The poison pill felt extremely heavy in Poppy's hands. Even so, in front of many people, it was impossible to bargain with Xiu Jimei. His reputation as the poison flower emperor would be tarnished. So without any ill thoughts, he directly stuffed the poison pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth. There was a cold sensation that broke in the mouth. It is not too bitter and is rather sweet.
Poppy was relieved. “Did you add sugar to it?”
“Not only sugar but also sweetened condensed milk. I fear the effect is too strong if it is too plain,” replied Xiu Jimei proudly.
“Lalu ... what is the main effect of the poison you made?”
“Of course this is made of a poisonous spiritual mushroom that has a hallucinatory or illusory effect on anyone who accidentally inhales its aroma. They will fall in a beautiful dream without end. With the addition of some poisonous plants or flowers that I found along the previous path, the effect turned even stronger,” he said at length.
Poppy stunned. He felt a little sleepy now and his head was a bit dizzy. “What ... what effect is stronger?”
“Of course the opposite of a good dream. It is a nightmare poison without end.”
Like there was lightning in the blue sky, Poppy who had no time to react immediately fell asleep. If he had known earlier, it would probably have prepared mentally first. Now he's taken to a terrible nightmare!
Xiu Jimei was slightly surprised by his quick poison reaction. “Will he be fine> I have not made an antidote from this poison,” he said a little pity.
“...” All students who watched directly goosebumps.
Ming Zise calmed him down. “Don't worry, his forehead is full of blessings and not death, that means he'll be fine. I'll go to the God of Medicine to prescribe the antidote.”
That way, Xiu Jimei was slightly relieved, Bai Shiyu felt sorry for Poppy who was now showing a nightmare expression in her sleep.
“How long does the poison effect work?”
“Actually this poison is a sleeping flower poison. Won't wake up if it doesn't resolve itself or if it finds the antidote.”
“...” Bai Shiyu was lucky for not being the one to test the poison this time.
Due to Poppy falling asleep from Xiu Jimei's poison, Bai Shiyu carried her on the shoulder like a sack, then left the testing ground. The other group was eventually taken by Ming Zise.
Without feeling it, it was already noon. All groups were not given rest. They had to go to a very large medicinal field. The surrounding residents usually help the alchemist members take care of the herb fields.
Upon arrival there, they had to clear the field of herbs from the grass, nourish it to harvest. There are some herbs that are time to harvest.
Xiu Jimei's group is assigned to clean the grass in the field of herbs first. They were faced with a plot of land filled with ice grass. Ice grass is usually snow white when it is an adult. But when still young, the color is not much different from ordinary grass even a little bluish.
The ice grass before them was young and could barely tell the difference between the weeds and the medicinal plants. Yan Yujie involuntarily uprooted the green grass that was nearby. Who knows, a committee watching them directly hit the back of his hand with a small stick.
“That's ice grass! Don't take it wrong. If not, you will have to pay for all the grass that you unplug.”
Again the organizer who heard the answer was also upset and again hit the back of his hand.
“Price for a blade of grass can already buy the emperor concubine brocade dress. This medicine was very effective for cultivators suffering from heat poison.”
“Oh.” Yan Yujie origin responded and he did not care too much.
This time, he was careful to uproot the weeds growing around the icy grass. Ice grass has a slightly bluish or pale white color, while wild grass is fresh green. While Xiu Jimei was already busy plucking the weeds without doing anything wrong. Even the Tuit Tuit itself flew low over the icy grass and uprooted the weeds with its beak.
“...” Can I lose to a bird? Yan Yujie.
Yan Yujie wanted to let the ancient white spirit bear cub to help him pluck out the grass. But bears have no fingers other than the typical bear's footprints.
They all had to squat down to uproot all the weeds growing. Their waists were instantly numb from crouching and bending for a long time. While the specialty medicinal fields of ice grass alone were quite vast. The seventh must clean all the weeds before nightfall.
Xiu Jimei will also lose his temper if he has to do the same in a few hours. They had already plucked the weeds at least spent four sticks of incense (±2 hours). To overcome it, he slapped the ground that was nearby using spiritual energy.
There was a slight tremor after the spiritual energy he had put into the ground started to spread around. All the ice grass also swayed lightly. Soon, all the weeds were suddenly plucked from the roots and bounced upwards.
Xiu Jikai swiftly restrained all of the weeds with spiritual energy then put them aside. Finally, the icy grass crop fields were clean of uninvited weeds.
“….”
Wang Xuyue as well as the others could only be stunned, forgetting the pain in the waist for a while. If it knew Xiu Jimei could do it without difficulty, from the start they would not have to tire of bending over.
After cleaning the weeds, they also provide nutrients and water them carefully. It just so happened that it was late afternoon so the time was suitable to water all the ice grass. After taking care of a large field of ice grass, they rest and drink more water than usual.
“After this, we should also read the book of the collection of herbs and poisons. Tomorrow we will conduct a closed and individual herbal selection exam,” Xuan Xing said.
Wang Xuyue had not even read any related books about memorizing them. He also could not cheat during the exam. The others were also helpless, except for the twins who remained calm. Yan Yujie obviously did not take the exam too seriously this time around. But Jia Lishan seemed to guess the man's thoughts.
“If we fail the exam this time or the scores determined are less than we should, then we should work here for a month without pay. So do your best to meet the points.”
“...” Yan Yujie who initially did not take the exam seriously was not so to laze around.
“By the way, the poison Xiaomei made earlier was very poisonous, what happened to Poppy now?” ask Kin Wenqian.
Xiu Jimei thought about it as well. “Maybe still dreaming at the moment. Ming Ming said he would ask the antidote to the Medicine God.”
“Can the God of Medicine have a poison antidote you made?” Xiu Jikai did not believe that the Medicine God had it.
“Entah.” The girl doesn't care.
