Chapter Seventy-Six: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
After the Great Elder of the Medicine Sect finished reading the list, the disciples of the Outer Sect and the Loose Cultivators who participated in the pharmacopoeia competition entered one after another.
Chen Mengsheng turned up, the five elders cast an encouraging look, Wan Changsong also looked over from the area where the guests of the ten thousand families were located, Chen Mengsheng smiled slightly, and walked off the field with Elder Huang.
The disciples of the Medicine Sect did not enter the venue, and the first round of the competition was held between the disciples of the outer sect and the scattered cultivators, and after the first round of the competition, they could compete with the disciples of the Medicine Sect. This is not only to eliminate some people who are indiscriminate, but also to demonstrate the authority of the Medicine Sect, and there must still be respect.
This competition, the medicinal properties are familiar, the method is somewhat unique, and it is a little different from the last time in Wanjia, Chen Mengsheng was full of curiosity, he sat cross-legged, and there was a jade slip on the stone table in front of him.
When everyone was seated, the Medicine Sect Elder on the round platform waved his hand, and a huge picture scroll unfolded in the sky, and the picture scroll fluttered in the air, and the dense medicinal materials on it could be seen.
"Fellow Daoists who participated in the pharmacopoeia, this picture scroll is a sub-volume of "Herbaceous Order", which only has medicinal materials and no medicinal properties. When the competition begins, each person selects hundreds of medicinal materials, and prints their medicinal properties on the jade slip in front of you, which is limited to one hour, and someone will judge right or wrong after the end. ”
The Medicine Sect elder gave an order, and the competition began.
These outer sect disciples and casual cultivators all looked up at the sky, thinking about how to select a hundred kinds of medicinal materials.
The sub-volume of "Herbaceous Order" is very large, there are tens of thousands of medicinal materials on it, and it sounds very rare to select a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, if you are familiar with a hundred kinds of medicinal materials in advance, this round is not easy to pass? But this is only a sub-volume, the medicinal materials on it are not complete, and the medicinal materials on it will also change every time the pharmacopoeia is held, if you memorize a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, you will wait to be eliminated.
This competition compares everyone's familiarity with the "Herbs", alchemy is based on medicinal properties, if you are not familiar with medicinal properties, refining the elixir is extremely laborious. Although the Dan prescription is clearly written on what kind of medicine is used and how many medicinal materials, as long as it is according to the Dan prescription, the Dan can be refined. However, if Dan Xiu wants to enter the realm, it is impossible to be unfamiliar with medicinal materials, high-level Dan Xiu has the powerful ability to turn decay into magic, a first-grade pill pill pill, put it in their hands, it will refine a stronger pill, and the quality will catch up with the second grade or even higher.
There are many medicinal properties of medicinal materials, and different medicinal properties will produce different results, and Chen Mengsheng was able to deliberately refine "Danxiang" for Wanjia red candle incense, which is the result of his familiarity with medicinal properties. At that time, Wan Changsong asked him to memorize the "Herbs", and he kept memorizing those medicinal materials and medicinal properties along the way, counting the time in his dream, it is estimated that it would take several years to memorize the entire "Herbs".
Today's competition, for him is a piece of cake, he didn't pick, directly from the last hundred kinds of medicinal materials, every time he looks at a taste of medicinal materials, he presses the jade slip on the forehead, and an illusory picture is formed above the jade slip, and there are words on it slowly emerging, and it is a variety of medicinal materials and medicinal properties if you look carefully.
Competing with everyone, their expressions were different, and some of them looked relaxed, similar to Chen Mengsheng's state. Some people frowned, and from time to time looked at the sub-volume of the "Herbaceous Order". From here, you can not only see that these people are familiar with the properties of medicine, but also that they can see a person's strength. The sub-volume of "Herbs" in the sky is already huge, and it is also very difficult to pick out hundreds of medicinal materials from tens of thousands of medicinal materials, and the sub-volume is still fluttering, which makes it even more difficult to see the medicinal materials, which also tests the monk's soul.
Dang, a boom sounded, and half an hour passed. Chen Mengsheng looked at the jade slip picture in front of him and smiled slightly, there were a hundred kinds of medicinal materials on the screen, no more, no less.
There were sounds of surprise all around.
"Which sect disciple is this? If it weren't for the indiscriminate rubbing, then his strength would be extremely strong, and he would be about to catch up with Qing Ling'er. ”
"Looking at that costume, it seems to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect. ”
"Elder Wan, Chen Mengsheng completed the competition so quickly, it's not bad. Yao Tang said with a smile.
"That kid, if you can't finish it in half an hour, don't say you're my disciple. ”
"Hehehe......"
Tsing Yi Qianying looked at the young man who was meditating with her eyes closed, and her heart was very happy.
Dang, the second sound came, and this round of competition ended.
Most people have hundreds of medicinal materials on the jade slips in front of them, and only a dozen people don't seem to have enough kinds of jade slips on the screen.
The Medicine Sect Elder stood on the round platform again and said lightly, "Check the medicinal properties." ”
As the words fell, more than a dozen young disciples of the Medicine Sect walked into the venue, both men and women, and they checked those jade slip pictures.
The people from the outer sect and the scattered cultivators were all surprised, the medicine sect deserved to be called the medicine sect, and the disciples of its sect had the ability to check the medicinal properties.
Those disciples' faces were indifferent, and they quickly swept the jade slip screen.
"Qingfengmen, Zhang Qingyang, hundreds of medicinal materials and medicinal properties are all right. ”
"Luoyun Valley, Song Qingyun, hundreds of medicinal materials and medicinal properties are all right. ”
......
"Loose cultivation, Zhang Quan, only ninety-one of the hundred kinds of medicinal materials were selected, and the medicinal properties of the three flavored medicinal materials were wrong. A young man in white said lightly, his face bitter to the monk who looked like a down-and-out scholar in front of him.
......
"Loose cultivation, Jade Dragon Dao, a hundred kinds of medicinal materials are right. An ethereal voice from a female disciple came out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but the target was not the female disciple, but a young man in the wind next to him.
"This guy is so good? I think he seems to have completed the competition in half an hour. ”
"Well, I didn't expect it, there are such powerful people in the scattered cultivation, no wonder the sect master has been telling us that 'there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky'. ”
Seeing this person, Yaotang's eyes froze.
Wan Changsong felt the abnormality of the medicinal soup, "What?"
Yao Tang didn't speak, but transmitted a voice, "That seems to be a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dao." ”
Hearing the transmission, Wan Changsong's face also changed, and then he returned to normal, and the transmission went back, "Hidden Dragon Dao? How could the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Dao come here, hasn't the Hidden Dragon Dao been cultivating in seclusion? Could it be that the disciple trial of the Hidden Dragon Dao has started again?"
"That's right, I think they joined the pharmacopoeia to send this signal. ”
"Hehe, this is just beautiful, once the disciple trial of the Hidden Dragon Dao begins, the situation of the Yongzhou monks will change again. ”
Several other great sect masters also looked at Jade Dragon Dao, their faces were a little solemn, especially the corpse woman sect master, and a trace of fierceness flashed in their eyes.
A scattered cultivation of hundreds of medicinal materials has the right medicinal properties, causing quite a stir.
The medicinal properties check continued, and those Medicine Sect disciples walked over one by one.
A female disciple of the Medicine Sect walked next to Chen Mengsheng, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she was very good-looking, Chen Mengsheng couldn't help but look at it twice, this scene was captured by the shadow of Tsing Yi who was secretly observing, she stomped her foot and said angrily: "Hmph, I know that I take advantage of others." ”
The female disciple with crooked eyebrows and eyes looked at Chen Mengsheng's jade slip picture, and said in a crisp voice: "The Immortal Sect, Chen Mengsheng, a hundred kinds of medicinal materials and medicinal properties are all right. ”
"It turns out that he is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and in the first few pharmacopoeia, the Immortal Sect was not outstanding. ”
"Brother, this time is different, didn't you hear what he called?"
"Chen Mengsheng, what's wrong?"
"You know the Danxia family, right?"
"Well, Elder Wan Chang Song Wan of the Danxia Family has a lot to do with our sect master, and like our sect master, he is one of the only three remaining three-rank Dan cultivators in Yongzhou. ”
"Then you don't know that Chen Mengsheng is a disciple of Elder Wan?"
"Oh, I remember, I heard that he won the first place in the Wanjia Alchemy Conference last time, and the process was a bit thrilling. At that time, it was rumored that if the disciples of the Wan family won the first place, the Great Elder of the Wan family would take away the control of the Wan family and challenge the authority of our Medicine Sect. ”
"Hehe, don't look at how many catties and taels you have, Elder Wan Changsong and Wan didn't speak, and a big elder can jump into the sky. ”
"I'm looking forward to this Chen Mengsheng, what kind of ability does he have to win the favor of Elder Wan? You also know that with such a high status as the sect master, he only fancies Qing Ling'er alone. ”
"Hehe, there should be a big gap between him and Qing Ling'er, after Qing Ling'er returned to the sect, he broke through the first grade to become a second-grade Dan Xiu, and this time the pharmacopoeia is still the first place in our medicine sect. ”
The female disciple with crooked eyebrows and eyes announced Chen Mengsheng's results, and Lianbu moved lightly to a person behind him, it was an old man, when Chen Mengsheng was rubbing the ninetieth medicinal materials and medicinal properties, the old man had already finished, which made him a little shocked, this old man should have understood the "Herbs" to an outrageous degree.
The female disciple with crooked eyebrows and eyes spoke softly: "Medicine family, medicine Wuji." With that, she opened her mouth wide and froze in place.
The onlookers also looked at the old man in unison.
Wan Changsong also looked at him intently, the medicinal soup looked at him lightly, and the surrounding masters also looked at him one after another, this formation was even greater than the scattered cultivation medicinal properties just now.
The old man drooped his eyelids, his face indifferent, as if the gaze around him had no effect on him at all.
"Yakuyaku?"
"The pharmacist is here to play the field?"
"How can it be Yao Wuji?"
"Who is Yao Wuji?"
"The important figure of the pharmacist, the second grade Danxiu. ”
Whispers can be heard all around.
"Hehe, this pharmacopoeia Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is interesting. ”
"Even Yao Wuji is here, it seems that this time the medicine family is menacing. ”
"What do you say the Medicine Sect should do?"
"Who knows, everyone knows the estrangement between the medicine sect master and the medicine family, the medicine family dares to send someone here, or the great god of Yao Wuji, I'm afraid this meeting today will not be easy to deal with." ”
The Medicine Sect elder fell from the stone platform, and he came to the female disciple and motioned for her to leave. Afterwards, he saluted respectfully, "I didn't know that the Yao Family Elder Wuji was coming, and he was not welcomed. ”
Yao Wuji didn't raise his eyelids, and his hoarse voice came around, "Don't talk so much nonsense, I'm just here to participate in the pharmacopoeia." ”
The Medicine Sect Elder looked at the Medicine Soup, the Medicine Soup nodded, and the Medicine Sect Elder bowed respectfully again and walked away.
The medicinal properties examination continued, and the results of the remaining few people were also announced, Zhang Heng had hundreds of medicinal materials, the medicinal properties of the three flavors were wrong, and Huang Yulong's hundred medicinal materials and medicinal properties were all correct. This time, the results of the three of them were good.
After the first round of competition, five people were eliminated, and the 100 kinds of medicinal materials they selected, less than 95 kinds of medicinal properties were accurate. The others have half an hour of pranayama, and after half a quarter of an hour, a new round of competition officially begins, and the disciples of the Medicine Sect will also participate.
