As the assessment began, Duan Zihai gave Qin Yichen a provocative look, then picked up a bottle of medicinal liquid and sniffed it.
Even though there was only a single type of medicinal liquid, it was not an easy task to identify the name of each medicinal ingredient and its approximate age.
Even with Duan Zihai's knowledge and mental strength, it still took him five to six minutes to put down the first bottle of medicinal liquid. Although it was a little difficult, he still managed to identify the medicinal ingredients in the first bottle.
At this time, Qin Yichen still did not move.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you!"
Duan Zihai glanced at Qin Yichen and laughed in his heart.
The difficulty of identifying medicinal liquids made by mixing different medicinal ingredients was several times higher than his own. It was impossible for him to identify eight bottles of medicinal liquid within the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.
"Qin Yichen …"
Tian Liang could not help but call out when he saw that Qin Yichen still did not move after the incense had burned down to a small section.
Qin Yichen did not respond to Tian Liang's call. In fact, it was as if he had given up and was too bored, so he simply sat down on a chair at the side.
"Hehe … Elder Duan, don't worry. This kid will definitely not be able to enter Dan Province."
When he saw Qin Yichen's actions, the middle-aged instructor smiled at Duan Quan in a flattering manner.
"Mm, well done."
Duan Quan nodded and said in a low voice. Then, he looked at Tian Liang arrogantly.
"Old Man Tian, do you know what despair is now? You dare to go against me? Even if the Governor is here and I don't personally kill you, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead! "
Duan Quan walked to Tian Liang's side and whispered into his ear. The threat and menace in his words made Tian Liang's body tremble violently.
"Duan Huan, you shameless villain!"
Tian Liang pointed at Duan Quan angrily and shouted, "Because of the personal enmity between us, you actually used despicable means on an unrelated junior. Do you still have the demeanor an elder should have?"
"Elder Tian, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Which eye of yours saw me making things difficult for him?"
Following Tian Liang's shout, Duan Quan's expression turned serious as he said with a smile. However, his face was saying, "Yes, I did it. What can you do about it?"
"You …"
Tian Liang was so angry that he felt his chest tighten. However, he couldn't refute Duan Quan's words.
The two of them glared at each other angrily. During this confrontation, the sandalwood incense gradually burned out.
"Phew …"
When only a tenth of the sandalwood was left, Duan ZiHai let out a soft exclamation. He finally identified the eight medicinal liquids!
"Good lad!"
Looking at Duan ZiHai's confident look, Duan Quan couldn't help but secretly exclaim.
When he first came to participate in the assessment, he only needed to identify five medicinal liquids to pass. At that time, he tried his best, but in the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, he only identified seven medicinal liquids.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Duan ZiHai looked at the small section of sandalwood incense that was left. It would probably take another five or six minutes for it to burn out. The time he took was faster than Duan Quan's record, and he even identified one more medicinal liquid. Duan ZiHai couldn't wait to verify it.
As for Qin Yichen?
Duan ZiHai had already ignored him. Anyone who saw the mixture of medicinal liquids would have to give up.
"Well, then …"
The middle-aged tutor nodded, but he glanced at Tian Liang. The sandalwood incense had yet to burn out. He had learned his lesson from before and did not want to fall into the hands of the latter for casually changing the assessment time.
"Lad, don't tell me you've really given up …"
Tian Liang softly sighed in his heart and shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't blame Qin Yichen for this. It was obvious that the assessment teacher was purposely making things difficult for them. How could one possibly identify eight medicinal liquids in the time it took for a stick of incense to burn out?
"Have you finally finished looking? So slow … "
At this moment, a lazy voice sounded out. Qin Yichen stretched lazily on the chair and slowly stood up.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the few people, he slowly walked towards the ten messy bottles of medicinal liquids.
"What? Don't tell me he still wants to identify them? "
When he saw Qin Yichen pick up a bottle of medicinal liquid, Duan Quan coldly snorted and mocked.
"Tap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yichen put down the bottle of medicinal liquid. Then, he picked up the second bottle.
"Haha …"
When he saw Qin Yichen's actions, Duan Quan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He only took one look and put it down. Was this lad purposely trying to tease them?
"Tap!"
In a few breaths' time, Qin Yichen put the second bottle back and picked up the third bottle.
Following his actions, Tian Liang's heart sank and the uneasiness in his heart intensified.
To identify a mixture of medicinal liquids in the time it took for a stick of incense to burn out, let alone Qin Yichen, even he could only sigh in disappointment.
In less than a few minutes, Qin Yichen basically picked up a bottle of medicinal liquid, glanced at it twice and put it back. When the last trace of ash fell from the sandalwood incense, Qin Yichen put the last bottle of medicinal liquid back.
"Time's up! Time's up! "
When he saw that the sandalwood incense had burned out, the middle-aged instructor was afraid that Qin Yichen would regret it and hurriedly shouted.
The glimmer of light in Tian Liang's eyes dimmed. Was it still not enough after all?
"Alright, the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn out has passed. You may begin!"
The middle-aged instructor said as he pulled the bottles of medicinal liquid in front of Qin Yichen closer to him.
"Then I'll go first!" Duan Zihai said confidently.
Then, he pointed at the first bottle of medicinal liquid and said, "This is the medicinal liquid refined from the Cloud Water Grass!"
"Amazing! The Cloud Water Grass is an extremely rare medicinal herb. Even in Dan Province, many people have never come into contact with it. I didn't expect you to have such a profound ability to recognize medicinal herbs. As expected of a member of the Duan Family! "
As soon as Duan Zihai finished speaking, the middle-aged instructor quickly clapped and praised him loudly.
"You flatter me."
Duan Zihai's face was full of pleasure. After nodding, he pointed at the second bottle of medicinal liquid and said, "This is the medicinal liquid refined from the Blue Confusion Fruit!"
"It is indeed the Blue Confusion Fruit!"
"This is the medicinal liquid refined from the Wolfberry Grass!"
…
…
Every time Duan Zihai identified a bottle of medicinal liquid, the middle-aged instructor would chime in with a few words of praise. In total, Duan Zihai had identified eight bottles of medicinal liquid.
