Chapter 234: It's not easy
The materials on the body of the monster vary according to the medicinal effect of the pill, from the fur, flesh and blood, muscles and bones, and even the internal organs, limbs, facial features, etc., almost all parts of the body can be used as medicinal materials.
Of course, the most important materials are soul cores, crystal nuclei, etc., which are also the easiest materials to process.
In addition to these, there are other scarce materials that can also be used as materials, such as special water, stones, earth, etc., these things are mainly used as medicine primers, but they play an irreplaceable role.
Alchemy is a very complex and independent discipline, there are only a few colleges in a small city like Mingcheng, and the college is also mainly based on the cultivation of beast martial spirits, while in big cities such as Yangping City, there are special Dan academies, alchemy colleges.
Of course, Mingcheng Academy and Wuling Academy also have their own alchemy departments.
Even if you are not a student of the alchemy department, you can learn the knowledge of alchemy, but it is only a minor subject, not a major subject.
Seeing that the twenty contestants were all seated in a proper manner, the referee smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Wen, please come to the stage." ”
Then, Mr. Wen in the audience strode into the ring and greeted the referee.
There was originally a large square table in the center of the ring, and Mr. Wen and the referee had spoken, and as soon as he waved, a large number of materials appeared on the table.
Teacher Wen also has storage rings, and these materials placed on the table are the materials that need to be identified for today's competition.
Teacher Wen put down the materials, hugged his fists and retreated, at this time, the referee said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our first competition has started now, please look at it, I will pick up these materials one by one for you to see, please write their names in order." ”
Hearing this, the twenty contestants all became serious.
The staff also took the incense burner placed in the middle of the ring in a timely manner and lit three one-foot-high incense sticks.
I only heard the referee continue: "The identification of medicinal materials is limited to three incense sticks, and the game will be terminated when it is burned out!"
With that, the referee picked up the first ingredient from the table, which was a root-like plant, purple-brown in color, with a tangled appearance and a layer of small bumps on the surface.
In addition, the epidermis is covered with dense fibrous roots.
"Please see clearly, this is a root-like medicinal herb, if you know its name, you can fill in the name on the answer sheet. The referee held up the rhizome and showed it around one by one.
After the referee spoke, some contestants began to pick up the pen and write stroke by stroke.
Facing the first medicinal herb, Jiang Feng couldn't help but be depressed.
The reason is simple, he doesn't know.
If it was an ordinary herb, Jiang Feng still knew it, although he was not as professional as Hua Yueying in this aspect, he was stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, he himself often refines soul talismans, although talisman making and alchemy are two disciplines that are not related, but they all have the same goal, they are all about processing and purifying materials.
There are many things in common with alchemy.
However, since it is a competition in the academy, it is naturally impossible to let the most ordinary medicinal materials be identified by the contestants, so there is no difficulty at all.
Jiang Feng stared at the rhizome in the referee's hand for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.
Oops, looks like this round is going to be a mess!
Jiang Feng sighed secretly.
Not many contestants were able to write the name of the first herb, but nearly half of the twenty contestants still wrote down and pondered before writing their answers.
As the overall champion of Mingcheng Academy, it is impossible for Jiang Feng to let tens of thousands of viewers come to see his jokes, if he doesn't even pick up the pen, wouldn't it be a shame for Mingcheng Academy?
But what to write?
After picking up the pen, Jiang Feng felt very passive. He symbolically scratched the paper a few times, but in fact only wrote a serial number.
The referee waited for a moment to hold the root plant before walking to the table and putting it down gently, and then picked up the second herb.
This is a medicinal herb, which has a somewhat special appearance, and looks similar to ordinary lantern plants, but there is an essential difference when you look closely.
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up because he knew this herb.
If you look at it with an eagle's eye, you will find that the small lantern of this herb will emit a white light, yes, its effect is on that inconspicuous little lantern.
This herb is not called lantern plant, the scientific name is very interesting, it is called Linglong clear, and the medicinal effect of its lantern is mainly to soothe muscles and bones, and invigorate blood.
The referee took the herbs and showed them to the contestants on all sides one by one, and felt that they could see everything clearly, so he returned to his seat.
The second question is relatively simple, but it is not particularly easy, those who know think it is very simple, and those who don't know have a black line in their heads.
Jiang Feng roughly swept it, and there were more than a dozen people writing carefully, that is, more than a dozen people could identify it, and as usual, some people didn't know.
He paused for a moment, filled in the serial number, and then neatly wrote down the delicate name.
The third medicinal herb was also quickly picked up by the referee, but it was the vertebrae of a demonic beast, and there was only one section. But looking at the appearance of the vertebrae, it is estimated that the size of that demonic beast will not be too small, at least it should be a medium-sized demonic beast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the third medicinal herb only needs to write the name of this magical beast. The referee explained.
After listening to the referee's words, a few of them immediately began to write. It seemed that they recognized at a glance what kind of monster it was.
Jiang Feng swept slightly, and found that Hua Yueying had written a few words without hesitation, she was probably extremely familiar with this kind of magical beast.
It's just that Jiang Feng wasn't sure what kind of demonic beast it was, he felt that from the outside, it was probably some kind of giant snake, but he couldn't say for sure, or it was a demonic beast in the water.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Jiang Feng finally didn't dare to determine what it was, so he just lightly picked up his pen and wrote a number of three as a serial number.
Through the first three medicinal materials, Jiang Feng already felt that he had failed.
If it is said that since he came to Mingcheng Academy, his level has increased rapidly, and his various abilities have skyrocketed at an unimaginable speed, but for the way of alchemy, he is an out-and-out layman.
Perhaps, out of twenty people, he should be ranked eighteen or nineteen.
After the first three medicinal materials were unveiled, in order to give the contestants more time to think about it, the referee did not immediately pick up the fourth medicinal herb, but walked around the ring with great interest, mainly scanning the small table of each contestant with his eyes to see the results of their answers.
As the No. 1 seed of Mingcheng Academy, when the referee's eyes glanced at Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng only felt that his face was hot and embarrassing.
It is true that this kind of exam is too straightforward.
If you can't tell it, what else can you do?
It's just that as the No. 1 seed, it's too much of a fall. I believe that the other seeded players, like Shui Ruyan, Guo Kanfeng, and Fan Zhengrong, are much stronger than him.
After seeing Jiang Feng's answer, the referee paused slightly, and then shook his head, the meaning of which can be imagined.
Jiang Feng was blocked in his heart, he made up his mind, when the competition was over and he returned to school, he must improve the level of alchemy, and he couldn't be like today in the future.
