"The Red Mistel Flowerherb belongs to Duan Li!" Ding Huiqing announced as excitement were apparent on her face.
Hearing this, the crowd broke out into discussion once more as some of them began to question the validity of Duan Li winning that herb.
"Huh? What happen to the rock-paper-scissor method? I thought they both gave her the same answer, how did he won then?"
"Beats me. I smell something suspicious going on here!"
"Yeah! Even though I don't know what the effects of that herb were, but for him to win like this, this is just unfair for the other person!"
Ding Huiqing knitted her brows when the crowd of students began to spoke out their opinions regarding this matter one after another.
"Quiet down! I chose Duan Li as a winner because he just told me about the third effect that this herb could produce. Thus naturally, he earned it rightfully!" she explained.
The other student that contested with Duan Li then spoke up, "If that is true, then indeed he should earned it. But this herb here only has two significant effects as far as I know. And this comes from my father being a 4 Star ranked Herbalism as well!" (AN: Changed from Herbalogist to Herbalism. Thanks to Jam28 from WN!)
Hearing this, Ding Huiqing nodded.
"Actually, that was supposed to be the case as well. So far, the herb was only documented to have two effects. But this student here, Duan Li, just told me about a third effect that was more significant than the previous two!" she replied.
Hearing this, the student sneered a little bit.
"I'm not trying to be rude, but its just that I am not convinced about this. How could another effect that was more significant than the other two went by unnoticed? Surely this should not be the case?"
The crowd nodded to his statement.
"If teacher could somehow explain this not just for me, but for the rest as well, then I would gladly back away and declare myself that he truly won this." the student said calmly as he seemed to have the entire situation controlled.
Ding Huiqing sighed. She was planning to not disclose any information for the third effect, but it seems that what the other party had just said makes sense as well.
Furthermore, it was reasonable that he demanded an explanation as to why he truly lost.
Thus, she turned to the other party and nodded once more.
"Very well!" she said as she whipped out a book from her spatial ring.
"This here is the Advanced Herbal Compendium book, and within it, on page 201, detailed out a description regarding the Red Mistel Flowerherb. This book is not available in the library so I will state out the effects for everyone here. Listen carefully!" she said as she began to list out the effects.
"Effects of the Red Mistel Flowerherb."
"One, if consumed directly, the person would be able to feel that their spiritual Qi were being purified. As a result, one might notice that their cycle speed would increase by several percent. In other words, eating this herb raw would cause one's own spiritual Qi efficiency to increase!"
"Second, if consumed directly, there is a very low chance for a person's potential to increase qualitatively!"
BOOM!
When the crowd heard that second effect, some began to breath in erratically as they looked at that red herb intently.
What sort of miracle that would be if they were able to increase their potential just by eating that herb?
One has to know that potential here refers to the grade of dantian that a person has. From the weakest potential are Red, followed by Orange. Then Yellow, Green, Blue and finally the strongest potential, White!
This was something that was decided upon one's birth. It was not to say that it cannot be upgraded at all, in fact, there were some that had managed to do it.
But out of 100 people that tried to, only perhaps one of them had truly succeeded!
Thus, it could be said that upgrading one's potential was something that was extremely difficult. If there were even a very low chance to be able to upgrade their potential like this Red Mistel Flowerherb here, who wouldn't want it?
Therefore, as the crowd turned more agitated, they immediately supported that other student that lost against Duan Li, just because they have lost the chance themselves from the start and were unwilling for Duan Li, the winner to get it.
"Settle down! If this makes everyone here agitated, then wait until you hear the third effect that Duan Li just told me!" Ding Huiqing harrumphed a little bit, confident that this third effect would have them even more excited!
"The third effect!"
The crowds sucked in breath as they waited anxiously.
What could be more significant than the effect of increasing one's potential?
"If used as an ingredient for concoction, one would be able to produce a Transforming Essence pill of grade 4!"
Hisss!
When the crowd heard the 'Transforming Essence pill' they immediately sucked in cold breath!
The Transforming Essence pill was a widely known pill that was just as heaven defying in its effects as increasing one's potential!
In fact, it was even better because it could induce numerous qualitative change inside one's body and battle prowess at a 100 percent chance, permanently at that!
The ones that were available on the market were grade 1 to 3 and they are very few in numbers that was up for sale. Furthermore, their price was astronomical. Even a grade 1 Transformation Essence pill was already 500 medium quality spirity stones!
Not to mention a grade 4 Transformation Essence pill, one could truly becomes rich overnight if they managed to produce even just a single of this pill!
At this moment, the crowd turned silent as they shifted themselves to neutral once more.
Seeing the tables had turned against him, the student that had lost was evidently displeased by this and quickly refuted.
This time, he would be more forceful in his approach!
"Hmph! A grade 4 Transformation Essence pill? Outlandish! No one in the whole Empire had managed to concoct it before, and you claimed to know of this effect?"
"This is as if you are claiming to be able to concoct a grade 4 Transformation Essence pill yourself, which also indirectly says that you are superior to even the great Royal Alchemist himself as he had never achieved such a feat despite being an 8 Star rank Alchemist!"
Hisss!
The crowd sucked in cold breath once more.
What vicious words! This fell has quite the sharp tongue!
"T-This.." Ding Huiqing was also taken aback by what this student just spouted out. She had not expected for the other party to be so daring so as to bring the great Royal Alchemist of the Jiu Empire into this debate!
Duan Li narrowed his eyes menacingly at this moment.
To think that this person in front of him would dare to accuse him so suddenly just because they lost?
He was usually an amiable person, but if someone annoyed and ruffle his feathers, much less accuse him without warrant such as this, he would not just sit idly by!
"Big words you spouted there. Your statement just now is the same as saying that you know personally, the full extent and capability of the great Royal Alchemist of the Jiu Empire and knows of every pill that he had ever produced."
"To even mention his 8 Star rank and said that he was unable to concoct a mere grade 4 pill, it seems that you are looking down on the great Royal Alchemist himself as someone incompetent and undeserving of his title! How dare you!"
Duan Li barked out.
Pu!
The student immediately choked himself and was about to deny this grave accusation of Duan Li when the latter swiftly interjected him before he could even open his mouth to defend himself and continued.
"Did you know that what you had just spouted out has just indirectly defamed our great Royal Alchemist?!"
Pu!
The student choked once more.
"In addition, the great Royal Alchemist is someone that was recognized and acknowledged by even the Emperor himself! To even say that the Royal Alchemist couldn't even concoct a mere grade 4 pills, are you saying that the Emperor was blind to give such a title to someone incompetent?!"
Duan Li inhaled a mouthful of air as the room became so silent that it rang in their ears.
The crowd was in a daze right now and couldn't process what was happening yet.
"That is committing treason!!!" Duan Li shouted out.
He finished his final sentence by shouting the word 'Treason' out loud so that it could be heard clearly by the whole crowd.
Pu!
Pu!
Pu!
The crowd could no longer hold out as sounds of intense choking began to resonate from them, as if in symphony with each other as they tried to swallow down their saliva, including Ding Huiqing and the refuted student himself!
Who would be able to thought that a mere debate between the two had just escalated to being one of them as someone committing an act of treason against the Emperor?
Doesn't that just made that person over there to be the enemy for the whole Jiu Empire here?
That was truly screwed up!
The crowd shuddered.
Brother! We thought that the other party was already being vicious enough by bringing the great Royal Alchemist into the subject of this debate!
Who would've thought that you had just upped the stakes even further and brought the Emperor himself into the debate soon after?!
If the other party were to refute you once more, would you bring the heavens into the debate as well?
This is one hell of a holy-moly situation right now!
The crowd shifted their gaze towards the other party to see how he would release himself from this heavy accusation.
But they soon shook their heads in disappointment when they saw the legs of the other party had wobbled like a jelly.
Seemed that the other party had truly lost this time around!
Hais!
"I... T-This is an accusation! I have never said such things!" he cried out, almost bawling himself to tears.
Seeing the situation to have escalated as such, Ding Huiqing immediately went in to salvage this chaotic scene.
"You brought this upon yourself. Next time, don't carelessly throw in big names just to protect and support yourself!" she reprimanded out to that student.
"Y-yes.. it was a mistake on my part.." the student apologized profusely.
This time, he no longer have the guts to take this matter further, afraid for his dear life to be snuffed up right under his nose in front of this savage fella!
Ding Huiqing then turned towards Duan Li as mixed emotions were running inside her.
She wanted to yell out loud that Duan Li was correct, but at the end of the day, she was still a teacher. Thus, she must be professional in resolving this situation and not take any sides.
"As for you Duan Li, even though you are just trying to teach him a lesson, don't just go bringing in the name of the Emperor himself." she quickly said, but her tone was softer.
Duan Li nodded and apologized.
Ding Huiqing sighed.
But when she thought about it, what the other party just said did makes sense. How did Duan Li was so sure that this Red Mistel Flowerherb could be used to concoct a grade 4 Transformation Essence pill?
But she did not want to fuel the debate further and was just about to wrap up everything and gifted Duan Li the herb, before the other party suddenly spoke out.
"I know that some still doubted my words, then let me prove it to everyone, I will concoct a grade 4 Transformation Essence pill right in front of everyone here using this Red Mistel Flowerherb!"
BOOM!
The crowd exploded out in chaos once more.
