Chapter 137: Preliminary Round (3)

After helping a few fifth-rank disciples clean up the Yanwu Square, Jian Li sat in the stands and thought about the words of a few people just now. [with _ dream]ā

According to them, in previous years, the drug competition was roughly divided into a preliminary round and a final round.

The preliminary round is divided into two steps.

Step 1: Answer the questions.

The elder in charge of Dabi will give the contestant a question related to medicinal herbs, and the contestant writes the answer on a piece of paper, and after a quarter of an hour, the contestant presents the answer to the second-generation disciple in charge of overseer.

Finally, the results will be announced by the second generation of disciples.

This step will probably eliminate ninety percent of the candidates, and the remaining one percent of about thirty people will begin to enter the second step of the preliminary round: drug identification.

This step is the most difficult and important step in the preliminary round.

The second-generation disciples selected a hundred kinds of medicinal materials in advance, ground them into powder, and then mixed them together.

What the contestants have to do is to identify the names of the mixed herbs within a limited time, according to their eyes, touches, noses, or other methods.

Thousands of years after the establishment of the medicine identification competition, except for the former Shennong who identified 99 kinds of herbs, until now, no one has been able to successfully identify more than 95 kinds of herbs.

As for the person who actually identified all the herbs, no one has ever done so.

"It's so difficult to distinguish the medicine, and I don't know how many I can guess. Looking up at the sky in the distance, the sword was full of thoughts.

I didn't expect Master Shennong to be so powerful that he could distinguish ninety-nine kinds, and I don't know how he did it.

It's a pity that the master is no longer in front of him, otherwise it would be better to ask him.

......

As for the finals, they will personally find a patient with incurable diseases, and the top three disciples in the preliminary round will come up with a solution.

According to the different solutions, the best one of them is finally selected as the champion of the whole drug identification competition.

However, this year is a little different from previous years, every year it is an elder who can deal with it casually, and today because it involves the selection of a husband by the master of the Immortal Gate, all the elders in the valley, including the valley lord Mo Bai, will be present.

Therefore, relatively speaking, whether it is the on-site order or the degree of standardization of the overall competition, it is not much better than the big competition of refining medicine.

Even the results of the preliminary and final rounds had to be decided by several elders.

"It seems that this time the medicine distinction is more important than the Medicine King Valley, and the marriage between the two factions is by no means simple. Feeling the growing crowd around him, Jian Li thought for a moment and turned around and walked towards the contestants' temporary resting place.

From a distance, there is a circle of more than a dozen people in the middle of the Yanwu Square, and dozens of wooden tables have already been placed in the middle of the circle, and a pocket is placed on each table.

"Looking at this situation, I think I have herbs in my pocket for the competition. ”

Jian Li just wanted to use his spiritual power to probe the herbs in his pocket, but he suddenly came back to his senses.

This is the Medicine King Valley, and according to Master Shennong, there are not a few disciples who cultivate spiritual power here. Don't take risks yourself, in case these people who are guarding around notice the clues, and reprimand is small, if your true identity is exposed, you will suffer.

Forget it, we'll wait until the game.

Thinking of this, Jian Li no longer hesitated, and walked quickly towards the temporary resting place.

Not far from the resting place, Jian Li found that some disciples dressed in various costumes had gathered in groups around him.

These disciples were sitting and standing, talking and laughing together, talking and laughing together.

Seeing Jian Li walking over, the people around him stopped laughing and looked at him with strange expressions.

"Hey, I'm not mistaken, this is a fifth-class disciple in coarse linen, what is he doing here?" spoke a young man in a purple robe.

"Could it be that he's here to participate in the medicine competition?" said a man in a blue robe, stunned

Looking at the people with different expressions in front of him, Jian Li straightened his chest and walked into the rest place with his head held high, not ashamed at all because he was dressed as a fifth-class disciple and dressed in miscellaneous clothes.

......

When it comes to clothing, not only do the disciples of the Medicine King Valley have a strict hierarchy, but so do the costumes that the disciples wear.

Generally, there is no restriction on the clothing of the chief disciples, and the chief disciples and below, from the first to the fifth, are purple, blue, yellow, red, and gray respectively.

......

Looking at the gray linen disciples who walked in proudly, the disciples outside the door looked at each other.

You read that right, this is really a competition?

A fifth-class handyman, to participate in the drug identification competition?

This is a ridiculous joke!

Although there is no limit to the level of disciples who sign up for this big competition, but those who really sign up are at least third-class disciples, look at these people around, isn't that a second-class disciple in blue or a first-class disciple in purple? At least they are third-class disciples in yellow.

Even the fourth-rank red-clothed disciples did not dare to sign up for the competition rashly, lest they fail to advance and lose face in front of everyone.

I didn't expect God to make a joke on myself today, a fifth-class handyman came to compete?

When did the subordinates of Wang Gu also have such strength?

Could it be that some elder secretly cultivated a talent?

"Hey, Senior Brother, that person really came to compete just now?" The blue-clothed disciple's gaze withdrew from the fifth-rank disciple, and the brick looked at the purple-clothed disciple next to him.

"Participate?" the purple-clothed disciple sneered.

"I think there is some chores in this rest place for him to do, he is a handyman, don't say he doesn't have that ability, even if he really has that ability, he dares to be embarrassed in this kind of game?"..

"Senior Brother is right, by the way, Senior Brother, I heard that our subordinate chief is also going to participate in this big competition?"

"Yes! It was decided on an ad hoc basis. The man in purple said, his eyes showed subtle jealousy and unwillingness.

"It's a pity, senior brother, if it wasn't for ......"

"Don't say it!" the man in purple interrupted.

"The past is in the past, and now our chief disciple of Ma Rengu is Chief Ma, this kind of words will rot in the stomach in the future!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!" the man in blue turned his head to look to the side after speaking, at this time he no longer had the previous submissiveness, but his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth were tilted, and an indescribable smile appeared on his face.

When Jian Li walked into the rest place, it was already overcrowded.

At first glance, there were about one or two hundred people.

These people gathered together to have a heated argument and discussion, and most of the discussion was related to the later game.

Choosing a corner and sitting down alone, Jian Li quietly observed the crowd.

At the front of the crowd stood two acquaintances at this time, Jian Li took a closer look, it turned out that the two were none other than the valley master and chief disciple of Niu Ren Valley, Ma Yunlai.

At this time, Ma Yunlai sat at an ordinary table, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, and looking listless.

Ma Yunteng, the valley master of Niuren Valley, was maintaining order here, and at the same time turned back to say something to Ma Yun from time to time.

Retracting his gaze, Jian Li looked at the crowd around him, and suddenly found that several female disciples in yellow shirts and delicate eyebrows appeared in the middle of the crowd.

"Female disciple?" Jian Li was stunned, in addition to the miscellaneous servants, when did the Medicine King Valley also have female disciples?
