"Duan Zihai, you have successfully identified eight different medicinal liquids in the second round. You pass!"
Duan Quan nodded his head in satisfaction after hearing the instructor's announcement. Then, he looked at Tian Liang arrogantly and sneered, "Why, Tian Liang, are you at your wit's end because you can't play any tricks?"
Indeed, there was no possibility of cheating in this round.
This was because all the medicinal liquids had been created by the middle-aged instructor.
Tian Liang did not say anything, but his deep frown revealed the worry in his heart.
Initially, he had always had a glimmer of hope for Qin Yichen, but Qin Yichen's attitude towards the assessment had disappointed him.
Because, in his view, Qin Yichen's move was obviously self-abandoning.
However, Tian Liang knew that he could not blame Qin Yichen for this.
Even he himself would not be able to identify the ingredients in the eight bottles of medicinal liquids in such a short period of time, let alone a young man like Qin Yichen.
"It's your turn."
The middle-aged instructor, who had been trying to flatter Qin Yichen, immediately changed his expression into a mean one.
"Heh heh."
Duan Zihai and Duan Quan laughed contemptuously, waiting for Qin Yichen to embarrass himself.
"Let's go."
Tian Liang sighed softly. He could not bear to see Qin Yichen being humiliated, so he pulled Qin Yichen and wanted to leave. However, he realized that Qin Yichen was still unmoved, and had no intention of leaving with him.
"You …"
Tian Liang still wanted to say something, but he saw Qin Yichen shoot him a look. His heart suddenly trembled. "Could it be …"
"Impossible!"
He seemed to have thought of a possibility, but it was quickly rejected by Tian Liang.
Absolutely impossible!
This was because Qin Yichen had only lightly sniffed each bottle. How could he tell the difference with just a sniff?!
Even those old pharmacists who worked with medicine could not do it.
"Pfft, he actually still wants to struggle on his deathbed, haha …"
Seeing this, Duan Zihai laughed mockingly. However, Qin Yichen only glanced at him. He was not angry and pointed to the first bottle.
"This first bottle of medicinal liquid is made from a mixture of four different medicinal herbs. They are respectively the Golden Crow Vine, which is about three grams, and the Blood Cloud Grass, which is about one gram …"
When Qin Yichen spoke, the middle-aged instructor's expression changed.
Perhaps, Duan Zihai and the others thought that Qin Yichen was spouting nonsense, but he was different.
He was the one who had concocted these medicinal liquids, so he naturally knew better than anyone else.
He would never have thought that not only was Qin Yichen able to identify the mixture of medicinal herbs, he was even able to accurately identify the quantities!
This was simply … too terrifying!
The middle-aged instructor felt his scalp go numb.
"Am I right?"
He only regained his senses when Qin Yichen stopped talking and asked.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was not the least bit flustered, his gaze wavered.
"What year was the Golden Crow Vine, and what year was the Blood Cloud Grass …"
Duan Quan and Duan Zihai, who had been waiting for his rejection, were stunned when they heard the middle-aged instructor's question.
"Golden Crow Vine that was about one and a half years old, and the tip of the Blood Cloud Grass that was picked in April …"
Qin Yichen was still calm and composed as he answered clearly and methodically.
"How …"
Duan Quan wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw the sudden change in expression on the middle-aged instructor's face, his heart trembled. "Could he be right?"
He had seen everything that had happened.
Qin Yichen had only sniffed lightly!
If he could really identify the mixture of medicinal herbs, the quantity, and even the age … that would be too exaggerated.
Duan Quan knew that he would not be able to do that.
Although he would be able to identify the herbs given time, it would not be so easy.
"Instructor …"
Duan Zihai instinctively called out, but the middle-aged instructor ignored him and continued to ask Qin Yichen, "What about this bottle?"
He casually picked up one of the bottles.
"This is a mixture of five types of medicinal herbs, with a small amount of Silver Light Stone added …"
"What about this bottle?"
"This is a mixture of two types of medicinal herbs …"
Qin Yichen answered smoothly.
Compared to his relaxed demeanor, the middle-aged instructor was sweating profusely. The roles between him and Qin Yichen seemed to have been reversed.
Until the last bottle.
"How is this possible …"
The middle-aged instructor looked at Qin Yichen in shock, his legs turning to jelly.
He had answered all ten bottles correctly, and he could not find any flaws at all!
Although he did not say whether Qin Yichen had answered correctly, the expression on his face said it all.
"Hiss! … "
Tian Liang could not help but gasp. His eyes were filled with shock.
He did not think highly of Qin Yichen and thought that he had given up on himself. He did not expect such an outcome.
"What a monster!"
That was the only way he could describe it.
He was even tempted by the promise he made to Qin Yichen.
Perhaps the injury to his sea of consciousness could really be healed?
Others couldn't do it. Even the elders of the Pill Palace couldn't do it. However, Qin Yichen had already done something that even the elders couldn't do.
This made them wonder if Qin Yichen had grown up in a pot of medicinal herbs. Otherwise, how could he know so much about medicinal herbs?
He could see through everything with just a sniff.
However, this was child's play to Qin Yichen.
What kind of joke was this? He was an alchemy saint who stood at the pinnacle of alchemy. The middle-aged instructor had mixed five to six different medicinal herbs at most. Even if there were more than a hundred herbs mixed together, Qin Yichen could still easily distinguish them.
Even so, Duan Quan and the others found it hard to accept.
What alchemy geniuses? What alchemy geniuses? They had seen a lot of them in Ten Directions Pill Prefecture. Each and every one of them was extremely talented. However, compared to the young man in front of them, they seemed so dull and dull.
Perhaps he had already surpassed the category of geniuses and prodigies.
Duan Quan did not say anything. His expression was ugly.
Duan Quan felt the same way.
Initially, he wanted to use the second assessment to make Qin Yichen back off and embarrass him. However, he did not expect him to show off his abilities.
At this point, no matter how stupid Duan Quan and the others were, they knew that they could not stop Qin Yichen from entering Shifang Dan Province.
"Pass … pass …"
It was a simple word, but the middle-aged instructor said it with a heavy heart.
He looked at Duan Quan and Duan Zihai with a complicated expression. He suddenly felt a deep sense of regret.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
