Chapter 893: Myriad of Masters
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Ye Mo saw that the judges had started looking at the jade slips . There were thousands of them, but it wasn't a huge workload for them .
Most contestants were discussing the questions at the waiting area .
Mu Yiqing squeezed through the crowd to get to Ye Mo and said, "Martial Brother Ye, how many did you recognize? I only recognized five . "
Ye Mo heard this and knew Mu Yiqing had been disqualified for sure . Five herbs and not even an recipe - there was no way Mu Yiqing was going to pass .
"You recognized five of them! I only recognized three," another contestant said with dejection .
"Yes, these herbs are too hard . We rarely get to see them at all . I've only recognized six," someone else said, but he was clearly satisfied with his result .
Ye Mo nodded . Six herbs were enough to form a simple recipe, but he was soon caught up in the conversation of others and eavesdropped .
"Martial Brother Cai, what were those spirit herbs? They were really uncommon," a beautiful woman in her thirties asked a man, who also didn't look very old . She looked very fond of him .
All the contestants around them stopped talking and formed a circle around the Martial Brother Cai, waiting to hear his answer .
Ye Mo studied this Martial Brother Cai . He didn't seem very old, but he was already at false core state . He was probably in his 40s to 50s, despite looking like he was in his 30s .
Seeing Ye Mo study this guy, Mu Yiqing said quietly, "He's Cai Sheng, the core disciple of the Heaven Pill Sect . He's only 49 . He's a famous pill concoction genius in the North Far State . He even ranked tenth on the pill concoction hall of fame!"
No wonder he was so popular! Ye Mo also wanted to hear how many herbs the guy had recognized .
Martial Brother Cai seemed very polite . He smiled and saluted with his fist, "This year's questions are a bit hard indeed . All the herbs on there were uncommon . To be honest, I don't think these questions can reflect a pill master's abilities . Some people are very good at pill concoction, but they weren't able to recognize these rare herbs . "
This immediately was confirmed by everyone . Some people were very good at pill concoction, but they didn't know many uncommon herbs . The test's questions weren't very good indeed . Ye Mo thought that guy was quite smart . His words had resonated with everyone . He got on everyone's good side without doing anything .
When the voices quietened down, Cai Sheng continued, "But we also need to be understanding with the Pill Association . There are too many contestants this time . A question like this is simple and can reach their goals in the shortest time . So those friends who have real skills don't need to mind it too much . You just need to know yourself that you're truly skilled . "
There was another round of applause from the people around him . Clearly, they all agreed .
Ye Mo realized the guy first had spoken for the contestants, and then spoken for the pill association's sake - he really knew how to react .
"Cai Sheng, stop saying good things! You've ended up saying good things for both sides . Now, we want to hear the answer to the question . You don't need to comfort us and then comfort the pill association!" a man said impolitely . Clearly, he didn't like the way Cai Sheng had spoken .
Cai Sheng wasn't angry at all . Instead, he smiled and said, "You're right friend . I was lucky enough to have read a book left behind by an Qianbei . Thus, I was able to recognize ten herbs . "
Ye Mo heard this and his heart sunk . Cai Sheng had recognized ten! He was so good . Yet, this guy had only ranked tenth in the pill concoction hall of fame . It seemed like it would be really hard for him to get into the top ten while conserving his real strength . Ye Mo just hoped that the next question didn't have content from Things on it .
Cai Sheng clearly hadn't read Things, but he could recognize ten herbs, which meant that there were really a lot of capable people in the cultivation realm . Of course, Ye Mo would never believe that Cai Sheng had just read some book left behind by a Qianbei . He didn't understand how the Heaven Pill Sect worked, but it was probably not a simple sect .
