Chapter 537: Answer Sheet No. 66
The judges at the Highest Staircase Square were nervously reviewing each and every answer sheet, while the Pill Masters at the third-tier square were anxiously waiting.
Jing Yan, Qiu Fang, and another female Pill Master representing Youhai Commerce were all gathered together, discussing the just-finished second challenge of Identifying Pills, and comparing answers to each question.
For the first four questions, the three of them had identical answers. By the fifth question, some discrepancies appeared. The answers from Qiu Fang and Jing Yan were exactly the same, while the female Pill Master had some minor errors, but it was not serious—she should receive nine points.
However, by the sixth question, the differences became even greater. After asking for Jing Yan’s answers, both Qiu Fang and the female Pill Master looked rather unhappy.
After comparing the answers to the seventh question, Qiu Fang and the female Pill Master stopped talking and didn’t feel like comparing the last three questions anymore—they lacked confidence. Moreover, for the last three questions, they had simply written anything down.
The judge reviewing the first question worked quickly, going through seven or eight answer sheets in a moment.
"Number sixty-six?"
"Let me see!"
"Hmm, not bad, the answer has no issues, ten points!" After carefully inspecting Jing Yan’s answer sheet, the judge nodded and directly gave out a perfect score.
He was reviewing the first question, so basically, they were all ten-point scores. Pill Masters participating in the second assessment were unlikely to get even the first question wrong.
The judges for the second, third, and fourth questions were all in a similar situation, with almost every answer sheet getting a full score of ten points. The review was simple, as long as you could name the Elixir and write out all the ingredients used in its refinement, you’d get full marks.
If there were minor errors in the listed ingredients, points would be deducted accordingly: one point off for each incorrect ingredient, up to a maximum of six points off. However, simply naming the Elixir correctly would already earn four points.
