Master Yao Tong reminded her. “Princess, be careful. The fruit you're holding is a Crimson Sun Fruit. It's highly toxic. A drop of it can immediately kill a Spirit Casting expert.”

“Wow, I'm so afraid. If I touch it, I'll be poisoned to death too! I don't want to die yet…”

Feng Yunying's face turned pale with fear, and she hurriedly threw the red fruit in her hands to the ground.

A drop of liquid could kill a Spirit Casting expert. As a weakling in the spiritual realm, she would die if she even got a spray of it on her skin.

“Don't worry, Princess. As long as you don't break the skin of the Crimson Sun Fruit, you'll be fine.”

A princess of such a small country was really ignorant.

Disdain flashed across Master Yao Tong's eyes, but he continued explaining.

“Thank G.o.d.”

Feng Yunying patted her chest as if she had just escaped death and heaved a sigh of relief.

“In these two baskets of medicinal materials are two types of medicinal materials, each type in a basket. They are the Crimson Sun Fruit and the Crimson Cloud Fruit. The Crimson Sun Fruit is highly toxic, but the Crimson Cloud Fruit can be used to refine Essence Spirit Pills that can detoxify a hundred poisons. These two fruits look very similar, and I will give you some tips on how to distinguish them. Your task is to pick out 10 of these Crimson Cloud Fruits.”

Master Yao Tong faced Su Zhiyu and Jun Mohuang. He picked up a Crimson Sun Fruit and a Crimson Cloud Fruit each and said a few words to differentiate them.

Finally, he said seriously, “The accuracy of selecting these two medicinal materials concerns your lives. I hope the two of you can treat it seriously.”

“Wow, it's so difficult. These two fruits look exactly the same no matter how I look at them!”

“That's right. In any case, I still can't recognize the difference between the two types of fruits after hearing Master Yao Tong's explanation.”

“There must be more than a thousand Crimson Sun Fruits in this basket. Finding 10 of the Crimson Cloud Fruits is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

“Master Yao Tong is impressive to be able to distinguish such a difficult spiritual fruit!”

“Of course. Master Yao Tong is already at the level of a spiritual medicine master. It's naturally a piece of cake to distinguish this kind of fruit.”

Everyone stared intently at the two medicinal materials in Master Yao Tong's hands and sighed.

Upon hearing these people's praises, the contempt in Master Yao Tong's heart increased.

These poor country b.u.mpkins were ignorant!

He was still a Level 9 apothecary and had failed the first stage of breaking through to become a spiritual apothecary. He was still not considered a spiritual apothecary yet.

But on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel proud and smug.

Let him, an apothecary from the Academy Of A Thousand Illusions broaden the horizons of these b.u.mpkins.

“Let's begin.”

Upon hearing that Jun Mohuang and Su Zhiyu were going to compete, the servants had already prepared incense sticks for the time. As soon as Master Yao Tong announced the start, the incense sticks were immediately lit.

Su Zhiyu chose a bamboo basket first and began to pick carefully.

Jun Mohuang walked over slowly and chose the remaining basket of fruits.

She reached out with her slender snow-white fingers and picked up a bright red spiritual fruit. She carefully chose it according to the method Master Yao Tong taught her just now.

Even though Master Yao Tong had explained the method to differentiate the two, it was still difficult to see them with the naked eye.

Her magical skill could sense the effects of the medicinal materials. Choosing 10 Crimson Cloud Fruits from a pile of Crimson Sun Fruits was a piece of cake for her.

Just as she finished forming the seals with her hands in her sleeves, the power of detection slowly flowed from her fingertips. Just as she was about to take the spiritual fruit, she suddenly encountered a barrier.

Since the detection force could not enter the spiritual fruit due to the barrier, it could not detect whether the spiritual fruit was poisonous or not.

Jun Mohuang frowned and increased the output of her senses. However, the results were the same.
