The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron C.354 - : Too Easy

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Too Easy

At the sound of Fang Lin’s voice, everyone turned to look at him with faces filled with shock and surprise.

No one expected Fang Lin to respond, let alone refute the answers of Zhao Shenkong and Guo Zhen right off the bat.

However, the grey-robed elder revealed a flash of astonishment that was almost imperceptible when he heard Snow Lotus with Pair Flower.

The face of Guo Zhen darkened as he coldly stared at Fang Lin, “Nothing but nonsense.”

Zhao Shenkong wore a faint smile. Even though he did not speak, his face was filled with contempt and disdain for Fang Lin.

“What’s a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower? What is he talking about?”

“I don’t know, perhaps he’s just trying to draw attention.”

“Haha, this Fang Lin is really interesting.”

People were buzzing, all dismissing Fang Lin’s answer. In their view, the responses given by Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong were far more plausible.

“Fang Lin, if you want to make a fool of yourself, don’t drag us all down with you.” Li Feng sneered.

Fang Lin shot him a glance and ignored him with a snort.

The grey-robed elder finally spoke, looking at Fang Lin and asking, “Why do you say it’s a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower?”

Fang Lin stood up, very casually saying, “The Snow Lotus with Pair Flower has two blossoms, the larger one has eighty-one petals, the smaller one has thirty-six petals. The connecting root of the two is gone, but judging from the density of the blossoms, it is growing towards the other Snow Lotus, closely paired together. Moreover, at the bottom of this Snow Lotus, there should be a hard core, which is the essence of the Snow Lotus with Pair Flower and its value is ten times more than the Snow Lotus itself.”

With an eloquent explanation, everyone listened dumbfoundedly. It sounded quite reasonable. Could it be that Fang Lin was not spouting nonsense?

“Good!”

After Fang Lin finished speaking, the grey-robed elder immediately applauded, his face full of admiration and appreciation.

Hearing this grey-robed elder applauding for Fang Lin, the faces of Zhao Shenkong and Guo Zhen suddenly changed. The crowd was even more wide-eyed, looking at Fang Lin in disbelief.

“I didn’t expect anyone to be able to identify this as a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower. I’m truly surprised, you’re absolutely correct, it is indeed a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower.” the grey-robed elder said.

At these words, the faces of Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong turned sour, and they sat there sullenly.

The people of Yun Country and Meng Kingdom that were previously enthusiastic suddenly fell silent.

On the contrary, the few people from Qian Country showed a look of joy.

Fang Lin had answered correctly, all at once, and completely refuted the answers of Zhao Shenkong and Guo Zhen.

What did this amount to?

It was as if Fang Lin, at the peak moment of Zhao Shenkong and Guo Zhen’s momentum, suddenly sprang out and unceremoniously slapped them across the face.

And this slap was not an unreasonable one. It was a very legitimate and reasonable slap, leaving no room for Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong to dodge.

But why? Why was Fang Lin able to answer correctly at once?

“Senior, is this really a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower?” Zhao Shenkong, somewhat in disbelief, asked with a frown.

The grey-robed elder nodded, saying, “This is indeed a Snow Lotus with Pair Flower, with one large and one small blossom. I deliberately took only the larger one to test you.”

Upon hearing this, even with his excellent composure, Zhao Shenkong could not help but twitch, his facial expression turning dark as he sat back down.

“Okay, the next herb is the final one you have to identify. However, I guess no one among you will be able to recognize it.” Said the grey-robed elder, taking something out from his Nine Palace Bag.

However, when everyone saw the item, their expressions were particularly intriguing.

“Cough cough, elder, you must have taken the wrong item.” Someone reminded in a low voice.

The elder was startled and glanced up to see his trousers had slipped down. He promptly secured them, causing a fit of thunderous laughter to erupt from the crowd.

“This old geezer, always making a spectacle of himself.” Zhuge Cang muttered discontentedly.

Trying to regain his composure, the grey-robed elder coughed twice and then took out another item.

At this moment, nobody laughed again. All attention was focused on the medicine in his hand.

This item looked like an ordinary mushroom, extremely ordinary with no signs of any distinctive features.

Everyone frowned upon seeing it, they had no idea what it was.

Even Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong squinted their eyes trying to discern what it was.

After staring for a moment, Su Xiaotong murmured, “Isn’t this just a regular mushroom?”

In fact, not just her, but Li Jianlong, Li Feng and the other people from Qian Country, were incapable of identifying it.

The same was true for Yun Country and Meng Kingdom. Everyone sat silently in contemplation without anyone being able to give an answer.

“Hehe, this old man even brought out that thing. I fear nobody here can answer this time.” Zhuge Cang was laughing in the distance.

“Indeed, it’s too hard.” Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

Elder Su, the elderly man surnamed Yan, and Old Woman Gu were all fairly dissatisfied. Even they themselves had to look at it for a while to know what that mushroom was. Asking the younger generation to identify it, was making things too difficult for them.

For a long time, nobody spoke.

It was not that nobody wanted to answer, but they simply did not have the certainty; this thing clearly just looked like an ordinary mushroom, could they say that it’s just a mushroom?

The grey-robed elder wore an excited expression, seeming to be thrilled by the fact that he had stumped these young talents.

As his gaze swept around, he suddenly noticed a person from Qian Country, calmly showing an unconcerned expression.

This person was Fang Lin, the one who had just identified the Snow Lotus with Pair Flower.

While everyone was deep in thought, he was the only one remaining relaxed, standing out from the crowd.

The grey-robed elder felt provoked. Did this youngster know the answer or what?

He immediately pointed at Fang Lin and asked impolitely, “Hey, you. Judging by your appearance, do you know what this is? Why don’t you tell us all?”

Fang Lin was taken aback, wondering why he had been singled out.

The others all turned to look at Fang Lin. Some showed an amused expression, ready to watch the show, while some seemed to harbor a faint sense of expectation. After all, Fang Lin had correctly answered the last question about the Snow Lotus with Pair Flower, perhaps he could also answer correctly this time.

Zhao Shenkong wore a look of disdain, he absolutely did not believe that Fang Lin could answer correctly.

Guo Zhen remained aloof and did not express his disbelief.

On the other hand, Su Xiaotong showed a look of surprise and anticipation.

Fang Lin stood up reluctantly, “Senior, your question is too simple. Could you ask a more difficult one?”

As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent, then erupted into an uproar.
