Chapter 1128 Seeing a Shocking Talent Again!
“Have you thought about which teacher you want?” asked Elder Wan Zheng.
Chu Liuyue nodded. “I wonder… if I have the honor of being your student?” Elder Wan Zheng looked slightly shocked. The elders at the side also looked over with strange gazes. “Really? You really think so?” It wasn’t weird for Elder Wan Zheng to have such a reaction. This was because although he was one of the more capable ones amongst the heavenly doctor elders, he was stricter than the rest and had higher expectations for his students. Hence, he wasn’t the most sought-after one among the students.
One had to know that heavenly doctor cultivation was very different from other aspects. In many situations, one needed the teacher’s help and guidance. In such circ.u.mstances, many people actually preferred to choose teachers who were gentler and easier to get along with.
At the very least, they wouldn’t feel uneasy and pressured all the time.
For the past few years, Elder Wan Zheng had always been doing so. He hadn’t taken any disciples in three whole years.
This wasn’t because no students wanted him as their mentor, but… Those students couldn’t pa.s.s his test. Hence, everyone was shocked at Chu Liuyue’s choice.
“You need to be prepared to take on hards.h.i.+ps if you want to be my student.” Elder Wan Zheng sized Chu Liuyue up doubtfully. “With your body… Can you do it?”
Chu Liuyue laughed lightly. “You’ll know if I can do it when you personally test me.”
Elder Wan Zheng laughed out loud. “You’re young, but you make big promises! Okay! Since you’ve said so, then… I’ll personally test you!”
Elder Wan Zheng was challenged for once and was interested. He waved his hands and took out two pieces of paper.
With a flick of his wrist, the two pieces of paper flew toward Chu Liuyue.
She took it with her hands.
Elder Wan Zheng smiled and said, “It records a formula for a pill that I recently produced! However, one of them is real, and the other is fake. If you can choose which is real, you win!”
Once he said this, quite a few people exchanged glances. “Verifying the authenticity of the formula? Isn’t that too simple…”
“What do you know!? Elder Wan Zheng wrote that formula himself! How can the difference be seen so easily?”
“That’s right! In the last three years, Elder Wan Zheng has only used this method to recruit students. With this alone, n.o.body has pa.s.sed his test even now!”
“I heard that Chu Yue was already an eighth-grade heavenly doctor at 16 years of age, so he might actually be able to…” “I don’t think so. There were also people as outstanding as him and even better, but Elder Wan Zheng still didn’t accept them.”
“I wonder why Elder Wan Zheng has such high standards. Sigh…”
Chu Liuyue looked at the two formulas in her hands.
The two pieces of paper were regular-sized, but such thin and small pieces of paper couldn’t fit the hundreds of herbs’ names on it!
After taking one look at it, Chu Liuyue realized that the handwriting was disappearing. Then, numerous lines appeared on the clean paper once again this was the content that followed right after!
For herbs and ingredients alone, the lines had appeared four times!
The fifth time, it became the handling method.
After Chu Liuyue took a rough look at it, the handwriting disappeared again.
This time, no other traces appeared again. This also meant that from start to end, although Chu Liuyue gathered all her focus and energy, she only forcefully managed to finish reading that formula.
It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to finish reading it, let alone differentiate its authenticity!
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and looked at the next formula.
The same situation happened again. Luckily, Chu Liuyue was prepared, and it wasn’t as nerve-racking or intense to read it.
Before the last line even disappeared, she had already retracted her gaze and pa.s.sed the two formula sheets over.
Quite a few people sighed and felt pity. It seems like this Chu Yue can’t do it either. That’s true. With such a maniacal a.s.sessment method, who can pa.s.s it in the world?
“You’re not looking at it anymore? You gave up?” Elder Wan Zheng took the two formula sheets and had an ‘as expected’ expression on his face. Anyway, I didn’t expect anyone to be able
“The first one I saw was fake, and the second was real,” said Chu Liuyue calmly and seriously.
“Mm… Mm? What?” Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t react in time as he looked dazed.
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly and spoke in greater detail. “Although the blood osmanthus can energize people, its medicinal efficacy will be greatly discounted when placed with white bamboo. Besides, you even put two sticks of white bamboo in, which will increase the coldness of it. There’s only harm and no benefits.”
“Besides, you can’t put berry malt and frozen stone in one after another. The smell that the former produces when it’s being refined will greatly affect the extent of ice forming on the frozen stone. If you’re not careful, the frozen stone will be completely ruined, and it will lose its medicinal efficacy.” Chu Liuyue spoke lightly and curtly.
The surroundings gradually fell silent.

Elder Wan Zheng’s eyes slowly widened.
“…Do I still continue?” asked Chu Liuyue. I’ve already said so much. Anyone that understands the heavenly doctor trade even a little can understand, right?
“Y-you… How did you discern that?” Elder Wan Zheng’s voice trembled slightly. Chu Liuyue slightly smiled. “Of course, I saw it with my eyes.”
“No, I mean,” As Elder Wan Zheng spoke, he saw the youngster’s playful smile. He’s witty and intelligent! Elder Wan Zheng’s heart beat even faster. As a heavenly doctor, he knew too well how precious the talent this youngster had displayed was!
There were people who had a photographic memory, but very few were like Chu Yue, who could not only remember the herbs but even the quant.i.ty and the order in which they were placed! The most precious thing was that he clearly knew all the properties of those ingredients and even knew how to use them! He had completely understood them!
A thought popped up in Elder Wan Zheng’s mind. I’ve finally met a treasure again!
“No need, no need!” said Elder Wan Zheng continuously. His rather stern and plain-looking face couldn’t conceal his excitement and agitation as smiles filled his eyes. “This is enough! You’ve pa.s.sed!”
If I don’t even accept such a person, I will really be punished by the heavens! Back then, I couldn’t win against the director. Now, it’s finally my turn!
Chu Liuyue blinked. Pa.s.sed? That’s all? Oh, it seems like Elder Wan Zheng’s request isn’t that hard…
If the surrounding people knew of Chu Liuyue’s current thoughts, they would definitely want to dig out her heart! You pa.s.sed easily, but have you thought about others?! Do you know how much we have suffered?!
“Okay, okay! Chu Yue! Chu Yue, from now on, you’re my Wan Zheng’s—”.
“Wait a minute!” Before Elder Wan Zheng could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted.
Elder Wan Zheng was dazed and turned around to look at the few heavenly doctors, feeling rather uneasy. Then, he heard one of them smile at Chu Liuyue and say, “Chu Yue, would you be interested in following me?”
Elder Wan Zheng grunted. They really came to s.n.a.t.c.h from me!
