Puzzle, Liu Yuyue

Chapter 786:

Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at the numerous medicinal herbs before her, quickly contemplating the pill formulas related to these herbs.

"Jinling Grass, Unparalleled Wood, Black Vine Twig..."

After examining these herbs, Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes suddenly lit up. She had already guessed the type of pill.

"The Healing Pill!"

Bai Li Hongzhuang's phoenix-like eyes lifted slightly, falling upon Linqin Yue. If she was correct, these herbs would undoubtedly be sufficient to concoct the Healing Pill.

Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, Linqin Yue also looked at the herbs and then revealed a delighted smile.

"Hongzhuang, you're right. It's the Healing Pill."

Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly and immediately selected the herbs required for the Healing Pill from among the numerous herbs.

While Bai Li Hongzhuang picked out the necessary herbs for the Healing Pill, Linqin Yue searched for the formula associated with the remaining herbs.

As Linqin Yue contemplated, Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at the Jinling Grass in her hand. Did the quantity of Jinling Grass seem to be more than the other herbs?

Linqin Yue gazed at the herbs she had collected, a worried expression appearing on her exceptional face. "How could this be?"

Not receiving a response from Linqin Yue even after a while, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but ask, "Qingqiu, haven't you found it?"

Linqin Yue shook her head slightly, her face filled with anxiety. In theory, this shouldn't be a difficult assessment, so time was of the essence.

Wherever her gaze reached, both Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy's alchemists were not slow in their progress. The next challenge was purely a matter of speed.

Compared to Linqin Yue's nervousness, Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared calm and composed.

She knew very well that anxiety wouldn't help them at all. On the contrary, it might hinder their progress.

Besides, the alchemy competition was a cumulative result of three assessments, not just one. With Bai Li Hongzhuang's mental fortitude, she had no worries.

"No." Linqin Yue furrowed her eyebrows slightly. The situation was indeed very strange and didn't add up.

"Hongzhuang, I think the remaining herbs resemble those used to refine the Primordial Pill, but the Jinling Grass has already been designated for the Healing Pill, so there's a missing ingredient for the Primordial Pill."

Linqin Yue couldn't understand. According to the rules they had heard about the competition, there should be enough herbs to refine two types of pills.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes brightened, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Exactly, it's the Primordial Pill. You take out the herbs for the Primordial Pill first."

A trace of surprise flashed in Linqin Yue's eyes. Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang speak with such certainty, she didn't hesitate and immediately took out the herbs for the Primordial Pill.

"But what about this Jinling Grass..."

Just as Linqin Yue was puzzled, Bai Li Hongzhuang had already split the Jinling Grass in her hand into two parts, looking at Linqin Yue with a charming smile.

Seeing this, Linqin Yue once again examined the two portions of the herb, and a pleased smile appeared on her beautiful face.

She hadn't expected such a small test to be set in this round of assessment. It not only tested their ability to identify herbs but also their understanding of herb quantities.

In the next moment, Linqin Yue and Bai Li Hongzhuang exchanged a smile, raising their hands together to indicate that they had completed this first round of assessment.

Seeing this, the three alchemists also stood up and walked slowly towards Bai Li Hongzhuang and Linqin Yue.
