(Still stuck, will be revised before 2 o'clock)
Although there is no way to test when selecting, as an experienced alchemist, I can select 70% to 80% just by relying on my eyesight, and I can know the remaining 20% by testing it with the alchemy fire after I get it.
The people from Jiang Baizhou were well prepared, and their movements were quick and meticulous. The alchemists from the other two continents were only concerned with their own alchemy furnaces and didn't notice any of their details at all.
But the big guys watching on the stage noticed something unusual.
"Jiang Baizhou's alchemist is very meticulous." These words were said by President Cang Qingzhou.
However, the alchemy furnace is only the first step. Even if it is done well, it does not prove anything.
"Everyone, please look... There are 67 patients here, corresponding to your 67 alchemists. Based on the complexity of their illnesses, 8 of these are assigned to Heaven-level alchemists, 14 to Earth-level alchemists, 20 to Profound-level, and the remaining 25 to Yellow-level. The specific allocation will be determined by your respective lot draws."
Luo Huai explained the rules, "We are all alchemists. Alchemists are supposed to cure illnesses and save lives, which is why they are also called pharmacists. If you want to compete, you shouldn't bypass this level no matter what. This is a real fight."
The alchemists standing below couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, and among them, Jiang Baizhou's alchemists were the most nervous.
Ning Zhishui's words from yesterday could not help but echo in their ears -
"Speaking of alchemy, if I were to come up with a task, I would probably find some patients, especially those with difficult and complicated illnesses, and have the alchemists examine them, make elixirs, and cure them."
They couldn't help but look towards Ning Zhishui, wanting to say "fuck" a thousand times in their hearts, but they had to hold it back.
Is she a god? How can she guess so accurately?
If we didn't know in advance that she had been with them the entire time, never left, and didn't even have time to send a sound transmission note, we would really suspect that she got the inside information from somewhere!
"...Because the difficulty of the diseases varies, we won't simply use the time taken to complete them as the scoring basis for this stage. Instead, all of our judges will assign scores to each patient individually."
"Now, the drawing of lots begins."
The atmosphere became extremely tense, and even the heavenly-level alchemists had to concentrate and calm down, no longer maintaining their relaxed attitude.
Using an unfamiliar alchemy furnace, he also had to treat patients. After prescribing an elixir recipe, he had to refine the elixir and give it to the patient on the spot to observe its effects...
Actual combat is far more difficult than simply following the instructions for refining the elixir, and no one dares to be careless.
Ren Muqing picked a patient, took a deep breath, walked over and began to ask about his symptoms.
"I...had something bad to eat, and my throat...can't speak..."
She was an old woman, and her voice was hoarse and incoherent. One had to get very close and concentrate to hear her clearly.
"What did you eat that made you sick?" Ren Muqing asked. "When did it happen?"
"I ate the gallbladder of a... bamboo green snake... more than sixty years ago..." the woman replied.
The bamboo green snake is slightly poisonous and its gallbladder is absolutely not edible.
The reason why the old woman couldn't speak fluently was probably because the snake gall bladder had slipped through her throat, and she must have taken some medicine in time, otherwise her life would have been in danger.
After some inquiries, Ren Muqing learned that after the old woman ate snake gall, she passed by a young female cultivator who was kind-hearted and fed her the antidote in time to save her.
Things seemed clear at this point. The snake gall had injured her throat, and she had not received treatment over the years, which caused her condition to worsen.
You just need to take the right Qinghuang Pills and the symptoms will disappear. Moreover, Qinghuang Pills are yellow-grade pills, corresponding to their own grade.
But Ren Muqing didn't jump to conclusions so quickly.
Diseases are actually very complicated. Even if the external manifestations seem simple, everyone has different living habits, and people often have some hidden diseases after living for so many years. If the questions are not clear enough, misdiagnosis is likely to occur.
And if it is so simple, it doesn’t seem to be a difficult disease, right?
Yesterday, Ning Zhishui also emphasized that—
"If there really is a diagnosis and treatment process, then please remember that what we need to pay most attention to is not the alchemy process, but the consultation process! We must ask clearly about hidden illnesses, contraindications, and medication history..."
So Ren Muqing didn't leave, but continued asking.
After asking this question, I found out that there was a medicinal ingredient in Qinghuang Pills that could not be used to treat the woman's old injuries. Otherwise, although it would not be fatal, she would vomit blood continuously.
This made Ren Muqing break out in a cold sweat, and he secretly thanked himself for being cautious.
And then, the speed at which people were eliminated far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Someone had a problem with their alchemy furnace, but they didn't check it in time, so they threw materials into it directly after starting the fire. But only then did they discover that there was a hole in the furnace!
The chance to refine the elixir today is the same as yesterday, there is only one chance, so if you fail, you will be eliminated directly!
Tears rolled down the man's eyes when he was eliminated, as if he had never expected that he would fail for such a ridiculous reason!
And this is just the beginning.
Some people lost their opportunities due to problems with the alchemy furnace, while others were so frightened by the cries and wails of several patients that their hands trembled in the middle of refining the alchemy, and thus the entire furnace of alchemy was scrapped.
The conditions of these patients vary in severity. For example, in the case of the elderly woman, although her life is affected, at least she does not feel any pain and does not suffer too much.
But some people suffer from external injuries or very painful internal injuries, and the pain is very unbearable.
They don't care whether there is someone refining the elixir nearby. If the pain is severe, they will roll on the ground and wail and cry. Their howling scared many alchemists.
When refining an elixir, even a slight distraction would lead to failure, not to mention this kind of sudden shock, so many alchemists had to leave the stage with regret.
To be precise, they are quite a few alchemists from Cangqingzhou and Moxuanzhou.
Jiang Baizhou's alchemist behaved as steady as an old dog, without any panic or haste, and his composure was astonishing. He didn't look like a rookie at all like he did on his first day.
When others were anxious to start refining the elixir, they first asked detailed questions, then checked the elixir furnace and the medicinal materials distributed.
After confirming that everything is correct, we start refining.
As for the screams of the patients, although they were startled, they did not pay any attention to what was happening. They just kept busy with the work in their hands without stopping at all.
These performances are all real, there is no possibility of cheating!
The people on the stage couldn't help but look at each other, and their opinions of Jiang Baizhou's alchemy master changed.
"It seems... not quite the same as expected." President Mo Xuanzhou said.
"Well, seeing is believing, and you have seen it now." Luo Huai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
If we were to ask who has the straightest back now, it would naturally be President Wang of Jiang Baizhou.
He stood among the crowd, enjoying the complicated looks from others from time to time, feeling so proud.
