Chapter 36 Can You Really Guess It Right?
Yunjin walked over involuntarily.
The counter was filled with all kinds of herbs, and the prices varied depending on the type and year.
Seeing Yun Jin's young age, the pharmacist at the counter couldn't help but show a hint of impatience in his expression: "Little sister, if you want to see the herbs, ask your parents to come. Don't stand in the middle and hinder my business."
Although there were no other guests at the moment, Yun Jin still moved aside after hearing this.
Yun Jin said with a well-behaved face: "Sister, I know I was wrong. Can I just stand here and watch? When I see these herbs, I feel so fond of them. Sister, do you know all these herbs? You are so amazing."
Pharmacist: “…”
What did she just say?
Such a well-behaved girl, but she was so mean to others. She must have gotten up in the middle of the night to repent when she got home.
The pharmacist relaxed his expression and said gently, "As a pharmacist, the basic skill is to recognize medicines. I am now a level five pharmacist. Next year, I can take the exam for the alchemist's license."
A look of longing appeared on the pharmacist's face. "If I could become an alchemist, even if it's just a first-grade one, that would be a huge step to heaven."
"Oh?" Yun Jin asked hurriedly, "To become an alchemist, do I have to be a pharmacist first?"
The woman smiled. "Mostly, yes. However, if you can refine a batch of ordinary first-grade elixirs, you can directly become an alchemist. Those cultivators from wealthy families have access to the best resources since birth. In order to refine a batch of first-grade elixirs, they have been training since childhood. Even if they fail a hundred times, they will automatically be promoted after succeeding once. However, ordinary people like us have no resources and no elders to guide us. If we want to become alchemists, we can only start as pharmacists and then take the assessments step by step. It took me five years to advance from a first-level pharmacist to a fifth-level pharmacist, which is already considered a good talent. But the last level, the advancement from pharmacist to alchemist, is the most difficult."
The woman sighed as she spoke.
This world of cultivating immortals is an easy one for the children of big families.
For ordinary people like them, it is really extremely difficult.
"I see." Yun Jin asked again, "Where will the alchemist's assessment be held?"
The pharmacist smiled and said, "To the east of the market, there's a branch of the Dan Pavilion where you can take the assessment. The Dan Pavilion is a union of all alchemists, and backed by the Xuan Dan Sect, one of the Four Sacred Grounds. If you're an alchemist with exceptional talent, there's a chance you'll be directly recruited by the Xuan Dan Sect."
The woman's face was full of longing.
Yun Jin also nodded repeatedly.
OK, let’s conduct the assessment now!
She wanted to refine the Bu Tian Pill within three months, so she had to obtain the identity of an alchemist.
Even if you have to use up all your simplification attempts, you still have to brush it.
After improving her alchemist level and learning the Green Lotus Sword Technique, Yun Jin suddenly felt that her 157 simplifications were not enough for her to use!
You still have to find an opportunity to show your power in front of others.
Seeing Yun Jin rolling her eyes with a quirky look, the pharmacist couldn't help but smile, "Little sister, do you want to become an alchemist too? Dreams are great, but we have to take it one step at a time. If you start working hard now, ten years from now, maybe you can become a pharmacist like your sister. Who knows, one day, you can become an alchemist yourself."
Yun Jin nodded: "Sister, it's like this."
Yunjin looked very well behaved, and the pharmacist couldn't help but smile as he listened.
"I think I'm a genius," Yun Jin said seriously. "I think I should be able to become an alchemist directly."
Pharmacist: “???”
"Emotional value +30!"
Yun Jin blinked her eyes and said, "When I become an alchemist, I will definitely not forget your guidance today. When the time comes, I will take you flying."
The pharmacist was at a loss for words and could only say, "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for that day."
Yunjin wanted to speak more.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her collar and Yue Zhao's face turned black: "Yun Jin! Why are you running around?"
Yun Jin was unconvinced: "I'm not running around, I'm looking for medicinal materials. Big Brother, it's better to buy herbs to refine pills instead of buying pills. There's a big price difference between the two, and I also want to save some money."
The corners of Yue Zhao's lips twitched. "Everyone knows that refining pills yourself is more economical! But, you also need others to be willing to help you!"
In the entire Tianxing Sect, the only alchemist above the fifth rank was Huo Lie, the Peak Master of the Divine Pill Peak! Apart from him, there were only a handful of alchemists in the entire Tianxing Sect.
If it was Zhao Wuji who asked, these alchemists would naturally be eager to deliver the pills to their door, but what about their Tianjian Peak?
There is no alchemist who would care about them!
"Why do we need their help?" Yun Jin said confidently, "We can train an alchemist ourselves."
Yue Zhao knocked her and said, "Without this kind of inheritance, how can we cultivate it?"
On the mainland, the most advanced alchemy techniques are monopolized by the Xuandan Sect, and the rest are passed down from generation to generation.
If others want to learn, they have to join them.
If you don’t have amazing talent, they won’t accept you.
For ordinary people, becoming an alchemist is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"I'm such a talented person, I think I can give it a try." Yun Jin said confidently.
"Pfft." The pharmacist next to him couldn't help but chuckle.
Yue Zhao was embarrassed. He grabbed Yun Jin tightly and tried to drag her away. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I made you laugh."
"What are you laughing at?" Yun Jin hugged the pillar and refused to leave: "I believe I must have a talent for this."
Yue Zhao's face turned even darker.
He shouldn't have brought Yunjin out.
Speaking of which.
Why did he feel that this little junior sister was so soft, cute and adorable when they first met?
Why on earth did he have this illusion?
The pharmacist woman chuckled and said, "Little sister, it's good to have ideals. However, you have to take it step by step. To become an alchemist, the foundation is to identify herbs. This is not just a matter of recognizing them. Even if it is the same herb, the medicinal properties contained in it will be different due to external factors such as the growing environment and planting methods. A compulsory course for pharmacists is to learn to be friendly with herbs and sense their unique properties. For example, this Biling grass in front of you is the main ingredient for refining Biling Pills. Why don't you try to sense it and see how much medicinal power it has and whether it has other properties."
The woman wanted to tell Yunjin that becoming a pharmacist was already very difficult.
Not to mention becoming an alchemist.
"Okay." Yun Jin agreed immediately: "Big Brother, let me go, I'll try."
Yue Zhao gritted his teeth and let go for the moment.
"It's okay. Children are like this. They think everything in the world is simple. Once she tries it herself, she will know how difficult it is." The woman said with a smile.
Yue Zhao's expression relaxed and he was about to nod and say something.
Then I heard the clear sound of Yunjin.
"Bi Ling Grass. Age: 50 years. 80% of its medicinal properties remain. This Bi Ling Grass grew in an overly humid environment, so its medicinal properties are somewhat cold. It's best to neutralize it before use."
"This kid made up a story that seemed quite realistic." Yue Zhao was laughing when he turned around and saw the woman with a look of astonishment on her face.
Yue Zhao: "???"
Don't scare him!
This expression!
Could Yunjin really guess right?
