Welcome to the Happy Village in the Spiritual Realm of the Great Universe!

The assessment for a first-grade spiritual plant master is very similar to the entry-level examination, except that the requirements have been raised on the original basis.

In the first round, the affinity of wood attribute spiritual power is higher than 7, and the affinity of earth and water attributes is not lower than 3.

After passing the first round, the second round of assessment is the advanced knowledge of spiritual plant masters. You have to answer 3,000 questions within two hours, and you will pass if you get more than 60% of the questions right.

The third round of practical exercises mainly examines eight aspects of daily maintenance, treatment, and advancement of first-grade spiritual plants. The examiner will randomly select four contents, and the candidates still need to demonstrate on the spot, and the five examiners will score on the spot. There is a requirement here. If the average score of one or more of them fails, even if the total score passes, it will be treated as a failure.

"Hello, examiner. I am Yun Bai, examiner number 8." Yun Bai greeted the five examiners as usual. However, this time he did not receive a kind and gentle response, but heard a cold voice saying:

"Hurry up and pick a question." The person who spoke was the examiner sitting in the middle, an old lady with a stern expression and an unsmiling manner.

Yun Bai didn't take it seriously. She had seen all kinds of people before, and based on her experience, she guessed that the old lady in front of her was probably a person who was demanding, rigorous, and detail-oriented. She might not be easy to please, and her standards were relatively high, but once she approved of someone, she would take extra care of that person. With this guess, Yun Bai secretly became more cautious, and reminded herself again to be serious and cautious, and strive for excellence.

This time, Yun Bai only had one question: There were three spiritual plants on the scene, namely, the first-grade primary red fox Veronica, the first-grade intermediate long night butterfly grass, and the first-grade high-grade firecracker bamboo. She needed to change the soil for each of these three spiritual plants within 30 minutes.

Yun Bai handed the test paper to the chief examiner with both hands, and saw a hint of teasing in her cold eyes. The other four examiners were also surprised when they saw the question - this test paper was set by the chief examiner himself. It has been eleven years since the question was set. However, during this period, almost all candidates who drew this question failed, and it therefore earned the nickname "Thunderbolt".

What is so difficult about this question?

First of all, candidates need to have a full understanding of the characteristics and habits of the three spiritual plants. The red fox Veronica likes soil with abundant fire and earth spiritual power. It especially likes bright places and hates darkness. But because it lives deep in volcanoes all year round, the light it likes is firelight, not sunlight. It especially hates being touched by humans, and especially hates human hand sweat;

Night Butterfly Grass likes black humus soil and is particularly dependent on soil spiritual power. In contrast to the Red Fox Velvet, it likes dark places, especially the mid-level Night Butterfly Grass, which almost "dies in the light". Some people don't know its habit and change the soil in the daylight, but it often dies before the change is completed. The stamens of Night Butterfly Grass can secrete a weak toxin that does not cause much harm to the human body, but if you accidentally touch it, you will immediately get a rash that is so itchy that it will kill you.

The flower of the firecracker bamboo is as its name suggests. The leaves are a bit like cypress, but they are dotted with many small bright red fruits - in fact, they are not fruits, but flower buds. The flower buds of the firecracker bamboo rarely open, and they look like small fruits, which are only about the size of a grain of rice. But don't underestimate it. As long as you are not careful, it will explode automatically. Being blown up by this small fruit will definitely leave you with a deep memory. What is particularly interesting is that this kind of firecracker bamboo cannot see water throughout its life. Even if a little water splashes on its plants, the small firecracker will explode immediately. Therefore, they like sandy soil without any water, preferably fine sand that has been exposed to the sun and has no water element at all.

The second difficulty is that these three spiritual plants are very sensitive, which is a bit like the fire mushroom, but the fire mushroom will explode if touched, while these three will die immediately if you touch them improperly. This requires the spiritual plant master to have a very delicate control of spiritual power and spiritual plant techniques, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted if you are not careful.

The third difficulty is that the three plants have a unique feature, that is, the characteristics of different grades are also different. The three plants of grade 1, initial, intermediate and advanced levels that Yun Bai has to face are the most delicate and have the most "problems", so they are quite difficult to serve.

The fourth difficulty is also the most troublesome point. They are not common. To be more precise, each one is more unpopular than the other. Many candidates have never even seen them in books before taking the test, let alone seeing real plants. Therefore, they can only bite the bullet and follow the daily spiritual plant care methods. The result is predictable.

This question can be put into the third-grade and fourth-grade examinations without any problem, as long as the first-grade spiritual plants are replaced with the corresponding grades. However, because the chief examiner is very authoritative, this question always stands firm in the first-grade spiritual plant master examination.

"Let's get started. Here are 300 kinds of materials, you can choose the appropriate ones to use." The middle-aged female examiner sitting on the far left reminded. She looked at Yun Bai with sympathy in her eyes - kinds of materials should be considered the fifth difficulty. In half an hour, it is already difficult to recognize these materials, not to mention that many of them are very similar and very easy to confuse.

"Okay." Yun Bai replied politely, and then began her operation slowly. In fact, she had only seen the introduction of these spiritual plants once, and because they were extremely rare, she only glanced at them and had never seen the real plants. However, she was not in a hurry at all, because she was a person with divine power!

Yun Bai walked to the 300 kinds of materials, pretending to distinguish and select them, but in fact she was trying to buy time to "chat" with the three spiritual plants. She had a natural attraction to the spiritual plants, and when the spiritual plants saw her, they were like bees seeing honey, and immediately passed on their joyful emotions. Then, the three spiritual plants introduced her carefully and enthusiastically, even the details that were not written in the book were not left out. Then, they guided Yun Bai to choose the right soil, and quickly changed the soil and pots with extremely light hands.

In order to help Yun Bai achieve good results, the red fox Veronica grew a third furry red tail, the long night butterfly grass released fluorescent purple butterfly shadows that glowed on the black curtain, and the firecracker bamboo made the flower buds that are rarely seen in a century bloom, and suddenly the whole room was filled with a sweet fragrance that made people intoxicated.

"Impeccable!" These four words appeared in the minds of the four examiners at almost the same time. Then, they all looked at the chief examiner sitting in the middle.

"Fair enough." The old lady was still very frugal with her words. But Yun Bai carefully noticed that the thin lips that were originally tightly pressed together had now slightly raised. "Fair enough" was the highest praise that the four examiners had heard from the examiner so far.

Because the test results were announced on the spot, those who passed the test would be registered on the spot, and a badge representing the identity of a first-class spiritual plant master would be issued on the spot, so Yun Bai waited for the result where he was, while at the same time wondering in his heart how he was going to ask for three spiritual plants as pawn from such a serious old lady?

I must complete the formalities and get the badge first, so that even if I get scolded, I won't worry about affecting the test results. Yun Bai made up his mind and waited for the examiner's instructions.

"Yun Bai, you passed the first round of assessment. You passed the second round with 2894 points. You passed the third round with 90 points. The final result: passed." The examiner announced after a while. Yun Bai was happy, but he didn't dare to show it. He continued to wait for the next step. Sure enough, the old lady saw that Yun Bai was able to remain calm after passing the exam, and there was a hint of appreciation in her stern eyes.

"Come forward, register, and sign." Yun Bai did as he was told. Then, he took the small box handed over by the examiner with both hands. Inside was a dark golden nine-section dragon bamboo badge. The bottom section of the dragon bamboo was inlaid with a small golden green crystal the size of a rice grain, which was actually made of wood essence beads! It was the symbol of the spiritual plant master's rank. When assessing a higher rank in the future, the badge would be inlaid with small wood essence beads of the corresponding rank in sequence until all nine sections of the dragon bamboo were inlaid!

"Thank you, examiner!" Yun Bai was excited as she held the important badge in her hand. While thanking the five examiners, she was still worried about how to ask for the three spiritual plants. Just as she was worried, the examiner's voice sounded again:

"Take the three pots of spiritual plants with you. It's a rare opportunity to escape, don't let others ruin them."
