Chapter Seventy-Three: Pharmacist Grade Assessment
Yin Qi injected true qi into the handrail of the stairs again, and when he walked down the stairs, Zhang An saw that the floor was "seven", Yin Qi said that only pharmacists who had registered with the Tianen Pharmacist Association could inject true qi into the handrail and use the teleportation function of Tianen Tower.
Keeping up with Yin Qi's pace, Zhang An found that the entire seventh floor was a hall, and there were many people in the hall, noisy and shouting. In the middle of it was a wooden table, behind which an old man was standing, as if he was writing something.
"Grandpa Zhou, I've brought someone to sign up for the pharmacist competition. Yin Qi said respectfully.
The old man raised his head, squinted his eyes and said, "It's Yin Qi, it's rare to meet you in this heavenly tower." Who's going to sign up? ”
Hearing this, Zhang An hurriedly stepped forward, took the ink pen in the old man's hand with both hands, dipped it in the ink, and began to fill it in carefully.
The old man chatted with Yin Qi for a while, and Zhang An put the ink pen aside and handed the paper to the old man.
"I'll take a look, Zhang An, unrated grade, Yin Yizun group, medicinal dietitian, medicinal dietitian, what kind of classification is this?" the old man wondered, "Only herbalists and physicians, this medicinal dietitian, forgive the old man for his ignorance, he has never heard of it." ”
Yin Qi had never heard of the medicinal dietitian, and looked at Zhang An with a puzzled face.
Zhang An was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Indeed, in the past, there was no such thing as a medicinal dietitian in the medical world, this is a new category created by the boy master. ”
"Your master, then dare to ask who you studied with?" the old man asked with some unkindness.
Zhang An knew that Old Man Shu had a holiday with the Heavenly Grace Pharmacist Association, so naturally he would not tell the old man, so he had to find an excuse, "Please forgive the seniors, the master has already retired, and he doesn't want to cause any more turmoil, please respect his old man's intentions." ”
"Hmph, I think you're just talking nonsense!" the old man snorted coldly, and said to Yin Qi again: "Yin Qi, you can't just bring this kind of country wild man to participate in the pharmacist competition just because your father is a doctor." ”
Yin Qi was also a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Grandpa Zhou, Brother Zhang is not a rural villager, please sell your face and let him sign up." ”
"Of course I can only listen to you, I can't afford to offend your father. However, he has to go through the pharmacist grade assessment first, this is the rule. If you don't even have the strength of a second-level pharmacist, then what's the point of participating in the pharmacist competition?" The old man obviously didn't believe that Zhang An was a pharmacist, and said that he was a medicinal dietitian.
"Yes, yes, yes. Yin Qi hurriedly agreed, "I'll take him to evaluate the pharmacist grade, you wait." ”
Yin Qi hurriedly pulled Zhang An towards the staircase, and asked as he walked: "What kind of medicinal dietitian is Brother Zhang? It's all my fault, I should have asked you in advance, it's all a joke for others." ”
"What's the joke about this, a dietitian is also a kind of pharmacist. My master stumbled upon the combination of herbs and ingredients to make a medicinal meal that was more palatable than the medicinal juice we usually boiled. And even if you are not sick, you can eat it, which can not only effectively prevent various diseases, but also rejuvenate the skin and prolong life. Zhang An explained.
Yin Qi was skeptical, "It's so amazing, but I've really never heard of it, but I'm like a frog at the bottom of a well, Brother Zhang doesn't want to laugh at me." ”
Zhang An waved his hand, "Brother Yin is erudite and talented, I want to learn more from you." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”
The two blew each other all the way to the pharmacist grade evaluation center on the ninth floor.
"Brother Zhang, I can't accompany you in here. There are only two parts to this pharmacist grade assessment, the first one is what all pharmacists need to do, that is, the assessment of basic pharmacological knowledge, that is, to let you simply identify some medicinal materials and name its applicable symptoms. The other one needs to be separated, and the second assessment of cultivators and non-cultivators is different. Cultivators need to consume true qi to catalyze the fusion of medicinal materials, while non-cultivators need to refine a medicine according to the examiner's questions. What determines your pharmacist level is the color of the fused herbs or the efficacy of the refined medicine, in fact, the examiners almost know the smell of the taste. Go in, and I'll be here waiting for you to come out. Yin Qizai carefully informed Zhang An of the grade evaluation rules of pharmacists.
Zhang An thanked him and followed a woman into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang An smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, and looked around, the four walls were full of rows of cabinets, on which all kinds of medicinal materials were neatly listed, although they were only some relatively common, such as: ginger, red peony, aconite, cloves, etc., but these medicinal materials were maintained very fresh.
Walking through a door again, you will be greeted by a rotunda with a small half-man-high round stone platform in the center. Around the hall, there were small rooms one after another, each with only one stone alchemy table.
"Hello, I am the examiner of this pharmacist grade assessment, you can call me Lao Zhang. I'll take a look, Zhang An, yo, this family. Not graded, first time coming?" Lao Zhang greeted in a friendly manner.
Zhang An replied respectfully, "Yes, Examiner Zhang." I'm going to participate in the Pharmacist Competition, but I have to judge the pharmacist rank first. ”
"Participate in the competition, okay, not much to say, let's start now. Lao Zhang was resolute, ran to the room opposite the door that Zhang An had just entered, tinkered for a while, and put a few medicinal herbs on the round platform in the middle of the hall, "Come on, come on, you can pick three at random, talk about the name and medicinal function, and talk about it, even if you pass the first level." ”
Hearing this, Zhang An approached the round platform and took a closer look, it was okay, almost all of these medicinal materials had been seen.
Picking up a nearly cylindrical medicinal herb with triangular ovate leaves and blue-purple sepals, he said, "This is Lurui Aconitum, also known as Zeeland." Its nature is warm, bitter and pungent, and it has the effect of invigorating blood circulation and meridians, diluting water and reducing swelling, and can treat edema, postpartum blood stasis and abdominal pain and other diseases. The whole plant can be used medicinally and has a strong toxic effect. ”
He picked up a triangular medicinal herb that resembled an orange petal and had a yellowish-white surface, and said, "This is white and ugly, cold, bitter, and poisonous. Its main functions are laxative, phlegm, and insecticide. It is used for water swelling, stool blockage, phlegm accumulation, qi reversal, asthma and cough, and abdominal pain. ”
Lao Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and watched Zhang An pick up another medicinal herb with white roots, scales, and flat leaves.
"This is simple, sweet root grass, also known as licorice, the main function is to cure the five internal organs, cold and heat, evil qi, strengthen muscles and bones, grow muscles, double strength, detoxification, long-term service and prolong life. Raw use of diarrhea heat, cooked use of disperse cold, to remove sore throat, remove evil heat, slow down righteousness, nourish yin and blood, nourish the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs. ”
After speaking, Zhang An returned the medicinal materials to the round platform, looked at Lao Zhang, and said, "Examiner Zhang, can I answer correctly?"
"Very good, the first level was beautiful. After speaking, Lao Zhang picked up the medicinal herbs and sent them back to the room, and when he came out again, there was an extra green lotus in his hand, yes, the whole lotus was transparent, like a work of art carved from jadeite.
"I should be right, you are a cultivator, right? Then the second level, it's not very easy, this is a ten-year-old floating cui lotus, if you can use this floating cui lotus to refine the three-life cui lotus pill, no matter what the grade, I will directly assess you as a third-level pharmacist." Lao Zhang handed the floating cuilian to Zhang An, and looked at Zhang An with interest.
This is a little worried, grandpa never said what the fusion of medicinal materials is, and besides, doesn't the fusion of medicinal materials refer to the fusion of multiple medicinal materials, this is one, how to melt?
It's hard to do!
