Chapter 270: A Surprising Move

Just as a smile appeared on Jiang Yun’s face, the first kind of medicine he had been holding in his hand finally disappeared.

And the next moment, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his hands and gently brushed toward the nearly one thousand kinds of herbs around him.

Jiang Yun’s movements were very gentle and not fast, so everyone could see clearly.

His slender fingers, like caressing a lover’s face, lightly glided over the herbs around him, as if touching them one by one.

However, an amazing scene appeared!

Every herb touched by Jiang Yun’s finger, disappeared immediately when his finger moved away.

At first, they disappeared one by one, but as Jiang Yun’s hands continued to pass over—

The herbs began to disappear in large patches.

A small path quickly appeared!

After Jiang Yun’s hands had passed over all the herbs he could touch, he stood up.

Looking at the complete winding path in front of him, he stepped onto it and walked out of the Thousand Medicine Formation, calmly and slowly, attracting everyone’s attention.

As Jiang Yun’s figure appeared outside the formation, all the burning incense went out at once!

Time’s up!

The first round of the competition is over!

Normally, at this point, Elder Han, who is the host of the big competition, should announce the results of this first round of the competition.

However, at this moment, the entire Grand Medicine Sect fell silent.

No one spoke, not even a person breathed.

Everyone’s eyes were still focused on Jiang Yun.

Setting aside everything Jiang Yun did before, if we only look at his performance in passing the first round.

Even though he was the last one to break through, he truly deserves first place!

This is because he spent nine-tenths of the time daydreaming and only one-tenth of the time actually breaking through!

And among all those who broke through before him, even the fastest Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng were nearly five times slower than him!

Even the pharmacists who had personally tested the Thousand Medicine Formation took about three times longer than Jiang Yun.

Compared to Jiang Yun, the so-called medicine prodigy was just a joke!

How could anyone from the Grand Medicine Sect believe or accept such a result!

However, only Xiao Zheng’s face gradually showed a smile.

While he was shocked by Jiang Yun’s performance, it wasn’t unexpected.

This only proved that his opinion of Jiang Yun was completely correct.

Still waters run deep, and a sudden move will surely be amazing!

"Did he cheat?"

Just then, a sudden voice broke the silence in the Grand Medicine Sect, bringing everyone back to reality from their shock.

The person speaking is Li Changlin, and he looks very angry right now.

Many people showed a surprised expression when they heard what he said, nodding quickly to show they agreed.

For most of the time, nothing happened, but in the last moment, it was like magic, and Thousand Medicine Formation was broken almost instantly.

This unusual behavior seems like cheating is the only explanation.

"Yes, he must be cheating!"

"Even if he knows a hundred kinds of herbs and can identify each one, it’s impossible to write down the names and characteristics of each herb using spirit qi in just a very short time!"

"That’s right! I suspect that he already wrote down all the names and characteristics of the thousand herbs around him, so all he needs to do is touch them with spirit qi to make them disappear instantly."

Doubts and bold guesses were continuously heard from many disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect.

With Elder Han’s intentional guidance, all these voices, word for word, entered Jiang Yun’s ears inside the Land of Inheritance.

However, Jiang Yun remained silent and didn’t defend himself. He stood there calmly, like these people said, as if it wasn’t him at all.

Until Elder Han also stepped into the Land of Inheritance and appeared directly in front of him, staring coldly at him, saying, "Jiang Yun, I think you should give us an explanation!"

Upon hearing Elder Han’s words, Jiang Yun slowly raised his head, looked at Elder Han, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Elder Han immediately looked angry and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yun slowly stopped laughing, pointed to the ground beneath his feet, and asked, "Elder Han, may I ask where we are?"

Elder Han frowned and said, "Nonsense, this is the Land of Inheritance of my Grand Medicine Sect!"

"How did I get in here?"

"I gave you the teleportation array stone!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I am a disciple of the Seeking-Tao Sect. Three days ago, I came to your Grand Medicine Sect seeking medicine. I was told to participate in the Drug Competition of your Grand Medicine Sect. Now, with the teleportation array stone handed to me by Elder Han, I am in the Land of Inheritance in your Grand Medicine Sect, where I completed the first round of the competition."

"Now, you all accuse me of cheating? Is this ridiculous or not?"

The repeated mention of "your Grand Medicine Sect" felt like three loud slaps landing on the faces of everyone who doubted Jiang Yun from the Grand Medicine Sect, making them feel a burning sensation.

Yes, this is the Grand Medicine Sect!

Jiang Yun, an outer sect disciple, just arrived at the Grand Medicine Sect three days ago to participate in the Drug Competition. This was his very first time here. Even if he wanted to cheat, how could he do it and who would help him cheat?

Clearly, Jiang Yun was implying that it was the Grand Medicine Sect itself that lacked skills and didn’t want to admit defeat. Instead, they accused him of cheating.

"Martial sister!"

At that moment, Yang Shizhong suddenly turned to look at Mei Bugu.

Though he only said "martial sister," the look of confusion intentionally shown on his face accurately reflected his thoughts.

This scene made many people suddenly realize again!

Who said no one could help Jiang Yun cheat?

As the sky pharmacist Mei Bugu, he can do it!

Jiang Yun, brought into the Grand Medicine Sect by Xiao Zheng, was saved by Mei Bugu, allowed to participate in the Drug Competition, so it was not impossible to help Jiang Yun cheat secretly during these three days.

Faced with Yang Shizhong’s questioning, a cold light flashed in Mei Bugu’s eyes, but he did not speak. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the air.

What he saw was the nine hundred medicinal materials left in the Thousand Medicine Formation where Jiang Yun was before, all flying up into the air, leaving the Land of Inheritance and appearing in the sky above Furnace Peak.

Then, Mei Bugu uttered a word, "Check!"

Obviously, Mei Bugu wanted to tell everyone the truth through action.

Naturally, no one dared to actually check those nine hundred medicinal materials, not even Yang Shizhong.

Since Mei Bugu dared to do it, it proved that he didn’t have any secrets. Among the nine hundred medicinal herbs, they must be completely empty.

"Let me check!"

A hoarse voice sounded, and a middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly walked out from the void, surprisingly the sect master of the Grand Medicine Sect.

With a gentle wave of her sleeve, the nine hundred medicinal herbs in the air immediately exploded all at once.

There was not a trace of spirit energy flying out.

This result naturally proves that Jiang Yun did not cheat either.

He really identified the hundreds of herbs within one-tenth of an incense stick’s time, successfully passing the first round of the test.

This result made all the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect even more unable to accept it.

At this moment, everyone had nothing to say.

However, Li Changlin looked around, clenched his teeth, and suddenly knelt down in front of the sect master, saying, "Master, I dare to ask, let Jiang Yun, in front of all of us, challenge the Thousand Medicine Formation again!"

"But this time, he must speak out loud for all of us to hear, the names and characteristics of the herbs he has identified!"
