In the stone room, 43 wondrous herbs flickered with flowing lights and overflowing colors, gorgeous like rainbows.
Out of them, 30 were of the first realm and the remaining 13 were miraculous medicines. Every single one of them was extremely rare. Even if one searched through all the ancient books, one might not be able to find any information about them.
Therefore, Cao Feng couldn't recognize a single one of them. It wasn't that his knowledge was too shallow. After all, he was the descendant of the Cao Clan and naturally had some knowledge. Or else he wouldn't have been able to stand out from the other geniuses of the Cao Clan.
The reason why he couldn't recognize them was because these spiritual medicines were far too rare. Even if an alchemist were to come, they might not be able to recognize all of them.
Yet Ling Xian was able to recite all 43 of them as if they were his family treasures. He even listed out the most difficult year. How unbelievable was this?!
This was obvious from Xiao Cui's stunned expression. She didn't know the names of these spiritual medicines, but her mistress did. Therefore, she was certain that Ling Xian didn't make a single mistake!
Because of this, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
She knew very well just how rare these 43 spiritual medicines were. Even if an alchemist were to come, they might not be able to recognize all of them.
Yet at this moment, Ling Xian was listing out all of their information. This was heaven-defying!
What could he do? He had the Essence of Herbalism, the encyclopedia of spiritual medicine. As long as he had the Essence of Herbalism, he would know every single spiritual medicine in the world like the back of his hand!
Don't forget, he even recognized the Devious Burial Flower that only appeared a few times in history. What kind of spiritual medicine could stop him?
Though these 43 spiritual medicines were extremely rare, to Ling Xian, they were not a big deal!
"Miss, I wonder if I am correct about these 43 spiritual medicines?" Ling Xian grinned and looked at Xiao Cui, who was staring at him with her mouth wide open.
However, he didn't hear Xiao Cui's answer.
Because this woman, who was full of energy, was completely stunned. Only after a long while did she regain herself. Then, he stared at Ling Xian like he was looking at a monster and sighed, "Yes, all correct. Not a single thing was wrong. Not a single word was wrong."
"Good." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile and shifted his gaze towards Cao Feng.
Instantly, the man's face turned even paler. It was as if he had lost his soul, and he kept muttering words like "impossible".
Obviously, he could not accept this cruel reality.
This was normal. As an outstanding descendant of the Cao Clan, he had come into contact with all kinds of spirit herbs since he was young. The number of spirit herbs he knew numbered in the tens of thousands. Therefore, he had an arrogant personality since he was young. Especially in the field of alchemy, he firmly believed that he wasn't weaker than anyone!
Yet before his eyes, against someone as unknown as Ling Xian, he was utterly defeated. How could someone as proud as him accept this?
Cao Feng shouted and gritted his teeth, "This is impossible. You must have teamed up with this ugly woman to trick me!"
"Deceive you?"
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold, "A loss is a loss. You are an outstanding descendant of the Cao Clan. Do you not even have this much poise?"
When the words "outstanding descendant" entered his ears, Cao Feng felt his face burning. It was as if he had been slapped in the face a few dozen times. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.
In the past, he had always felt that these words were his greatest honor. But now, he suddenly felt like those words had turned into humiliation. A giant humiliation!
"Stop talking bullsh * t. You must have teamed up to trick me. These spiritual medicines are extremely rare and even I don't recognize them. How could you recognize them?" Cao Feng's face twisted as he stared at Ling Xian with hatred.
"Idiot."
Ling Xian glared at him, "This world is very, very big. Unless you ascend, nobody dares to call themselves undefeatable. Alchemy is the same. Before you become a grandmaster, you should never be too arrogant. "
"Fella, I want you dead!"
Cao Feng's expression was ferocious. Humiliation and jealousy turned into anger that clouded his mind. Therefore, he summoned his Qi and slammed his palm towards Ling Xian!
This slap was heavy and overbearing. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Ling Xian!
Immediately, Xiao Cui's expression changed and she couldn't help but scream, "Watch out!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian's expression remained calm and unfazed. This slap appeared powerful, but Cao Feng was merely at the peak of the foundational level. How could it pose a threat to him?
He merely fluttered his sleeve and Cao Feng was knocked out.
HOMMMM!
After a loud rumble, Cao Feng was slammed into the wall of the stone room and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Completion leveled powerhouse?!"
The same statement came out of their mouths.
Xiao Cui's eyes widened. She didn't think this clean and skinny young man would be a powerful completion leveled cultivator.
Cao Feng's expression was sluggish as well. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of awe. It had reached a point of no return.
"How disappointing. The famous Cao Clan in Yuezhou has produced such a useless descendant."
Ling Xian shook his head and said softly, "You lose and you say others conspired against you. Now you attack me. You are the best descendant of the Cao Clan, are you all sore losers? You are a disgrace to the Cao Clan. "
"Dammit!"
Cao Feng cursed under his breath and no longer dared to be arrogant. After that attack, he knew that he cannot offend the person before him. At least not now.
Just like that, he gradually regained his sanity, and he finally recognized one thing.
That meant he had lost. Whether it was the competition of the forty-three types of elixirs or the competition of his own strength, he had completely lost.
This made him bitter. The arrogance and confidence he had cultivated since he was young had completely crumbled.
"Even the grandmaster of alchemy has trouble recognizing all 43 spiritual medicines. How could he recognize all of them? How insane. Plus, someone as insane as him with alchemy is also a completion leveled powerhouse. "Cao Feng lost his soul and was hit by Ling Xian to a point where there were no wounds on his body.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that he was too weak, it was that his opponent was too strong!
"Have you regained your rationality?" Ling Xian spoke softly, "I don't want to kill you. Get out of my sight."
Hearing this, Cao Feng struggled to crawl up from the ground and stared at Ling Xian.
That stare contained far too many emotions. There was shock, fear, jealousy, and hatred.
Then, he turned around and left without hesitation. Because he knew very well that if he didn't leave now, he would never get the chance to leave this place again.
Seeing that this person was smart enough to leave, Ling Xian grinned and shifted his gaze towards Xiao Cui, who was still in a state of shock, "I have passed the first test, don't you think so?"
