Chapter 34 Prodigy
call! Whoops!

A jujube wood stick was dancing in Chen Ku's hand with a rustling sound, as if it was going to burst the air.

However, Chen Ku himself knew it clearly.

The reason for this effect is very simple, that is, strong force can make bricks fly, and strong force can make sticks sink!
His own talent for martial arts was not very good, and with only a month left, it was impossible for him to master the Spirit Ape Knocking Mountain Stick.

But since it is a monthly exam, which is related to becoming an apprentice, I certainly cannot hide my knowledge. If not now, when will I show it?

Just like the college entrance examination in the previous life, I have never seen anyone keeping secrets during the college entrance examination, unless you don’t want to go to college!

Naturally, Chen Ku wanted to show his strengths.

"A genius, a hard worker, and... a brute force."

Cao Shouxiong looked at these three people. His eyes first swept over Zhang Erniu who practiced hard every day, and then looked at Che Ping.

What is martial arts? It is like a dish. Two chefs may cook the same dish according to the same menu but the results may be different.

The same is true for martial arts training. The same set of punches and stick techniques can be performed differently by two people, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference.

You have to have feelings in your heart before things can come out of your body.

This situation is the difference between a genius and a fool. For the same thing, a genius can grasp it thoroughly at a glance, understand it, and have his own ideas, while a fool can only follow the steps and work behind closed doors, and his achievements are very limited.

"Sometimes, the thing that is even more unfair than bloodline is a person's talent."

Cao Shouxiong secretly sighed at Zhang Erniu.

Hard work is useful, but it cannot make up for the gap with genius.

Look at Chen Ku again.

"This person had practiced martial arts before entering the hall, so even if his stick skills were not very advanced, he still managed to strike with strength and murderous intent. This is the saying that strength can defeat skill. But I don't know how strong he is."

When the third shopkeeper was examining Chen Ku.

Huang Gun also silently watched Chen Ku, thinking in his heart:

"Dachen Village? Huang Ba? It seems that he dealt with this guy before, but Huang Ba was bitten to death by a dog... It should have nothing to do with him."

However, even in the end, doubts were not completely eliminated.

The first test of 'moves' is over.

All the guys can see that in terms of martial arts skills, there are five outstanding people. How should we choose the top three?
However, Huang Gun did not speak directly. Instead, he waved his hand and had someone bring out bags of herbs. He said, "Everyone who has participated in the previous monthly exams knows that this one is about pharmacology. Although the items are the same, the content is different from the previous ones. Each bag contains 150 kinds of herbs mixed together. Among them are hundreds of herbs, animals, and gold and stone. They are all parts of medicinal materials. Take out a corner to do the test. My disciples of the Medicine King Hall deal with medicine every day. Therefore, everyone must have the ability to 'recognize hundreds of herbs and distinguish thousands of medicines'. The time limit is one hour. Whoever can recognize the most herbs through smelling, distinguishing, observing, and identifying will be the winner. Let's begin!"

Chen Ku heard it and said, "It's getting more and more like an exam. Does that mean the full score is 150?"

With his dog's nose, it would be unreasonable for him not to get full marks!

I saw that all the workers were sitting in the yard, identifying the herbs in the large bag in front of them one by one. No matter they were right or wrong, they had to write down the results on a piece of paper.

Obviously, this is also a hidden requirement for Yaowangtang to recruit people. If one cannot read and cannot even understand the prescription, how can he prescribe medicine for people?

Zhang Erniu had been very confident in the first item, but now he had lost all his confidence. What's more, he was not very good at identifying herbs, let alone cutting a leaf into the size of a fingernail for people to identify.

Che Ping, who had been hiding his incompetence, also frowned.

Looking at most of the guys in the yard, they were also identifying each one carefully. If they got one wrong, they would lose one point. For this item, only the top three were selected, and the opportunity could not be missed by mistakes.

"Third shopkeeper, several masters, please go inside and have a rest and drink some water." A manager stepped forward and said, "This item is the most time-consuming. Every time, it takes a full hour before the guys reluctantly hand in their papers..."

Cao Shouxiong nodded silently.

"This second item is quite difficult." Having climbed up from the bottom, he had of course experienced this stage himself.

"I remember that the third shopkeeper's best result in one hour was recognizing 145 kinds of herbs. In those years, no new apprentice could surpass the third shopkeeper's talent."

Cao Shouxiong couldn't help but smile.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's just my past achievements. I haven't made medicine myself for many years. Let's go, have a cup of tea, take a rest, and wait for the results..."

Having said that, he was indeed proud of his achievements that year.

Just when Cao Shouxiong was about to leave.

But suddenly he discovered that Qu Hua, the pharmacist of Baicaotang, was standing there in a daze, staring in one direction without moving.

"Master Qu? Are you looking at..."

Cao Shouxiong turned around and wanted to ask curiously, but when he followed Qu Hua's gaze, he also exclaimed in surprise:
"what!"

At this moment, all the important figures of Yaowang Hall present at the scene looked at the young man in front of the table.

He grabbed a handful of herbal fragments, looked at them, smelled them, and then casually wrote down the answer on the paper next to him. It seemed like he didn't even have to think about it...

Both hands moved at the same time, and the same medicine names were written on the paper one after another, smoothly and without hesitation, as if... writing randomly!
"This kid..." Just when Cao Shouxiong frowned.

suddenly.

blah blah blah!

Chen Ku put down his pen, stood up, and quietly walked to Qu Hua, the master of Baicaoyuan who was in charge of supervision, and bowed slightly: "Master Qu, I have finished answering."

Qu Hua looked at Chen Ku in surprise and doubt, then looked at the answer sheet in his hand with suspicion.

It doesn’t matter if you look at it, the more you look at it… the more interesting his expression becomes.

Seeing this, Cao Shouxiong slowly walked over and asked, "Let me take a look."

As he said that, he took the paper from Qu Hua and looked at it. The handwriting was a little difficult to read, but it was indeed the name of the medicine. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qu Hua: "What? Did he write it randomly?"

"No..." Qu Hua murmured and shook his head: "It's all right."

Cao Shouxiong's face was moved: "It's only been a short time, just a cup of tea, and you got them all right? One hundred and fifty kinds of medicine? All right?"

After saying that, he first looked at Chen Ku coldly.

Then, he looked at Qu Hua suspiciously.

Qu Hua exhaled. He knew what the Third Shopkeeper was thinking, so he couldn't help but say, "Third Shopkeeper, I know what you are thinking, but I just asked this question today. I have nothing to do with this kid. Besides, how can cheating be so obvious?"

"Then?" Cao Shouxiong asked subconsciously: "How to explain it?"

"There is only one explanation. He is from the pharmaceutical industry..."

Qu Hua murmured four words:

"A gifted genius!"

After all,

He looked at Chen Ku with fiery eyes and said:

"Third shopkeeper, let this kid go to my Baicao Courtyard as an apprentice. I want to train him myself. No one can snatch him from me!"
