Chapter 55: Examination
The Alchemy League did not belong to the power of the Yan Kingdom. As for which country it belonged to, no one knew. Anyway, almost every country had a branch of Alchemy League.
Alchemy League had a large residence in Yan Capital. Although it did not occupy the same area as the imperial palace, it should be among the best in Yan Capital.
There were various buildings, such as artificial landscapes and pavilions, halls, and yards.
Mo Xiu used his Divine Consciousness to investigate for a while and he was a little surprised. There were many Spirit Vessel Realm experts in it, and one of them even reached the Profound Spirit Realm above the Spirit Vessel Realm.
Before, he felt that the so-called four masters of the Yan Kingdom were not the four most powerful people in the Yan Kingdom.
Needless to say, Yan Wuji's cultivation base was definitely much better than the four masters of the Yan Kingdom, and there were many people in the Alchemy League who were stronger than the four masters.
However, this Alchemy League should be a bit like a detached force, usually only responsible for certifying various alchemists, pharmacists, and physicians, and generally did not intervene in secular affairs, otherwise, Yan Wuji would not be able to stand it.
That being said, this Alchemy League might not be really aloof, otherwise, it would definitely not cooperate with Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, Alchemy League bought Yang Lin next to Su Qianqian, wanted to destroy Su Qianqian through Yang Lin, and even moved the entire Rainbow Chamber of Commerce to drive Su Family out of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, which also showed that Alchemy League was not so detached.
It was clear that the Alchemy League was going to target the Su Family. After Su Qianqian and the Su Family behind Su Qianqian learned about the situation, they did not move at all. It seemed that they had no plans to seek revenge from the Alchemy League. Before, Mo Xiu still didn't understand it, but now he understood a little bit.
With the strength of the Su Family, even in their dream, they still could not seek revenge from the Alchemy League. If it weren't for the Alchemy League wanted a face, then a few words from it could wipe out the entire Rainbow Chamber of Commerce long ago, let alone the Su Family under the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
Mo Xiu's cultivation base was only on the 9th level of Foundation Building Realm. This Alchemy League residence was considered to be a 'dragon and tiger's den' for him today, but he was here to authenticate the identity of the pharmacist. The members of the Alchemy League couldn't do anything to him, so he didn't need to care about it.
Many people came to participate in the assessment and certification, including certified pharmacists, certified physicians, and certified alchemists.
As for the poison master, probably, there was no certification in this area, after all, it was not a glorious thing to master poison, and the Alchemy League could not be involved in this part.
All certifications required fees, but Mo Xiu didn't need to consider this aspect. Su Qianqian would help him handle it properly.
Afterward, under Su Qianqian's guidance, Mo Xiu went to the place waiting for the appraisal of the pharmacist status and wait in line with the people in front.
While waiting, Mo Xiu also looked around a bit.
The people who had previously called Mu Qingqing 'Eldest Miss' were all waiting in line for the physician's status assessment, and obviously, they were all here for the physician certification.
This was expected, and nothing strange. On the contrary, it was Mu Qingqing, who was the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center, that was strange. She did not come here for the physician certification, but the pharmacist certification instead.
No wonder Mu Qingqing said before that she didn't know if there was a chance to be grouped together, it turned out to be such a thing.
After waiting for a while, a person from the Alchemy League appeared and announced the start of the pharmacist status assessment.
After that, a group of twenty people was taken to different rooms.
Mo Xiu happened to be in the same batch as Mu Qingqing.
Maybe Mu Qingqing was also thinking about Mo Xiu, and looked back and found that she was in the same batch as Mo Xiu, so she showed a "kind" smile.
Mo Xiu ignored Mu Qingqing, and after entering the room, he began to observe.
This was a room that was neither ventilated nor light-transmitting. There was only one door, a podium, tables, and chairs were placed inside, a bit like a secular school.
Inside the room, there was an array that isolated the Spiritual Consciousness, to prevent candidates from cheating by using Spiritual Consciousness detection, but this was of no use to Mo Xiu. With his powerful Divine Consciousness, this level of magic array simply could not stand him.
Of course, he never thought of cheating, nor did he need to cheat.
Everyone found a place to sit down, and then many people from the Alchemy League walked in, staring at all directions as if they were still preventing cheating.
Finally, another person from the Alchemy League came to the podium.
This time, it was a young woman dressed in a red dress with a smile on her face, with an elegant and calm appearance.
She said the opening, "Thank you all for coming to participate in the Alchemy League pharmacist assessment. Let's not talk much nonsense, now, the first round of assessment."
"The content of the assessment is to identify medicinal materials. We have prepared a total of 300 kinds of medicinal materials. Only when the names of at least two hundred medicinal materials are written within the prescribed time period will be considered as a pass."
"Next, I will give you brushes and papers. I hope everyone can pass this round of assessment smoothly."
As soon as her voice fell, a few people from the Alchemy League entered and handed out paper and brush for everyone.
When everyone was ready, the woman in red touched the ring on her left hand and took out the first medicinal material.
"Storage ring?"
Mo Xiu looked at the ring that the woman was wearing on her left hand, only to realize that it turned out to be a storage ring, and it was the first time that he saw a storage ring in the Yan Kingdom. It was obvious that the Alchemy League was really different from the general force.
Soon, he looked at the medicinal materials in the hand of the woman in red, only to recognize it at a glance, and he wrote a few words, "Lantern Grass."
Others either reacted faster or slower, and they all wrote their answers on paper.
What the woman in red said was to write the names of at least two hundred medicinal materials within the prescribed time. However, the actual situation was that she only showed each medicinal material a few times, and after a few breaths, she took it back.
After the Lantern Grass, the second medicinal material appeared, Mo Xiu still quickly wrote, "Star Wheel Wood."
Then came the third, fourth, fifth...
No matter what kind of medicinal material the woman in red took out, Mo Xiu could write the answer in the blink of an eye.
This was of course not because he was cheating, but he knew all of these medicinal materials. After all, his identity as a pharmacist was not mixed with any random water. Basically, there were only medicinal materials that Alchemy League could not find, and no medicinal materials that he could not identify.
In fact, since Mo Xiu did not rise up in the Profound Sky Continent in his previous life, maybe there were some certain kinds of medicinal materials that didn't have the same name as it had another name in the Profound Sky Continent.
But the problem was not big. Mo Xiu knew exactly what the name of the medicinal material had changed. What he wrote was not the name of the medicinal material from other places, but the name of the medicinal material on the Profound Sky Continent. Nothing could be wrong.
The order in which the woman in red took the medicinal materials was obviously based on the degree of difficulty. The more medicinal materials she took out earlier, the easier it was to identify them, and the more medicinal materials she took out later, the more difficult it was to identify them.
Although not everyone could identify all the medicinal materials as quickly and accurately as Mo Xiu, in the first 100 kinds, everyone could write seventy or eighty of them.
Starting with the 101st type of medicinal material, the difficulty of identification had greatly increased, but the time for everyone to identify it had not increased. This had caused many people to start to lose their ability and gradually skip the unwritten ones.
When it came to the 200th medicinal material, more people looked at the nonexistence stars in the sky, wondering what the hell the medicinal materials the woman in red brought out were, and even suspected that they were not medicinal materials at all.
Mo Xiu was quite comfortable, even observing the surrounding situation to see who started to give up.
There were a total of 20 people who participated in the assessment in the same batch. After a glance, half of them should have given up.
Mu Qingqing of Mountain and River Medical Center was still answering, but seeing Mu Qingqing sweating profusely, it was obviously not that easy.
Mo Xiu inspected it with his Divine Consciousness and found that the names of the two hundred medicinal materials in front of Mu Qingqing were all written correctly. It seemed that the daughter of the curator of the Mountain and River Medical Center still had a certain ability.
Starting from the 201st medicinal material, Mu Qingqing had gradually been unable to write it out, but the condition for passing the first round of assessment was to write the names of at least 200 medicinal materials, so Mu Qingqing would definitely be able to pass the first round of assessment.
Mo Xiu was also thinking about what Mu Qingqing had said before, saying that she would "help" him. It seemed that the so-called "help" was probably in the second or third round of assessment.
Although there were a lot of medicinal materials that need to be identified, people only had a few breaths to identify it, so in fact, the first round of assessment was carried out very quickly, and it was over before long.
When only the last ten kinds of medicinal materials were left, only two people were left in the entire examination room. One of them was Mo Xiu, and the others, including Mu Qingqing, had already given up.
"Wind Tree Fruit"
"Perfect Jade Liquid"
"Sky Root Flower"
...
Mo Xiu continued to write the answers on the paper.
When the woman in red on the podium took out the 296th medicinal materials, although Mo Xiu was so knowledgeable, he couldn't help but froze.
It wasn't that he didn't know that kind of medicinal material, but that all medicinal materials he had read since his reincarnation had no record of that kind of medicinal material.
The other person who was still holding a pen to write the answer before saw the medicinal material and put the pen down directly. It seemed that there was more than this medicinal material, and the other four medicinal materials were not going to continue to be identified.
Mo Xiu thought for a while, and finally wrote on the paper, "Heaven Spirit Grass."
Although he wrote down the answer, Mo Xiu didn't know whether it was correct, because Heaven Spirit Grass was the name of another place. He didn't know whether it was named Heaven Spirit Grass in the Profound Sky Continent or not. After all, he had not read the relevant records either.
Probably noticed that Mo Xiu wrote the answer, the woman in red standing on the podium flashed by with a hint of surprise on her face.
Soon, she made a gesture with her eye, and one of the people from the Alchemy League who was monitoring the entire examination room took a small step forward and took a peek at the answer Mo Xiu wrote, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
Although Mo Xiu looked attentively answering his questions, every move in the examination room was under his control, and his reaction to the expressions of the two of them was naturally clear. He even found that the people in the examination room looked at him somewhat in an unusual way.
But he didn't take it seriously, just looking at the woman in red, waiting to write the name of the next medicinal material.
