125 Star grass emperor (2/2)
Both of them glanced at each other. You Zhiming already understood Gao Yang’s plan.
“Su Hao...”
You Zhiming was calm. How could he forget about this grandson tripping him at the front desk? At first, he had thought that Su Hao was the disciple of his master’s friend. He’d never thought that Su Hao would turn out to be the disciple of any enemy instead. Forget about someone who failed the beginner pharmacist exam, even a beginner pharmacist wasn’t anything in his eyes.
You Zhiming was confident in easily crushing him!
“Alright then everyone!”
The judges cleaned themselves and returned to the stage. Gao Yang and Zhang Zhongtian sat to either side of the judges. The stairs were completely filled with pharmacists. Almost every disciple of the Pharmacist Association had joined the crowd.
This was a hot competition!
Gao Yang’s disciple, You Zhiming, was competing against berserk master Zhang Zhongtian’s disciple!
Although it was only a duel for the beginner pharmacist exam, the significance of the result would be extraoadinary!
If You Zhiming won?
Master Zhang Zhongtian’s would lose all face. His disciple’s skills weren’t up to par and yet he dared to accuse others of playing tricks. Zhang Zhongtian’s accumulated fame would vanish. This was the reality of today’s society.
If Su Hao won?
Gao Yang would lose any remaining face. If Su Hao qualified to become a beginner pharmacist, that would mean that he had played some tricks during the previous experiments. Additionally, those judges would probably seek revenge for all the damage that they had suffered from the explosion.
A heavyweight clash.
Unexpectedly, both of the masters indifferently sat on the stage, as if they had the utmost confidence in their disciple.
The judges looked at each other for a moment before saying, “Bring the herbs here.”
Shua!
Two experiment tables were pushed up. On each table, a single portion of herbs was present. Both disciples only had one chance. The judges would score based on their respective performances.
When the experiment tables were pushed to the center, everyone’s expression took a sudden change. This herb…
On the experiment table, a crystal clear blue grass was lying inside the glassware, surrounded by a shining blue light.
“This…this is…star grass emperor!”
The judges exclaimed in shock, “It turned out to be such a rare herb!”
Star grass emperor!
All pharmacists were startled.
What was star grass emperor?
As the name suggested, it was the king among all star grass. It was said that for every patch of star grass, there would be one star grass emperor! When the star grass emperor died, the whole star grass population in the area would vanish. That was why star grass emperor was so precious!
In theory, star grass was one of the materials for origin ability recovery drug. Naturally, star grass emperor was no exception. In reality though, nobody dared to use star grass emperor for experiment!
This was not only due to its rarity and high price tag. The properties of the star grass emperor were so strong that it’d increase the unpredictability of an experiment by several fold, increasing the failure rate.
So far, the worst person that had managed to successfully mix the herb was at the intermediate level.
“This is madness!”
This was what everyone was thinking.
This was just the exam for a beginner pharmacist. Was it necessary to use star grass emperor? Yet, star grass emperor was still considered to be star grass. It was just that it would be difficult to mix later. Although everyone knew something fishy was going on, it was still within the borders of rationality.
Under normal circumstances, who would dare to use star grass emperor as a material for an examination?
The value of this grass was in the millions of star dollars.
“Gao Yang, what’re you trying to scheme?” Zhang Zhongtian suddenly stood up and glared at him, “Are you scared that Su Hao is going to succeed and expose your wrongdoings? Is that why you chose this type of herb?”
“Star grass emperor is something at a level which even intermediate pharmacists don’t have the confidence of completing.”
