PNB Chapter 117: The Plant Prodigy Wang Daoyou
Chapter 117: The Plant Prodigy Wang Daoyou
Chapter 119: Fellow Daoist Wang, the Prodigy of Plants and Trees (Two-in-One)
Three days later, Zhao Qing sat alone by the clear pond.
Silently watching the fish swimming in the water.
Beside him lay his spiritual jade box, with the numbers engraved on it showing the progress of the past three days -
Only the secret functions of twelve kinds of grass fruits have been identified.
"call……"
At this moment, Zhao Qing sighed deeply.
This went on for three days, and the voice never reminded me not to spy on other alchemists.
If I continue to guess like this, it will be impossible for me to reach the B-level assessment.
Moreover, even if the rules are violated and the team is directly classified as Class C, the final result will not be much different.
It seems that I have no choice but to take an unconventional approach.
Zhao Qing nodded secretly and made a decision in his heart...
The fish in the clear pond swim happily, creating ripples.
The sunlight slanted into the pool, casting spots of light on the unknown jade stones at the bottom of the pool.
Fifty feet away, there was an alchemist who was bending over.
At this moment, he smiled and slowly dug out a spiritual herb... his lips opened and closed slightly.
Zhao Qing sat by the pool, staring carefully at the spirit fish in the clear pool.
At the same time, his spiritual consciousness shot out like a sharp arrow, and with the help of the art of communicating with the dead, it swept past.
The next moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
I have already memorized the appearance of that grass fruit.
"Life Palace..."
Zhao Qing silently withdrew his spiritual sense, and without any hesitation, he stood up and walked to another place.
In a clear canal beside a high mountain, there is an alchemist rising and falling in the clear stream.
He is carefully picking a vine from the mud.
Seventy feet away, Zhao Qing leaned against an ancient tree, looking up at the clouds rolling in the sky, his face thoughtful.
A moment later, he got the answer.
The vines in the water, azure in color, act on the foundation of the Tao...
In the west of the forest, a female cultivator jumped down from a tree carefully, fearing that she would accidentally damage the grass fruits.
Zhao Qing was walking and searching in the forest and happened to pass by this place without paying any attention.
His spiritual consciousness swept across, pausing briefly on its round and vibrating curve, and then he memorized the appearance of the two huge red fruits in his mind.
The outer skin is scarlet, the inner part of the fruit is snow-white, the whole fruit is round and somewhat soft...it acts on the Dantian.
He turned and looked to the other side.
The alchemist I just found should have picked some new grass fruits...
Zhao Qing wandered carefully among the mountains and rivers, watching the harvests of many alchemists.
Some got the answer right, and some got it wrong.
But that doesn't matter...
As long as you continue to accumulate, you will be able to identify a lot in the future.
Half a day passed in a flash.
Zhao Qing slowly retracted his scattered spiritual consciousness. At this moment, he only felt that the Mingtang was empty and there was very little spiritual consciousness left.
He stopped for a moment, recalled today's harvest over and over again, and after making sure that he had not mixed it up, he began his picking journey.
……
This is the fourth day of the trial, and the harvest is still poor.
Zhao Qing spent several hours to find seventeen kinds of Dancao, of which he only knew the standard answers for two.
The rest is still just guesswork...
Otherwise, you can only hold it in your hand and stare blankly. The act of putting it into the storage ring is considered as hoarding the cardamom, and will be directly classified as Class C.
……
On the morning of the fifth day, Zhao Qing, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling that the spiritual consciousness in the Mingtang had been fully restored, he showed joy on his face.
After taking out two fasting pills and swallowing them.
Started a new journey of invigilation.
……
This grass looks a bit like tongue orchid, but it is bright red...it actually works on turbid semen!
I have never seen this strip-shaped fruit before. Does it affect the soul?
This alchemist is such a jerk... He's gotten the answer wrong three times in a row. Doesn't he understand anything at all? Is he just guessing?
Zhao Qing silently memorized the appearance of the vegetable patch, turned around and slowly climbed the mountain.
At noon that day, his spiritual consciousness was exhausted again.
After a short pause, Zhao Qing began his journey of picking and identifying the fruits again.
But the harvest was still very small, and only five or six types of Dancao could be accurately identified.
After all, there are too many grasses and fruits in this mountain and water, and it is difficult to find the Dan grass that you can identify in a short period of time.
However, on the sixth day of the trial...
Zhao Qing strolled along the bank of the clear canal with a strange look on his face.
He noticed something unusual.
Fifty feet behind him, there was a small tail following.
It's been going on for half an hour...
If you can't fight during the trial, it only means that—
I am not the only one who relies on spiritual sense to cheat!
Zhao Qing pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the ground and silently recovered his consciousness.
Soon, the little tail disappeared.
……
The time came to the twelfth day.
Zhao Qing can now easily identify more than 300 kinds of elm grass.
However, his pressure was increasing.
Because there are too many people who rely on their spiritual sense to cheat!
The alchemists who can come to the Purple Pearl Holy Land to participate in the trial have more condensed spiritual consciousness than normal cultivators.
There will always be people who notice something unusual, and after a little thought, they will follow Zhao Qing's example and wander among the mountains and rivers all day long...
At this time, Zhao Qing sighed slightly.
Now many people are in the same situation as me, and the advantages I built up in the previous ten days are no longer so obvious.
Moreover, searching and picking Dancao is extremely time-consuming.
If I continue to wander around, I will just be competing with a group of screen-peeking dogs.
What's more... my progress in picking cardamom has fallen far behind others.
If it was an alchemist who picked the grass fruits normally... the number of grass fruits in his hand would be at least twice as much as mine.
Even if their recognition accuracy is lower, the final result will not be too different from mine.
Right now, half a day is spent on invigilation, which greatly delays the picking efficiency.
In the end, it is still possible that one will be classified as Class C because too few spiritual herbs have been picked and identified.
Zhao Qing felt heavy-hearted.
None of these 18,000 people are fools.
If you want to be among the top 10,000, but you don’t have real skills…
It would be difficult to rely solely on taking shortcuts.
At this moment, he racked his brains.
His thoughts raced as he carefully recalled the violations that had been directly assessed as Class C during this period of time.
The most serious offense, swallowing cardamom, is only classified as Class C... and there is no other punishment.
The plan had to change...
Zhao Qing leaned over, scooped up some clean water and washed his face.
My mind is full of confusion. If my aunt were here, maybe she could give me some advice...
An hour later.
His lifeless eyes gradually came into focus, and a slight smile appeared unconsciously at the corners of his lips.
At this moment, Zhao Qing thought of another unreliable plan.
However, that kind of behavior is likely to violate the rules.
but……
I have come this far, and if I still end up with a Class C rating, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
"call……"
Zhao Qing took another deep breath, took his jade box, and began to look for the cardamom carefully.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Qing, who was looking up at the blood-red thorns, raised his eyebrows slightly.
He felt the divine consciousness peeping in from afar...
Finally waiting for you!
Zhao Qing remained calm, and his spiritual sense instantly extended and locked onto the other party.
He's an alchemist in the late stage of Qi Refining... There are only forty-five spiritual carvings on the jade box!?
His cultivation level is higher than mine... should be the eighth level of Qi Refining, but the level is not important.
In any case, if a fight occurs, it will be directly classified as Class C.
Zhao Qing ignored the prying eyes from afar and carefully removed the dead vines entangled in the blood-colored thorns.
"Yinque."
He spoke softly and revealed the secret of the withered vine's function.
Then he put it into the jade box, and the spiritual engraving on it instantly changed - one hundred and thirteen.
Zhao Qing smiled, slowly turned around and walked towards the person who was peeping.
He chuckled softly and said, "Daoyou, are you busy?"
As the words came out, the alchemist not far away changed his expression instantly and turned away.
Zhao Qing's eyes flickered, and without the slightest hesitation, he spoke loudly, "Which one do you not know? I'll tell you!"
……
Sun Shixuan paused slightly, then slowly turned around and bowed, "Fellow Daoist!"
Zhao Qing nodded slightly.
He smiled kindly and walked closer to him.
This is a young alchemist who is in the late stage of Qi Refining. His spiritual awareness is quite condensed...but his affinity with plants is very poor.
So far, I have only identified forty-five species of Dancao.
At this moment, the alchemist in front of him bowed again and said, "Sun Shixuan from the Sun family of Thunder Emperor Province, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!"
Zhao Qing thought for a moment and introduced himself...
Should he be a member of the clan?
He pondered for a moment and said, "Qu Yunzhou, Wang Teng of the Wang family."
"I see that fellow Daoist has a very strong spiritual awareness. It's a pity that he failed in the first level of the trial..."
Sun Shixuan was startled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "My spiritual awareness... is still far behind that of Fellow Daoist Wang."
Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head, his eyes swept to his side, and whispered, "Daoist Sun, wait a moment!"
He slowly walked to a cloud grass and muttered to himself, "It looks a bit like the Soul-Separating Grass, but with a chilling aura..."
Zhao Qing slowly leaned over and watched carefully.
Then, spiritual energy surged, stirring up the spiritual roots of the earth and wood, and completely removed the spiritual grass along with its roots...
Under Sun Shixuan's gaze, he put the cloud grass into the jade box.
At the same time, he answered the secret of the body it affected: "Delusion!"
The spiritual carvings on the jade box flashed and changed.
One hundred and fourteen!
Zhao Qing slowly raised his head, looked directly into Sun Shixuan's eyes, and said with a smile, "The trial still has more than half a month left. If I have the chance to encounter this Dancao, I think it will be of some help to Fellow Daoist Sun."
Does this cloud grass act on delusion?
Sun Shixuan slowly frowned. After a moment of contemplation, he bowed and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Wang, please speak frankly."
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I'm just on this side of the mountain, with the Qingqu Canal as the boundary. I won't wander too far."
"Fellow Daoist Sun, you have picked some grass fruit. You can temporarily put aside your speculation and come to me for an answer."
Zhao Qing's true intentions were revealed.
Zizhu Tower asked me to come and pick Dancao, using the B-level reward as bait.
Then you can also find someone else to help you with the work, also using the Class B reward as bait!
Sun Shixuan's face showed understanding, and he instantly understood Zhao Qing's intention.
After a brief moment of thought, he responded, "Let me think about it. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll probably have to trouble Fellow Daoist Wang."
"With Fellow Daoist Wang's insight and knowledge, why would he still act this way... But is it for that A-level spot?"
A-level quota?
No, I'm afraid that I'll be classified as Class C.
