Mengmeng Mountains and Seas

Chapter 173 The Unexpected Result

Compared with other crowded examination rooms, the examination room for refining medicine questions seemed a bit deserted. Looking at the past, there were only a dozen scattered candidates refining elixir using the medicine cauldron provided by the examination room.

Obviously, compared to other popular exam questions, the medicine refining exam questions can be classified as the unpopular among the unpopular, otherwise it would definitely not be the case.

Even among the dozen or so candidates who are refining elixir, the standard of more than half of them is worrying. Not only is the rhythm of adding herbs messy, but even the basic skills of adjusting the heat are messed up. The speculator who hit the big luck in the exam question.

When Mei Xue stepped into the examination room, no one even raised their heads to look at him, only the examiner of the medicine refining test looked at Mei Xue in surprise.

According to his experience, unpopular exam questions such as refining medicine are almost completely ignored after the first day. Those candidates who are prepared to come here and get one or two points will definitely not invest too much in this exam question. energetic.

Almost half of the people in this examination room today are beginners who come to try their luck, and there are only a handful of candidates who really have the ability to refine medicine.

As an examiner for refining medicine examination questions, he has experienced such situations more than a dozen times, and he has become accustomed to the trilogy rhythm of the candidates being so-so on the first day, being left out in the cold on the second day, and no results on the last day.

Therefore, when Mei Xue and Huang Fei came to the examination room, the examiner was so surprised. Shouldn't the candidates who came to try their luck today have been there long ago?

"Love Saint, this is your home field..." Looking at the group of speculative candidates whose actions were not standard, Huang Fei laughed, already knowing the result of this exam.

As far as the level of these candidates is concerned, even he is not as good as him. Obviously, they all want to try their luck to earn points.

They must not know that there is no element of luck in the work of refining medicine.If you know it, you will, and if you don’t, you won’t. It can be said to be one of the most basic test questions.

As a perfect student of Tiantai Mountain Immortal Law Academy, Huang Fei also played medicine refining when he was bored. Although his interest only lasted for a few months and then dissipated, at least he had also successfully refined primary elixir. Most of the candidates who are wasting the panacea don't know how much better they are.

As for the love saint beside him, he is the only genius who has obtained the status of a formal pharmacist among the graduates of Tiantai Mountain Immortal Law Academy this year.

A pharmacist from the authentic Yan tribe is eligible to go to some small towns to set up a clinic to dispense medicine, and they are exempt from tax.

Mei Xue herself didn't think it was a big deal, but Huang Fei, who had studied medicine refining a little, knew that the way of refining medicine was actually a branch of the ancient avenue.Among the graduates of this year's Tiantai Shangxian Law School, Mei Xue's evaluation was second only to his so-called genius.

Of course, that's all in the past.I believe that the teachers of Tiantai Mountain Immortal Law School will be shocked when they know the results that Mei Xue obtained in this exam.

This is the exam of Qinglong Academy. Tiantai Mountain Immortal Law Academy has never had a genius who has won the gold list in this exam. This time it is destined to be unprecedented.

"It smells really good." Mei Xue smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air, as if she had returned to her residence in Tiantai Mountain, the small courtyard where many medicinal herbs were cultivated.

It was in that unremarkable small courtyard that he refined many primary elixir, and finally advanced to become a primary pharmacist.

According to his life plan, in more than ten years, he will try to be promoted to intermediate pharmacist, and then grow steadily and learn, and there is about a [-]% chance of being promoted to senior pharmacist in his lifetime.

At that time, becoming a senior pharmacist was probably his most optimistic vision of his future.For this goal, he has been working hard on the ground, and even made a timetable, filling in the form with the elixir that he should learn and refine.

If he hadn't met Master Huiguo, the Dragon Holding a Candle, and the "Shan Hai Jing".

Fate is always such an incredible thing. Just when you think all the doors are blocked, there is always an open window waiting for you.

"I'm taking part in the medicine refining test." Mei Xue walked calmly to the examiner of the medicine refining test. This is an old man who is half a century old. There is not much black in his hair. The life trajectory of the elderly.

On his body, Mei Xue smelled a strange smell of medicinal herbs, which was the smell of high-level elixir that he was not yet qualified to touch, full of aura and lingering for a long time.

"Name." Most of the people who came to preside over the examination questions were assistants under the deans of Qinglong College. The one who presided over the refining exam here was the vice president of the Pharmacy College, Vice President Hua, who was born in one of the descendants of Shennong. A rare senior pharmacist in Haiqunsan.

His original name has been almost forgotten, and everyone who sees him calls him "Hua Lao".

"Mei Xue."

"Huang Fei."

Hua Lao first recorded the names of the two people, and then he was taken aback when he wrote it down, realizing something.

"Mei Xue, Mei Xue with plum blossoms like snow?"

"Yes."

For the young man in front of him, even Hua Lao, who presides over the unpopular exam question of refining medicine, is very impressed. This is one of the most dazzling stars in the entrance exam of Qinglong Academy, known as the peerless genius of the "Legend Generation".

"You also know how to make medicine?" Obviously, Hua Lao didn't know Mei Xue's background yet.

"Yes, I'm a junior pharmacist, from the Yan clan." Mei Xue answered simply and directly, and at the same time took out a talisman representing a junior pharmacist.

This is the symbol made by the Pharmacist Guild all over the world, and no one can fake it.

"Okay, okay, okay, so it's the same family." Hua Lao said three good words in succession, obviously looking at Mei Xue differently.

Those who have not set foot on the path of a pharmacist cannot imagine how boring and difficult this path is. All pharmacists who have achieved success on this path must persevere and be patient, otherwise they will not be able to control the various obstacles that appear during the refining of elixir. kind of situation.

This is also the biggest reason why a junior pharmacist can obtain the privilege of tax exemption, which has always been in short supply.

It's a pity that in this era when immortal arts are flourishing, people with a little talent for immortal arts will desperately pursue the road of immortal arts, and there are too few people who choose the path of pharmacists.

Even if it is the Yan clan who is born with the affinity of herbs, as long as the child has a little talent for immortal arts, the first choice is definitely immortal arts, not refining medicine.

This has led to a phenomenon that shouldn't happen. The more talented young people are, the less likely they will choose the path of pharmacists. On the contrary, mortals without any talent will study the way of refining medicine diligently and willingly.

However, the advancement of a pharmacist also requires the support of immortal arts talent. The better the pharmacist's immortal arts talent, the higher the success rate of refining elixir.Once you reach the level of senior pharmacist, you are a master figure that even fairy warlocks respect, because fairy warlocks also need to use elixir, and they need pharmacists to heal when they are injured.

Regarding this situation, the Apothecary Guild was at a loss. In the end, it could only reach some agreements with the major forces in the seas and mountains. It exchanged a large number of precious elixir for some talents with unsatisfactory immortal skills and ultimately unable to be promoted to immortal warlocks. Come over and use secret methods to improve their refining level, which barely maintains the predicament of high-level pharmacists.

However, the disadvantages of doing this are obvious, that is, although the methods of refining the elixir by these senior pharmacists who have been pushed to the shelves are standard, there is no change at all. Speaking of top grade, it would be a stroke of luck to even appear on top grade.

This is because they don't have any enthusiasm for refining medicine from the bottom of their hearts, and they are just medicine refining tools at the level of senior pharmacists.There are fewer and fewer pharmacists who have truly progressed step by step from junior pharmacist to intermediate pharmacist, and finally promoted to senior pharmacist by their own strength, forming a complete generational gap.

None of the fake pharmacists who were forced to be promoted to senior pharmacists by force-feeding were qualified to go one step further and become god-given pharmacists.Only a pharmacist who really works a little bit from the low level and masters all the six grades of elixir can break the barrier between heaven and man, and be lowered by the seas and mountains with the unique fairy ring of a pharmacist, and become the pharmacist of the seas and mountains. The "divine pharmacist" second only to the "alchemist" of Shennong's direct lineage.

"The test questions for refining medicine are very simple. There are a thousand kinds of medicinal materials here, as well as the sixth-grade six-patterned cloud dragon cauldron. You can choose any combination freely, and finally refine a elixir for me to grade." Appreciation is appreciation, But Mr. Hua will never open the back door for Mei Xue. What kind of points he can get depends on himself.

Elixirs can't lie, so whatever quality of elixirs Mei Xue refines, she will get the points that this elixir deserves.

"I understand." As a pharmacist, Mei Xue certainly recognized such rules.

He looked at the place where the medicinal materials were stored in the examination room, then walked over in a leisurely manner, and at the same time began to think about what kind of elixir should be refined.

When it comes to the elixir he has mastered, blood coagulation grass, which is one of the most difficult questions in the intermediate pharmacist exam, is naturally the highest.I believe that once the refining is successful, the score will definitely not be low, about five to six points can be obtained, and if the perfect quality blood coagulation grass is refined, then the score can be increased by a few points, reaching about eight points.

However, the medicinal property of the blood coagulation grass is extremely unstable. After losing the bonus of the two-winged square tripod, Mei Xue is not [-]% sure to refine it, and it is even more difficult to perfect the quality.

At this time, Mei Xue especially missed the flowing rhythm when refining medicine with Xiao Liu, and the feeling that the two of them seemed to be connected with each other. A qualitative leap.

Coincidentally, in another examination room, Xiao Liu was also thinking about the happy time when he was refining medicine with Mei Xue.For her, refining medicine is secondary, and the time with Mei Xue is the most important.

Mei Xue, I miss you... Randomly throw some messy medicinal herbs into the medicine cauldron with burning boiling water in front of her, and Xiao Liu starts her unique medicine refining steps.

Specifically, do nothing, throw the herbs in and burn them, and then think about Mei Xue, think about Mei Xue, think about Mei Xue.

The corner of the examiner's mouth twitched. He knew that Xiao Liu was the peerless genius of the "legendary generation" this time, and he also tacitly agreed that she could refine medicine as she wanted, but such a casual attitude was too hurtful.

Can this girl really know how to make medicine?

……

Well, that's it, choose blood clotting grass!Although Xiao Liu was not around, Mei Xue finally chose the most difficult elixir he knew so far, the Blood Coagulation Grass, known as one of the symbols of intermediate pharmacists.

After making the decision, Mei Xue began to quickly select herbs, several main herbs and auxiliary medicines were all selected from the medicinal material library in the examination room.

It has to be said that Qinglong College has a profound heritage. These herbs are all ten years old, or about a hundred years old. The medicinal properties of them are very well preserved, and there is almost no trace of leakage. At first glance, they are good products processed by master-level pharmacists.

After such a perfect treatment, the medicinal properties of these herbs are perfectly preserved, and the toxicity is completely removed. Even if used alone, they still have the effect of partial elixir.

If using such excellent medicinal materials and still failing to refine the medicine, Mei Xue would be the first one not to forgive her.

"Hey, good medicine, good medicine!" The expert knew if there was one as soon as he stretched out his hand. Although the level of refining medicine could not even catch up with Mei Xue's shadow, Huang Fei had learned to refine medicine seriously, so he touched it. He smelled the medicinal materials in his hands and knew that these were good things that even money could not buy in the small place of Tiantai Mountain.

You are simply chewing peonies with this kind of medicinal herb, it's too wasteful - Huang Fei looked at the candidates who had refined a pile of medicinal residues around him with contempt, and then began to prepare the medicine he wanted to refine in a decent manner.

Hua Lao looked at Huang Fei's selection of medicine, stroked his beard, and found that this little fat man was actually somewhat genuine. It would be even better if he trained and trained again. A bonus point should be fine.

This is the case with the exam question of refining medicine. Only candidates who can refine elixir are eligible to be graded. Those who can't even refine elixir are just a waste of time. It's better to go to other exam questions to try their luck.

Afterwards, Elder Hua focused all his attention on Mei Xue. Among all the candidates in this examination room, Mei Xue was probably the only real pharmacist.

The fluency in selecting medicines and the proficiency in preparing medicines are absolutely unfathomable. With just a glance, Hua Lao knew that Mei Xue's basic skills were absolutely solid, even more stable than the fake masters spawned by the bunch of pharmacist guilds. .

No, not just stability.What Elder Hua felt in Mei Xue was the aura that the group of medicine refining tools absolutely did not have. It was the aura only possessed by a true pharmacist who practiced step by step from the basics, experienced countless failures, and grew little by little.

This is the temperament that a real pharmacist should have, and only such a pharmacist who has grown up step by step can refine top-grade, top-grade, and perfect-quality elixir, and a hundred of those false masters can't add up, they will only be repeated. It's just the knowledge and postures forcibly instilled in. Everyone's movements of refining medicine are exactly the same, they are simply puppets of refining medicine.

The more he watched Mei Xue's actions, the more Hua Lao looked forward to his performance.

Judging from the main medicines that Mei Xue chose, he probably guessed that what he was going to refine was Blood Coagulation Herb, which was a battle-oriented panacea that even some experienced mid-level pharmacists were not [-]% sure of refining.

It can be said that as long as one can refine the Blood Coagulation Grass, the position of an intermediate pharmacist is guaranteed.

Mei Xue's movements were not fast, but her finger movements were accurate and full of rhythm, which was something that those pseudo-masters could never master in their lifetime. Every pharmacist had their own rhythm.

Although there was still some uncertainty before the start, once she started refining the medicine, Mei Xue forgot about everything around her and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the refining of the elixir.

This kind of selfless mentality is manifested in reality, which is absolute self-confidence.

Mei Xue believed in herself, believed that she would be able to refine the most perfect blood coagulation grass.

As a result, Mei Xue's movements became smoother, every step was like flowing water, full of artistic beauty.

That is the realm that those false masters who are used as puppets of refining medicine will never be able to reach. Although their movements are also extremely standard, almost everyone can be absolutely accurate, but the so-called "absolute accuracy" is in refining elixir In fact, it is tantamount to a mistake.

Because even if two plants of the same medicinal herb have slight differences in their medicinal properties due to differences in sunlight and growing environments, what's more, the compound elixir is composed of a variety of medicinal materials, and a little bit of error will lead to the final result. The effect of the refined elixir has decreased.

Therefore, the elixir refined by those false masters who have mastered the absolutely correct method can't even reach the top grade. On the contrary, some junior and intermediate pharmacists occasionally refine elixir of the perfect level.

That's not the difference between luck and probability, but the difference between the rigid copy-type medicine refining technique and the individual medicine refining technique with various possibilities.

In Hua Lao's eyes, Mei Xue's method of refining medicine was the most aura and perfect rhythm among all the candidates he had seen, even far surpassing many students in the pharmacy school.

Everything was so smooth, everything was so natural, when Mei Xue's hand was about to put the last herb into the medicine cauldron, the spirit herb of the main medicine had already started to slowly turn green, showing a jade-like appearance. A color that is almost transparent.

It's done!As a senior pharmacist, Hua Lao could tell at a glance that the blood coagulation grass that Mei Xue refined this time was simply perfect, even if he refined it himself, it would not be much better than Mei Xue.

What he can beat Mei Xue is probably because of the blood coagulation grass formula, which is the accumulation of experience and knowledge, not the difference in the level of medicine refining between the two sides.

Top grade?Elder Hua moved the fingers of his right hand a few times, and began to guess the grade of Mei Xue's blood coagulation grass, but quickly overturned this conclusion.

No, it's not just the top grade, but even better, more outstanding quality, that is, the top grade, and this is still in the state where Mei Xue's last herb is not used.

Well, if this last herb is perfectly mixed in, Hua Laoguang will be surprised just thinking of the result.

Could it be the perfect quality—beyond the best, the perfect combination of the medicinal properties of all the herbs, flawless, [-]% blended quality!

how can that be!
