Chapter 308-310: The First Continuing Stage

Chapter 308 – The First Continuing Stage (1)

Shen Yanxiao did not wait for the curious students to check what medicinal herbs she actually put in the cloth sack. In front of everyone's vision, Shen Yanxiao suddenly grabbed the cloth sack and went towards the purification place not far away.

Shangguan Xiao was now looking for the last medicinal herb he needed when he felt something was amiss. When he turned to look at her, he saw a petite figure on the purification site. No one knew how he had suddenly appeared there, but he now occupied one of the ten medicinal purification tables which was also the best.

Shangguan Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

The other students also looked at Shen Yanxiao's actions and confusedly looked at each other. It was clear on their faces that they did not know what had just happened.

"Why did the little devil go there?" Some of the participating students saw the position they had chosen earlier in their minds. Standing on the east side, they looked towards the west where Shen Yanxiao was currently located. Their mood is very complex.

Of the thirty minutes given to them, ten minutes were still left, but most of them had only found half of the medicinal herbs they needed while the others had been robbed by their opponents. If they were still unable to find all the medicinal herbs they needed after thirty minutes had passed, they would not be able to proceed to the next stage.

“I suspect he will only make low-level potions and have already gone there to secure a place. Heck, maybe he doesn't have all the medicinal herbs, ” said the student who was unhappy with the sarcasm.

Being robbed by a new child makes their mood very bad.

And because of Shen Yanxiao's actions, the spectators couldn't help but let out a series of strange sounds.

When the group of freshmen led by Lin Xuan saw Shen Yanxiao take the first place, their hearts finally felt relieved, but they soon became worried again.

Those junior students could not even find all the medicinal herbs they needed in this short amount of time, so how could Shen Yanxiao do it? Was he really going to concoct a low level potion to participate in the later stages of this competition?

Everyone felt their heart beating like a drum.

A moment later, Shangguan Xiao found the last medicinal herb he needed and went to the area where Shen Yanxiao was. He was sitting on the medicinal purification table behind him.

"You're just concocting a low level potion, you can't fool others." Shangguan Xiao stuffed the medicinal herbs he was holding into the basket lying on the table while narrowing his eyes to Shen Yanxiao's back.

He had only been a little nervous a while ago, so he did not have much time to observe or look at Shen Yanxiao when he took the medicinal herbs. However, judging from the time, Shen Yanxiao's potion would not be much. Shangguan Xiao needed thirty-five different types of medicinal herbs, and he did not even hesitate to take the medicinal herbs during the search. However, he was still four or five minutes behind Shen Yanxiao.

He did not believe that Shen Yanxiao could find more than twenty kinds of medicinal plants in just about twenty minutes.

“You don't have to worry about that. Whatever potion I will make, you will naturally know after the third stage. ” Shen Yan Xiao did not even bother to turn around and look at him as he replied to the sentence in a calm indifferent tone.

His arrogance really made Shangguan Xiao's heart grow angry.

The desire to defeat him in the competition was stronger than ever.

When there were only three minutes left, some students started encouraging others to take their herbs. Finally, one second before the time limit, the remaining eight medicinal purification tables had been occupied by junior and senior students.

While over one hundred and twenty participating students, at this moment, had lost the qualifications to enter the next stage, and sadly left the place with the help of the mentors.

Chapter 309 – The First Continuing Stage (2)

Nearly nine-tenths of the originally over a hundred participants had been cut off, leaving only ten apothecary students left for the next stage.

Most of the students who managed to ascend to the next stage were secretly delighted. It must be known that the skills of each student do not have a big difference. To them, the only reason they passed was because the quest for medicinal herbs was not only based on one's strength; it was also based on one's luck.

But, if one's luck was broken and the formula coincided with the other's luck, then those people would fight each other to obtain the potions they needed.

Thinking of their tension just now, the eight individuals, who had made it through the first stage, were inevitably looking at Shen Yanxiao who was the first to reach the second stage.

At this moment, Shen Yanxiao had put all her medicinal herbs into the basket and covered it with a cover, so that no one could see the medicinal herbs inside.

"This kid is moving so fast, not expecting him to be able to snatch first place." The other students, who had fortunately passed the first stage, had complex expressions as they stared at Shen Yanxiao's back. They did not believe that this new student had actually passed the first stage.

It should be known that over a hundred and twenty participating students had been cut off, and those who had passed the first stage were first year and senior top student elites.

"That's because a low level potion only requires a few medicinal herbs," another student snorted in disdain.

"You mean, he's going to make a low-level potion?"

"What do you think? How long do you think it's been since she enrolled in this school? And how old is that kid? Even if he had already been exposed to medicines before even applying to this school, do you think a thirteen-year-old could concoct a middle-tier potion? No kidding! If one wanted to concoct an intermediate level potion, they would have to be exposed to the pharmacy for at least five years. Do you think this kid has started studying pharmacy since he was eight?”

"That's right."

[Annoying Sky: Remember the episode where SYX made an intermediate level potion in front of second grade students…. Yeah okay, maybe none of you are there or stupid enough to forget it.

Detective Razpyon: The writer kills them so that SYX can play the role of a dark horse in this competition. All for the sake of a satisfying face slap. XDXC]

Some students started discussing with each other and thought Shen Yanxiao was not really competitive.

The most important part of the competition was presenting concoction potions, so even if he took the lead and managed to get first place, it still meant nothing.

Although two among those who had passed the first stage then planned to concoct a low level potion, most of them still possessed a certain strength and would also concoct an intermediate level potion.

One would know the difference between a low level potion and an intermediate level potion even if they used their toes to think.

Herbal refinements should only take about ten minutes, and these ten minutes were extremely important to them. In order to determine the success of the potion they were going to make, they would at least need to refine half the amount of their medicinal herbs within these ten minutes.

Right at this moment, they couldn't think of anyone else's situation

Soon, they all started to quickly refine their own medicinal herbs.

Despite being busy refining the medicinal herbs in his hands, Shangguan Xiao could not help but stare at the back of Shen Yanxiao's petite figure.

Even though the figure was extremely petite, it completely hid all the actions his hands carried out in front.

[Corny Sky: I swear if you understand the meaning in any other way .... Yuki take the knife, I, your beautiful and talented master of gods, allow you to kill them.]

Shangguan Xiao tried to see what Shen Yanxiao refined a few times now, but in the end, he always failed to see her.

In fact, it was not only Shangguan Xiao who failed to see what he was doing, even the crowd on the sidelines could not see the medicinal herbs that Shen Yanxiao was refining either.

Shen Yanxiao occupied the medicinal purification table at the very front, and it happened that the large banner of the Pharmaceutical Branch that was ten meters tall and three meters wide was also at the front, so this covered the figure of Shen Yanxiao from the eyes of the people.

[Razpyon: To be honest I have trouble imagining their position at all.XD]

Chapter 310 – The First Continuing Stage (3)

Pu Lisi had also tried several times to see what the smelly boy was doing, but he failed every time he did. He was so upset that he wanted those mentors to cut the banner.

It could be said that when Shen Yanxiao took over the place, she was very hidden from the sight of others.

The watching students stretched their necks and saw the work of the other nine students. Shangguan Xiao was far superior to them in terms of speed and quality.

The students were watching him as he purified the medicinal herbs methodically and turned them into the ingredients needed for his potion. Their eyes were filled with jealousy and envy.

Being able to sit at the top of the Pharmaceutical Branch, Shangguan Xiao's strength was naturally strong.

He only spent eight minutes to quickly refine the thirty-five herbs in his hands.

He was also the first to complete this entire refining process.

There were still two minutes left when Shangguan Xiao finished refining the herbs. He calmly wiped his hands with a handkerchief and arrogantly raised his chin slightly before looking towards the busy Shen Yanxiao in front of him.

"Rubbish," said Shangguan Xiao. The corner of her lips curved up as she coldly stared at Shen Yanxiao's figure.

Spending such a long time just to refine some medicinal herbs, how could he compare to her?

After which, the remaining participants had finished refining their medicinal herbs one after another.

All over the place, only Shen Yanxiao was left to purify the medicinal plants.

There were only thirty seconds left, yet he still did not seem to stop.

Lin Xuan and the others couldn't help but be secretly drenched by the cold sweat in place.

The remaining student, who had completed the task, could not help but look at the nice sight of the petite figure busy refining his medicinal herbs.

“Not much time left, why not admit defeat quickly. After all, no one expects you to win, so you don't have to slap your face until it's swollen just to look impressive! ” a student maliciously shouted at Shen Yanxiao's back.

“By the way, even if you lose, it's not like you lost money or you left the Pharmaceutical Branch. Why are you so hard on yourself?” Everybody laugh. When Shen Yanxiao took the first place, everyone was shocked, but now that the second stage had begun, everything returned to normal.

Sure enough, this brat passed the first stage for another reason. And now that the time had come for him to show his ability, he was unable to do so within the short time allotted.

Jokes and laughter were unceasingly heard.

The voices were not hidden, so it gradually spread to the audience area.

Among the crowd, Tang Nazhi clenched his fists as he narrowed his eyes; his body began to move.

But the next second, a slender white hand pressed his shoulder down, waking him up and stopping him at the same time from what he was about to do.

Tang Nazhi was surprised to see the fox-like eyes of Qi Xia's.

"Don't be in a hurry, can't you see that the little boy is ignoring this crowd of idiots?" Qi Xia said with a smile and excitement in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Tang Nazhi watched Qi Xia speechlessly. All the branches have their competitions today. And obviously, Qi Xia should be at the Witch Branch competition.

Qi Xia raised his eyebrows before looking at the competition area where Shen Yanxiao was standing. He said casually and nonchalantly, "Things like that can be resolved in one second with one move, do you think I can waste so much time?"

Tang Nazhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. If Shangguan Xiao's degree as the best student of the Pharmaceutical Branch was obtained slowly, then it could be said that Qi Xia, this evil-doer, had obtained it by shattering everyone's confidence into pieces.
