Chapter 7: The elixir test

"Why should it be invalidated? It is natural to buy and sell one by one. I spend my money myself. Do you need to take care of it? I still want to buy hers!" Su Yu frowned and stood in front of the little girl. Maybe it was because of his physical condition. +1, he actually blocked those two people. The people in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion always spoke in a condescending manner, which made him very uncomfortable.

"If she is really talented at identifying medicines, why doesn't she take the exam to become a spiritual herbalist? Aren't you afraid that her medicines are fake?" Han Dapeng looked at Su Yu coldly.

"Two middle-grade spiritual stones are needed to take the test of a spiritual medicine master. I will take the test when I have accumulated enough spiritual stones!" the little girl said stubbornly from the side.

"Haha, no matter what the reason is, you can't sell medicine unless you are a spiritual medicine master, and you can sell these herbs to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. The Spiritual Medicine Pavilion will have its own experts to identify them!"

"Selling to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion requires a 40% appraisal fee. I can identify these herbs, so why should I pay the appraisal fee!" The little girl said unconvinced, her pretty face flushed red because of her anger.

Su Yu finally understood the reason. The Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was bullying customers and monopolizing most of the spiritual medicines in Wuzhou Continent. Not only that, if ordinary people wanted to sell medicinal herbs, they had to pay a 40% appraisal fee. The appraisal is probably just a formality, but the cost is extremely high. People have worked hard to collect the medicine, so why do you get nearly half of the income directly

He had seen this kind of thing frequently in his previous life, but because ordinary people had no power, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction, so they could only do things according to the so-called "protection system".

"It's your honor for the elixir to identify the herbal medicine for you. Shouldn't I charge you a fee for the identification?" Han Dapeng was still arrogant.

"I picked this herb myself. If something happens, I will be responsible for it! Your Spirit Medicine Pavilion keeps saying that you will be responsible for the elixir, but if something goes wrong, you will only shirk responsibility and deduct the herb. These are all It's obvious to everyone, why don't you let me sell medicine?" The little girl must have been bullied very badly, and now she burst out.

"It seems that you want to toast you and you will be fined! Selling medicine privately is against the law. I will take you back now!"

"Wait a minute!" Su Yu stood in front of the little girl, "Can she sell medicine as long as she passes the exam and becomes an elixir master?"

"That's right, if you want to be tested as a spiritual medicine master, you need to pay two medium-grade spiritual stones." Han Dapeng said.

"Okay, then sign up now and take us there." Su Yu said. He still had nine middle-grade spiritual stones and ninety-nine low-grade spiritual stones left. He felt it was worth it to help this little girl sign up.

"Haha, she wants to take the test for elixir master? Come with me." Han Dapeng sneered again and again. When she failed the test, she would have more reasons to deal with it.

He has been in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion for many years, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to take the test for a Spiritual Medicine Master, and very few people can pass it in one try! And this little girl is only fifteen years old, how can she remember so many medicinal materials? What's more, he knew a place that this little girl would never be able to pass!

The little girl looked embarrassed, took Su Yu's hand, and whispered: "I... I have no money."

"Don't worry, I have it." Su Yu smiled and said,

"Thank... thank you, my name is Mu Xiaoxiao." The little girl bowed to Su Yu.

"My name is Su Yu. Do you have confidence in the assessment?"

"The elixir medicine test is not difficult. You just need to remember the names and medicinal properties of the herbs. I'll be fine!" The little girl nodded slightly and said confidently.

Su Yu nodded. The elixir master can only be regarded as a general profession. As long as you have a memory and are willing to work hard, you can become a elixir master. The advanced level of the elixir master is the pharmacist. This kind of person can not only remember the herbal medicine, but also They are well aware of the medicinal properties of herbs and can prepare them into medicines to maximize the medicinal properties of herbs. Above the pharmacists are alchemists. These people have a transcendent status, and even warriors do not dare to be presumptuous in front of them.

Since it has a monopoly on almost all herbal medicines, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion is very busy. There are a sea of people in front of the door every day, and countless people come to buy medicines and inquire about them.

After walking for about half an hour from the market, you can already see the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.

The tall and majestic building stands like a mountain, overlooking the entire Dongzhou County. At the highest point of the building is a dark flying eagle sculpture, spreading its wings and looking at the sky, as if it can take off at any time.

As we got closer, the appearance of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion looked like a church, with a horizontal plaque hanging on it, which read three large Chinese characters - Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.

Su Yu and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at each other without stopping, followed Han Dapeng and walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a spacious hall, which is very lively with people coming and going.

"Mr. Zhao." Han Dapeng walked up to an old man and stopped, looking extremely respectful.

There is no way to verify the age of this old man in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. It is only known that he has been responsible for the assessment of spiritual medicine masters in this area and is notoriously strict.

There are three elixir pavilions in the entire Dongzhou County. This elixir pavilion has the lowest passing rate for elixir masters. The so-called low is not just a little lower, but zero! No one who came for the assessment could pass.

Because Zhao Laoji was well-known, gradually no one dared to come here for the assessment, so the assessment place that should have been bustling was deserted at this time.

Han Dapeng brought them here with the intention that they would not be able to survive.

"Is someone here for the assessment?" Mr. Zhao slowly turned his head. He was sitting sideways, and Su Yu could only see his fluffy white hair. As he turned his head, he could see his whole face clearly.

His face was not as old as expected, but rather extremely rosy, with piercing eyes and a white beard under his chin. His thin and tough face gave people a sense of seriousness and awe.

"This little girl wants to take the test." Han Dapeng pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Two middle-grade spiritual stones." The old man said directly without any extra words.

After Su Yu paid two middle-grade spirit stones, the old man's face straightened, and he took out a black wooden box with a hole. The hole was only as thick as an arm. Looking from the outside, the hole was pitch black, "My assessment and other... The Lingyao Pavilion is different. Their assessment is divided into a written test and a medical examination. I only take one test!"

"There is an herb in this box now. You can only put your hand in, you can't look, you can only touch it. After each herb is correctly identified, I will put another one in. If you can identify ten herbs in a row, you will pass. ”

This rule made Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Yu dumbfounded at the same time. As we all know, the way to identify herbs is mostly by looking and smelling them. There are many herbs that can only be identified by color and smell.

I have never heard of taste recognition being able to be identified by touch alone.

It is estimated that only those alchemists who have been with herbal medicines all year round and are already familiar with them can do this.

"What I'm measuring here is my talent for sensing herbs. If you can't do it, please leave." Zhao Laowei squinted his eyes and said calmly.

"Well, let me try it." Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, looked at Su Yu, and slowly stretched her hand into the wooden box...
