Chapter 620: Just who’s the idiot? (2/2)

His Excellency Pill King quickly revealed himself from his hiding place. He never thought things would develop like this. Both him and the novice didn’t believe Han Yunxi’s words. He said, “Han Yunxi, you can’t even identify a single pill?”

Han Yunxi only rolled her eyes and ignored him. She was watching the pill so intently just then to make sure she wouldn’t make any mistakes. The detox system had already scanned and listed the names of the pills in her head three times. Poison and medicine were of the same family. Although the detox system was better at differentiating poisons, it could still do preliminary identification of medicinal ingredients. Forget about 100, even 1,000 types were a piece of cake.

“Han Yunxi, say something!” Pill King was very agitated. He had finally found a disciple worthy of inheriting his knowledge, so he didn’t want to lose her.

Han Yunxi only glanced at him before declaring coldly, “Listen well! Violet Gan, Wind Oak, Four Woods, Birch Leaf, Panacea Pill….” Like this, she rattled off 107 names in one breath, leaving both the novice and Pill King speechless. Although they were familiar with all 107 pills, they’d never hear anyone rattle them off so quickly.

By the time she was done, both Pill King and the novice were completely at a loss. She casually cleared her throat and asked, “A total of 107 pills. Is that right?”

Pill King stared at her speechlessly, while the impatient novice was left stuttering in her wake. “You…y-you, say them one more time!”

“You didn’t hear me clearly?” Han Yunxi asked.

The little novice had heard clearly in the beginning, but lost track of her speed by the end and missed a bunch of names. Whatever the case, his mind was all a mess now. “I…I didn’t have time to catch them all.”

“Then which ones did you miss?” Han Yunxi asked.

“I…let me think,” the novice said seriously.

Han Yunxi instantly burst into laughter. “You’re still stupid, but you still have the nerve to guard the Medicine Requesting Cave. You should kick yourself out instead!”

The little novice still hadn’t figured out where he was stupid before Gu Beiyue broke into laughter as well. He hadn’t been happy since Chu Yunyi kidnapped him. Meanwhile, Long Feiye’s smile was radiant.

Since the novice hadn’t heard clearly, how could he know which names he missed? Han Yunxi had obviously set the novice up for a trap. Who said she was a kind and compassionate woman? See here, she even got people back for calling her dumb. Pill King hadn’t heard a few of the names either, but he didn’t dare ask in case Han Yunxi tricked him too and shredded his dignity.

The little novice was both humiliated and furious. “Repeat it one more time, slower this time!”

“My time is limited. I’ve already said all the names, so it’s your fault for not listening properly. If you stay stupid until the 2-hour time limit is up, then I wouldn’t need to try the other two trials at all,” Han Yunxi said coldly.

Speechless, the novice had no choice but to give way. “Then this won’t count as part of the time limit. Speak your piece slowly.”

He refused to believe that this woman could get 100 percent accuracy. Just then she’d spoken so quickly that she must have jumbled up some of the words on purpose. Pill King thought the same thing, so he stood silently to wait on one side. Han Yunxi examined them both before slowly repeating the pill names word for word. This time, both of them heard each and every one clearly. By the time she reached the end, the two of them were completely floored.

It’s actually…all correct!

Moreover, she’d only used about 20 minutes to determine the entire list! She didn’t even look at the pills one by one! How did she do it? Just by the smell alone? Every person who came to the cave without exception had either left with a curse, or was doomed to stay here forever as a disciple to plant, make, and study medicine.

Han Yunxi was the first person to pass the first trial!

Neither the novice nor His Excellency Pill King could believe their eyes.

“You’ve heard it all clearly, right? Are they all accurate?” Han Yunxi asked.

Finally, the novice recovered his senses, nodding his head with a reverent tone. “Yes! They’re all correct! Congratulations, you’ve successfully passed the first trial!”

Pill King’s gaze grew scorching hot as he looked at Han Yunxi, stunned beyond belief. He was thrilled! He knew that his insight couldn’t have failed him. This was one girl he’d never let go.

So what if she’s passed the first trial? The second trial doesn’t just test medical knowledge. I’m willing to bet my head that they won’t pass that one at all!
