Chapter 3187 - 3187 Shameless
3187 Shameless
Those nineteen alchemists glared at her while scolding her inwardly. Shameless!
Be lenient on her? And then handed her their seventh-grade medicinal pills? Then, going forward, she would demand that they obey her and address her with respect as “Young Master”? They vowed to do everything in their power to prevent her from pa.s.sing this test and not give her the slightest chance!
“How will you a.s.sess her for the second test?” Pill King sat back and watched the play with interest.
The nineteen alchemists were taken aback because they had no idea how to answer the question. They only talked about the first test because they a.s.sumed Feng Jiu couldn’t pa.s.s it, and they hadn’t even started planning how to evaluate her in the second test yet.
!!
Pill King smiled as he watched those dozen alchemists’ perplexed expressions. “You haven’t given it much thought yet, have you? You said earlier that this will include recognizing herbs, concocting medicine, and refining pills. Naturally, since she pa.s.sed the first test, recognising herbs, the second test is concocting medicine. Why don’t you just write her a prescription and let her concoct medicine on the spot?”
As soon as Pill King spoke, the alchemists looked at each other and agreed that this method could work. They talked about it and said, “Alright, let’s concoct medicine!”
So, nineteen of them got together to talk about it and figure out what kind of prescription Feng Jiu should concoct.
“She can identify a hundred varieties of spirit herbs in less time than it takes a column of incense to burn. I believe she should have some experience with medicinal pills. The medical prescription we provide her must not be too straightforward, or she will pa.s.s easily.”
“Mm hmm, that makes sense. I think we should discuss the difficulty of this list. We cannot simply write a simple medical prescription.” A second alchemist also agreed.
“But I’m not sure how much this little girl knows about alchemy. If we come up with something too easy, we’ll let her pa.s.s without much trouble. Others might see us as bullies if we make it too difficult. It seems like…”
Everyone was hesitant for some time. After all, they were not ordinary alchemists. Coupled with the fact that they had lived in Pill King’s Valley for many years, they did not want the people of Pill King’s Valley to think they were bullying the little girl.
“I have an idea! Let’s start by asking about her experience in alchemy. If she is an alchemist as well, things would be considerably simpler.” An alchemist proposed.
“Will she tell the truth? In case she lies to us, we won’t be able to know if her answer is true or not.”
“Let’s ask first and then decide.” Looking at Feng Jiu standing nearby, an alchemist cleared his throat and asked, “Girl, given your familiarity with spirit herbs, is it true that you are an alchemist?”
When she heard this question, Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed and her lips curved up slightly. “Mm, I am an alchemist.”
Everyone was taken aback. So, she was an alchemist after all? Why did she tell them so frankly? For a moment, they had mixed feelings about her because she was frank and honest at the same time.
Pill King, who was seated nearby, did not appear surprised as he listened to Feng Jiu’s answer. He only glanced at Feng Jiu and sipped the spirit tea presented by a medicine boy.
An alchemist? He had known for some time that this young girl was an alchemist, and he also knew that she was a person who was up to a lot of mischief.
He was just unsure of her alchemist rank. In theory, her alchemist rank should not be high for her age, but he a.s.sumed she was an old hand at alchemy based on her confident look and familiarity with the spirit herbs.
