Chapter 34: The Gap

In the center of the first floor of the Yaowang Tower, there is a stone platform with a radius of five zhang, and Luo Chuan and Sun Yaoshi sit on it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the stone table in front of the two of them, pen and paper were placed for answers.

The rest of the pharmacists gathered around the stone platform, some with disdain, some nervous, and some with interest, as if it was the first time they had seen a contest between pharmacists.

Under the witness of everyone, a dark blue starlight fell from the top of the tower and sprinkled between Luo Chuan and Sun Yaoshi.

"The grass and trees are together, the changes are endless, since both sides of the competition today are disciples of the Ling Sword Sect, then the scope of the competition questions is set in this Xiaoqi Mountain. ā€

An incomparably solemn voice suddenly sounded in the room, and although no one saw the speaker's appearance, some traces of time could be heard in his tone.

"Next, I will show you 100 kinds of herbs, and the one who can identify more herbs will win if the number is the same, and the one who will take less time will win if the number is the same. ā€

Hearing this, Luo Chuan and Sun Yaoshi nodded at the same time.

"The disciple understands. ā€

As the words fell, the faint blue starlight faded and faded until it became completely transparent, leaving only a thin layer of light like a cicada's wings.

And inside the transparent wall of light, a gray grass vine appeared without warning.

After ten breaths, the vine vanishes without a trace, and in its place is a brightly colored flower shaped like a bell.

……

Time passed quietly, and no one in the audience spoke, only the sound of hard writing.

The various plants and vegetation in the transparent wall of light as the exam questions are changed every breath, without repetition or superfluous pauses, which is dazzling and dizzying.

After the thirty kinds of plants and trees were displayed, the pharmacist who was already watching couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his astringent eyes, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Even if they already have the qualifications of a pharmacist, it is a little difficult to continue at this time.

Although the assessment content of the second layer of the Medicine King Pagoda is also to distinguish medicines, there is no time limit, as long as you can recognize a sufficient number of herbs, even if you spend three days and three nights in it, there is no problem.

In fact, there are many pharmacists who did this in the first place.

But in the current fast pace of ten breaths, some pharmacists who do not have a solid foundation are immediately exposed.

Soon, the number of plants and trees displayed in the light wall exceeded fifty.

At this time, even many second-grade pharmacists were defeated.

"It's too hard, it's really hard. Most of the herbs that appear in this are the ones we don't usually use, or the quantities are extremely rare, even I can't make out all of them. ā€

A second-grade pharmacist surnamed Li sighed and quickly closed his eyes to regain his senses.

Someone next to him immediately chimed in: "Yes, according to me, even the old grandson is good to be able to recognize the Eight Achievements among the hundred herbs." ā€

As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately approved by most pharmacists.

But at the same time, some people looked confused: "I have also seen other pharmacists compete in the past, and the questions in the school examination are very normal, and they will not be as perverted as this time, what is going on today?"

Pharmacist Li only opened his eyes at this time, shook his head and said: "Maybe the person who wrote the question knows the strength of Pharmacist Sun, in order to prevent a draw, so it is more difficult to answer the question, if Pharmacist Sun can't answer it all, then it is even more impossible for that Luo family kid to answer it all." ā€

When the words fell, everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, a third-grade pharmacist also withdrew from watching, and said with a wry smile: "If you want me to say, this competition is more difficult than climbing those four floors!"

Hearing this, the other pharmacists suddenly felt related, you know, the person who said this was a dignified three-grade pharmacist!

Even if it is placed in the entire Qingzhou territory, it is a rare existence!

"From this point of view, just talking about this ability to distinguish medicines, I'm afraid that Pharmacist Sun has more than the strength of the five grades, and among us people, only he can distinguish all the hundred herbs!"

"yes, yes...... Fortunately, it was Pharmacist Sun who participated in the competition, if it were me, I am afraid that I would have already embarrassed our pharmacy......"

But having said that, there are still many high-quality pharmacists in the field who are struggling and never give up.

In particular, a few people of the same rank as Pharmacist Sun have a faint sense of competition, and they also want to pass this competition to test how big the gap between them and Pharmacist Sun is in this theory of plants and trees.

As for surpassing Pharmacist Sun, no one dares to think so.

After all, now on the second-story tower of the Medicine King Tower, there is still an auspicious cloud emblem unique to Pharmacist Sun!

In the whispers of everyone, all the hundred herbs were finally displayed, and it was not until this time that someone finally paid attention to Luo Chuan.

"Look, the boy from the Luo family has read all the hundred herbs?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at Luo Chuan, and sure enough, Luo Chuan at this time just withdrew his gaze from the light wall and fell back to the answer sheet that had been filled in densely in front of him.

"Hmph, it's just pretending! If you just read the hundred herbs, you can do it even if you find a country man!"

Pharmacist Li's words were immediately recognized by everyone.

After reading and discerning, there is only one word difference between the two, but the realm represented is a heaven and an underground.

Why can't even the Sanpin pharmacist insist on the display of 100 herbs?

In addition to the fact that the question of this competition is too biased and difficult, the more important thing is that the pharmacist's consumption of the mind in the process of distinguishing the medicine is extremely terrifying.

They first need to recognize the name of the medicine by the shape of the herb, and then associate it with its efficacy, function, year and other information, which is not something that can be done by just anyone.

Therefore, being able to distinguish fifty kinds of herbs is already the limit of a second-grade pharmacist.

As for Luo Chuan, he can't even be a pharmacist now, how many herbs can he discern?

Ten or twenty?

This is still a situation where everyone already thinks very highly of him.

To say that Luo Chuan is really like Pharmacist Sun, or like the other five-grade pharmacists present, who has identified all the hundred herbs, no one will believe it.

So for a while, all the pharmacists already regarded Luo Chuan as the kind of bluffer.

It's a pity that the battle of medicine identification at this time has not yet ended, so they can't see Luo Chuan's expression after being exposed on the spot for the time being.

The time limit for distinguishing medicine is one stick of incense, which is far more than the time taken to display a hundred kinds of herbs, so at this time, whether it is Pharmacist Sun or Luo Chuan, they are still continuing to answer questions.

After all, it's still a bit embarrassing to want to write all the information about a herb in ten breaths.

So the mysterious questioner very reasonably reserved some time for the two to supplement the answers, and also gave them the opportunity to check the answers.

While the final result had not yet been revealed, a good deed could not help but ask a five-grade pharmacist outside the stone platform, "Pharmacist Wang, how many herbs did you identify before?"

Hearing this, many people looked at Pharmacist Wang with curiosity on their faces.

After all, this Pharmacist Wang and Pharmacist Sun are both five grades, and it can be said that the strength is between the best, although in terms of grass and tree theory alone, Pharmacist Wang must be inferior to Pharmacist Sun, but it is not far behind.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, Pharmacist Wang was also secretly proud, and symbolically held it for a while before slowly speaking.

"Among the 100 herbs on display today, the old man is absolutely sure that there are seventy-three, ten of which he has never seen, and the rest are all in between. ā€

Hearing this, everyone showed a shocked look.

You must know that most of them can't even read seventy kinds of herbs, let alone identify more than seventy kinds of herbs, so it seems that the five-grade pharmacist is really the five-grade pharmacist, and this skill in distinguishing medicines alone is impressive!

"Then Pharmacist Wang thinks how many kinds can Pharmacist Sun identify?"

Pharmacist Wang glared fiercely at the questioning man, and the arrogance just now dissipated a lot, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Lao Sun is better than me in distinguishing medicines, about eighty kinds." ā€

Then there was another exclamation.

At this time, no one regards this competition as a contest, because the strength of the two sides is too different, if there is no accident, when the results are announced later, it will be the absolute crushing of Luo Chuan by Sun Yaoshi!

Or in other words, in the eyes of these pharmacists, this has actually become a stage for Pharmacist Sun's performance alone.

As he spoke, the time for a stick of incense was approaching.

Pharmacist Sun stopped his pen first, then got up and bowed to the invisible starlight.

Disciple Sun Xingchang finished answering. ā€

After the salute, Pharmacist Sun looked at Luo Chuan, who was still writing and drawing on the paper, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I really don't know a child! Could it be that he thinks that the more he writes, the more accurate he can distinguish?"

After taking a look, Pharmacist Sun was no longer interested in Luo Chuan, he turned around and saluted his fellow Daoists under the stone platform, and then sat down again, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and gently rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.

Even he consumed too much of his mind in this competition.

I think that if it weren't for Luo Chuan's repeated humiliation of him before, I'm afraid that Pharmacist Sun would not be so serious, doing his best against a guy who didn't even have the identity of a pharmacist.

Luo Chuan's answer was not over yet, but there was already an extremely heated discussion in the audience.

"Pharmacist Sun actually finished answering in advance, but I don't know how many herbs I have identified......"

"Just now, Pharmacist Wang guessed eighty kinds, and I guessed ninety kinds! Did anyone bet with me?"

"If only I could have the demeanor of Pharmacist Sun at any time, let alone identify all the hundred kinds of medicinal materials, even if I can persist until the end......"

At this moment, everyone subconsciously forgot about Luo Chuan, as if there was no suspense in the result.

The only thing they could look forward to was how many herbs Pharmacist Sun had identified.

Fortunately, the wait did not last long.

Not long after, just as the time limit for a stick of incense was about to approach, Luo Chuan finally put down the ink pen in his hand, he rubbed his sore wrist, and then stood up and bowed to the void.

"Disciple Luo Chuan, I also finished answering. ā€

As soon as the words fell, in the commotion of the pharmacists, Luo Chuan and the answer sheets in front of Pharmacist Sun rose into the air at the same time, and then entered the transparent pillar of light, floating out of thin air.

Pharmacist Sun slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showing a little nervousness.

Of course, it wasn't because of Luo Chuan, but he also wanted to know how many of his answers were correct.

Immediately, the faint blue starlight appeared again in the transparent pillar of light, but it did not block everyone's view, but only swept over the two answer sheets.

It took less than ten breaths for the solemn voice to sound again.

Sun Xingchang successfully identified 83 kinds of herbs out of 100 kinds of herbs, but seven of them were wrong in terms of year, and six of them were incomplete in efficacy, so they were converted into 78 kinds. ā€

The pharmacists who came to watch the battle around them immediately cheered up one by one.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of Pharmacist Sun, even if he fails to break through the eighty herbs because of some mistakes, it is terrifying enough!"

"This old grandson is really hidden, he has such a high attainment in the identification of plants and trees, and it is no wonder that he has been able to dominate the second floor of the Medicine King Tower for more than ten years!"

"Congratulations to Pharmacist Sun, take a step forward in herbal medicine, the position of the sixth grade is just around the corner!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of beautiful words and exclamations were endless, which made the pride in Pharmacist Sun's eyes even more sufficient.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that there is also a Luo Chuan in the field.

But someone will not forget.

"Luochuan, all the 100 herbs are correctly identified and won. ā€
