Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1570: Chapter 1569: No One Can Teach Me!

People fear fame, just as pigs fear getting fat.

This saying makes sense, but sometimes, people need a certain kind of reputation, a reputation strong enough to protect themselves.

At this moment, Su Han is gaining such a reputation.

”If you have more, then let’s continue,” Su Han said with a smile as he saw the old woman stop.

The old woman looked deeply at Su Han, was silent for a moment, and then said, ”The test on the first level, according to the usual rules, only presents one hundred medicinal ingredients. Whoever scores the highest is the first in this test. Currently, you are far ahead with a score of 76.”

”However, we need to proceed with the rest because the further we go, the more challenging it becomes. Some herbs, even Second Grade Alchemists might recognize, while you might not. This also provides extra points.”

”There are twenty-four herbs remaining. Everyone get ready, I am about to begin.”

”Wow!”

Upon the remark, the screen changed, and surprisingly, a chicken’s head appeared on the screen.

This was a real chicken head, not an illusion; it was entirely substantial!

Many were stunned.

What does a chicken head have to do with medicine?

”Second Grade Medicinal Herb, Chicken Feather.”

Su Han continued to speak calmly: ”Second Grade Spirit Beast, Phoenix Spirit Chicken, has the head and body of a chicken, but its tail resembles a phoenix. Without any accidents, it can survive for at least fifty thousand years, making it one of the longest natural lifespans among Second Grade Spirit Beasts. It has a feather on its forehead called Chicken Feather, which can be refined into pill liquid and incorporated into a pill, adding a hundred years to lifespan.”

”This...”

”Is this possible?”

”Damn, he even knows about this?”

The crowd was shocked, especially the alchemists.

As First Grade Alchemists, their knowledge of medicinal ingredients is indeed limited. Even if they recognize some, most are plant-based medicinal ingredients. As for the Second Grade Spirit Beast Phoenix Spirit Chicken, they have heard of it, but they never knew, atop the Phoenix Spirit Chicken’s head, there’s a feather that can increase lifespan!

Describing their current expressions as shocked or stunned wouldn’t quite capture it.

It should be... astonished!

Yes, astonished!

This astonishment, in the beginning, was minimal, as most were shocked instead.

However, as time passed, as the old woman presented those remaining twenty-three medicinal ingredients on the screen, and Su Han identified each without fail, the astonishment on their faces became more pronounced.

In the end, they looked at Su Han as if looking at a ghost!

Not just them, even the old woman, Yao Qing, and that old man were trembling with excitement, gazing at Su Han incredulously!

”Whose apprentice are you?”

Even the old woman’s speech was slightly stammering. As a Third-Grade Pill Master and a Void Heaven Realm expert, her state of mind should be calm and unmoved. This First Grade Alchemist, unless exceptionally gifted, would rarely catch their attention.

But at this moment, the old woman could hardly contain it, as an impulse rose from within her to take him in as an apprentice.

She felt that, given Su Han’s profound knowledge and thorough research about medicinal ingredients, he must have had a master guiding him; otherwise, how could he know so much?

The hundredth medicinal ingredient was known by less than ninety percent of Second Grade Alchemists; only Third-Grade Pill Masters had heard of it.

Yet, Su Han, as before, not only mentioned the name of the medicinal ingredient but also described its effect!

Absolutely terrifying!!!

”In the alchemical lineage, I have no master,” Su Han shook his head.

”Then I, Yao Qing, wish to take you as my apprentice, how about it?”

Before the old woman could speak, Yao Qing immediately stepped forward.

The old woman frowned, looking at Yao Qing: ”President, isn’t this a bit against the rules?”

”Ahem...”

Yao Qing lightly coughed, showing his embarrassment, but he did not retract his previous statement.

This act was indeed somewhat against the rules.

The old woman had already been standing in front of Su Han, clearly intending to take him as a disciple, and logically, Yao Qing should have stepped aside.

Yet Yao Qing was quicker, speaking faster than the old woman, clearly competing with the old woman!

Their relationship, while not bad, at this moment... really wasn’t a matter of relationships.

”No need for the three seniors to compete.”

Su Han’s lips curled into an arrogant smile: ”Because... no one can teach me.”

”What!!!”

Upon these words, the surroundings fell into silence.

”Say that again?” The old woman frowned, somewhat in disbelief.

No one can teach him?

He’s merely a First-Grade Alchemist yet uttered such outrageous statements?

”No one can teach me,” Su Han said calmly, his expression still serene.

”Boom!!!”

The entire scene exploded at that moment.

Countless gazes, filled with disbelief, some even showing anger.

”This is too arrogant, isn’t it?”

”Even if he is knowledgeable and has deep research on medication, he can’t be so dismissive!”

”Alchemist Yao is the president of this Pill Refining Association branch, a Third-Grade Great Alchemist who can refine Superior Quality Pills, yet he claims even Alchemist Yao can’t teach him?”

”That’s simply nonsensical!”

”Alchemists aren’t the Martial Path, even the Martial Path becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. The Alchemical Lineage is even more so; does he truly possess such ability or is he... indeed arrogant?”

...

A roar of chatter filled the air, none could believe these words came from a First-Grade Alchemist.

Arrogant, brash, with a touch of... dominating!

Even Shen Mengli, who was visibly excited, frowned slightly, feeling Su Han went too far.

How many dream of apprenticing under Yao Qing?

This fellow, fine with rejection, but to look down on Yao Qing this way?

”Sigh...”

Yao Qing let out a deep breath, glanced at Su Han, the excitement dissipating, and slowly sat back down.

”The young often surpass the old, young one, your confidence is ample.”

These words seemed to mask his embarrassment from being refused.

Neither he, the old man, nor the old woman, standing before Su Han, kept a cool demeanor as they sat back down.

”Su Han, what are you doing?”

Shen Mengli glanced at the visibly displeased expressions on their faces, feeling a bit anxious as she transmitted a message to Su Han: ”This is like a pie falling from the sky, why don’t you quickly catch it and instead fuss over the taste of the pie?”

”If they take me as an apprentice, it will only be more awkward later,” Su Han replied casually.

”You!”

Shen Mengli’s pretty face reddened with anger, stamping her feet, she chose not to interact further.

She simply couldn’t fathom what Su Han was thinking?

Such a great opportunity right in front of him, just rejected like that?

Rejection aside, but not to offend them!
