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

On June 6000st of the first year of the Renaissance, the preliminary round of the World Spiritual Profession and Monk Higher Education Institutions Inter-school League was grandly opened at the Zhongzhou World Alliance Arena. After fierce competition, a total of contestants from 60 major tracks including spiritual plants, spiritual martial arts, spiritual cooking, spiritual pills, and spiritual tools from eight continents will compete on the same stage, and the best 100 will win, that is, the top - of the major tracks can get a precious ticket to the semi-finals.

There are 13 people in the 17-610 age group where Yun Bai is, and they need to be ranked in the top 20 to enter the semi-finals. In other words, only 15 person can advance for every 16 to 1 people. Among these 610 people, except for more than people, the rest all wear the badge of spiritual plant masters, and three of them are third-grade! It seems that they are going to be serious this time!

Yun Bai was one of the few "conspicuous people" who didn't wear the Spiritual Plant Master badge among the 610 people. However, she didn't care about that. In her opinion, wearing the badge could intimidate the opponent, but not wearing the badge could also have an unexpected effect. She was more inclined to the latter, so she still let the third-grade badge lie quietly in the storage bracelet.

After a brief pre-race mobilization, the competition officially began. The first to fifth tracks, the 13-17 year old competition group, were held. The other contestants returned to their respective viewing areas to watch the competition together. Yun Bai's spiritual plant master belonged to the fourth track, so he had to compete in this group.

This arena covers a vast area. The stadium for Yun Bai's group alone is as big as a football field. It is filled with people, estimated to be no less than 360! The square is open-air. At this moment, the sun is shining on the huge cylindrical -degree black crystal display screen suspended ten meters above the center of the square. I don't know what this black crystal is made of, but it looks like a solar crystal panel. After absorbing enough energy, it begins to brighten and display information related to the game, and then turns into real-time images of the players in the stadium, ensuring that spectators in any direction of the stadium can clearly see the situation in each competition area in the stadium.

After the contestants took their positions, the host announced the content and rules of the competition. Finally, it was Yun Bai's group's turn to read out the competition topic - flowers that are not flowers, grass that are not grass, leaves that are not leaves, life in death, fruit or no fruit. The task is: know it, find it, and get it.

"Boom!" When hearing this topic, the audience suddenly burst into heated discussions. People who were not concerned were amazed, and those who had their own students or children participating in the competition had ugly expressions, and some people with bad tempers couldn't help but curse. In a word, this time the topic was really too tricky, too bad, and it could be called the most bizarre in history!

Yun Bai noticed that the expressions of her more than 600 competitors were not very good at this time. Some of the younger ones were even about to cry. In fact, Yun Bai herself felt a headache because she already knew the answer to the question - Zombie Crystal Lotus.

This is an extremely magical and rare spiritual plant. When it is still a seed, it will parasitize the embryo of an equally rare green centipede grass, absorbing its nutrients and gradually growing. Finally, it will suck the green centipede grass into an empty shell. At this time, it still looks like centipede grass, but in fact it has been "taken over" by the zombie crystal lotus, so it is called "flower is not a flower, grass is not a grass";

When the zombie crystal lotus grows further, it will break through the empty shell of the centipede grass and stretch out its leaves - this is its most beautiful moment. Its leaves are transparent and look like lotus petals. When all the leaves are stretched out, it looks like a crystal lotus, so pure and flawless. The leaves are like flowers, growing in the "corpse" of the centipede grass, so it is called "flowers are not flowers, leaves are not leaves, life in death".

So what is "existence or non-existence fruit"? This spiritual plant blooms only once in its life and bears fruit once. The fruit comes out when the flower falls, and after the fruit is formed, it turns into seeds and returns to the rootless water. Having fruit is equivalent to having no fruit, and having no fruit is also having fruit, so it is called "existence or non-existence fruit".

Its parasitic habit is like that of a zombie that sucks the blood of humans and animals, and its beautiful appearance is like a crystal lotus, hence the name "Zombie Crystal Lotus".

Because the zombie crystal lotus is very rare, and grows in the rootless water without light all year round, it is almost not discovered by humans. Therefore, many people have never even heard of the existence of this spiritual plant. Yun Bai was fortunate enough to get the lost spiritual plant manual of this world thanks to Long Qingtian, and was fortunate enough to read the relevant introduction in it.

Therefore, just the first task of "knowing it" is enough to stump a large number of people.

The most difficult part of this question is not that it is as obscure as a riddle, nor that the zombie crystal lotus is rare, but that it is difficult to "find it" and "get it". First, it is very difficult to find. Rootless water is water that falls from the sky. It is difficult for this water to gather and not disperse, not to mention that it has to gather in a large area in the land of eternal night. What a coincidence, there is green centipede grass growing in it, and what a coincidence, the green centipede grass is successfully parasitized by the zombie crystal lotus... The probability of this is almost the same as winning 100 million in the lottery.

What's worse is that the zombie crystal lotus cannot be touched at all. If you touch it, it will immediately melt into a pool of water. Sometimes, even if the air humidity changes significantly, it will immediately die in front of you, not to mention its fleeting fruit. Therefore, it is almost impossible to "get it".

But because of this, Yun Bai quickly regained her composure and calmness after a brief moment of confusion - a competition like this could not possibly give an unsolvable question to the contestants in the youngest age group, there must be another mystery... She stood there, seemingly in a daze, but in fact she was thinking hard.

Inside the venue, the reactions of the more than 600 contestants were varied. Some were depressed, some were angry, some were crying, some were beating their chests and stamping their feet. Of course, some gave up helplessly, some were at a loss... Some were in a daze like Yun Bai, and some were frowning and lost in thought...

The outside was still noisy, and the host's voice had been drowned out. In the contestant viewing area, Mu Yun was staring at Yun Bai, who was in a daze. He was worried about her, but also expected her to bring a surprise. Mu Yun was a fourth-grade spiritual medicine master, and he had a deep understanding of spiritual plants. He had guessed the topic, so he knew that Yun Bai had encountered a difficult problem this time. "Xiaoxuemei, what will you do next?..." Mu Yun's calm and deep eyes were filled with ripples, and Yun Bai's figure was all in them...

Just when everyone was at a loss and the crowd was in a commotion, the host's voice, which had been amplified twice, rang out again: "Everyone, please be quiet. The topic of this competition has not yet been announced." After the voice fell, the crowd gradually quieted down, and then the host continued: "This topic can be completed in three alternative scenarios. The contestants can choose one, enter it, and complete the task. The result will be counted in the competition score."

Then, Yun Bai saw three space tunnels appearing in the center of the stadium. At the entrance of each tunnel, there was a three-dimensional projection, which showed the appearance of the connection point on the opposite side of the tunnel.

"Sure enough, it won't make people search aimlessly. If alternative options are given, the scope will be much smaller." Yun Bai thought, carefully reading the introductions of the three alternative scenes.
