Chapter 274: Level Assessment 2
The Grand Pharmacist glanced coldly at Ye Fei, then waved to Bai Yueze: "Go out first."
Bai Yueze nodded, then gave Ye Fei a reassuring look: "Don't worry, the Grand Pharmacist is a very nice person and won't bully the younger generation."
Ye Fei smiled silently. Bai Yueze left the room and closed the door, leaving only her and the Grand Pharmacist in the large space.
The Grand Pharmacist stepped forward and said, "You said you came to take a level assessment, but why can't I smell a trace of medicine on you?"
Ye Fei raised her sleeve and sniffed it a few times. Indeed, there was no particular medicinal scent on her.
To this, she could only answer truthfully: "The reason you can't smell the medicinal fragrance on me is because I usually refine pills in my spiritual space, so the medicinal fragrance doesn't remain on my body."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the Grand Pharmacist's eyes: "You refine pills in your spiritual space?"
Ye Fei nodded: "Yes. Senior, when does the level assessment begin?"
"Are you in a hurry?" The chief pharmacist glanced at her.
“Cultivation is indeed very important to me, after all, I still need to participate in the Trial Month in ten days,” Ye Fei said.
The Grand Pharmacist raised an eyebrow: "The Trial Month is a joint training event organized by the three major advanced spiritual master academies of the Eastern Continent. Which academy are you from?"
"This junior comes from Lingfeng Academy."
"I see, you do have some skill." The Grand Pharmacist commented in a low voice, but his tone turned sharp as he said, "Girl, you chose to come to the Pill Refining Association, so you should know that the alchemist level assessment here is very strict, and you can't enter just by strength."
Ye Fei nodded, her clear voice neither humble nor arrogant: "I understand, please give me the question, senior."
The Grand Pharmacist said no more, and casually took three kinds of medicinal herbs from the shelf next to him and placed them in front of Ye Fei: "You have one hour to refine a pill containing these three herbs. If you fail to do so within the time limit, it will be considered a failure."
Ye Fei picked up the herbs and examined them. After a while, she looked up at the stern-faced Grand Pharmacist standing in front of her and smiled, "Senior, may I refine pills in my spiritual space?"
"Do as you please, as long as I can see you refine a complete pill in the end."
Ye Fei put the herbs into her storage ring, then sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered the spiritual space in spirit form.
Inside the mental space, Ye Fei took out the three herbs and placed them in front of her, her eyes slightly narrowed.
If she hadn't memorized the Hundred Herbs Classic perfectly from the start, she would have been completely ripped off by this great pharmacist.
These three herbs are Wind and Thunder Grass, Fire Spirit Mushroom, and Mystic Ice Flower.
Among them, Fire Spirit Mushroom is an extremely hot medicinal material, while Mystic Ice Flower is an extremely cold medicinal material. Putting these two extremely hot and extremely cold medicinal materials together, which are mutually antagonistic, together will not only fail to produce a pill, but also risk causing the furnace to explode.
There are two solutions.
Firstly, replace either the Fire Spirit Mushroom or the Mystic Ice Flower with a milder medicinal herb.
Secondly, without replacing any of the medicinal materials, add a drop of Jade Immortal Vine juice to neutralize the medicinal properties of Fire Spirit Mushroom and Mystic Ice Flower.
The Grand Pharmacist said that the pill containing these three medicinal herbs must be refined within one hour, which means that no medicinal herbs can be substituted. Therefore, the second method can only be used.
Ye Fei glanced at a lush green vine growing on the black soil. Fortunately, Lian had told her before that the Jade Immortal Vine could be used as a medicinal herb to neutralize the effects of other medicines. She happened to find some when she went on a mercenary mission, so she took one with her.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of her casual picking that today's evaluation was successfully completed.
