Yang Chan was at the Medicine Hall's examination area, conducting an assessment for Official Disciples who wanted to become his Pharmacist's Assistant. Four people were participating this time, and their quality was a significant improvement over the last batch. It was clear they had all prepared extensively, unlike the previous group who had come in a rush.
Because of what happened last time, Yang Chan planned to lower the requirements a bit for this assessment.
While the knowledge of the 1,253 commonly used herbs was non-negotiable, he planned to lower the standard for all other related knowledge—pharmacology, judging medicinal properties, analyzing efficacy, determining age, and identifying herb classifications—to a fifth of the level required when he himself had taken the assessment.
