After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Soon, more and more young apprentices stared blankly at the light screen in front of them, their hearts filled with bitterness.

After a long pause, they had no choice but to stand up and leave with sighs.

Despite being apprentice medicine children for three years, there were still many things they couldn't remember.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of medicinal herbs, and millions of variations.

For someone with weak mental strength, let alone imprinting all of them.

Even just memorizing it is not an easy task.

This is precisely why some alchemists repeatedly check the formula when refining pills.

At this moment, Qin Chuan remained calm, his eyes fixed on the light screen in front of him, completely ignoring everything around him.

His eyes were fixed on the ever-changing herbs, and his movements became increasingly fluid, gradually attracting the attention of some losers.

As time passed again, by the eighth hour, only five thousand of the twenty thousand apprentices remained to be branded.

The surroundings remained quiet, and those who had given up refused to leave, watching silently.

By the tenth hour, only two thousand of the original five thousand remained.

At this moment, these people's eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at the light screen in front of them, constantly imprinting what they had learned.

Everyone wants that one and only spot, hoping to rise above their circumstances and achieve great success!

Qin Chuan remained calm, and his speed drew the attention of elders like Di Yun.

After twelve hours, less than a thousand people remained in the entire square, still going crazy over each other, but many were already on the verge of giving up.

But when he looked around and saw that everyone was gritting their teeth, he frantically tried to figure out the medicinal properties in the picture.

By the twentieth hour, they had been working without sleep for nearly two days and two nights.

As a result, fewer than 800 people are still persisting in this place today.

They were all acting like madmen, seemingly forgetting everything.

Until the very moment the twenty-fourth hour arrived.

An elderly man who looked to be in his fifties suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Even her originally half-white hair turned completely white.

This is clearly a sign of overdrawing one's mental energy.

This scene caused a buzz!

This caused many of the apprentices who were still persevering to turn pale and, still shaken, give up on the trial.

Because they realized that if they continued to force their way through, they might end up buried here today.

After being helped away by the other apprentices, these people looked at the remaining five hundred people with fear and respect in their eyes.

Only by persisting further can one truly understand the terrifying nature of these people.

To be able to imprint the essence of 100,000 herbs and millions of variations onto the present day is no ordinary feat!

"call…"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan's eyes were dry. He closed them to rest for a moment, then opened them again and stared at the herbs in front of him.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer things remain in the square at this moment.

Four hundred people, three hundred people, two hundred people…

Thirty hours later, only eleven people were still persisting in branding!

In the vast square, only these eleven people were scattered in different places, engaging in their own madness.

Qin Chuan also began to frown from time to time.

He needed to carefully recall the herbs in the scene before him before he could remember them.

Some herbs, in particular, are easily confused and extremely difficult to identify.

It requires examining different details, and some even require tasting them personally.

Therefore, since there is only a picture, meticulous observation is required to determine the mark.

Apart from Qin Chuan, the other ten people were all pale-faced and their eyes were flashing with ferocity.

They have persevered until now and are absolutely unwilling to give up.

This trial is very challenging, and in order to eliminate the survivors as quickly as possible.

If more than ten herbs are mistakenly identified or overlooked, they will be automatically considered discarded.

This also eliminated those who were just pretending to be experts, making it clear to everyone who was the strongest among the medicine apprentices.

Just then, one of the ten people's expressions changed drastically, and he stared blankly as the light screen in front of him disappeared on its own.

He stood there, stunned, speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he staggered to his feet with a bitter laugh and was helped away from the table.

All the apprentices around were breathing heavily as they looked at the ten people who remained in the square.

These ten people are already destined to pass the first round of testing.

However, no one chose to stand up!

Even if one is destined to pass, how can someone who wants to become an alchemist not be a proud and arrogant person?

Since we've persisted this far, we should naturally compete to see who's better and who's number one!

This mentality was shared by everyone in the area, while the 20,000 apprentices around them all stared in awe.

They were speculating about who... would be the winner of this competition.

The eight elders, including Di Yun, remained silent and did not announce the end of the trial, but instead gazed at each other intently.

As time went by, the ten people, including Qin Chuan, could be considered the best among the medicine apprentices.

Each of them possessed the qualities of a master alchemist, and at this moment, their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at the light screen before them; no one gave up.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan closed his eyes, then opened them again after a moment, looking at the light screen in front of him.

In this scene, a medicinal herb appears.

This herb is extremely rare; there is none among the 100,000 herbs.

Rather, it is a rare herb that emerges only after countless changes have occurred.

This single plant alone is enough to leave even the most knowledgeable cultivators in the Southern Region bewildered.

"It's getting harder and harder, but... that's what makes it interesting!"

Qin Chuan's lips curled slightly, his expression revealing determination.

At this moment, the aura of a cultivator on his body faded considerably, replaced by the demeanor of a master alchemist.

Upon entering the Wendan Sect, he discovered that he possessed a far superior ability to catalyze and memorize these herbs compared to others.

Or rather, this is no longer innate talent, but a natural gift, the natural gift of plants!

Regarding this, Qin Chuan recalled what Wu Daozi had said before.

He had a vague understanding that he originally did not possess this talent.

Instead, it comes from... the tenth-grade spiritual herb, the Ghost-Faced Flower!

After an unknown amount of time, the light screen in front of the ten people gradually dimmed and disappeared.

They answered ten questions incorrectly and were disqualified.

Eventually, only two people remained in the entire square.

One was Qin Chuan, and the other was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression.

The two continued!

The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Chuan from time to time, his eyes revealing madness and resentment.

"I entered the alchemy lineage at the age of twelve, and it has been twenty-four years since then. I have spent nearly half my life learning from a medicine apprentice. How could I possibly lose!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at a medicinal herb in front of him.

Now that we've already made nine mistakes, this is the last chance, but this herb...

He doesn't know him...

After a long while, the middle-aged man, his face pale, gave a bitter smile.

Immediately, he silently stood up, memorized the herb, and turned to walk outside.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was the only one present in the vast square!
