The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Tai Sui Seedling

“Has this young man gone mad?”

“He’s too arrogant!”

“If this young man can’t answer, he’ll probably be thrown out on the spot!”

Fang Lin’s words instantly made the previously depressed scene explode. Even some people who had some appreciation for Fang Lin before, felt that Fang Lin’s words were too much.

“Hehe, Elder Su, the people of your Qian Country, have small abilities, but big talks.” The elder named Yan sneered.

Old Woman Gu spoke coldly: “If it was in my Meng Kingdom, anyone who dared to talk big like this, I would be the first to cut them down.”

Elder Su snorted: “Since he dares to say so, he must have his confidence.”

However, even though he said so, Elder Su also felt distressed in his heart. Would you, lad, die if you keep a low profile? It would be all right if you didn’t speak, but why every time you open your mouth, it seems like you’re about to soar into the sky?

“Hahaha, this young man is interesting, I like him, Elder Su, let him be my apprentice.” Lu Wuwei laughed, his eyes shining, as if he saw something very interesting.

Elder Su shook his head and laughed: “I can’t make that decision, if you really want to take him as your apprentice, you should talk to him personally.”

At this moment, the gray-robed elder was stimulated by Fang Lin’s words and his face became very ugly.

“Very well, I have never seen such an arrogant young man like you. If you can’t answer today, I will throw you out of Black Cauldron City!” The gray-robed elder said angrily.

Now, many people were waiting to see Fang Lin made a fool of himself. If Fang Lin was really thrown out of Black Cauldron City, then both he himself and the face of Qian Country’s Pill Alliance would probably be completely lost.

After all, they have never seen a participant in the Pill Refiner Conference being thrown out of Black Cauldron City just because they failed the first round, plant identification. This is a pure joke.

Fang Lin pursed his lips, his face unconcerned: “What if I can answer?”

The gray-robed elder sneered: “If you can answer, I will apologize to you publicly.”

Fang Lin nodded and laughed: “There’s no need to apologize, just casually give me a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb.”

The gray-robed elder almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Are you crazy, lad? Just casually give you a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb? Do you think thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herbs are cabbages? Can they just be given away?

“Wait until you can answer.” The gray-robed elder said snorting.

Fang Lin pointed at the thing that looked like a mushroom and said: “This, is called Tai Sui.”

“What?” Everyone’s faces changed, and the gray-robed elder was also dumbfounded.

The gray-robed elder looked at Fang Lin incredulously, his eyes as if he was looking at a monster.

“How do you know it’s Tai Sui?” The gray-robed elder asked in frustration.

Fang Lin smiled slightly: “Tai Sui, you all must have heard of it. This thing is mysterious. When it grows, it absorbs all the vitality within a hundred miles, causing a hundred miles to become desolate. However, this Tai Sui is very different. It’s still in its initial stage, and it was uprooted before it could continue to grow. So to be precise, this is a sprout of Tai Sui.”

“What? This is actually a sprout of Tai Sui?” Many people were shocked, but more people showed a skeptical expression.

No wonder many people didn’t believe it. After all, what Fang Lin said was too mysterious. This thing that looked like a mushroom was actually the ominous Tai Sui from the rumors?

Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong seemed to have realized something and showed realization on their faces. When they looked at Fang Lin again, there was something strange in their eyes.

“That’s right, you’re correct. This is indeed a sprout of Tai Sui.” The gray-robed elder just bitterly smiled, feeling very defeated.

He originally wanted to use this sprout of Tai Sui to stump everyone, and then explain it to them with a mysterious face. Then these young ones would look at him with awe.

Unfortunately, this beautiful imagination was ruthlessly shattered by Fang Lin.

“It’s really a sprout of Tai Sui!”

“Did Fang Lin actually get it right?”

“Could it be that Fang Lin is actually a hidden master?”

Everyone was shocked. Even such a strange thing as a sprout of Tai Sui could be recognized. This was really amazing.

Even a genius like Zhao Shenkong couldn’t recognize it, but Fang Lin did, what does that imply?

At least in terms of plant identification, among these younger generation present, no one was likely to be a match for him.

“Sigh, this lad just doesn’t know how to keep a low profile.” Elder Su showed off his expression on purpose, as he said so.

The elder named Yan and Old Woman Gu on the side were both green with anger, as they were just making fun of Elder Su, but in a blink of an eye, they were slapped in the face.

“What’s there to be proud of? It’s just recognizing a few more herbs.” The elder named Yan said disdainfully.

Three people named Zhuge Cang didn’t say anything. Fang Lin’s performance was indeed a bit surprising, but it was only in plant identification.

As the gray-robed elder was about to leave, Fang Lin suddenly said shyly: “Senior, what about my thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb?”

The gray-robed elder was immediately thrown into confusion. When did I promise to give you a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb? Aren’t you lad a bit too shameless?

The other people also looked at Fang Lin strangely. It was the first time they had seen anyone directly ask for a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb.

“I didn’t promise to give you any thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb, don’t make things up!” The gray-robed elder said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin showed regret: “If that’s the case, I won’t force it. After all, I’m the younger one, and I should be more tolerant of the elders.”

After saying that, he sat down.

The gray-robed elder’s face turned extremely ugly, feeling like something was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, which was unbearable.

At this moment, the grey-robed elder left directly. He didn’t want to take another look at Fang Lin.

Even though the gray-robed elder had left, Fang Lin’s performance in plant identification left a deep impression on many people present.

Even though Fang Lin only answered twice, these two times were extremely crucial and were the two answers with the highest value.

After all, these were the two difficult questions that Zhao Shenkong, Guo Zhen, and Su Xiaotong failed to answer, and yet Fang Lin lightly answered them.

It was always fear of comparison. Compared with the performances of Zhao Shenkong and the others, Fang Lin was undoubtedly much better in this round.

If this Pill Refiner Conference only had this round, then Fang Lin could be considered the best performer.

With the end of the plant identification, the next round was naturally the appraisal of Pill Formulas.

Compared with plants, the difficulty of Pill Formulas requires more in-depth knowledge and experience from the Pill Refiner.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you all understand the significance of a Pill Formula to a Pill Refiner. Each Pill Formula embodies the wisdom and hard work of our predecessors. Today, we dare not discuss the Pill Formulas left by our predecessors, but simply appreciate them.” A middle-aged man with a kind face stepped forward and said with a smile.

After that, he took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table in front of him.
