I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Ultimately, two bottles are enough for intermediate certification. He deserved it so readily, but what he really wanted to try was something else: whether making all three bottles would directly qualify him for advanced certification. If he could, that would be best; if not, it wouldn't matter.

Oden didn't stand on ceremony. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan felt a slight wriggling sensation on his left leg, as if something was moving up his left leg and finally condensing and landing on his left hand.

The next moment, Lu Yuan's left hand seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. That force was not domineering, and Lu Yuan could break free at any time if he wanted to.

Clearly, that was an attempt by Oden, using some unknown method, to gradually take over his left hand.

"Are you sure you can control my left hand by yourself without any problems?" Lu Yuan asked again, because precision was one thing, but the strain on Oden himself was another.

"Don't worry, I made a lot of scalding potions back in my day," Oden continued.

"Back then, we worked through the night to prepare this to deal with the strangeness of a certain type of fungus. You can rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems. Even though the formula has been changed now, I can't possibly make a mistake. Besides, I'm only responsible for grinding and processing the herbs for you; you'll have to do the actual brewing yourself. With my current level of consciousness, I can handle this kind of small-scale activity without any issues. I also want to know how long I can last outside, so it's kind of a test."

Lu Yuan instantly understood. Making the potion was one aspect, but on the other hand, Oden also wanted to confirm his current level of consciousness.

"In that case, you must be very careful and make sure you don't hurt yourself. I still have questions for you about the Sea of ​​Knowledge."

"No problem," Oden replied decisively.

Lu Yuan's left hand involuntarily began to swing, clenching into a fist, as if something strange had grown inside him. But this feeling quickly dissipated. Auden also quickly became familiar with Lu Yuan's left hand. Lu Yuan, meanwhile, focused his attention on his right hand.

Lu Yuan planned to make a calming potion first. This was the simplest and quickest potion for him. And most importantly, he only had two vessels available to boil the potion.

The sedative potion needs to be dealt with first, followed by the large fire potion, and finally the bloodlust potion.

Lu Yuan's left hand had already begun to move. With an indescribable speed, it grabbed the pile of fire-elemental medicinal herbs on the table and began grinding them on its own.

Clearly, Oden, having gained control of the body, was not going to waste a single second. Lu Yuan, on the other hand, quickly took out the Silver Grass and began processing it according to the recipe in the booklet.

Extracting the essence of silver grass is actually very simple. Just crush the silver grass with a certain amount of force, making sure it is not completely broken, then put it in clean water and simmer it over low heat to obtain its essence.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan began processing the Tranquilizing Grass and Tranquilizing Flower. There's not much to say about the Tranquilizing Flower; Lu Yuan had already processed it when he first made the potion that could remove trace amounts of contaminants.

Back then, it was just a matter of mixing processed silver grass essence and calming flower extract, which were already readily available. Now, Lu Yuan needs to handle an extra step and do it himself.

The extract of the Tranquil Heart Flower is slightly more complicated than that of the Silver Grass. It is extracted using a cold brewing method, and the grinding process requires careful attention to prevent the liquid from overflowing. Of course, it's not too difficult for Lu Yuan now.

Grayish-white text would occasionally appear before his eyes, and it would pop up slightly as long as Lu Yuan's movements were correct:

[Pharmaceutical Science: +0.1...9.8/50]

This was Lu Yuan's first time making this kind of medicinal material by hand, and as usual, the gray and white text gave him a certain amount of experience points.

A rather bizarre scene unfolded in the cubicle: Lu Yuan's left hand, in an indescribable gesture, kept grabbing the scattered medicinal herbs on the table, grinding the ingredients needed for the Great Flame Potion.

With her right hand holding a mortar and pestle, she ground the calming flower powder, her movements swift and precise, as if she were two separate people.

Meanwhile, Booker, who was standing next to him, finally put the portion of medicinal herbs he needed to process into the pot, and was about to heat it for extraction.

He glanced at the junior student next to him who was new to the intermediate certification exam, wanting to see if the other student was flustered or at a loss.

However, that one glance froze him in place.

How could this be? The scene before him shattered Booker's worldview: Lu Yuan was working with both hands, his left hand grabbing fire-related medicinal herbs and grinding them, while his right hand was constantly grinding Tranquilizing Flower powder with a mortar and pestle. His left hand was especially fast, his movements were simply incomprehensible.

Yes, it's utterly unreasonable!

Booker froze on the spot. How could this be? Didn't he say he was a newcomer? Didn't he say this was his first time here for certification? I definitely haven't seen this face before. He's the new junior! Could it be that his background is related to pharmaceuticals?

Yes, that must be it, that must be it.

Booker forced himself to calm down and looked back at the mortar in front of him, but it was too late. The flames were too high, causing the herbs he had just ground to char slightly.

"Oh no!" Booker couldn't help but let out a wail in his heart. Yes, he couldn't pay attention to him anymore, he absolutely couldn't pay attention to him anymore. He could only blame himself for not concentrating. Booker forced himself to stop, telling himself to turn all his attention back to himself and hurry up and process the second identical batch of herbs.

The unassuming black-haired figure was working with both hands simultaneously, processing two different potions. Judging from the speed at which he grabbed the herbs with his left hand and the types of herbs, it was clearly a Great Flame Potion.

The Great Flame Potion is one of the most difficult potions to obtain in the intermediate certification. It should have appeared in the advanced certification arena. When it was drawn into the intermediate arena, it was not intended for anyone to complete it, because it is a potion that only advanced certification requires to make. Putting it into the intermediate arena was purely to make things difficult for people.

Because pharmaceutical science involves other similar disciplines, it considers not only an individual's skills but also a crucial element: luck. Luck is unpredictable, but it certainly exists. Those with good luck have a 20-30% higher success rate in pharmaceutical manufacturing than those with bad luck—that's just how it is.
