Chapter 6 Fast pass!
Chapter 06: Pass quickly!
The old man in blue and the two middle-aged men and women seemed to have never expected Nie Kong to refuse so simply. They both looked at each other in disbelief. For the spiritual masters of the Tianling Continent, the recruitment of the "medicine platform" of the Spirit God Temple was definitely an irresistible temptation, but unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was not at all.
After a moment of silence in the room, the old man in blue sighed with regret: "What a pity. Since that's the case, let this go. Nie Kong, your cultivation is fine, but if you want to directly participate in the fourth-grade spiritual medicine appraisal, you still need to check your understanding of pharmacology and medicine. Finally, you can refine the fourth-grade spiritual medicine. Do you understand?"
Nie Kong nodded and said, "I understand!"
"Okay, then let's start."
The old man in blue stopped talking and directly signaled to the middle-aged man. Then, the middle-aged man came to Nie Kong with a wooden plate, and first placed a page of paper with handwriting on Nie Kong's desktop: "Nie Kong, there are five prescriptions here, each of which lacks one or two drugs. Moreover, there may be fallacies in these formulas, supplement the most suitable drugs and correct the errors."
Then, the middle-aged man took out five small wooden boxes from the plate and opened them one by one in front of Nie Kong. There were a small amount of processed herbs inside. "There are five rare herbs here. You need to taste them one by one and then write down the detailed test results."
Then the middle-aged man put the last white jade bottle in the wooden plate in front of Nie Kong, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Nie Kong, there is a poison contained in it, which has extremely light effect. After taking it, it will cause the spiritual power in the body to stagnate for only one quarter of an hour. You can use any method to check the medicinal properties of this poison, as long as you can successfully write a formula that can detoxify."
While the middle-aged man was talking, Nie Kong's eyes had swept all the five spiritual medicine formulas and five herbs. When he heard that the last one was a poison containing trace amount of toxicity. Although his face was silent, he was smiling secretly. For him, such an assessment was almost not challenging.
At this time, the middle-aged man's expression became solemn, and he said solemnly: "Nie Kong, you only have two quarters of an hour. Within two quarters of an hour, if you can complete these three small assessments, you can perform the appraisal of the fourth-grade pharmacist with the six of them, otherwise you will be sorry."
In just half an hour, not only did it take to fill and correct the five spiritual medicine formulas, but it also needed to taste five spiritual herbs and write down the results of the detailed medicine test, especially the antidote for a poison. The difficulty can be imagined. After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the six spiritual medicine masters next to him couldn't help but change their faces.
If it were them, it would not be possible to complete even in one day. The gray-haired old man looked at Nie Kong with some sympathy, but the others were secretly happy. This was the end of refusing to recruit the "Spirit Temple"! This guy was so disrespectful and he would just increase the difficulty of the assessment a little, so he could not afford to take it!
Want to pass the fourth-grade pharmacist assessment directly at one time? Dream!
The few people didn't think that Nie Kong could fully rank four before the three small assessments in two quarters of an hour. It is true that Nie Kong had the cultivation level of the "Eighth Spirit Transformation" at a young age, but he only gathered the first level of spirits in September of the previous year. It can be seen that he had been in contact with medicine refining for very short time, and he could never have much attainment in medicine refining. As for the "Thousand Spirit Medicine Association", he was deeply influenced by the Dacheng Empire's aristocratic race, and he could get the first name, maybe there was something tricky about it.
Nie Kong didn't know the dark thoughts of the guys next to him, and was not interested in paying attention to these things. He asked with a smile: "No problem, when will it start?"
"immediately!"
The middle-aged man smiled at the young maid and said, "Start the time." The maid nodded quickly, walked quickly to the corner of the wall, and flipped one of the five hourglasses. The sand rolled down, and the smooth "rustling" sound suddenly echoed in the room.
Nie Kong did not delay. He picked up the pen and thought for a little while, and began to write on the paper. In less than a minute, all five combinations were filled, and two formulas with a fallacy in the formula were replaced by Nie Kong.
Next to him, the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, but as Nie Kong kept writing, his smile quickly disappeared. Gradually, an unconcealable surprise hung on his face. When Nie Kong filled and repaired the five recipes, the surprise had turned into shock.
The third-grade pharmacists looked at each other. The time Nie Kong used to figure out the formula was almost negligible. He completed the first small assessment so quickly. Could it be that he was writing it randomly? But the face of the middle-aged man didn't seem to look very similar.
The few people were ready to move and wanted to look over to see what Nie Kong had written. But when they saw the old man in blue and the middle-aged woman sitting at the long table, they had to forcibly suppress such an impulse. But soon, they found that the two men had also left their seats and came to Nie Kong.
In a blink of an eye, they saw that Nie Kong had already picked up the first medicine in the medicine box and put it in his mouth and chewed it. In an instant, the eyes of several people almost fell out. The guy was still tasting herbs, but the pen in his hand had moved, as if he was writing the results of the medicine test.
"Crash!"
The six third-grade pharmacists could no longer help but slipped towards Nie Kong...
At this time, Nie Kong had already written the first test result and began to taste the second herb. For him, the test medicine was already very familiar. Last year, in order to get the spiritual medicine formula of "Yuye Leaf Glass Pill", he did a lot of such things in the "Pharmacist Hall" in Lingyu City.
Moreover, although the herbs prepared on this medicine table are unfamiliar, they have to take them out and evaluate others for their assessment, at least they can taste the medicinal properties themselves. Otherwise, how can they judge others' right or wrong? Relatively speaking, the medicinal properties of these five herbs are not too complicated.
In less than six minutes, Nie Kong's five doses of medicine were presented to everyone's sight. With such a magical speed, not only the third-grade spiritual medicine masters and young maids were stunned, but the old man in blue and two middle-aged men and women were also angrily annoyed. Even with their vision, they had never seen any spiritual medicine master with such medicine speed, and they had never even heard of it.
For a moment, the old man in blue looked at Nie Kong and became extremely eager. He was only the eighth level of spiritual transformation, and his ability to sense medicine and herbs was so powerful. If his cultivation level was improved a little, how terrifying would it be? Perhaps, there was no strange herb in this Tianling Continent that could stump him!
For the spiritual medicine master, if someone like Nie Kong acts as a medicine tester, let alone those six or seventh grade spiritual medicine masters, even the eighth grade medicine king, would probably feel like they were treasured. In my mind, the old man in blue had a desire to recruit Nie Kong again, and it became stronger and stronger.
With straight eyes, Nie Kong had already broken the poison in half and put it in his mouth. In an instant, the spiritual medicine melted.
"Um?"
Nie Kong exclaimed in surprise.
As soon as the medicine power of this poison entered the abdomen, it was integrated into the spiritual power in the body. What surprised Nie Kong was that although the medicine power had spread, it did not affect Nie Kong at all. Nie Kong's spiritual power was still unobstructed in the meridians, without any stagnation.
Nie Kong closed his eyes and sensed them carefully.
Seeing Nie Kong's appearance, everyone around him breathed almost at the same time, especially the three old men in blue, with a slight smile in their eyes.
In the third level assessment, there was finally one level that could stump Nie Kong. If this third level was also the assessment, Nie Kong would be as relaxed as before, just like eating and drinking water. This would never look good to their face. If it was passed, it might even make the heat question whether the medicine table was releasing water.
In just a moment of kung fu, Nie Kong suddenly realized that his spiritual power had been completely transformed into "spiritual treasure essence". After the poison's medicinal power entered the meridians, it not only failed to produce the proper stagnation effect on the spiritual treasure essence, but was absorbed by the spiritual treasure essence so that there was no residue left.
Nie Kong couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. If the spiritual treasure essence could absorb the power of poisons, then even if there were no little guys in the future, he would be able to avoid all poisons. However, it is difficult to make a conclusion at the moment. After all, the poisons taken now are too light, and it is necessary to verify the poison like "Eight Star Conch" or "Snake Pan Blood Lotus". Of course, this is a matter in the future, and it is better to pass the assessment as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, Nie Kong could only use the little guy's "smelling fragrance and identifying medicine" again.
"Fragrant fragrance."
Nie Kong said intimately, putting the remaining half of the poison into his mouth. Before the medicine could spread, the little guy's greenness rolled it all into Yaochi's hole. After only about two minutes, Nie Kong opened his eyes, continued to pick up the brush, and wrote the antidote formula on the paper.
Seeing this, the old man in blue and the middle-aged man and woman froze, and their eyes stared at Nie Kong's pen tip. Perhaps because he had completely considered maturity before, Nie Kong wrote very quickly. Looking at the names of the drugs that flowed out from the pen tip, the three of them smiled bitterly.
They did not expect that this third level could remove Nie Kong from the fourth-grade spiritual pharmacist identification, but they just hoped that Nie Kong would take a long time, but they did not expect that Nie Kong would find the antidote so quickly, and one of the drugs in the formula was better than the answers they prepared.
Seeing Nie Kong put down his brush with a smile, the third-grade pharmacists couldn't help but look at the hourglass in the corner of the wall, but saw that half of the sand there was not missing. Other low-grade pharmacists could not complete the third level assessment in a day, Nie Kong did it without even a quarter of an hour, and it seemed that he had done it very well. There is something incredible in this world?
