Chapter 355

Sun Yan was stunned silly, her beautiful face coloured with surprise and fright.

It wasn’t just her, even others felt somewhat rueful in their hearts. After all, even if one could blame Jing Yun Zhao’s first win on her powerful memory, then this round was undoubtedly based on her real strength!

Without looking at the names in front, those at the end were all medicine that were rarely seen, and even some could only be identified by a minority of people. However, this girl actually recognized them all and even managed to list out their medical properties!

If she didn’t have a certain level of experience, it would not have been possible.

What’s more, many medicinal herbs look similar to each other, even Elders with some experience would have to take some time to differentiate them. It seemed like Jing Yun Zhao’s level had reached that of Master Pharmacists and wasn’t a simple disciple anymore.

However, what these people didn’t know was that this was also her first time seeing all these medicines too.

The reason why she could recognize them was because of the Spirit Jade and Old Man Xu. Within the Spirit Jade, there was detailed explanation about various medicinal materials, their taste, smell and even different shapes and effects in various seasons. Of course, the Spirit Jade was part of the Old Ancestor’s memories. After she absorbed them, those memories merged with hers and thus, it was normal for her to be able to recognize them.

Besides, whenever she interacted with Old Man Xu, he always pretended to teach her something inadvertently. If she didn’t remember, she would be scolded by him for the entire day.

Currently, Jing Yun Zhao had one more correct answer than Sun Yan and was in the advantage. Very quickly, everyone continued to check the answers that followed.

Sun Yan could recognize the commonly seen medicinal materials, but the others were somewhat difficult. Therefore, there would only occasionally be one or two correct answers below, but even if the name could be guessed, the properties couldn’t be faked. Still, based on her age and background, this result was also very good.

The only problem was that Jing Yun Zhao’s answer sheet startled everyone.

As per the previous round, all her answers were correct!

Not only did she manage to recognize all the weird and abnormal forms of medicinal materials, even the properties of the medicinal materials were written out, and there was nothing wrong with it!

There was pin-drop silence in the courtyard.

Everyone only felt the cold breeze blowing, and the coldness chilled their hearts. When they looked back at Jing Yun Zhao’s quiet and calm attitude, they suddenly felt a chill run down their backs.

Although there were many very powerful pharmaceutical masters among the people present, none of them could have achieved such amazing results at the age of 16 to 17. However, her attitude seemed as if this was expected, suddenly creating an illusion where these medicinal materials were actually very simple…

But in reality, they were all clear of the fact that, towards beginners, this knowledge was as if reading heavenly scriptures; difficult to understand and difficult to remember!

“This can’t be…Jing Yun Zhao, did you already know of the answers beforehand? You probably cheated, right?” The moment Cui Jun saw Sun Yan’s expression of pain as if she’d rather died, he instantly stood up to defend her.

Her expression was as if Jing Yun Zhao had taken action and physically beaten her up; was she that wronged?

She indeed had the greater advantage because of her space and Spirit Jade, but these things didn’t just transfer into her for no reason. Every time she absorbed a Spirit Jade, the pain was simply unbearable, and she had endured this pain several times with more upcoming in the future.

Anyway, it wasn’t as easy as just absorbing it. Usually, she would still spend time and effort to harmonize with these memories. If she was just a little less self-disciplined, then she wouldn’t be here right now.

If Sun Yan wasn’t greedy, she wouldn’t have chosen to compete.
