After completing the first test, the ten examinees each received a basket woven from bamboo strips and entered a huge pharmacy.
Looking around, there were rows of wooden shelves in the pharmacy and all kinds of fresh herbs were placed on them.
The tutor in charge of the second test gave each of them a prescription and then said in a deep voice, "The prescription in everyone's hands are the ten basic first-grade elixir prescriptions. Now … You can follow the prescription and choose the corresponding herbs in the pharmacy!"
As he spoke, the tutor in charge of the second test said in a deep voice, "The ranking of the test will be based on the time taken to choose the herbs. The shorter the time taken, the higher the ranking!"
Listening to the tutor's endless introduction of the test method, Yan Guilai lightly crossed his arms and leaned against a wooden shelf at the side.
On the surface, it looked like Yan Guilai was just leaning there lazily. However, the moment his body came into contact with the wooden shelf, Yan Guilai's perception had already covered the entire pharmacy.
Finally, after the tutor finished his introduction, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Okay, now I announce that the test … Begins!"
Just as the tutor finished speaking, a figure leaped out like lightning.
As he ran, the figure kept passing by rows of herb shelves. From time to time, he would reach out and pick up some green, red, or purple herbs and throw them into the bamboo basket.
Before anyone could understand what was going on, the figure had already run one round around the pharmacy and returned to the original spot.
Bang!
Placing the bamboo basket on the table, Yan Guilai said, "I have finished choosing!"
Three breaths!
Facing Yan Guilai's lightning speed, everyone stared with their eyes wide open. This kind of test wasn't just one or two years old. However, to finish choosing all the herbs in three breaths, not to mention seeing it, they had never even heard of it!
One had to know that the tutor had explained very clearly. It didn't matter if one chose slowly, the key was to choose correctly!
If one chose the wrong herb, then sorry … One would have to go back and choose again. The timer would only stop when all the herbs were chosen correctly.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, the tutor in charge of the test stomped his feet and said anxiously, "What are you all standing there for? The timer has already started! "
Hearing the tutor's words, everyone was shocked. Without another word … They ran at full speed.
But even so, they had wasted at least five breaths of time!
After taking a deep look at Yan Guilai, the teacher in charge of the assessment pulled over Yan Guilai's bamboo basket, took the pill recipe, and carefully compared it.
Soon, the instructor in charge of the assessment lifted his head in shock and looked at Yan Guilai. "Although I don't know how you did it, congratulations … You have created a new record!"
Nodding his head with a smile, Yan Gui asked, "May I know where the next test is? Where do you want to go? "
Shaking his head, the teacher in charge of the test smiled and said, "Due to limited manpower, there are only two tests today. You have already completed them."
Nodding his head in understanding, Yan Guilai said, "So, can I leave now?"
Nodding his head, the instructor said, "You have completed all the tests for today. You can leave at any time."
No way! He couldn't leave yet …
As he spoke, Chu Xingtian ran over as fast as lightning and slammed the bamboo basket in his hand on the table.
Looking at the time, the instructor in charge of the assessment said loudly, "Not bad, Chu Xingtian spent seventeen breaths of time. If this result was in the previous realm, it would be enough for him to become the champion of this round!"
Glaring furiously at Yan Guilai, Chu Xingtian said angrily, "If he hadn't just started and delayed me by five breaths of time, I would have reached twelve breaths of time!"
As he spoke, the others had also finished selecting the medicinal ingredients. The longest one had taken him twenty-three breaths of time.
Watching the instructors record the results, Chu Xingtian only felt an evil fire in his heart. It was extremely uncomfortable.
With a gloomy face, Chu Xingtian said, "I suspect that this examinee knew the location of all the medicinal ingredients in advance. Otherwise … he wouldn't be so fast!"
Yes, yes, yes …
Hearing Chu Xingtian's words, Dongfang Jun was the first to jump out. He grabbed a bamboo basket and fiercely jumped out.
Sure enough, Dongfang Jun only spent three breaths of time to rush back. The medicinal ingredients in the bamboo basket were exactly the ones recorded in the pill formula in his hand.
Pointing at the medicinal ingredients in the bamboo basket, Dongfang Jun said, "Unless he knew the location in advance, I don't believe that someone could find all the medicinal ingredients in three breaths of time."
Hearing Dongfang Jun's words, everyone turned their gazes to Chu Xingyun. Obviously, everyone believed that he must have colluded with the person in charge of the pharmacy to obtain such a result.
Facing everyone's doubts, Yan Guilai helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, "I did know the location of the medicinal ingredients in advance, but so what? The rules of the examination didn't say that I couldn't do that. "
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the instructor in charge of this round's assessment stood out with a solemn face.
Looking deeply at Yan Guilai, the instructor said with a deep expression, "If you really colluded with the person in charge of the pharmacy, then … this already constitutes cheating. According to the rules, you …"
Wait! Wait a minute …
Frowning, Yan Guilai said, "I did know the location of the medicinal ingredients in advance, but who told you that I colluded with the person in charge of the pharmacy?"
Looking at Yan Guilai with furrowed brows, the examiner said, "If you didn't collude with the person in charge of the pharmacy, how did you know the location of the various medicinal ingredients in advance?"
Facing the examiner's doubts, Yan Guilai directly stretched out his hand and placed it on the wooden shelf beside him. He smiled and said, "As long as I touch these shelves, I can sense the location of all the medicinal ingredients, and even their medicinal properties!"
Hiss …
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the examiner couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Although it was true that no one had been able to do this in recent years, a true genius had been able to do it more than a hundred years ago.
Very easily, the examiner believed Yan Guilai's words. After all … although it wasn't difficult to bribe the person in charge of the pharmacy, it wasn't that easy to memorize the location of all the medicinal ingredients.
However, although the examiner believed it easily, the others, including Chu Xingtian, refused to believe it no matter what.
In the past hundred years, such an alchemy genius hadn't been seen for a long time. Especially in the past few decades, there hadn't been a single one. Therefore … they had never heard of such an existence in this world.
Yan Guilai couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he looked at Chu Xingtian and the other five geniuses.
At present, there were more than a thousand people who were qualified to cultivate in the karst cave of Tiantai Mountain, and every single one of them possessed such abilities.
Although it was said that anyone with the wood attribute was suitable for alchemy.
Although it was also said that anyone with the fire attribute had the possibility of becoming an alchemist.
However, even the five fingers had different lengths, let alone the aptitude of a person.
