Chapter 977 - Herbalist (2)

Chapter 977: Herbalist (2)

Why was the requirement set to be below 30 years old?

That was because what a Herbalist needed the most was mental energy. Furthermore, a person’s mental energy would be fixed the moment they turned 30. Even if Shen Yanxiao were to use 17 to 18 potions to improve their mental energy, it would be hard to nurture another genius Herbalist.

Moreover, the learning ability of ordinary people would start declining after they turned 30 years old. Therefore, she had set such a requirement.

This was the first announcement Shen Yanxiao had made since she became the City Lord.

For a moment, everyone in Sun Never Sets moved out. Those who had yet to reach their thirties crowded Uncle Nine to register.

Uncle Nine did some math. In just one day, there were already a thousand applicants, and there were still some more queuing up at the entrance.

The enthusiasm of the citizens exceeded Shen Yanxiao’s expectations. If everyone were to come, there would at least be 1000 to 2000 people. If she were to test them one by one, it would probably take too much time.

Helpless, Shen Yanxiao could only bring out the crystal balls that could detect mental energy. She had spent a high price to purchase these crystal balls from the merchants of the Longxuan Empire, and there were a total of thirty of them. As long as the examinee placed their hands on these crystal balls, they would be able to detect the strength of their mental energy.

After the crystal ball’s screening, there were only a dozen people who met Shen Yanxiao’s requirements.

Come to think of it, the indigenous people here were basically slaves. Those who had been reduced to slaves did not have good strength or physique. Otherwise, they would have been selected to be fighters.

Only five of them were slaves, and the rest were the villagers who had escaped from the Graveyard of the Sun with Uncle Nine.

When Shen Yanxiao saw these villagers, she could not help but be surprised.

Very soon, she understood the reason. Even though they were failed products, there was still some modification in their bodies. Among the races that these people had integrated, there were elves. Other than having talent in archery, another trait of the elves was their grasp in potion making.

These villagers must have the characteristics of elves.

What surprised Shen Yanxiao the most was that Yin Jiuchen was among them.

Their mental energy met the requirements of a Herbalist. But, Shen Yanxiao was not personally teaching them yet. She just directly threw a few books at them and told them to research on their own.

Of course, these herbalism books were all provided by Tang Nazhi out of friendship. Shen Yanxiao had long transcended the content of the books. Only Tang Nazhi was still keeping these books as a remembrance of his past journey as a Herbalist.

These people were rather motivated. And since they were chosen because of their mental energy, they were able to start concocting potions much earlier than usual.

Those people from the Graveyard of the Sun, in particular, could produce some low-level potions on the fifth day. Even though the success rate was low, it was still considered a success.

Shen Yanxiao nurtured her army, her citizens, and Herbalists for the future of Sun Never Sets.

However, looking at the entire Brilliance Continent, probably only Shen Yanxiao was capable of raising the strength of everyone in the city.

Which city lord did not wish for everyone to be a soldier? However, their citizens would probably just throw such notices to the back of their minds and continue on with their lives.

However, it was different in Sun Never Sets. Everyone in Sun Never Sets had a high degree of admiration and trust for Shen Yanxiao. As long as she gave an order, no one would resist, even if they were ordered to throw themselves into a river.
