"If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Mr. Han to identify the herbs." Mu Hanyan then realized that Han Jinglun had not just heard about the whereabouts of the Scarlet Sky Sword, but had seen it with his own eyes. She secretly sighed in her heart: The Tianji family is indeed worthy of their reputation, and their knowledge is really broad.
Since Han Jinglun has this ability, she is too lazy to show off her good luck. And to be honest, Mu Hanyan is not used to relying everything on luck.
"Thank you, Mr. Han." Although Mu Nan had never heard of the Tianji family, seeing that Mu Hanyan was so polite to Han Jinglun, he naturally did not dare to neglect him and saluted respectfully.
Han Jinglun returned the greeting with a smile, and without refusing, he walked straight to the long table.
"This one is the Dragon Armor Three Spirit Grass. Although the ones next to it look very similar in appearance, if you look closely, you will find that the roots are slightly different." Han Jinglun picked up a herb and said to everyone.
Mu Hanyan and others immediately came over, stared at it for a long time, but did not find any difference.
Han Jinglun looked at them with a smile and did not explain too much.
Mu Hanyan lifted up a few more herbs and examined them carefully under the light.
"I discovered that there are scales growing on the fine whiskers at the roots of this Dragon Armor Three Spirit Grass." Mu Nan suddenly said in surprise.
Mu Hanyan and the others focused their attention at the same time and looked over. Sure enough, the thin roots of the Dragon Armor Three Spirit Grass were vaguely covered with a layer of fine scales. However, the roots were as thin as hairs, and the scales on them were of their natural color. If you didn't look at it under the light, you couldn't see the difference at all.
"Sixth Young Master has good eyesight." Han Jinglun praised.
Mu Nan blushed slightly. How could this be considered good eyesight? He looked left and right, sideways and vertically until his eyes were almost sore. Finally, he looked at the light and barely found the difference. However, Han Jinglun just took a few glances and determined the authenticity. This was what real good eyesight looked like.
No wonder Qu Shanling admires him so much and Mu Hanyan also treats him with courtesy. This Han Jinglun is really capable.
"This one is the Perilla Hibiscus Flower. It's very similar to the other herbs, the only difference being its withered calyx. Since the Perilla Hibiscus Flower is named for its fragrance, it naturally has a unique aroma. However, what most people don't know is that the fragrance of the Perilla Hibiscus Flower doesn't come from the petals or stamens, but from the withered calyx.
This one is the Cold Dew Earth Emperor Ginseng. Its peculiarity lies in…” Next, Han Jinglun did not keep anyone in suspense. While identifying the herb, he explained its peculiarities to Mu Hanyan and the others, as if he knew them all by heart.
Even Mu Hanyan was secretly impressed. The Tianji family truly lived up to their reputation. Han Jinglun's breadth of knowledge was so vast that even the ancient aristocratic families with a heritage of tens of thousands of years couldn't compare to him, let alone ordinary people. The more Mu Hanyan listened, the more amazed she was. "Tsk tsk, tsk tsk!" she thought. "This time, I've really brought back a treasure, and a real gem at that." Of course, this "real gem" didn't mean "funny."
"The last one, eh..." After a while, the first few herbs were all identified. When it came to the last one, Han Jinglun had already picked up the herb, but suddenly he let out a light "eh" and looked puzzled.
"What's wrong, Mr. Han? Is there anything wrong with this plant?" Mu Nan asked curiously.
"No, no, the last kind of Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower, these two are all similar, especially these two, they look almost exactly the same. I thought it was this one at first glance, but when I looked closely, I felt that the red spot in the pistil was a little wrong. But as for the other one, the ice mist color on the petals seems to be a little too light, which is not right either." Han Jinglun shook his head and said.
"Which one is it?" Mu Nan asked. He had identified the previous herbs one by one with reason and evidence, so there should be no mistake. If he couldn't identify the last one, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?
Han Jinglun looked at the two herbs over and over again, his expression becoming increasingly puzzled. Finally, he placed the two herbs back on the table and said frankly, "These two herbs are consistent with the Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower I know about in some ways, but they also differ in others. To be honest, I can't say for sure."
"Then what should we do? How about Master Qu, Brother Hanyan, why don't you try again?" When Mu Nan said try, he was of course referring to their astrology technique.
"This..." Qu Shanling hesitated. Although he had learned the Star Fantasy Thousand Machines Technique, he did not dare to say that he could foresee everything. How could he dare to take risks easily on such a big thing?
Mu Hanyan was also a little hesitant. Although she had been lucky since she got the auspicious beast egg, she always had a nonchalant attitude, which led to unexpected surprises. Once she got serious, she was not used to relying on luck for everything.
What if my luck is not with me this time?
"Brother Hanyan, I hope even you can't do anything." Seeing that even Mu Hanyan showed hesitation, Mu Nan became a little anxious.
"Do you really think I'm..." Mu Hanyan slapped Mu Nan in anger. She was about to say, "You think I'm a charlatan who knows everything?" But before she could finish her words, she felt a movement in her chest. The auspicious beast egg popped out, bounced a few times on the ground, and then, with a whoosh, it landed on the table. Then, next to one of the herbs, it jumped and danced, dazzling everyone.
Mu Nan and Qu Shanling were both stunned: an egg, one that wouldn't break when it fell to the ground, and could bounce around like a ball, what kind of egg was this?
"What kind of strange beast egg is this? It's jumping around before it even hatches!" Mu Nan said in amazement as he looked at the auspicious beast egg jumping around on the table.
Mu Hanyan stared at the auspicious beast egg intently. What was the meaning of this thing jumping so happily? Was it trying to tell her that this one was the real Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower?
Mu Hanyan did not react. The auspicious beast egg bounced even faster, as if it was equipped with a spring, and hit the table with a series of empty sounds like raindrops. If Mu Hanyan didn't know how strong the shell was, she would really be worried that it would knock out the egg white and yolk.
"Are you trying to tell me that this is the real Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower?" Mu Hanyan asked tentatively.
The auspicious beast egg stopped for a moment, then tilted forward like a tumbler, as if nodding.
"It's become a spirit, it's become a spirit. The eggs can understand human language and nod." Mu Nan was so surprised that his eyes widened.
"This is the one." After receiving the answer from the auspicious beast egg, Mu Hanyan picked up the herb with a slightly deviant color of the pistil and said affirmatively.
"Brother Hanyan, you won't believe what a beast egg says, right? Oh no, he hasn't said anything yet, he's just jumping and shaking." Mu Nan looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
Although this strange beast egg seemed to be almost a spirit in his opinion, he still felt that Mu Hanyan's astrology technique was more reliable.
Hearing Mu Nan's words, the auspicious beast egg stopped and tilted to the side. Everyone strangely sensed a deep sense of contempt from this unhatched egg—contempt for Mu Nan. Mu Nan's mouth twitched, his expression complicated.
