The system takes me to pull hatred

The sound of the alchemy furnace echoed throughout the square, and the alchemists participating in the competition were all solemn and opened their examination papers one after another.

Most of the two hundred alchemists are over 30 years old, and some are in their 50s and [-]s. They have been alchemists for several years, and their knowledge of vegetation is obviously much better than that of novices.

It can be said that if these people leave the Dragon and Phoenix Sect and go to some small families, they will definitely be regarded as alchemy masters and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Even so, none of them showed any slack in the face of the first round of basic knowledge of grass and trees.

Because they knew that the Danfeng Grand Competition was not as simple as an ordinary competition.

Ling Chen sat in front of the alchemy table without any nervousness. Although it was his first time to participate in this kind of pill competition, the first round of basic knowledge of vegetation was too simple for him.

The "Dan Jue" rewarded by the system last time contained countless knowledge about plants and trees, and the "Dan Jue" basically contained the vegetation in the world of cultivating immortals.

Turning to look at Xuanyuan Yaoyao and Gongsun Wan'er, they have already opened the scroll and started to answer.

Even though they were answering, the posture of the two women was still elegant, attracting more than half of the audience's attention.

The eyes of the other group were focused on a red-haired alchemist. This person had a cold face, and his expression was full of strangers not to enter. Answering on the Internet, the knowledge of vegetation is very proficient.

"This guy seems to be called Tuoba Congming, he is Danfeng's direct disciple." Ling Chen squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at Zuoqiu Qiu on the right front.

This was the last disciple of Danfeng himself, but the other party, like himself, did not answer, but was watching other people.

As if sensing something, Zuo Qiuqiu's eyes met Ling Chen's in the air.

The two looked at each other without speaking.

Seeing that many people started to answer the questions, Ling Chen didn't hesitate, and immediately opened the scroll.

In the very center of the scroll, there is a title written, and there is nothing else besides this title.

Obviously, only after answering this question can the next question be answered.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen looked at the question.

"The appearance, smell, and function of dried Xun grass."

With just one glance, Xun Gancao's relevant knowledge instantly appeared in Ling Chen's mind, and he immediately took up a pen and wrote on the scroll: "Appearance: The leaves are like locust leaves, one or two feet high, and the purple flowers bloom in July like winter, and they are strong. Make horns like Bi beans, with long roots, three or four feet, variable in thickness, red skin, with beams on top, and thin roots under the beams."

"Odor: sweet, flat, non-toxic, cool when raw, taste bad, warm when roasted, thin and strong, rising and floating, yang."

"Effects: Cold and heat evil qi in the five viscera and six fu organs, strengthen muscles and bones, grow muscles, increase strength, treat golden sores, and detoxify."

It only took about 30 seconds to finish writing. The moment I stopped writing, the scroll turned green, and the second question appeared immediately.

"What is Leng Huangqi?"

Ling Chen felt no pressure, and wrote again: "Qi, Changye, Huangqi is yellow in color, cold in body surface, and is the length of tonic, so it is called Leng Huangqi, the root is two or three feet long, single stem, or It grows in clusters, the branches are two or three inches away from the ground, and its leaves are sparsely fern-shaped, and it is like a thorn seedling. It blooms yellow and purple flowers in mid-July, and its fruits are pods, about an inch long. The skin breaks like cotton, so it is called cotton yellow."

"What is drawn in the picture?"

Ling Chen said at his fingertips: "Vine shrubs, several meters high; branches slightly grayish red. Leaves and flowers are thin papery, fruit papery or slightly thicker, lanceolate or narrow and long oval, 4-7 cm long, 1.5 cm wide -2 cm, apex acute or short acuminate, with ciliated serrations on the margin, broad cuneate base; petiole slender, 3-6 mm long. Inflorescences are long and slender, mostly gathered at the top of branchlets, forming many flowers, Each cyme has a slender stalk, 4-6 cm long."

"What is the breeding and cultivation method of Laoya persimmon?"

Ling Chen came here with a pen: "Sow and reproduce, pick the ripe fruits, wash the seeds and dry them, soak them in hot water for 48 hours, pick them up, put them in a leaky object, cover them with double gauze, and spray the seeds every day. Water it once until the seeds open and germinate."

"Cultivation is divided into three steps. The first step is to fertilize. After the new shoots emerge, apply decomposed fertilizer solution once a day. The second step is watering. To make the pot soil wet, water it thoroughly every night. The third step is pruning. One is before germination in spring, and it is easy to germinate new shoots on the branches after cutting at this time. The other is to cut off the overgrown branches in spring in summer to maintain a good ratio and make the autumn buds shrink back and make the branches compact. The third is to wait until autumn After thickening and pruning, the spring buds will be bred, and the autumn pruning should pay attention to retain the fruiting branchlets, so as to facilitate the fruiting of the female plant."

Time passed by second by second, and the entire Longfeng Square maintained a quiet atmosphere.

The four elders sitting cross-legged next to the colorless alchemy stove are like sculptures. From the first round of basic knowledge of vegetation to the present, they have not stepped forward to review the answers of the two hundred alchemists.

But the alchemists participating in the competition did not dare to cheat, because they knew that the alchemy fragrance permeated from the colorless alchemy furnace, and the alchemy fog transformed into the eyes of the four elders, whoever dared to cheat would be severely punished. punish.

After a while, 10 minutes passed.

The four direct disciples never stagnate for a moment, as if the titles on the scrolls are completely pediatrics to them.

Of course, everyone also noticed the fifth person outside the four, that is Ling Chen.

This guy's answering speed is very fast, even scarier than the four personal disciples. Basically, as soon as the question comes out, he can write the answer without a trace of hesitation, as if he had memorized the answer in advance.

Soon, another 10 minutes passed, and everyone was absorbed in answering the questions. Doubt and confusion gradually appeared in the eyes of many people. Obviously, the following questions began to become more and more difficult.

The four direct disciples also began to frown, and the speed of answering with pens gradually slowed down.

Only Ling Chen's speed remained the same, but faster, as if these problems were no different from mental retardation in his eyes.

To be honest, these questions are really mentally handicapped, because they are too simple, even simple Ling Chen doesn't want to answer them.

Perhaps only Ling Chen can experience the feeling of the answer jumping out of his mind at a glance.

Time passed by second by second, and more and more alchemists were thinking hard, sweating profusely on their foreheads.

Finally, after half an hour, there was an alchemist with a pale complexion, who answered three questions incorrectly in succession, and was disqualified from answering the questions.

One minute after this person was disqualified from answering the question, another alchemist lost his qualification to answer the question, and temporarily left the alchemy table with unwillingness and bitterness.

There is no way, the answer is that the back is full of unfamiliar vegetation, some of which they have never seen before, so they can only rely on deduction.

As the final point of the exam approached, more and more alchemists lost their qualifications to answer the questions. They stared at the questions on the scroll in astonishment, with bewildered faces and dazed eyes, and finally left the field temporarily helplessly.

The later questions were really too difficult, completely exceeding their understanding.

Alas, this is the end of a weak foundation!
The four direct disciples including Xuanyuan Yaoyao also became hesitant, and the topics displayed on their scrolls changed from familiar to unfamiliar. Fortunately, the four of them have a relatively high level of knowledge and can conduct a series of reasoning to get the answer. It just takes longer than before.

On the other hand, Ling Chen, at this moment, he was so relaxed that he didn't seem to be answering a question at all, more like he was playing.

His movements of picking up the pen are smooth and smooth, and the whole person looks like picking flowers from willows, and he has the temperament of a poet.

Soon, the 10-minute countdown began.

Looking at Dan's table, there are only ten people left answering the questions.

Among these ten people, excluding the four direct disciples and Ling Chen, the other five were all gritted their teeth and bit the bullet to answer the questions.

They really wanted to give up, but when they saw the competitor next to them still insisting, the giving up in their hearts dissipated immediately, as if they were going crazy, they desperately thought about the answers to the questions given by the book.

The square is still quiet, but in the quiet, it is full of impatience.

When the 5-minute countdown came, there were only five people left in the square.

The four direct disciples and Ling Chen!
At this time, the questions on the scroll had become extremely complicated, especially some medicinal herbs that were easily confused.

Except for Ling Chen, the faces of the other four began to turn pale.

The investigation of the basic knowledge of vegetation does not consume much mental power, but the continuous investigation is different. What's more, in the case of this kind of topic becoming more and more perverted, the consumption of mental power when concentrating on it is at least double than before. .

In the penultimate 4 minutes, Zuo Qiuqiu failed.

He was the weakest among the four direct disciples, but no one thought that he would leave the field earlier than Ling Chen.

Seeing that Ling Chen could go together with Xuanyuan Yaoyao, Tuoba Congcong and Gongsun Wan'er, Zuoqiuqiu felt extremely aggrieved.

He is a direct disciple, but he is not as good as an ordinary alchemist who is not well-known in terms of basic knowledge of plants and trees?

shame!

"It must be that this kid's topic is easy, he really is lucky." Zuoqiuqiu's supporters curled their lips and muttered.

The person next to him chuckled: "A certain person really can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. Every year, the topics of the Danfeng Grand Competition are all unified propositions. There is no easy thing to say. It is something that a three-year-old child of the Dragon and Phoenix Sect knows. you do not know?"

"You..." This person's complexion was ashen, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only snort coldly, and said no more.

In the penultimate 3 minutes, Xuanyuan Yaoyao also failed.

Although she is Danfeng's direct disciple, she is not as smart as Gongsun Wan'er and Tuoba when it comes to alchemy abilities.

Because she majored in Martial Arts, she is one of the few in the Dragon and Phoenix Sect who has both alchemy and martial arts, and has won the number of personal disciples in both Alchemy and Martial Arts.

When she left the venue, she raised her head and looked around the Dan table, and found that besides Tuoba Congcong and Gongsun Wan'er, there was another person who could sit at the Dan table and answer the questions of the scroll. She couldn't help being curious.

But when she saw who this person was, she was immediately stunned, her face full of disbelief.

"Senior Lingling?!"
