Chapter 240: The Pleasurable Sensation.

“詹毅涂，这是你们宇澜的意思？”雷克萨斯浓眉紧锁。
六大药师公会向来都是一体，摇手相望，相互支援。不干涉内务，保持独立性是建立公会之初的理念。可现在雷克萨斯感觉詹毅涂他们跟着宇澜帝渐行渐远。药师公会六大分会六缺一，再加上西北联盟一直以宇澜马首是瞻。六去二，哪怕是六去一个半对于药师公会来说都是一个极其沉重的打击。
“云苔年纪轻，说话虽然有些激进，但仔细想来，你也不能说她说错了什么，毕竟她的想法是善意的。”詹毅涂终于说出了自己的观点。他站在云苔这一边！
Yanhuo's face immediately turned ugly: "Zhanyi Tu, do you understand the consequences of saying this? Or should I ask, are you speaking on behalf of your guild or yourself?"
The whole meeting is getting out of control!
"Ahem, calm down everyone, let me say a few words." At this moment, an elderly man with a kind and benevolent face stepped forward to mediate.
"Teacher?" Yuntai turned and asked Huo Mai. There was no way she knew anyone important in front of her, except for the dean. But when she walked out of the meeting room, she might still not recognize them the next time they met.
Huo Mai didn't hear anything, his mind was filled with thoughts on how to change the situation. He cannot let the situation worsen. Losing the support of all the pharmaceutical branches in the continent and standing against them is a result that the Yulan Pharmacist Guild cannot bear.
“说话的那位是我们的会长大人。”旁边的森里其见状，连忙接口介绍。
Thank you.
会长？不是说会长不参加会议，来的都是副会长么？看了看老师，云苔乖觉地没有把这个她感觉会得罪人的问题问出口。
"President An, please speak." Zhan Yitu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from the three major empires, the rest of the continent consisted of small kingdoms and duchies. They had formed three branches of the Alchemist Guild to counterbalance the Alchemist Guilds of the three major empires and fight for their own interests. However, for a long time, the Alchemist Guild of the Northwestern Alliance had always been an ally of the Yulan Kingdom, to put it nicely, they were more like little brothers. Therefore, when An Nan started speaking, Zhan Yitu naturally understood it as him wanting to share the pressure. But what he didn't expect was...
Miss Yuntai's vision is beautiful, but she is still young and lacks thorough consideration... "Annan said with a smile.
Huh? Many people had the same thought as Zhan Yi before, but after hearing Annan's introduction, many strange looks began to shift towards the faces of the members of the Yulan Guild. It seems like trouble is brewing for Yulan!
"Knowing how to identify medicinal herbs and refine elixirs is the foundation of a pharmacist. Giving up on the fundamentals..." An Nan shook his head. Yun Tai paused for a moment, nodding in agreement. The higher-ranking members of the Pharmacist Guild, who were constantly paying attention to Yun Tai's actions, couldn't help but burst into laughter. Is this the prodigy that Yu Lan Country boasts about? What an idiot! At that moment, many senior pharmacists from other guilds couldn't help but feel sympathy for their counterparts from Yu Lan Country. It was not easy for the Pharmacist Guild of Yu Lan Country to be saddled with a teammate that could not be replaced. Translated: "
“要知道辨别药材、炼制丹药是药师的根本，舍弃根本……”安南摇了摇头。
“要知道辨别药材、炼制丹药是药师的根本，舍弃根本……”安南摇了摇头。
Lan Cangjun, sitting at the back, hummed in frustration. Did this girl suddenly lose her mind?
In contrast, Hao Mai was not as agitated. He could already see a glaringly obvious pitfall emerging on the path of this situation's development.
"It seems that you agree with President An's words." Huo Moyi naturally helped to bridge the conversation, in order to lead Yun Tai to talk about the topic.
Yun Tai nodded, "President An is right. It was a thoughtless and impulsive decision on the part of the students. Healing and saving lives is something that requires extreme caution and consideration of numerous factors, leaving no room for any mistakes. In comparison, distinguishing the authenticity and age of medicinal herbs, considering the prescription, and practicing alchemy are indeed more suitable as competition or assessment tasks."
Did he really submit to them? Based on their dealings with the emperors of Yulan Kingdom over the past few decades, it is clear that Lan Hao is a very strong-willed person. He wouldn't easily submit in front of everyone. Could there be some conspiracy or trickery? In their eyes, today's Yuntai represents Emperor Lan Hao of Yulan Kingdom.
As for Yun Tai, the pharmacists were not satisfied with her compliance, but rather became suspicious.
Seeing the sudden silence in the meeting hall, Yun Tai was also a bit confused. Before, she didn't think it through and disagreed with the assessment project, and these pharmacists were happy about it. Now that she has admitted her mistake and agreed with their viewpoint, they are still not satisfied. These people are just too difficult to please!
Huo Mai was still waiting for that 'but' from Yun Tai. However, after waiting for a while, he realized that Yun Tai actually believed that he was wrong and that An Nan and the others were right! Can someone tell him what's going on here?
“你真的这么认为？”火邈再次确认道。
“老师有什么不对吗？”云苔一脸虚心求教好学生的姿态地反问。
火邈脸色一僵：“没有。”
“老师，您会参加比赛吗？”云苔无视了震动得都快跳起来的通讯器，状似闲聊地问火邈。
“怎么，你看好老师？”火邈有些拿捏不准云苔问这个问题的意思，“老师虽然放不下对天下第一药师的虚名追求，但那点自知之明还是有的。第一，不敢想，不敢想啊！”火邈谦虚地说道。
"No, I just wanted to know the reason why the teacher participated in the competition. Because President An has already said that the assessment of the competition is all about the fundamentals. As a sixth-grade pharmacist, you should have already passed the stage of laying the foundation. If it's for fame, you would have already achieved it. Compared to that, the senior students in the academy seem to need more opportunities to be recognized by more people, and their identities also fit President An's proposal, don't they?" explained Yuntai.
嗯？旁边竖着耳朵的森里其从云苔的话中嗅出了危险的味道。如果宇澜没有高级药师参加这次的药师大赛，全部派遣中青年药师出场，宇澜过早地出局可以预期，但比赛的第一，大陆第一药师的名头会被多少人认可呢？更多的人会说因为宇澜的高级药师全都没有参赛，所以对方才拿到了第一吧。
"That is why there are age groups in every competition. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair for junior pharmacists to compete against senior pharmacists, and it would also demotivate young pharmacists. As for the senior pharmacists, I believe they seize this rare opportunity to challenge, communicate, and learn from each other." Sensato couldn't help but argue.
Senior pharmacists are valuable talents in various countries, and it is impossible for them to easily go to other countries. Haven't you seen the heated debates about guard issues in the previous three matches? They got so angry they turned red in the face. Translated Content: Senior pharmacists from different countries are precious talents and it is not easy for them to move to other countries. Did you not see the heated discussions about guard matters during the past matches? They were arguing fiercely.
"But is it really worth it for a senior pharmacist like a teacher to waste their time participating in a basic pharmacist skills competition?" Yun Tai asked, confused.
"Go on." Huo Mai understood that Yun Tai was seizing on An Nan's flaw and not letting go.
“老师，到了您现在这个阶段任何一小步的提升都是千难万难。我听说您已经不需要度量器皿，凭借手感就能够估量出药材的重量。凭借精神感知立刻就能辨别丹药的质量。因此在炼丹的步骤上想要再有所提升的空间实在有限。所以学生觉得，老师与其浪费时间在提升炼丹的技术上，还不如结合实例研究药方说不定获得的更多。”云苔说道。
Yun Tai's words made Huo Mai smile: "And it coincides perfectly with Your Majesty's healthcare reform, right?"
"Teacher, this is a trend that cannot be reversed. In the past, without comparison, those seeking elixirs naturally chose the alchemist with better skills. But now, one alchemist finishes refining the elixir and has nothing to do with it, while the other alchemist is involved throughout the entire process. Before refining, they first confirm the condition of the person who will consume the elixir, and after it's done, they don't just walk away. They propose some strategies to help maximize the effectiveness of the elixir. If I were an alchemist, I would definitely choose to be the former. But let's switch perspectives, if you were the one seeking the elixir, who would you choose to refine it for you? Even if the elixir is successfully refined but the effect doesn't meet your expectations, we can, with righteousness, claim that it's not the alchemist's fault. However, would the person seeking the elixir really not be resentful? Wouldn't they have grievances? And would others hearing about it not be doubtful? Without people seeking medicine, even if one wins the grand competition, how long will they be remembered by the world?"
Not changing will lead to elimination.
These words from Yuntai are not so much meant for Huomai as they are for the surrounding pharmacists.
Do these pharmacists really not understand? They are very clear in their hearts that everything Yuntai said is true. But this is also the reason why they resist. Because they don't have the conditions to change. Yulan has the full support of the emperor, a medical school specifically for pharmacists to study, and a hospital specifically for pharmacists to practice in. But they have nothing, they have to rely on themselves for everything. Even if they have the intention to change, they cannot do it as they are powerless to turn the tide unless they abandon their homeland and submit to Yulan. So, in their current situation, they have no choice at all.
The atmosphere in Yun Tai is peaceful. However, the air in the central conference core remains filled with negative energy such as tension and irritability.
The rapid tapping of fingers on the tabletop shows that Vice President Zhan Yi-Tu Zhan is really getting irritated. Regarding healthcare reform, the Pharmaceutical Guild and Emperor Yu Lan reached a mutually beneficial agreement early on. The inclusion of Yun Tai in this preparatory meeting was also intended to further expand the impact of Yu Lan's healthcare reform through the opportunity of the Pharmacy Grand Competition. Unexpectedly, Yun Tai suddenly "switched sides," putting him in a completely passive situation. Looking around, Han Bani can no longer be relied upon. He strongly opposed the collaboration between the guild and the emperor from the beginning. Surprisingly, this trusted individual is lost in his thoughts!
“潘院长，你有什么建议吗？”詹毅涂咬着牙一字一句地问道。
“会长，云苔年纪小，没有参与大赛准备工作的经验，考虑不全面，也情有可原。现在她已经很诚恳地道歉了，我们再抓着不放，似乎不妥。”潘吉洛慢条斯理地说道。
这是想将事情揭过去的意思？而且还是在云苔将会议闹得一团糟之后？看来宇澜真的是服软了啊！
炎火心底有些得意。他倒是真的没有想到能够那么容易就让宇澜低头。他刚准备再讽刺两句，就将这件事揭过，潘吉洛却没有给他这个机会。
However, this little girl also reminded us of an issue. How can we ensure the fairness of the competition? In the early stages, we can provide all participants with the same alchemy furnace for player selection. But later on, everyone will have their own preferred furnace, so using the same furnace would actually be unfair. However, if participants are allowed to use their own furnaces, what about the magic items for detecting cheats that Yun Tai suggested? It can be used for alchemy, so we can't say it's not an alchemy furnace. But if we agree to allow the use of such furnaces in the competition, as President Lexus said, then what's the point of this competition? Moreover, I just checked, and there are no specific restrictions in the competition rules. Shouldn't we first improve this aspect before discussing others?" Pang Jiluo said. Seeing the gloomy faces around him, he felt a sense of satisfaction. Finally, it is no longer just their Lan Yun Martial Arts Academy suffering from the pain of rule modifications. With Yun Tai's participation, the brotherhood's circle has expanded once again. It was indeed a wise decision to involve Yun Tai in this preparation meeting.
