After traveling through time, I stole all over the three realms

There were fifteen people in a group, two people in charge, and three instructors as chief examiners. Shen Mian followed the team in, and couldn't help thinking that this configuration was stricter than the modern college entrance examination.

Fifteen people were brought to a room which was exceptionally spacious. Fifteen tables were placed inside. On the tables were various kinds of elixirs. Next to each table was an alchemy cauldron. At a glance, the fifteen positions were exactly the same.

"Another senior brother is not feeling well today, so I will be the invigilator for you." Qian Hao stood in front, scanning the crowd, and paused slightly when his eyes fell on Shen Mian, then said nonchalantly, "Although there is one less person, I will still strictly supervise every candidate, and I also believe that you are all upright and honest gentlemen."

He looked solemn and righteous: "Now, I will call out the names and you will take your seats in order. Please don't worry. The medicinal materials and alchemy furnaces on each table are exactly the same. It is absolutely fair and just."

A man said, "Brother, don't worry, we all believe in the fairness of Fengqi College!"

Another echoed: "Yes, yes, I believe that everyone in the academy is as fair and just as my senior brother!"

Qian Hao was obviously very pleased: "I reported my name, and you will sit at the first table on the right. The ones behind will sit at the back, and so on. Shen Mian, Wang Wei..."

Shen Mian followed his instructions and sat in the first seat. This seat was at the front and he could not see the other people at all. The seats were far apart and he could only vaguely see the table on the right with his peripheral vision.

As soon as she sat down, she felt something was wrong. She looked around calmly and found a small formation under her feet.

After breaking so many formations set up by Yan Liang, she also had some understanding of formations. If she was not mistaken, this should be a small isolation formation, a bit like a barrier.

She had some guesses in her mind but didn't show them on her face. She kept silent and wanted to see what would happen next.

After everyone was seated, Qian Hao announced the content of the test: "Everyone, complete the refining of the second-level yellow-grade pill Qi-gathering Pill within two hours. Those who fail to complete it within the time limit will be eliminated. Those who complete it after the time limit will be deducted points as appropriate. Those who explode the furnace will be eliminated. Those who complete it ahead of schedule and with good quality will be given extra points. The rest of the people who complete it will be scored based on the quantity and quality of the pills, and the best ones will be promoted. The required medicinal materials are on the table. You are not allowed to look at the pill formula, and you are not allowed to bring your own medicinal materials. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Qi Gathering Pill is a relatively common type of elixir, and the content of this exam is indeed not very difficult.

Fengqi Academy values ​​talent. Even if one is weak upon admission, as long as one has talent, one can be reborn in the academy.

Therefore, the entrance test will not choose a pill of too high a grade for students to refine, but will choose to use low-grade pills to test students' abilities.

After Shen Mian was promoted to Spirit General, her five senses became extremely sharp. She heard someone whisper, "Ah... It's only been two hours, and we can't blow up the furnace yet. Is it too late?"

She was puzzled. Shouldn't alchemy usually take half an hour to complete? If it was a low-level elixir, the time could be compressed. Two hours was more than enough.

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Brother, if someone blows up the furnace and disrupts the progress of others' alchemy, what should we do?"

Qian Hao nodded mysteriously: "That's a good question, but don't worry, just look at your feet."

Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously, and Shen Mian also pretended to lower his head. After seeing the formation gradually appearing under his feet, he pretended to show a surprised expression.

Qian Hao was very satisfied with their reaction: "This formation can isolate damage. If the furnace next to you explodes, it will not affect your own furnace. Don't worry."

"I understand, thank you, senior brother, for clarifying the confusion."

Qian Hao nodded and glanced at everyone: "Any other questions? If not, the test will begin now!"

Almost the moment his voice fell, everyone began to process the medicinal materials nervously and fiercely, racing against time.

Shen Mian acted calmly. The recipe for the Qi Gathering Pill was simple, and it had now completely appeared in her mind. Her movements were not slow, but seemed particularly leisurely, in stark contrast to the other people who were in a hurry.

Qian Hao walked down to inspect and saw that most people were selecting spiritual herbs in an orderly manner. Some were trembling slightly due to nervousness. There was even one person who seemed to have forgotten the recipe of the Qi Gathering Pill. After selecting a few spiritual herbs, he didn't know where to start and was sweating profusely in anxiety.

When he passed by Shen Mian, he saw that she was not in a hurry and was calm. He snorted in dissatisfaction and said in his heart: Do you really think you are still a genius in alchemy? I want to see how you can make the Qi Gathering Pill today!

Seeing Shen Mian pick up a dark purple spiritual herb, Qian Hao couldn't help but smile complacently, with a calmness in his eyes as if he was determined to win.

He walked slowly to another place to see others.

Shen Mian picked up the spiritual herb and subconsciously put it aside, then suddenly stopped and took it in front of him to look at it again.

wrong.

The essential elixir in the recipe of Qi Gathering Pill is Licorice root, which has five leaves, oval, dark purple, smooth edges and red stems.

Although this magical herb also has five leaves, dark purple, and oval leaves, almost exactly the same as licorice, its leaf edges are serrated and can be easily overlooked if you don't look closely.

This is not licorice root, but purple safflower, which is extremely similar to licorice root but has conflicting medicinal properties!

Shen Mian then put it down.

She knew that the test at Fengqi College couldn't be so simple. Look, if she hadn't been careful, she would have really let the purple grass pass.

Purple herb is extremely rare, and there are very few books that record it, but Shen Mian has seen this magical medicine in the book that Chen Xing gave her, and she knows its appearance and habits very well.

However, it is said that purple herb is quite hard to find. I didn’t expect that Fengqi College would use purple herb when recruiting students.

Shen Mian continued to look for other spiritual medicines. She quickly picked out the other spiritual medicines, twice as fast as others, but there was no joy on her face.

She frowned slightly, a thoughtful look on her face.

All the elixirs were found, except for one, which she could not find even after searching through all the medicinal materials.

Licorice root.

There is no licorice root in this pile of magical medicines!
