Chapter 103.
Brother Xiu shook his head, then said, ”It is indeed extremely difficult for a casual cultivator to want a high-level technique, and the price is also very high.
I see that you are also a person with heart and ambition, so you might as well consider an Immortal Technique Sect.
In a sect, there could be a shortage of everything, just not a shortage of techniques.
Not to mention advanced five elemental techniques, top level five elemental techniques, would never be lacking.”
“This I naturally know.”
tan san shook his head and said.
The problem was, was the sect that easy to enter?
Even if he had the Water Cloud Order on him, with his five elemental spirit root qualification, he wouldn’t be able to enter.
The only way to use this ladder to enter was to add the secondary position on his body, the status of a first-order mid-grade Spiritual Planter.
As in the previous life into the world’s top 500, college education, even the door can not enter, only with a skill, with the introduction of special talents, others may be included.
A reason.
Only the body has a skill, others may be able to see.
Without a skill, either try to struggle, or can only lie flat, fall easy.
After bidding farewell to Brother Xiu, tan san then walked towards the Spirit Plant Hall in large strides.
Today’s Spirit Plant Hall was much more lively than usual.
At the examination site, dozens of cultivators were gathered, and to tan san’s surprise, he also saw a familiar face at the site.
Zhao brothers.
With his previous general, are planted at the foot of the Changling Mountain spirit field, but the two brothers cultivation is higher, and planted medicinal fields, has always been less with ordinary spirit farmers to come and go.
Until the last chaotic night, sheltered many spirit farmers, tan san in the other party’s invitation to help them get rid of insects, only more interactions.
“Zhou Chang …… Zhou Fellow Daoist, I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for a while, you have also practiced the fourth level of qi.”
There were only thirty or so people in total, and the Zhao brothers quickly saw him and walked over as well, of which Zhao Qiang had wanted to call him by his name, and after sensing that his cultivation level was already comparable to his own, he immediately changed his tone.
“Fellow Daoist Zhao Qiang, Fellow Daoist Zhao Jie.”
tan san didn’t deliberately hide his cultivation, and when he saw the two of them, he also greeted them and said, “Good luck, lucky breakthrough.”
“Fellow Daoist Zhou this time, is he also participating in the Spirit Plant Master Examination?”
Zhao Jie asked from the side as well.
“You guys are also ……”
tan san was puzzled, he had previously thought that the two of them had long been Spirit Plant Masters.
“I’ve taken the test five or six times, but this time, my brother is still a bit sure of himself, and I’m a bit worse, so I’m just trying.”
Now that the realms were comparable, Zhao Qiang had also become much more amicable, unlike before when he was so hard to reach.
“Not necessarily, for so many years, it’s been stuck on the Gengjin Finger, which doesn’t have a metallic spiritual root, cultivating this spell is indeed a bit too much effort.
All these years, for this Spirit Planter Examination, the two of them have spent quite a lot of spirit stones before and after.
Luckily, if one becomes a Spirit Plant Master, the Spirit Plant Hall will give three acres of spirit fields to cultivate for free, so it’s worth it.”
Zhao Jie humbly waved his hand, and then also said with emotion and expectation.
“But Fellow Daoist Zhou came to participate in the examination at such a young age, so I guess the confidence isn’t small.”
Zhao Qiang followed up and also asked curiously.
“I’m just trying it out as well.”
tan san said with a humble smile.
“That’s also true, it’s good to try, so you’ll be sure next time.
Unlike that one, I heard that he is the disciple of high-level Spirit Plant Master Gu Qianhe, I heard that he is highly skilled in Spirit Planting, and he threatened to pass with Spirit Seeds at the third level early on, so I guess becoming a Spirit Plant Master is already a done deal.”
Zhao Jie couldn’t help but pat tan san’s shoulder as a sign of comfort, then looked at a cultivator surrounded by the crowd in the distance and said with an envious face.
“Yeah, try it first, familiarize yourself with the process, and then next time when you’re sure, you can pass the test in one fell swoop.
You’re still young anyway, there’s plenty of opportunities.”
Zhao Qiang followed suit and said comfortingly.
“That’s what I think too.”
tan san had no choice but to answer so, and his gaze also looked at the man.
He looked to be in his mid-twenties, his face was somewhat ordinary, but his eyes had a godly look to them, and even though he was being touted, he didn’t show too much pride, standing in the crowd and coping with the situation quite appropriately.
“Gao Mingyi.”
tan san’s eyes moved slightly as he recognized this person.
When tan san had been an apprentice within the Spiritual Plantation Hall before, this person had already risen to prominence and was often compared to him, being a leader-like figure amongst the Spiritual Plantation Hall apprentices at that time.
Especially after hearing that he had been spotted by a first-grade high-level Spirit Plant Master, his reputation jumped to the peak.
Many Spirit Plant Hall apprentices instantly looked up to him as a role model.
tan san’s predecessor was also envious at that time.
Nowadays, he did not expect to participate in this Spiritual Plant Master’s examination with him.
Unconsciously, the examination time arrived.
With the arrival of the five examiners, the original murmurs were then suppressed.
tan san stood in the crowd and also heard some of the chatter, “It’s Spiritual Plant Master Yang Ping, I didn’t expect that the one presiding over the examination this time would be his old man.”
“In addition to Yang Ping, there is also Spiritual Plant Master Liu Yuanqing, Liu Yuanqing is the newly promoted first grade high level Spiritual Plant Master within the Spiritual Plant Hall, I heard that he has recently participated in the cultivation of a new type of Spiritual Rice, saying that it is a rare type of Spiritual Rice that has been lost for nearly a thousand years, he is very busy, I didn’t expect that he would also be free to preside over the Spiritual Plant Master’s examination?
So it seems that this time’s examination, the specifications are very high?”
“Two first grade high rank Spiritual Planters, and two first grade middle rank Spiritual Planters, of course the specifications are high.
I heard that there’s a reward for being the first in this examination.”
“Doesn’t the first place in the examination have a reward every time?
I remember last month it was a second grade Spirit Seed, and the one who won first place last month was Wu Qiong, who was directly accepted as a disciple by a high rank Spirit Plant Master ……”
“This time is different, the Spirit Plant Hall took out a Qing Yuan Order.”
“Qing Yuan Order?”
“This is an entry token that can directly enter the Qingyuan Sect.”
At once, the surrounding faces were solemn, revealing a look of surprise, and one by one, their gazes became fiery.
“Hehe, this Qingyuan Order, what does it have to do with you guys?
This is clearly prepared for Gao Mingyi.
It’s no wonder that he threatened early on that he wanted to take first place, it seems that he got the news a long time ago and regards this Qingyuan Order as his own.”
“I didn’t expect that for this examination, there is such a good thing.
The Qingyuan Order, ah, by using this you can directly enter the Qingyuan Sect and become a disciple of the sect.
Unfortunately, we’re just running along, in the end, this Qingyuan Order, is definitely that Gao Mingyi’s.
Even this reward, it’s his master Gu Qianhe applying to the top, specifically reserved for him as a disciple.”
Zhao Qiang also heard the people around him talking and said in a sour tone.
“No wonder there are so many more people participating in the examination this time, than usual.
However, such a good thing is destined to have no chance with us, so it’s useless to think about it more.”
Zhao Jie, who was on the side, followed suit and opened his mouth, and in turn, was somewhat candid.
His own family knew their own business, whether he could pass the examination this time, he was not fully sure, how dare he ask to win the first place in the examination.
“That’s not certain.”
tan san’s gaze narrowed slightly as he said softly.
The Zhao brothers didn’t care about tan san’s words and only thought that there were other experts in the crowd.
Of course, there were indeed several sure-footed cultivators who were rubbing their fists and planning to show off their skills.
They would never let that Gao Mingyi, specialize in beauty.
After all, spirit plant master assessment, not limited to age, many people spirit plant experience can also be very rich, spirit plant three arts after practicing hard, can also not bad.
“Okay, everyone enter.
The first assessment, is the spiritual plant knowledge assessment, there is a paper on the desktop, you answer the paper according to the question, the paper score of one hundred, sixty to be considered qualified, qualified through, before you can participate in the second assessment.”
Immediately afterward, first grade high level spiritual plant master Yang Ping opened his mouth and said in greeting.
Only then did the group of people end their discussion, and under the leadership of a few examination officers, they entered a wide field.
In the middle of the field, there was a small table with not only the corresponding number written on it, but also a sheet of paper, which was obviously the very question for this time’s examination.
tan san glanced at the enrollment voucher, number seven, and then walked over to the corresponding desk.
“Let’s begin, you have half an hour to answer the questions.
At the end of answering the questions, we will correct the papers on the spot.
Then it’s on to the next round of examination.”
Only after seeing that everyone was seated did Yang Ping open his mouth.
The two middle-rank Spiritual Planter Examiners, on the other hand, then went down to the field and patrolled amongst the candidates to prevent anyone from cheating.
“I didn’t expect that after all the Immortal Cultivation, there would still be the experience of returning to the examination hall.”
Seeing all this, tan san could not help but show a hint of tears and laughter on his face.
This exam, it was his strong point.
Typical of a small town question maker’s origins, he would not be nervous at all.
His eyes fell on top of the paper, which was filled with some basic questions about spiritual plant planting and cultivation.
Good thing that before the exam, he still reviewed in advance, many years of planting, but also have experience, a piece of answer down, basically did not encounter what can not answer the situation.
What’s more, there are multiple choice questions on it.
This is, even more convenient.
In the time it took to burn incense, he had pretty much answered the paper.
Of course, in the spirit of caution, he still started to check it from beginning to end.
“Teacher, I’ve finished answering.”
It was at this moment that a voice came.
But it was Gao Mingyi who directly stood up and opened his mouth.
And as he opened his mouth, there were soon several more people, who similarly opened their mouths, and then one by one, under the attention of the crowd, they handed over their test papers to the front of the stage, in front of the several examiners.
tan san didn’t make any mistakes, and after checking to make sure there was nothing missing, he followed behind a female cultivator and handed in the papers together.
The matter of correcting the papers was naturally done by the two middle-ranked spiritual planters.
Because they were all relatively simple basic general knowledge questions, the corrections were quickly completed.
Most of the thirty-five candidates were cultivators above the third level of qi cultivation, many were at the fourth or fifth level of qi cultivation, and only two were at the second level of qi cultivation, so for this kind of memorization-based topic, even if they made mistakes, there would only be one or two, and it wouldn’t be so bad that they wouldn’t be able to fail the exam.
Therefore, all of them were able to pass the examination.
tan san finally looked at his own paper score, but he did not expect to get a perfect score, and his face showed a hint of a smile.
“Next, is the second examination.
For this assessment, the test is the three Spiritual Planting Arts, that is, the three spells of Spiritual Rain Art, Catalyzing Art and Gengjin Finger.
Spiritual Rain Art is fine, the casting range is half an acre, it should be enough, Geng Jin Finger can also pierce through gold and stone, within one zhang, where to hit, it is this catalyzing art, only three years ago, although this three years have not practiced less, but want to pass the test, it is estimated to be difficult enough.”
Zhao Qiang came together in front of tan san and inevitably said with some nervousness.
“What is the casting time of your Hypnotizing Spell?”
tan san had known for a long time that other people’s judgment of the advancement of various spells was not as clear as his own, not to mention the division of proficiency, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, and consummation.
They could only judge whether their spells were purely practiced by how much they consumed, and the effect and power of the spells they cast.
And this pure proficiency was a very vague concept.
Proficiency could be pure, and so could minor accomplishments.
The great accomplishment, almost instantaneous, naturally, even if cultivated to ‘great accomplishment’, the general cultivator will not even think about cultivating to improve after cultivating the spell to this realm.
Because, in their opinion, this is the manifestation of cultivating spells to the limit.
Very few people, continued to waste their time on the same spell. It was also for this reason that Zhou Qiang did not have an obvious judgment of the spells he had mastered.
“Three breaths.
In this regard, I am far inferior to my brother, who only needs one and a half breaths.”
Zhao Qiang even said.
“Then it shouldn’t be difficult to pass this examination.”
tan san silently calculated and judged that his Hypnotism should be at the Proficient level, and couldn’t help but open his mouth.
As for his brother, Zhao Jie, the Hypnotism Art should be at the minor achievement level.
“Alright, the second test is next.
Spirit Plant Three Arts, I think most of you have mastered them.
Next, you only need to perform these three spells in turn, of which the Spirit Rain Technique should cover a three-quarter area, and the Gengjin Finger needs to hit the center of the target two zhang away.
As for the Catalyzing Spell.
Each person comes over to receive a grass seed, and only needs to catalyze this grass seed until it germinates after one spell to be considered passed.”
Soon after, an examiner opened his mouth and stated the rules.
This time, instead of participating in the examination together, they were conducted one by one.
In accordance with that, it was also their respective examination numbers.
tan san was number seven, so he was ranked seventh.
In the first place, was a somewhat plump looking fat man around twenty years old.
He first made a spiritual rain art, within three breaths, spiritual rain art was cast out by him, pattering on the ground, the coverage area just reached the range of three quarters of the ground, so even if he passed the first item in the spells.
The second item, Gengjin Finger was also successfully hit two feet, landing on the bull’s eye.
The third item, he chose a grass species, a catalytic technique fell.
Only, after ten breaths, the grass seed failed to send out shoots.
As such, the test was a failure.
The fat man’s face immediately collapsed, revealing a look of disbelief.
He clearly remembered that his Hypnosis Technique had already been practiced to the point of purity, how could he still not be able to hypnotize this grass seed into sprouting?
Unwillingly, he hastily cast his spell again.
It was just that a candidate only had one chance to take the test, and even if he succeeded in casting the spell for the second time, he still lost his qualification.
And what made him even more desperate was that the grass seed still failed to germinate after the second catalyzing spell fell.
Such a blow caused his face to turn pale, and his entire body was somewhat disoriented.
Soon, the second cultivator performed the test, this was an old Spirit Farmer who looked to be in his thirties, with a dark face and habitually rolled up his pants legs.
His Spirit Rain Technique, when cast, was half an acre in size, and had obviously reached the minor accomplishment stage a long time ago.
Then the Gungjin Finger, which did reach two feet, was only poorly aimed, missing the bullseye and being off by three points.
There was no second chance at all, and he was eliminated with it.
The third one, finally all three spells, passed the test successfully, especially his Hypnosis, not only did it germinate that grass seed, but also made it grow half a foot.
Obviously, his hypnosis art had also reached the realm of minor accomplishment.
The fourth, the fifth ……
Of the previous six, only two were able to pass.
It was soon tan san’s turn.
He didn’t think to show himself purposely, he just slightly paused in place for a little less tilt, and then reached forward a little.
The rain then sprinkled down.
It happened to cover three quarters of the ground.
The second item, the Gengjin Finger, was even simpler.
He flexed his fingers and a golden light shot out, directly hitting the center of the target and penetrating through.
The third item.
tan san’s gaze landed on the grass seeds in the bag in front of Liu Yuanqing, a high-level Spirit Plant Master.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a glimmer of aura, before he casually took a grass seed from it.
It was a kind of grass seed called Tangled Green Grass, the size of a small thumb, which was casually placed in his hand, and in a smooth manner, a catalytic technique was exerted.
At that instant, a flash of spiritual light, on top of the grass seed, immediately erupted with vitality, a shoot, quickly born, and quickly grew half an inch.
Up to this point.
tan san smoothly dispersed the spiritual light.
Sending out a shoot, it was considered to have passed the examination, and he did not need to waste any more spiritual energy since to make it grow to its limit.
“Pass!”
Liu Yuanqing glanced at tan san and spoke in a low voice.
There was a middle-ranked Spirit Plant Master at the side, making a record.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou’s Spiritual Plant means are truly extraordinary.
The second examination, it passed straight away.”
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhou, as long as you pass the next test, you can directly become a Spirit Plant Master.”
Seeing this, the two brothers Zhao Jie and Zhao Qiang hurriedly surrounded over and said.
“A fluke.”
tan san humbly smiled, then played a soundproof technique and said, “In the third catalytic technique test, 10% of the grass seeds in that bag are dead seeds.
When you two fellow Daoists select them, you should be a little more careful.
If they are dead seeds, then even if your Hypnotic Technique is practiced well, you won’t be able to pass the test.”
tan san had just noticed that the first fat man’s Hypnotism Technique was actually not poorly cultivated, and even if it had not reached the realm of Minor Achievement, it was still a deeper stage in the Proficient level.
Two hypnosis techniques in a row were unable to push the grass seeds to produce shoots, there must be something wrong with it.
That was why he had used the Spiritual Eye Technique to check when he was selecting them.
Sure enough, he observed that 10% of the grass seeds were dead.
That’s why he would remind the Zhao brothers at this time.
How to say, is also familiar with not.
He was naturally willing to show kindness.
“Really?”
The two men’s faces changed slightly, and both of them were in awe in their hearts.
“Thank you for informing me!”
Immediately, both solemnly thanked him.
Sure enough.
In the subsequent examination, there were so many unlucky guts that directly picked the dead seeds, and no matter how they cast their spells, they were unable to catalyze the grass seeds to germinate.
There was one person who even cried anxiously.
But it is useless.
There is only one chance.
Failure is failure.
One could only retreat in dismay.
As for the Zhao brothers, after tan san’s reminder, after passing the first two spells with flying colors, they deliberately chose carefully among the grass seeds, and also germinated the grass seeds with flying colors, passing this test.
“Spiritual rain covers one acre.
Worthy of Gao Mingyi, I didn’t expect to have cultivated the spell Spiritual Rain Technique to such a profound level?”
At this exact moment, a clamor came from the crowd.
It was that Gao Mingyi who was participating in the examination.
A Spiritual Rain Art with a huge range of one acre, many people were drenched as a result, but they didn’t care, their faces were shocked.
A mu range of spiritual rain art, even in the formal spiritual planter, there are few people can do, so the surrounding crowd, all look a little shocked.
Because of this, it wasn’t something that could be done by practicing hard and diligently.
You have to be extremely talented, and you also have to be instructed by a famous teacher.
And these, Gao Mingyi all have.
Not only is the water, wood, and gold three attribute spiritual roots, which happen to fit the three arts of spiritual planting, but there is also the personal guidance of Gu Qianhe, a high-level spiritual planting master teacher……. With this performance, it seems that it is not impossible.
When the crowd thought of this, their hearts soured a bit.
Then came the second test.
Gengjin Finger.
Gao Mingyi stood in front of the stage, as if he hadn’t made any preparations at all, and a Geng Jin Finger had already shot out along with a point of his finger.
Poof!
Not only did it instantly penetrate the center of the target, but it also extended backward for several feet before gradually dissipating.
“Another great accomplishment.”
Seeing this, tan san also revealed a look of surprise.
It seemed that the leader of the apprentices in this Spirit Plant Hall was still something.
After all, the other party wasn’t like him, having an attribute panel that could be infinitely improved.
Although there were few master teachers to guide him, if he didn’t work hard himself, if his natural talent wasn’t outstanding, he would never be able to do this.
The third item, the Catalyzing Technique, he also passed with ease.
Not only will the grass seed germinate, but also make it grow continuously, after reaching three feet, the grass leaves slightly withered and yellowed before it didn’t grow any more.
“His Catalyzing Technique should also have just entered the early stage of the Grand Completion.
If it had the middle stage of Great Success, the entirety of this grass seed would have become withered and yellowed, bearing new grass seeds.”
tan san looked at the hypnotized grass seed and quickly made a judgment.
There was a difference between the early stage of Dacheng, the middle stage, and the late stage.
Don’t look at the performance on his attribute panel, it was just a bunch of data, but as someone who had actually cultivated this spell to the state of perfection, he was of course able to judge the difference from the changes in the spirit plant after each spell.
It could be said.
It was the same hypnosis spell at the Grand Completion stage.
The catalyzing effect, too, was vastly different.
At the early stage of Grand Completion, it could cause grass seeds to germinate to wither and yellow, and at the middle stage of Grand Completion, it could cause grass seeds to wither and yellow and then condense the grass seeds.
And the late stage of dacheng, can make that grass seed from germination to withered yellow knot into grass seed and make that grass seed again germination to withered yellow ……
As for the catalyzing technique that tan san had cultivated to a perfect level.
A spell down, that grass seed can be optimized in one step and transformed into a spiritual grass seed before it continues to take root and germinate, then grow to its limit.
It could be said that the grass seed was fundamentally optimized so that it could evolve before it was catalyzed to grow.
This one process.
It was only after at least ten generations of growth of ordinary grass seeds, the best of the best.
In other words.
Perfection level catalytic growth technique.
At the very beginning, it eliminated the need for the grass seed to grow ten times.
It caused it to metamorphose, evolve, and become a spirit grass at the very beginning.
