Chapter 75: Chapter 10 Medicine Man Examination (Part 1)The Medicine Emperor Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation as the Doctor examination institution of the Wuji Continent. When Yun Sheng and several other Medicine Gathering Boys entered the examination room, they found that dozens of Medicine Gathering Boys were already standing there. Some of them had come to participate multiple times. With a keen eye, Yun Sheng noticed that although they were all Medicine Gathering Boys, they were clearly divided into different levels; some wore child’s clothes that were obviously more exquisite, and most of the people here seemed to know each other. Cheng Sihai’s Medicine Gathering Boy, Cheng Qing, knew quite a few people there. As soon as he entered the examination room, he greeted a few acquaintances and discussed today’s possible examination material, indicating that most of the children’s masters knew each other. "She is that Magic Doctor Fan Zhi’s Medicine Gathering Boy," Cheng Qing pointed at Yun Sheng with ill intent, believing that Yun Sheng couldn’t hear what he was saying. But ever since Yun Sheng opened up her second Qi Meridian, her senses had become even more sensitive; she heard everything these people said behind her back. "Isn’t Fan Zhi the Doctor who once killed someone? I heard that he actually opened up someone’s chest," several Medicine Gathering Boys who were friends could not help but be amazed when they heard Fan Zhi’s name. Everyone spontaneously distanced themselves from Yun Sheng, as if she were some kind of polluted being. Yun Sheng remained indifferent—she couldn’t be bothered to argue with these children. A Pharmacist walked in; he was the chief Pharmacist in charge of the Medicine Man Examination at the Medicine Emperor Pavilion today. "Silence. I am your chief examiner for today’s exam, and you may call me Kong the Pharmacist. Most of you here are Medicine Gathering Boys from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and are not strangers to the Medicine Man Examination. Today, there are a total of forty-three participants in the exam, and I hope all of you can become qualified Medicine Men. Our first round of examination is medicine grabbing; everyone follow me to the first floor," Kong the Pharmacist led the Medicine Gathering Boys toward the medicine warehouse on the first floor. "So big!" Yun Sheng followed the other Medicine Gathering Boys into the medicine warehouse of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. The Medicine Emperor Pavilion’s warehouse, much like a massive underground parking garage, contained tens of thousands of varieties of medicines, neatly divided into several areas, such as Beginner, Intermediate, and High-level Medicinal Herbs. Yun Sheng’s astonished expression caught the eyes of the other Medicine Gathering Boys, inevitably leading to some mockery from them. "When you entered the warehouse, each of you received a prescription. There are a total of eighteen kinds of medication on the prescription. The first round of your assessment is to grab the exact amount of eighteen different medicines without the use of a medicine scale. Those who accurately grab the amount of fifteen to eighteen types of medicines will be graded excellent; fourteen to ten types, average; nine to six types, passing; and those who grab under six types will fail," after hearing the content of the exam, the Medicine Gathering Boys immediately began to review the prescription in their hands. There’s a difference between Medicine Men and Medicine Gathering Boys; grabbing medicine is one of their primary tasks. In the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, with up to hundreds of thousands of prescriptions dealt with every day, qualified Medicine Men simply do not have the time to use a medicine scale to grab medicine. They are often able to accurately estimate the amount needed by hand, which better facilitates the subsequent medicine preparation. Cheng Qing quickly grabbed the eighteen medicines and proudly handed them to the Pharmacist. After the examination, the Pharmacist announced, "Cheng Qing, among the eighteen types of medicine, sixteen are of accurate quantity. You have achieved an excellent grade in the first medicine-grabbing stage of the exam." Being able to accurately grab sixteen out of eighteen kinds of medicines without a medicine scale, the rest of the Medicine Gathering Boys were astonished and praised Cheng Qing as worthy of being the Medicine Gathering Boy of the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor Cheng Sihai. Several more Medicine Gathering Boys passed the exam, and amongst them, two did not meet the minimum standard of six types of medicines and were thus eliminated in the first round. Yun Sheng handed over the medicines she had grabbed. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Kong the Pharmacist glanced at her and saw a new face. "Yun Sheng, among the eighteen types of medicinal herbs, the amount of each measured is precise and accurate...all eighteen types. Examination results: excellent," Kong the Pharmacist announced the "excellent" grade, even he felt somewhat incredulous. Not to mention the others, including those Medicine Gathering Boys who had earlier scoffed at Yun Sheng, all of them were dumbstruck. "Eighteen types! Did you hear that? The Magic Doctor’s Medicine Gathering Boy actually precisely measured the amounts for eighteen types of medicinal herbs," the Medicine Emperor Pavilion is home to a variety of medicinal herbs, not just the freshly picked ones yet to be dried but also powdered semi-finished Medicine Stones, and some herbs even in liquid form, yet Yun Sheng had accurately grasped the correct amounts for all the herbs. Yun Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle to herself. What a joke, in her previous life, ever since she learned how to walk, she was forced every day by her own grandfather to learn dispensing herbs with a ruler, more than twenty years of skill, how could she lose to these milk-smelling little attendants. When she dispenses herbs, she never lacks an ounce, her accuracy is comparable to an all-purpose scale. On the side, Cheng Qing’s face looked awful, as he watched Yun Sheng’s back, he pulled over a Medicine Gathering Boy, and the two whispered among themselves. In the first round of the herb-gathering segment of the examination, a total of ten people did not qualify, only thirty-three remained out of forty-three people. The second round of the examination involved decocting medicine, conducted in the same medicinal storeroom on the first floor, but this time, the Medicine Gathering Boys needed to decoct a dose of medicine according to the prescription they were given. When the medicinal herbs were delivered, Yun Sheng frowned. Something was off with these herbs. The herbs for decocting had been tampered with. Yun Sheng looked at the other people’s herbs and discovered her own batch was not only less in quantity, but also the age of the herbs was wrong; the most crucial herb, the five-year-old Six-Flavor Glaseed, had been switched with the three-year-old Six-Flavor Glaseed. If the age of the herbs is incorrect, naturally the medicine decocted will also be incorrect. Cheng Qing and a few other Medicine Gathering Boys sneakily glanced over, and Yun Sheng immediately guessed that they were up to no good. Seeing Yun Sheng keeping silent and continuing with the decoction, those few Medicine Gathering Boys all revealed a smile of a cunning plan succeeded. They had allowed her to shine in the first round of examination, now they want to see how she would manage to decoct a qualified medicine with insufficient herbal quantities. It was roughly half an hour later, all thirty-three Medicine Gathering Boys had each decocted their own medicine. Cheng Qing secretly took a peek into Yun Sheng’s bowl and saw that only half a bowl of medicine was left, clearly lacking in quantity, needless to say, she too would have to be eliminated. Just as Kong the Pharmacist was getting ready to check each person’s medicine, a girl around the age of thirteen or fourteen walked in. "Miss Qi, what brings you here?" Kong the Pharmacist asked very politely. The girl was pretty and wore a Medicine Man badge. Logically, Kong the Pharmacist’s status should be higher than the Qi Medicine Man, it wasn’t appropriate for him to be so respectful. But Kong the Pharmacist, including all the Medicine Gathering Boys, all looked at her with reverence, simply because this girl was the personal attendant of the sole Great National Doctor of the Jade Capital Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
