The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Although the instructor gave everyone two quarters of an hour to prepare the life potion, Su Qingning finished it in less than ten minutes, and this was the result of her controlling the speed.

In fact, there is no way around it. During these five years, Su Qingning has become an imperial-level pharmacist under Wuji's guidance, and is at the same level as the dean of the pharmacist branch.

Now, she came to participate in the entrance examination of the Pharmacist Branch of the Imperial College. It was basically a big shot suddenly descending on the novice village to attack from a low dimensionality.

The tutor was originally standing there watching every candidate, but gradually his attention was attracted by Su Qingning. Until a bottle of light green potion was gently placed on the table, he could no longer control his steps and walked over.

He picked up the bottle of light green potion and examined it carefully. The shock in his eyes became even greater. This was actually a bottle of perfect quality potion with 100% efficacy!

You should know that to prepare medicine, you can't just randomly mix the herbs together, but you have to remove the dross and retain the essence. In other words, you have to extract the truly effective parts of the herbs and combine them into medicine.

However, not every pharmacist can perform this step perfectly. Some problems will occur more or less. For example, too much of a certain herb is extracted, while too little of another herb is extracted. In the end, although the prepared potion is of perfect quality, its efficacy will definitely not be 100%. Just like the bottle of potion that the instructor just prepared himself, its efficacy is only 99%, and this is the best he can do.

According to the instructor's understanding, the only person in the entire Magic and Martial Continent who can prepare primary potions with 100% perfect quality is Dean Wu of their Pharmacist Branch. However, this is something that the Dean can only do after breaking through to the Emperor-level Pharmacist.

But today, a young girl who came to the Pharmacist Branch for an exam actually did it, and she was only fifteen years old.

The instructor looked at Su Qingning with surprise in his eyes. His absolute touch and perfect perception of medicinal materials showed that he was a natural genius in pharmacy!

"What's your name?" the instructor asked Su Qingning.

"Su Qingning." Su Qingning answered obediently.

The instructor nodded, then announced loudly, "Student Su Qingning, congratulations, you have passed the assessment. From today on, you are a student of the Imperial College Pharmacist Branch."

He suppressed his inner excitement and tried to make his voice sound calm, but everyone still noticed the excitement hidden in his tone.

However, it was obvious that everyone's attention was not here. Every candidate was shocked by Su Qingning's speed.

Holy crap! So fast!

This is the voice in the hearts of every candidate. Then, their already nervous hearts became even more anxious, and the operations in their hands became hurried and flustered.

Soon, the two quarters of an hour were up, and all the candidates stopped their operations. There was a bottle of medicine on the table in front of them, but the colors were different.

The instructor started checking from the first row. When he finished checking the last candidate, his face had completely darkened, like the color of the bottom of a pot.

"Look at what you've concocted. I asked you to make a life-saving potion, not a life-threatening one. With the messy potions you've got, forget about saving people. It's a good thing they don't poison them to death."

The tutor ruthlessly criticized every candidate. Of course, Su Qingning was not among these candidates because she was now a freshman at the Imperial College.

After hearing the instructor's words, the nine candidates lowered their heads in shame, but there were still a few candidates who objected unwillingly.

"Teacher, this is totally unfair. At our age, we are at most apprentices in alchemy. Some of us have never even touched a potion before. How can we possibly learn it after just one demonstration?"

"Really?" The instructor frowned and pointed at Su Qingning and asked, "Then why was she able to make it?"

The candidates were choked. Looking at the bottle of clean, clear, light green potion on the table in front of Su Qingning, they felt even more ashamed of themselves, but soon they found a reason.

"Maybe she learned how to make life potions from other pharmacists before!"

After hearing what the candidate said, the instructor looked at Su Qingning and asked, "Student Su Qingning, have you ever learned how to prepare a life potion before?"

Su Qingning nodded honestly, "I have learned it."

tutor:"……"

The eyes of the other nine candidates lit up, and they couldn't help feeling a little surprised, as if they saw hope.

However, their hopes were soon dashed by their mentor.

"Alright, so what if this person has learned how to make a life potion before?" The instructor glanced at the nine examinees, seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, and said in a cold voice, "Do you think today's test requires you to make a life potion? No, it's not."

Nine candidates: "..." They suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You should have noticed! There are three medicinal herbs on the table in front of you, but..." The instructor changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Only one of the herbs is used to prepare the primary life potion."

what? !

The nine candidates were shocked. They quickly looked down at the two remaining medicinal herbs on the table. After observing carefully, they finally found the problem.

At first glance, these two medicinal materials are basically the same; but if you look closely, you will find that although one of the medicinal materials looks similar in appearance, they are actually two medicinal materials with different appearances.

Seeing that everyone had discovered the problem, the instructor then told them the real assessment.

"This assessment tests your observation skills. As long as you can pick out the correct one from the three herbs, you will pass the assessment."

The instructor looked at the nine pale-faced candidates, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "It's a pity that among you, besides Su Qingning, there is only..."

As he spoke, the instructor pointed to a rather introverted-looking boy in the second-to-last row on the right and said, "This boy is the only one who chose the correct herb."

"So, in this assessment, except for Su Qingning and this student, all of you failed." The instructor announced.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other eight candidates hung their heads in frustration, like defeated roosters. Although they were unwilling to accept this, they had indeed not noticed any difference in the medicinal herbs. Therefore, they could only accept this result, leaving the Imperial Academy in disgrace, and then fight again next year.

Su Qingning and the lucky candidate passed the assessment. From that moment on, they were freshmen at the Imperial College's Pharmacist Branch.
