Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2050: Chapter 2049: Xue Yushuang’s Speculation

”This is only the first two rounds, what are you in such a hurry for?”

Being mocked like that by Su Han, Han Junjie naturally couldn’t keep his face, and forced himself to say, ”There’s still the third round, and there’s also the Guess Pill and actual Alchemy segments. With Han’s Alchemical Attainment, I won’t necessarily lose to you!”

”Oh really?”

Su Han smiled faintly. ”No matter, let’s start the third round then.”

Only to hear Han Junjie give a cold snort: ”In the third round, you and I each take out one Medicinal Ingredient. If you can guess mine while I fail to guess yours, then I lose. Conversely, it’s the same for you! If we both guess right, or both guess wrong, then it’s a draw—no one wins, no one loses!”

As his words fell, Han Junjie first handed Blood-Robed Venerable a Crystal Stone, then flipped his palm, and light once again condensed and transformed.

This time what appeared was not a Medicinal Ingredient, but... a single drop of water!

When they saw this drop of water, Xue Yushuang and the others once again furrowed their brows.

But on Su Han’s side, his eyes just flashed, and before that droplet could change form, he directly spoke: ”Water-fused Immortal Flower!”

As soon as these words came out, Han Junjie’s expression changed drastically!

”How do you know!!!”

”This is a Medicinal Ingredient Han saw in an Immortal Realm. In terms of Grade, it even surpasses Seventh Grade. Looking across the Lower-Class Star Region, don’t say you—even those at the Heavenly Emperor Realm may not necessarily recognize it!”

At this moment, Han Junjie really had the urge to spit blood.

This herb was his greatest trump card, and he hadn’t lied. It was indeed something he’d seen only after, by a stroke of immense fortune, entering a certain Secret Realm.

That Secret Realm was exactly the Immortal Realm Han Junjie had just mentioned!

When he saw this herb at the time, it wasn’t its real body, merely an Illusion. But according to the records on this herb, its Grade truly had already surpassed that of Seventh Grade Medicinal Herbs!

Han Junjie felt that for such a Medicinal Ingredient, there were probably extremely few in this world who even knew of it, and even fewer who had seen it.

He’d planned to use it to ruthlessly defeat Su Han in this third round.

However, what made him nearly spray blood was that before the Water-fused Immortal Flower had fully manifested, Su Han had already recognized it!

Could he really be that much of a freak?!

His Martial Path Aptitude was already that terrifying, and his understanding of the Alchemy Dao was also this astonishing!!!

”This water is not ordinary water.”

Su Han fixed his gaze on Han Junjie and said in a deep voice, ”This is Water of the Heavenly River, soaked for a full hundred thousand years. Only within an area a hundred miles around, at a depth of ten thousand meters, can such a single drop of water be formed.”

”The Immortal Spirit Flower grows within the Water of the Heavenly River. After countless years of accumulation, it completely fuses with the Water of the Heavenly River, indistinguishable from it, and thus is called... Water-fused Immortal Flower!”

”This kind of Medicinal Ingredient has indeed surpassed the level of the Lower-Class Star Region. Even Seventh Grade Medicinal Herbs cannot compare to it.”

”But... if placed in a Middle-Class Star Region, Water-fused Immortal Flower is nothing particularly precious.”

”Its use is singular—it only serves to raise Cultivation Base, and even then, it targets Immortals of the Middle-Class Star Region, not the Cultivators of a Lower-Class Star Region.”

”All in all, if someone could obtain such a Water-fused Immortal Flower within a Lower-Class Star Region, it would also be something of inestimable value!”

When he finished speaking, Su Han looked again at Han Junjie and said with a Leng Xiao, ”Brother Han, was what I said correct?”

”How exactly do you know all this!!!”

Han Junjie’s expression turned somewhat hideous, and he nearly roared, ”I only entered that Immortal Realm thanks to a heaven-defying stroke of fortune. Don’t tell me... you went in as well?!”

”How I know has nothing to do with you. All you need to understand is...”

Su Han tapped his own forehead and said blandly, ”What’s stored in here is far, far more than what’s in yours.”

”Whoosh!”

Over on Blood-Robed Immortal Venerable’s side, his palm waved, and the Memory Crystal shattered. Everything Han Junjie had recorded within it was completely projected before everyone’s eyes.

Though the handwriting differed, the general meaning was almost identical.

Not a single word of what Su Han said was wrong!

”Young Master Su... is this badass?”

”That’s a Medicinal Ingredient only found in a Middle-Class Star Region—how would he know it?”

”This kind of thing is utter fog to us. Even if it really appeared before our eyes, we probably couldn’t recognize it.”

”A freak is, after all, still a freak...”

Noisy exclamations rose one after another, and many people cast looks of admiration toward Su Han.

The two men beside Su Han exchanged glances, both wearing bitter smiles.

For this Alchemy Contest, although they were here to assist, it seemed they basically hadn’t had any chance to speak at all!

It was as if...

It had already turned into a clash between Nine Shadows Young Master and Young Master Yun Chong.

Even Xue Yushuang had no choice but to admit that while her talent in the Alchemy Dao was about on par with Han Junjie’s, she truly didn’t recognize either of the herbs Han Junjie had produced.

Compared to Su Han...

Her so-called talent in the Alchemy Dao appeared all the more insignificant!

”Wasn’t he supposed to have poured all of his time into the Martial Path? How can he understand the Alchemy Dao to this degree as well?”

Xue Yushuang stole a furtive glance at Su Han and thought in her heart, ”It’s one thing for him to know Medicinal Ingredients from the Lower-Class Star Region, but how would he know those of the Middle-Class Star Region?”

”And those three scenes from earlier...”

At a certain moment, Xue Yushuang’s delicate body trembled. Her eyes, fixed on Su Han, suddenly widened.

”Could he be... the reincarnation of some powerful expert?”

...

”Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?”

After also handing Blood-Robed Immortal Venerable a Memory Crystal, Su Han’s palm burst into radiance.

The light shifted and finally formed a stalk that looked vividly green, yet was extremely ordinary... grass.

Yes, just a stalk of grass.

So ordinary it couldn’t be more ordinary, just like those little weeds you could see everywhere and trample a whole patch of with one step.

”Hahahahaha...”

Han Junjie immediately burst into loud laughter. ”Su Baliu, are you truly looking down on Han?”

”If you know it, then just say so,” Su Han said with a smile.

”This is a Spirit Grass, barely reaching the level of a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient. It’s just some ordinary weed that gained fortune and, after absorbing a bit of Spiritual Energy, then...”

”Ahem!”

Before Han Junjie could finish, Blood-Robed Immortal Venerable beside him lightly coughed a few times and said in a deep voice, ”Junjie, take a good look!”

Hearing this, Su Han couldn’t help but glance at Blood-Robed Venerable.

In the end, he was still Han Junjie’s Master!

It wasn’t exactly favoritism, but he also didn’t want to see Han Junjie lose this miserably.

So he couldn’t help but speak up and remind him.

As for Han Junjie, after hearing Blood-Robed Venerable’s words, he was stunned for a moment.

The next instant, he stared at that Medicinal Ingredient again, his brows knitting tightly together as he fell silent.

From this herb, he couldn’t see any special traits at all. It clearly looked no different from the Spirit Grass he’d just described!
