Looking at her now, Zhou Bo found that she was really beautiful, with black hair draped behind her, like a waterfall, her eyes were bright and bright, as if she could speak, she was very good-looking in a blink of an eye, her skin was very fair, as if she could wring out water, and her two Qianqianyu hands were exposed, and if you looked closely, it didn't look like what a pill pharmacist could have, because it was too good-looking, like a perfect work of art.
At this time, Tang Jin was standing alone in the corner, although she was standing there quite quietly, but there were many boys who accosted her, but Tang Jin didn't seem to be very interested, just lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhou Bo just looked at it casually and looked away.
At this time, he walked up to Guo Lao and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"
Guo Lao looked at Zhou Bo like a fool, and finally said, "Don't you want to participate in the medicine refining competition?"
"Yes. ”
"That's amazing!" Guo Lao glanced at Zhou Bo and teased: "If you don't take the Dan Pharmacist level, who will let you participate in the Dan Pharmacist Competition?!"
Zhou Bo understood Guo Lao's intentions, it turned out that he needed to take the level of a pill pharmacist to participate in the medicine refining competition! It seemed that he knew too little about things, thinking of this, he smiled apologetically at Guo Lao.
"There are only these three days in every year to get the rank of Pill Medicine Master, and today is the last day. After speaking, Guo Lao paused for a moment, and then said: "It is actually very simple to obtain a first-level pill pharmacist, after you go in, as long as you successfully refine a first-level pill, and then refine two medicinal herbs." After speaking, he seemed unsure and added: "You have no problem with this, right?"
Zhou Bo smiled and nodded, the first-level pill was still too simple for him, he could now successfully refine the third-level pill Rejuvenation Pill! And for refining two herbs, it was even more simple.
Seeing that Zhou Bo was so confident, Guo Lao was relieved, he was worried that Zhou Bo would not be able to pass the exam, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the open space that was still chaotic suddenly quieted, Zhou Bo hurriedly looked up, and found that a middle-aged man of thirty years old walked out of the brown brick house, only to see that he was wearing a white robe, like the two at the door, with a long beard on his chin, and he had reached the collarbone, in addition to these, he actually looked quite elegant, his eyes were bright, his skin was also very white, he did not look fierce, and there was a Dan card hanging on his neck, but it was blue.
After he looked around the open space, he suddenly said loudly: "All the candidates are starting to enter the venue!" As soon as the voice fell, many candidates on the open space were close to each other, and they all began to rush towards the house, and the voices seemed quite noisy for a while, but what puzzled Zhou Bo was that the room could accommodate a dozen people at most, but how could these nearly two hundred people be accommodated? ?
"Go in by yourself, I'll wait for you here. Guo Lao said to Zhou Bo with a smile, but when he saw Zhou Bo's hesitation, he said, "But that room is so small, how can so many people take the exam?" Zhou Bo originally thought that he was taking the exam outside here, but now he really didn't expect this situation.
Guo Lao smiled and explained: "You don't know this, this house is not a real exam place, it is just an entrance, and the real exam room is underground." ”
"Underground??"
"Well, that's good. Seeing that Zhou Bo was even more surprised, Guo Lao took the trouble to continue to explain: "This is the famous underground examination hall of the Dan Pharmacist in the Gunan Continent, which is divided into five floors in total, which are the five levels of Zi, Fan, Shi, Zong, and Emperor, so you can stop directly on the first floor for a while." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Bo understood that such a large group of people were going to the underground exam! Stepping on the rough and uneven masonry under his feet, Zhou Bo was curious, what would it be like down there?
Because Zhou Bo was standing on the outside, so after the bearded man gave the order just now, many people began to crowd towards the house, and for a while the venue became crowded, and Zhou Bo didn't bother to squeeze with them, so he just stood in place and waited, and after waiting for a while, Zhou Bo found that there were a lot fewer people in the venue, so he said goodbye to Guo Lao and slowly walked into the house.
Seeing Zhou Bo's figure slowly entering the room, Guo Lao's face slowly became heavy, as if he had thought of something serious, and suddenly, he turned around and left here, and many middle-aged people on the field did not notice the departure of a hunchbacked old man.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Bo saw that the furnishings in the house were very simple, only a few chairs were placed randomly in the middle, and in the four corners of the room, there were four stairs that stretched into the ground, Zhou Bo casually found an entrance and walked down.
He found that the staircase was spiral-shaped, and the four staircases were intertwined around each other, and so on they extended downward.
The inside of this staircase was quite bright, and after walking a distance of about fifty meters, and turning about seven or eight times, Zhou Bo finally heard a chaotic sound, and knew that it should be almost there, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace.
Finally, after two more turns, Zhou Bo found that the stairs under his feet had disappeared, and he knew that the first floor of the examination hall had arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Bo raised his head, he saw a big "Zi" character carved on the wall, the brushwork was vigorous, and it looked quite expressive, looking around, there were many people gathered there, and after a rough count, he found that there were more than 100 people, which accounted for more than half of the total number!
At this time, Zhou Bo saw that behind the crowd, a spiral ladder passage appeared out of thin air, and at this time, there was a person standing there guarding, holding a few blank pieces of paper in his hand, with a very serious expression, Zhou Bo knew that the spiral ladder should lead to the examination room of other grades.
In this way, Zhou Bo was mixed in the first layer of the crowd, and he didn't want to be too high-profile, after all, he came here to take the pill master rank just to participate in the pill competition, not to show off his alchemy skills.
He was hidden in a small corner, his eyes swaying randomly, and suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, it was Tang Jin.
At this time, she was standing in the middle of the crowd, and there were still many people rushing to talk to her beside her, those who accosted her were **, both men and women, as if there were endless words, seeing this, Zhou Bo thought that this girl's popularity was really good, otherwise there would not be so many people rushing to talk to her.
I don't know who came, the audience suddenly quieted down, and was divided into two teams in a neat and orderly manner, although Zhou Bo was puzzled, he still hurriedly lined up behind the team of the first-level Dan pharmacist, and roughly counted, more than half of the first-level Dan pharmacists were examined, and the team of the second-level Dan pharmacists was only a dozen people, including that Tang Jin.
"You all give me a little quiet!!" At this time, a loud male voice suddenly sounded, and it was accompanied by a strong spiritual power.
Zhou Bo hurriedly looked, and suddenly walked out of the back of the crowd A middle-aged man in white clothes, he looked very handsome, a little creamy, but judging from his explosive voice just now, this person should still be quite manly, with a yellow Dan card hanging on his neck, which looked quite conspicuous.
As soon as this person appeared, he suppressed the chaotic atmosphere on the field.
After the man walked around, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "My name is Song Zhenting, and I am the chief examiner of your exam today!"
This group of rich boys was suppressed by Song Zhenting's momentum, and they all kept their mouths shut, not daring to say a word, seeing this, Song Zhenting seemed to be very satisfied, and said: "I don't care what your background is, as long as you come to me, you must listen to me." ”
The audience was still as quiet as death, and Zhou Bo was a little puzzled in his heart, because according to the spiritual power exuded by Song Zhenting, he knew that he should be a Yuanying cultivator, and he thought that this pill pharmacist assessment was really quite formal, it was just a sub-level exam, and the chief examiner was a Yuanying master, so what about the grade exam below? ?
In fact, Zhou Bo thought too much, all the examiners here are all Yuanying masters, as for the layer to be assigned to, it is all randomly assigned, not according to cultivation, if it is really divided according to what Zhou Bo thinks, then shouldn't the examiner who examines the emperor-level pill pharmacist be a master of returning to the truth? ?
Just as Zhou Bo was thinking about these questions, he heard Song Zhenting suddenly say, "Now everyone is lined up and follow me!" After speaking, he slowly turned around and walked towards a huge stone wall on the right.
The candidates in the audience didn't know what Song Zhenting was going to do, only to see him go straight to the stone wall, and with a gentle push with one hand, the stone wall suddenly cracked up and down, this scene frightened a few girls who were close, thinking that it was a powerful spell, Zhou Bo hurriedly took a closer look, and found that it was a square stone door with a height of two meters and a width of two meters, and there should be a bearing in the middle that could rotate back and forth, so Song Zhenting walked into the stone door first.
Many candidates are in a hurry to line up, and Zhou Bo because he stood at the back, so of course he stood last, he found that many people were rushing to the front row, and several people quarreled on the spot because of the order of the queue, which made Zhou Bo very puzzling, is there any mystery in this queue?
And he also found a strange phenomenon, that is, the girl named Tang Jin is really popular, many boys are rushing to give her the front row position, but she smiled and refused, just standing in the middle position.
Seeing that the people in the back of the line showed a disappointed and lonely expression, and the people in the middle or in front of the line were very happy, Zhou Bo suddenly felt in his heart that he seemed to have suffered a little bit at the end.
The team has already been arranged, and Zhou Bo doesn't want to complain too much, even if there will be any difficulty in the future, he came here just to get a first-level pill pharmacist, and there should be no problem for objective reasons like these, thinking of this, he straightened his mind and stopped thinking about these things.
At this time, the team had already begun to move forward, and Zhou Bo slowly entered the room with the team.
When Zhou Bo passed through the revolving door, the stone door suddenly slammed shut, Zhou Bo first came here, he was very curious about this place, so he was busy looking at it seriously.
This is a big stone cave, boxy, although it is underground, but the light here is very bright, and there is a feeling of daylight shining on the body, it turns out that the top of the stone cave is inlaid with a lot of lighting crystals, it seems that the light in this room is the credit of the crystal.
Looking forward, it is divided into two areas in total, one is a vacant land with alchemy written on it, and the other is an open space with refining written on it, the two sites are exactly the same, only two or three meters apart, where they are placed in three medicine tripods, the uniform is a red imitation of Chiyan Ding, and there is a half-meter-high stone platform around the medicine tripod, on which are placed all kinds of herbs, which look colorful and beautiful.
"Everyone knows the rules of the game, right?" Song Zhenting, who was standing at the front, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back at this time, and saw that many people answered that they knew, but there were also some people who flashed confused expressions, including Zhou Bo, and he said in a loud voice again: "I'll repeat the exam rules again, listen carefully to me!"
Zhou Bo hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"The competition is divided into two parts: refining and refining, and if you are a first-level pill pharmacist, you need to refine one first-grade pill and refine two first-class herbs in one hour. The second-level pill pharmacist is refining the second-level pill and refining two second-level herbs, and everyone only has one chance in each link, that is to say, if anyone makes a mistake in refining and refining, then you will be deemed to have failed the exam!" Speaking of this, Song Zhenting changed his serious tone intentionally or unintentionally: "It should be noted that the refining link is as important as the refining link!"
As soon as these words came out, there were more or less discussions in the audience, and Zhou Bo slowly lowered his head, he was not afraid, but felt that if everyone had an hour of exam time, then there were more than 100 people in front of him now, how long would he have to wait for his turn? !
Zhou Bo somewhat understood why so many people were rushing to the front, and it seemed that the last place in the queue would really have to wait until tomorrow to be on the turn.
But when the game really started, Zhou Bo realized that he was wrong.
Under Song Zhenting's order, the game officially began, and the first person to appear was a boy wearing a brown semi-large vest.
And immediately after, two boys of the same age stepped forward, and also walked steadily to the other two medicine tripods, seeing this, Zhou Bo knew that the original competition was not one person finished the exam in the next person's turn, but three people at the same time, seeing this Zhou Bo was a lot more relieved, because it took much less time.
When Song Zhenting saw them in place, he nodded and signaled that they could start.
The three boys on the field immediately ran towards the surrounding stone platforms, carefully selecting medicinal materials, and after only a while, each of them returned to the medicine pod with a large ball of herbs, and then began to nervously refine the medicine.
Zhou Bo looked very carefully, he found that the herbs held by the three of them were all the same, they were all three herbs, Sealing Pain Grass, Single Leaf Blood Herb, and White Spirit Flower, it seemed that they all planned to refine the simplest of the first-level pills, thinking about it, since there were no specified requirements for the first-level pills, then why bother to make those complicated and difficult pills?
The Wound Pill was really easy to refine, and the three of them were all successful in refining it after a while, looking at the smooth Wound Pill, Song Zhenting smiled and nodded, and then said, "Very good, let's start refining herbs now!"
When the three of them saw that they had succeeded, they couldn't hide the ecstasy on their faces, and when they heard Song Zhenting say that they wanted to refine herbs, they hurriedly walked to the medicine refining area next to them, concentrating on picking herbs and preparing to refine herbs.
The three of them chose the seal pain grass, you know, this is the easiest first-level herb to choose, two years ago, when Zhou Bo first started to learn alchemy, but from this pain grass began to refine, and now it has been refined tens of thousands of plants, even if it is the simplest first-class herb, it is not an exaggeration.
