Beauty and the Bodyguard

It is almost an instinct for an alchemist to identify elixirs, but instinct is not the ability to identify all elixirs, but more of the ability to identify elixirs that have been refined after contact.

If it's an unfamiliar elixir, it's difficult to tell what it is just by looking at it and smelling it.

If you can taste it, you may be able to identify the medicinal materials used in the elixir and make some inferences from it.

Can't try the taste...too hard!

If you can't even identify it, let alone infer the efficacy and purpose of the medicine, go back to wash up and sleep, maybe you can dream about something useful!

Shi Tiancai wasn't very sure, but he couldn't show timidity on his face. He nodded with a smile and said, "The questions asked by the Supreme Elder are really interesting and interesting! Then I'll give it a try!"

Lin Yi didn't care, and calmly motioned to Ouyang Aantian to get the elixir quickly.

The proud look in Ouyang Aantian's eyes flashed away, and he took out a jade box and opened it pretending to be casual.

The jade box contained a longan-sized elixir, which was red in color and had a burning aroma rising from it.

This elixir was not refined by Ouyang Aantian, but a precious elixir obtained by chance. Whether it was Wutong Continent or Fengqi Continent, there was almost no such elixir spread.

To be clear, this elixir was not refined on the Star Source Continent at all, but was refined by an alchemist from another continent!

Both the materials and techniques are different from Star Source Continent.

Just by looking at it with their eyes and smelling it with their noses, most alchemists would think it was a fire-attribute elixir.

However it is not!

Ouyang Aotian took this elixir as his title because he wanted to trick Lin Yi.

As for whether Shi Tiancai was cheated along with him, he didn't care!

"Both deans, have you seen it clearly? This is a precious elixir that I got by chance. Please observe it carefully and explain to us what kind of elixir it is and what its use is. There is a time limit of fifteen minutes. Now, start!"

Shi Tiancai did not rush to take action this time, and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yi in a very graceful manner: "Dean Sima, please go first?"

"No, we can do it together. You can't pick it up with your hands anyway."

Lin Yi smiled and waved, inviting Shi Tiancai to watch together.

Shi Tiancai thought so, so the two stood side by side in front of the jade box like friends, carefully observing the elixirs in the jade box.

The elixir exuded a very confusing aroma, and both of them sniffed it carefully.

The process of observation and identification was lackluster, and neither Lin Yi nor Shi Tiancai spent much time.

The observation session ended in about four or five minutes, and then they both fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Shi Tiancai took the lead in asking for pen and paper and started writing answers.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, waited a little longer before picking up his pen and answering quickly.

It is normally very difficult to identify elixirs in this way.

However, the theoretical knowledge in Lin Yi's mind was unparalleled in the world, and with the help of spiritual consciousness to distinguish, the super difficult problem that Ouyang Aantian thought would stump Lin Yi was actually not too difficult.

After Shi Tiancai finished, he felt a little proud, feeling that he would be able to win the game this time.

In the first round, he lost to Lin Yi in both time and final score. The result of the second round is still unknown, but in terms of speed, Shi Tiancai was much faster than Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi also finished his answer, Ouyang Aantian sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Are you two okay? Leave the answers you wrote down for now, state them orally, and finally compare them with the words. Determine the score.”

"Dean Shi has finished first, so how about making a statement first? Seeing that Dean Shi seems very confident, I have great expectations for Dean Shi's answer!"

After Shi Tiancai heard this, he nodded gently and said with a slight smile: "The Supreme Elder Ouyang has praised me, so I'll just throw some light on it and talk about some of my conclusions after identifying it. Maybe it will make you laugh, but don't laugh at me! "

He spoke very humbly, but there was unconcealable pride in his tone. It seemed that Shi Tiancai was indeed very confident in the identification results.

"I have never seen this elixir from the Supreme Elder before. If you just judge it from the appearance, color and smell, it is easy to mistake it for a fire-attribute elixir."

"At the beginning, I also had such a guess! But after careful analysis, I found that this is completely contrary to the facts! If I said that this is a fire-attribute elixir, I really am not qualified to be an alchemy master!"

After hearing Shi Tiancai's answer, Ouyang Aotian smiled and nodded with great satisfaction, seeming to agree with Shi Tiancai's answer.

What Shi Tiancai saw was a difficult point. Even many alchemy masters might be misled by hasty observations in such a short period of time.

Therefore, in terms of single level, Shi Tiancai is indeed better than most new alchemy masters.

Shi Tiancai deserves to be called a genius!

What's more, this guy is still a master of formations, and he is not good at alchemy.

This further shows that Shi Tiancai is extraordinary.

"According to my observation, the actual properties of this elixir are ice properties! And it's extremely ice! In this world, most things must be reversed. For example, after a hundred steel smelting, it will become soft, but it will be even more difficult to destroy. !”

"This elixir is based on this principle. When it is extremely cold, it looks like it has fire properties. The Supreme Elder does not allow us to touch or try it. I am afraid it is also because of this, right?"

No matter how much it looks like fire on the outside, it is definitely still extremely icy on the inside, so once you touch and taste it, you will find the problem.

Only simple observation and smell can be the most misleading.

"Dean Shi is indeed amazing. He correctly stated the properties of this elixir! From this point alone, we can get a three-point rating!"

Ouyang Aantian did not hesitate to praise, nodded appreciatively, and then continued to look at Shi Tiancai with expectant eyes: "The next step is the efficacy and use of the elixir. I wonder how much Dean Shi can tell? "

Shi Tiancai smiled proudly: "I really can't make an effective judgment just by observing and smelling it. I can only make a few guesses. If there is anything wrong, please correct me!" "

"Elixirs with extreme ice attributes are very rare in Fengqi Continent, but we can basically make inferences from similar elixirs! I think this elixir is mostly used to refine the body, right? Refining the body with extreme ice attributes , either the user has the same extreme ice constitution, or has an extremely inflammatory constitution that needs to be neutralized with extreme ice attributes."

"Except for these two special physiques, pills with extreme ice properties are not suitable for ordinary people to take. They may cause damage to the body. Therefore, this pill is extremely precious in the eyes of those who need it. It is a priceless treasure. In the eyes of people who don’t need it, I’m afraid it’s almost like poison!”

After saying that, Shi Tiancai cupped his hands with a smile and said confidently: "These are some immature inferences of mine, and the Supreme Elder laughed at them!"
