A quarter of an hour was neither too long nor too short. Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan were able to distinguish a total of two hundred and twenty nine herbs, making a total of sixteen mistakes. This kind of ability to distinguish herbs was already very impressive.
For many alchemists, being able to have half their speed in such a short time was already quite good.
Yang Wu was much faster than them. They needed to observe a few herbs to distinguish them, but Yang Wu did not need to do so. He had been reporting the herbs and their medicinal properties. The amount was not less than Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan, but they did not know how accurate he was.
The middle notary went to Yang Wu's side and began to confirm the herbs he had just identified. Following his inspection, his old eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan both stared at the middle notary, waiting for him to announce the results.
Yang Wu indifferently crossed his arms in front of his chest. He did not care about the results at all because he already knew what the results would be.
After a while, the middle notary cleared his throat and announced: "Grandmaster Yang has distinguished a total of two hundred and thirty herbs. His accuracy is one hundred percent."
"Wow!"
In an instant, the surrounding people were in an uproar.
Who would have thought that Yang Wu would be able to distinguish so many herbs in such a short time without making a single mistake. This record was absolutely amazing.
Only the members of the Death Legion were incomparably calm. They did not seem to be surprised by this result at all.
Two alchemists competing with a Medicine King in alchemy, if they were not looking for trouble, what else could they be doing?
"Impossible!" Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan both cried out involuntarily.
"If the two grandmasters do not believe, you can personally come and appraise." The middle notary invited.
Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan walked over to confirm the final result.
They really could not believe that not only did Yang Wu distinguish one more herb than the two of them, but his accuracy was also one hundred percent.
After they seriously compared the herbs on the ground and the recorded herbs' names and medicinal properties, their faces lost all color. They had completely lost.
"The two of you, my notarization is correct, right?" The middle notary asked in a low voice. His face had a bit of a look of wanting to take credit.
The two men's faces seemed to have been slapped by the notary in the middle. They were in so much pain that they wanted to curse at him. "We know. Don't mention it again, okay?"
This was not the main point. The main point was that they did not have so many Xuan Spirit Stones on them. What should they do?
In the past, when they came here to trade herbs, it was actually a case of taking by force or trickery. Every time, they would buy on credit with these stall owners, and in the end, they would not know what to do. Who told their Medicine King Hall to be so powerful that ordinary stall owners would not dare to make a sound?
Yang Wu looked at Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan and said, "You must accept your loss. Take out the Xuan Spirit Stones and settle the bill for the herbs here."
"Senior … Senior Brother, I … I didn't bring any Profound Spirit Stones. Can you lend me some first? I'll return them to you later." Wu Nan whispered into Zhang Huojie's ear.
When Zhang Huojie heard this, he wanted to send Wu Nan flying with a slap. He still lacked someone to lend him Xuan Spirit Stones.
"Yang … Yang Wu, us brothers will first owe you the Xuan Spirit Stones. When we return, we'll send them to your residence. You can take all the herbs here. No one will dare to say a word." Zhang Huojie gritted his teeth and said.
Yang Wu laughed involuntarily and said, "So you guys don't have any Xuan Spirit Stones on you. Didn't you guys shout so loudly earlier that you wanted to bet Xuan Spirit Stones with me? You guys are playing with me! "
The eighteen people behind Yang Wu took a step forward. That thick murderous aura locked onto Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan, scaring them so much that they trembled. They were afraid that these people would pounce on them and chop them up.
"No, no … As the Medicine King Hall's Spirit Alchemist, I will definitely not play with you. Here are a dozen Xuan Spirit Stones for you to take first. I'll definitely repay you later." Zhang Huojie quickly responded.
Wu Nan also said, "Yes, yes. Our Medicine King Hall's reputation is there. We definitely won't owe you this little bit of Xuan Spirit Stones."
As Spirit Alchemists, it was not difficult for them to earn some Xuan Spirit Stones. It was a pity that they did not check the almanac when they went out today and bumped into Yang Wu. They deserved to be unlucky.
When the two of them said this, the stall owners here all rolled their eyes in disdain. They cursed in their hearts, "If you Medicine King Hall's people have credibility, the sun will rise from the west."
Yang Wu was not so easy to fool. He himself did not lack this little bit of low-grade Xuan Spirit Stones. With a sullen face, he waved his hand at the people beside him and said, "Strip them naked and throw them back to the Medicine King Hall."
"No, you can't do this. I am the third disciple of the Medicine King Hall's Pavilion Master. My status is noble. If you offend me, you won't have it easy either." Zhang Huojie said in a panic.
Wu Nan also said, "Let's talk things out. I can go back and persuade my Master. When the day of your pill refining competition comes, I'll make sure you don't lose so badly. How about it?"
Yang Wu didn't want to talk nonsense with them. The Death Legion was already on the move. They captured them and tore off their clothes. They wanted to resist, but it was useless. Their strength couldn't withstand a single blow from the Death Legion.
"No, Yang Wu, you're so ruthless. Our Medicine King Hall will not coexist with you."
"I've already suffered once. Do you want me to live again?"
…
No matter how Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan struggled and screamed, they could not avoid being stripped naked and taken away.
The stall owners here all clapped their hands and cheered in their hearts. Yang Wu did this for them to vent their anger.
Yang Wu did not continue to pay attention to them. In his eyes, the two of them were just jumping clowns. They were not worth mentioning at all.
Then, Yang Wu said loudly, "Everyone, gather the herbs in your hands. Other than those useless herbs that have already festered, I'll take the rest."
There were many herbs here, but most of them were ordinary herbs. There were some old herbs and a small number of spirit herbs. The total value of all these herbs was not very high. With his financial resources, it was not a big problem to take them all.
The stall owners here all looked panicked and did not immediately move the herbs. They were afraid that Yang Wu, like the Medicine King Hall, would buy on credit. They did not want to sell.
The old man who acted as the middleman just now asked, "Master Yang, do you really want to buy all the herbs here?"
"Of course. Are you not willing?" Yang Wu asked back.
"No, no, we're all willing. But do you have so much money?" The old man looked embarrassed and asked back.
"Oh, so this is what you're worried about." Yang Wu instantly understood. After responding, a stack of Great Xia banknotes appeared in one hand and a pile of Xuan Spirit Stones appeared in the other.
At this moment, the eyes of the stall owners lit up. One by one, they started to move the herbs for Yang Wu.
These Great Xia banknotes were exchanged with gold and silver that Yang Wu obtained from the Barbarian Tribe. It was convenient for him to use in Great Xia. At that time, he had made a fortune from the Barbarian Tribe. There were even more treasures that he collected from the dead. He was not filthy rich, but it was more than enough to buy all the herbs in front of him.
"Everyone, don't push, and don't bid recklessly. You all know this Lord's eyesight. If anyone dares to cheat this Lord, you will end up like those two clowns from the Medicine King Pavilion." Yang Wu reminded the stall owners who were scrambling to be the first.
"Don't worry, we won't bid recklessly."
"That's right. We are sellers and we speak with our conscience. How can we be as shameless as the people from the Medicine King Hall?"
…
After hearing what Yang Wu said, some stall owners who intended to speculate hurriedly reported their numbers obediently and did not dare to act recklessly.
The people from the Medicine King Hall had been dealt with by this Lord before them. How could they still have the guts to play tricks in front of him?
After an hour, Yang Wu finished collecting all the herbs on this stall.
This made the people who came to trade for the herbs in vain. They all exclaimed, "Earl Shaowu is really generous."
The value of the herbs here belonged to the middle and lower levels, but it was not like anyone could buy them all. Yang Wu's method was indeed amazing.
Yang Wu returned with a rewarding journey and was in a rather good mood.
The herbs here were worthless in the eyes of many people, but to an alchemist like him, they could bring out their greatest value. The returns were far higher than the price he had to pay.
At the same time, he was thinking that he should refine a batch of medicinal pills to sell and earn some money first. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to purchase herbs in the future.
Although there were some herbs in the Medicine Hall's storehouse, it was far from meeting his requirements.
In addition, he provoked the Medicine King Hall's disciples like this today to slap the Medicine King Hall's face. He wanted to find out where the Medicine King Hall's bottom line was and see how strong the other party's foundation was. He wanted to see if he could take them down in one fell swoop.
It had to be said that Yang Wu's ambition was not the ordinary kind of big.
After Yang Wu returned home, he began to refine some low-level medicinal pills in seclusion, using up the herbs he had purchased first.
…
Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan returned to the Medicine King Hall dejectedly. They had lost all face and did not dare to report the situation to their master.
But it did not mean that Yao Lingyu did not know. He was more well-informed than anyone. He called the two of them over and scolded them first, then asked about the situation.
After Yao Lingyu heard about Yang Wu's ability to distinguish herbs, he sank into deep thought, his brows knitted tightly.
When an expert made a move, one would know whether or not he was skilled.
Yang Wu was known by the military as the Young Medicine King. Originally, he didn't look down on Yang Wu, but he thought that Yang Wu was just lucky enough to be able to refine a low-level King Pill. In his opinion, it wasn't much. But now, after seeing Yang Wu's ability to distinguish between medicines, he couldn't help but think more highly of him.
To be able to distinguish so many herbs in a quarter of an hour and achieve a hundred percent accuracy, he could barely do it. But he had been in contact with herbs for more than thirty years, and the other party was only a youth who was almost eighteen years old. He could not help but suspect that Yang Wu's body was hiding the soul of a seventy or eighty year old.
'Looks like I have to treat this Count Shaowu more seriously. Otherwise, it would not be fun to fail miserably.' Yao Lingyu thought seriously in his heart.
