Hearing her say so straightforwardly and honestly that she was an alchemist, the 19 alchemists felt embarrassed to ask any more questions, so they started discussing again.
"I think her age is there, and she should have been refining pills for a number of years, so even if she is an alchemist, her current rank should only be at the Danzong level, no matter how talented she is."
"Yeah, I think so too. Anyway, it won't go beyond the Danzong level, so the prescription we give her will be enough to stump her as long as it is around this level."
"In that case, how about we use the recipe for the Regenerating Jade Ointment? The recipe looks simple, but the steps are complicated, and you can't be careless when mixing the medicine. If there is too much or too little medicine in any step, the resulting medicine will be unusable. The difficulty of the recipe is such that even a Dan Sage may not be able to mix it. I think using that recipe to test her will definitely make her give up."
Hearing this, the nineteen people looked at each other and nodded: "Well, let's use this recipe!"
So, they handed the prescription to Fengjiu and said, "If you can refine the medicine in this prescription between now and noon when the sun reaches the center of the mountain, you will be considered to have passed. Of course, you must follow the instructions above. If the efficacy steps are wrong, you will also fail the assessment."
Feng Jiu took the prescription and looked at it, then asked, "Is this prescription really as effective as the notes say, in removing decay, relieving pain, regenerating tissue and healing the wound?"
"Of course! This is a prescription that the nineteen of us have spent several years researching." One of the alchemists said, seeming dissatisfied with being questioned.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded and smiled: "Then I will give it a try."
So, she looked at the time and said, "Since the time is noon, I will start as well. You all can take a rest first!" She called two medicine boys to clear a place for her, and then selected the spiritual herbs on the list from the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. After gathering all the spiritual herbs, she began to make the medicine according to the steps on the prescription.
The recipe was for a plaster, which needed to be boiled, so it would take quite a while. Although she had made some similar plasters before, they were different from the one on this recipe, so with this recipe, she could almost say that she was trying to make a new medicine.
Because it was her first time making it, and she followed the steps on the recipe, after a few incense sticks of time, the ointment hissed and emitted sparks due to the amount of medicine she added during the preparation, followed by a burning smell.
Seeing this scene and smelling the burnt smell, the nineteen alchemists couldn't help but laugh.
"I said I knew she would not be able to make the jade paste that can rejuvenate the skin."
"How can anyone make that ointment? I told her before that if the dosage is slightly unbalanced, the whole pot of medicine will be ruined. She should have taken it easy, but now she has hit a wall, right?"
An alchemist nearby said with a smile, "It's not her fault. Who hasn't been young and reckless? It's already good enough that she asked us to come up with the recipe for the Regenerating Jade Ointment to test her."
"Haha, no matter what, it seems that she has to stop at this second level. This time, I can finally rest assured." An old man said, obviously relieved.
