Many people were indignant.

Someone clenched their fist and cursed loudly, "Bullshit! You Japs are really good at turning black into white. How dare you claim that our traditional Chinese medicine originated in your Sunset Country! That's utter nonsense!"

"Exactly, what's so special about a mere pill? Weren't you just beaten by our Brother Ye moments ago!"

"Stop trying to glorify yourself, shameless bastard!"

At this moment, many people's blood was boiling, and they all placed their hopes on Ye Guichen.

Mai Gu shook his head with a bitter smile.

He understood the significance of the Ascension Pill.

If someone in Sunset Country could really produce the Ascension Pill while Hua Country couldn't, it might genuinely prove that Xu Fu's alchemy techniques were learned from Sunset Country.

And this could potentially alter many historical accounts.

These changes would be very detrimental to Hua Country.

However, Mai Gu couldn't fathom how such a legendary pill could be genuinely produced when even his master couldn't decipher it throughout his entire life. Could Matsui Ichiro truly be a genius among geniuses?

Ye Guichen was equally puzzled.

He knew there were many martial artists in the world and many things unknown to ordinary people.

But the Ascension Pill seemed too outrageous.

According to Mai Gu's explanation, this Ascension Pill might actually allow one to ascend in broad daylight.

That's utter nonsense.

"Mr. Matsui, some things shouldn't be said too early." Ye Guichen stepped up to Matsui Ichiro and pointed to the Ascension Pill in his hand, "How do you intend to compete in this round?"

Matsui Ichiro's face was full of confidence, "Haha, Brother Ye, it would be too difficult to ask you to produce an Ascension Pill. People might even say I'm bullying a junior. So, I have an Ascension Pill here. If you can identify its ingredients, I will count this round as your win. How about that?"

These words immediately caused a stir.

What Matsui Ichiro said sounded noble, but it was clear he was certain of victory.

Even Su Tong and Mai Gu's expressions changed drastically.

They understood Matsui Ichiro's cunning.

Producing an Ascension Pill was difficult, but identifying its ingredients was even harder.

An already formed pill, even with a tiny bit of herb added, would completely change its properties and would go undetected.

Moreover, the complexity of this kind of pill could involve hundreds of different ingredients, making it impossible to identify even with a dog's nose.

To be blunt, this was more challenging than producing the pill itself.

"Ye, let's skip this round and move to the next one!"

"Yes, it's impossible to accomplish this task."

"Ye, even if we concede this round, we just need to tie the next one. No need to argue with them!"

Mai Gu and Su Tong exchanged glances and urged.

They knew there was no chance of winning this round.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen gently shook his head and smiled at Mai Gu and Su Tong, "Masters, I'd like to give it a try."

"What? You..." The two were shocked and didn't understand Ye Guichen's intention.

Ye Guichen pointed to the pill and said to Matsui Ichiro, "If I can identify the ingredients and their quantities, but you deny it and say I'm wrong, how will we determine the winner?"

Implying that if he cheated, there would be no way to judge the winner.

Hearing this, Matsui Ichiro laughed and mocked, "Kid, do you really think you have that ability? Fine, for the sake of fairness, I will write down all the ingredients and their quantities, print them out, and give them to the reporters here. If your answers match, I won't say a word."

As he spoke, Matsui Ichiro waved his hand.

Immediately, someone handed out pre-printed papers to the reporters present.

The papers contained the ingredients and quantities of the Ascension Pill.

Seeing this, Ye Guichen nodded lightly, "It seems Mr. Matsui was well prepared. In that case, I'll give it a try."

With that, Ye Guichen stepped forward again, picked up the Ascension Pill, and carefully examined it, occasionally sniffing it.

Matsui Ichiro sneered at Ye Guichen's pretentious act.

"What a show-off!" To Matsui Ichiro, it was impossible for anyone to identify the ingredients and quantities of a pill just by observation and smell.

Not to mention that this pill was specially prepared for this visit to Hua Country, even if it contained only a dozen ingredients, the quantities would vary greatly depending on the person.

This round was a sure win!

Someone brought Matsui Ichiro a chair, and he sat down leisurely, seemingly bored and ready to take out his phone to play.

After all, even if Ye Guichen could come up with a rough idea, it wouldn't be a quick task.

But just as Matsui Ichiro sat down, Ye Guichen raised his head and signaled with the Ascension Pill, "Mr. Matsui, I've finished identifying it. However, I have a question. I'm not sure if I should ask?"

"Hmm?" Ye Guichen's words made Matsui Ichiro sit up straight, "You've finished identifying it? Haha, are you kidding me?"

"In matters of medicine, I never joke." Ye Guichen shook his head, "I just want to ask Mr. Matsui, there's a very rare ingredient in this pill called Seven-Day Red. Where did you find it?"

"Seven-Day Red?" Hearing these words, Matsui Ichiro's expression suddenly turned ugly.

But he thought Ye Guichen might have seen the formula of the Ascension Pill and was trying to trick him, so he calmly said, "Of course, it was found in the depths of the sea. Why are you asking?"

"Hehe, no particular reason." Ye Guichen sighed, "Sorry, but this is not the legendary Ascension Pill. It's just a high-quality imitation. Moreover, if someone really takes it, not only will it not have the effects of the Ascension Pill, but it will also cause diarrhea. Oh, and if the experience of diarrhea so severe makes one feel like ascending to immortality, then maybe calling it the Ascension Pill has some merit!"

"Damn! Are you questioning the authenticity of this pill?" Matsui Ichiro immediately jumped up, "Are you saying this because you can't identify the ingredients? Kid, stop changing the subject. If you don't know, just admit it."

Mai Gu also frowned in puzzlement.

He had scrutinized this pill himself, and although he had never seen the real Ascension Pill, its appearance and smell matched the records in the Shennong Sect exactly.

Now Ye Guichen was claiming the pill was fake. Was he purposely trying to deflect?
