The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 227 Pharmaceutical Competition Begins

The atmosphere in the palace was tense again, as if there was an invisible net that tightly enveloped everyone. After the last round of difficult disease challenges, Lin Ruoxue successfully diagnosed the cause of the disease. That scene was like a bright star that illuminated the hope in the hearts of the people of Nanyue. However, the Dali envoy was not willing to fail. His eyes flashed with unwillingness and stubbornness, and then he proposed a pharmaceutical competition.

The Dali envoy stood in the center of the palace with his head held high. He held a rare medicinal material in his hand. The medicinal material had a strange shape, like a winding little snake, and its color was as bright as a burning flame, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. The envoy raised his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of provocation: "Miss Lin, this is a precious medicinal material unique to my Dali Kingdom, and it is rare in the world. Now let's compete to see who can use this medicinal material to make a special medicine within the specified time." His words were full of confidence and arrogance, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Lin Ruoxue looked at the herbs in the messenger's hand, and her heart sank slightly. The unfamiliar herbs were like a huge mystery in front of her. She had never seen such herbs before, and she didn't know what their medicinal properties were, let alone how to make special medicine. But she couldn't back down. She raised her chin slightly and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Okay, I accept the challenge." Her voice was crisp and powerful, like a beating war drum, full of determination and courage.

The King of Nanyue sat on the throne with a solemn look. He stared at Lin Ruoxue and the Dali envoy, his heart full of worry. He knew the difficulty of this competition and was worried about whether Lin Ruoxue could cope with it. The King prayed in his heart: "Lin Ruoxue, you must do your best for the honor of Nanyue." His hands were clasped together tightly, showing his inner tension.

The ministers also looked at Lin Ruoxue nervously, their hearts full of worry. Minister A whispered: "This medicinal material is so unfamiliar, can Miss Lin do it?" His eyes were full of doubt, as if he was watching a battle that was doomed to fail. Minister B shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, this competition is probably not going to end well." His words were full of helplessness and pessimism, as if he was facing an unbridgeable gap.

Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew that at this critical moment, any panic could lead to failure. She carefully observed the herbs, trying to find some clues from their appearance and smell. She thought to herself: "Although I don't know the specific medicinal properties of this herb, I can judge it through some basic methods. For example, observe its color and shape, smell its smell, and feel its texture." Her eyes were full of concentration and thought, as if she was exploring an unknown world.

The Dali Kingdom envoy sneered in his heart as he looked at Lin Ruoxue's focused expression. He felt that Lin Ruoxue would definitely not succeed this time, and he couldn't wait to see the failure of the Nanyue Kingdom. He was secretly proud in his heart: "Humph, this woman will definitely lose miserably this time. How can she easily crack the medicinal materials of my Dali Kingdom?"

Time passed by, and the medicine making competition officially began. Lin Ruoxue picked up the medicinal material and studied it carefully. She gently touched the surface of the medicinal material, feeling its texture and quality. The surface of the medicinal material was a little rough, as if it had been tempered by years. She moved closer to the medicinal material and smelled its scent. The smell was a little pungent, which made her frown slightly. She silently analyzed in her heart: "This smell is so special, it must have its unique medicinal properties. But what is it?"

Lin Ruoxue kept thinking about various possible methods of making medicine. She recalled the medical knowledge she had learned and tried to find a method suitable for making this kind of medicine. But she knew that time was running out and she had to make a decision as soon as possible. Her brain was like a high-speed machine, quickly screening various options.

At this tense moment, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to freeze. Everyone was paying attention to Lin Ruoxue, expecting her to create a miracle. Lin Ruoxue also knew the heavy responsibility she shouldered. She had to go all out to win this competition for Nanyue. Her eyes were full of determination and resolution, as if she was announcing her indomitable spirit to the world.
