"You..."
Hearing those words, Wen Xue felt her chest heaving up, and she felt as though she was about to explode.
I can tolerate you flirting with me openly, but I can tolerate you intentionally wasting my time... If you want to leave a good impression with me, you should at least appear to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable!
Yet, you claim that you want to take the apprentice apothecary examination, but you don't even know the content of the examination and what books you are going to read... Do you dare to ask more openly?
"What's wrong? You don't know either? If you don't know, I'll ask someone else! "
Seeing her chest heaving up and down as though a ventilator, Zhang Xuan was dismayed.
Is there something wrong with this woman? If you know, you should tell me in detail. It's fine if you don't know, but why do you have to be so flustered?
Seeing the other party's' don't try to fool me if you don't know anything 'expression, Wen Xue nearly went insane.
Fine, I'll let you continue acting. I'll make sure you embarrass yourself later on!
Suppressing her rage, Wen Xue explained, "To take the apprentice apothecary examination, you have to memorize the medicinal properties and characteristics of a hundred thousand medicinal herbs, as well as the history and origin of an apothecary..."
Apothecary is an occupation that deals with medicinal herbs. If you don't even recognize medicinal herbs, how can you forge pills?
The continent is vast, and there are innumerable medicinal herbs. A hundred thousand might seem like a lot, but it is only the most basic of knowledge. There are some apothecaries who spend their entire lives dealing with medicinal herbs, and even they are unable to recognize most of them, needless to say, apprentice apothecaries.
"That's all? That's simple! Where can I find the books on these medicinal herbs? I'll take a look now! "Hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
As long as there were books, the Library of Heaven's Path would be able to compile them into books and record them into his mind.
If that was all, it would be a piece of cake for him.
This is an ability that is many times more powerful than Retentive Memory.
"Simple?"
Wen Xue's mouth twitched. If not for the fact that the other party was a customer and she was just a receptionist, she would have long made a move on him.
Every medicinal herb has its own unique characteristics, and when paired with other medicinal herbs, it will produce all kinds of reactions. Just memorizing a hundred thousand medicinal herbs is already a frightening feat, needless to say, the properties of these medicinal herbs. Even though she has a good memory, she can't remember all of them even after several years. It is easy for her to confuse the examination!
You, a profligate who only knows how to pick up girls, actually said that it is simple?
Pretend, continue to pretend, let's see how you clean up the mess later!
"There are books for sale in the apprentice assessment area. Come with me!"
She concluded that the other party was deliberately boasting to draw her attention, so she wasn't as angry as before. With a cold smile, she took the lead and walked forward.
Not too long later, they arrived at a spacious room with the words' Examination Hall 'written on it. A middle-aged man was seated at the entrance, reading a book.
The examination hall was a place for apprentice alchemists to take their examinations, and no one was allowed to enter.
This middle-aged man also wanted to take the apprentice apprentice examination. He had persisted for more than twenty years, but he had never succeeded. Just like Wen Xue, he had been working while studying.
Not being able to pass the test after twenty years was enough to show how difficult it was.
"Uncle Li!" Wen Xue stopped.
"You're here. Are you here to buy books or to take the test?"
The middle-aged man called Uncle Li raised his head and smiled.
"It wasn't me, it was this mister. He said he wanted to take the apprentice alchemist examination!" Wen Xue sneered in her heart as she pointed at Zhang Xuan.
Didn't you say you wanted to take the test? I'll register you right now. Since you don't know anything at all, let's see how you're going to deal with this later!
The apprentice alchemist examination is a question set by the apothecary himself. If you don't know anything at all, this is equivalent to challenging the apothecary. If you were to incur the wrath of the apothecary, you'll be in tears …
"You want to take the test?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Xuan and frowned.
He had studied for more than twenty years, but he was still unable to pass the examination. This fellow looked to be in his late teens, what was he going to take the test for?
"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Only by becoming an apprentice alchemist would one be able to enter the basic tier library of the Apothecary Guild. Left with no choice, he could only take the test for fun!
If the two of them were to know of his thoughts, they would definitely spurt blood and die on the spot.
We study and memorize books every single day, and even after several decades, we still wouldn't be able to do it. Yet, you want to take the test without reading a single book, and you want to take it for fun … Is it alright for you to put on such an act?
"The registration fee is two thousand gold coins. If you pass, I'll refund it to you. If you don't pass, I won't refund it to you! This is to prevent people from wasting our time if they don't know anything at all! "
Seeing the other party's confirmation, the middle-aged man, Uncle Li, explained the rules.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan casually took out two thousand gold notes and passed them over.
After gambling and robbing the swindler, Yang Mo, his current net worth was considerable. Two thousand gold coins wasn't much at all.
"He is indeed a rich profligate!"
Seeing the other party casually take out the money without any hesitation, Wen Xue was even more certain of her judgment.
Two thousand gold coins. If it were them, they would have to work for a long time before they could amass such a sum. Yet, this fellow casually took it out just to attract her attention. If he wasn't a profligate, what could he be?
However, it was a pity that no matter how much money he had, if he were to use it in the wrong direction, not only would it fail to achieve the desired effect, it would even turn into a joke!
"Un!" Taking the money, Uncle Li nodded his head. He had Zhang Xuan fill in a form to record his personal information before saying, "There's a batch of examinees today. However, it will be held four hours later. You just have to come here four hours later!"
"Four hours?"
It took him two hours to get here from the academy. Naturally, it was impossible for him to return. Thus, he turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you have any books for apprentice alchemists here? Can I take a look at them here? "
"You want to sharpen your spear at the last minute? Sure! That room is filled with books. Feel free to take a look at them! However, there's still four hours before you start reading. Isn't that a little too late? "
Uncle Li pointed behind him.
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw a huge row of books behind him. There were more than a dozen bookshelves, and there were more than ten thousand books there.
"So many books?"
It was no wonder why the apprentice alchemist examination was so difficult. Putting aside memorizing them, just reading these books would tire one to death!
"I just want to take a look, there's no need for me to buy them …" After which, Zhang Xuan walked into the room.
To him, books didn't cost him any money. With just a casual flip, he would be able to imprint his knowledge into the Library of Heaven's Path. Why would he need to buy them?
"You sure can hold yourself back. I'll see how long you can keep up your act today!"
Seeing how the other party still put on an act and said that he wanted to take a look even after seeing so many books, Wen Xue sneered coldly.
To be honest, she had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such a shameless person before!
Despite knowing nothing at all, he still dared to register for the apprentice alchemist examination so brazenly. Putting aside that, he even said that he wanted to take a look at the books …
If he wasn't putting on an act, anyone who saw so many books would probably feel fear in their heart, thinking that it was an impossible mission!
Nearly ten thousand books … It would take half a day just to move all of them, let alone take a look at them!
Since you are so shameless, I'll just watch you act cool quietly.
At the very most, I'll just have my wages deducted today. I'll make sure you embarrass yourself!
Let's see how you're going to smooth things over four hours later!
Wen Xue was so infuriated by this fellow that she decided to go all out against him.
