Chu Chen was slightly taken aback. He hurriedly went forward and bought a piece of paper with a spirit stone. Then, he spread it out and looked at it carefully.
Every year, the Medicine Palace's freshmen trial was an unparalleled event for all the pharmacists in the world.
In theory, although every pharmacist had the possibility of successfully becoming a disciple of the Medicine Palace, the number of people who could actually fulfill this wish was very, very small. It was so small that it shocked Chu Chen!
Every year, the Medicine Palace would only recruit one hundred disciples!
Every year, the number of people who signed up for the Medicine Palace's trial was in the tens of thousands! For example, this year, the number of disciples who signed up for the Medicine Palace's trial had already exceeded fifty thousand! Out of fifty thousand people, only one hundred could be selected. This probability of eliminating disciples was shocking, but it still did not prevent generations of pharmacists' disciples from participating in the trial.
Out of these one hundred people, fifty of them were called the "Substitute Disciple List". In other words, these people were almost predetermined disciples of the Medicine Palace. As long as their performance in the trial was not too bad, it was already a certainty that they would become a disciple of the Medicine Palace.
This fifty Substitute Disciple List was specially prepared for those amazing geniuses. There would never be a shortage of geniuses in this world. Every year, the Medicine Palace would send a large number of people to scattered all over the world. Once they found some young talents who were extremely talented in the way of medicine refinement, they would record them and observe them for a long time.
If after a year of observation, they felt that this person was indeed a promising talent, they would issue an "Invitation to the Substitute Disciple List" to the Medicine Palace. They would then become a Substitute Disciple.
In layman's terms, these Substitute Disciples were actually "seeded players"!
Out of the one hundred people, the fifty Substitute Disciples took up a full half of the total number. In other words, out of the fifty thousand disciples who signed up for the trial, only fifty could really succeed! This was the real one out of a thousand!
The Substitute Disciple List in Chu Chen's hands contained detailed information about the top fifty Substitute Disciples in this year's trial.
When he opened the file, the first thing that came into view was a line of small shining words.
"First place of the Substitute Disciple List in the Medicine Palace Trial: 'God Hand' Murong Zhangfeng. The current Young Master of the Murong Clan. The young pharmacist with the most potential in the continent. Reaching the Spirit spring stage at the age of seventeen, his future is limitless. "
"Second Substitute Disciple: Lin Kui, Clan unknown, Cultivation unknown. His natural disposition is indifferent, but he has a unique understanding of pharmacology. Once, when he was just a beginner pharmacist, he successfully refined a 'fourth level upper grade' medicinal pill, creating an impossible miracle and stunning everyone. "
"The third candidate disciple, Bai Qing. His clan is unknown. He is suspected to be an independent alchemist. When he was young, he had a fortuitous encounter and obtained the inheritance of the ancient alchemy grandmaster, Bao Puzi. His alchemy skills are unique. His personality is arrogant, an expert of the Spirit spring stage. "
"Fourth candidate disciple: 'Old Ungodly' Li Taixin. His family is unknown. He is suspected to be a freelance pharmacist. He had been immersed in the dao of alchemy for sixty-four years. Although he was old, his understanding of the dao of alchemy was endless. In just a short year, he had refined one hundred and eight grade three medicinal pills. He was the alchemist who produced the most and fastest high-grade medicinal pills. If he received the guidance of a great teacher, his future is limitless.
"Fifth candidate disciple: 'Prince' Huangfu Yun. A prince of the Great Liang dynasty. The most potential pharmacist of the Great Liang dynasty in the past three hundred years. At the age of sixteen, he broke the record set by the ancestors of the Great Liang imperial family as the fastest to become a high level pharmacist. His talent in alchemy is outstanding. He is an expert of the Void spring stage. It is estimated that he will be able to break through to the Spirit spring stage in three months."
… …
At a glance, the top ten people of the [Complete Record of Substitute Disciples] were all experts of the Void spring stage or above. Chu Chen could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
How did this group of geniuses cultivate? When did the young experts of the Void spring stage become so common. Just in the training grounds of the Medicine Palace, there were already ten of them. If they really entered the Medicine Palace, then what would happen?
His gaze continued to look. In reality, other than the top ten genius pharmacists, the other people were still within the range of Chu Chen's acceptance. Facing these people, he did not dare to say that he had a hundred percent chance of winning, but he most likely had more than a hundred percent chance. The ones who were truly worthy of his attention and caution were only the top ten experts.
Other than that, it was worth mentioning that when Chu Chen's gaze skimmed to the end of the list, he actually discovered this line of information:
"Substitute Disciple No. 49, 'Little Fairy' Shen Qian. The successor of the Shen family of Xuanyue. She has a lively personality and a beautiful appearance. She has a great reputation among the new students. She has inherited her family's Xuanyue cultivation method. She has fused her cultivation method with the art of alchemy. She has tentatively grasped the unique Xuanyue alchemy technique. Although she is still a little rusty, her future development is limitless. Once the Xuanyue alchemy technique is mastered, it is not impossible for her to become a saint of alchemy. The Medicine Palace will focus on nurturing her. "
This was something that Chu Chen did not expect. Young Miss Shen Qian was actually on this waiting list? He did not expect that not only did she make a name for herself in the illusory little fairyland, but her alchemy technique was also so powerful. This made Chu Chen have a whole new level of respect for her.
It seemed that this belligerent young girl had many sides that he did not notice.
Chu Chen put away the scroll and turned to walk back to the hotel that he had booked.
When Chu Chen returned to the hotel, it was already very late at night.
Most of the rooms in the hotel had already turned off the lights and gone to bed. When Chu Chen saw so many people signing up, he could imagine that the Medicine Palace trial must be extremely cruel. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be such a huge elimination rate.
Therefore, it was very important for every alchemist to rest in time and conserve enough energy to face the unknown challenges.
When Chu Chen returned to his room, he found that Shen Qian had also gone to bed. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as this little fairy did not cause trouble for him.
In order to not disturb Shen Qian, who was already sleeping soundly, he quietly lay down on his bed.
Suddenly, a faintly discernible fragrance lingered in his nose.
This master and servant suite was not very big. Therefore, Chu Chen's bed and Shen Qian's bed were not very far apart. At most, they were less than ten feet apart. At such a close distance, he could even hear each other's breathing clearly.
Speaking of which, this was the first time in his life that Chu Chen had slept in the same room as a girl. He could not help but have a strange feeling in his heart. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Qian lying on the bed in the dark. Her expression was calm and indifferent. There was a quiet side to her that could not be seen during the day.
