Almost nine-tenths of the originally more than one hundred participants had been cut off, leaving only ten pharmacist students to remain for the next stage.
Most of the students who managed to go to the next stage were secretly happy. It must be known that the skills of each students didnât have any big difference. For them, the only reason that they had passed was because the search for medicinal herbs wasnât just based on oneâs strength; it was also based on oneâs luck.
But, if someoneâs luck was rotten and had their formula coincide with anotherâs, then those people would fight each others to obtain the herb they needed.
Thinking about their tension just now, the eight individuals, who had managed to pass the first stage, couldnât help but look at Shen Yanxiao who was the first person to get to the second stage.
At this time, Shen Yanxiao had put all her medicinal herbs inside the basket and covered it with a lid, so no one could see the medicinal herbs inside.
âThis kid moves really fast, didnât expect that he can snatch the first spot.â The other students, who had luckily passed the first stage, had a complex expression while staring at Shen Yanxiaoâs back. They couldnât believe that this freshman student had actually passed the first stage.
It must be known that more than one hundred and twenty participating students had been cut off, and those who had passed the first stage were the junior and senior yearâs top student elites.
âThatâs because a low level potion only needs a few medicinal herbs,â another student snorted in disdain.
âYou mean, heâs going to concoct a low level potion?â
âWhat do you think? How long do you think since he had been enrolled in this school? And how old is that kid anyway? Even if he had already been exposed to pharmaceutics even before enrolling to this school, do you think a thirteen-year-old kid can concoct an intermediate level potion? Donât joke around! If one wishes to concoct an intermediate level potion, they need to be exposed to pharmaceutics for at least five years. Do you think that this kid has begun studying pharmaceutics since he was eight years old?â
Several students began discussing with one another and thought Shen Yanxiao wasnât really competitive.
The most important part of the competition was presenting the concocted potion, so even if he took the lead and managed to get the first spot, it still didnât mean anything.
Although two among them who had passed the first stage later were planning to concoct a low level potion, most of them still possessed a certain strength and would also concoct an intermediate level potion.
People would know the difference between a low level potion and an intermediate level potion even if they used their toes to think.
The mentor just made sure that everyone was in their positions and didnât say any more nonsense. After looking at the time, he immediately said to start refining the herbs.
The refinement of herbs should only take about ten minutes, and this ten minutes was very important to them. To determine the success of the potion they would concoct, they needed to at least refine half the number of their medicinal herbs within this ten minutes.
Right at this moment, they couldnât spare any thoughts about the situation of others
Immediately, all of them started to rapidly refine their own medicinal herbs accordingly.
Despite being busy refining the medicinal herbs in his hands, Shangguan Xiao couldnât help but stare at the back of Shen Yanxiaoâs petite figure.
Although that figure was very petite, it had completely hidden all the actions that her hands were doing in front.
Shangguan Xiao tried to see what Shen Yanxiao was refining several times now, yet in the end, he always failed to see it.
In fact, it wasnât only just Shangguan Xiao who had failed to see what she was doing, even the crowd on the sidelines also couldnât see those medicinal herbs that Shen Yanxiao was refining.
Shen Yanxiao was occupying the medicine refining table at the very front, and it just so happened that the big banner of the Pharmaceutical Branch that was ten meters high and three meters wide was also in front, so this covered Shen Yanxiaoâs figure from the eyes of the public.
