Double Cultivation
second test
Seeing the doubt on everyone's faces, Su Yang sighed inwardly and spoke in a loud voice, "Who here has the pill? No matter what kind of pill it is."
The Alchemy Master quickly realized what he was trying to do with the pill.
"i have one, Senior." Senior Zeng suddenly raised his hand and spoke. "However, this isn't an ordinary pill, it's made when I'm experimenting with new pill recipes, and it's not finished yet, so no one in this world but me knows the ingredients."
"perfect. Let me take a look at it for a second." Su Yang casually said.
Senior Zeng nodded and gave him the pill without hesitation. Because when an Alchemist tried to create a new pill recipe, they would usually keep it a secret until the pill was finished, let alone share the pill with others, because it would let people eat unfinished dishes as cooks.
Once the pill was in his hands, Su Yang placed it right in front of his nose and sniffed it in but slowly.
"Hmmm.." Su Yang closed his eyes to ponder.
A short while later, he began to list the ingredients used to make this unknown pill, "Three grams of Spirit Grass, four grams of Strengthening Powder, one blade of Harmony Leaf…"
By the time Su Yang finished listing all the ingredients, Senior Zeng's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Lu-Excellent! I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I could do nothing but believe it! You actually know the list of each ingredient perfectly!" Senior Zeng exclaimed a moment later, causing the other Alchemy Masters to take a deep breath.
Su Yang then said, "Relax…"
After saying those few words, Su Yang sniffed the pill again, before saying, "This pill was made 33 days ago, and came out of the cauldron around late afternoon."
Senior Zeng's jaw came down from his mouth after hearing his words, but Su Yang had not finished speaking, and he continued, "Judging from the ingredients you used to make this pill, I know that you're trying to make something that'll help your 'disease' down there. I recommend adding four drops of blood from your tortoise and two more grams of the reinforcing powder. It'll fix your 'sword' for a while."
"?!?!?!" Senior Zeng nearly fell out of her chair after hearing Su Yang's words, her facial expression looked as if she had just seen the ghost of her ancestor.
Meanwhile, the other people in the room looked at Senior Zeng while trying their hardest to resist their urge to burst into laughter.
Even his own disciple, Luo Yixiao, tried to hide the redness on his face by throwing a face away.
"…"
Senior Zeng's face flushed red in embarrassment. What did he do to deserve such treatment? He had never lost many faces at once before. And if not for Su Yang's status, he would have long since beaten Su Yang over his unnecessary comments.
However, no matter how angry he was, Senior Zeng controlled his emotions and bowed to Su Yang, before speaking, "Thank you, for your advice, Senior."
Su Yang nodded and spoke while staring at the people there, "Is there anyone who still doubts my words?"
The people there quickly shook their heads.
Su Yang waved his sleeve, causing many storage bags to appear. He then handed one to each person in the room.
"In each storage bag there are 100 different scented bags, each giving off a unique aroma. For the second test, you all have 4 hours to kiss each of these bags and memorize them. After 4 hours have passed, I will explain the second part of the exam.You can start now."
People there immediately opened their storage pockets and found 100 small, flavorful pouches inside, each with a unique scent and a number inscribed on the pouch.
They then begin to smell each scented pouch one by one, taking a few minutes to remember the smell and number before moving on to the next scented pouch.
4 Hours later, Su Yang clapped his hands and said, "Put everything back into the storage bag and throw it into the middle of the room."
Some time later, a pile of storage bags was placed on the floor beside Su Yang.
"Now I will give each of you a bottle of scented substance."
Su Yang then gave each of them a small glass bottle containing a few drops of liquid.
"i've used 5 different scents from 100 scented bags to create a substance in the bottle with every bottle in this room emitting a unique scent, and you all have 10 minutes to smell the substance in the bottle and find out which of the 5 scents I used to make the mixture. Once you get the answer, you can re-seal the bottle, because it will state that you have finished. "
The people there looked at the glass bottle in their hands with puzzled expressions on their faces.
When they opened the bottle and smelled the scent, they cried out inwardly, 'This is impossible! I'm not a pig, I don't have a dog nose either! How am I supposed to know which scent she mixed in it ?! '
Seeing the confused and troubled expressions on their faces, Su Yang smiled behind his mask, 'If it's too easy, I don't need this examination to find a disciple!'
While most of the people in the room had trouble sniffing the correct scent, Tang Lingxi sniffed the bottle and casually sealed the bottle and placed it down.
3 minutes later, Wang Shuren also sealed the bottle with a confident expression on his face.
At the 4th minute, a beautiful young lady who was not Luo Yixiao sealed the bottle.
5 minutes after the exam, Senior Zeng and Bai Lihua sealed their bottles with a interval of a few seconds
6 minutes after the exam, Luo Yixiao finally sealed her own bottle.
In the 7th minute, Su Xun and a few others sealed their bottles.
During the last 3 minutes, the other ten people sealed their bottles, while the remaining participants showed a look of defeat on their faces.
At the end of the test, less than 20 people managed to seal their bottles.
