Seeing this, others also followed into the medicinal field to familiarise themselves with the herbs.
However, since the Department Leader set this as the first freshmen test for the Potions Department, then it wasn’t so easy to complete.
The confident girl looked at the medicinal field once and found that she didn’t recognise a single one of the herbs.
She couldn’t help but turn to Instructor Tian, who was standing by the medicinal field, and asked: “Instructor, we don’t know anything about these medicinal herbs, so how should we familiarise ourselves with it?”
Instructor Tian smiled: “That, you need to solve yourself. Other students entering the Potions Department in previous sessions all completed it this way.”
“Ah!” The girl was stunned, then asked: “Aren’t there any herbal books or illustrations for us to refer to?”
“No, you need to go find it yourself.” Instructor Tian replied calmly.
Through the two or three times of contact, he was only optimistic about Yu Qing Qian and Yin Ming among the six people. The talents of the other few could only be said to be average. Whether they could become real Apothecaries could only depend on their comprehension and diligence.
The four smiled bitterly, and their hearts were filled with a sense of disappointment. They never expected that entering the Potions Department would be like this.
Yin Ming saw Yu Qing Qian with her head lowered, looking at the herbs in detail, and he also calmed down and began to observe each herb in detail, remembering them in his heart.
In the evening, the only people left in the medicinal field were Yu Qing Qian and Yin Ming.
As the sun set, Yu Qing Qian stretched her limbs, then asked Yin Ming: “I’m going to the Plant Inscription Department, are you going to return or continue?”
“I’ll keep looking.” Yin Ming looked up and smiled.
He was born to an ordinary family. His father went out hunting and never returned, and his mother supported the family alone.
After learning that he could become a Spiritual Plant Master, his mother and younger siblings were extremely happy.
Although he was introverted, but he also wanted to work hard to become stronger. After becoming a true Apothecary, he could refine potions and sell them, and take the money home to improve the lives of his family.
“Mm, remember the herbs here, then go to the library to check and compare information on the herbs. I believe you’ll soon memorise the properties and effects of the herbs.” Yu Qing Qian advised.
Yin Ming’s eyes lit up. Why hadn’t he thought of going to the library to look up the information of herbs earlier? He looked at Yu Qing Qian gratefully and said: “Thank you so much! Qing Qian.”
Yu Qing Qian smiled faintly: “In the future, we’ll be companions in the same team, it’ll be good for us all if you become stronger. Good luck, I’ll leave first.”
“Yes!”
After Yu Qing Qian walked out of the Potions Department, she casually went to the cafeteria to eat something, then went to the Plant Inscription Department.
She was a wood-class Variant before and had a natural affinity with plants, plus she liked healing, so when she was a child, she read through all the healing-class medicinal classics collected by her beauty dad.
This also included recognition of medicinal herbs. Seeing her interest, her beauty dad would take her to the mountains to collect herbs, identify them, and taste them.
Hence, she knew most of the herbs in the medicinal field.
She also remembered some of the herbs she didn’t recognise and planned to browse the herbology books in the library tomorrow. She’d be able to familiarise herself with them all eventually.
In the Plant Inscription Department’s forging room, as soon as Yu Qing Qian entered the door, she saw Huo Li Ruo, Mu’rong Qing, and Xie Shu hammering away.
When they saw her enter, they only just turned to greet before continuing.
Yu Qing Qian didn’t say much and walked to her place to prepare.
However, unlike others, she first took out a handful of crystal cores from her pocket and placed them around her feet before picking up the hammer to strike.
