Chapter 262: Advanced Class

"
As soon as Director Pan started speaking, many people's eyebrows twitched. Yes, everyone knows that the Lanyun Magic Martial Arts Academy is now one of the most steadfast supporters of the Emperor's healthcare reform. However, Director, don't you consider the occasion before speaking such flattering words? Let's not even mention that His Majesty is not present here. Just considering that this is the arena for the Pharmacists' Competition, the organizers are the Pharmacists Guild. If there were any flattering words to be said, it should be appropriate for the Guild President. Of course, given the President's esteemed status, he definitely wouldn't say such things. And isn't there the emcee of the conference, Vice President Zhan, standing beside? How could it be the turn of the director of the Magic Martial Arts Academy's Pharmacy Branch to say these things! Didn't you see the immediate change in Vice President Zhan's face beside him?
"Many pharmacists may not lack actual skills, but they sometimes make mistakes in the heat of the moment. This is a common thing for us pharmacists. Even I dare not guarantee a 100% success rate in every alchemy."
The first impression of Yuntai is that there is a lot of nonsense! Because to her, it seems to have nothing to do with her. If the Medicine Master Guild recognizes the results of this competition, then she will take the opportunity to go out and see the world, as opportunities like this are rare. But if for various so-called reasons, her results in this competition are deemed invalid, Yuntai has already made up her mind not to be involved in this matter anymore. Even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to manipulate things afterwards and send her to Dancheng, Yuntai will muster up the courage to tell the Emperor that forcing things won't bring sweetness to the melon...
But why is Director Pan not only speaking but also staring at her? Yun Tai feels extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, and not only does she lose all sleepiness, but also a series of ominous premonitions keeps coming one after another.
"Both Dean Zisu and I feel very regretful. The Dan City Pharmacist Competition is a rare opportunity for every pharmacist to gain experience and learn. Therefore, after discussing with Dean Zisu, we have decided to hold a short-term intensive training program for pharmacists ranked five or above. The training will start tomorrow and continue until the participants depart for Dan City to participate in the competition…"
With a loud bang, the entire venue exploded.
The fifth-grade pharmacists were so excited that they couldn't believe their ears.
It wasn't just them, Yun Tai also involuntarily opened his mouth wide. What is this? Only officials are allowed to start fires, but not the common people?
The intensive class, a targeted short-term intensive class, was initially proposed and established by Yun Tai. It has achieved remarkable results in the assessment of Apothecary College. This naturally led to the rapid spread of this targeted training class to other fields, and various competitions and short-term intensive classes before the competition emerged, with good results. However, it has met with strong dissatisfaction from the college and the Apothecary Guild. Many promising students who were secretly favored by teachers resorted to clever tricks instead of practicing earnestly in order to obtain higher exam scores, which was contrary to the original purpose of setting up the exams. In the eyes of the teachers, this initiative is shortsighted and driven by immediate gains. Without solid foundations, the rush for results will only ruin those talented practitioners. Although the proliferation of low-level apothecaries has made the Apothecary Guild profit abundantly, they also clearly feel the impact on this profession, at least in terms of respect, it has decreased significantly. Rarity increases value, and the same goes for professions, what is abundant is no longer extraordinary. However, changing the long-standing apothecary grading system and its contents is easier said than done.
所以，每次到了考试时期，谈到考试问题，就别想老师们给云苔同学什么好脸色看了。
“只要是五品药师都可以参加吗？”赛场中没有退场的一位五品药师高声喊道。他自然明白潘院长举办这个短期强化班的目的，是为了让那些被淘汰的五品药师再搏一把，争取考到六品药师，这样他们就可以直接去参加丹城大赛了。六品药师亲自指点的机会只要是药师就不会有人会选择放弃。
赛场上其他十八名拿到资格的五品药师同样紧张地盯着潘院长，等着他的回答。
“只要是报名参加本届药师大赛的五品药师都可以参加。”詹毅涂忙抢着回答。从赛场上那些五品药师灼热的眼神中，詹毅涂可以很轻易地看出，如果潘院长回答说是只有被淘汰的五品药师可以报名参加的话，这些药师恐怕会毫不犹豫地放弃自己的参赛名额。虽然参加丹城药师大赛的人数毫无疑问地碾压其他参赛队，但詹毅涂可以肯定，药师们在淘汰赛上的参赛资格放弃足以让他们成为其他药师公会的笑柄。
“如果其中有药师成为了六品药师，对宇澜来说这当然是一件天大的好事，不过这参赛名额……难道说还要再举办第三场淘汰赛，选出新的参赛代表，这时间上恐怕赶不及吧？”四皇子一脸忧心忡忡地问道。他心里也是个气啊，明明他才是皇室的代表，可现在潘吉洛这个开头词一打，不知情的肯定认为潘吉洛和梓苏才是父皇的代表。他的风头被抢了个精光。不过四皇子也没有蠢到直白地提出反对意见。
Unfortunately, even though the words were expressed so tactfully, it didn't sound very pleasant to the nineteen qualified pharmacists. Does this mean they are not allowed to attend the intensive training? If they could receive personal guidance from senior pharmacists, who would really care about a day trip to the Pill City? Besides, if they luckily pass the exam to become a sixth-grade pharmacist, they can still participate in the competition in the Pill City. Not to mention, the difference between a fifth-grade pharmacist and a sixth-grade pharmacist is not just a matter of rank, but a qualitative improvement. Only a fool would be willing to give up such a precious opportunity. Anything that hinders their progress is considered an enemy! Although they know that they cannot confront a prince with their current status, the nineteen pharmacists present have mentally blacklisted the fourth prince.
Thank you for your concern, Fourth Prince. Please trust in the abilities of the Pharmaceutical Guild," Zhan Yitu replied indifferently. Is this Fourth Prince never going to stop? The matter with Yuntai has already been stirred up by these two princes, and now they are back again? Do they really think he would fear a mere imperial grandson? Or perhaps they believe his father will definitely become the next Emperor Yulan? Even if the current Emperor Yulan were present, Zhan Yitu would still treat him with respect. His previous politeness was simply out of courtesy. If he truly didn't give face to the two princes, then he wouldn't. He had the strength and capital to do so. Moreover, Pan Jilo's proposal was indeed a great benefit for the Pharmaceutical Guild. It should be noted that there are not just one or two pharmacists stuck at the peak of the Fifth Rank. If these people could seize this opportunity and break through to become Sixth Rank pharmacists, it wouldn't be just a personal matter; it would also reflect the strength of a guild and a country. On one hand, there are constant provocations, and on the other hand, there are benefits being offered. Anyone would know which side to choose.
Seeing Zhan Yi's attitude, Lan Cangqiong immediately knew that his attempt had failed. He quickly tried to remedy the situation by saying, "@@It is Cangqiong who overstepped. Cangqiong naturally has full confidence in the abilities of the pharmacists of the Guild, because the Pharmacist Competition is also a matter of utmost importance to Yulan. Cangqiong is only concerned about it...@@" Lan Cangqiong humbled himself greatly.
云苔终于忍不住打了一个大大的哈欠，是因为没到晚上八点，所以才播放这种催眠的剧情吗？能不能快进？她真的不想浪费一张魔法卷轴来提神醒脑，那实在是太奢侈了！
Obviously, the God of Light heard Yun Tai's inner complaints. The Tenth Prince, Lan Cangming, jumped out.
It wasn't that he wanted to jump out, but he had no choice. If the previous ambush had succeeded, even if they eventually traced it back to him, he believed that the Grand Prince would never take his life. Besides, he had the support of the Light Sect. Once Yun Tai was removed, Yulan's medical reform would suffer a heavy blow and would definitely rely on the Light Sect again. At that time, no matter how big the storm, it would ultimately be resolved without any consequences.
But now the sneak attack has failed, and Yuntai remains unharmed. She even managed to secure the first place in the elimination rounds, further boosting her reputation. This news reaching the Bright Sect will only expose his incompetence. This is definitely not what Lancangming wanted to see. The Alchemist Guild is not to be trifled with, and naturally, he sets his sights on Yuntai. Regardless of her favor from the Emperor, he doesn't need to be polite to her, no matter her status or position. "Yuntai, if I were you, I would definitely voluntarily give up this spot in the competition to avoid embarrassing myself later on."
云逸跨前了一步，身上的气势勃发。云壕等人也紧跟在后，表示他们的支持。
贵宾席上的空气由原先的温吞如水立刻变得火药味十足……
