"You're done?"
One of the staff members asked worriedly. However, when he saw Qin Yichen nod his head seriously, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Done!"
Just when the crowd was wondering if Qin Yichen had failed to identify the medicinal liquid, Qian Zhengchen's voice sounded from the top of the stone platform two minutes later.
"Hiss, it's only been ten minutes and he's already finished?"
"As expected of Qian Zhengchen!"
When they heard Qian Zhengchen's voice, the crowd, who were originally looking at Qin Yichen with ridicule, turned their gazes towards Qian Zhengchen's direction.
At the top of the stone platform, Qian Zhengchen, who was dressed in snow-white clothes, proudly stood with a confident smile on his face. From the looks of it, the medicinal liquids refined from the two hundred rare medicinal herbs were not too difficult for him.
On Qin Yichen's platform, the staff members casually handed him a piece of paper and a pen, allowing him to write down the name of each medicinal herb. Then, their gazes turned towards Qian Zhengchen's platform.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Qian Zhengchen quickly wrote down the name of each medicinal herb in each jade bottle. The speed of his pen was like flowing water, without the slightest pause.
After a short while, Qian Zhengchen stopped. Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, the staff members on the stone platform began to examine the medicinal liquids.
"Qian Zhengchen, used thirteen minutes …"
After a while, the four staff members looked at each other. Immediately, one of them swallowed his saliva and bowed in the direction of the high platform. He slowly said, "Of the two hundred types of medicinal liquids, I correctly identified one hundred and ninety-six types!"
"Hua!"
When these words sounded, it immediately caused an uproar that filled the sky. Numerous gazes that were filled with respect looked at the white-colored figure with a fiery passion.
As expected of the number one alchemist in the younger generation of the Tian Long Empire, Qian Zhengchen!
In less than ten minutes, he actually identified one hundred and ninety-six medicinal liquids refined from the two hundred rare medicinal herbs!
This kind of result was really too shocking!
On the high platform, Dan Xuan and Chen Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of admiration flashing across their eyes.
"Done!"
"I'm done!"
At this time, more than twenty minutes had passed. On the various platforms, there were constantly voices announcing their completion.
"Hiss, it's Luo Xiujie. He's the second to complete. Looks like Luoyuan Dan Province spent a lot of effort on him!"
"Yeah, but it's a pity that Qian Zhengchen this time. he's not going to get first place."
"Bai Caizhe is done too!"
"…"
Amidst the exclamations, the contestants quickly wrote down the names of the medicinal herbs they had identified and handed them over to the staff.
However, after Qian Zhengchen, no other contestant was able to correctly identify more than one hundred and ninety-nine types of medicinal herbs. Now in second place was Luo Xiujie from Luoyuan Dan Province. He had identified one hundred and fifty-eight types of medicinal herbs in twenty-one minutes!
If this result was placed in the previous Pill Palace Conference, it would be enough for him to take first place. However, this time, because of Qian Zhengchen, there was a big gap between him and the first place.
Very quickly, an hour passed. One by one, the competitors, regardless of whether they had finished identifying the medicinal ingredients, had all written down the medicinal ingredients that they had identified with all their might. Countless spectators were also anxiously looking at them. It was as though they were waiting to see who would emerge as a dark horse.
At this time, almost everyone had forgotten that Qin Yichen was the first to finish identifying the medicinal herbs. However, due to his exaggerated manner in identifying the medicinal herbs, almost everyone thought that he did not recognize the medicinal herbs at all.
Finally, after more than fifteen minutes, on more than a hundred platforms, except for Qin Yichen, the results of all the contestants had been announced. Shen Ling had identified one hundred and twenty medicinal herbs in an hour and was ranked fourteenth.
"Tsk tsk, this trip was not in vain for me to come all the way to Tian Long Imperial City. I have no regrets now that I've seen so many genius alchemists!"
"Yeah, after more than ten minutes of identifying, he only got four types wrong. Seeing this scene is enough for me to brag about for a year!"
In the spectators' seats, voices of people who wanted to see more could be heard.
"Hey, I remember that the first to finish was Qin Yichen!"
"Pfft, are you stupid? He didn't even try to identify the medicinal herbs seriously. What's the point of being the first to finish?"
"Hmph, if it were me, I would have finished in a minute!"
Suddenly, in the midst of the hubbub, someone mentioned Qin Yichen, who was supposed to be the first to announce the results but was almost forgotten in the end. Immediately, all eyes turned towards Qin Yichen's platform.
However, most of those eyes were filled with mockery. Obviously, everyone was waiting to see Qin Yichen embarrass himself.
"Ahem, that, are you done writing?"
At this time, the staff members on Qin Yichen's platform finally regained their senses. At this time, they also remembered this. Immediately, one of the staff members coughed dryly and asked casually.
In the face of being ignored, as well as those eyes full of banter and laughter, Qin Yichen did not seem to be angry because of this. He still looked indifferent.
"Alright, let me take a look …"
Looking at the paper that he had already written, one of the staff members coughed dryly, picked it up, and said casually.
However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank and his body trembled violently.
"What's wrong?"
The three staff members beside him hurriedly walked up. When they saw the names of the medicinal herbs written on the paper below the jade bottle, their bodies froze on the spot.
"No … No way!"
One of the slightly older staff members was the first to regain his senses. Soon after, he hurriedly ran down the stone platform. Moments later, an old man wearing the robes of the Alchemist Guild's Main Elder followed him over.
"Eh, why is the Elder here again?"
"Could it be that because his attitude is too negative, they plan to expel him directly?"
"That's hard to say. After all, no one has ever dared to be so willful in Dan Province's General Assembly …"
Seeing that even the Elder had been called out, the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves.
On the high platform, Dan Xuan and Chen Yun looked at each other. Their eyes were also filled with surprise.
The Elder walked straight to Qin Yichen's platform and snatched the paper with the names of the medicinal herbs. His eyes quickly scanned the paper. As his eyes moved, his expression became more and more serious.
