吓傻了，是真的吓傻了。
Up to now in the competition, the thirty-three people remaining on the field are all experienced pharmacists who have long been divided by major forces. Apart from Yun Tai, everyone basically knows the strength of the other pharmacists inside out. Their achievements are also within the expectations of these people. So, the curiosity of the crowd towards the thirty-two fifth-grade pharmacists is not that strong. Only Yun Tai, who has heard too many rumors about her, and many people have even witnessed her extraordinary abilities, still arouses hopes of witnessing another miracle while also secretly wishing for Yun Tai's failure to mask their jealousy. The main reason is Yun Tai's excessively young face, which still makes it difficult for people to trust, even when faced with reality. Of course, there are also many who wholeheartedly hope for Yun Tai's alchemy failure.
不过无论如何众人心思复杂，有一点是相同的，那就是从比赛的一开始，贵宾席上几乎所有人的关注点就只有一个，那就是名字叫云苔的年轻炼丹师。云苔的参赛号码自然也被这些人记得滚瓜烂熟。所以当代表云苔的光柱出现在表示五品丹质量的那根线上时，他们已经全体傻眼，心跳开始加速。
The speed of the heartbeat also increases as the light beam rises higher, and it beats faster, almost suffocating.
坐在前台的所有贵宾也没有人坐得住了。
桑席双手捂胸，感觉喘不上气来。看似随时都会倒下。他从来都知道云苔这个小丫头脑子里总是会有稀奇古怪的想法，千方百计想要依靠外力来弥补她先天上的不足。在桑席的预想之中云苔很可能研究出炼制二品丹药的方法，可现在炼制出五品丹药，差点达到六品的质量，这实在超出他接受的范围了。
Even if we worship Yuntai as an all-powerful being, Snowlili's mouth can still fit a Warcraft egg: "Se-Second Brother, are our eyes playing tricks on us?"
“对，眼花了，肯定是我这几天为了来看比赛，把工作凑一块儿，好几天没睡的缘故。”水鸿轩附和道。但她一双根本没什么睡意的眼睛不但瞪得大如铜铃，更不时有精光闪现。根本没什么说服力。
"Ha ha, bro, um, is that machine used to test the Yun Tai Dan medicine broken? It must be broken, definitely broken, right?" Yun Hao felt a rush of blood, a throbbing headache, a dry mouth, and a stiff body that he couldn't move. With the first-grade prescription and medicinal materials, Yun Tai managed to refine a Dan medicine close to a sixth-grade level. Yun Tai was soaring to new heights! It seems even the God of Medicine can't stop her now. Yun Hao doesn't dare to imagine what will happen next.
云逸看都没看弟弟一眼，双目直视，脸上肌肉纹丝不动，只不过仔细听的话，话语似乎有些飘：“不要自欺欺人。”
Even if the instrument is broken, it's probably impossible to retest it. It seems that Yun Tai has only produced one pill." Yun Zhaomei unconsciously answered.
The gaze of the five senior pharmacists around Yun Tai also changed. Everyone knew what this result meant to them. It forced them to participate in the medical reform of the Emperor. If they didn't participate, they would be eliminated. The dark green beam of light clearly showed them that they had no other choice.
Looking at the beam of light, Yun Tai doesn't show any signs of surprise. Although this outcome is somewhat unexpected for her, it is still within the realm of understanding. For a seasoned fighter who has been tested in the arena time and time again, planning strategically before an exam has become instinctual. It's similar to when, in a previous life, she used to circle the answer choices during computer-graded tests because of the imperfect system. The teacher would specifically advise students to mark all the uncertain answers. This was seen as opportunistic, but there is also a positive term for it called 'tactical acumen'. For examinees, the exam hall is a battlefield, and the scores determine the outcome. And today, Yun Tai is still following the same routine. The alchemy instrument is like the grading software, as long as this 'software' is cracked, she shouldn't be surprised no matter how good her grades are. And now, the emerald beam of light is the result of her and her alchemy partners' efforts.
可当墨绿色的光柱停止上升，云苔的名字跳到了排行榜的第一位，整个赛场先是陷入了两秒钟的寂静，接着一瞬间，整个观众席就炸了。所有人的第一个反应几乎都和云壕一样。
“验丹仪坏了吧？”
“这还用问。肯定是验丹仪坏了啊。一品丹方炼制出五品丹，就算是会长恐怕也做不到吧！”
“我看不见得，要知道这些比赛用具可都是事先检查过的，怎么可能就那么巧……”阴谋论者跳了出来。
"Is it really necessary? Didn't they say that the president would directly write a recommendation letter for Yun Tai? She could simply go to Dancheng and we could have an extra spot. Why insist on participating in the domestic elimination competition, resorting to deceit, and turning the whole competition into a chaotic mess."
"It is quite obvious that someone else helped to knock over the cauldron. How can you be so sure that the one who didn't show their face and didn't use spiritual power didn't help Yun Tai in alchemy?" retorted the conspiracy theorist disdainfully. Translation:
"Shouldn't it be? There are so many senior pharmacists working today, they would definitely notice if that happened." Although refuting, the uncertain tone easily reveals the wavering of the fence-sitter's inner thoughts.
“发现了又如何？这里可是宇澜的赛场，那个云苔是谁的人，你不会不清楚吧？”阴谋论者一脸鄙视地问道。
"This is really unfair to the other participants!"
周围的喧闹声詹毅涂可是听得清楚，皱起了眉头。
"President, should we publicly inspect the testing device used by Cloud Moss Pharmacist to demonstrate fairness?" Hannibal suggested with a righteous expression.
“会长，不能这么做。如果说因为对方的成绩太过突出就进行怀疑，要求检验检测仪，参赛的药师很可能会认为这是对她个人的巨大羞辱。”梓苏不赞同地说道。
“诶……此言差矣。有道是药师无惧丹雷。相比个人一点小的得失，大会的公正性才真的不容有失。”汉拔尼反驳道。
Director Zisu does not agree with Han Bani's statement: "All the competition equipment should have been checked by the staff before the game to ensure no mistakes. Even if there is an error, it would be the fault of our Pharmaceutical Guild."
"Since that's the case, what is Director Zisu still worried about? However, it seems that Yuntai isn't a student of the Royal Academy, right?" Hanbani asked maliciously.
At this moment, Xichen, the head of the Pharmacy Guild, who had been seemingly meditating with closed eyes, opened his eyes. This simple action immediately quieted the entire arena, all prepared to hear what the Guild's President had to say about this. Translated:
只见曦尘会长右手轻轻一挥，云苔青石台上剩余的药材包括那张有问题的丹方全部飞落到了他面前的桌子上，且排列整齐。
"Just as I thought."
"President?" Zhan Yitu asked.
"There's no problem with the results; this is a fifth-grade recipe," President Xichen explained.
What? A fifth-grade recipe?
如果说话的那个人不是整个大陆炼丹实力公认最强的三人之一的药师公会的会长，所有人都会直接把说这话的人当傻子看。
“会长的意思是工作人员拿错了丹方？”汉拔尼替其他人问出了心中的疑惑。
“不，这原本是一张有问题的一品丹方，但云苔药师用一味药材将它变成了五品。”曦尘会长说道。
Is the prescription something that can be changed at will?
This is even scarier, okay?
Yunhao thinks that his sister has already reached the sky. What else can't she do?
Seeing the cannibalistic gaze around her, Yuntai felt a little at a loss. In fact, she herself didn't understand what the president meant. From the time she started learning alchemy, her mentor had explained that the grade of a prescription is determined by the quality of the medicinal materials (such as age, rarity, etc.), the success rate of alchemy, and the relative level of the patient, among other factors. If a first-grade prescription is changed by one medicine, it becomes a fifth-grade prescription. Isn't this making an international joke? This is not the prescription for advancing in alchemy.
Good student Yun Tai cautiously raised his hand and asked, "What is this danfang? What are its healing effects?"
As they eagerly leaned forward to pass on the danfang, a group of senior pharmacists were astonished by the question. They looked at Yun Tai in disbelief, not even knowing the healing effects. How did you come up with this danfang? Not only did you create a new fifth-grade danfang, but you also managed to successfully produce it in one attempt.
This person is actually not the illegitimate daughter of the Duke, but the illegitimate daughter of the Miracle Doctor, right!
