Cheating.
Obviously, it was impossible.
After all, it was almost impossible to fool everyone present. Unless the person who helped Qin Yichen cheat had a higher cultivation level than them.
However, they were unwilling to accept this fact.
If Qin Yichen really did it, then how terrifying was his ability and talent?!
However, this did not make sense.
Qin Yichen was too young.
"Cheating?"
Tian Liang snapped out of his daze and snorted. "Duan Quan, why don't you try cheating too?"
"You! … "
His question left Duan Quan speechless.
Cheat my ass! What could he use to cheat?
He wanted to refute, but even if he said that Qin Yichen cheated, he did not have any evidence.
"Do you think he cheated too?"
Tian Liang looked at the middle-aged instructor from the corner of his eyes and spoke rudely.
As an independent cultivator, he was helpless with the current situation in Shifang Dan Province.
Shifang Dan Province used to be the holy land of alchemists, but it was now riddled with holes by the various forces.
This was the shortcoming of an independent cultivator.
There were two main factors for an alchemist to grow.
Firstly, talent.
Secondly, resources.
No matter how talented an alchemist was, if there were not enough resources, his talent would be buried.
On the other hand, alchemists from the major forces or the Three Major Sects had their own resources. Because they had all the resources they wanted, it was natural for them to grow quickly. Independent cultivators could not compare to them at all.
Just like now, other than the governor, the other two Foreign Dignitaries were from the Three Major Sects.
Every time the Foreign Dignitaries fought, the Three Major Sects would bleed a lot.
It was because of the bias of the people in power that independent cultivators could not survive in Shifang Dan Province.
Even an independent master alchemist like Tian Liang, who was already an elder, could not escape this fate, let alone others.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Shifang Dan Province had changed.
Alchemists who were supposed to be focused on studying alchemy were now focused on flattery, just like the middle-aged instructor in front of them. Where was the integrity of an alchemist?!
"You … pass."
The middle-aged instructor's expression was ugly, but he still announced the result.
Although Duan Zihai did not say anything, the indignant look on his face showed that he did not think Qin Yichen had the ability to do so.
"Kid, you may have gotten away with it, but don't think that it's so easy to enter Shifang Dan Province!"
Duan Quan snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked to Duan Zihai and whispered a few words in his ear. The latter nodded knowingly and looked at Qin Yichen with unkind eyes.
"The second stage, Medicine Medicine Identifying Herbs Medicine. Medicine.

"It was supposed to be five. How did it become eight?!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Liang's expression changed, and he asked loudly.
"Elder Tian, everyone is equal in front of the assessment. Young Master Duan also has to identify eight to pass the assessment."
The middle-aged instructor replied calmly. Then, he glanced at Qin Yichen and said in a strange tone, "If you don't have the ability, you should quit early so that you don't embarrass yourself later."
If there was a possibility of cheating in the refining of the Ironheart Fruit, then there was no way to cheat in the second assessment, identifying herbs.
This was because the medicinal liquids were randomly configured by the examiners.
Of course, if one colluded with the examiners, they could cheat. However, the middle-aged instructor would never give Qin Yichen the chance to cheat.
Soon, the middle-aged instructor brought the medicinal liquids over and placed them in front of Qin Yichen and Duan Zihai.
There were a total of twenty bottles of medicinal liquids. Ten bottles were placed in front of each of them. The purity and color of the medicinal liquids were different.
In this way, the possibility of cheating was eliminated.
However, it was obvious that the ten bottles of medicinal liquids in front of Duan Zihai were relatively clear, while the ten bottles in front of Qin Yichen … were relatively murky and colorful.
Although they were both ten bottles of medicinal liquids, the ten bottles in front of Duan Zihai contained a single type of herb, while the one in front of Qin Yichen contained a mixture of different types of herbs.
"Is this the so-called equality?!"
How could Tian Liang not see through this? At that moment, he almost gritted his teeth and shouted.
This was obviously making things difficult for Qin Yichen. Moreover, it was obvious that he wanted to eliminate Qin Yichen!
Everyone knew how difficult it was to identify different medicinal liquids when they were mixed together. The more types of herbs there were, the harder it was to identify them. Some of them were even impossible to identify.
In the current situation, as long as Qin Yichen couldn't identify one type of medicinal property in each bottle of medicinal liquids, it would definitely be seen as a mistake.
Even if it was just one bottle, it would be extremely difficult to identify each type of medicinal property, let alone eight bottles. Moreover, there was a time limit to the assessment.
"Tian Liang, this is an important place for the assessment. How dare you make such a big fuss?!"
Duan Quan retorted. She didn't seem to have anything against him.
"You …"
Tian Liang was so angry that his entire body trembled. Just as he was about to lash out, Qin Yichen shook his head and stopped him.
Indeed, as the examiner, this middle-aged instructor had the right to do so. However, it was rare for him to be biased like this.
After all, Ten Directions Pill Palace wouldn't reject a talented alchemist as long as he or she could join their ranks.
However, Qin Yichen was a special case. He was recommended by Tian Liang.
Even if this matter was brought to Dan Province's Foreign Dignitaries, there wouldn't be any results.
Unless the governor intervened.
However, what kind of status did the governor of Dan Province have? How could he intervene over such a small matter?!
It was precisely because the governor was obsessed with alchemy that he left all matters in Dan Province to the Foreign Dignitaries and Elders to manage. This led to the vicious competition in Dan Province.
"Well done."
Duan Quan had a smile on his face as he looked at the middle-aged tutor with admiration in his eyes.
"I'll have to rely on Elder Duan's guidance in the future."
The middle-aged instructor whispered to Duan Quan. His eyes were filled with joy.
His purpose was very clear. He wanted to curry favor with Duan Quan.
Now, there was no doubt that he had achieved his goal. As for Tian Liang? He didn't care about him at all.
He was just a beggar!
As long as the Dong Lin Sect existed, Tian Liang would never be able to make a comeback!
"Thirty minutes. Now, the assessment begins!"
