Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2047: Chapter 2046: You Lost!

”Hm?”

When the three words ”Golden Cloud Dew” came out of Su Han’s mouth, Han Junjie’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

”First Grade Medicinal Ingredient? This medicinal ingredient is only at the level of First Grade?”

”No way, right? With a stake like this, how could Senior Brother Han possibly take out a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient for Young Master Su to guess?”

”Look at Senior Brother Han’s expression... seems like Young Master Su guessed right?”

Many people were somewhat unconvinced.

In their eyes, under an Alchemy Contest like this, whatever Han Junjie took out would be at least a Fourth Grade Medicinal Ingredient.

Yet according to what Su Han just said, this Golden Cloud Dew was merely a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient!

”Young Master Han, was I right?”

Su Han ignored the others and instead asked Han Junjie.

”Hmph!”

Han Junjie snorted coldly and said, ”This Guess Medicine isn’t just about saying the name of the medicinal ingredient. Its origin, its effects, you have to explain everything clearly and in detail!”

Su Han smiled, his expression still calm, and said, ”Most of you probably haven’t heard of Golden Cloud Dew, but Golden Cloud Grass, you’ve heard of that, right?”

Hearing this, the eyes of many Divine Dao Religion Disciples below immediately lit up.

”Golden Cloud Grass? The Third-Grade Herb Golden Cloud Grass?”

”Hahaha, of course we’ve heard of it!”

”Young Master Su, is there some difference between this Golden Cloud Grass and Golden Cloud Dew?”

”Of course.”

Su Han smiled and said, ”Golden Cloud Grass grows out from Golden Cloud Dew.”

”What?!”

”How is that possible?”

”A Third-Grade Medicinal Material can grow out of a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient? Young Master Su, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Many people didn’t believe it and immediately refuted him.

But Su Han said, ”Golden Cloud Dew is a medicinal herb, and yet not a medicinal herb.”

”Its root is cold by nature and exists ten thousand fathoms beneath the water. Its stalk is illusory, not solidly condensed. It takes a thousand years of dew, a full ten drops, to form a single stalk, which is why it’s so thin.”

”Within the dew there is cloud, and from the cloud is born grass—that is... Golden Cloud Grass.”

”To put it plainly, the Golden Cloud Grass you usually see is actually something that fell from the Golden Cloud Dew and then grew on its own!”

”And when Golden Cloud Grass has just been born, without Golden Cloud Dew, it absolutely cannot survive!”

Listening to Su Han’s explanation, those Divine Dao Religion Disciples below were still frowning tightly.

Seeing this, Su Han smiled again and said, ”Among all of you, has anyone ever discovered wild Golden Cloud Grass and then harvested it?”

”I have!”

”I’ve found it too!”

”And me!”

Quite a few people immediately spoke up and eagerly stepped forward.

Su Han looked at them and said again, ”Then let me ask: the Golden Cloud Grass you harvested—wasn’t it all already fully mature?”

Hearing this, these people all froze for a moment.

There was no need to answer. Just by looking at each other, they could understand what the others were thinking.

”Let me ask once more.”

Su Han swept his gaze across the crowd and said loudly, ”Looking over the entire Divine Dao Religion, Fuxi Star, as the Star of Medicinal Herbs, the hometown of Pill Masters—have you ever seen Golden Cloud Grass in its juvenile stage? On this whole Fuxi Star there are countless medicinal ingredients. Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade are nothing special, there are even Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade Top-Grade medicinal herbs!”

”But has anyone been able to cultivate this kind of Golden Cloud Grass?”

When these words fell, everyone’s bodies shook!

Right...

They had never noticed it before. After all, there were simply too many medicinal ingredients on Fuxi Star; it was impossible to remember them all.

But now, with this question from Su Han, once they thought about it carefully, they immediately realized that Golden Cloud Grass really did not exist in that way!

Any Golden Cloud Grass within the Divine Dao Religion was either purchased or wild; there absolutely wasn’t any that had been cultivated!

What did this prove?

It proved that what Su Han said was right: Golden Cloud Grass must rely on Golden Cloud Dew to survive. Other people, even a Seventh Grade Pill Master, likely wouldn’t be able to cultivate it!

”As for where this Golden Cloud Dew exists...”

Su Han pondered for a moment, then said, ”The richer the Spiritual Energy in a place, the less likely Golden Cloud Dew will be found there! That’s why it’s only a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient. Also because of this, after Golden Cloud Grass grows from Golden Cloud Dew to a certain level, it will naturally detach and go elsewhere to grow.”

”Because Golden Cloud Grass needs Spiritual Energy, but Golden Cloud Dew hates Spiritual Energy!”

”Under normal circumstances, only in extremely cold places will Golden Cloud Dew exist. Moreover, Golden Cloud Dew only appears at night, when the Heaven and Earth Xuan Yin qi is at its densest.”

”As for its effects, aside from being used to refine Poison Pills, it has absolutely no use for ordinary people. But for those with the Body of Xuan Yin, its effect is superb!”

After this explanation, all the surrounding chatter vanished!

Everyone was staring at Han Junjie, as if waiting for his confirmation.

After speaking, Su Han also looked at Han Junjie and said with a faint smile, ”Young Master Han, what I just said—was it right or wrong?”

Han Junjie’s face was gloomy as he said in a low voice, ”I didn’t expect you to even know about Golden Cloud Dew. Seems you do understand a bit about the Alchemy Dao!”

”Then this round is my win?”

Su Han smiled and then said to the Blood-Robed Venerable, ”Senior, you can verify it now.”

The Blood-Robed Venerable nodded and took out a Crystal Stone.

This Crystal Stone was a Memory Crystal.

Before Han Junjie took out the medicinal ingredient, everything about the ingredient he intended to use—its origin, its effects, its Grade, and so on—had already been recorded into the Memory Crystal and kept by the Blood-Robed Venerable.

In this way, as long as what Su Han said matched what was recorded in the Crystal Stone, it meant Su Han had answered correctly!

And Han Junjie couldn’t possibly alter the record of this medicinal ingredient midway.

Nor would he randomly falsify information about this ingredient, with the Blood-Robed Venerable, a Sixth Grade Pill Master, standing right here.

Moreover, although Han Junjie was narrow-minded, as a Pill Master he could still abide by a Pill Master’s basic principles.

In the Divine Dao Religion, the most taboo thing was spouting nonsense about the Alchemy Dao. Especially for a Heavenly Talent like Han Junjie, everything he said could influence the path the other Disciples of the Divine Dao Religion would follow in the future. If he talked nonsense, it would definitely disturb the Alchemy Dao hearts of other Disciples, and the consequences of that would be extremely serious.

Seeing Su Han looking over, the Blood-Robed Venerable nodded, then tossed the Memory Crystal into the sky.

The Memory Crystal suddenly exploded, turning into a screen of light, on which the origin, effects, Grade, and so on of Golden Cloud Dew were all recorded clearly.

And all of it was exactly the same as what Su Han had said!

”You lost!”

Su Han flicked his sleeve, stretched out his right hand, and hooked a finger at Han Junjie.

”Ten thousand Spirit Crystals, hand them over!”

”Hmph!”

Han Junjie snorted coldly, but he did not go back on his word and immediately gave Su Han ten thousand Spirit Crystals.

”It’s just ten thousand Spirit Crystals, not some huge sum. What’s there to be so smug about?” Huaa Qingfei muttered on the side.
