Upon entering the indoor stage, many eyes landed on her and even the other contestants were giving her wary glances. Not only was she the engaged Wangfei of the always silent Zhu Wangye that had flicked his sleeves in disgust at other women's advances to the point even his own family doubted if he swung the other way, Shen Tianyu took second place in the Sword Department. Apart from getting such a favorable spot in the examination of a Department that she didn't belong to, she won first place in the Beast Taming Department she signed up for. Though not as many people went to watch the Beast Taming Department's examination, everyone knew it was harder to make a contract with a powerful demonic beast and get it to obey you than it was to swing a sword at people. It was a dangerous double-edged sword because you won't know if and when that spiritual beast might turn on you or decide it didn't want to obey you anymore. Now, she was attending the competition for the Medical Division and had sailed through two exams.
A lady that they have never heard the name of, much less meet, had achieved all these results in a mere few months since her arrival. If they didn't see everything with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it either!
The process for announcing her arrival and waiting was the same as before. Since there wasn't anyone she was particularly familiar with in this exam, she just sat by herself and closed her eyes, hoping to maybe take a quick nap before she had to go up.
Lun Chang, the sister of Lun Aoman, and Nian Yingge, the quiet and shy fiancée for Mingya nation's Gongzhu, Ming Yunyue, were both in the Internal Medicine Division. However, the exam for that Stage ended yesterday and both of them had resigned from further testing.
...
"The groups today are as follows..." A senior student entered the waiting room and announced the groups the remaining participants were supposed to be in and their group numbers.
Shen Tianyu's eyes immediately snapped open upon hearing the foreign voice. Those that were nearby jolted, thinking that she had been asleep the whole time.
Since the Second examination, the Medical Division implemented this grouping system to prevent participants from having an unfair advantage. The first years would be taking the exam according to their group numbers and anyone not in that group were to stay in the waiting room until their group was called. However, because there were many people being eliminated and dropping out, the groups had to be reorganized each day to even out the numbers. Those that had finished their test, no matter their score, were escorted out of the testing building to prevent them giving answers to the waiting students.
The first to leave the waiting room was Group 1. The subsequent Groups followed at sporadic intervals and the room started getting more spacious with the emptying of people.
"Group 7, it's your turn to take the exam. Please follow me." The same senior student cam back for Shen Tianyu's group. At the same time that Shen Tianyu opened her eyes, she was already unfolding her arms and standing up from her chair. Following the senior student along with the rest of Group 7, Shen Tianyu arrived at the now familiar indoor main stage.
It was a raised, square platform with stone steps leading up to it. Scattered around the square platform at equal distance from each other, were wooden tables laden with fresh green herbs.
"Feel free to choose a station. Each station has a set of herbs, each set of herbs is slightly different than the others. Your job in this exam is to identify which herbs can combine into a deadly poison within the allotted time frame of half a shichen[1]. There are multiples of each herb and you just need to gather them together and record them, the exact number of stalks and leaves are not as important for now. Since you will learn those in the coming days. This is so you can recognize which herbs you shouldn't carelessly throw together, unless you want to be chased for being a quack. A reminder that not all herbs need to be used and you don't need to note down every single possible combination. Just do the best you can, struggle is also a sign of progress." The elder in charge of this test told the students.
Everyone ascended the stone steps and picked a random table to settle behind. The elder raised his hand and seeing everyone settled, he swung it down as he announced, "Begin!"
Shen Tianyu took one look at the pile in front of her and immediately started separating them into smaller piles. Each smaller pile occupied a certain spot on the table according to their properties, she even put some on top of the paper that was to be used for recording.
Myriad Arrow Grass, Jimson Weed, and Living Root Herb were put in a small pile. Silvergrass, Contusion herb, Rock Jasmine, and the Seven Petal Flower were another. Flame Flower, Flamegrass and Silkweed were effective in creating heat within the body when combined. The Diamond herb, Moon Soul herb, and Ice Grass had the opposite effects. Plague Flower and the Blood Spirit herb were a different category of nasty.
Only when everything was separated into their different properties did she start to mix and match everything on the table. She set aside the piles on the sheets of paper ad started to write down combinations at record speed. A few herbs were used only for medicinal properties because the amount it would take for those herbs to become poisonous was too massive to make it effective.
Some herbs can be mixed with herbs of other properties to create deadly effects. In this category, certain herbs were weakened by opposing properties while some were strengthened. Some herbs, mixed with plants of other characteristics, would become medicine instead. Some had immediate, explosive effects, while others would torture someone over time.
