"Shopkeeper, isn't this round of the competition very simple?"

"That's right, I think so too. Who wouldn't know how to look for medicinal herbs?"

"That's right, but the key point is still to determine the speed. From what the shopkeeper had said just now, there are only three portions of this medicinal herb. Whoever finds it first will be the winner!"

After the shopkeeper explained the contents and requirements of the fourth round of the competition, many people quickly expressed that this round was much simpler than the previous rounds of competition and it was also very easy.

However, Liu Xinyue had the exact opposite thought to these people.

"Mistress, is this round really that simple?"

In fact, Ya Er had the same thoughts as these people in the beginning, his first reaction was that the fourth round's competition was very simple, but he had deliberately looked at Liu Xinyue's expression, and seeing that his master did not have a relaxed expression, he could not help but ask worriedly.

"It won't be, Ya Er, think about it, which one will be simple in the first three rounds of wan chun tang?"

After Liu Xinyue heard the question, he shook his head and replied, "Maybe the second round will be a little easier than the other two rounds, but if you're not careful, there will still be mistakes."

For example, when Chong Zhicheng was treating that patient, if she did not remind him, he probably would not have been able to successfully treat her.

"Listening to Master's words, it seems to be true."

After listening to Liu Xinyue's words, Ya Er carefully thought back to it. Indeed, the previous three rounds were not all that simple, and what was hard to come by was indeed very difficult.

So, according to what you're saying, the fourth round of the competition looks simple, but isn't it?

"Then Mistress, what are the difficulties in the fourth round of the competition?"

However, even though he had such an understanding, Ya Er did not know how difficult the fourth round would be.

"Actually, in the fourth round of the competition, the first place to be compared is the time to find medicinal herbs. This requires not only memorizing the contents of the antidote formula of the three poisons, but also making no mistakes."

"The second place, is where I need to familiarize myself with the medicinal herbs for the antidote. I also need to know what those medicinal herbs look like, how they smell, and so on."

"Finally, since this basket is so large, the ingredients will not be all on the surface that easily. Therefore, the herbs in this basket still need to be considered before being able to be found and distinguished."

After saying all these points, Liu Xinyue wanted Ya Er to continue, "Of course, this is only what you need to know on the surface. As for the other points, they will depend on whether or not you have met him during the competition."

"So that's how it is. My master is really amazing, to be able to see through so many in one go!"

After Ya Er finished listening to Liu Xinyue's analysis, he felt incomparable admiration for her. Master was indeed Master;

On the other hand, what about himself? He actually foolishly thought that this round of the competition was very simple. There was still a huge gap between the two of them!

The shopkeeper stood there, smiling silently as he listened to the discussions below.

These people were too naive. Actually, they could tell from the previous round of battles that were more difficult than the previous round. How could the fourth round of competition be easy?

If it really was that simple, then they wouldn't need to specially forge such a large basket to use as an item to transport medicinal ingredients.

"I heard a lot of doctors say that this competition is very simple, so why don't we just start now, so that we don't waste any time."

After a pause, the shopkeeper smiled at the crowd and asked, "May I ask what your intentions are?"

"Alright, let's begin!"

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and start! I can't wait to go on stage!"

After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper immediately heard the urging voices of the doctors below.

"Alright, I shall now announce the official start of the fourth round of the competition."

"The doctors who want to take the stage for the competition, you may come up now."

After announcing the start of the competition, the shopkeeper immediately had someone bring out a table and place it beside a huge basket. On the table was a copper cauldron with an incense stick inserted into it.

"Oh right, I nearly forgot to tell everyone about a request. It is that the fourth round of the competition is not like the previous three rounds. You can watch until the end, but you have a time limit."

When the shopkeeper saw the incense stick of time, he remembered that he had almost forgotten to mention a very important competition request. Thus, he took advantage of the time the doctors were waiting to step up and added, "This fourth round of competition will be completed in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"You can complete it in advance, but if you wait for the time it takes to burn the incense stick to burn before completing it, it will be deemed to be over. In other words, it cannot continue any longer."

"I wonder if the doctors have understood all the requirements of this competition?"

This time, Liu Xinyue did not go up after the other doctors finished their third round of competition. Instead, he stood up at the beginning and walked towards the huge basket with the others.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Liu Xinyue immediately turned to look at the incense, and after estimating the time it took to burn the incense, he quickened his pace.

The other doctors, who were originally in a leisurely state, could not help but speed up their own pace when they saw this.

"Understood, Shopkeeper!"

"Shopkeeper, please think about it carefully. Maybe you missed out on some other request. But don't think of something when you're halfway through the process!"

Some expressed their understanding, while others expressed their dissatisfaction with the shopkeeper's memory.

"All doctors, please be at ease. All the requirements for this competition have been completed. There will no longer be such a situation."

Hearing that, the shopkeeper apologized to everyone, then patted his chest and guaranteed.

Seeing the shopkeeper act this way, all the doctors were relieved and completely put into the competition.

"Aiya, don't push me, I can't even see it!"

"Get out of my way, this is my seat!"

"This door is too small, and there are so many herbs in the basket. How long will it take for us to find them one by one?"

Very soon, the doctors who had come to participate in the competition had arrived beside the huge basket and crowded around the door that was similar to the one they had opened.

Since there were many people and the door was small, the position of the medicinal ingredients within the basket was limited. This created a crowded scene.

At the same time, there were also many people who wanted to seize the opportunity, so they couldn't avoid a conflict.

"Get out of the way, you stepped on my foot!"

"What are you doing? Why did you push me? "Don't think that I'm easy to bully!"

"Everyone move aside. Doctor He is here. Leave a spot for Doctor He!"

Liu Xinyue stood in the middle of the crowd, and because the closest position was already occupied by the doctors, she could only stand at the back and watch.

It was at this moment that she heard this and couldn't help but look over in surprise.

He just saw that He Ming was slowly walking towards him with a group of doctors surrounding him. Wherever he went, the doctors beside him would make way for him, leaving a path for him.

This scene caused Liu Xinyue to be dumbstruck.

How could it be like this?!
