Chapter 63: Spirit Plant

These four spirit herbs are precisely the main medicine for refining the Tendon Strengthening Bone Pill and the Increasing Spiritual Wisdom Pill, the young man's face changed suddenly, and he asked loudly, "What do you have to do with the Alchemy Association?"

Tang Lang pondered it again and again, and finally decided to tell the truth: "My name is Tang Lang, Canglei student, and I am also an alchemy apprentice. ”

The young man flatly refused: "We don't welcome people from the Alchemy Association here, you go quickly!"

It was a major matter related to the cultivation of the team members, Tang Lang couldn't leave it, and begged hard: "Please help ...... also"

The voices of the two became louder and louder, and a few people came out of the thatched hut to check the situation, one of the older people, wearing a coarse linen coat, his hem was dotted with mud, and his hands were like old bark, and he reprimanded: "Xiao Qin, why are you arguing with the guests?"

The young man surnamed Qin pointed at Tang Lang's nose and shouted: "Steward, he is a member of the Alchemy Association, if he wants to buy spirit grass, if I want to drive him away, he will deliberately make trouble!"

When Tang Lang heard the word "steward", he didn't dare to slack off, and saluted and said: "I've seen Du in charge! I'm not making trouble here, I need a few flavors of spiritual grass to save people, please do it!"

Du Jisong was furious when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "Pu Gaofei sent you here! That old medicine jar didn't dare to come to the door by himself, and it was really useless to arrange for his subordinates to come out." Boy, the old man advises you to leave quickly, unless that old medicine jar comes to the door to make amends, don't even think about taking a single spiritual grass from here!"

Tang Lang was so anxious that the words of the people from the Spirit Plant Association added fuel to the fire, and he couldn't control it anymore: "Steward Du, I know that there is a very unpleasant quarrel between you and Steward Pu because of some differences of opinion, and even the supply of spiritual grass from the Alchemy Association has been terminated. I can't reconcile the relationship between the two, I just want to ask for the spirit grass to heal my brothers. Saving a life is better than ......"

"Don't talk to the old man about these crooked theories! The old man's spirit grass is only for those who treat them sincerely, and you alchemists only know how to purify them, extract them into spiritual liquid, and then turn them into lifeless pills, wasting the old man's painstaking efforts in cultivating the spirit grass!"

Du Jisong was still haunted by Pu Gaofei's previous views, and did not give Tang Lang any chance at all, so angry that he sneered: "Steward Du is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation! Spirit grass needs to be rare, can human life be wiped out at will? Most of the elixirs refined by our Dan Master are for the purpose of curing diseases and saving people, but Du Guan Shi forcibly stopped the supply of spirit grass because of his own opinion, and I don't know how many people's illnesses will be indirectly delayed. ”

"You! what a sharp-toothed boy! No matter what you say, the old man will not change!" Du Jisong stubbornly shook his head again and again.

"Then if someone in the Spirit Plant Association needs an elixir to save their lives, can Steward Du stand by and watch?" Tang Lang asked rhetorically.

Du Jisong scoffed at this: "Don't use this kind of inferior tricks! Our spirit planters are all pure-hearted and have few desires, and the improvement of cultivation has always been a matter of course, and no one will be greedy for speed to swallow the pill!"

Tang Lang still chased after him: "Steward Du, let me ask you, if it is a member of the Spirit Plant Association, will you save it or not?"

"Every spirit grass in this forest garden is cultivated by the members of my Spirit Plant Association, if there is a real need, how can the old man be reluctant!"

"In that case, I'm here to apply to become a spiritual plant apprentice, what conditions are needed, let's hear it!"

Tang Lang suddenly threw out the topic that made Du Jisong almost flash to his waist: "What? You said that you want to certify the Spirit Plant Apprentice, don't talk about it!"

"No, I'm really sincere to join the Spirit Plant Association, some introductory knowledge has been mastered, if you don't believe it, Steward Du can be assessed in person. ”

"Hugh wants to mess around, if you don't leave, Hugh blames the old man for being rude!"

Tang Lang pretended to be innocent: "Steward Du, how can the Spirit Plant Association be so self-contained, and I don't have the courage to connect with fresh blood?" In this case, there is no need for me to join, after I go back, I want to have a good chat with my classmates in the academy!"

"If you kid dare to wantonly smear the Spirit Plant Association, even if the old man has a big fight with that Zongbo, he will punish you!" Du Jisong said viciously.

Tang Lang spread his hands: "How dare I smear it? But I came to sign up sincerely but was directly turned away, this is a fact! What is the crime of me telling the truth?"

Du Jisong's lips trembled with anger, he held back his anger, and shouted: "Xiao Qin, tell him about the standards for certifying spirit plant apprentices, let him know the depth of our spirit plant skills, and block his stinky mouth!"

The young man surnamed Qin also said angrily: "You are really messing around! I have been learning spirit planting skills since I was ten years old, identifying the classics of spirit grass, water and soil, climate, and insect pests...... You have to be proficient in it, how can someone like you be certified?"

Tang Lang winked at him and smiled: "There is nothing difficult about these for me. Brother Qin just needs to inform the certification conditions!"

"Hmph! If you want to become a spiritual plant apprentice, you must first take a written test, and the scope of the exam questions includes the upper, middle and lower volumes of the "Spirit Plant Language" written by the association, and after passing, the spirit planter of the association will ask questions on the spot, and answer at least three of the characteristics and cultivation conditions among the five spirit grasses......

"Doesn't sound too hard! But I have one condition?"

"You say!"

"Borrow a set of "Spirit Plant Language" to show me first, at most an hour!"

Du Jisong didn't laugh angrily: "Lend it to him! I want to see what tricks I can play! The three volumes of "Spirit Plant Language" are nearly a million words, even if you can read it in an hour, you can remember a few points!" The young man surnamed Qin obeyed his instructions, found a set of "Spirit Plant Language" and threw it in front of Tang Lang.

Tang Lang sat down cross-legged on the spot, opened the first volume of "The Language of the Spirit Plant", and quickly browsed page by page, many times faster than normal people reading books, almost just turning the page at a glance......

An hour passed in a hurry, Tang Lang stretched his waist and jumped up from the ground, closed the second volume of "Spirit Plant Language" again, and smiled: "You can start, where are the exam questions?"

The young man surnamed Qin took out dozens of sets of exam questions and handed them to Du Jisong, and before each certification, he answered one of the test questions on the spot, so as not to cheat. Du Jisong usually flipped out one casually, but this time, in order to deliberately make it difficult, he looked through them carefully one by one, and found a set of exam questions that were very strange: "It's this, in a quarter of an hour, the old man will read the papers for you on the spot, and there are so many people watching, so you can lose convincingly!"

Tang Lang took the exam question unashamedly: "Steward Du, you don't need to read the papers, I dictated the answers on the spot, and I didn't prepare pens, ink, tables and chairs for me!"

It is more difficult to answer verbally than to write on the exam paper, and there is no chance of making mistakes, but Tang Lang gives answers to every question without thinking.

"Stone calamus, the leaves have a sword spine, thin roots and dense knots, and the rest of the tall rulers are of the highest grade; bitter, mild, non-toxic; the main treatment of cough and reverse injury, make up for deficiencies, remove evil spirits, and benefit the nine ......"

"Xinyi, several zhang high, the wood has a fragrance, the flowers are beginning to emerge from the branches, the buds are half an inch long, and the opening is like a lotus flower and small as a lamp, the purple buds are red and flame......"

More than ten exam questions were completed in a blink of an eye, and several spirit planters on the sidelines became more and more surprised as Tang Lang answered, and their mouths could be put into their fists, and Du Jisong was also more and more surprised the more he listened: "Is there really such a strange person in the world, who can see ten lines at a glance and never forget it! No, it must have been deliberate by this kid, he has already memorized "Spirit Plant Language" for a long time, and he came here to sensationalize, and he was almost deceived by him!"

Tang Lang saw that the other party had not moved for a long time, and reminded loudly: "Steward Du, there is no problem with my answer, can you announce the result?"

"Well, you're answering all the right questions, but ......."

"Since it's all right, what's the best thing to do! Please continue to ask the question, present the five kinds of spirit grass that are assessed on the spot, and let me answer it." ”

Du Jisong's expression changed several times, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, you wait here for a while, and the old man will personally prepare the spirit grass." ”

Walking in the garden, Du Jisong's eyes were looking for suitable exam questions everywhere, and when he tilted his head and saw a few spirit grasses with yellow branches and leaves, he immediately thought to himself: "Even if you kid is cunning like a ghost, it may be okay to identify a few normal spirit grasses, but the appearance and characteristics of these sick spirit grasses are completely different from normal ones, what do you do?"

After a while, Du Jisong returned, Tang Lang saw the five pots of spirit grass lined up on the ground, and immediately cried and laughed: only two spirit grasses were in a normal state of growth, tall and lush, the other two were withered and wilted, drooping branches and leaves, and were dying, and the last one was the most angry, all the green leaves had been eaten clean by small insects, and only a bare branch remained.

"Steward Du, it seems that the level of our Spirit Plant Association is not very good, and these spirit grasses are about to die, which is really disappointing!" Tang Lang refused to suffer a dumb loss, and deliberately quipped.

"Don't say that, answer quickly! Not only to plant all kinds of spirit grass seedlings, but also to treat sick spirit grass is also one of the important tasks of the spirit planter. What's the matter, I can't answer, can I?" Du Jisong thought that Tang Lang was deliberately making excuses, so he hurriedly said it to death without giving him any chance.

"Tell me casually, what are you doing so excited, Steward Du! These kinds of spiritual grasses still can't help me, from left to right, they are pen grass, ginger grass, water nepeta, bamboo yellow and snake root grass. ”

I thought I could stump Tang Lang, but unexpectedly, he said all the names of the spirit grass, Du Jisong's heart tightened, but he still pretended not to be shocked, and said: "It's not difficult to recognize the five kinds of spirit grass, you have to tell how to treat these three sick spirit grasses!"

Tang Lang didn't know the difficulty of the additional exam questions, carefully recalled the content of the recorded "Spirit Plant Language", walked forward to observe them one by one, and pinched a small section with his hand and put it under his nose to smell the smell......
