841: Chapter 841: Detecting Poison by Scent!

Qin Han looked at Tang Liuyu and smiled, “Luck is for those who lack real strength!”

“Well, for that confidence, Mr.

Qin, Old Tang, you are sure to return to the Tang Clan this time!” Wang Pingchuan’s master said with a smile.

Half an hour quickly passed.

The first batch of participants proceeded to the stage in order.

At this point, forty tables had already been set up at the front, each with a wooden box on top!

Forty people stood at the tables, all looking at the white-haired old man in front of them.

The white-haired old man said, “Inside the wooden boxes before you are various kinds of poisons, some crafted by the Tang Clan, others collected by them.

After opening the box, identify the poison’s name and toxicity, and write them on the white paper beside you.”

“If you get it right, you pass the round!”

Qin Han turned his head and saw the white paper and pen placed next to the wooden box.

Surveying the other contestants, he noticed Chi Zihuan, who had spoken to him earlier, was also present.

Seeing Qin Han looking his way, Chi Zihuan smiled broadly at him.

Qin Han, however, ignored him, making Chi Zihuan huff coldly and pout.

Meanwhile, An Zimo, watching from below, instantly had a dark expression on his face.

“I hope you can make it to the third round!” His tone was filled with sinister coldness.

Beside him, Tang Liuyu’s eyes were filled with even more worry upon hearing An Zimo’s words.

This An Zimo was the runner-up of the previous poison competition, and from his tone just now, it was clear he felt offended during the drawing of lots earlier, and intended to exact revenge on Qin Han.

Wang Pingchuan, however, patted Tang Liuyu’s shoulder and said, “Uncle Tang, don’t worry.

Those who boast the loudest usually have no real ability.”

“This kind of poison competition is child’s play for Qin Han!”

Tang Liuyu knew Wang Pingchuan was trying to console him, so he forced a smile and said nothing.

But An Zimo, standing nearby, snorted coldly, “Where did this rabble come from?

Do you wish to test my poison skills, An Zimo?”

“Your little tricks may scare others, but they’re useless against me,” Wang Pingchuan scoffed.

“Why don’t you try?” An Zimo said as he stepped forward.

Tang Liuyu immediately spoke up, “An Zimo, even as the runner-up of the previous poison competition, if you dare poison anyone participating here, are you not afraid of the Tang Clan’s punishment?”

“Hmph!” An Zimo snorted and stood still, his expression showing some fear, clearly indicating the Tang Clan’s punishment was formidable.

At this moment, the contestants on stage were ready, just waiting for the white-haired elder to signal the start.

Seeing that everyone was prepared, the white-haired elder smiled and said, “The first round begins!

You have half an hour!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone eagerly opened their wooden boxes.

In the crowd, only two people remained still, Chi Zihuan and Qin Han.

Chi Zihuan looked at Qin Han in surprise, not understanding why he hadn’t opened his box yet.

She was confident in herself; did Qin Han feel the same?

But the next moment, Chi Zihuan was astonished.

Qin Han merely sniffed the box and then began writing on the white paper.

Chi Zihuan couldn’t help but say, “Hey, you didn’t even open the box, yet started answering just by smelling it?”

Qin Han remained silent, continuing to write.

Tang Liuyu, seeing this, quickly asked Wang Pingchuan’s master beside him, “Brother, what is Mr.

Qin doing?”

“Is Mr.

Qin…”

Wang Pingchuan’s master, equally puzzled, still tried to reassure Tang Liuyu, “Don’t worry.

I’m also unclear about Qin Han’s intention, but he’s not someone who would act recklessly.

Just trust him.”

Truthfully, Wang Pingchuan’s master was also puzzled by Qin Han’s behavior.

Starting to answer without even opening the box seemed a bit…

Chi Zihuan’s exclamation drew the white-haired elder’s attention, who frowned and scolded, “Chi Zihuan, if you speak again, I’ll disqualify you immediately.”

Hearing this, Chi Zihuan pouted and pointed at Qin Han, wanting to speak, “But…”

“Mind your own task!” the white-haired elder scolded.

However, his gaze did shift to Qin Han, though he didn’t step forward.

The white-haired elder, to avoid arousing suspicion, even though curious about Qin Han’s actions, said nothing.

Soon, after finishing writing, Qin Han approached the white-haired elder.

Handing over the white paper, Qin Han descended from the stage.

The white-haired elder initially thought Qin Han was likely just going through the motions, as many clans struggled to find poison experts each year and would send someone random, since the Tang Clan did not permit absences in the competition.

But as the white-haired elder’s eyes swept over the densely packed words on the paper, his face showed a trace of surprise.

He quickly turned to the stage and picked up a booklet, flipping through it.

Finding the number corresponding to Qin Han’s box, he continued reading.

The more he read, the more his face filled with shock.

After reading everything Qin Han wrote, the white-haired elder looked up just as Qin Han was returning to his seat.

“Mr.

Qin, this is…” Tang Liuyu asked anxiously.

Qin Han gave a slight smile, “I’m done answering!”

“What?” Tang Liuyu stared at Qin Han in shock.

The white-haired elder took a deep breath and announced, “First place in the first batch of the first round, Qin Han of the Xiangxi Tang family wins!”

“What?”

“How is that possible?”

“He determined the poison just by smell?”

An Zimo looked at Qin Han in shock, murmuring, “How could it be?

How can anyone determine a poison’s toxicity by smell alone?”

The spectators below looked at Qin Han with changing expressions: some skeptical, some admiring, but mostly thoughtful.

This young man named Qin Han could identify the poison and its toxicity just from a sniff, and from the elder’s expression, it was evident that Qin Han’s answers were completely correct.

The remaining contestants continued to carefully discern the poisons, including Chi Zihuan, who was intently studying the round pill in her box.

Then, after writing a few lines, verified by the white-haired elder, Chi Zihuan passed as well!

However, as Chi Zihuan stepped off the stage, she directly approached Qin Han and asked, “You can determine poisons just by smell?”

“Have you reached the level of recognizing poisons by their scent?”

Qin Han did not acknowledge Chi Zihuan.

To him, participating in this competition was merely doing Old Tang a favor.

After the competition, he would have no further dealings with these people, so he didn’t intend to engage more with them.

“You really infuriate me!” Chi Zihuan said angrily.
