Chapter 528: Very Difficult
"This thought could only be fleeting, as Pill Spirit City would absolutely not allow these precious Spirit Grasses to be taken at will."
"Among the Spirit Grasses, some are exceedingly valuable, so much so that even within Pill Country, there are likely not many of them. Take, for example, the Nine Purple Dragon Soul Grass—one plant is worth at least ten million Spirit Stones. Moreover, such rare Spirit Grasses are sometimes impossible to buy, no matter how many Spirit Stones you offer."
"At the Highest Staircase Square."
"Master! Is the difficulty of the medicine identification in the first round of this Alchemy Competition a bit high?" a grey-robed elder turned and said to Hu Donghe.
This grey-robed elder was a disciple of Hu Donghe, and he also served as one of the judges for this Alchemy Competition.
This Alchemy Competition had ten judges, four of whom were disciples of Hu Donghe alone. The other six included well-known Pill Masters from Pill Country and others who had achieved remarkable accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao from Alchemy Dao families.
These ten people formed the panel of judges for this Alchemy Competition.
"This first round of Medicine Identification is indeed difficult, much more challenging than the last competition," another judge also said with a frown.
"Yes, but it’s difficult for everyone, so it’s fair for the Pill Masters participating in the Alchemy Competition," another judge slowly added.
"Hahaha..." Hu Donghe’s ruddy cheeks revealed a smile, "What you all said is correct, the difficulty of this Alchemy Competition is far greater than the last. However, it doesn’t have too much impact on the Pill Masters participating. In this Alchemy Competition, a total of one thousand two hundred thirty-eight people are participating, and in the first round, we will only select four hundred to advance. No matter how many kinds of Spirit Grass the Pill Masters can identify, as long as their ranking enters the top four hundred, they can pass this round smoothly and advance."
