The Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith [Translated Novel]

Chapter 2148: This Question Is Well Asked (2)

Master Zhang pointed to the large box behind him and the opening at the top of the box was large enough to fit one hand.

“In a moment, everyone will vote for a piece of paper and on paper it will be your topic. There would be a random name of a second tier medicinal pill. After voting on the topic, you will receive three sets of corresponding medicinal herbs. Your task is to use these three sets of medicinal herbs to purify one tray of medicinal pills and the pills you are refining will be judged based on quality and quantity, thus obtaining different points.”

"Next, everyone please wake up to vote!"

As soon as Master Zhang finished speaking, he declared his intention for everyone to go upstairs.

Since the second round of drawing order was ascertained based on the first round ranking, Huang Yueli stood in front of the queue and became the first to draw the draw.

He stood still in front of the box but he did not immediately put his hand in to vote. Instead, he turned his head towards Master Zhang and asked, "Master Zhang, previously regarding the rules you mentioned, I didn't quite understand a few points so I want you to give me some pointers."

Master Zhang politely replied, "Young Miss Bai, go ahead."

Huang Yueli then asked her question, “There are three sets of medicinal herbs that we will receive and if the first set of medicinal herbs has been successfully refined into medicinal pills, then, then should we immediately ask for the awarding of points or should we proceed to using the next medicinal herb into pills?”

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Miss Bai's intention is..."

Huang Yueli noticed that she was confused and thought that she did not explain it clearly so she hurriedly tried to explain further, “What I mean is, other than the quality of the medicinal pills, the, did the total number of pills gain higher points or did the completion of the refining time gain more points? If based on speed, then I don't need to continue refining the second tray of the medicinal pill.”

This question had quite an impact on awarding points and Huang Yueli was worried if he had refined the remaining three medicinal pills and it turned out that the points would not be higher, either, so he had to ask clearly.

When Master Zhang heard this question, his facial expression grew even more astonished.

It took a while before he regained consciousness as he said, “Ughh... This question! I'm not thinking about this carefully. En, the duration of the competition is fixed and four hours is the limit then if in this duration of time, you can refine one tray to the top of the medicinal pill, then the number of points will double!”

Hearing that, Huang Yueli's eyes sparkled, “Really? That's great! I'm grateful to you for answering my question.”

Master Zhang wiped away the sweat on his forehead, "There's no need to thank him..."

Although he did not say this, but he felt very surprised. Could he really think that second tier medicinal pills were that easy to refine?

Master Zhang did not dare to say it directly but Feng Xiaoyan who was standing behind Huang Yueli heard what the two of them were talking about because she could not help but laugh.

“I say, Bai Ruoli, why are you asking for this? Do you know or not, that a second rank Pill Master can usually only refine one tray or medicinal pill out of ten trays? Now, you are only given a total of three sets and if you can perfect the entire tray, you must burn your dupe to thank God! Still thinking of perfecting some trays? What kind of joke is that?”

Huang Yueli blinked, “What? So there you have it..”

He was actually a little surprised, because when he refined a second tier medicinal pill, other than when the Little Phoenix came out to wreak havoc, otherwise he would not fail at all.

He assumed that even if ordinary Pill Masters did not have a success rate as high as his, they should at least have a success rate of around fifty to sixty percent!

Who knew that second tier medicinal pills were actually difficult to refine?
