The Medicine Emperor Pavilion lived up to its reputation as the medical examiner of the Boundless Continent. When Yun Sheng entered the examination room with the other herb-gatherers, she discovered that there were already several dozen herb-gatherers standing in the examination room.
Some of them had already participated in the examination multiple times.
Yun Sheng's sharp eyes noticed that although they were all herb gatherers, at a glance, she could see that they were divided into different grades and ranks. Some people's clothes were obviously more exquisite, and most of the people here seemed to know each other.
Cheng Sihai's herb-gatherer, Cheng Qing, knew quite a few of them. The moment he entered the examination room, he greeted the few people he was familiar with and even discussed the contents of today's examination. It seemed that most of the herb-gatherers here were acquainted with each other.
"She's the herb-gatherer of that Magic Doctor Fan Zhi." Cheng Qing pointed at Yun Sheng maliciously. He thought that Yun Sheng couldn't hear what he was saying.
But ever since Yun Sheng unblocked her second extraordinary tendon, her five senses had become more sensitive. Everything that these people said behind her back all fell into her ears.
"Isn't Fan Zhi that doctor who once killed someone? I heard that he actually tore open a person's chest. "A few herb-gatherers who were on good terms with Fan Zhi clicked their tongues when they heard his name.
Everyone spontaneously distanced themselves from Yun Sheng, as if Yun Sheng was some kind of filth.
Yun Sheng didn't mind. She couldn't be bothered to bicker with this bunch of kids.
A herb-gatherer walked in. He was the chief examiner of today's examination in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
"Silence, I'm your chief examiner today. You can call me Herb-Gatherer Kong. Most of you here are herb-gatherers of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, so I believe that you're not unfamiliar with the examination. Today, there are a total of 43 people participating in the examination. I hope that all of you will be able to become qualified herb-gatherers. Our first round of examination is to grab medicinal herbs. Everyone, follow me to the first floor. "Herb-Gatherer Kong led dozens of herb-gatherers to the medicine storehouse on the first floor.
"So big!" Yun Sheng followed the herb-gathering boys to the storehouse of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
The medicinal storehouse of the Medicine Sovereign Pavilion was like a gigantic underground parking lot. There were over ten thousand types of medicinal herbs here, and they were all neatly separated into different areas. For example, low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade medicinal herbs.
Yun Sheng's shocked expression fell into the eyes of the other herb-gatherers, and they couldn't help but laugh at her.
"When you entered the storehouse, each of you received a prescription. There were a total of eighteen types of herbs in the prescription. In the first round of the assessment, you are not allowed to use the scale to grab 18 different types of herbs. Those who accurately grasped eighteen to fifteen types of herbs will be considered excellent. Those who accurately grasped fourteen to ten types of herbs will be considered average. Those who accurately grasped nine to six types of herbs will be considered qualified. Those who accurately grasped less than six types of herbs will be considered unqualified. "After hearing the content of the test, the herb-gathering boys immediately looked at the prescription in their hands.
Medicine men were different from herb gatherers. Gathering herbs was one of their main jobs.
In the Medicine Sovereign Pavilion, there were hundreds of thousands of prescriptions coming in and out every day. Qualified medicine men didn't have the time to use the scale to grab the herbs.
They were usually able to estimate the correct amount of herbs in one go. Only then would they be able to properly decoct the herbs later on.
Cheng Qing quickly grabbed the eighteen types of herbs and passed them to the pharmacist proudly.
After the pharmacist checked the prescription, he announced, "Cheng Qing, among the eighteen types of herbs, you accurately grasped sixteen types of herbs. In the first round, you scored excellent."
Out of the eighteen types of herbs, Cheng Qing was actually able to accurately grasp sixteen types of herbs without using the scale. The other herb-gatherers were incomparably shocked. They praised Cheng Qing for being the herb-gathering boy of the Scattered Physician Cheng Sihai.
A few more herb-gatherers passed the assessment. Among them, there were two who didn't reach the minimum requirement of six types of herbs and were eliminated in the first round.
Yun Sheng passed the prescription she had grabbed over.
Pharmacist Kong glanced at her and realized that she was an unfamiliar face.
"Yun Sheng, among the eighteen types of herbs, you accurately grasped … eighteen types of herbs." Test results: excellent. "Even Pharmacist Kong himself could not believe his own eyes when he announced the results.
Needless to say, the others, including those who mocked Yun Sheng earlier, were all stunned.
"Eighteen types! Did you all hear that? That herb-gathering boy actually grasped the correct amount of herbs for eighteen types of herbs. "There were many types of herbs in the Medicine Sovereign Pavilion. Not only were there fresh herbs that hadn't been dried, there were also semi-finished medicinal stones that had been ground into powder. There were also some herbs that were even in liquid form. However, Yun Sheng grasped all of the herbs accurately.
Yun Sheng was secretly amused.
What a joke. In her previous life, when she had just learned how to walk, she had been forced by her grandfather with a ruler every day to learn how to grasp herbs. With more than twenty years of experience, how could she lose to this group of young herb-gatherers?
When she grasped the herbs, she didn't lack in weight. She was as accurate as a universal scale.
At the side, Cheng Qing's expression was very ugly. He stared at Yun Sheng's back view as he pulled one of the herb-gatherers aside and the two of them started to whisper.
In the first round, there were a total of ten people who failed. Out of the forty-three people, only thirty-three were left.
The second round of assessment was to decoct the herbs. The location of the assessment was also on the first floor of the herb storehouse. However, this time, the herb-gatherers had to decoct the herbs according to the prescription they were given.
When the herbs were brought up, Yun Sheng frowned.
There was something wrong with these herbs.
The herbs used to decoct the herbs had been changed. Yun Sheng looked at the others' herbs and realized that compared to the others, not only were her herbs lesser, even the age of the herbs was wrong. Among them, the most important herb, Liu Wei Xu, which was five years old, had been replaced by Liu Wei Xu, which was three years old.
Since the herbs were of the wrong age, the decoction was naturally wrong as well.
Cheng Qing and the other herb-gatherers looked over sneakily. Yun Sheng immediately guessed that they were the culprits.
When they saw that Yun Sheng didn't say a word and continued to decoct the herbs, the herb-gatherers all smiled as if they had succeeded in their scheme.
They would let her come out on top in the first round of assessment. Let's see how she would be able to decoct the decoction with the missing herbs.
About half an hour later, all thirty-three herb-gatherers had finished decocting their respective herbs.
Cheng Qing sneaked a look at Yun Sheng's bowl. There was only half a bowl of herbs left in her bowl. The amount of herbs was obviously not enough. Needless to say, she would be eliminated.
Just as Pharmacist Kong was about to check everyone's herbs, a young girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old walked in.
"Miss Qi, why are you here?" Pharmacist Kong asked politely.
The young girl had a graceful appearance and a sign with the words' Medicine Man 'hung on her body.
Logically speaking, Pharmacist Kong's status was higher than that Medicine Man Qi and he shouldn't be so respectful towards her.
However, Pharmacist Kong and the other herb-gatherers all looked at her with reverence. This was because this young girl was the personal medicine man of the only National Master in the Imperial Medicine Pavilion in the Jade Capital.
