It was almost an instinct for an Alchemist to identify a pill, but instinct was not the ability to identify all pills. It was more of an ability to identify the pills that had been refined.
If it was an unfamiliar pill, it would be difficult to tell what kind of pill it was just by looking and smelling it.
If he could taste it, he might be able to distinguish the medicinal herbs used in the pill and make some inferences from it.
Not being able to taste it ... It was too difficult!
If he couldn't even identify it, there was no way he could deduce the effects of the medicine. He might as well go back to wash up and sleep. Perhaps he could dream of something more useful!
Shi wancai wasn't very confident, but he couldn't show his fear on his face. He smiled and nodded."Grand elder's question is really interesting, very interesting! Then I'll try!"
Lin Yi didn't mind as he gestured for Ouyang cuantian to take out the pill.
Ouyang cuantian's eyes flashed with pride as he casually took out a Jade box and opened it.
Inside the jade box was a pill the size of a longan. It was red in color and gave off a burning fragrance.
This elixir wasn't refined by Ouyang kuantian, but was a precious elixir obtained by chance. Whether it was the Wutong continent or the Fengqi continent, there was almost no such elixir circulating.
To put it bluntly, this pill was not refined on the starsource continent, but by an Alchemist from another continent!
Be it in terms of materials or techniques, they were different from those in the starsource continent.
Just by looking at it with the eyes and smelling it with the nose, most alchemists would think that it was a fire-attribute medicinal pill.
But it was not!
Ouyang cuantian was clearly trying to scam Lin Yi by using this pill as the topic.
He didn't care if he'd also conveniently taken advantage of Shi shengcai!
"Deans, did you see it clearly? This is a precious pill that I have obtained by chance. Please observe it carefully and explain to us what kind of pill it is and what use it has. The time limit is 15 minutes. It starts now!"
Shi shengcai wasn't in a hurry to make a move this time, and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yi with great grace."Principal Sima, first?"
"No need, we can do it together. We can't lift it with our hands anyway."
Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, inviting Shi chengcai to watch it together.
Shi shengcai thought the same, so the two stood side by side in front of the jade box like friends and carefully observed the pill inside.
The pill exuded a very confusing fragrance, and the two of them sniffed it a few times at the same time.
The identification process wasn't very interesting, and Lin Yi and Shi Yucai didn't spend too much time on it.
After about four or five minutes, they finished their observation and fell into deep thought.
It didn't take long before Shi Yucai took the lead to get a pen and paper and began to write down the answer.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, waited a little longer before he picked up his pen and quickly replied.
It was indeed difficult to identify a pill in such a way.
But Lin Yi's theoretical knowledge was unparalleled, and with the help of his spirit sense, the Super difficult questions that Ouyang kuantian thought would be difficult for Lin Yi weren't actually that difficult.
Shi shengcai felt a little proud after completing the task. He felt that he would definitely be able to turn the tables this time.
He'd lost to Lin Yi in both time and points in the first round, and he didn't know what the results of the second round were, but he was much faster than Lin Yi.
After Lin Yi answered, Ouyang kuantian smiled coldly in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face,"Are the two of you done? You can put the answers you wrote down first, then state them verbally. Finally, you can compare them with the text to determine the score. "
"Since principal Shi has finished first, how about you make a statement first? Seeing that director Shi seems to be very confident, this Lord has Great Expectations for director Shi's answer!"
After hearing this, Shi shengcai immediately gave a gentle and elegant nod. She said with a faint smile,"Grand Elder Ouyang, you're too kind. I'll start with some of the conclusions I've come up with after my identification. I might make a fool of myself, so please don't laugh at me!"
His words were very humble, but there was an unconcealed pride in his tone. It seemed that Shi longcai was indeed very confident in the results of the identification.
"I've never seen Grand elder's pill before. If I only look at its color and smell, it's easy to mistake it for a fire attributed pill. "
"In the beginning, I also had such a guess! However, after careful analysis, he realized that this was a deduction that was completely contrary to the facts! If I say that this is a fire attribute pill, then I really don't have the qualifications to become a pill refining Grandmaster!"
After hearing Shi tiancai's answer, Ouyang cuantian smiled and nodded in satisfaction, as if he approved of Shi tiancai's answer.
This point that Shi longcai had seen was a difficult point. Even many alchemy grandmasters could be misled by such a short period of observation.
Thus, in terms of standard, Shi Yucai was indeed superior to most alchemy grandmasters who had just entered the sect.
Shi shengcai lived up to his name as a genius!
Moreover, this guy was a Grandmaster of arrays, not an expert in alchemy.
This further proved that Shi tiancai was extraordinary.
"According to my observations, the true attribute of this pill is ice! And it was Extreme Ice! In this world, the majority of things are reversed when they reach an extreme. For example, steel that has been tempered a hundred times will become soft, but it is even more difficult to destroy!"
"This is the principle behind this pill. It's extremely cold, but it looks like it has a fire attribute. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Grand Elder didn't allow us to touch and try it?"
No matter how it looked like a fire attribute on the outside, it was definitely an ice attribute on the inside. So once he touched and tasted it, he would discover the problem.
Only by simply observing and smelling could it form the greatest misleading.
"Dean Shi is indeed amazing. You've correctly identified the properties of this medicinal pill! Just from this point alone, you can get a three point evaluation!"
Ouyang cuantian didn't hold back his praise and nodded in admiration. He then continued to look at Shi Yucai with anticipation in his eyes."Next is the medicinal effect and use of the medicinal pill. I wonder how much Dean Shi can say?"
Shi shengcai laughed proudly."I really can't make an effective judgment just by observing and smelling it. I can only make a slight guess. If there's anything wrong, please correct me, Grand Elder Ouyang!"
"Extreme Ice pills are very rare in our Fengqi great continent, but we can basically make a deduction from similar pills! I think that this pill is most likely used to refine the body, right? It uses the extreme Ice attribute to refine the body. If the user doesn't have the same Extreme Ice attribute, then the user must use the extreme Ice attribute to neutralize the extreme fire attribute. "
"In addition to these two special physiques, an ice-attribute pill is not suitable for ordinary people. It may cause damage to the body, so this pill is extremely precious in the eyes of those who need it. It is a priceless treasure. In the eyes of those who don't need it, I'm afraid it is almost the same as poison!"
After saying that, Shi longcai cupped his hands with a smile and said confidently,"This is just my immature inference. Grand Elder, please excuse me!"
