C449 Examination of the apothecary

In other words, this child was even more powerful than the Heavencraft Tower's master!

This was simply too inconceivable. How could a child who was over ten years old be this powerful? Just how strong would a master need to be to teach such a disciple?

"Nonsense!" Chang Sheng impatiently looked at the Master Dock in front of him as he lifted his hand to point at the people around him. "The selection of the medicinal ingredients has finished.

Arrogant!

Incomparable arrogance!

Everyone upstairs looked at the extremely arrogant child downstairs in a daze. It wasn't that they hadn't seen such an arrogant child before, but they had really never seen such an arrogant child.

This child was obviously a smart person by nature. He should also understand that no one who could enter this place was a simple person. However, he was still as arrogant as before, pointing at all the pill refiners except him, calling them trash.

Having reached such an unbridled level of arrogance, it was truly a mystery as to what kind of backing this child had!

The surrounding apothecaries, who were still thinking carefully about the herbs in their hands, suddenly heard the ten year old child in front of them say such humiliating words. One by one, they put down the herbs in their hands and glared furiously at the child.

But because of the rage in their hearts, they couldn't do anything about it.

Are you still going to talk back?

He looked like a child, and it would be too shameful if word of their argument got out. Besides, they couldn't say that it was this child, and he only needed to smell it, and with a light sniff, he could smell the medicinal plant in front of him.

And they? Even now, they still could not identify the medicinal ingredients in front of them.

When the Master Dock heard this, he looked around him and said to Chang Sheng: "Right now, there's really no way for you to take the next assessment. You're taking it too quickly, we're not ready for the next assessment yet, just wait a little longer, if you wait any longer you'll be able to take the next assessment."

On the other side, Elder Yu was startled when he heard Master Dock's words. Master Dock had actually started to lie too, for a child.

What wasn't ready, what kind of place was the Heavencraft Tower, how could the assessment not be prepared in advance!

The Elder Yu waited until the Master Dock had finished speaking and returned to his side, then quietly whispered to his side and asked: "Master Dock, you actually lied for that child's sake. "You've met countless geniuses before, but you haven't treated these people the way you would a child today. Could it be that you can judge this child's talent just by the fact that he is able to identify the herbs?"

"Isn't that enough?" After the Master Dock heard this, he whispered to the side of the Elder Yu, "Based on his ability to identify medicinal ingredients just now, not a single person in our entire Heavencraft Tower could do it."

"No one can do it?" Elder Yu was shocked, he looked at Master Dock in disbelief: "Master Dock, are you saying, that you can't do it?"

"I can't do it. Perhaps I can smell most of the herbs, but if I were to judge just by smell, it would take me a long time to figure out what kind of herbs they are. As for the Scentless Jade Fruit, I am well aware of myself." I definitely wouldn't be able to smell that kind of medicinal herb, not to mention, this child used its smell to determine the age and environment of the medicinal plant, which made it even more amazing. Compared to me, he's stronger! "

"But he looks to be around ten years old …"

Elder Yu truly could not believe that a ten year old child would be better at identifying medicinal ingredients than Master Dock, who had been fighting with medicinal ingredients and medicinal pellets for his entire life.

Identifying medicinal herbs was not something one could take advantage of. If one wanted to identify medicinal herbs, they could only look at it more. With more knowledge of medicinal herbs, as well as the number of times they had dealings with them, it was naturally easier to identify them.

Master Dock came from an Alchemy family, he had been exposed to all kinds of medicinal herbs since he was young.

This brat in front of him, was around ten years old, yet his ability to identify medicinal herbs had already surpassed Master Dock's. Even if he was like Master Dock and had been exposed to medicinal herbs since he was young, it was still impossible!

However, the truth was right in front of their eyes and Master Dock had also personally said it, so they had no choice but to believe it!

Slowly, the remaining pill refiners handed over the sheets of paper on which they had just written the names of the herbs to the Elder Yu. As long as they could enter the Heavencraft Tower, there wouldn't be a simple one.

Without even looking at the content on the paper, he passed it to the guards and took out a piece of paper from his bosom. He said to the rest of them: "There are still some medicinal ingredients on the table beside you, I will be reading the names and weights of some medicinal ingredients later. You will be responsible for finding the appropriate medicinal ingredients, and on the table are the tools for cutting and weighing the medicinal ingredients that have been prepared for you.

When the Elder Yu said this, he didn't care if the others reacted or not, and directly started reading: "Green Artemisia Fruit costs one or two coins."

As the Elder Yu's voice fell, all the pill refiners started to rummage through the medicinal ingredients in front of them. Some of them were worried that Elder Yu might speak too fast and might not even have time to fully measure the medicinal ingredients.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the scene. The most eye-catching one was a child in his teens.1

But unexpectedly, when the child heard the Elder Yu's words, he only took out a fruit the size of an almond and placed it on the side of the table, not moving at all.

He actually recognized the fruit that the child had taken out. It was definitely an artemisia selengensis fruit, but he was talking about a green artemisia selengensis fruit that was worth a total of thirteen coins. This kind of complete artemisia selengensis was not worth a total of thirteen coins, he should have used his tools to cut out a piece of two to three coins worth of artemisia selengensis fruit.

What did he mean by not moving now?

Elder Yu was suspicious. Feeling that the time was almost up, he continued to speak. "Sea core grass, eight coins."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone began to search for the Artemisia selengensis again. However, those who had already cut down and weighed the artemisia selengensis were not too bad. Those who did not cut and weighed the fruits were in trouble.

Some put down the artemisia selengensis that they were cutting and began to search for seaweed amongst the herbs. Some ignored the seaweed and continued to measure the artemisia selengensis fruit.

However, out of everyone present, the first one to find and place the seaweed at the side was Chang Sheng. It seemed that this time, the person who found and placed the seaweed at the side was still the same as last time, not taking any tools, and only finding the ingredients.

For the next three times, Chang Sheng would be the first one to find the medicinal ingredients, and then he would put the medicinal ingredients aside and ignore it.

Seeing this, everyone slowly came back to their senses.

Upstairs, in the previous exam, the man who had stayed behind after entering the first floor of the Tian Ji Restaurant, relying on his culinary arts, looked down at the child below and slowly said, "I understand, this child should only know about the medicinal ingredients, so he distinguished them very quickly. Even now, he is the first person to find the medicinal ingredients every time, but he can only distinguish them now."

The man raised his hand and pointed downwards. "Look, he hasn't touched those tools from start to finish. My guess is that he won't use them."

The moment the man finished speaking, the people beside him immediately nodded in agreement.

That's right, this child was still so young, yet his ability to distinguish medicinal plants was this strong. This was truly too terrifying.

From the looks of it, he should be focusing all his energy on learning to differentiate the medicinal herbs. As for the rest, he should not understand at all.

Master Dock looked at the child in front of him, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. It seemed that this child could only differentiate between the medicinal ingredients, he did not even know anything about other things, and it seemed like he did not even know how to use the most basic cutting and measuring tools.

Elder Yu looked at the child in front of him for a moment, and then continued to look at him, unknowingly, increasing his reading speed.

"Kawasaki Grass, Kawabata Grass, Kawabata Grass, 6 coins."

Suddenly, Elder Yu called out the names of the three medicinal herbs, and the weight of each medicinal herb was the same.

Chang Sheng's heart immediately lit up, the current examination looked like it was mainly about the ability of the examinees to cut and measure the quality of the medicinal herbs, but the Heavencraft Tower examination shouldn't be so easy.

On the side, there was even a cauldron. Furthermore, regardless of what the examination was, it would definitely be an apothecary examination in the end.

Alchemists required a very long time to refine pills, and Heavencraft Tower could not allow people to refine for a long time. When these three medicinal ingredients became medicinal ingredients for a pill at the same time, they would only be a single medicinal ingredient, and that was the Examination Pill.

It turned out that during the Immortal Realm, the various alchemists would also often ask the alchemist kids under their command to compete in alchemy, and at the same time, they would also send their disciples to compete with each other.

In this kind of competition, no matter what pill one forged, it would be inappropriate. There would always be a type of pill that someone was adept in. More importantly, it took too long for someone to forge another pill.

Therefore, when everyone competed in alchemy, they would always compete in the refining of Examination Pill.

The medicinal ingredients required to refine a Examination Pill were all relatively common medicinal ingredients and their value were not high. More importantly, the time required to refine a Examination Pill was extremely short. In fact, no one would be able to refine a Examination Pill in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

However, currently in the Daqi Dynasty, they had never heard of Examination Pill, so it was likely that no one knew about the existence of this kind of pellet.

However, Heavencraft Tower is not limited to just Daqi Dynasty. People with Heavencraft Tower should know about Examination Pill.

Moreover, the first few types of medicinal ingredients, were all used to refine Examination Pill. With this, the next step would definitely be for the people from Heavencraft Tower to use the medicinal ingredients that they had found to refine the Examination Pill.
