Chapter 309 – The First One to Advance a Stage (2)
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 didn’t have any big difference. For them, the only reason that they had passed was because the search for medicinal herbs wasn’t just based on one’s strength; it was also based on one’s luck.
But, if someone’s luck was rotten and had their formula coincide with another’s, 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, couldn’t 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.
“This kid moves really fast, didn’t expect that he can snatch the first spot.” The other students, who had luckily passed the first stage, had a complex expression while staring at Shen Yanxiao’s back. They couldn’t 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 year’s top student elites.
“That’s because a low level potion only needs a few medicinal herbs,” another student snorted in disdain.
“You mean, he’s going to concoct a low level potion?”
“What 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? Don’t 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?”
“That’s true.”
[Annoying Sky: Remember the episode where SYX concocts an intermediate level potion in front of the second grade students.... Yeah okay, maybe none of you were there or were stupid enough to forget it.
Detective Razpyon: The author killed them so SYX could play the role of the dark horse of this competition. All for the sake of a satisfying face slapping. XDXD]
Several students began discussing with one another and thought Shen Yanxiao wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t help but stare at the back of Shen Yanxiao’s petite figure.
Although that figure was very petite, it had completely hidden all the actions that her hands were doing in front.
[Annoying Sky: I swear if you got the meaning another way.... Yuki grab the knife, I, your great beautiful and talented deity master allow you to kill them.]
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 wasn’t only just Shangguan Xiao who had failed to see what she was doing, even the crowd on the sidelines also couldn’t 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 Yanxiao’s figure from the eyes of the public.
[Razpyon: I’m honestly having a hard time imagining their position at all.XD]
