Chapter 45

"Didn't... uh, cough, cough!" Old Yun casually waved his hand, suddenly realizing something was off, he abruptly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Han as if he were a monster, "I didn't hear wrong? You said you killed them?"

"Yes!" Jiang Han nodded frankly, with a serious expression, "If they provoke me, I will naturally retaliate. If I lose control for a moment, casualties are inevitable."

Old Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, patting Jiang Han's shoulder hard, "Good! You live up to my expectations, I like your character!"

"But, boy, let me tell you the truth." Old Yun suddenly stopped laughing, looking at Jiang Han with a smile, "With your current cultivation, which hasn't even reached the Warrior stage, it's a delusion to think you can kill any of them! Do you know that even their weakest member is several times stronger than you!"

Jiang Han pursed his lips, about to say something.

But Old Yun seemed to have read his mind and said directly, "Don't be so confident in your treasures. The resources of a Legendary Sect are beyond your imagination, and every disciple has their trump card!"

"Your treasures, though powerful, are not very useful against them. Remember, the disciples in our sect are all one-in-a-million geniuses!"

Jiang Han was taken aback, then suddenly realized that he was still too limited. So far, the Ghost Step, Laser Sword, and Mad Rhino Battle Armor had been absolutely overwhelming against others! This had inflated his confidence, making him lose his sense of proportion!

This was because the opponents he had faced were all ordinary warriors, with weak aptitudes and no deep background, giving Jiang Han a sense of superiority.

However, if he were to face the disciples of a Legendary Sect, his advantages would no longer be advantages!

Suddenly, a sense of relief rose in Jiang Han's heart, grateful that Old Yun had reminded him. Otherwise, with his thoughts, he might have met his end somewhere.

"That's right, there are countless geniuses in the world, and everyone has their opportunities. The disciples of Legendary Sects are even more privileged, with no weaklings among them." Jiang Han murmured to himself.

"But, I don't think I am weaker than them. Given time, they will become stepping stones on my path to growth!"

This was the truth, and Jiang Han did not lose heart.

He knew that the system was like a bug. If the Heavenly Martial Continent were a game, then Jiang Han would be playing with cheats!

What he needed to do was to maximize the use of these cheats!

"It's time to exchange for something better." Jiang Han thought to himself.

"That you can think this way, I am very pleased!" Old Yun nodded with a smile at Jiang Han's words, "If you were to become dejected because of my words, I would never take you as a disciple. Because you lack the qualifications to become a strong person, and I would not want such a disciple!"

"Ha ha, this can be considered your first test, the most basic test for you!"

Jiang Han was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Old Yun, you are indeed Old Yun. A commoner like me never even thought of this."

"Less flattery!" Old Yun laughed and scolded, then took out a flask of wine and took a sip, "This won't increase your chances of passing the test at all."

Jiang Han ignored this, knowing that flattery never fails, as evident from Old Yun's expression.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Old Yun's wine flask, and he smiled, "Old Yun, do you like drinking?"

"Of course I do! What, do you have good wine? Show me!" Old Yun laughed, waved his hand, and a chair appeared behind him. After sitting down, he continued, "Let me taste it and see if it can match my Jade Dew!"

"I don't know if it can match, but it's definitely good wine!" Jiang Han chuckled, turned his hand, and took out a bottle of thousand-year-old Maotai, handing it to Old Yun, "This is a thousand-year-old vintage, absolutely delicious!"

Old Yun's eyes lit up, reached for the bottle, then frowned, staring at it for a while before hesitantly asking, "This... what material is this flask made of?"

Jiang Han, hearing Old Yun's question, sighed inwardly.

Indeed, people at different levels see things from different perspectives.

Like Shadow Three before, he was only thinking about how to open the bottle, not about the material of the bottle. But Old Yun immediately focused on the material of the bottle, the difference was clear at a glance.

"I don't know." Jiang Han shook his head decisively, grinning slyly, "I got this from my master, and he never mentioned these details."

"Got? You mean stole!" Old Yun glanced at him, then frowned, looking at the bottle, "It looks crystal clear, like diamond jade. But its hardness is much lower... even extremely fragile! I've never seen such a strange material before, it seems your master is not simple at all!"

"I wonder who this reclusive expert is?" He murmured to himself.

Old Yun had met most of the top experts on the continent, but he had never heard of Jiang Han's master. It seemed he had appeared out of nowhere, which was puzzling.

"Could... he be from that place?" Old Yun pondered, thinking of a possibility but not daring to be sure.

He didn't ask Jiang Han again because he knew that if his master was from that place, Jiang Han wouldn't know.

"Old Yun?" Seeing Old Yun remain silent, Jiang Han called out softly.

"Hmm?" Old Yun came to his senses, looked at Jiang Han with a puzzled expression, then smiled, "Hmm, it's indeed good wine!"

"Cough... but you haven't even drunk it yet..." Jiang Han broke out in a cold sweat.

Old Yun's face turned red, he coughed, and said with a serious tone, "Even though I haven't opened it, the aroma is already refreshing. What's wrong with me saying it's good wine?"

"No, no!" Jiang Han shook his head vigorously, giving a thumbs up, "Old Yun's understanding of wine is far beyond me, I am utterly impressed! Why don't you take a few sips and then evaluate it?"

Old Yun nodded solemnly, "That's a reasonable point! Wine can only be truly judged by tasting it!"

As he spoke, Old Yun skillfully opened the bottle cap, leaving Jiang Han stunned.

Damn, how could he be so skilled? It looked like he had opened thousands of bottles before. Could Old Yun have seen this kind of bottle before? That doesn't make sense, given his earlier reaction, he clearly hadn't seen it before!

"Old Yun, do you know how to open the cap?" Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh? This thing is called a cap?" Old Yun looked at the object in his hand, nodded, and said, "The name fits. As for opening it, it's very simple! Is there a problem with that?"

"Uh, no, no..." Jiang Han shook his head, still stunned.

He couldn't figure out how Old Yun knew how to open the cap. This didn't make sense, it didn't fit the logic!

Seeing Jiang Han's dazed look, Old Yun felt a bit smug, thinking to himself, "Brat, trying to make me look foolish with this method, huh? You'll regret it later!"

In fact, Old Yun's cultivation was profound, and he could see the structure of the bottle at a glance. Opening it was simple and required no effort.

He slowly took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He waved his hand, and the nearby mountain of skeletons turned to nothing, making Jiang Han break out in a cold sweat, thinking, "Old Yun, please be more careful, I'm getting scared!"

"Ha ha ha, good wine, good wine!" Old Yun laughed, "No wonder it's a thousand-year-old vintage, the taste is much better than my Jade Dew!"

Jiang Han chuckled and took out another bottle of wine, but it was just a regular vintage. He took a sip, thinking, "What is your Jade Dew, how can it compare to mine... pfft!"

As he thought, Jiang Han casually glanced at the information about the Jade Dew, and immediately spat out all the wine he had just sipped, making Old Yun wince.

"Brat, such good wine, and you waste it like this! It's a waste of resources, unforgivable..."

Jiang Han was stunned, his mind still reeling from the information about the Jade Dew.

【Jade Dew】 (Spiritual Liquid)

Description: A spiritual liquid from the Heavenly Martial Continent, made from the first dewdrop of each day in the far east, combined with various rare and precious herbs.

Level: Legendary

Jiang Han stared at the flask of Jade Dew, and after a while, he finally managed to say, "Damn..."
