Chapter 2044: Chapter 2043: Alchemy Contest

"You!"

Han Junjie almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He suddenly realized that as long as there was a verbal spar with Su Han, in less than three sentences, Su Han would have him cursing furiously.

And as Young Master Yun Chong, Han Junjie, in front of so many people, was the heartthrob of many women.

He also wanted to disregard everything and verbally battle Su Han, but he couldn’t.

He was concerned about his image, his identity, his demeanor, and how others perceived him...

It was precisely these concerns that made him want to lash out at Su Han, yet he had to forcefully endure it.

"Lord Han, let it go."

Huaa Qingfei grabbed Han Junjie’s hand and said, "He’s just a petty man, only winning through words. There’s no need to match wits with him. When the alchemy contest begins, with your alchemical attainment, make him completely disgraced."

"Alright."

Han Junjie took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

On Su Han’s side, he once again said to the man, "Give me this spot, and consider it as owing me a favor."

The man was still reluctant, as the opportunity was rare.

"Give it to him."

Senior Sister Xue suddenly said, "Since Young Master Su is so confident, let him come."

"Alright then..."

Seeing that Senior Sister Xue had spoken, the man felt helpless and could only nod, leaving the arena.

...

On Han Junjie’s side, besides him and Huaa Qingfei, there were two others, a man and a woman.

Obviously, they served under Han Junjie, with the other three as support.

However, due to her status, Huaa Qingfei sat parallel to Han Junjie, while the others sat behind them, clearly of lower status.

But on Su Han’s side, it was different.

Besides him and Senior Sister Xue, the other two were both men.

These two initially wanted to sit behind Senior Sister Xue, but she said, "In Alchemy Dao, there’s no high or low. Sit alongside me."

Upon hearing this, the two showed gratitude.

"Junior Sister, are you ready?" Han Junjie looked towards Senior Sister Xue.

"Yes," Senior Sister Xue nodded gently.

At this moment, Su Han suddenly looked at Senior Sister Xue and asked, "May I know Miss Xue’s name?"

Senior Sister Xue was startled, clearly not expecting this. In the Divine Dao Religion, she was so famous; her reputation came not just from her alchemical skills but her beauty as the religion’s first beauty.

And this Nine Shadows Young Master... didn’t even know her name!

"No wonder no one wants to marry the Nine Shadows Young Master, his emotional intelligence is way too low."

Huaa Qingfei sneered, "Junior Sister Xue’s name is Xue Yushuang, please don’t forget it, Young Master Nine Shadows."

"No one marrying me is because I don’t want to marry them."

Su Han said indifferently, "Even if there are ten thousand women like you, I wouldn’t want one."

Huaa Qingfei’s pretty face changed, but this time, she held back.

"Okay."

Xue Yushuang said, "Since everyone is ready, let’s start the alchemy contest."

"Alright,"

Han Junjie nodded, glancing coldly at Su Han, with a smirk at the corner of his lips.

"This alchemy contest will proceed as before, divided into three parts: Guess Medicine, Guess Pill, and Alchemy."

"Next, we’ll start with the first round, Guess Medicine."

As he spoke, Han Junjie looked at Su Han, "I presume Young Master Su knows what Guess Medicine means? You present the medicine, and I guess, and vice versa."

"The medicine may not be real, the pill may not be real, but... it must exist, and you must have seen it with your own eyes before!"

"The same applies to alchemicals."

"Of course, for the third round, Alchemy, it must be genuine."

"For this contest, our witness will be..."

Han Junjie continued, pointing to a middle-aged man standing on the left side of the arena.

Su Han sensed a Fusion Realm pressure from him, and on his chest was a Lower Fifth Grade Alchemist Badge!

However, before Han Junjie could finish his introduction, a hoarse voice suddenly came from afar.

"This time, how about I serve as your witness?"

Everyone looked up to see Venerable Yulin and Blood-Robed Venerable approaching.

Their steps seemed slow, but their speed was extremely fast.

A moment ago, when everyone looked over, they were still far away.

The next moment, they had crossed the crowd and arrived before the arena.

"Greetings to the two Archbishops!"

Upon their appearance, many disciples immediately dispersed and respectfully saluted.

Han Junjie also straightened his expression, stood up and bowed, "Greetings Master, greetings Venerable Yulin."

"Father," Xue Yushuang also stood up.

Their words made Su Han pause for a moment.

The Blood-Robed Venerable was unexpectedly Han Junjie’s master?

And Venerable Yulin was Xue Yushuang’s father?

In a flash of realization, Su Han understood.

Of course, Venerable Yulin’s name is Xue Linzi, Xue Yushuang shares his surname.

"No need to be so formal."

Blood-Robed Venerable stepped onto the arena, and the Fusion Realm Fifth Grade Alchemist immediately retreated respectfully.

"A match between the First Freak of Ages and the finest disciple of our Divine Dao Religion is rare; I must join in the fun."

The Blood-Robed Venerable chuckled, "This time, I will be your witness."

"That’s certainly great,"

Han Junjie’s eyes flashed, "With Master as the witness, this alchemy contest will certainly be much more exciting."

Su Han just smiled without speaking.

This Han Junjie, wants to compete with me in alchemy?

Even if a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert came, what of it?

Besides, the Blood-Robed Venerable doesn’t seem like the type to show favoritism towards Han Junjie.

"It’s my first alchemy contest, unfamiliar with the Divine Dao Religion’s rules. If I make any mistakes, I hope the senior can guide me," Su Han cupped his fists before seating himself.

"Then let’s begin," Blood-Robed Venerable smiled warmly.

"Young Master Su, will you go first, or shall I?" Han Junjie asked Su Han.

Su Han casually said, "As you wish."

"Then I will go first!"

Han Junjie sneered, waving his hand as a glow transformed from his cultivation base appeared in his hand.

The light quickly condensed, changing colors, forming into a greenish-blue plant covered in sharp thorns.

At the tip of the thorns were numerous black spots, dense and uncountable. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Young Master Su, care to guess what kind of medicinal ingredient this is?" Han Junjie’s voice came.

"This is..."

Before Su Han could speak, a man beside him was about to.

On Xue Yushuang’s side, including Su Han, they were four people; if Su Han didn’t know, the others could also speak.

"Wait!"

However, at this moment, Su Han suddenly interrupted the man.

"Since it’s an alchemy contest, there should definitely be stakes."

Su Han said lightly, "You haven’t mentioned yet, what are the stakes for this contest?"
