Utterly Unconcerned
"May I have the opportunity to take a closer look at the Spirit Vein Vine of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect?"
"Don't worry, everyone's watching. I won't do anything."
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect spoke with disdain.
Even if you had the guts, you wouldn't dare.
"If you're willing to look, then look at it carefully."
"Don't accuse me of trying to pass off something as real; I have no interest in that."
"Oh."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit Vein Vine flew to Su Zhan's front.
However, they didn't get particularly close, which shows that although the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect said he didn't care, he was actually quite worried. Fortunately, at this distance, Su Zhan could see them very clearly.
After a while, Su Zhan smiled.
"This Spirit Vein Vine is truly unusual; it's actually broken."
"I've really learned something new. The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect actually used a broken spirit medicine to compete with everyone. Did he think that no one had the discernment to see it?"
Upon hearing this, the Cultivator were immediately taken aback.
"Broken?"
Where?
"I didn't notice?"
"It's clearly complete."
The Cultivator all spoke up in confusion.
They weren't arguing with Su Zhan; they genuinely didn't realize it.
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect was very surprised, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface.
"That's right, what's there to cut off? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"It's clearly complete; are you trying to mislead your fellow researchers?"
That's too naive; you won't have that chance.
"Everyone can see it clearly; there's no need for you to spout nonsense."
As he spoke, the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect waved his hand, and the Spirit Vein Vine returned to his presence.
Su Zhan's smile widened upon seeing this.
Sure enough, he was right.
Actually, I wasn't very confident beforehand, but the other person's reaction clearly proved that what he said was correct.
Whether I'm lying or not, everyone can see for themselves.
"The Spirit Vein Vine is a very special and precious thing, but also very fragile."
"Breakage is very common, which is one of the reasons why it's rare to see an old Spirit Vein Vine. If it breaks, it quickly loses its vitality unless it's repaired with other spirit medicine and continuously nourished. In this way, it can continue to grow, even reaching 400,000 years. In just another 100,000 years, it can truly repair itself. Right now, it's still repaired by humans."
"Even if a severed Spirit Vein Vine were reattached, it would be worthless. It possesses no medicinal properties whatsoever. Even if it remains precious, in reality, if it isn't properly preserved for the next 100,000 years, it would be useless, just a piece of trash."
"Even if such spirit medicine can participate in the Medicine King Grand Gathering, it still can't compare to other rare and valuable spirit medicine. What do you all think?"
Many Cultivator stood up to agree.
That's true.
"I've heard of that too."
"I've read it in a book."
"Me too. Although not many people know this, many experts in Dao of Alchemy have heard of it."
How can I tell if it's broken?
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect was already somewhat flustered.
He didn't expect Su Zhan to see through him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep it, otherwise wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting it?
"Do you really believe in Su Zhan? I am the complete one."
"If you blindly trust Su Zhan, then forget it, I'll just leave. I don't want to participate in this Medicine King Grand Gathering."
After saying that, the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect wanted to take back the Spirit Vein Vine, since he had found an excuse.
"If Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect puts it away now, that means you're admitting it. Don't make excuses like 'no one believes you,' you're just scared."
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect nearly died of anger.
Why do Su Zhan's words always cut so hard?
If he could, he would truly wish he had never come to the Silent Sect.
