Chapter 1682: Chapter 1682: Ancient Beast Bodyguards!
Ye Qiu, as an Alchemist, has a distinct advantage over the other participants, particularly in recalling knowledge related to Spiritual dicine and Alchemy, as he has a special thod in mind.
Ye Qiu morized the Spiritual dicine on the four walls swiftly, and as he was about to take on the challenge of entering the five-story pavilion, the others focused their attention on him.
“So soon? How long has it been?” Li Hanbing said in surprise as he watched Ye Qiu. Was Ye Qiu truly ready, or was he just trying his luck? Li Hanbing speculated.
“Huh?” Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong also looked on, puzzled at Ye Qiu’s courage to attempt so quickly.
Among them, Hua Wuhun was the sole person who believed Ye Qiu could pass the challenge.
Because she knew Ye Qiu was an Alchemist and could even refine top-grade pills.
For Ye Qiu, an Alchemist, the difficulties here were much simpler than for the others, who struggled to morize Spiritual dicine like oxen pulling a plow.
Ye Qiu touched a black slate, where an unusual Spirit Grass appeared, and a voice echoed in his mind.
“Please na this Spirit Grass, its characteristics, growth environnt, and effects…”
The voice was chanical and emotionless, and Ye Qiu imdiately answered.
“Star Spirit Grass prefers high-altitude regions, absorbing starlight to grow. Each year, it gains an extra leaf, and after a hundred years, it turns into Spiritual dicine, with its properties shifting from cold to warm. At this point, it no longer absorbs starlight but prefers sunlight…”
Ye Qiu could classify each Spirit Grass and Spiritual dicine on the slate in great detail, leaving Hua Wuhun, Li Hanbing, Situ Rong, and others in astonishnt, as his mory was unmatched.
“Miss Hua, who exactly is this Ye Fantian? He seems more like an Alchemist than a Martial Artist.” Li Hanbing remarked.
Li Hanbing wasn’t alone in this thought; Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong also wondered similarly, as it’s rare for Martial Artists to have such mory, capable of recalling thousands of distinct Spiritual dicines. This isn’t sothing training could improve; it depends on innate talent.
Although Li Hanbing and Wang Luoxing regarded themselves as talented in martial arts, when it ca to knowledge of Alchemy, they were perplexed. So people inherently lack this gift.
“There are one or two thousand kinds of Spiritual dicines recorded on each wall, totaling four thousand from the four walls, plus the previous floors. All in all, there are over ten thousand varieties, yet he morized them all and could describe them fluently, which is indeed terrifying.” Li Hanbing remarked casually.
“Indeed, the test involves not only the Spiritual dicines from the fourth floor but also from the third and second floors, making the difficulty almost exponentially greater.” Hua Wuhun didn’t respond directly but instead referred to the test’s difficulty.
As ti gradually passed, so tried to record Ye Qiu’s progress and were astounded to find that he had described over a hundred kinds of Spiritual dicines in detail.
“I feel like he might be able to enter the fifth floor.” Situ Rong said with a hint of jealousy, observing Ye Qiu’s fluent responses.
“Tsk tsk, no one has reached the fifth floor yet. Everything inside might belong to this guy.” Li Hanbing lanted, as they were near the fifth floor themselves. If Ye Qiu entered first, it feels like they missed out on a treasure mountain.
“Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu…” Suddenly, Wang Luoxing called out, surprising the others.
Ye Qiu was answering smoothly but paused when Wang Luoxing spoke, montarily losing his composure.
“Cough… sorry, I forgot you were taking the test.” Wang Luoxing apologized, but Ye Qiu had been interrupted and his impending success was thwarted.
Ye Qiu looked at Wang Luoxing’s apologetic face and chose not to say anything, knowing he could try again.
During Ye Qiu’s second attempt at the test, Wang Luoxing didn’t call him but began practicing, suddenly launching an attack in Ye Qiu’s direction.
A loud noise interrupted Ye Qiu’s test once more.
This ti, Ye Qiu sensed the malice, realizing that Wang Luoxing’s actions were deliberate, aiming to prevent him from passing.
“So despicable,” Ye Qiu muttered.
At this point, others noticed Wang Luoxing’s deliberate actions but chose silence, as preventing Ye Qiu from entering the five-story pavilion ant the treasures would remain unclaid. After all, each floor contained valuables, and those from prior floors were claid by Li Hanbing, Wang Luoxing, and others.
To keep the fifth floor’s treasures from Ye Qiu, Wang Luoxing’s underhanded acts resonated with their selfish hopes; good things should be gained personally, not seen slipping away. In the martial world, altruism is rare.
“Apologies, really, Ye Qiu, I didn’t an it.” Wang Luoxing even admitted his mistake, though Ye Qiu was displeased and refrained from acting.
“No worries, I don’t bla you. I’ll just try again, but this ti, I hope you can stay farther away from , Wang.” Ye Qiu replied insincerely.
“Sure thing, sure thing,” Wang Luoxing agreed.
Hua Wuhun secretly communicated to Ye Qiu, advising against wasting effort as Wang Luoxing was bound to interrupt him again intentionally.
Ye Qiu thanked Hua Wuhun, saying he could handle it, and there was no need for her concern.
As Ye Qiu attempted the test once more, Situ Rong glanced at Wang Luoxing, smiling in agreent. He was ready to cooperate in distracting Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn’t look back and continued standing before the slate, placing his hand on it.
The test comnced.
Just as Ye Qiu had ntioned nearly two hundred kinds of Spiritual dicines, Situ Rong suddenly rushed at Wang Luoxing, shouting, “Wang Luoxing, as they say, two tigers can’t share a mountain. We belong to the Sky Star Sect as esteed talents, and I want to challenge your top position now.”
Wang Luoxing snorted and replied, accepting Situ Rong’s challenge.
Dueling at this mont to determine superiority?
Anyone could see the peculiarity, and soon, amidst their fight, the released energies frequently veered toward Ye Qiu.
As another force was about to hit Ye Qiu, suddenly a figure blocked and shattered the attack.
Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong persisted in feigning combat, redirecting attacks toward Ye Qiu again.
This ti, four shadows intervened, blocking the attack.
Hua Wuhun and Li Hanbing watched, stunned as a cat and four dogs fended off the two Void Break experts’ strikes.
Realizing their attempts to disrupt Ye Qiu had failed, Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong halted the charade, frowning at the cat and four dogs, surprised that what seed like Ye Qiu’s pets displayed such strength.
“Are they ancient beasts?” Seeing their plan to thwart Ye Qiu grow unfeasible, the pair acknowledged the formidable power of these five non-human entities.
