Chapter 16: Spirit Grass or Poisonous Weed
The assessment disciples changed places, and all sat on the tables and chairs that had been newly furnished before.
On each table was a pair of delicate glass vessels, as well as a bowl of medicinal powder and a bowl of medicinal liquid.
That's what they're going to do.
The time of one stick of incense is not short, almost equal to two quarters of an hour.
For the equal division of liquid medicine and powder, there is plenty of time.
Some of the disciples were already gearing up, and when the above announced the start, they directly began to divide it manually.
Ye Chen was not as anxious as them, he first carefully set up the utensils on the table, and then he used the primer technique.
I saw that the large bowl of medicinal powder flew up in an instant, and after spinning in the air a few times, it was directly divided into several parts, and slowly fell into several small bowls below.
Is it that easy?
It was the first time for Ye Chen to do this kind of evenly divided work, but he didn't expect it to be easier than he imagined.
And he felt that this was still the limited realm of his cultivation, otherwise he was afraid that he would be able to directly complete half of this assessment with this primer technique.
However, he was not in a hurry, and after a few more primer techniques, these medicinal powders circled around in the air a few times, and finally honestly turned into ten equal parts of medicinal powder.
The equalization of the medicinal powder was almost completed, but Ye Chen's mana was close to exhaustion.
This is the disadvantage of the early stage of qi refining, the total amount of mana is really low and pitiful.
Even with a very low consumption primer technique, so many rounds of maintenance and casting in succession quickly drained his mana.
Even people's mental state has also languished.
Fortunately, he had prepared before, and took out a tonic elixir and took it.
This kind of elixir, which is not much cheaper than the Ascension Pill, that is, a spirit stone, has a very obvious effect in this realm.
As the cool aura rose from his lower abdomen, Ye Chen only needed a little guidance, and these aura could be directly absorbed by him into mana, replenishing his already somewhat sluggish primordial spirit.
The mana consumed was quickly restored to more than half.
Ye Chen, who was refreshed, looked at the remaining medicinal liquid.
Liquid medicine is even simpler.
The steps are similar, and the equalization is even easier than that of a powder.
In less than half an hour, Ye Chen had already divided the ten parts of the liquid medicine equally.
This time, he was much more proficient, and the mana consumed was less than half of the evenly divided medicinal powder.
He even had time to use the remaining mana release primer technique to confirm that the weight of these potions and powder was the same, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
His assessment is complete.
Only then did Ye Chen have the kung fu to look around, and found that among the disciples around him, there were really many who used spells to equalize the score.
At least there are dozens or nearly hundreds.
After all, primer is still a method that everyone can learn, as long as they have done similar work with it and have proficiency, basically anyone can follow him.
There are even many people who have completed it faster than him, these people are basically disciples who have been in the sect for several years, I don't know if it is because of their qualifications, they are still in the early stage of qi refining.
But most of the people still honestly hold the utensils and use their hands to tinker there.
Seeing Ye Chen's heart, he shook his head for a while.
There are no electronic scales here, only hand scales with outrageous accuracy.
If you want to use these devices to complete the basic equalization, you can use the naked eye to identify it after the separation.
But to use them to complete high-precision equalization, there is only one way to rely on estimation - metaphysics!
It's better to use primers, even if the proficiency is low, it's better than using your hands......
After a stick of incense, those inner disciples came to verify the results.
Ye Chen's share passed again without a doubt.
In the end, there were only about 100 people left who passed this assessment, and most of them were evenly divided with primers.
There are only a few who can do it manually, and they can come here, which has already made Ye Chen admire from the bottom of his heart.
I don't know if it's really hard work, there are those pharmacy shopkeepers who have been in charge for decades, or it's all about luck.
But either way, in a sense...... It's all really amazing.
The hundreds of people who had been eliminated also became onlookers, sighing and walking out of the square.
The remaining 100 or so people are undoubtedly very prominent.
It directly became the focus of the attention of thousands of onlookers.
At this time, there were thousands of disciples watching outside the venue, and after many people were eliminated, they had no idea of leaving in a short time.
"Huh? Isn't that Ye Chen? ”
"Wow? Is it really him? ”
Several young disciples gathered together looked at each other.
They were both new disciples, and they and Ye Chen were assigned to the same courtyard at that time.
Less than half a year is not enough to completely forget each other.
At the time, the other party was mediocre from all angles, but he often mixed with the disciples of that family, which left a lot of impressions.
Later, they also heard that this person who had stepped into the bottom of the ranking of Qi refining had finally received the task of cultivating spirit grass, and his future was bleak.
I didn't expect the other party to be able to advance to the third door in this assessment.
"What a stroke of luck!" One person sighed repeatedly.
He successfully advanced to the first assessment, but he didn't expect to fail the hand test in the second assessment and regretfully quit.
"I guess he doesn't even have the second level of qi refining now, so I don't know how the second assessment will be."
"How's it going, shit luck?" The other person next to him rolled his eyes.
He hadn't even taken the first assessment, so it was naturally very unpleasant to look at Ye Chen at this time.
The others laughed in response.
An unlucky guy who became one of the jokes they talked about after tea and dinner surpassed all of them in this assessment today, and it would be false to say that they were not jealous or jealous.
They had known for a long time that those who could receive the spiritual grass planting task were all "waste wood" disciples with poor qualifications and hand-picked by the sect, so they could be so nonsense by those inner disciples.
"Luck is part of strength." The man at the front shook his head.
"I just don't know if he can pass the last assessment, if he can pass, tsk, then we are far from being a terrible person."
The rest of the people laughed out loud one after another, "How is it possible...... Fan Chong, we see that you really made a mistake today, and you said such unrealistic words......"
"A first-level disciple who has been newly entering the sect for four months, do you expect him to really succeed in advancing to the Outer Dan Hall?"
"That's it, remember to punish yourself for a drink at night, hahaha......"
……
Not knowing that he had really attracted the attention of so many people, Ye Chen followed the others to the location of the last assessment.
"The content of the last assessment is the identification of spiritual herbs." Uncle Zhuji had a weird smile on his face.
"I know that a few of you are new to the sect, or you haven't read any spirit grass books."
"There is no threshold for these things, if you can enter the Waidan Hall, then you can all re-learn, so in the last assessment, we chose a fairer method!"
After that, he commanded Ye Chen and the others to stand in their proper positions.
Like the second assessment, the content of the third assessment is all on the same table.
Ye Chen looked down and found that it was a few spirit grasses that he seemed to have seen, but he didn't fully recognize.
"The last assessment content is to neutralize the medicinal properties of the spirit grass, huh...... Or toxicity? ”
Uncle Zhuji's voice sounded faintly and began to explain.
"The table of spirit grass in front of you is all true spirit grass! But because the medicinal properties are too strong, these spirit grasses are enough to poison you to death easily for your disciples in the early stage of Qi refining! ”
"And what you have to do is to choose another spirit grass next to it, and take it at the same time to neutralize the medicinal properties!"
"Each spirit grass has a corresponding "antidote", if you choose the spirit grass successfully, then congratulations, not only is it completely fine, but you can also directly successfully pass the last level and become a member of my Wai Dan Tang in the future."
"If it fails...... Hehe. ”
This foundation building uncle had a smile on his face, but Ye Chen and the others couldn't laugh anymore, and their faces changed.
