”Oh? There is such a way too?”
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up
Without years of practice, he knew that it was irade-1 pill However, Pill Debate was different With the Library of Heaven's Path, as long as there were sufficient books and knowledge, learning was an easy task for him!
”This method may seee pills than to resort to thisCheng interjected and shook his head
”Why?”
Zhang Xuan was confused
If one was able to pass the examination based on theories itself to become an apothecary, there should be no need for thee pills
”To tell the truth, it is i into an occupation without trying it hands-on No matter how much theory one learns, if one doesn't verify theht or not! For one who isn't even an apothecary yet to debate with a true apothecary based on knowledge one learnt off the books? Who do you think in?”
Ouyang Cheng said
”This”
Zhang Xuan nodded his head
What one could learn from the books was shallow, to understand the essence of which, one needs to experience it first-hand! This was a fa the utmost truth
How could one ascertain whether so just by theories itself without trying it out? With just a single error, the entire pill forging would end in failure!
One erroneous reat difference!
”Ever since Pill Debate was created, one it and they were all incredible geniuses Their knowledge of pill forging exceeds that of any apothecary However, it is a pity that most of them ended up in failure Of the thousands of ht not even exceed the nuhed
”Not exceeding the nu Xuan was taken aback
[Out of a thousand people, not even five of them succeeded? This success rate is way too low!]
”Indeed, there is a huge difference between theories and practical This is precisely the reason why even though Pill Debate remained a possible way for one to becoradually forgotten!”
Ouyang Cheng shook his head
Pill Debate , but in reality, the difficulty of which was reater
Without practical experience, how could one succeed in it with just theories?
If one didn't have a single mistake in his theory, that meant that his practical should be excellent as well
If so, rather than engaging in a Pill Debate, hemethod It would be much easier that way
”Othersthe laed and his eyes glowed
Pill Debate ht beshort of easy!
With the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to identify errors and flaws directly Just basing on theories itself, others were unable to tell whether sole look via the Library of Heaven's Path, everything was clear to hi a Pill Debate with this, it was impossible for him to make an error He could definitely pass the test easily!
”Since there's such a h Pill Debate!” Thinking such, Zhang Xuan declared without ht that he would be able to persuade the other party to give up after saying so much He didn't expect his words to cause hi was speechless ”Do you know the consequences of failing a Pill Debate?”
”Consequences?”
”Yes Pill Debate requires the presence of a minimum of ten apothecaries to conduct a debate All these apothecaries are people of high standing, and if there isn't any price to pay for failure and everyone were to go on and try it, wouldn't they tire theuild had set a rule regarding such If an apprentice who applied for Pill Debate were to pass the test, nothing would occur On the other hand, if they were to fail, they will have to pay every single apothecary hundred thousand gold coins! On top of that, they will have to suffer a hundred God Slaying Flogs as punish the examinations to beco Xuan was speechless
This punishment was truly severe
Given that a Pill Debate required at least ten apothecaries, if he had to pay each of theold coins, that old coins in total
To an apprentice apothecary, suchiht not even be able to earn thatwas a type of punish on the cultivation realm of the person, it would exert a different force A hundred God Slaying Flogs, even with his current strength, after he was done with the punishment, he would probably be unable to climb out of bed for a month or two
As for the third penalty, a human's lifespan was only around several decades To be banned fro one away from medicinal herbs and pills for ten whole years Basically, this would create an upper limit on a person's future achievements as an apothecary, even if they decided to continue treading on the path
