Chapter 356: There Must Be A Problem Here
When he finished speaking, the middle-aged man signaled everyone to come forward.
Zhao Shenkong was the first to stand up and walk up. He didn’t rush to pick up the pill but instead bowed to the middle-aged man.
Afterward, Zhao Shenkong began to inspect the grey pill.
Soon, Zhao Shenkong’s face showed a hint of thought, and then he put down the pill, appearing confident as he returned to his place.
Guo Zhen got up, expressionless, walked forward, picked up the pill directly to look at it, and even sniffed it by his nose.
One by one, people came forward to examine the grey pill. Some, like Zhao Shenkong and Guo Zhen, spent less time, while others spent more time inspecting the pill.
Su Xiaotong came forward, touched the pill in her hand and then put it down, not doing anything more. Her time was the shortest.
This surprised many people, as the more time spent observing the pill, the more accurate the judgment should be.
Su Xiaotong only touched the pill once, so how much information about the pill could she obtain?
However, no one thought that Su Xiaotong was overbearing, on the contrary, they thought it was only natural. As a genius like her, she should be different from the others.
Another person also drew particular attention.
That was Fang Lin.
Fang Lin walked to the front, glanced at the grey pill, his nose twitched slightly, then he returned to his place.
This scene made the middle-aged man frown slightly, and the others were also very surprised and taken aback.
Just as Fang Lin was about to return, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but speak: “Are you sure you don’t want to look more?”
Fang Lin bowed slightly: “That’s enough.”
Having said that, he returned directly to the Qian Country party.
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly. In his opinion, Fang Lin didn’t even touch the pill, just giving it a look, what could he possibly see?
He had seen arrogant people, but never someone as arrogant as him.
The middle-aged man had a very bad first impression of Fang Lin – the most intuitive judgment was that Fang Lin was too arrogant.
How can you know even the most basic composition of a pill without even touching it?
Even an experienced old pill refiner would have difficulty understanding everything about a pill just by looking at it.
How old are you, Fang Lin? Not even twenty, but so boastful and arrogant – it was really hard for others to accept.
“Old Man Su, this Fang Lin is young, but he is crazily arrogant. Even I can’t identify the composition of a pill with one glance.” An old man with the surname Yan said mockingly.
Old Man Su sneered: “It’s because you, Baldhead Yan, can’t do it. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.”
Old man Yan’s face turned angry: “Wait until this Fang Lin makes a fool of himself, and then you, Old Man Su, won’t be able to say these words.”
Old Woman Gu coldly said: “Even if Fang Lin is crazier, he’s not as extravagant as your Yun Country’s Zhao Shenkong. This child, although talented, the taller a tree, the stronger the wind. Be careful that he dies young because he is too dazzling.”
These words made Old Man Yan’s face even uglier, and he glared at Old Woman Gu.
“If you dare to play any tricks, I will make your Meng Country have to bury thousands of people along with us!” Old Man Yan said unkindly.
Old Woman Gu gave a cold chuckle and didn’t speak, but the atmosphere between the two became a little heavy.
At this moment, the pill refiners from the three countries had all begun to write their pill formulas. However, each person was not allowed to interact with others or look at others’ pill formulas. They could only write their own.
An hour later, everyone had written their formulas and handed them over to the middle-aged man.
“Wait!” Fang Lin was the last one to hand in.
The middle-aged man gave Fang Lin an unsatisfied look, but as soon as he saw what Fang Lin had handed in, he was stunned.
Everyone else had just handed in one piece of paper, with some pieces not even fully written on, but Fang Lin had filled three large sheets.
Looking a bit surprised, the middle-aged man said, “You wrote three sheets?”
Fang Lin nodded and said seriously, “Aren’t we supposed to write the pill formula?”
Looking a bit dumbfounded, the middle-aged man asked, “But how did you write three sheets?”
Fang Lin blinked, “Am I not allowed to write three sheets?”
At a loss for words, the middle-aged man nodded. Three sheets then, he wanted to see what this kid could write with three sheets.
Immediately, the middle-aged man took the pill formulas and, along with the other two Pill Alliance stewards, began to quickly review them.
During this process, the pill refiners around were all discussing who’s pill formula would be the most detailed.
Of course, most people believed that Zhao Shenkong, Guo Zhen, and Su Xiaotong would write the most comprehensive pill formulas.
“Fang Lin, I see you wrote three sheets, what did you write?” Li Jianlong, sitting next to him, asked Fang Lin.
When others heard this, they all turned around in amazement to look at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin rubbed his nose and said, “Why are you all looking at me? Is it strange to write three sheets?”
Li Jianlong laughed, “A simple Fire-suppressing Pill, half a sheet is enough to write down its formula, why do you need three sheets?”
Fang Lin pursed his lips, “It’s my wish, what does it have to do with you?”
Li Jianlong laughed, and the others all showed strange expressions.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was reading Fang Lin’s three sheets of paper, and his eyes were full of shock.
“What’s the matter?” The other two walked over when they saw this.
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything but handed them the three sheets of paper to look at.
Upon seeing it, both men were also stunned.
“How is this possible?” The two almost spoke at the same time, looking at each other in surprise, both witnessing the shock in each other’s eyes.
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile. “I also think it’s impossible, but this is indeed the truth.”
The two were silent for a long time before one of them said, “Perhaps we should let City Lord Zhuge and the others take a look.”
“Right!” The other agreed.
Immediately, the middle-aged man nodded, took the three sheets of paper, and went to see Zhuge Cang.
After reading Fang Lin’s pill formula, Zhuge Cang was also greatly surprised and quietly passed the papers to Chen Mu and Lu Wuwei standing next to him.
After reading, Lu Wuwei began to exclaim, “Old Man Su, your Qian Country’s Fang Lin is amazing!”
Old Man Su looked confused. What had happened? Why was Fang Lin suddenly so amazing?
Zhuge Cang laughed. “You three should come and take a look at this.”
Old Man Su, Old Man Yan, and Old Woman Gu all gathered around. Zhuge Cang handed the three sheets of paper to them.
After a while, Old Man Su’s face showed a look of joy, and he was smiling. Old Man Yan and Old Woman Gu, however, looked surprised.
“There must be a problem with this!” Old Man Yan shouted.
