Leveling System of Acquiring Skill From Books

When he saw a crumpled paper, he was immediately curious, "What happened to this examinee?"    

"His answers were all randomly written."    

"Let me take a look."    

That person started to look with interest. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.    

He said lightly, "Mr Luo, you are wrong this time."    

"What do you mean?"    

"You should take a look yourself."    

Luo Qiu took the paper and his eyes were filled with shock.    

Ye Chen's answer was extremely precise. His foundation was not something an ordinary person could have.    

Luo Qiu felt a little awkward and continued reading.    

Finally, he said, "He still made a mistake."    

"Let me see."    

When that person saw the final answer, he sighed and shook his head.    

Following which, he put down Ye Chen's test paper.    

The melodious bell rang once again.    

Luo Qiu stood in front of everyone and said with a calm expression, "There are 112 people participating in the first round of the examination, but only three have passed. Meryl, Zhang Shuo, Wang Tian, get ready. In an hour, you will be conducting the next round of the exam."    

Ye Chen was stunned.    

How was this possible?    

His answer was the standard answer.    

Meryl, on the other hand, raised her chin at Ye Chen.    

Ye Chen quickly said, "Examiner, why didn't I pass the test?"    

When Luo Qiu saw Ye Chen ask, he immediately let out a cold snort.    

"Because your answer is wrong."    

"I will never make a mistake."    

Everyone was astonished.    

"He actually dares to question the examiner?"    

"He's really bold. He actually caused trouble in City Lord's Mansion."    

"Are you questioning me?" Luo Qiu looked unhappy.    

He was a 2-star Alchemist, and he could concoct a Third Grade pill. Even the City Lord respected him.    

"I'm not questioning you. I just want to know the answer."    

Ye Chen spread his hands and said, "Of course, if you think I'm questioning you, then I won't deny it."    

Ye Chen was the only one who did not respect Luo Qiu.    

Meryl thought in her heart, Luckily I did not have a good relationship with him.    

After that, she walked in front of Ye Chen and said.    

"I can tell you the standard answer."    

"Then tell me." Ye Chen smiled faintly.    

But in Meryl's eyes, his smile was a trace of a cold smile.    

"Elder Luo, can I announce the answer?" Meryl asked.    

"Okay. Announce the correct answer and make him give up."    

Meryl said, "The three herbs are plum grass, Almond flower and Phoenix Immortal Grass."    

The answers to the first and second herbs were not much different from what Ye Chen wrote, but the answers to the third herb were completely different.    

Before she could finish, Ye Chen interrupted her and said, "Are you sure the third herb is Phoenix Immortal Grass?"    

"Of course."    

"Elder Luo, you think so too? " Ye Chen asked.    

"That's right, there's no doubt about it."    

"You guys don't even know the most basic herbs, this has really shocked me."    

Ye Chen smiled coldly.    

"How dare you speak to Elder Luo like this? Don't tell me you don't want to live anymore?"    

"Elder Luo is a famous alchemist who has been around for a long time."    

"Apologize to Elder Luo immediately, or else you won't be able to leave City Lord's Mansion!"    

This time, Ye Chen's words were not only questioning his skill in alchemy, but also an insult to him.    

This was something that Luo Qiu absolutely could not tolerate.    

Immediately, Luo Qiu's expression became incomparably cold.    

"You are called Ye Chen, right? Do you know what you are saying?"    

"I know, you are not qualified to be an alchemist, because you don't even know the herbs."    

Ye Chen continued," If you feel that I am wrong, you can take out the herbs and confront them in public. "    

"Alright, I will do as you wish."    

Luo Qiu's eyes moved. The servant beside him immediately ran to the back of the hall to get the herbs.    

"But if you are wrong, I will make you pay a painful price."    

"No problem. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability."    

"You still doubt my strength!"    

As he spoke, Luo Qiu displayed his cultivation base to the fullest. He was a Soul Formation Stage.    

After all, being an alchemist was a profession that had extremely high requirements for mental energy. All outstanding alchemists possessed great strength.    

But to tell the truth...    

With Luo Qiu's age and cultivation base, he was only a 2-star Alchemist. He couldn't be considered a genius at all.    

"Soul Formation Stage, I'm so scared!"    

Ye Chen showed no signs of weakness. He also unleashed his cultivation base.    

"What?! A Soul Formation Stage at such a young age? Who is he? Could he be the descendant of some major power?"    

"He must be the descendant of some major power. If he doesn't have a backer, would he dare to act so arrogantly in City Lord's Mansion?"    

" This is going to be a good show. Look at Elder Luo's expression. He looks even uglier than Zi eggplant. "    

"Do you think that he can do whatever he wants just because he is strong? A mere Soul Formation Stage can't wreak havoc in the City Lord's Mansion."    

Elder Luo was still as stubborn as before, but he had put all his attention on the herbs.    

Elder Luo began his introduction. "Everyone, please take a look. This is the Phoenix Immortal Grass used in the test just now! First of all, the Phoenix Immortal Grass was purple-red in color, and there was a touch of pale white at the tip of the grass. It was like a lifelike phoenix as a whole. Hence, it was named 'Phoenix'. As for immortals, it was because the Phoenix Immortal Grass would always emit a faint halo. The immortal aura was ethereal, and on its branches, there were many stripes... "    

Elder Luo's introduction was very detailed. Everyone nodded their heads silently when they heard it.    

Only Ye Chen still disdained it.    

"What else do you have to say?"    

Ye Chen said lightly, "Are you sure you are talking about this herb in front of you? Everyone, please take a closer look. It is written in the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs. The stripes on the Phoenix Immortal Grass's branches were rhombus-shaped, while the one in front of them was oval. The faint white color on the tip of the grass covers one-third of the entire leaf, but this plant only has a tiny bit. "    

" Therefore, this herb is not a Phoenix Immortal Grass at all, but a Phoenix-Tail Leaf. "    

Everyone frowned.    

They kept thinking about the knowledge in their minds.    

However, their memories were limited, and they couldn't tell what was going on.    

Ye Chen saw that they were confused and said lightly, "If you don't believe me, you can do a test. The Phoenix Immortal Grass grew in the wetland, so there was a little bit of juice in the branches. But the Phoenix-Tail Leaf is different. It grows in dry lands. The branches are like catkins."    

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he used his spiritual energy to form a blade and cut open the Phoenix-Tail Leaf.    

It was just as Ye Chen had said.    

The Phoenix-Tail Leaf was like cotton, without any moisture at all.    

Luo Qiu was startled.    

Luo Qiu did not even notice this detail.    

And why had he never heard of this Phoenix-Tail Leaf?    

It must have been made up by Ye Chen.    

"What proof do you have to prove that it is a Phoenix-Tail Leaf?"    

Ye Chen sighed and said, "You usually don't read well, and you're not being humble. I really don't know how you became a 2-star Alchemist. I just said, [Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs]. There's a summary in it. Don't tell me you don't even have a complete collection of Medicinal Herbs?"    

When everyone heard this, they all took out the books in the storage ring and started flipping through them.    

The 'Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs' was a sacred book, and it recorded no less than 50,000 medicinal herbs. Almost no one would be able to finish reading it.    

Even if they finished reading it, they would not be able to memorize it.    

Because this book was as thick as a person.    

"You don't have to flip through blindly. The introduction to the Phoenix-Tail Leaf is on page 357. Oh right, the introduction to the Phoenix Immortal Grass is at 1,932 pages."    

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he muttered to himself, "You can't even memorize the 'Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs'. I really don't know how you became alchemists."    

Everyone was speechless.    

The ❮ Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs ❯ was a book as thick as a person!    

To memorize the 'Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs', it would take a lifetime.    

But everyone was also incomparably shocked.    

This indirectly proved that Ye Chen's understanding of medicinal herbs had already reached a terrifying level.    

Ye Chen could even blurt out the contents of which page, which meant that he had read Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs many times.    

Could Ye Chen say that he had only read Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs once?    

Because Ye Chen had a system.    

He could casually search for it.    

Everyone quickly turned to the page Ye Chen mentioned, and their expressions became weird.    

Because Ye Chen had said it correctly, and not a single word was wrong.    

Luo Qiu naturally saw it as well. He felt that he had lost a lot of face, and Ye Chen had mocked him without any restraint.    

If there was a crack in the ground, Luo Qiu would not hesitate to crawl into it.    

Luo Qiu had been an alchemist for several decades, but he had actually lost to a young brat?    

If this matter was spread out, Luo Qiu would lose a lot of face.    

Ye Chen continued, "Now, did you see it clearly? I wonder if I can clear the level?"    

"Yes!"    

Luo Qiu said with difficulty, as if all his strength had been sucked dry.    

Of course, Ye Chen did not want to offend Luo Qiu too much.    

Ye Chen said faintly, "Actually, I can't blame you, because the Phoenix-Tail Leaf has no effect at all. It can't be turned into a medicinal pill. Many delinquent merchants will use the Phoenix-Tail Leaf to fake the truth and sell it as a Phoenix Immortal Grass. Your employees can't tell if it's real or fake. This was also a normal situation. And since you prioritize your first impression, you naturally would not do more research. "
