Chapter 17: Brutal Assessment
"Of course, you don't have to be too afraid, you must know that these spirit grass grades are not low-grade, and they are even provided by Elder Xuzi himself! As long as the two spirit grasses you take are correct, if you can neutralize the medicinal effect, there will be a lot of benefits, maybe with good luck, the effect of any one or two plants can withstand your cultivation for several months......"
Having said that, the disciples in the audience still couldn't be happy, and they all made bitter faces.
They are not all obedient fools who only listen to the half of the good words.
There are many benefits to success, but ......
What happens if you fail?
Uncle Shi didn't say it, and it was even more impossible for Ye Chen and the others to know.
Looking at the few elixirs on the table, many disciples had already begun to hesitate.
To be able to break into here, they have already surpassed the vast majority of people.
What we are facing is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But now this life-threatening challenge, not everyone has the courage to continue.
Ye Chen also didn't make a move.
I don't know why, he always felt that something was wrong.
From the very beginning, he had been thinking, what is the purpose of these assessments?
The first assessment is to select disciples who are literate and have excellent memory.
The second assessment is to select disciples with high primer proficiency.
At first glance, it seems that they are all for the purpose of selecting disciples who meet the qualifications of alchemists.
This third assessment, is it to pick out the disciples who are rich in spiritual grass knowledge?
No, it shouldn't be that simple.
Just now, this uncle also said that this last assessment will be very fair, and the winner will not be determined by the knowledge of spiritual grass.
So what exactly is the focus of the assessment?
Pick out a lucky disciple?
It doesn't make much sense, does it?
After carefully observing these spirit grasses, Ye Chen recalled the contents of the "Spirit Grass Compendium", and was surprised to find that there seemed to be no record of these spirit grasses in it at all.
It can't be that there is something wrong with his memory, although he has not memorized all the contents of the entire "Compendium of Spirit Grass", but the most basic description of the name of the spirit grass and the appearance of the illustrations, he still put a lot of effort into it.
In other words, these spirit grasses are basically all rare or cherished varieties......
It seems that the sentence provided by the Elder of the Void Son in person should not be fake.
Glancing at other people's tables, he found that the spirit grass in front of everyone was different, and he couldn't use others as a reference.
And just by their appearance, he couldn't tell the type and function of these spirit grasses at all......
In front of so many people, it was impossible for him to put any spirit grass into the farmland.
Just knowing a name doesn't help this assessment at all.
Just as he was thinking, the senior uncle had already urged: "I suggest that you better make a decision quickly, there is not half an hour to go, if you haven't swallowed the spirit grass by then, then it will be regarded as an automatic abstention!" ”
Half an hour? Isn't this time too tight?
Ye Chen's heart tightened slightly, and the other disciples were even more hesitant.
Suddenly, a disciple seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence from his throat, "Fight!" After that, without even hesitating, he directly picked up the two spirit grasses and chewed and swallowed them.
"Hmm...... Not! ”
In front of everyone's eyes, the disciple grabbed his neck violently, his whole face turned purple and black, his blood-red eyes swelled out, and after two "hoho" sounds, he fell directly on the spot.
After a few convulsions, he was silent.
He's dead?
Is this playing for real?
This scene made the disciples feel cold in their hearts, most of these disciples in the early stage of qi refining had only been in the sect for half a year or two, they had never even gone down the mountain, and they had never experienced wind and rain at all, where could they see this meeting?
A disciple who was still alive and assessed with them before passed away like this......
The corpse was lying next to them right now......
Someone covered his mouth and retched twice, squatting on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
Someone directly raised his hand tremblingly and chose to abstain.
Some people didn't seem to react on the surface, but when they looked at the spirit grass on the table, their faces had already changed.
Obviously, at least in a short period of time, no disciple would take the spirit grass with the mentality of gambling.
At the other end of the square, on the top of the attic of the Ishai Hall, a tea table is placed.
At the tea table, two old men in red robes sat opposite each other.
A huge attic, and there were only the two of them at this time.
A long-bearded old man frowned, "Holding on to weakness, why don't you save yourself when you see death?" Anyway, this disciple is also a member of my Qingyun Sect. ”
"With your Void Child's spiritual herb elixir attainment, you don't need to work hard to save it, right?"
"Hehe, it's just an outer disciple, why bother to save it?"
The Elder who Ye Chen had seen before was also here at this time, and when he heard this, he just pursed his lips and was very disdainful.
"These outer disciples, living is just a waste of pills, it's better to die, just to free up some shares for others."
"Then what's the point of setting up your Wai Dan Hall?" The bearded old man was slightly angry.
"This is different from what we said before, you can play arbitrarily in any assessment of this Waidantang, but you must not kill anyone!"
"I have my own ideas." Hugxuzi shook his head.
"What do I care what you think?" The long-bearded old man was really angry, "I know that those from your inner sect have always looked down on the outer disciples, but don't forget, the head of the sect and I are both from the outer sect in the past!" ”
"It's too much, you have to explain it yourself!"
Hearing this, Bao Xuzi just smiled slightly, but he still hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the other party, "Dissipate your anger, senior brother is really joking, this is only a hundred people, and there are not a few deaths, you should not have seen it over there, and the head of the family will not trouble me because of this kind of thing." ”
"Don't forget, the spirit stone mine over there in Xisha has you and me involved......
"You...... Alas! The bearded old man sighed and said no more.
He is also tired of these people's factions, and it is even more difficult for a middleman like him who is not on any side at this time.
If Fang Cai didn't know anything about the spirit herb pill, he would have gone to save that disciple himself.
It's not that he has a lot of compassion, he has cultivated for hundreds of years, and he doesn't know how many dead people have seen, so how can he pity a person's life?
But in his opinion, these disciples, even if they were outer disciples, were the cornerstone of his Qingyun Sect that had stood for thousands of years.
But now, these people are going too far.
Even these cornerstones began to be destroyed step by step.
I don't know how things will develop......
In the square, watching that disciple die, Ye Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
This was the first time in his two lives that he had seen a dead person, especially a dead man who died in front of him.
A living life, just gone......
Putting aside the complex psychological activities, even he couldn't help but be entangled at this time, whether he should continue this assessment?
In order to enter the Waidantang, gambling with one's own life, should it be worth it?
You must know that he is not sure about these spirit grasses at all......
