Above the mage!

Chapter 167 General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials
The old master looked at the name on the test paper: "Gao De".

He didn't know Gao De, but he knew the name Gao De.

After all, Gao De's story first spread among the instructors and then among the students.

interesting!
So much fun!

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, sighing in his heart at the name.

Of course, his face remained expressionless.

Although the old wizard is a neutral party, based on common sense, he, like most people, does not think Gao De will compete for the first place in credits.

But now, he has changed his mind.

The fact that he can learn such a simple course so well shows that he is a serious student.

A student of this kind of personality would do something "crazy" like taking sixteen courses at the same time, which must be based on some certainty.

"Young people nowadays!" Thinking of the terrifying number of sixteen courses again, the knowledgeable old wizard still felt that it was too exaggerated.

But part of the truth was already in front of him, and he could only admit that he was old.

Although the other students in the classroom who were answering questions were alarmed by Gaode, who handed in his paper first, they did not think too much about it.

The image of the "General Spells Knowledge" course as a simple lesson is still deeply rooted in people's minds.

Just like in a math test, if someone hands in his paper first, you will think he is awesome, but in a Chinese test, if someone hands in his paper first, you will at most think that this guy writes really fast!
After handing in the paper and leaving the examination room, Gao De did not return to the dormitory, but rushed to another building of the college.

He has to hurry.

The final examination for "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is also scheduled this morning.

Of course, in order to avoid students who choose two courses at the same time being unable to take the assessment of one of the courses, the specific assessment time is staggered with "General Spell Understanding".

Because he handed in his paper early, when Gao De arrived at the examination room for the "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" course, the examination room had not even been opened yet. Students were not allowed to enter the examination room for the time being and were only asked to wait outside the classroom.

Gao De, who had nothing to do, simply closed his eyes and concentrated, recalling the compound rune diagram in his mind to pass the time.

Once you have something to do, time flies.

When Gao De noticed that the conversations around him were becoming more and more chaotic and opened his eyes, the test time was almost approaching.

Outside the examination room, students who were about to take the test were already standing there.

"General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is also a required branch course of "Potion Science".

After all, if you don’t even know the medicinal herbs, how can you call yourself a potion master?

Therefore, the attendance rate of this course is also not low, and there are also quite a few students taking the assessment.

Gao De came to his senses and noticed that many of the students were looking at him frequently, accompanied by discussions.

Under the attention of a bunch of "spectators" and "gamblers", all sixteen elective courses offered by Gaode have already been exposed.

Therefore, most people also know that in these two days, Gaode will have final examinations for three courses.

Excluding the trivial course "General Knowledge of Magical Spells", the assessment of "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is undoubtedly the first test to examine Gaode's level.

These students who are looking forward to a good show are full of curiosity about what achievements Gaode can make.

Now that the real owner is in person, it is not surprising that there is more attention and discussion.

While the students were having a heated discussion, the examination room was finally opened and the students were allowed to enter.

The final examination for “General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials” is also an indoor examination.

However, the specific assessment format is very different from "General Spell Knowledge".

There were dozens of bluestone tables in the spacious room, and on each of them was a sealed box.

As soon as they entered the "examination room", the students who had been discussing enthusiastically just now quieted down and their expressions became serious.

The atmosphere seemed a little depressing and anxious.

Because the failure rate of "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is actually quite high, everyone is more or less nervous and uneasy.

According to the seating arrangement, Gao De came to the bluestone platform assigned to him and sat down.

Similarly, the staff will first check the student’s identity badge. After that, the supervising instructor in charge of the assessment will officially announce the start of the assessment.

Following a clear ringing sound, a hazy light shield slowly rose around the bluestone platform.

The light shield formed an inverted bowl shape, enveloping the bluestone platform and the examinees in front of it.

As the light shield descended, Gao De found that his vision was confined to the bluestone platform and he could not see the outside world at all.

Anti-cheating measures? Gaode asked secretly.

"Everyone, open the boxes in front of you. Please note that you are not allowed to make any noise during the assessment, and you are not allowed to exchange herbs or check other people's answers." At this time, the supervisor's voice with an unquestionable majesty came from the outside world. Gao De calmly tore off the seal on the box and opened it.

A medicinal fragrance mixed with the unique flavors of various medicinal herbs already wafts to the face.

There are many medicinal herbs placed in the box, each of which has a corresponding number, and each herb is a carefully selected sample.

In addition, there is a sheepskin scroll next to it.

Gao De picked up the scroll and opened it.

The above is the test question.

Question 1: "Please describe in detail the name of herbal medicine No. , its most common origin and geographical features, its medicinal part, its medicinal properties, and its common directions."

Gao De took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the medicinal material numbered 1 in the medicine box.

This is a unique herb with long, slender leaves and serrated edges.

The stem is covered with fine hairs, and small lavender flowers bloom at the top, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Medicinal material No. 1." Gao De recited silently in his mind. Information about it popped up naturally without him having to recall it deliberately.

Gaode picked up his pen and wrote his answer below the question.

"'Purple velvet' is produced in large quantities on the southern foothills of the Estrella Mountains. The climate there is humid, the sunshine hours are long, and the soil is rich in vital substances. It is an ideal place for purple velvet to grow."

"The roots of purple velvet are rich in a variety of active ingredients and are often used to make medicines that promote wound healing..."

"In addition, purple velvet can enhance the stability and effectiveness of potions, and is often used as an auxiliary medicinal ingredient in the preparation of unstable potions."

Question 2: "Please analyze and compare the similarities and differences between medicinal materials No. 3 and No. ."

Gao De quickly adjusted his thoughts and turned his attention to the herbs numbered 2 and 3 in the medicine box.

Medicinal material No. 2 is a seemingly ordinary herb with broad, dark green leaves covered with a layer of fine dew. It exudes a faint herbal fragrance, and its roots appear thick and powerful.

At first glance, the appearance of medicinal material No. 3 is almost the same as that of medicinal material No. 2.

But Gao De picked up both herbs and put them next to his nose and sniffed them. He could faintly smell a slightly bitter fragrance from herb No. 3.

Suddenly, he had a preliminary judgment in his mind.

He picked up the pen again and began to write the answer on the parchment: "Medicinal Herb No. 2, 'Ivy', is known for its tenacious vitality.

Its vines are rich in magical power and have mild medicinal properties. They have the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, relieving fatigue, and are often used as an auxiliary medicinal material to enhance physical strength.

The roots of ivy are considered an important ingredient in making life-restoring potions because of their strong vitality."

“Although the appearance of herb No. 3 is the same as that of ivy, the slightly bitter fragrance it exudes is unique to “bitter ivy”.

In addition to the taste, the edges of the leaves of bitter vine often have fine serrations, which is not found in evergreen ivy. Bitter vine is moderately toxic. If it is mistakenly used as evergreen ivy, it can cause. "

Question 4: "Please describe and explain the special growing conditions of herb No. and its effect on its medicinal properties"

Question 5: "For herb No. , please explain the importance of its picking season, and explain the changes in the medicinal properties of the herb collected in different seasons, and how these changes affect its effect in potion preparation."

Question 6: "Please list and compare three medicinal materials that are similar to but different from medicinal material No. in terms of medicinal properties, and analyze their respective characteristics, medicinal advantages, and possible alternative uses."

There are 20 questions in total, each worth five points.

The breadth and depth of the knowledge points covered in the questions are enough to give most students a headache.

However, as long as the test is biased towards theoretical knowledge, it will not be a problem for Gao De who has "studied" with the help of [Divine Guidance +].

In terms of complete theoretical knowledge, no student can compare with Amap in this course.

So when going through these twenty questions, Gaode did not get stuck on any of them, and the time spent on each question did not exceed three minutes.

About fifty minutes later, Gao De packed up his things, stood up, left the light shield, and handed in the paper early again.

As soon as he left the light shield, Gao De discovered that although he could not see the outside from the inside, he could have a clear view of the scene inside the light shield from the outside.

Gao De glanced over and saw that the students in the light shields were either frowning or writing furiously. Some students were holding medicinal herbs with their eyes wide open, as if they could see something.
All kinds of people in the examination room.

Gao De handed in the paper silently and left leisurely.

At this point, another benefit of the photomask is revealed.

Its effect of blocking sight is that all students can only focus on themselves and cannot know the answers of other students in the examination room.

In this way, their mentality will not be affected by the outside world.

Students should have this experience:
During an exam, when you feel that the questions are too difficult and are scratching your head, someone in the same exam room hands in their paper early. The psychological pressure this brings can sometimes be even greater than the questions themselves.
