At first, the examiners had no reaction. After all, these were just basic medicinal herbs. However, as Lu Minxing recognized more and more medicinal herbs, the examiners began to look at Lu Minxing differently.
While the next batch of herbs was being delivered, an examiner asked, "Is this really your first time taking the alchemist exam?"
Lu Minxing nodded, "Yes!"
"That shouldn't be the case! If your knowledge of elixirs is already so profound, why did you only just come to take the test?"
This person looks like someone who is here to take an upgrade exam, not someone who is taking the exam for the first time!
As we were speaking, a new batch of medicinal materials arrived.
This batch of medicinal materials are of higher quality and are not so common.
Usually, some people taking the test are very quick in identifying the first round of herbs, but they slow down when identifying more advanced herbs.
However, this rule seems to be invalid for Lu Minxing.
He was still quick at identifying.
Soon, another round of medicinal material identification was completed.
The examiners exchanged glances, they still didn’t believe it!
Use more advanced medicinal materials!
These herbs are even more difficult to find. Not only are they rare and hard to find, but they also contain some very similar herbs mixed in. If you are not careful, you can easily mistake them and fall into a trap.
After Lu Minxing identified the first two and came to the third box, the examiners secretly exchanged glances.
Here it comes, the pit is coming!
The herbs in the third box were not plant-based, but inanimate. They looked like brown sand.
This thing is usually easily identified as Wood Spirit Soil. But in fact...
"This is the excrement of the zombie worms."
The examiners were all shocked, and some of them couldn't help but stand up from their seats.
High-level alchemists like them naturally wouldn't mistake zombie bug feces for wood spirit soil. However, because the two substances were so similar, they had to observe them very carefully before making a judgment.
But what about this person?
He just took a look!
Not only did he not fall into the pit of zombie worm feces, he also jumped over several other pits behind it!
Now the examiners were even more surprised.
I answered all the questions correctly, and I’m still as good at identifying medicinal herbs as ever!
How can there be such a person in this world?
They had presided over many alchemist exams, but they had never seen anyone answer all the questions correctly! Alchemists didn't have to identify every medicinal ingredient to pass. In their respective level exams, as long as they answered 80% correctly, they would pass.
This aroused the curiosity of the examiners.
Originally, I had passed the assessment up to this point, but the examiners had someone send up some medicinal herbs.
This means all the precious medicinal herbs hidden in the bottom of the box have been taken out!
Lu Minxing, who was taking the exam for the first time, didn't know what the correct process was. He just sighed in his heart that it was really not easy to pass the exam to become an alchemist. It was so troublesome!
Then let’s continue!
Actually, Lu Minxing doesn't know all the herbs here, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't know them! He has a system! The system can help him identify them.
However, if Lu Minxing knew that it was not necessary to identify all the herbs, and if he knew how much shock he had caused to the examiners, he would definitely not ask the system for help!
When the examiner saw another box being brought in, a smug smile appeared on his face, and an inexplicable psychological emotion was satisfied.
This thing is good!
What exactly is this thing? In fact, there is still no answer to this question! This thing is so rare that many alchemists have come to identify it, discussed it, and argued about it, but no accurate answer has been found so far.
So he definitely can't identify this thing.
When they thought that they had finally stumped this guy, these old guys finally felt like they could hold their heads high.
Lu Minxing took a look at the contents of the jade box, which was some red liquid.
If he were to identify this thing by himself, it would really take some time, but with the method taught by the system, he would definitely be able to identify it.
However, sometimes the identification cannot be done by just looking with the eyes, but also requires touching with the hands, smelling with the nose, or even picking out a little and refining it to try.
However, he would definitely not be allowed to experiment with such a precious medicinal material casually. So in order to pass the exam, Lu Minxing had no choice but to use the system again.
The results identified by the system surprised Lu Minxing.
What a precious thing!
Such precious things actually exist in this world. This world of cultivation is indeed not simple!
Lu Minxing was about to speak, but when he took a look at the examiners' faces, he immediately thought, with such a precious thing, should he act a little embarrassed?
So Lu Minxing pretended to look at it for a long time before he said, "This is phoenix blood."
The examiner was silent.
Phoenix blood? Although they had guessed what kind of blood it was, they never dared to guess it was from the phoenix!
The phoenix is an ancient mythical beast! It performed great feats during the prehistoric era! However, the mythical beast had difficulty reproducing, and its numbers gradually dwindled, eventually vanishing completely many, many years ago.
"How do you prove that this is phoenix blood?" an examiner asked.
After all, no one has seen it, so what can he say is what it is?
Lu Minxing said methodically, "Blood will coagulate and darken in color after being outside the body for a long time. But look at this blood, it's still flowing and the color is still bright red.
"Because the phoenix possesses the ability to achieve nirvana, it is called the immortal bird. Only its blood has the property of remaining uncorrupted for ten thousand years. This is consistent with the records in ancient books."
The examiners looked at each other in bewilderment. Ancient books? What ancient books? Ancient books they had never seen before?
"We can't make a conclusion based on this alone. After all, sometimes what is recorded in ancient books is not necessarily completely correct," said an examiner.
"That's right." Another examiner also said, "Who knows if there are other mythical beasts whose blood has the same properties."
"Actually, there is another way to identify whether this is phoenix blood." Lu Minxing continued.
"The Phoenix's nature is fire, and it has a natural affinity with flames, so..."
Lu Minxing cast a fire spell, and a cluster of flames emerged from his palm. He slowly approached the jade box. The blood in the jade box seemed to sense something, and changed its previous unchanging silence, instead bubbling.
"Move the fire away, don't let it boil!" said an examiner nervously.
Lu Minxing moved the flame away, but the blood seemed to be attracted and wanted to come out of the jade box.
