For example, some herbs were not poisonous at all when they were taken alone. They could even strengthen the physical fitness of the user.
However, if some herbs were taken together, they would immediately have an extremely violent reaction and turn into poison.
For example, there were herbs that could enhance the effects of other poisons.
There were also some herbs that specialized in curing one type of poison.
This was to test the medicinal properties of an alchemist.
In fact, this was one of the most difficult parts of being an alchemist. To be able to become a grandmaster-level alchemist, one’s pharmacology would not be bad.
Generally, those below Grandmaster were unable to break through to the level of Alchemy Grandmaster. Most of the time, it was because they did not understand the medicinal principles.
This kind of thing was not something that could be mastered by memorizing.
After all, for cultivators, memory was something that they could not forget at all.
The main thing was to be able to comprehend the profound meaning within. This was the most difficult part.
To reach this level, one must have astonishing comprehension abilities.
It could be said that the previous entrance examination was very simple, leaving many people with face. The difficulty of the first round of the examination directly rose by several levels.
The method of the assessment was also very simple. In front of every contestant was a variety of spirit herbs.
Those spirit medicines were basically all at the second or third tier.
The participants were required to consume all these spirit herbs themselves. As long as there were no problems with their bodies after consuming all of them, they would pass the assessment.
It sounded simple, but it was really difficult to do.
He understood the interactions between all these herbs, their mutual restraint, mutual blending, and amplification.
He also needed to comprehend the special resonance between certain spirit herbs on a deeper level.
He Qingge looked at the pile of spirit herbs in front of him and frowned slightly.
Most of the spirit medicines in front of him were at the level of the Golden Core realm.
If He Qingge ate the wrong food, it would cause a chain reaction and turn him into a deadly poison.
If it was an ordinary foundation establishment realm cultivator, they would probably not even have time to react and would be poisoned to death.
Fortunately, He Qingge was not an ordinary person. Without the use of spiritual treasures, his current strength was comparable to the lowest level Jindan sister.
His physique was even more powerful. The Innumerable Calamity Undying True Body was a top-notch body-tempering technique that could use the calamities that were added to his body to strengthen his physique.
He Qingge was not afraid.
Even if he ate a mouthful, he might not be able to send him away.
He Qingge didn’t eat them directly. He started to identify the types, characteristics, and ages of the spiritual herbs one by one.
Even if it was the same spirit herb, the results would be slightly different due to the different time and location of planting.
These subtle differences also needed to be carefully identified, or else they might attract unknown dangers.
This was the difficult part of pharmacology. One needed to completely comprehend a spiritual medicine, including all its characteristics, its growth process, and the effects and effects it achieved at various times.
There were countless spiritual medicines in this world, and there were as many as the hair on an ox.
The spirit herbs recorded in ancient books could change with time, the environment, and so on.
Therefore, the pharmacology recorded in ancient books might not be suitable for the present.
Therefore, there was no way to memorize these things. He Qingge was also carefully identifying each herb..
