However, most apprentice apothecaries would only be able to distinguish the composition of potions. It was rare for them to be able to distinguish medicinal pills! This was because it was easier to distinguish the components of a potion. On the other hand, after a pill had been refined and fused with a pill fire, many of the characteristics of the medicinal ingredients had completely disappeared. Even an Alchemist would find it difficult to distinguish them, so how could an apprentice Alchemist be able to distinguish the ingredients? If it was a familiar medicinal pill, it would be fine. He could say a lot of it even if he blurted it out. Even if there were some changes, the general ingredients should not be too different. However, if he were to encounter an unfamiliar medicinal pill, then he would really be at a loss. A gold apprentice Alchemist ... Could he really do it? Wei zhentian obviously didn't care if they could do it or not. The question was given. If they could do it, then continue. If they couldn 't, then get lost. Simple and direct! A small Jade bottle appeared in front of each participant, and there was a similar-looking pill inside. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what it was. It should have been processed, and no one could determine what kind of pill it was with the naked eye. "In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, I don't care what method you use. It doesn't matter if you see it, smell it, or eat it. As long as you can write down more than 70% of the ingredients in the pill within the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, you'll pass!" Wei zhentian clapped his hands and said expressionlessly,""Only those who pass will be able to enter the third round. Those who fail will be able to leave immediately. This seat would like to congratulate him. At the very least, he still has the silver rank apprentice Alchemist badge in his hands! However, for the next two years, you will no longer be able to take the gold apprentice Alchemist test!" It was the truth, but it sounded extremely mean. Those who came to take part in the assessment, who didn't want to take a gold rank badge back? Do silver-level players need your congratulations? You can get it just by not attending? you're mocking me! Tang Yungui let out a long breath. He picked up the small Jade bottle and poured the elixir into his palm. He first brought it to his nose and sniffed it. There was no special smell. It was indeed a processed pill. Although everyone's pills looked the same, Tang Yungui doubted that the pills inside were the same. It was possible that everyone's work was different. If anyone wanted to cheat and plagiarize, that would be a big joke! At this time, eyes and nose were not reliable. He had to use his mouth to distinguish. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮 Therefore, Tang Yungui threw the pill into his mouth without hesitation. He closed his eyes and savored it. After him, most of the people made the same choice. Only a small number of people didn't consume it. Instead, they broke it apart and crushed it to observe and try. After the elixir dissolved, a faint fragrance filled his mouth. Tang Yungui did not hurry to swallow it. He carefully identified every possible medicinal herb. After a while, the pill melted into his mouth and could no longer stay in his mouth. Tang Yungui immediately began to feel the effects of the pill. The names, effects, shapes, and so on of many herbs were gradually taking shape. Tang Yungui had an answer in his mind. Calmly opening his eyes, he picked up his brush and a list of medicinal herbs quickly appeared. In fact, Tang Yungui couldn't distinguish a small part of it at all, but he guessed that these should exist through the reverse calculation of the medicinal effects of the pills, so he wrote them all down. Anyway, it didn't matter if he wrote it wrong, as long as he got it right, he would earn a lot! After he finished writing, Tang Yungui indicated that he had to hand in his paper. No one could be faster than him at this time, so in the second round, Tang Yungui took the lead in speed. Wei zhentian took Tang Yungui's answer scroll and glanced at it. His face was still expressionless. He only glanced at Tang Yungui indifferently and then nodded slightly,""Qualified!" Tang Yungui relaxed. Although he was confident in himself, he was still worried and nervous. Now that he had received confirmation, he immediately relaxed a lot. After a few minutes, the second person to hand in his paper finally appeared. Then, the second and third people couldn't stop at all. Because of this, they were eliminated, and more and more people were asked to leave the hall. Ouyang Fantong had also passed the second round. She bared her teeth at Tang Yungui proudly. Tang Yungui pretended not to see him and ignored him. After half an incense's time, it was just as Wei zhentian had said-one-third of the people had been eliminated. Tang Yungui knew that this was already good enough. Identifying the ingredients of a pill shouldn't have been part of the scope of the gold apprentice apothecary examination. Wei zhentian had lowered the difficulty, allowing two-thirds of the people to pass. "I don't want to comment on your performance in the second round. You've all passed, and no one is outstanding. As a gold rank apprentice Alchemist, it's time for you to be able to refine pills. Therefore, the third round of the examination is to refine a pill!" With a wave of Wei zhentian's hand, the members of the alchemy Association moved quickly and separated the remaining people with cloth curtains. An alchemy furnace, a pill formula, and two sets of medicinal herbs were prepared in front of everyone. "As you can see, everyone has two sets of medicinal herbs, but this is not to give you two chances to refine pills. The second set is just a backup for you. If there is any mistake in the process that causes the medicinal herbs to be damaged, you can have a chance to make up for it." "To make it more clear, you only have one chance to refine pills. If you fail, you will be eliminated! Go back and cultivate properly, and come back in two years! We'll start now!" After Wei zhentian announced the start of the competition, Tang Yungui quickly picked up the pill recipe and examined it carefully. By now, he had already formed a habit of carefully examining the pill formula before refining the pill. Only after he was certain that there were no problems did he start refining the pill. Tang Yungui's expression was a little ugly after he deliberated it as usual. This pill formula's difficulty was clearly out of the ordinary. It simply wasn't a pill that a gold rank alchemy apprentice could refine! If he used the spiritual fire of heaven and earth in his body, Tang Yungui was confident that he could succeed, but he did not dare to use it in such a place. He didn't even dare to disguise himself! Tang Yungui was sure that he wasn't confident if he only relied on his own alchemy fire without using the heaven and earth Spirit Fire. Why was the gold apprentice Alchemist test so difficult? Lin Yi didn't know that his disciple was in trouble. He didn't think that a gold apprentice test would be a problem for Tang Yungui. "Dean Sima, the second round of assessment has already ended. Look, so many people have been eliminated at once! It's a good thing that the boys from our two families are very capable, and none of them came out. Not bad, not bad!" Lu sanjian was happy to see that there were no disciples from the Green Mountain Alchemy School among those who had been eliminated."I don't think Tang Yungui will have any problems. This young man is a rare genius. Many of the students of our Qingshan alchemy college can't even compare to him!" "The third round is the key. Don't get too cocky!" Lin Yi wanted to be more humble, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face."But Tang Yungui is indeed a good seedling for an Alchemist. He is talented and will definitely become a famous alchemy Grandmaster in the future!"
