The reason why Fang Lin answered in this way is not because he wanted to show off but because he didn't pay attention to Elder Wang's lecture at all. He just pretended to be interested and his mind was anywhere but here. Who knows what he was thinking at that moment, anyway he just listened a little at the beginning of the lecture.
Since he had no idea what Elder Wang was talking about, when Fang Lin had to answer this question, he could only draw from his own experience.
His response, however, caused trouble. Fang Lin's accomplishment in Alchemy Tao was so profound that he knew plenty of ways to improve the Three-patterned Essence Pill. He casually mentioned a few, which shocked everyone present.
It was because Fang Lin had thrown out several improvement methods at once, that the elders immediately retorted. They simply didn't believe what Fang Lin said, thinking that he was just amusing himself and talking nonsense.
