Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 205: Chapter 119: Everything Else is of Inferior Quality 2 Chapter 205: Chapter 119: Everything Else is of Inferior Quality 2 “Shocking!”

A gasp rose from below the competition stage, while the competitors from the Five Continents on the stage also inhaled a breath of cold air!

Everything is of inferior quality? Is this a joke?

“Everything is of inferior quality? Do you think this is a reading test?” Jiao Fangyi mocked, a winner’s smile on his face that he could hardly conceal.

“Lady, if you can’t appraise medicines, you might as well go home and look after the kids. Why join the Medicinal Appraisal Conference and make a scene!” said a Pharmacist, rising from his seat in anger, sparing no mercy with his words.

“What, at the Medicinal Appraisal Conference, are we not allowed to speak the truth?” Gu Changsheng, unaffected and calm as ever, didn’t change his expression or skip a beat under the scrutiny.

At some point, an elder at the edge of the judges’ seat opened a slit in his murky, old eyes and looked over.

“Stop spouting nonsense! Who’s stopping anyone from telling the truth? Have you ever appraised medicines like this? Do you even understand medicines?” the Pharmacist’s face turned red with anger, “The ancients did not lie to me, indeed only women and vile characters are difficult to raise!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Changsheng became displeased, casting a cold glance, his voice clear and cold, “Appraise the medicine for what it is. Discuss the medicine on its own merits. Why stoop to personal attacks?”

Damn it, the medicine in this era truly can’t be considered superior! This shows just how poor the Medicine Processing Technique is, it’s so bad, people are deluding themselves into not allowing anyone to speak the truth!

“Well said, speaking only about the medicine, then do speak up! You don’t even know how to appraise medicines—looking, smelling, tasting, trying, when have you ever seriously appraised? Just spouting nonsense!”

The Pharmacist’s words won the approval of a judge, and they started nodding in agreement.

“Such appraisal is indeed careless!”

“This is the Medicinal Appraisal Conference, how can such a farce be tolerated?”

“…”

With the judges and pharmacists’ whispering, the crowd below became even more noisy.

“Does Lady Changsheng really know how to appraise medicines? This is no joke!”

“Right, if we lose, won’t the cost of our medicines be even higher for the next five years?”

“I don’t think Lady Changsheng is joking. Could those really be inferior quality medicines?”

“That shouldn’t be right. Even Imperial Doctor Hu said they were medium and superior quality medicines. How could there be any inferior ones? Much less all of them being inferior?”

“…”

Amidst the rising and falling debates, the Pharmacist who had stood up earlier waved his hand disdainfully, eyes arrogant, “You no longer need to compete, step down!”

Gu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged, as Hu Yihai and other Liuzhou Physicians all showed signs of panic…

Just as Gu Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk back, an old and hoarse voice came through.

“Wait!” The speaker was the elder who had been resting with closed eyes.

Gu Changsheng turned around, frowning at the elder, “Is there anything else?”

She was disdainful of further competition—it was all so meaningless! This was simply a waste of time better spent sleeping!

“Madam thinks all the medicines on the appraisal stage are of inferior quality?”

Not only those on the stage, all the medicines were not of superior quality, Gu Changsheng thought to herself, raising her hands helplessly, “Indeed, but clearly you don’t think so.”

“Elder Yhan, why bother with this ignorant woman?” The previously arrogant Pharmacist immediately subdued, bowing respectfully and asking.

Elder Yhan glanced at him, neither confirming nor denying, then turned to face Gu Changsheng, “If that is the case, please explain in detail, madam.”

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, observing the pharmacists’ respectful attitude towards Elder Yhan, his status among them clearly extraordinary. With this in mind, it seemed inappropriate for her to refuse outright.

“Lady Changsheng, Lady Changsheng, speak up,” Hu Yihai urged anxiously at her side.

“Lady Changsheng, if you don’t speak up, we’ll be directly eliminated!”

Amidst everyone’s pleas, Gu Changsheng slowly walked back to the appraisal stand and picked up the first medicine, speaking, “This is indeed Panax Pseudoginseng from Wenshan in Yunnan Province. Wenshan is known for producing a large quantity of excellent Panax Pseudoginseng, making Wenshan Pseudoginseng well-known; however, the Panax Pseudoginseng in my hand is without doubt of inferior quality.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd frowned.

Only Elder Yhan remained expressionless, a hint of amusement in his eyes, “Why so?”

“Panax Pseudoginseng is classified into spring seven and winter seven. Spring third-seven refers to the Panax Pseudoginseng harvested after the flower bracts are removed. Harvesting the Panax Pseudoginseng flowers in August prevents the main root from being depleted of its nutritional components. The harvested Panax Pseudoginseng is full and effective in medicine. However, the Panax Pseudoginseng in my hand is large yet flimsy, its epidermis wrinkled after being dried, which undoubtedly characterizes it as winter seven. Therefore, I declare it to be of inferior quality!”
