Xu Hong and the others walked for half an hour, and a row of huge buildings appeared in front of them.

Elder Hong Yuan smiled and pointed forward, "This is the [Vitality Garden]!"

Xu Hong looked over, it was somewhat similar to the greenhouse where vegetables and fruits were planted in his previous life, he didn't know what was sheltering from it, it could transmit light but could maintain water vapor and temperature, and the open space in front of him was full of all kinds of medicinal herbs.

Luo Herb, Tianxing Luo Shen, Qingye Jipinhua, Licous Grass, Huoyuan Fruit, Purple Jade Green ······

The medicinal materials that I thought were precious before were the most common medicines here, and there were many dense around.

Xu Hong's eyes were fiery when he saw it.

If he could eat all these medicinal herbs and cooperate with his cultivation, his lifespan would inevitably easily exceed a hundred, and it would be possible to reach three or five hundred!

Of course, it is also possible to clear it directly······

After all, not all drugs have the effect of supplementing nutrition, and many of them contain highly toxic substances.

After looking around, he found that there were medicines everywhere, Xu Hong looked over suspiciously, "This place should be called the Medicine Garden, right?"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a medicine garden!"

Laughing, Elder Hong Yuan said curiously, "I heard Zhou Zijiang say, you have studied pills, can you get these medicinal materials?"

Xu Hong nodded, "I have memorized medical books, and there are not many medicinal materials that I have actually seen, but according to the description in the book, I should still be able to recognize a lot."

His eyes lit up, and Elder Hong Yuan said, "Since I have a foundation, I will test you, which can be regarded as the first step of the assessment!"

If you want to become a pharmacist, knowing and recognizing medicinal materials is the first step, once you make a mistake, it is easy to cause irreparable disasters.

Xu Hong nodded.

There is still a big gap between the description and the illustrations in the book and the real thing, and he urgently needs to find an opportunity to know more about some medicines to prepare for refining real pills in the future.

"What kind of medicine is this? What are the attributes?" After a few steps forward, Elder Hong Yuan pointed forward.

It is a half-human-tall medicinal herb, iron blue, the surface of the leaves is full of black lines, and it is full of flower bones, but none of them are in full bloom.

Thinking about the characteristics of the medicine and corresponding to it, after a while, Xu Hong said, "It should be [Phoenix Flower]!"

Before Elder Hong Yuan could speak, Xu Ying's eyes on one side showed curiosity, and he said, "Brother Hong, isn't it, Phoenix Flower, it should be very beautiful when you hear the name, and this plant looks a little dry, and the leaves are slightly dim, and there is no resemblance to the Phoenix······

The phoenix is a kind of divine beast, as famous as the dragon, extremely beautiful, this medicinal herb, how ugly it is, and this name, how can it have a half-dime relationship, no wonder Xu Ying questioned.

However, before he could finish his words, Elder Hong Yuan laughed, "Xu Hong is right, this is indeed a phoenix flower! Can you tell how many years it is?"

Xu Hong took a closer look and said, "This medicinal herb, the branches and leaves only have eight black stripes, obviously not reaching a hundred years, and the size is more than half a foot, indicating that it is more than 80 years old, and the flowers are not released, and it is still a little short of the 10-year blooming cycle······ So, I guess this strain should be between 85~89 years!

"This ······"

Seeing that he was so sure, Elder Hong Yuan was stunned, opened the name plate posted next to the medicinal herbs, and a line of handwriting immediately appeared in front of him—Phoenix Flower, 87 years old.

"Not bad, not bad!"

His face flushed with excitement.

I thought that the other party would only distinguish the most basic medicine, but at this moment, it seems that I still underestimate it!

At a glance, you can tell the year of the drug, and the error is no more than two years, even some senior pharmacists may not be able to do it.

"Did you know that······ Why is it so ugly, but it's still called the phoenix?"

After the excitement, Elder Hong Yuan continued to ask.

Xu Hong said: "It's not very good-looking now, but it is said that when the flowers bloom, the black lines will all turn golden, and as for the flowers, they are colorful and flowing, like the feather coat of a phoenix. There is a wind blowing, like a phoenix dancing,

It is said that the pharmacist who discovered this medicinal herb mistakenly thought that the phoenix had descended, so he got the name."

"Yes, yes!" Elder Hong Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only recognized the year, but also said the attributes and historical allusions!

It seems that a lot of work has been spent on the memorization of medicinal materials, at least more than five years.

"However, there is one thing you said that is not quite right, the book records that the phoenix flower blooms once in ten years, but this medicinal herb has been planted here for more than eighty years, and it has never bloomed once.

Elder Hong Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes we all wonder if it is waiting for someone, and only when this person arrives, it will bloom for a while!"

"This······ Impossible!" Xu Hong was curious.

It's just medicinal herbs, and it has no life, how can it bloom for people.

Elder Hong Yuan said, "Elder Xuanye, who is responsible for cultivating medicines, has consulted a lot of ancient books, this kind of flower is rarer than epiphany, and many powerful pill pharmacists have begged for a bloom but can't get it all their lives, so there is a saying, 'Phoenix flowers look good and don't bloom often'······

"However, there are exceptions, it is said that in ancient times, there was a predecessor named Su Yin, where he passed, the phoenix flower not only bloomed for him, but also danced, as if he was truly happy, I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Su Yin?"

Xu Hong shook his head, I haven't heard of it, I guess it's not popular!

Elder Hong Yuan then pointed to the distance and asked, "Okay, let's not talk about this, what is that plant over there, can you know the name?"

After a glance, Xu Hong said: "The leaves are in the shape of fish scales, the rhizomes are green, and some *** are outside, there are no flowers, no fruits, it should be······ Scale vanilla!"

Elder Hong Yuan: "It's indeed a scaly vanilla! However······· This medicine has a special fishy smell, and if you smell it, you can be 100% sure, why don't you just walk over and give the answer directly?"

Xu Hong said: "Some medicinal herbs are poisonous, just smell them, what if they are poisoned?"

"Not bad!"

The more Elder Hong Yuan looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

To identify medicinal materials, you need roots, stems, flowers, and other aspects to carefully screen, I really can't confirm it, you can smell it, but he is right, some drugs are poisonous, it is possible to smell and smell, and hang up······ So, try to confirm from the appearance as much as possible, and don't try it lightly.

Of course, those who are so cautious are generally some old guys, you are only 16 years old, the age of a dragon and a tiger, so be careful, is it a bit too much?

Complaining in his heart, Elder Hong Yuan continued to ask, "What about that plant?"

"Obviously growing in the water, but showing the fiery red of flames, although the distance is far away, some can't see clearly, but the branches and leaves are verdant, like jade, no accident, it should be [Yu Stem Lotus Leaf Grass]!"

Xu Hong recognized.

"Hmm!" Elder Hong Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

I asked a few rare medicinal herbs in a row, and the other party answered them fluently, not bad at all, indicating that the distinction of medicinal materials is not much worse than that of some elders!

Reaching this level, you can already learn the true art of alchemy without any scruples.

Elder Hong Yuan smiled and said, "In this way, as long as you can tell the year of this medicinal herb, the assessment on the identification of the herb will be over!"

Carefully looking at the Yu stem lotus leaf grass, Xu Hong quickly frowned, "This lotus grass, the front end of the leaf has jagged lines, and it has a blue-yellow color, it looks like a young leaf less than 40 years old, but the stem is emerald green and contains a dark pattern, and there are some subtle broken scale patterns on the surface, it feels old, if you look at it this way, it is almost 140 years, as for how much, I can't be sure......

"40 years? 140 years?"

Xu Ying on the side laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Hong to make mistakes sometimes, even if there is a gap in the year of the medicinal materials, it can't be so different!"

It's like, guessing the age of others, between 30~35, there is no problem between 40~45, just come to 40~140······ This is not speculation

, but try your luck!

If you want me to do it, I can do it, when others ask, how many years is this medicinal material, it is directly said that it is about 1 year ~ 200 years, I don't know if I don't know, I will be beaten!

Just as he was about to continue, he saw Elder Hong Yuan not far away, not only his eyes widened, but his body was still trembling, "You, can you even see this?"

"This medicinal herb has indeed been planted with us for 40 years, but the rhizome is a hundred years old, and Dean Xia worked hard to find it······ So, it's okay to say it's 40 years, and it's not wrong to say it's 140 years!

"It's just that seeing these requires not only strong eyesight, but also a deep understanding of medicinal materials, not to mention ordinary pill apprentices, even some formal pill pharmacists, it is difficult to succeed······ Y-How the hell do you see that?"

Elder Hong Yuan was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

Not to mention some teachers, even he can't confirm this medicinal herb at first glance······ The young man in front of him, in just a few breaths, not only recognized it clearly, but also said it exactly right!

This eyesight is absolutely invincible!

"Just take a look at ······."

Xu Hong scratched his head, with a shy look, as long as he knew the name, not to mention that he only saw the year, the medicinal properties of this medicinal herb, and even the eight generations of the ancestors had figured it out!

Of course, the matter of the longevity diagram must not be said······

"Not bad, not bad······"

Seeing that the other party was obviously very strong, but he was so modest, Elder Hong Yuan became more and more satisfied, "It seems that there is no point in continuing to test you to identify medicinal materials, it is better to directly take the second [vitality test]!"

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked to the middle of the medicine garden.

A round platform with a diameter of about five meters, standing not far away, about half a meter high, on the root of a half-human height, placed a round crystal ball.

After glancing at it, he didn't know why, Xu Hong was curious: "Vitality test?"

"Hmm!"

Elder Hong Yuan nodded and said, "This vitality garden, you have also seen it, it is densely packed with no less than a thousand kinds of medicinal materials. Some are suitable for growing in places with water, some like to grow in shaded places, some like sun exposure, and some like the cold of ice and snow······

"Each medicinal herb adapts to a different environment, but at this moment, it is all planted in the same room, not only is it fine, but it can also grow safely, don't you think it's strange?"

Xu Hong nodded.

As soon as I arrived, I felt that something was wrong, taking the phoenix flower and the lotus leaf grass as examples, the former likes to grow in the thorny land full of rocks and is often accompanied by the sycamore, while the latter, like to grow in a watery place.

It's not right to coexist in completely different environments.

Elder Hong Yuan said, "Because······ With this continuous "life" power, drugs with different attributes can also grow in the same environment, without being rejected by bad birth! So, that's where the name "Vitality Garden" comes from."

Xu Hong suddenly looked at the round platform, and sure enough, he found that the surface was the same as the furnace ding, covered with all kinds of longevity patterns.

These lines are combined to form a special formation, and the many medicinal materials in front of you are relying on the vitality instilled by this thing to grow harmoniously.

Elder Hong Yuan continued, "As for the [Vitality Test], it is to place the palm of your hand on this round ball and let the Shouwen automatically detect it! The more vitality there is, the more likely it is to become a pill pharmacist, which is the main reason why the academy has been able to accurately select geniuses over the years."

Xu Hong was curious, "Could it be the same as the Force Measurement Stone, a realistic number?"

Elder Hong Yuan shook his head, "That's not true, did you see the [Snow Primrose] around you?"

Xu Hong nodded.

Around the round platform, there are snow primroses, which are white all over, like snowflakes, and fragrant, very eye-catching, and it is difficult to find them.

It's just that this thing, it's okay to watch, but the medicinal effect is not great, so I don't know why it should be planted here.

Seeing his doubts, Elder Hong Yuan said, "Although the snow primrose is not very effective and is not easy to use medicine, it is extremely sensitive to vitality, and when it is vigorous, it will turn from snow white to pink······ Because of this property, students who come to the test can place their palms on the crystal ball, and the snow primrose will gradually change color according to their talents······

"If you can achieve a light pink color, you have the talent of a pharmacist; Peach powder, with good qualifications, can be focused on cultivating; Tender powder, excellent qualifications; Watermelon powder, unparalleled qualifications; If it can reach rose powder, not to mention Hongwu Academy, the entire Liyuan Dynasty can definitely be regarded as the pinnacle, and it is said that Yang Modanshi back then reached this level."

Light pink, peach pink, tender pink, watermelon pink, rose pink, snow primrose distinguishes the five levels of "vitality".

"Alright, Promise, you can try it first! Xu Hong must have the talent of a pill pharmacist, but I don't know much, I want to see if you have it first."

After explaining, Elder Hong Yuan looked at the two.

In response, Xu Ying jumped directly onto the high platform and put his hand on the crystal ball, full of doubts, "That's it?"

"Well, if there is a rush of air into your body, just don't resist!" Elder Hong Yuan explained.

"Good!" Xu Ying nodded, stopped talking, and stood quietly in place.

Airplanes!

Feeling someone coming, the crystal ball emitted a warm light, and then the longevity patterns around the round platform immediately swam.

The aura in the sky was extracted by the round platform, poured into the crystal ball, and spread to the surrounding snow primroses.
