When the old man heard this, he stopped trying to persuade Ye Fan. He just shook his head and said, "Since you insist on participating in the Dragon Gate Competition, you should pass the drug boy's assessment first." At this point, the old man casually picked up the words from the table.
He took an ancient book and handed it to Mark:
"In this ancient book, there is a description of elementary medicinal materials. If you can understand it and sort out the specific functions of those medicinal materials, even if you have passed the medicine boy's assessment, start now."
All kinds of medicinal materials on the Destiny Continent were sorted out by the ancient sages after countless attempts.
Such medicinal materials grow in some deep mountains and old forests.
Nowadays, the medicinal materials in Destiny Continent are all from forces like Dandian. After countless generations of efforts, their efficacy was discovered.
But even so, there are still many medicinal materials in Destiny Continent, and their functions have not been deciphered.
Now this old man actually wants Ye Fan to directly decipher the medicinal materials in an ancient book. This is obviously to let Ye Fan retreat in the face of difficulties.
Because the medicinal materials in this ancient book are very rare, at least it would take a medicine practitioner from the Alchemy Palace to identify them one by one.
Now Ye Fan is not even a medicine boy, so a sudden assessment like this will naturally embarrass him.
Ye Fan ignored everyone's thoughts, but took the ancient book and read it carefully.
He didn't read everything at a glance, and he didn't show any ability to remember anything.
But after reading this ancient book in just a few minutes, it might cause some trouble.
Lu Yifeng knew that the other party was deliberately trying to embarrass Ye Fan. Of course, this kind of embarrassment was for Ye Fan's good, and he wanted him to retreat.
After all, Han Xuzi's reputation is too great.
If Ye Fan takes part in the Dragon Gate Competition under the name of Han Xuzi and fails to get a good ranking, his end will indeed be quite miserable.
But now seeing Ye Fan holding the ancient book and reading it seriously, Lu Yifeng was speechless. This guy must be too good at pretending.
The words in this book were all ancient characters that even he couldn't understand. He didn't believe that Ye Fan could understand the words on it.
But he didn't know that Ye Fan could really understand the text above.
Because the text in this ancient book happened to be written in a very popular ancient character in Tianming Continent.
And Ye Fan not only understands this relatively popular ancient characters, but is also very proficient in even the most ancient characters.
Of course, all of this is thanks to the inheritance of the ancient alchemist.
"Hey, you can actually understand the text on this?" The old man was a little surprised when he saw Ye Fan flipping through ancient books and writing down the contents he read in notes, and it was quite accurate.
Even in the Alchemy Palace, there are very few people who can understand this kind of writing, and they are all ancient figures.
And this young man, who seems to be less than twenty years old, can actually understand such ancient characters, which is obviously beyond the old man's expectation.
Because Ye Fan came through the back door with Han Xuzi's wooden sculpture, everyone present, except Lu Yifeng, believed that Ye Fan had no ability.
Among them, the master of the medicine hall was extremely indifferent to Ye Fan. The only thing that made him care was the wooden sculpture in Ye Fan's hand.
But now that I saw that Ye Fan could actually decipher the medicinal materials in this ancient book, I immediately looked at Ye Fan with admiration.
With Ye Fan's skills in refining medicine, it doesn't take much effort to decipher an ancient medicine book.
In just half an hour, he skillfully wrote a complete translation.
Of course, regarding several very rare medicinal materials in the translation, Ye Fan deliberately did not write down all their functions, but only deciphered 90% of them.
It's not that he can't decipher it, it's just that he kept it secret and didn't want to make himself so conspicuous.
Before participating in the Dragon Gate Competition, he felt that he needed to keep a low profile.
"Yes, in such a short time, I have deciphered a complete ancient medicinal text, and also identified several rare medicinal materials one by one. As expected, he is the person recommended by Mr. Han, and his future is bright.
.”
The old man took the translation from Ye Fan's hand and read it carefully. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
Because even he himself thinks that he can only achieve this level, but the problem is that he is already a real alchemist, while Ye Fan is only a young man in his twenties.
At this moment, the old man was quite satisfied with Ye Fan's performance.
When Ye Fan deciphered the ancient medicinal text just now, he deliberately slowed down a lot, and even deliberately wrote a few innocuous words wrong. But even so, Ye Fan's level was still exposed in the eyes of everyone.
It's at the level of smooth flow.
As a true alchemist, the old man naturally had a sharp eye and saw how extraordinary Ye Fan was.
After carefully looking at Ye Fan for a while, the old man with beard and hair looked at the master of the medicine hall and said: "Hall Master Ling, help him apply for a medicine apprentice's micro seal, and then help him get a dragon gate."
Quota for the competition."
Hearing this, the master of the Medicine Hall showed a trace of embarrassment: "Elder Mo, it's nothing to get him a place in the Dragon Gate Competition. It's just a small seal for this medicine disciple. There seems to be no precedent for this in the Alchemy Hall.
,Everyone starts out as a drug boy..."
Before the master of the medicine hall could finish speaking, Elder Mo had already waved his hand and interrupted: "With this little brother's ability, it is more than enough to be a medicine man directly. Okay, I have an explanation above, you are completely
Don’t worry.”
"Yes, Elder Mo." Seeing that Elder Mo had finished his words, the master of the medicine hall did not dare to refute anymore, so he had to bow and accept the order.
Elder Mo ignored the master of the medicine hall and just looked at Ye Fan again and said: "You were introduced by Mr. Han. I hope you can get a good ranking and the honorary title of Longmen Competition. You will be divided into medicine boy and medicine boy."
There are six levels: disciple, pharmacist, first-grade alchemist, second-grade alchemist master, and third-grade alchemist.
In the past few Dragon Gate competitions, the highest reputation was an alchemist. As for the alchemy master and the alchemy master, they have not appeared in recent decades.
So, this time you participate in the Dragon Gate Competition, I hope you can get the title of a pharmacist. As for the alchemist flower, the alchemist master, or the alchemist heavenly master, you should not have any illusions. After all, these three titles
, not set up for ordinary people.”
After the old man finished speaking, he gave Ye Fan an encouraging look and then walked out.
Obviously, the reason why this old man took such good care of Ye Fan was because of Han Xuzi's face.
Ye Fan also knew that although he had performed well when deciphering ancient medicinal texts just now.
But it is estimated that the old man believes that with his level, he can at most be above the Longmen Competition and obtain the title of a medicine disciple. As for the medicine man, he is just encouraging himself.
Only Lu Yifeng felt a little unbelievable. He didn't expect Mark to actually have such ability.
Although he was very enthusiastic about helping Ye Fan before, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think highly of Ye Fan.
In his heart, Ye Fan is just a playboy at best.
I didn't expect that he would make mistakes sometimes.
About ten minutes later, Ye Fan and Lu Yifeng walked out of the door of the medicine hall, still sighing to themselves.
If you have connections, it will be really convenient to get things done.
If it weren't for the wooden sculpture Han Xuzi gave him, Ye Fan would have had some difficulty becoming a medicine boy, let alone signing up for the Dragon Gate Competition.
Ye Fan took out the wood carving in his hand and said with a smile: "This thing is really easy to use. With this thing in this medicine city, why can't I go unimpeded?"
Lu Yifeng curled his lips and said: "You have a good idea. With Senior Mu's character, how could he let you go around with his wood carvings pretending to be powerful..."
Sure enough, before Lu Yifeng finished speaking, the wooden sculpture in Ye Fan's hand suddenly made a "peng" sound, and in an instant, it turned into a pile of sawdust and fell to the ground.
Ye Fan cursed in his heart, these old guys are indeed spirits.
Everything is considered to be exhaustive. He has just become a medicine boy and participated in the Dragon Gate Competition. This heavy wood sculpture in his hand turned into a pile of sawdust in the blink of an eye...
However, I also admired the other party's unparalleled skills even more in my heart. He could seize the opportunity so well. This wood carving broke into pieces at the drop of a hat.
Seeing Ye Fan looking at the sawdust in his hand stupidly, Lu Yifeng was also slightly startled. In fact, he just said it casually. Even he did not expect that the wood sculpture would really break at this time.
Ye Fan slapped the sawdust in his hand with a depressed look, and suddenly felt that he had been pranked.
However, he didn't think much about it. At this time, the Dragon Gate Competition was about to begin, and he had no time to think about these issues.
Ignoring Lu Yifeng's gloating smile, Ye Fan immediately walked towards the Dragon Gate competition field...
