Biography

Examining Zhang Xuan as an apothecary

He presides over the examination in which Zhang Xuan challenges accepted pill-forging doctrine and passes through theoretical command rather than a conventional demonstration. Ouyang Cheng verifies the outcome and later appears among the experts trying to understand Zhang Xuan's improbable accomplishments. (Chapters 91–124, 144–176)

Appearance and personality

He is authoritative, procedural, and initially doubtful, but does not suppress a correct result merely because it is unconventional. (Chapters 91–124, 144–176)

Abilities and cultivation

His formal pill knowledge and guild authority let him administer examinations and judge recipes. Zhang Xuan's ability to identify flaws exceeds the framework Ouyang normally uses. (Chapters 91–124, 144–176)

Relationships

Du Man is a fellow senior apothecary. Zhang Xuan is the candidate whose answers force Ouyang Cheng to separate guild convention from actual correctness. (Chapters 91–124, 144–176)
