Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2051 - 2050: Inferior to Others, Unwilling to Learn
"Is there anything strange about this medicinal ingredient?"
"It clearly looks just like an ordinary spirit grass!"
"But if it truly is just an ordinary spirit grass, why would the Blood-Robed Immortal Venerable remind Senior Brother Han?"
"As Senior Brother Han’s master and a top-grade sixth-grade Pill Master, the Blood-Robed Immortal Venerable definitely wouldn’t speak without reason..."
...
Whispered discussions from the disciples of the Divine Dao Religion reached his ears, and Han Junjie’s thoughts were in turmoil for a while.
He was also puzzled, as it seemed like an ordinary spirit grass, so why did his master remind him?
Could it be that this spirit grass has some peculiar quality?
"Lord Han!"
At this moment, Huaa Qingfei nudged Han Junjie and spoke in a low voice, "Come on, your minute is almost up."
Han Junjie furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you think this is?"
Huaa Qingfei pursed her lips and said, "I also think it’s just an ordinary spirit grass; otherwise, we would definitely have never seen such a spiritual medicine before!"
"What about you?" Han Junjie turned to the man and woman behind him.
The two were evidently contemplating, and upon hearing Han Junjie’s question, they both shook their heads.
"I’ve said it before, those two are both useless!" Huaa Qingfei snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, the man and woman appeared angry.
Bear in mind, this is the Divine Dao Religion, not her Palace of the Holy Maiden!
If Huaa Qingfei were already married into the place, it might be tolerable, but she hadn’t married over yet, so why was she acting so arrogant?
Moreover, Han Junjie chose them because their alchemical attainment was among the highest of their peer group in the Divine Dao Religion, and they had their own pride.
Huaa Qingfei repeatedly insulting them like this—how could they accept it?
"Since Fairy Chenfei isn’t useless, then let’s have her take on the Alchemy Contest herself!"
With a cold snort, the two immediately stood up and jumped off the stage.
This dramatic moment took everyone by surprise.
Han Junjie was still absorbed in speculating about the medicinal ingredient, so he hadn’t noticed.
But over there, Huaa Qingfei was visibly furious, pointing at them, "What, you were useless from beginning to end, and you’re upset when I call you wastrels?"
"Shut up!"
Xue Yushuang’s countenance turned cold as she suddenly shouted, "Huaa Qingfei, this is the Divine Dao Religion, not your Palace of the Holy Maiden. If you want to act up, go back there to act up!"
"You!"
"What about me?"
The two beauties clashed, but it was evident that despite Huaa Qingfei being revered as Fairy Chenfei, this was still the Divine Dao Religion and her presence seemed somewhat diminished.
"Enough!"
The Blood-Robed Venerable furrowed his brows and looked at Huaa Qingfei, "Though you are one of the Top Ten Fairies, the higher you stand, the more you should mind your behavior. Constantly insulting and provoking others does not befit the title of a fairy."
Huaa Qingfei wasn’t foolish; she wouldn’t dare challenge a super powerhouse of Dao Sovereign Realm.
Despite her dissatisfaction, she replied, "I respectfully heed your advice, senior..."
The Blood-Robed Venerable ignored her and said, "Alright, the minute is up."
Han Junjie suddenly felt powerless all over.
Once again, he had lost!
Yet, he couldn’t understand; if this isn’t a spirit grass, then what is it?
"It’s a spirit grass, but not an ordinary one!"
Su Han spoke, unraveling the confusion in Han Junjie’s heart.
"This is a Nine-Colored Spirit Grass!"
"Nine-Colored Spirit Grass?"
Han Junjie furrowed his brows, puzzled about what this meant.
But when his gaze, accidentally, noticed the gleams surrounding the spirit grass, he suddenly came to a realization!
Previously, he had focused all his attention on the spirit grass, so all his effort was concentrated on observing it.
The surrounding gleams indeed existed, but he had assumed they were manifestations of Su Han’s Power of Cultivation and paid no mind!
At this moment, following Su Han’s words, Han Junjie immediately found that the gleams around the spirit grass indeed had nine colors, confirming it was a Nine-Colored Spirit Grass!
"Young Master Han, don’t consider things only from one side, understand?"
Su Han said calmly, "Just as, when on Flower God Star, you could see through my cultivation base as the Void Heaven Realm, but did you expect I could easily defeat the Divine Sea Realm?"
"Sigh..."
A sigh was heard, coming from the Blood-Robed Venerable.
Upon hearing the sigh, Han Junjie’s body shook violently with an indescribable emotion arising in his heart.
Even though he didn’t understand the emotion, he knew he hated Su Han!
Had it been only Su Han or others mocking him, Han Junjie would have been angered but not felt this way. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Yet now, even his master sighed with such disappointment, leaving Han Junjie feeling utterly defeated and wishing he could find a hole to hide in!
All of this, he attributed to Su Han.
He felt it was because of Su Han that he lost face and because of Su Han that his master was so disappointed in him!
When all his emotions concentrated into a single point, Han Junjie finally exploded.
"You cheated!!!"
He stood up, staring at Su Han, and shouted, "Su Baliu, you knew this medicinal ingredient was just a transformation of light, yet you used such tricks. What is your intention!!!"
"Nonsense!"
Su Han snorted coldly, "If there really was cheating, then you cheated first!"
"When did I cheat?" Han Junjie asked with red eyes.
"I already handed the Memory Crystal to the Blood-Robed Venerable, who also looked at it. During this time, he spoke to remind you—what is that, if not cheating?" Su Han snorted coldly.
Han Junjie was momentarily silenced, unable to retort.
The Blood-Robed Venerable also lowered his head, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Su Han’s words were indeed the truth, and with so many people watching, even if he was of Dao Sovereign Realm, he couldn’t ignore reason, right?
"Han Junjie, you can blame no one but yourself for being too useless!"
Su Han continued, "The Blood-Robed Venerable already reminded you, yet you remained stubborn, focusing all your studies on this spirit grass. To you, does every medicinal ingredient have to concentrate everything on the ingredient itself to be a true medicinal ingredient?"
"You couldn’t see the Nine-Colored gleams, fine, but I told you, giving you more knowledge about an ingredient and expanding your understanding, yet you accused me of cheating!"
"Truly, you are not as skilled as anyone and fail to learn from others!"
"Pff!!!"
With Su Han’s words, Han Junjie finally couldn’t hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, spitting out this mouthful of blood surprisingly made Han Junjie calmer.
The anger and resentment on his face quickly disappeared, replaced with an expression of tranquility.
"I, Han, have learned."
As the words fell, Han Junjie took out a storage ring and continued, "Inside, there are million spirit crystals, which I lost as a wager to you."
