Seeing Lu Dongce's faint smile, Ning Cheng knew that the other party definitely knew what divine grass it was.
None of the people sitting here had simple experience. Looking at Ning Cheng's expression, many people guessed that Ning Cheng most likely didn't recognise this divine grass.
Even the purple-robed man who presided over the competition secretly shook his head. Sure enough, this fellow was an arrogant fellow. From this, it could be seen that Ning Cheng's previous statement about refining the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill should also be false. The divine grass he took out was indeed extremely rare, but no matter how rare it was, this first one was also the simplest one. If one couldn't even recognise the first one, then there would be no need to compete at all.
"Senior Kong, I wonder if there's a time limit for identifying divine grasses? Or would whoever identifies it first win? "Ning Cheng didn't engrave anything on the jade strip but asked about the rules of the competition.
The purple-robed man found it a little funny. If you can't recognise a divine grass, then even if you were given a hundred days, you still wouldn't be able to. Unless you deduced all the effects of this divine grass, but what's the use of deducing it? You still don't know what kind of divine grass this is.
After Ning Cheng asked this question, the contemptuous and disdainful gazes in the hall grew even more. Jing Han, who stood behind Situ Chen's Qiu Tian, felt secretly happy. Ning Cheng had caused a crack in his Dao of Alchemy. Now that Ning Cheng was beaten to the ground, how could he not feel happy?
The purple-robed man showed a slight smile, "In theory, there is no time limit for identifying divine grasses, and the time taken to identify them doesn't determine the winner or loser. But how many years would it take to identify a divine grass? Therefore, we set a time limit of two hours for each divine grass. As long as we can identify it within two hours, we will have the same result. What does Dao Friend Ning and Association Master Lu think? "
The purple-robed man's words still made sense. If one couldn't identify a divine grass within two hours, then there would be no point in dragging it out.
"Of course, I don't have any objections. What's wrong with letting him identify it for a year?" Lu Dongce didn't even glance at Ning Cheng and spoke up coldly.
Before the competition, he still regarded Ning Cheng as a character. But now, Ning Cheng was nothing in his eyes.
"I don't have any objections, I just hope that Senior Kong can take out all the divine grasses we identified, two of each kind, I will identify mine, he will identify his. After we identify it in one go, we can carve the jade strip for Senior Kong, how about it? "Ning Cheng put forward another suggestion.
He had no choice. Who asked him to be weaker than the other party? He could only play some tricks.
The purple-robed man chuckled and didn't speak even half a word of nonsense. He raised his hand and took out ten stalks of divine grasses before sending them to Ning Cheng and Lu Dongce, five stalks each. The five kinds of divine grasses in front of Ning Cheng were exactly the same as the five kinds of divine grasses in front of Lu Dongce. There was no issue of difficulty.
Seeing Lu Dongce take out a blank jade strip, Ning Cheng felt somewhat helpless. He could use the ingredients and effects of the divine herbs to argue that he didn't lose. However, the eyes of the people in the hall were as sharp as snow. Lu Dongce had already written down the five types of divine grasses, but he was still deducing them. Even if it was a tie through sophistry, it would be even more embarrassing.
At this time, Ning Cheng could only take out a blank jade strip and casually engrave a few names on it. When he saw Lu Dongce put down the jade strip, he quickly rushed forward and said, "Senior Kong, I've finished the identification."
Ning Cheng's words felt like a bomb dropped in the middle of the hall, surprising everyone. Ning Cheng's previous performance showed that Ning Cheng's knowledge was poor, which meant that it was almost impossible for him to recognise all five divine grasses. Otherwise, Ning Cheng wouldn't have asked about the time limit.
What was going on now? Why hadn't Lu Dongce said anything yet? Did he finish identifying them? Wasn't this too outrageous?
Did Ning Cheng ask about the time limit because he feared that Lu Dongce would deliberately find an excuse to stall for time? Or did he want to stall for time?
Lu Dongce also looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. This wasn't right. He believed that his Alchemy Dao level was among the best even in the entire Grand Change Realm. Not to mention that Ning Cheng's Alchemy Dao level wasn't as good as his, even if Ning Cheng's Alchemy Dao level could match his, Ning Cheng's ability to identify divine grasses wouldn't be as good as his.
But the fact was that Ning Cheng had recognised these five divine grasses before him.
The purple-robed man also looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. Did he make a mistake just now? Ning Cheng truly was a top-notch Alchemy Dao powerhouse. One had to know that the divine grasses he took out were extremely rare divine grasses with lost inheritances. He was the one who presided over the Pill Meet. When it came to his Alchemy Dao level, he might not be as good as some people here. But when it came to divine grasses with lost inheritances, he naturally knew more about them than others.
It was because they studied these things every day. If it weren't for Lu Dongce's Universe Plants, he wouldn't have known more than him.
"I've also finished identifying them." Lu Dongce's tone no longer contained the previous disdain. This time, it carried a hint of caution.
The purple-robed man suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Lu Dongce before saying, "You've finished identifying them. Now, tell me, what's the name of this divine grass?"
After speaking, the purple-robed man took out another divine grass. This divine grass was half a foot long and had two narrow leaves. It was grey in colour. Ning Cheng and Lu Dongce both had the same divine grass in front of them.
He didn't ask Ning Cheng and Lu Dongce to hand over the jade strips in their hands to him. This not only showed that this was an easy match, but also showed that he trusted both of them. However, such a casual move made Ning Cheng feel even more at ease.
Ning Cheng originally felt that if both of them recognised the divine grasses and ended in a tie in the first round, there would definitely be a second round. Because of this idea, Ning Cheng took the risk and wanted to drag the fight to the second round.
The first round was about identifying divine grasses, and the second round definitely wouldn't be about identifying divine grasses. Now that the purple-robed man didn't take away their jade strips, it meant that the second round was inevitable. Moreover, it also had something to do with the five divine grasses in the first round. Otherwise, this man surnamed Kong would have already taken away the jade strips.
"This is the Heavenly Fox Double Leaf Scale." Lu Dongce said with a calm voice.
Some Pill Saints who also recognised this divine grass nodded secretly. Lu Dongce indeed lived up to his reputation. They only knew about the Heavenly Fox Double Leaf Scale by chance. Moreover, no matter how rare a divine grass was, it couldn't escape Lu Dongce's eyes.
Everyone looked at Ning Cheng. Even if Ning Cheng didn't recognise the Heavenly Fox Double Leaf Scale, he didn't dare to change the contents of the jade strip just because Lu Dongce recognised it. With so many experts here, any change in the jade strip's contents would be immediately detected.
The purple-robed man also looked at Ning Cheng, "Dao Friend Ning, what do you think this divine grass is called?"
"It's called Green Foxtail Grass." Ning Cheng replied calmly.
As soon as the words' Green Foxtail Grass' came out, everyone froze. Wasn't this a bit too shameless? If they couldn't recognise it, then they couldn't recognise it. Was there a need to be so shameless?
Even Jing Han, who had a grudge against Ning Cheng, felt ashamed. Who told him and Ning Cheng to come from the Grand Essence Realm? Only Si Chen Qiu Tian remained calm on the surface. He understood Ning Cheng. Since he said that, then there must be an explanation.
"Haha, do you still have any shame? Brother Kong, for such a shameless person to appear here is an insult to the entire Alchemy Dao. "Che Beiji stood up, the anger on her face almost burning Ning Cheng. Previously, when she heard that Ning Cheng had refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, she felt a little afraid of Ning Cheng. But now she finally understood that Ning Cheng had deliberately come here to make trouble. To put it bluntly, he was a sore loser.
To be honest, she had cultivated for so many years, but she had never seen an alchemist as shameless as Ning Cheng.
The purple-robed man's face sank, and the murderous aura around him suddenly pressed down on Ning Cheng. Just because he was easy to talk to didn't mean that others could talk nonsense here. If Ning Cheng really fought with Lu Dongce, he wouldn't favour either side. But if he wanted to treat everyone as fools, then he had chosen the wrong place.
"Pill Master Ning, if you treat everyone as fools and dare to mess around here, don't blame me for being impolite. Even Si Chen Qiu Tian can't protect you. "As the purple-robed man spoke, his murderous aura started to condense.
"Haha, I've finally seen it." Lu Dongce laughed. He had thought that Ning Cheng was a great fellow, but it turned out that he relied on his thick skin.
Ning Cheng didn't feel surprised and spoke with a flat tone, "When my master taught me, it was called Foxtail Grass. Could it be that the same divine herb had to be called the same everywhere? I've heard that some places call Starry Sky Crystals as Immortal Crystals. Is that also wrong?
When my master taught me, he told me that all the Grand Daos under the heavens lead to the same destination. All the spirit techniques under the heavens lead to the same destination. Yet, for you to get angry over a mere name, could it be that Senior Kong still hasn't understood it? "
Everyone knew that Ning Cheng was talking nonsense, but after hearing it, they couldn't refute it. The cultivation realms of the Grand Essence Realm and the Grand Beginning Realm were very different from the Grand Beginning Realm and the Grand Change Realm. But as Ning Cheng said, all the Grand Daos under the heavens lead to the same destination. Just like Immortal Crystals and Starry Sky Crystals were the same thing, but they had different names in the two positional planes. Who among the people who came here didn't understand this truth?
Ning Cheng's words weren't all nonsense. Although he said that Foxtail Grass was indeed nonsense, the latter part was his own understanding of the Grand Dao. The Grand Daos under the heavens, as he said, no matter how many branches there were, no matter how many methods there were, they all pursued only one goal.
The anger on the purple-robed man's face slowly disappeared, and the entire hall turned silent. Che Beiji, who wanted to stand up and scold Ning Cheng again, also stopped his movements.
"Your master is an amazing person, and Dao Friend Ning's words are also correct. All the Grand Daos under the heavens lead to the same destination. Foxtail Grass and Heavenly Fox Double Leaf Scales only have different names, but their effects are the same. Now, Pill Sage Ning, please tell me the name of this second divine grass. "While speaking, the purple-robed man took out another divine grass.
This divine grass was actually a green vine, and the leaves on the vine looked like claws. These claws had many leaves and formed a wave.
"This is a Chicken Claw Vine." Ning Cheng still spoke calmly.
