Hu!
Exhaling a mouthful of air, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes.
After half a day of research, he had gained a deeper understanding of medicinal herbs.
All the knowledge that he had seen in the room earlier had now become his own, and he had mastered it thoroughly.
The Library of Heaven's Path could not only replicate secret manuals and compile them into the Heaven's Path Divine Art, it could also be used to learn knowledge quickly.
Deng deng deng deng!
A series of footsteps sounded.
"It's apprentice Zhu Hua Hua. He only passed the examination half a year ago!"
"Didn't they say that he became an apprentice of Du Man Apothecary?"
"Indeed. He must be here to announce the results!"
"Let's hope that I can pass..."
...
Upon seeing the owner of the footsteps, the crowd waiting by the door shuddered and hurriedly stood up.
"Once the results are out, we'll be able to expose your pretentious facade. Let's see how long you can continue acting!"
Wen Xue sneered coldly as she stared at the young man before her.
Honestly speaking, if not for the fact that she knew that this fellow was a profligate scion, she would have thought that the other party was truly capable.
Because... he was too good at acting!
It had been almost two hours since the examination ended, and yet, he was able to remain seated motionlessly. To attract her attention, he sure was vicious!
But... it was useless!
He had completely offended her, so it was impossible for her to change her impression of him!
"In the first examination, there are three people who passed!" The apprentice named Zhu Hua Hua walked to the door, took out a piece of paper, and began reading, "First, Sun Tao of Luyuan City, accuracy, 91%!"
"Ah, it's me? I passed... "
At the end of the announcement, a young man leaped up excitedly.
Seeing his reaction, countless people were envious.
Even though he had only passed one of the three examinations, it showed that he was already very close to becoming an apprentice apothecary.
Even Wen Xue's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Second, Qian Wen Man of Violet Cloud City, accuracy, 90%!"
"It's me..." Upon hearing those words, another person stood up with a flushed face.
"Last, Zhang Xuan of Tianxuan City, accuracy..."
Zhu Hua Hua seemed to be in disbelief. Looking at the paper carefully, he rubbed his eyes before confirming it. With a trembling voice, he said, "Accuracy... 100%!"
"What?"
"100%?"
"That means that... all of the answers are correct?"
"How is this possible?"
"Such difficult questions, but he got all of them right. Who is this Zhang Xuan?"
"Yeah, who is it?"
…
Hearing that the third person who passed the test had a hundred percent accuracy rate, the crowd burst into an uproar. They began to search for the person named Zhang Xuan.
"Alright, the three who passed, please come in for the second round of assessment!"
Zhu Hua Hua interrupted everyone's discussion and walked into the room first.
The two who had just stood up hurriedly followed.
Zhang Xuan also stood up.
"You have already told me three names. Why? Are you still unwilling to admit that you don't know anything..." Seeing Zhang Xuan stand up, Wen Xue sneered coldly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly recalled something and her eyes widened in shock. "You... You... What is your name?"
"Zhang Xuan!"
Too lazy to continue to pay attention to this superficial woman, Zhang Xuan lifted his feet and walked into the room.
"Zhang Xuan? He's … called Zhang Xuan? "
"A hundred percent accuracy rate?"
Wen Xue shuddered and her face turned pale. In that instant, she felt like a clown, making a fool of herself.
Previously, he had been saying that the other party was just putting on an act, but in reality, he didn't have any ability at all. But in the end … he actually got every single one of his answers right!
Is this for real?
Didn't you not even know what the test was about?
Didn't you say that you haven't even read the books for the exam?
Liar …
What a big liar!
He looks like a fool who doesn't know anything, but he scored full marks on the test … Big Brother, you must be joking with me!
Wen Xue felt that her entire face was burning hot, and she was about to go crazy.
"A guy who only knows how to flip through books … actually got full marks?"
Uncle Li, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes so much that they were about to fall to the ground.
F * ck!
Just now, he also thought that the other party was just here to play, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
He had never passed the exam since he was a teenager, but this guy actually got full marks …
It was truly infuriating to compare oneself with others …
"It's the guy who handed in his paper after only an hour!"
"I thought he gave up. I didn't expect him to get full marks …"
"That's amazing! How did he learn to do all of them in an hour? "
The others also recognized the other party and they felt their heads spinning.
…
Oblivious to the frenzy of the crowd outside, Zhang Xuan sat before the table once more.
All kinds of medicinal herbs were placed on the table. Most of them were rare herbs that couldn't be found in the market.
"There are a total of ten medicinal herbs on the table. I'll give you an incense's time to write down their names, attributes, and usage! For this test, you have to be a hundred percent correct in order to pass! "
Standing on the stage, Ouyang Cheng waved his hands grandly. "Time starts now!"
The second test, identification of medicinal herbs, requires one to be a hundred percent correct. In other words, out of ten medicinal herbs, a single mistake would result in elimination.
Zhang Xuan looked at the first medicinal herb.
It was a plant with green leaves, a green flower, and a green rhizome.
"Green Beard Grass!"
Recalling an item recorded in a book, a name floated into his mind.
Following which, the description of the Green Beard Grass in the Library of Heaven's Path appeared before his eyes. He casually jotted it down.
After writing down the first one, he moved on to the second one.
Even though these medicinal herbs were rare, it was nothing to his current knowledge. Soon, he had written down nine medicinal herbs, and he was just short of the last one.
It was a strange plant with yellow flowers, white leaves, and a greenish-gray rhizome.
Just as he was thinking about what kind of plant it was, he suddenly froze. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and smacked his forehead.
How foolish!
With a cheat like the Library of Heaven's Path, was there a need to go through so much trouble to identify medicinal herbs?
Stretching his fingers forward, he picked up the medicinal herb gently.
Hu!
As expected, a book appeared before his eyes. On it, the name of the medicinal herb, as well as its advantages and disadvantages were written in detail.
He casually copied it.
Following which, he touched the nine medicinal herbs that he had identified earlier with his hands.
The results were almost the same as what he saw, except for a single one.
Zhang Xuan knew that the Library of Heaven's Path wouldn't make a mistake, so he changed the answer to the correct one.
It only took him half an incense's time to finish writing everything down.
He handed the answers over.
Initially, he thought that Zhang Xuan was here to cause trouble, so he didn't think much of him. However, upon learning that he had scored full marks in the first examination, Ouyang Cheng didn't dare to underestimate him. He hurriedly picked up the answers and looked through them.
By the side, Apothecary Du Man walked over.
Looking at the answers on the paper, he verified them one by one.
He nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked through them.
Not only were the names of the medicinal herbs written down identical, the attributes, characteristics, and effects of the medicinal herbs were also identical. There wasn't the slightest mistake.
Just as he was about to compliment the other party, thinking that he would surely clear the examination, he suddenly froze in place.
"Alright, I will announce that there is only one person who has cleared the second examination …"
Soon, the remaining two examinees handed in their answers. After marking them, Ouyang Cheng scanned the surroundings and announced, "It's Sun Tao from Luyuan City!"
