Chapter 358: Exam Question: Promotion Without Loss

The highly anticipated finals of the pharmacist competition have finally arrived.
Standing alone at the entrance designated for participants, looking into the venue, Yun Tai feels completely different from when sitting in the audience seats. The circular arena is arranged with eight circular stone platforms according to the positions of the inverted pentagrams forming a regular triangle, each platform holding a simple white jade alchemy table. The smooth texture and clean patterns of the jade give a sense of understated luxury. The audience seats are still in the form of tiered platforms, with a dizzying array of colorful heads. The noisy voices definitely can't be misunderstood.
A regular vegetable market can be compared to it.
"The original capacity of the audience stand was a maximum of two hundred thousand, now it has become four hundred and fifty thousand, with all the magicians participating, and not a single one below the fifth rank, it took a whole three days." A deep voice echoed in the mist.
A sound echoed around me.
Yun Tai gasped in disbelief. Although this was a world of magic and combat, someone once said that the ratio between fighters and normal people was 1:10,000, and the same ratio applied to mages and fighters. From Yun Tai's perspective, this statement was definitely an exaggeration, but it also indirectly highlighted the rarity of mages. That's why they decided to completely remodel the arena for all the mages! This was not something that could be easily achieved with just a wealthy person. The first time Yun Tai witnessed the power of the Alchemist Guild, he was left speechless.
A corner was lifted before us.
"Even so, there are still a large number of practitioners lingering outside the venue, watching the live magical images in real-time. This is the highest number of on-site spectators the Pharmacists Tournament has ever seen," Jing Jianbing exclaimed.
"Such a grand scene, it should be considered a good thing for the Pharmacist Guild!" Yun Tai said with his head held high. The head of the Jing family was a whole two heads taller than Yun Tai!
"I hope so."
"The head of the Tōu family?" Yun Tai squinted slightly in confusion.
"Nothing, I just admire Yun Pharmacist's courage." Saying this, Tōu Jianping stepped into the arena, triggering a wave of frenzied cheers.
Yuntai raised an eyebrow and said to himself, "Courage can be gained by constantly pushing oneself."
When Yuntai stepped onto the arena, the entire arena suddenly fell silent for a moment, with only enthusiastic applause coming from the spectators of Yulan. Then, scattered applause could be heard from the surroundings.
依照惯例，品级越高的药师位置越醒目。所以云苔很自觉地走到了五芒星掉尾那个点的石台上站定。
"Yun Tai, Yun Tai."
Yun Tai turned her head and saw Ye Mianhua waving desperately on the closest seat in the stands. Besides a few middle-aged pharmacists from Yulan, there were also students from the Pharmacists' Academy surrounding him. The Pharmacists' Guild naturally reserved a certain number of seats for Yulan.
Seats, these people sitting here, you can tell at a glance that they deliberately changed their positions. She smiled and nodded at them.
"Yun Yaoshi."
Chema and Chang Changpu, who entered the arena, specially greeted Yuntai.
Che Ma is very conflicted. He knows the benefits of getting close to Yun Tai, but as the dean of the top-ranked branch of the Ibo Academy, he needs to consider various attitudes and interests. But if we look at Yan, the†(characters missing)†, ever since he recovered, he seems to have let himself go.
Having everything opened up, whether it is the increase in martial prowess or the growth in alchemy skills, all of it is visibly derived from the young girl before my eyes. To say that I am not moved would be a lie.
Chang Changpu was on full guard. He had already noticed that Yuntai was not as innocent as she appeared during Dan Far's challenge. The attitudes of the three presidents also indicated that there were rumors about Yuntai spread by Yulan.
A very large part is likely to be true. Chang Changpu bit his teeth secretly. He could lose to the president and the others, but he would never lose to this little girl who betrayed the guild. What physician? It's simply a side path that combines necromancy spells.
The radiant holy son walked proudly to the Inner Triangle, and even stood at the tip of it. This move immediately filled the entire crowd with hatred.
Those three stone platforms in the Inner Triangle are supposed to be reserved for the three association presidents, but this radiant holy son just climbed up there, just like that!
Where is his face?
Who gave him the courage?
Did he get knocked silly during the semi-finals? Poor thing!
On the stands, many hotheaded pharmacists have started making a ruckus.
Watching this lively scene, Yun Tai Shi Quan gushes, "In the pharmacists' competition, the ranking is strictly based on the five-star level. The Holy Son takes the c-position and is met with boos all around."
Che Ma Pu Chi let out a scornful laugh. This Yun Tai was indeed just a child, no different from those naughty kids in his academy.
Chang Changpu's face immediately darkened. Although he was cooperating with the Bright Light Sect, it was a mutually beneficial partnership and did not mean that the Bright Light Sect could step on the face of their Pharmacist Guild. Translated: "
"Sage, your seat is over there." Chang Changpu pointed his hand to the front left, then he turned around: "Cloud Pharmacist, as a respected pharmacist, it is very disrespectful to mock others recklessly."
"I have learned from your teachings."
Clearly, the Lightbringer Son was not actually made foolish by the fall. He immediately bowed respectfully and performed a pastoral salute. "Thank you, Elder Chang, for your guidance. This is my first time participating in the grand competition, so please kindly point out any mistakes. Joseph wishes to express his gratitude beforehand."
”
The five stone platforms on the points of the pentagram are now occupied. In the front are the Son of Light and Tong Jianbing, followed by Chenma and Chang Changpu, with Yuntai hanging at the back.
"President, please enter."
三名会长出现在了主席台。曦尘会长并没有多说什么废话，而是转头对药归农示意了一下：“接下来，有劳了。”
“会长放心。”
The three presidents descended gracefully and took their positions on the three stone platforms in the inner circle.
Yao Guinong stepped forward and stood in front of the podium. After pausing for a moment, he began his opening remarks when he confirmed that all the attention in the audience was focused on him.
After months of competition, the eight pharmacists standing on the arena today, if I say they are the strongest pharmacists in the entire continent, surely there will be people who disagree (laughter erupts from the audience). But I believe they will deliver a splendid and exciting match (applause ensues). "Pharmacist Yao Gui Nong took a breath and continued, "Before this, someone proposed that the purpose of refining medicinal pills is to cure diseases and save people, not for mere display. The machines can detect..." Only reply to the translated content.
No matter how good the quality of the medicine, if the patient takes it and it doesn't work, then for the patient, it is no different from a useless medicine."
The words of Yao Gui Nong caused an uproar among the pharmacists present. Although many pharmacists had heard before that the final round of the pharmacist competition would be different from previous years, with on-site testing and real-life verification of the efficacy of the medicine instead of instrument detection, they found it novel but dismissive. Pharmacists have always prepared medicines according to the requirements of the seekers. As long as the instrument detects that the medicine has efficacy, then the results after taking the medicine are not the responsibility of the pharmacist. Any problems faced by the seeker after taking the medicine can only be attributed to the initial request for the wrong medicine, which is the seeker's own problem. It is unreasonable for pharmacists to bear this responsibility. If the Pharmacists Guild is supposed to bear any responsibility in such cases, it would imply unnecessary burden on the pharmacists.
If you try to do this, judging from the reactions on the scene, it will definitely be extremely difficult with many people opposing it.
At the same time, various forces, contrary to expectations, did not choose to go along with it. When it comes to pharmacology, who would know the properties and effects of medicinal materials better than a pharmacist? If a pharmacist can begin to control the situation from the initial prescription stage, and...
They are responsible for the final result and believe that such changes are beneficial for all practitioners.
The Pharmaceutical Association does not want to change the current situation, but the president is well aware that pharmacists have to make changes, and they have to do it quickly. They need to take the lead in making improvements and take control of the initiative. All of this stems from a new profession.
's birth originated from a talented junior pharmacist who was at the prime of his youth.
"So," Yao Gui Nong calmly took a deep breath, his voice steady, completely suppressing the noise around him, "this competition only focuses on the final result. There is only one question as well, which is to assist the cultivators in advancing without any harm."
