Chapter 300: Detoxification (Part 1)

"I would like to ask for the help of all the teachers in refining the Seventh Rank Pure Clear Pill."
Yun Tai confidently took on the role of the carefree accountant once again. Originally, she was only a First Rank Pharmacist, and there were countless pharmacists with better alchemy skills than her. How could it fall to her? To put it bluntly, if she were to refine a Seventh Rank pill, it would be a complete waste of medicinal materials. Therefore, Yun Tai carried on with her daily routine without any worries. She would go to Feng Dan Bai Lu on time, attend classes and study diligently, contemplate the rehabilitation treatment after detoxification as a Fire Pharmacist, and also prepare defensive items in Dan City while communicating with alchemists... She was truly busy.
And the entire imperial city's pharmacists have gone mad! There are only four seventh rank pharmacists in the entire Yulan Kingdom, and Fire Mia was only half a step away from becoming one, but he is not a true seventh rank pharmacist yet. If they become seventh rank pharmacists, then honor, wealth, and noble titles will not be a problem at all.
据说整个皇城几乎所有的六品药师都在进行高压炼丹炉的学习使用。
据说不少中低品的药师疯狂地学习炼丹,想要一跃成为七品药师！就连强化班里也人心浮动。如果能够炼制出七品丹，谁还在乎能不能成为六品药师！
The magic crystal high-pressure alchemy furnace has turned from a scarce commodity directly into a market with no demand.
The alchemist guild in the imperial city is once again surrounded!
One day, two days, three days, a full six days, the alchemical fires in the entire imperial city's alchemy rooms have never stopped.
Explosions, ashes, wasted pills... time and time again, failure after failure. Not even a single successful case, not even with the Upper Clear Pill. All these setbacks have finally cooled down the overexcited minds. (Note: The "@" symbol does not have a specific meaning in this context. It is mentioned to be kept in the translation, but it does not have any impact on the content.)
十天之后曦尘会长亲自宣布用即便是魔晶高压炼丹鼎炉,如果没有高品级的药材，高品级的丹药也是无法成形。
为何每次高品级的丹药出炉都会引来丹雷？那是因为高品级药材中不仅仅蕴含了药效，还有时间岁月赋予的天地之灵气，日月之精华，药材的提纯和高压压缩或许能够在一定程度上提高丹药的品级，但那也是有上限的。七品丹药或许就是一个坎儿，就好比七品药师就是药师修炼中的一个打坎。
Although President Xi Chen did not explicitly say that, and he mentioned that the time was too short, it is also possible that they have not yet found the correct alchemy method. However, based on the prestige of President Chen, his words have already signaled to the medical practitioners that the method of using high-pressure alchemical furnaces to refine low-grade herbs into high-grade medicinal pills has been "vetoed".
So the question came back to the attending physician once again.
But from Yun Tai's perspective, is this really a problem? It's not a problem at all. In the previous life, where would there be heavenly and earthly spiritual energy or the essence of the sun and moon? Medicine is just medicine, and antidotes are meant to treat poison. As for the spiritual energy and essence, aren't they supposed to be nourishing for cultivators? Isn't it a waste to use them up like this?
So what she needs is an antidote to eliminate the toxins of withered butterfly phosphorus. As for the essence of spiritual energy and such, she can keep them. If she's unable to absorb them later, acupuncture can be used to guide them out of the body. It's such a simple solution, why bother concocting a seventh-grade elixir?
Yun Tai immersed herself in the laboratory.
因为时间紧迫，没时间教学和解答问题，云苔下达了闭关令。其他人该干嘛干嘛去。
云苔在研究解药，不明真相的人大都在猜测她不死心，依然在研究炼制七品上清丹的方法。
于是地下赌场再次偷偷开盘，赌云苔同学是不是能够再创奇迹，打破曦尘会长的断言。
在云苔闭关的时候，强化班总算传来了好消息，越来越多的五品药师用高压炼丹炉成功地炼制出了六品丹药。虽然不像云苔那样强悍用一品药材，他们用的是三品药材，不过这也足够这些药师笑咧嘴了，三品药材是优质药材，连珍稀药材都算不上，和六品药材相比那差价更是一个天上，一个地上。
So here comes another question. A group of fifth-grade pharmacists is coming to the neighboring house for assessment. Excluding the guards, we need at least a sixth-grade pharmacist to lead the team. Who will lead this team?
Vice President Zhan's level is too high, and he also needs to prepare all the pharmacists for various matters in Dancheng. He is overwhelmed with tasks.
Pharmacist Hanbani from the Pharmacists' Guild is very willing to go on this trip, but the deans of the two pharmacist branches are not very reassured.
皇家和魔武两家学院的药师分院的导师们纷纷表示，他们弃权，如果他们离开了，万一云苔在这期间研究出解药，他们根本赶不及回来帮忙。为了推卸责任，学生们逃课的各种奇葩理由直接被各位导师拿来现学现卖，挑战着两位院长的智商下限。
正当两位院长忙里偷闲聚在一起喝着妙坛相互吐着苦水的时候，门口来报，说外面来了一位闻楠石阁下，六品药师，自称是钦州书院的药师分院院长。
The two deans' eyes lit up and they glanced at each other before standing up at the same time. "Please, come in."
"Long time no see." Wen Nanshi greeted with a bow as a pharmacist.
"Welcome, welcome." With one dean on each side, they pulled Wen Nanshi into the courtyard.
Seeing the two unusually enthusiastic and lively figures, Wen Nanshi's eyebrows twitched, and he secretly became vigilant. He knew from past experiences that when someone shows excessive politeness, they usually have a request. Having dealt with these two cunning old foxes multiple times, he had suffered many losses.
“闻院长，你总算是来了，我们可是期盼已久啊。”潘吉洛一脸感慨。
“有事情耽搁了，恕罪恕罪。“闻楠石连忙作揖，“我在来的路上就听说魔武学院的学生这次在药师选拔赛上可是大放异彩啊，恭喜恭喜。”
“哪里，哪里，都是孩子们自己争气。”潘吉洛笑眯了眼，“钦州书院这次也不差啊。”
“差远了。”闻楠石连忙摆手。
"It's perfect timing for Director Wen to come. We're worried because we don't have enough manpower," Zi Su interrupted the pleasantries from both sides.
In Wen Nan's heart, there was a slight thud, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to smile: "Oh? Is there anything I can help with? Just give me your instructions."
"Dr. Wen, what are you saying? There's no need for formalities like giving orders. We've known each other for so many years, you're being too polite." Zi Su quickly said.
"Dr. Wen, it's not as serious as you think. It's just a small matter, really. In a few days, there will be around ten fifth-ranked pharmacists preparing to take the exam to become sixth-ranked pharmacists in the Northwest Alliance's Pharmacists Guild. We're just wondering if any of the sixth-ranked mentors at Qinzhou Academy can help us out as the team leader." Pan Jiluo said with a smile.
"Team leader?" Wen Nan repeated in confusion. Not to mention the fact that having ten or so fifth-grade pharmacists together with him for the assessment of becoming a sixth-grade pharmacist at the Northwest Alliance's Pharmacists Guild might scare the pharmacists there. But the whole thing itself was already extremely strange.
Previously, due to unforeseen circumstances, Wen Nanshi missed the Pharmacy Competition among academy students. Instead, he had the vice dean accompany the participants to the imperial city. In order to catch up with the Pharmacy Grand Competition in Dancheng, he was extremely busy and didn't pay much attention to the news in the imperial city after the elimination round. Thus, he wasn't very informed about several major events related to pharmacists that occurred in the imperial city.
"This is mainly because of the healthcare reform, and opinions within the guild are also not unified. Going together for the pharmacist guild assessment at the Northwestern Alliance is also to save some trouble, as we are all about to leave for Dancheng soon and don't have much time for unnecessary discussions." Zisu sighed with helplessness.
That makes sense," Wen Nanshi nodded. "But is it possible that neither academy has a sixth-grade instructor available?"
Being the team leader seems like a minor matter, and it's actually a good thing. Wen Nanshi couldn't understand why there were no pharmacists in both academies who were eager to take on the role. Instead, it seemed like they were handing over the opportunity to Qinzhou Academy. This doesn't make him feel secure at all.
"Aiya... Don't mention it. Everything unlucky seems to be happening all at once," Pan Jiluo sighed and shook his head. "The niece of Huo Maitao's daughter-in-law's child has been staying at the Royal Hospital without any sign of being discharged; Elliot accidentally exploded his hand while practicing alchemy yesterday, but luckily the injury isn't serious, and he just needs a few days to recover, it won't affect his trip to the alchemy city..." Pan Jiluo mentioned a few unlucky incidents that could be tolerated, as for the others, when the teacher had something come up and couldn't teach the class, the students couldn't possibly stop attending, so they needed substitute teachers, and those few professors who challenged their intelligence naturally fell into the category of substitute teachers.
Pan Jiluo feels that he has already made a great effort to give reasonable excuses, but when Wen Nanshi hears it, their first response is whether the pharmacy branch of the two academies has been cursed by dark magic practitioners. Moreover, they must be at least at the level of advanced magicians, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many advanced pharmacists unlucky at the same time.
而且居然还有六品药师不小心掉坑里，拐了脚！
那可是六品药师，至今为止，他还没有听说过有达到六品药师资质的修炼者不是中高级魔导师的。一位中高级魔导师走路会不小心摔坑里拐了脚，这说出去不是要笑掉别人大牙的啊！
With even such excuses at hand, Wen Nanshi felt that he had indeed been away from the pharmacist circle in the imperial city for too long. He couldn't match the thick-skinned attitudes of the two in front of him, so he could only retreat.
“还喝什么苦兮兮得妙坛啊，走了我那里还剩下一小瓶千里香，你算是有口服了。”前脚送走闻院长，潘吉洛后脚就把梓苏院长给拉出了院子。让梓院长不由得怀疑，潘院长是否事先收到了消息，故意在这里等着闻院长自动送上门？
