Chapter 60: The Patient
The woman in red was named Mu Hongxiu, and she was one of the overseers of the Alchemy League in Yan Capital.
There were a total of nine overseers, and because they were in the same field, they were in the relationship of brothers or sisters.
Mu Hongxiu was the youngest among the nine people, so she was dealing with many things here.
She was also willing to do all kinds of things and had never complained, but when encountering major events, she still had to discuss with the seniors.
The so-called major events were naturally important enough and had enough impact.
Before, Mo Xiu wrote the names of the last five medicinal materials provided in the first round of assessments, Mu Hongxiu had looked for these seniors at that time. After all, those five medicinal materials were not particularly well understood by their Alchemy League, so it was indeed a major event.
Now, she had to find these seniors again.
After the people gathered, Mu Hongxiu directly put ten bowls of medicine on the table.
"What is this?"
One of them said, lifting the restriction on the closest bowl, and immediately saw a ray of light rising into the sky.
"This bowl of medicine can shine!"
These people here were also well-informed, but they were still amazed.
Mu Hongxiu described the process of making ten medicines by Mo Xiu in detail, and then said, "These are not the most important. The important thing is that he made the ten medicines. Please try to evaluate them. "
Everyone used their True Energy to take in some medicinal liquids, and they were astonished soon after taking them into their mouths.
"What kind of medicinal materials did he use? Why is the effect so much stronger than the original prescription?" someone couldn't help but ask immediately.
Mu Hongxiu smiled bitterly, "I didn't pay attention either. How could I have imagined that he has such a deep understanding of medicines?"
Everyone fell silent.
It took a while before someone sighed with emotion, "Why is such a good seedling a member of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce?"
Mu Hongxiu shook her head, "Whether he is from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce or not, I think he can be recommended to our Master."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, instead of rushing to express their stance, they looked at the only Profound Spirit Realm cultivator present.
This person was named Li Xuanzong, and he was the big brother among the nine.
He said after a long while of staying silent, "Don't worry, I will observe again. I will go and see for the third round of assessment."
...
The results of the second round of assessment came out.
This time, Mo Xiu still got first place with full marks, and Mo Ling'er was the second, who made nine kinds of medicine and got 75 points.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Mo Ling'er could take eighty points. After all, the effects of the several medicines she made were not worse than the original ones.
However, the ten medicines made by Mo Xiu were all too good. The effect was also much stronger than the original prescription. So with this reference, it was no wonder that Mo Ling'er could only get 75 points.
In the first round of assessment, Mo Ling'er was only five points short of Mo Xiu. In the second round of assessment, she originally thought that she could beat Mo Xiu, but she was slapped by Mo Xiu by 25 points instead. She was so depressed that she almost wanted to vomit blood.
She still remembered the kind of disdain in her heart when she saw Mo Xiu throwing the ten kinds of medicinal materials into a medicine pot together, thinking that Mo Xiu also had a stronger ability to distinguish medicinal materials, but his ability to make medicines was not worth mentioning, but who knew that that guy could turn the situation around in a blink of an eye?
After two rounds of assessments, she lost a total of 30 points to him, which made her wonder whether there was still a possibility of catching up and surpassing.
If Mo Ling'er was just so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood, then Mu Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to lift the table.
Obviously, she should be able to pass the second round of assessment, but why was she eliminated so innocently? Obviously, Mo Xiu should have been eliminated with her, but why did he pass the second round of assessment and still get a perfect score to boost at that? Was there any reason for this?
She stood in front of the bulletin board, shivering with anger.
At this moment, she saw a figure, it was Su Qianqian who had been mocked by her several times before.
Seeing Su Qianqian looking over, she coldly snorted, "Su Qianqian, are you happy now?"
Su Qianqian had already seen Mo Xiu's second-round results, so she was naturally very happy, but she was not too proud in front of her opponents.
She tried to make herself seem calm, and said, "There is nothing to be happy about, I expected this result long ago from Young Master Wuji."
After hearing Su Qianqian's words, Mu Qingqing almost fainted.
Her chest was ups and downs as she said with a sneer, "What Young Master Wuji, you really like him!"
With that, she retracted her gaze, turned and left with a tail between her legs.
But she snorted coldly one more time when she left the Alchemy League quarter, "Don't think that our Mountain and River Medical Center will just sit back and watch your Rainbow Chamber of Commerce have an extra Medicine Great Master. Even if he becomes a Medicine Great Master, he has to be alive to go back!"
...
Mu Qingqing was not the only one eliminated in the second round of assessment.
In fact, of the 52 people who participated in the second round of assessment, a total of 16 people passed the assessment and were eligible to participate in the third round of assessment.
The third round of assessment was no longer hosted by Mu Hongxiu but replaced by an old man with half-white hair.
16 people who participated in the assessment were taken to another hall, where many patients lay, as there were various diseases.
Some were pale and groaned in pain; some held their stomachs and curled up into a ball like a snake; some had burns on their faces and bodies, which were not adult-like; some were covered with dense markings as if they were infected with a very disease; some had a huge blood hole in their bodies, and only half of their lives were left...
Seeing these patients, everyone could roughly guess the content of the third round of assessment. If nothing happened, then it should be using medicines to treat illnesses and save people.
Sure enough, they quickly heard the old man say, "The content of this round of assessment is to use medicines to treat patients. Next, you will be randomly assigned to one or more patients. If you can cure the patients with your medicines, you pass this round of assessment."
As he said, his gaze fell on Mo Xiu, "I know that some of you are very good at identifying medicines and making medicines. Some of you even got full marks in the first two rounds of assessments, but what I want to tell you is, whether it's identifying or making medicines, they are all for the treatment of patients. If the patients cannot be treated, no matter how good you are at identifying and making medicine, you will not be able to become a qualified pharmacist."
Everyone naturally understood this truth. After all, no matter how good the theory was, if it could not prescribe the right medicine, then it would always be just a bunch of broken theories, which was of little use.
Before coming to participate in the assessment, everyone was also prepared.
However, seeing these patients present, everyone still had some scalp numbness.
If they were lucky and were assigned to patients who were easy to treat, it was not difficult to pass this round of assessment, but if they were assigned to patients with incurable diseases, weren't they destined to fail this round of assessment naturally?
Let alone whether there were patients with incurable diseases, it was already very difficult to cure a few of these patients present.
In addition, the person who needed to cure the disease was considered to pass the current round of assessment, so what was the cure for the patient?
Take the patient who had a huge blood hole in his body for example, was it possible that they had to restore the flesh on the blood hole?
Even if the body's flesh was able to grow back, it would take at least a few months at most or a few weeks for the minimum. Was it possible that this third round of assessment could last a few months?
Everyone was thinking like this, and suddenly they heard the old man add, "This round of assessment is limited to two hours. If the patient cannot be cured within two hours, or if the patient is treated by means other than drugs, you will not pass the assessment. In addition, please do what everyone can. If the patient is accidentally put to death, not only will you fail the current round of assessments, you will also not be allowed to participate in any of the Alchemy League's assessments in the future."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more desperate. Want them to heal the patient in two hours?
Should it be so strict?
In any case, the assessment was organized by the Alchemy League, so the content of the assessment was naturally determined by the people in the Alchemy League. Whether it was strict or loose, they still had to accept it.
Up to now, they didn't want to give up or protest, but prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping not to be assigned to troublesome patients.
After talking about the assessment rules, the old man began to read the names to assign patients:
"Spirit Medicine Valley Mo Ling'er, you are in charge of patient number one."
Patient number one was the one who curled up into a ball while clutching his belly.
Others might not be able to see it, but Mo Xiu didn't even need to use his Divine Consciousness to see that this person's illness – abdominal cramps caused by infection with a germ.
As long as the pharmacist could make medicine that could kill the germs in that person's body, that person would be healed.
There were dozens of patients in the entire hall, and that patient number one was the easiest to cure. However, the old man only assigned one patient to Mo Ling'er, which made people wonder if there was something tricky in it.
Having said that, Mo Xiu never saw Mo Ling'er contact this old man. It would be impossible to say that there was any behind-the-scenes transaction.
Moreover, Mo Ling'er gave people the appearance of not knowing this old man at all. Since she did not know him, the possibility of a behind-the-scenes transaction shouldn't be great.
Mo Ling'er did not know this old man, so she didn't think so much. After a little surprise, she immediately walked towards patient number one.
"Zhu Family, Zhu Youwen, you are in charge of patient 2 and patient 3."
"Xu Family, Xu Shicheng, you are in charge of patient 4 and patient 5."
"Spirit Mountain Medicine Shop, Ye Chaoqun, you are in charge of patient 6."
...
"Lin Wuji of Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, you are in charge of patients 31 to 35."
Mo Xiu was the last one to be pronounced, but he didn't understand this. Mo Ling'er only needed to treat one patient, but he had to treat five patients. Was this really the so-called random allocation?
His five patients were not like the number one patient in charge by Mo Ling'er, all five looked very difficult.
A patient looked very disgusting, there was a huge blood hole in his body, and only half of his life was left
What the hell was wrong with this? How come this difference was so obvious?
Others didn't seem to expect that Mo Xiu would be assigned to five patients at once, so each of them looked at Mo Xiu with a trace of sympathy.
After all, Mo Xiu had been targeted too clearly. Even if the five patients were assigned to those famous pharmacists, they would still not be able to cure them all within two hours.
Under this circumstance, if Mo Xiu wanted to pass this round of assessment, it was a foolish dream… it seemed.
