Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Assessment of Pharmaceutical Apprentices

Dan Pavilion is located in Tianji Peak, echoing with Tianxuan Peak where Meng Xie lives.

Tianji Peak is not steep, there is a fairly flat stone steps long road, leading straight to Dange.

On both sides of the road, the trees are lush and green, as if the mountain is covered with a green coat.

The various cries of insects, birds, and small animals are intertwined to form a symphony that makes people feel refreshed.

The blue sky is like washing, and the satin-like blue sky and white clouds make people can't help but want to touch it a few times.

On the long road of the stone steps, the crowds were surging, and the disciples of the sect were wandering together, and there were disciples coming from the inner gate and the outer gate.

Meng Xie also followed the crowd and climbed to the top.

What comes into view is a square, paved with bluestone, and an attic about five or six zhang high with an antique shape stands in the center.

This is the famous Dan Pavilion of the Exile Sect.

The shape of the Dan Pavilion is unique, the roof of the building is octagonal, extends outward, bends and warps, and eight different beasts of different shapes are carved on it.

The whole Dan Pavilion is divided into four layers, and the appearance is carved with different herbs and patterns, which looks like it has a unique charm.

Above the gate of Dange, there is a plaque with the word "Dange" written on it.

Looking around the square, Meng Xie found that there were four paths corresponding to four directions.

Many of the disciples who climbed to the top of the peak chose to take this road to the west, and it seemed that the Baicaotang should be in that direction.

Meng Xie followed the flow of people towards the path to the west, and in a moment he came to a cave.

At the entrance of the cave, the open space, which was not too large, was already overcrowded.

Many people have nowhere to see the excitement, and some climb directly onto the trees, so that the view is better.

Due to his identity, Meng Xie didn't make much effort, so he squeezed to the front position.

He looked at the entrance of the cave, on the left side was a stone wall, with many names engraved on it, and on the right side stood a stone tablet, engraved with the words "Baicaotang".

About three zhang away from the entrance of the cave, there was a fence that was not too high, which kept all the disciples out.

Meng Xie had just stabilized his body when he found an old man in a white robe walking out of the cave.

"Old man Xu Zheng, the medicine apprentice assessment, starting now, those who answer more than 10,000 questions correctly will be qualified!" The old man who called himself Xu Zheng said solemnly.

The crowd below was full of discussions, and the disciples let out a burst of exclamations.

"Ten thousand! How did it become ten thousand, last time it was eight thousand. ”

"It's over, it looks like I can't do it this time. ”

Meng Xie was puzzled, and after inquiring with an outer disciple beside him, he found out the reason.

It turned out that the assessment of Baicaotang's recruitment of medicine apprentices has always been very lenient, and as long as you answer 5,000 questions correctly, you can be promoted.

In the past two months, for some reason, the difficulty of each assessment has not only increased significantly, but also the passing line has been repeatedly increased.

Last month, as long as 8,000 questions and answers were right, you could be promoted, but who knows, this month, as soon as it comes up, it will become 10,000 questions.

"Is it difficult to ask ten thousand questions?" Meng Xie asked casually.

The disciple in front of him immediately rolled his eyes a few times, resisted the urge to scold, and turned his head to stop paying attention to Meng Xie.

Meng Xie, who was bored with himself and liked to make up his mind, planned to take a look at the situation first.

Sure enough, after the old man named Xu Zheng finished speaking, fifty people soon walked into the Baicao Hall.

Only a quarter of an hour later, people walked out of the Baicao Hall one after another, dejected.

Some disciples who didn't participate asked, and those who finished the exam shook their heads one after another.

"It's so hard that I don't have much to answer at all. ”

"Is that a question from a person? I actually look at the veins to distinguish the herbs, who can answer it, I will be a medicine boy for him for the rest of his life." ”

The words of these people made the disciples who had not yet participated in the assessment even worse, and they wailed one after another.

At this time, Meng Xie heard a few people behind him complaining.

"It's really, it's so difficult, if we have the strength of Senior Brother Yuchen, we will definitely win the assessment. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Yuchen is not an ordinary person, I didn't see that the only person on the stone wall who answered 100,000 questions correctly was him. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xie looked at the stone wall and found that the number of questions answered correctly was recorded by the name of each person on it.

At the top of the list is Yu Chen in the mouths of the disciples just now, and there is an extremely conspicuous number behind the name, 100,000!

Speaking of Yu Chen, Meng Xie has been in the medicine hall recently, and of course he has heard of it.

I heard that Yu Chen's cultivation was not high when he first entered the Exile Sect, and he gradually showed his talent later, he has a fire spirit body, and he is naturally the best candidate for cultivating fire attribute martial arts and alchemy, and he is quite talented for alchemy.

As soon as it was discovered, the Great Elder Pei Dingyong made an exception to promote Yu Chen as an inner disciple, and the supply of resources was sufficient, and he became a third-grade martial artist in just a few years.

Yu Chen was not very interested in cultivation, he was obsessed with alchemy, and even made a vow to answer all the questions of Baicaotang correctly before becoming a medicine disciple.

Looking downward, Meng Xie planned to see who else could be ranked on the stone wall, but suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from behind.

"Yu Chen, Senior Brother Yu Chen is here. ”

"It's Yuchen!"

Meng Xie turned around and found that the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and a young man slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

This is Yu Chen?

Meng Xie also saw him for the first time, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Yu Chen looks like he is only twenty-four or five years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a cold face, and a white shirt on his body, which makes him even more extraordinary, like a master in the world.

Standing in front of the crowd, Yu Chen looked at Xu Zheng and said respectfully: "Old Xu, I'm here again." ”

Xu Zheng was obviously very familiar with Yu Chen, stroked his beard, and smiled: "Well, try again this time?"

Yu Chen nodded, although his face was still cold, but his heart was full of fighting spirit.

Last time, he answered 100,000 questions correctly and became the first person in the Exile Sect, but he resolutely refused the reward of becoming a medicine disciple.

In his opinion, 100,000 questions may not be the limit, I heard that there are 500,000 questions in the inscription array of Baicao Hall, and his goal is to answer all of them correctly!

Only in this way can he participate in the Southern Regions Dan Dao Conference as an alchemy genius and become the first person to alchemy in the past and present from the Exiled Sect!

For this reason, he devoted himself to studying the pharmacopoeia for a full year, and felt that he had accumulated a lot of accumulation, so he planned to try again.

Someone walked out of Baicaotang dejectedly again, Yu Chen nodded at Xu Lao and walked in.

Meng Xie saw Yu Chen enter, dispelled the idea of following up in his heart, and prepared to take a look first.

Time flies, and an hour passes in the blink of an eye.

In the Baicao Hall, people continued to enter and exit, but Yu Chen was never seen out.

"Look, Yu Chen has broken through 100,000!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, Meng Xie raised his eyes.

On the stone wall, Yu Chen's name day glowed faintly, and the numbers behind it were quickly refreshed.

In a few breaths, the number becomes 101,000, and it is still growing.

Yu Chen really lived up to his reputation, and his mastery of herbal medicine reached an appalling level.

Meng Xie compared it in his heart, and found that even if he went in, he was afraid that it would be the same speed as Yu Chen, and it seemed that this person was not simple.

Another two hours passed!

When the number behind Yu Chen's name on the stone wall was finally fixed at 499,997, it finally stopped moving!

After waiting for a while, Yu Chen's figure appeared outside the Baicao Hall.

At this moment, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he even stumbled a few steps when he saw the sun.

Outside the Hundred Grass Hall, there was silence.

Everyone looked at Yu Chen with a hint of admiration and envy in their eyes, and even the old man Xu Zheng was surprised.

Forty nine million nine hundred seventy-seven thousand!

The first person to be exiled from the past and present!

Although he was only short of three questions to answer all of them correctly, this did not affect the disciples' worship of him.

This Yuchen is simply a living pharmacopoeia!

Someone stepped forward to support Yu Chen, and Xu Zheng asked with concern on the old face on the side: "How about it?" Go back and rest, you are the first person in our Exile Sect, the first person since the establishment of the Sect, and no one has ever been able to answer these questions correctly, it seems that this inscription array is going to increase the problem again." ”

"Xu Lao has won the award. Yu Chen arched his hand, "My mind is too drained, and I need to go back to recuperate, so I won't say much." ”

Nodding, Xu Zheng arranged for two people to send Yu Chen back.

Pharmacist assessment, continue!

After Yu Chen's scene, the front of Baicao Hall became noisy, and the disciples began to get excited and eager to try.

Many people couldn't wait to enter the Baicaotang, but most of them returned disappointed.

"I'm three short, alas, just a little bit. ”

"What are you, I'm only one short, if there is anything to refer to, it would be good, we won't go in and be blind. ”

Reference?

Hearing these two words, Meng Xie's heart moved, and an idea suddenly sprung up.

In order to determine the feasibility, when someone from Baicaotang came out again, he was the first to walk in.

Entering the Hundred Herb Hall, Meng Xie was divided into a small closed space, and herbs appeared in front of him.

With just one glance, Meng Xie easily gave the answer.

After a few breaths, Meng Xie answered a lot of questions correctly, and looked at the counter on the side, there were three hundred.

Then, when the question appeared again, Meng Xie stopped answering, and after taking a look, he said no, and the next question automatically appeared in front of his eyes.

In this way, after four or five hours, Meng Xie walked out of the Hundred Grass Hall, and he who had only answered five thousand questions, couldn't wait to find a corner, took out a blank jade slip, and carefully recorded something.

When he remembered that it was almost there, he rushed into the Baicao Hall again.

And so on and so forth. In the past three days, except for eating and sleeping, Meng Xie spent the rest of the time in the Baicao Hall.

As soon as he entered, it would take him four or five hours.

Gradually, someone discovered Meng Xie's strange behavior, and began to have different opinions.

Some people say that Meng Xie studied hard, some said that he was not self-sufficient, and some people said that he was angry and trying to be strong in order to pursue the beautiful alchemist of the medicine hall, and some people even speculated that the beautiful alchemist was Ji Yun.

Hearing this, Meng Xie smiled and didn't distinguish it.

But in the end, a fact, in front of everyone, Meng Xie did not become a medicine disciple. (To be continued.) )
