1455 Troubles From Jinzhanghan
“But it’s normal. It’s not the first time Great Wei has done this. Anyway, they’re always at the bottom.”
“I think they should be used to it by now.”
“That’s not necessarily true. This time, the people of Great Wei aren’t convinced. They keep saying that they have experts who have yet to arrive. Otherwise, they would have swept the compet.i.tion clean.”
“Hahahaha, this is really interesting. This is the freshest and most unpretentious bullsh*t I’ve heard today!”
“I think this is just Great Wei trying to save face.”
Many people were discussing this matter in the restaurant, and more and more people came to partic.i.p.ate. The previous matter had clearly caused quite a stir.
Most people were talking about this matter as if they were watching a joke. After all, no matter how they looked at it, it was an extremely emBaltzaa.s.sing matter for Great Wei.
“Great Wei lost again?” Chu Yunfan sighed. No wonder Gongsun Wulong had come to him in such a humble manner.
It seemed that Great Wei had indeed been suppressed in this aspect and was at the bottom of the three kingdoms. The situation was probably even worse than what Gongsun Wulong had mentioned. Not only was Great Wei crushed in terms of the number of alchemy experts, but even in terms of the cultivation of the younger generation, they were completely crushed.
In Jinzhanghan, there was a 40-year-old who had pa.s.sed the alchemy expert a.s.sessment. Although this age was already very old in Chu Yunfan’s eyes, compared to the hundreds of years of life that an alchemy expert could have, it was at most equivalent to the age of an ordinary person in his early twenties.
The fellow was indeed quite talented.
Jiang Lan’er and Bai Shengzu whom Chu Yunfan had met were far inferior to this guy. They probably couldn’t even touch the fringes of becoming a senior alchemist, let alone become an alchemy expert.
If not for such a genius, perhaps there would not be such an obvious gap, but Jinzhanghan had such an alchemy expert, leading to an all-around suppression.
“Interesting.” The corner of Chu Yunfan’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t take it to heart. These so-called geniuses might be able to dominate in front of ordinary people, but in front of him, they were nothing.
In Great Wei, whenever Chu Yunfan was mentioned, he would definitely be the number one expert in the world. However, no one knew that his attainments in alchemy surpa.s.sed his achievements in martial arts.
Chu Yunfan slowly finished his meal, then ambled downstairs and headed toward Great Wei’s representative station. Since he was already here, he had to report himself. But when he arrived at the station, he realized that it was surrounded by many people.
Chu Yunfan rode his horse all the way there. There was a sea of people in front of him, but whenever they were about to touch him, they subconsciously moved aside.
In just a moment, Chu Yunfan arrived at the front of the crowd. Among the group, only he was riding a tall horse. However, no one found this strange and completely ignored his existence.
In front of Chu Yunfan, there were two groups of people confronting each other. One of them was wearing clothes of a foreign style. It was obvious that they were from Jinzhanghan. The other side consisted of young men and women wearing the uniforms of Great Wei’s Alchemist a.s.sociation.
The two people in the lead were Chu Yunfan’s old acquaintances. They were Great Wei’s famous alchemy geniuses—Jiang Lan’er and Bai Shengzu.
But at this moment, they were glaring at the Jinzhanghan’s people across from them.
The leader of Jinzhanghan was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes.
“Are all the juniors of the Wei Kingdom so ill-mannered? We sold you medicinal herbs with good intentions, but you injured our people in return,” the middle-aged man said aggressively.
“Do not slander me, Baltza!” Jiang Lan’er’s face flushed red with anger.
“If you hadn’t used the fake Rising Sun Gra.s.s to trick us, causing us to fail in our pill concoction, and if I hadn’t come to reason with you, you wouldn’t be so angry that you’d attack me!” Bai Shengzu also sounded furious, his eyes burning with rage.
“Nonsense! The people of Jinzhanghan always keep our promises!” Baltza, the middle-aged man from Jinzhanghan, immediately denied, “It’s clear that you don’t know what’s good for you. It’s none of our business that you failed to make your pill. If you don’t believe me, take out the Rising Sun Gra.s.s you bought. There are many experts here. Let’s see if it’s real or fake.”
Baltza was quite confident and was not afraid of Jiang Lan’er taking out the Rising Sun Gra.s.s.
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood. When they saw Jiang Lan’er’s angry face and Baltza’s confident look, they thought of the grudges between the two kingdoms. Some people already seemed to understand.
These people were not fools. They could naturally see that Jiang Lan’er had suffered a great loss. Although they did not know how Jinzhanghan had done it, they were confident that they could do it.
Many people looked at Jiang Lan’er sympathetically.
“What’s wrong? You don’t dare to do it?” Baltza sneered at Jiang Lan’er.
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
Jiang Lan’er couldn’t be provoked. She grabbed at the air and produced a wooden box from her private s.p.a.ce. Then, she opened it. There was a flame-like herb in the box, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
“What do you think? Everyone present is an expert, correct? Is this the Rising Sun Gra.s.s?” Baltza looked at Jiang Lan’er proudly.
Jiang Lan’er’s expression was extremely ugly, and so was Bai Shengzu’s. They knew that they had been tricked, but they didn’t know how.
Those who could partic.i.p.ate in this meeting, even if they weren’t alchemists, were at least people who had a deep understanding of alchemy. How could they not recognize the famous Rising Sun Gra.s.s?
This was a herb that grew in extremely hot environments. Its body was like a flame, and it was an extremely good medicinal herb for refining fire attribute pills. It was the main ingredient for many types of pills.
They couldn’t see any difference, but from the looks of both sides, they knew that Jiang Lan’er had been tricked, but they didn’t know how Baltza had pulled it off.
“You have nothing to say, right? Since you have nothing to say, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Baltza said coldly, “I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders.”
“What are you thinking of?” Bai Shengzu said angrily.
“It’s simple. I don’t want your lives though you’ve hurt the people of Jinzhanghan. I only want to cripple your martial arts and punish you severely,” Baltza spat out coldly.
