Each of the twelve wooden boxes contained a thousand mixed herbs.

Wait a minute, there will be three people standing at each table, and each person will pick out four herbs from them, put them in a box and seal them, and finally personally bring them to the stage and ask the five elders to make sure.

It sounds simple, but it's even more difficult to operate.

Let's not talk about how to distinguish a thousand kinds of herbs, even among the herbs, there are so many similarities.

Therefore, it is very difficult to identify only a few of the 1,000 herbs.

"Unboxing!"

The disciple in charge of the overseer raised his voice, and then, the twelve boxes, all of which were opened.

The eyes of almost all the audience present were glued to the herbs in the box.

The disciples lightly took out bunches of herbs from the box. Finally, it was placed on a round table.

"I didn't expect that these old guys are really willing to spend their money. These drugs look good, how much does it cost to use these things? ”

Lin Mengya said regretfully, she was the same as Zuo Qiu Yu in her heart, and she only felt extremely distressed.

Because some medicinal herbs should be kept away from light, and they must be kept in extremely dry conditions.

It was exposed to the sun for a long time, plus people turned it over and over. Of course, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced, and it will definitely not be put back in the library.

"Judging from Qian Yuming's usual personality, it is estimated that he will definitely not use it again. He is the most face-saving pomp, if he were to do it, I am afraid that these medicinal materials will be destroyed. ”

Zuo Qiu Yu's face was a little ugly, not to mention how much money was wasted to build a venue here.

Even those medicinal herbs could have been used to cure diseases and save people.

Now, it has only been reduced to a tool, reduced to Qian Yuming's capital to show off the storage of medicinal materials in the Hundred Herb Pavilion.

"This is also his talisman, sooner or later, these are all evidence of crime."

The more Lin Mengya watched here, the more she understood why Cousin Chen was ruthless and must eradicate these scum.

It's just that these things are old things, and if you want to get rid of them completely, you can't do it all at once.

Now, I have to endure it first.

Lin Mengya sniffed the medicinal fragrance wafting in the air vigorously.

The rich taste, the automatic analysis of Shennong's system, and the types of medicinal materials have been completely remembered in her mind.

"It's a pervert."

Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh, although the winner in this preliminaries had no chance with the Great Elder.

But if you can come out on top, you will naturally have a bright future in the future.

But if you want to win, this first level is a little too difficult.

If you want to distinguish the types of medicinal materials, in addition to observing their actions, smelling their taste, and observing their color, many still need to use extraordinary methods.

For example, there is a medicinal herb named Sea Flower. It looks like a dead grass, and its appearance is not good.

But if you want to distinguish it, you have to bake it over a fire first.

It takes a quarter of an hour to roast, and the dry branches will gradually come out of the outside, milky white slurry.

Such a miraculous medicine, mixed with a thousand kinds of medicinal materials, is simply even more difficult.

If you can pass, you can be regarded as a talent.

If you can really select a few medical geniuses, it is not all disadvantages.

Talents, whether it is Cousin Chen or these five elders, the more the merrier.

After introducing the rules, the players who participated in the preliminaries also came out of the gate of Baicao Pavilion.

Those who are from an aristocratic background, or whose medical skills are recognized, can directly enter the finals.

Therefore, although these people are tall, short, fat and thin, they rarely have familiar faces.

Twelve tables, or thirty-six players, are now standing in front of their respective tables.

These people looked nervous, or some were eager to try, or they were like a great enemy.

In short, there are few that are easy to deal with.

That's right, if you want to stand out from here, you have to be extremely capable.

"The first round of testing had to be completed in two hours, and now, the timing begins!"

The disciple in charge of supervision gave an order, and not far away, an arm-thick incense was lit at this moment.

It is a special incense used to test time, and one will burn out in one time.

It's not as accurate as modern clocks, but it's probably not wrong.

After the disciple's voice fell, the thirty-six contestants immediately sank into the busy identification work.

This kind of scene, whether it is Lin Mengya or Zuo Qiuyu, is the first time I have seen it.

As time passed, the players in the field were also showing their talents.

Lin Mengya looked around, and only felt that there was a young man at the third table who was extremely interesting.

He didn't know where he got a basin of water, and he was dipping the herbs on the table into the water a little at a very fast speed, and then quickly took them out.

"Cousin Yu, look at that young man, what is he doing?"

Zuo Qiu Yu also noticed that person, and the others were using the different properties of the medicine to distinguish the name of the medicine.

But this person is the only one, but he seems to keep dipping medicinal herbs in water.

And his speed is very fast, and the two players at the table with him seem to be a little unhappy.

"I don't know very well, just wash the herbs, could it be that he is afraid of getting dirty?"

It was so far away, Zuo Qiu Yu couldn't be sure.

But people who love cleanliness, Liu Xuan is one of the more serious problems.

I haven't seen this guy either, no matter what he does, he just washes it in water first.

However, it is not a foul. Even if there is a mystery in the water, it can help him discern it.

But everyone else did the test after seeing it.

But he didn't seem to make a difference, he just kept dipping it in the water and then took it out.

However, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the herbs. The players at the table who were still glaring at him just now, for some reason, suddenly quieted down.

Lin Mengya felt more and more strange, what is this person doing?

As the players' expressions became more and more solemn, a little time gradually passed.

Lin Mengya, who had been sitting behind the bead curtain, also felt a little bored.

"I'll go out and have a look, will you come?"

Now in Lintian, Lin Mengya is definitely enjoying the treatment of a superstar.

Every move can firmly stand on the first place in the gossip list.

So, she simply didn't hide. Wouldn't it be better to show up generously?

"I'm not going, you and Yu'an be careful."

Zuo Qiu Yu's face was solemn, presumably worried about his competition for the Great Elder.

Lin Mengya couldn't help him at the moment, so she had to quietly withdraw from the private room separated by the bead curtain with Yu'an.

"Let's go, take me to see Cousin Chen."

Outside, Lin Mengya lowered her voice and said in a volume that only she and Yu'an could hear.

Yu An was slightly taken aback, he didn't know where the horse's feet were exposed, and he actually let the county lord perceive His Majesty's existence.

"It's not your fault, it's my cousin's medicinal scent that has been left in this room. Ordinary people can't smell it, but they can't hide it from me. ”

From the moment he first came in, the precious fragrance of medicinal herbs beside Cousin Chen was faintly wafting in the air.

It's a pity that she can't escape her rather tricky sense of smell.

Come to think of it, Cousin Chen attaches so much importance to this game. Even at the expense of sending the most powerful chamberlain by his side.

How could he be absent at such a critical moment?

Besides, she and Zuo Qiu Yu were attracted to the fire in front of her. Cousin Chen can really be quiet, since he can be unaware, why doesn't he come?

Presumably, at this time, in Wangtian City, His Majesty the Emperor was either sick or occasionally feeling cold.

Who would have guessed that in fact, Zuo Qiuchen had already come to the old capital?

Yu'an was recognized, but he didn't panic much.

just smiled admiringly and said softly:

"No wonder Your Majesty said that he can hide from anyone, but only from the county lord Anle. Lord of the county, please come here. ”

The people outside have long been wiped out by them.

Yu'an led her to the depths of the second floor.

Lin Mengya was a little curious, isn't this the venue built by the Baicao Pavilion? How Yu'an, it seems to be very familiar,

Finally walked to the innermost, Yu'an looked left and right alertly, and then gently knocked on the wall three times.

After waiting a little longer, the door was opened inside.

"I knew you were going to get it."

Inside, Zuo Qiuchen, who was dressed in the usual clothes of an ordinary rich and noble son, was looking at Lin Mengya with a smile.

Lin Mengya was also not polite, and after coming in, she sat on the chair where Zuo Qiuchen was originally sitting.

"What do you mean by that? Treat me and Zuo Qiu Yu as cannon fodder, don't you? If you don't explain it clearly today, you won't want me to sell you your life in the future. ”

Lin Mengya looked like she didn't eat oil and salt, and she saw Zuo Qiuchen smile bitterly.

He knew that this cousin was not so easy to calculate.

Immediately accompanied by a smiling face, he explained:

"Cousin, I really didn't mean to hide it from you. But wouldn't it be better if I were to protect you in secret? ”

Covert protection? Lin Mengya raised her eyes and glanced at this guy.

"What are you protecting? I think you just want us to help you attract firepower. Hmph, you're really calculating. ”

Lin Mengya obviously didn't buy this explanation.

Zuo Qiuchen couldn't figure it out, so he had to sigh softly and said:

"Actually, I'm not worried about Ah Yu. You don't know, he has a blood feud with those old guys. If I don't come, I'm afraid he'll be impulsive and ruin something big. ”

Blood feud? Just now, Zuo Qiu Yu was a little emotional when he saw those elders.

It turns out that it turned out to be because of this.

"What blood feud?"

Lin Mengya subconsciously asked, but Zuo Qiuchen's face was crossed with a touch of ruthlessness.

Obviously, this sea of blood is deep, and Zuo Qiuchen also feels the same way.

"Ah Yu's master was killed by those four people. But, in fact, he died to protect our brother. If it weren't for his sacrifice, Ah Yu and I wouldn't be able to live until now. ”

Listening to Zuo Qiuchen's slightly cold tone, Lin Mengya couldn't help but be speechless.

No wonder people say that the royal family is dirty, and now, she knows one more thing.
