Chapter 66: The Trial of the Medicine Valley (2)
Everyone looked around with some confusion, not knowing who said this and challenged the authority of Medicine Valley.
I saw a childish fifth-layer young man walking out of the crowd, and said loudly: "Senior, I'm not disrespectful to the two seniors, it's just that I feel that this method is unfair." ”
"Oh!" said the middle-aged Taoist with a dark face, "Tell me, how is this method unfair?"
The young man continued: "As far as I know, many of you fellow practitioners here are children of families who have studied this method before, so of course it is not a problem to get good grades, which is unfair to us who are loose cultivators. ”
The Taoist looked at the young man, and said with a smile: "The family is also a resource, and the children who came out of the Xiuzhen family are already higher than your starting point, and this is not to blame anyone, and you don't have a good baby!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but the hook-nosed man was quite useful and smiled faintly.
The young man trembled a little when he heard this, and said angrily: "I thought that the Medicine Valley was the only fair place left in the Song Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be a place where the filth and dirt are hidden and dirty in the same stream as the family!"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the middle-aged Taoist sank, Sun Hao saw this, and secretly said that it was not good, the young man must have to suffer some hardships.
Sure enough, I saw a middle-aged Taoist, snorted coldly, flicked his big sleeves fiercely, and a wave of spiritual energy flew towards the young man.
Where is the opponent of the young man, he was barely blocked by this aura in the abdomen, screamed and flew out, fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
The middle-aged Taoist smiled coldly and said, "My Medicine Valley opened the valley this time to recruit disciples who really have alchemy qualifications, regardless of their background, just by their qualifications. But this kid didn't even pass the primary election, so he dared to make a big fuss here, it was really my medicine valley was nothing, and if I didn't punish it slightly, what was the dignity of my medicine valley! Now, there are still people who are dissatisfied with my trial?"
There are still people there who dare to speak, and the unqualified people are silent and leave the Medicine Valley, but the young man was thrown out by the disciples of the Medicine Valley like garbage, and his fate can be imagined.
There were about seventy or eighty of the remaining qualified people, all of whom were led by the disciples and walked towards the valley.
This medicine valley really deserves to be the first alchemy sect in the Song Kingdom, as soon as it enters it, there is a faint medicinal fragrance inside, looming in the aura.
Bai Yuxiang, who was walking with Sun Hao, took a deep breath and said, "It's really an alchemy holy land, one day of cultivation here is enough to reach the outside world for three days." ”
Sun Hao nodded noncommittally, and at this time, Huo Lao, who had not shown up for a long time, suddenly spoke: "What kind of hell is this place, and it dares to be called the holy land of alchemy! ”
When Sun Hao heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Huo Lao, have you fixed your soul body?"
Huo Lao nodded and said: "It's fixed, this time I can be regarded as completely out of the body, as long as the main body does not die, I will not be affected by the main body for a short time, and I can only wait until the future to rescue the main body." ”
Sun Hao nodded, and said in his heart: "Huo Lao, don't worry, if I have that strength in the future, I will definitely help you rescue the Fire Spirit Holy Monarch." ”
Huo Lao smiled a little disapprehantly, didn't say anything, and didn't seem to be counting on Sun Hao.
It didn't take long for Sun Hao and the others to be taken to a medicinal field, only to see that the elixir here was growing extremely luxuriantly, and the medicinal fragrance in the air was also strong.
The white-bearded old man looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This is the second level of the trial, smell the fragrance and know the medicine." ”
"Smell the fragrance and know the medicine?" Sun Hao couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
The white-bearded old man explained in a timely manner: "This level is a test of your understanding of the elixir, and after a while, you will choose the spirit grass at will in this medicine field, and you must say that each spirit grass has at least ten uses, and each person needs to choose three spirit grasses, and the one who says it first is preferred." ”
"This level adopts an elimination system, I only take the twenty people who are said first, and the rest are eliminated!"
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that so many people would be eliminated at this level at once.
When the white-bearded old man saw that everyone was clear, he ordered the selection to begin.
Everyone hurriedly began to choose, Sun Hao's heart tightened, he didn't know much about medicinal materials, he didn't know much about so many spirit grasses, let alone say ten uses, could it be that he was going to stop here.
At this time, he suddenly remembered Huo Lao, and said a little embarrassedly: "Huo Lao, can you do me a favor." ”
Huo Lao's voice said lazily: "I knew that you asked me, so I'll help you with this, although our demon clan doesn't know much about the method of alchemy, but I have lived for thousands of years, and I still know a lot of these basic spirit grasses." ”
Sun Hao was overjoyed, stepped forward quickly, and pulled up a spiritual grass at random.
"Caixin Grass, the basic spirit grass, can refine the Qi Pill, Xiao Huan Dan ......"
Sun Hao hurriedly remembered, and when Huo Lao finished speaking, he hurriedly picked up a spirit grass with small flowers.
"Monkey face flower is an auxiliary medicine for refining Zhuji Dan, and it can also refine Dawang Dan and drive away miasma ......"
It didn't take long for Sun Hao to finish selecting the three spirit grasses and stepped forward to report to the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man was also a little surprised, although these spirit grasses are all basic spirit grasses, but to name the ten uses of a spirit grass, it is not something that ordinary people can do, I didn't expect someone to come so soon.
He also thought that Sun Hao was just here to try his luck, and said angrily: "Come quickly, tell me about the use of the spirit grass in your hand." ”
Sun Hao then spoke: "This is Caixin grass, it ......"
Soon, Sun Hao finished introducing the use of the spirit grass in his hand, which was not bad at all, so that the old man also nodded secretly, thinking that Sun Hao was from that alchemy family.
He nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, what's your name?"
"Disciple Sun Hao. ”
"Sun Hao! I remember, you are standing behind me. ”
Sun Hao nodded, standing behind the old man, and at this time finally came the second person, it was the hook-nosed man, he was also a little surprised, he didn't expect someone to rush in front of him so soon.
However, this person's pharmacological level is also very powerful, three kinds of spirit grass, thirty kinds of uses, one is not bad, and he also stood with Sun Hao.
Bai Yuxiang was the third person to come, and he glanced at Sun Hao with some surprise, and his three spirit grasses were also said without a bad word.
There was a vacuum period in the back, and no one came for a long time, so it seems that this trial is still a little difficult.
After a long time, two people came together, and one of them said the wrong use of the spirit grass, so he could only go back with hatred to find the spirit grass he knew.
But as time went by, there were gradually more people, and since these people dared to come to participate in the trial of the Medicine Valley, they still had some background, and there were more than a dozen people slowly standing behind the white-bearded old man.
There are not many places left, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and many people even almost fight in order to grab places.
In the end, there were twenty people standing behind the old man, and although there were still people coming, the old man did not treat them all equally, and did not receive them.
These disciples who had no chance could only leave the medicine valley with hatred.
At this time, the white-bearded old man turned around, looked at the group of disciples behind him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Congratulations, you have become a disciple of my Medicine Valley." ”
Everyone was overjoyed that they finally didn't have to participate in these fearful trials.
"But......" the old man continued, "although you have entered the Medicine Valley, your trial is not over. ”
"You must know that my Medicine Valley is divided into three, six, nine and other disciples, and the most ordinary ones are also the disciples who account for more than half, that is, the medicine boys, they need to start from the most basic medicine collection and cultivation, and climb up step by step, they still have a long way to go from the alchemist. ”
"And further up, there is the alchemist's assistant medicine boy, this part of the people follow the alchemist, serve the alchemist, if you are lucky, you can be promoted to the alchemist in a year or two. ”
"And the highest level is also the core disciple of my Medicine Valley, they enjoy the best resources of the sect, and a lot of spirit grass is squandered by them, as long as their comprehension is okay, they will soon be promoted to official alchemists. ”
"And now, this trial you are going to participate in is to determine your place in the Medicine Valley!"
Everyone was a little excited, and they all looked forward to it, if they were selected as a core disciple, they would soon be able to become an admired alchemist.
The white-bearded old man looked at everyone's expressions, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This trial involves the core spell of my Medicine Valley, the Ripening Technique!"
Sun Hao couldn't help but move in his heart, he didn't expect that there was really such a spell, if this time it was really a test of the ripening of medicinal herbs, wouldn't there be no pressure to take himself!
I only heard the old man continue: "The ripening technique is the core spell of my medicine valley, and it is also the place where my medicine valley can settle down, every beginner disciple has the opportunity to learn once, as the name suggests, this method is born to mature the spirit grass." ”
"This trial is to test your mastery of this method, you have half an hour to learn this method, and then start the trial. ”
"As long as you can use this method to mature the spiritual grass for more than three years, you can become a core disciple! and those who have matured for more than one year can also become an assistant medicine child, and the rest are all ordinary medicine children. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded yes.
The white-bearded old man continued: "I want to remind you that no matter what kind of disciple you are going to become, before you become an alchemist, you will only have this one chance to learn this technique, so I hope you can cherish this opportunity, now, start learning this method." ”
After he finished speaking, he distributed a few jade slips to everyone, and everyone began to learn with some excitement.
But Sun Hao couldn't get excited, this method was a bit chicken for him.
Yu Jian said that this method varies from person to person, and the requirements for qualifications are extremely high, and most people can only rely on this method to mature the elixir for less than three months, which is basically of little use, and this method is extremely harmful to the caster, and it takes several months to cast a second spell every time.
Sun Hao is pregnant with the origin of wood, and the ripening spirit grass is much easier to use than this method, but he doesn't care much about this method. Moreover, the origin of the wood has not released Qihuang Qi for a long time, and I am afraid that it has accumulated a lot, and there is no problem in coping with this test.
It's just that the question now is what should be done to make Qi Huang's qi escape the eyes of these two foundation building monks.
