Chapter 8 Entry: Sense of Smell Enhancement, Herb Identification
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Zhou got up early and started practicing Crane Style Fist in Master Liang's courtyard.
After typing it five times in a row.
My body feels warm and comfortable.
To Lin Zhou's surprise, Master Liang prepared a medicinal bath for him.
Because Lin Zhou had been a disaster victim for quite some time, he was not only thin, but his internal organs and bones had also suffered some damage. The medicinal bath could help him recover from these losses.
Only after breaking through the skin-refining barrier can a solid foundation be laid.
Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground.
Without a solid foundation, one can rely on talent to advance in skin refining and bone forging, but once one reaches the Meridian Opening stage and gets stuck at the Meridian Opening Perfection stage, unable to advance to the Qi Martial Master level for a long time, that's when one will regret it.
After giving instructions on the medicinal bath, Master Liang left the courtyard and went to inspect the martial arts training ground.
After all, Master Liang still has his own job within the Medicine King Gang.
Furthermore, this afternoon, Master Liang has to go out on important business and won't be back until tonight.
It was noon.
[Have you checked in?]
A familiar prompt appears.
(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)
"Check-in."
Lin Zhou silently recited in his heart.
[Check-in successful]
[Gained Level 1 Sense of Occurrence Boost]
[Level 1 Enhanced Sense of Smell: Greatly improves the ability of ordinary people to distinguish smells.]
Replace the entry to enhance your sense of smell.
[Entry Position: Level 1 Sense of Smell Enhancement]
The moment the entry took effect, Lin Zhou immediately sensed that there were more than a dozen different smells permeating the courtyard.
The smells are mixed.
Some of the flavors came from outside the courtyard; they must have come from either Master Liang or Senior Brother Wan.
Especially the smell of the residue from the medicinal bath; almost every one of them had a unique odor, but Lin Zhou still couldn't tell which one was which.
This ability can be used for both tracking and alerting.
"It's quite useful."
Lin Zhou recalled that when he was collecting herbs in Yixian Gorge, the herb gatherers from Luhua Hall found him by the scent of red worm incense.
After having lunch delivered from the kitchen.
Lin Zhou rested for a while.
He headed straight to the pharmacist academy. The afternoon session was for the herbal medicine theory part of the pharmacist exam, and since he had already taken a day off, he couldn't delay any longer.
"Hello, Senior Brother Lin."
"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin."
"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin."
As soon as Lin Zhou entered the Pharmacist Academy, many of the older apprentices who had witnessed him being accepted into Master Liang's tutelage the day before greeted him warmly, each referring to themselves as his junior brother.
Within the gang, the strong are respected.
The one with the strongest strength is the senior brother.
Lin Zhou was well aware that his title of "senior brother" was entirely due to Master Liang's influence.
However, some of the older apprentices did not come forward to greet him; they simply made eye contact, nodded, and clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.
The theoretical lecture was still held in the martial arts arena, but everyone brought a table, and more than a hundred tables were set up, which was quite impressive.
"cough!"
The instructor walked up; he was a tall, white-haired old man with a goatee, dressed in white and standing with his hands behind his back.
"We have a newcomer today, so let me give a brief introduction. My surname is Tang, so please call me Master Tang."
Tang Qiyuan glanced at Lin Zhou, who was standing relatively close to the front of the crowd. His thin and frail body was quite conspicuous.
After exchanging glances, Tang Qiyuan and Lin Zhou slowly nodded.
He already knew that the newcomer, Lin Zhou, had been taken in as a disciple by Liang Jingchun on his very first day. His talent was astonishing, and he had mastered the power generation techniques of the White Grass Fist in just a few hours.
Tang Qiyuan also developed a bit of curiosity about Lin Zhou.
With such talent and comprehension, becoming a pharmacist shouldn't be too difficult for a martial arts prodigy.
"Today we will learn how to identify herbs. There are one hundred kinds of herbs in this bamboo basket. First, take a look at the smell of these herbs and see the descriptions of these herbs in the medicine booklet that has been given to you."
"I'll give you an hour and a half to remember."
"Then I will test your ability to identify them."
As soon as Tang Qiyuan finished speaking, more than ten gray-clad servants behind him placed bamboo baskets in the middle of each row of apprentices, and had several apprentices gather around a basket to record the herbs inside.
Replace words to improve memory.
[Entry Position: Level 1 Memory Improvement]
After Lin Zhou replaced the entries, he picked up the herbal picture book that had been distributed and walked up to the bamboo basket to start recording the one hundred kinds of herbs inside.
After having a photographic memory.
Lin Zhou memorized it firmly in less than a quarter of an hour, especially the herbal flavor.
After the olfactory enhancement, the aroma of each herb became more memorable.
A judgment was also made regarding the details.
Furthermore, the scent after the enhancement of the sense of smell is quite different from the scent in the normal state.
For more than an hour afterward.
Master Tang simply sat in the armchair inside the room, drinking tea and fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, with several servants beside him ready to give orders at any time.
Soon, an hour and a half later.
The servants who came out of the main room took away their picture books and bamboo baskets.
After Tang Qiyuan came out of the house, he sat down at the table they had been sitting at before, took out three pills, each slightly different in color, and placed them in three bowls on the table in front of him.
"There are three pills here."
"The herbs used in each pill are all made from the hundred kinds of herbs that you just had in that bamboo basket."
"The amount of herbs varies."
"All three are different."
"If any of you can identify more than three herbs by the smell of the pills, then you have passed today's test."
"Five or more can be considered excellent."
"If you can smell all the herbs in one of the pills, then your herbal identification skills will pass the assessment standard for junior pharmacists."
Tang Qiyuan spoke.
"Apprentice Cao Yi is willing to give it a try."
A tall young man stepped forward, leaned closer, and began to sniff the pills in the bowl.
A few breaths later.
He slowly raised his head, hesitated for a moment, bowed, and then picked up a brush and began to write the names of the three herbs he had identified under the pills in the bowl in the middle.
Green-veined grass, white peony grass, cocklebur.
After finishing writing, he respectfully placed the paper in front of Tang Qiyuan.
Two kinds were written.
"If you don't meet the standard, copy the Hundred Herbs Classic once."
Tang Qiyuan glanced at Cao Yi and said calmly.
Upon hearing that he had failed to meet the standard, Cao Yi turned and walked away with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Continue, next one."
Tang Qiyuan remained calm.
He's been cultivating for over half a year and he's still at this level. He basically can't pass the beginner pharmacist exam, and in his eyes, the beginner pharmacist is just a starting point.
The path of medicine is boundless!
Then, in front of the many apprentices, a female apprentice stepped forward, identified the elixir, and began to write.
"good."
"You wrote down five types; today's assessment can be considered excellent."
Tang Qiyuan nodded, and said with a sense of satisfaction.
In his opinion, this young lady, Ding Hui, has a very high chance of passing the junior pharmacist exam.
