Chapter 104.

Thirty-five people, a large portion of them were eliminated.
Most of them were Spiritual Plant Three Arts and failed to meet the standard.
However, there were also two or three who were more unlucky, and when picking their grass seeds, they picked dead seeds.
However, this was not to be blamed.
Because this was originally part of the assessment.
Insufficient eyesight and picking a dead seed would have shown that their level of spiritual planting was lacking, and they couldn’t see the seed activity.
Soon, the third round of assessment was about to begin.
There were only fifteen people left on the scene.
For those who were eliminated, some left directly, while others stood aside and waited for the results.
tan san stood beside the Zhao brothers, and not far away was none other than Gao Mingyi, who had a haughty face.
In the second round of the examination, he had shown his attainments in the three Spiritual Planting techniques in a high profile, and even if there were many Spiritual Planting apprentices who couldn’t stand to look at his gestures, they had to admit that his Spiritual Planting means were superior.
Thus, he could be said to be the one who attracted the most attention amongst the people present.
tan san’s gaze, however, was not on him, but on a female cultivator not far from him.
Looks like two eight years old, in actuality should be a little bit bigger, Immortal Dharma cultivator, age is the most deceptive, face white crystal, looks pavilion, very beautiful.
However, what attracted tan san was not her beauty, but her spells.
Previously, when the other party cast the Spirit Rain Technique and Gengjin Finger, he did not see it because of the distance, but in the end, when the other party used the Catalyzing Technique, it was obvious that she had done it to hide it.
With him in general, he had hypnotized the grass seed until it had grown half an inch, and then promptly withdrew the spell.
However, tan san was able to see, from this, his attainment of this spell.
Middle stage of Dacheng.
Although it was still far inferior to himself, it had already steadily surpassed Gao Mingyi, and was definitely a good Spirit Plant.
“All of you.
The third test, I believe many of you have already learned about it.
It’s just from my bag, picking a spirit seed.
Two hours before and after.
As long as you cultivate the spirit seeds to the mature stage and bear fruits, you will be considered to have passed the test.
On a side note, the final rankings of this examination will also be generated in this third item.
It will be judged by the quality of the fruits produced by the Spirit Seed, the higher the quality, the better the result.
This time, the first to third place in the Spiritual Plantsmith Examination, all have rewards.
Among them, the first place can get the Qingyuan Order to enter the Qingyuan Sect directly, with this token, you can enter the Qingyuan Sect directly in the spring of next year, and become a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect.
For the second place, you will be able to pick our four examiners as your masters.
For the third place, you will be able to obtain a second-grade spirit seed to grow second-grade spirit materials.”
At this exact moment, Yang Ping, a high-level spirit plant master, opened his mouth, his tone full of motivation.
At those words.
Everyone’s faces revealed a fiery color.
There were rewards for the top three.
For the first place, after seeing Gao Mingyi’s performance, many people recognized themselves as inferior and had long since given up.
But the second and third place, they were not hopeless.
“Brother, do you think we have hope?”
Zhao Qiang sniffed and hurriedly asked Zhao Jie in a low voice, the other party swept his eyes around and said in a low voice, “Don’t think about it, see that guy with a black face, I heard that he is the nephew of the high level Spiritual Plantsmith Yang Ping, Yang Xin, his Spiritual Plantsmanship means are definitely not low.
There is also that one, named Lu Ming, just a month ago, successfully will be a second-grade spirit plant to plant out, very much get a few middle and high level spirit plant masters to appreciate, usually the guidance will not be less.
Moreover, we should know that being able to grow a second-grade spiritual plant means that his spiritual planting skills have already reached the first-grade middle stage, comparable to a first-grade middle-grade spiritual planter.
With them around, we don’t stand a chance.
A few of us, it would be good if we can successfully pass the examination.”
Zhao Jie said and also looked at tan san.
Obviously, the us he was talking about included him as well.
Seeing this, tan san could only smile and didn’t bother to retort.
“Begin!”
A low shout was given.
One by one, the cultivators then re-stood in front of the previous examination table.
On top of it, a flower bed had long been set up, obviously for them to use for cultivating spirit seeds.
Then, one by one, the examining cultivators began to go forward in turn, picking seeds from a cloth bag in front of Yang Ping.
Inside the bag, all the water spirit peach seeds, but there are high and low quality, high, directly is the spirit seed, full of particles, vitality, after cultivation out of the water spirit peach, inevitably sweet and tasty, contains abundant spiritual qi.
Low, is the mortal species, dead species.
Mortal species of water spirit peach, the character is far less than the spiritual species, but the same is a delicious fruit, is a luxury in the eyes of mortals, they test, only need to cultivate the mortal species of water spirit peach ripe, bear fruit, and also enough.
And the dead seed.
It was almost impossible to produce shoots and grow fruit trees.
Once the chosen one is a dead seed.
This time, the examination would definitely fail.
Fifteen people picked the spirit seeds in order.
tan san was in third place.
However, standing at the back, he was already able to see the seeds.
He cast the Spiritual Eye Technique, his gaze narrowed slightly, and a spiritual light flashed by.
In an instant, the condition of the seeds within the bag, the size of their vitality, all surfaced before his eyes.
“Eh?
A large portion of dead seeds?”
tan san’s face changed slightly.
There were at least hundreds of seeds in the bag.
However, when he looked at them with his Spiritual Eye Technique, most of them were dead seeds with extinct vitality and almost no possibility of growth and germination.
A small number of seeds, also with dull vitality, just to cultivate them up and revitalize them would take a lot of spiritual energy, as for those spiritual seeds that emitted rich vitality and contained even more spiritual energy, there were only twelve of them.
The key was that, regardless of whether it was a dead seed, an ordinary seed or a spirit seed, in terms of appearance, there was not much difference.
“It seems that the real difficulty of the Spirit Plant Hall Examination is here.
Even if one was lucky enough not to pick a dead seed in the second level.
In this level, if one’s eyesight is not good, it’s also highly likely that one will be hit and have no chance of becoming a Spirit Plant Master.
If it is once again lucky to pick the ordinary species and successfully pass the examination …… Luck is sometimes, indeed, a kind of strength.
Fortune Fortune Fortune, people who cultivate Immortals, do extremely believe in these.”
tan san’s gaze narrowed as he watched the first cultivator pick a dead seed, already knowing that the other party’s examination was over this time.
Then the second one.
This one had excellent luck and picked a spirit seed.
Only, I don’t know if he was really confident, or just a blind man feeling the elephant, and happened to pick this one, and I don’t know if he had the strength to plant this spirit seed until it matured and bore fruit.
Soon, it was tan san’s turn.
He stood in front of Yang Ping, his eyes falling on the many seeds in the bag.
Under the Spiritual Eye Technique, the vitality and size of all the seeds were all clearly visible.
Then with a little fiddling, he picked a thumb-sized seed from it.
This seed was precisely one of the Spirit Seeds.
And it was the one with the strongest vitality and spirituality.
After him, there was Zhao Qiang Zhao Jie.
At this time, it was not good for him to remind anything else, he just silently walked to his table and looked at the flower pot that was specially prepared by the Spirit Plant Hall, the flower pot was filled with Spirit Soil, and it was a Spirit Soil that was carefully cultivated to reach the first-order top-grade level, so not to mention planting an ordinary Water Spirit Peach, even if it were a cherished Spirit Seed, it would still be able to survive and grow.
However, because he hadn’t dispersed his spiritual eyes at this time, he was able to clearly ‘see’ several fully active creatures from within the spiritual soil.
Spirit worms.
There were spirit worms buried within this Spiritual Soil.
That’s right.
The test for Spirit Plant Masters naturally included the removal of insects.
Where do the spirit worms come from for this rapid growth process?
Of course, it must be buried in the soil first, and during the growth of the spiritual plant, it will quickly attract the spirit worms to nibble on it, and if it can’t be dealt with in time, the spirit worms within this spiritual soil will surely cause great damage to the spiritual plant, thus affecting the planting harvest.
However, even though he had discovered this, his face remained motionless.
After everyone had each received their own spirit seeds.
Yang Ping let out, “Begin.”
Then everyone immediately got busy.
Either they cast a catalytic technique to catalyze the seeds and make them germinate, or they used the Spiritual Rain technique to moisturize the spiritual soil, and some of them simply planted the seeds directly, and then used the catalytic technique to continuously catalyze the seeds ……
One by one, each of them showed their skills, striving to nurture the seeds to germinate and bear fruit as soon as possible.
tan san, at this time, also began to move.
A direct Spiritual Rain Technique was made.
Covering only three inches of land around him, the pattering Spirit Rain rain sprinkled down, part of it spilling down into the flower pots, and part of it being drawn into his hands by him, beginning to moisturize the Spirit Seed in his hands.
It was immediately afterward that he used the Catalyzing Technique.
After absorbing enough spiritual water, the spirit seed that was already glowing with vitality, under the effect of his catalytic technique, not only did the spirit seed undergo a certain optimization and transformation, but it also rapidly gave birth to roots and sprouts, and then very quickly, it rose up to about an inch.
At this point, the spirit seed was actually ready to be buried within the soil and start planting.
Only after being cultivated by the spirit soil and absorbing the spiritual qi and nutrients within the spirit soil would the seed grow even more rapidly and bear even larger fruits.
However, tan san did not move.
Instead, with a thought, he cast another spell.
This spell, was the Insect Attracting Spell.
Although it hadn’t been acquired for a long time, it had been cultivated by him to a small level of success.
Insect Attractor +1
The spell was uttered.
A special fragrance of attracting insects was then emitted.
However, under tan san’s immovable soundproofing spell, it did not emanate outside the flowerpot in the slightest.
A soundproofing technique at the perfect level already had the ability to block spiritual qi and isolate odors, so naturally, it was also able to isolate this insect attracting technique from spreading out.
The Insect Attracting Technique was used, under the pull of the special scent.
Zi Zi Zi ……
A single spirit insect with a black armor on its head and two scythes on its hands crawled out from within the spirit soil.
“Iron Armored Sickle Bugs.
This Spirit Plantation Hall is quite ruthless, burying this kind of spirit bug within the flower pot, one bad move and the entire shoots and rhizomes will be sheared by it.”
tan san’s face was flushed with surprise.
And very quickly, he realized.
There was more than just this kind of spirit bug.
In addition to the Iron Armored Scythe Worm, soon there were also Rice Thread Worms, and Spirit Eating Worms crawling out.
All of them were pests that would affect the growth of the Water Spirit Peach, and if they were not removed in time, even if the Water Spirit Peach grew out, it would still be a young peach, a bitter peach, and a rotten peach.
Because the nutrients are all absorbed by these spirit worms.
When tan san saw these spirit insects, he would not be polite, he flicked his fingers, and one spirit insect was pierced through his head.
He then buried the bodies of these Spirit Bugs into the soil before planting the Spirit Seeds. Spirit seed growth required spiritual qi and nutrition.
And there was no longer any nutrition and spiritual qi contained in the flesh and blood of these spirit insects that was suitable for the growth of this spirit seed of his.
Next, it was rather simple.
tan san started with a catalyzing technique.
Then came the Spiritual Rain Technique that covered the size of a flowerpot.
It was cast alternately.
There was no need for any other maneuvers at all.
He still had the leisure to observe the planting and cultivation process of the others.
With fifteen people, there were still three people who inevitably, picked dead seeds.
Among them, it included Zhao Qiang.
This was also something that couldn’t be helped.
This level, the test was eyesight and understanding of the characteristics of spiritual plants and seeds, and to still be able to pick the dead seed was only their own problem.
The three were simply unable to cause the seeds to germinate, and were directly about to be eliminated.
The reason why they hadn’t been announced yet was just that the test wasn’t over yet.
Just pity them, they are sweating profusely casting spells ……
Among the others, the most outstanding performers were still Gao Mingyi, and the female cultivator that tan san had noticed earlier.
The two were also the first to realize that there were spirit insects hidden in the flower pots, but they did not have the insect attraction technique that tan san knew, but they both mastered a special spirit plant spell, the ground turning technique.
With two or three Earth Turning Spells, the spiritual soil was turned over, and a single spirit insect was exposed, and then in turn, they killed it with their Geng Jin Fingers.
It was worth mentioning that they also reburied the dead spirit bugs into the spirit soil to be used as spirit seed nourishment.
As for that Yang Xin and Lu Ming mentioned by Zhao Jie earlier, although their techniques were old-fashioned, they were both more than a step behind the two Gao Mingyi.
Hypnosis, Spirit Rain Technique, Hypnosis ……
tan san used the Hypnotizing Technique and Spiritual Rain Technique from time to time.
After a catalytic technique, the Water Spirit Peach Peach Tree grew rapidly, constantly absorbing the spiritual qi and nutrients within the spiritual soil, while the Peach Tree itself, also grew rapidly, soon forking, giving birth to branches and sending out new shoots.
In the blink of an eye it was three feet tall.
Then the Spiritual Rain Technique fell.
Don’t look at just covering a one-foot range, only covering the Water Spirit Peach Tree, but the perfect level of Spiritual Rain Art, can automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy into it.
A small drop contained abundant spiritual energy, and under the moisturizing, the growth of the fruit tree became more and more vigorous.
In order to make the fruit tree grow faster and bear more fruits, tan san even used his Gengjin Finger to knock off its excess branches and leaves one by one.
As a result, after his pruning, the Water Spirit Peach Tree he planted was only three feet tall and only had three thin branches.
Compared to Gao Mingyi’s Spirit Peach Tree that was now almost one foot tall, it actually seemed a bit small.
But the difference is.
tan san’s fruit tree had already blossomed.
A small pink flower, dotted on top of the fruit tree, actually presented a beautiful scene.
On the contrary, that high nominal fruit tree was still in the growth stage.
He could also only keep using the Catalyzing Technique and the Spiritual Rain Technique to aid the growth of the Spirit Peach Tree, expecting it to blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible.
“Next, it’s time to attract the bees.”
For this step, it was necessary to use external forces.
Attracting spirit bees to come over for pollination.
Fortunately, within the Spirit Plant Hall, there had been preparations made, specifically placing a Spirit Bee Hive in the place of assessment.
After his Spirit Peach Tree Peach Blossom Tree was in full bloom, emitting a strong flower fragrance.
In an instant, a single Spirit Bee was attracted over.
Even because the fragrance of the flowers was too dense and attracted too many Spirit Bees, there was often a situation where the Spirit Bees would compete for pollination.
Seeing this, tan san could only use the Pacifying Technique to pacify them.
He also used the Catalyzing Technique to accelerate the growth of the spirit plant.
So it was only a few moments of effort before the flowers fully bloomed and a fruit took shape and grew.
One, two, three ……
There were more than thirty of them.
In response, tan san was not polite, and once again began to move, leaving only three spirit peaches on each branch, the rest were all picked off and taken out by him.
In the end, there were nine left.
The nine Spirit Peaches, absorbed all the aura and nutrients.
Then like blowing up a balloon, they quickly grew larger, to the size of two adult fists, each as white as jade, while a hint of red was faintly revealed under the skin.
Before it was even picked off, there was a tantalizing fragrance that came out with it.
Became!
Before and after, only half an hour’s time.
tan san had successfully planted this Water Spirit Peach Tree and produced a spirit fruit.
Looking at the others, they were all still working hard.
There were one or two who had insufficient spiritual energy in their bodies due to the excessive number of spells they had cast, and were resting on their knees to recover their spiritual energy.
“How is it possible?
So fast?
He just planted fruit?
And looking at the color, this is clearly not an ordinary Water Spirit Peach fruit.
Spirit fruit? This is a spirit fruit?”
After the tantalizing fragrance of the fruit was emitted, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Each and every one of them couldn’t help but stop the movements in their hands, and all of them looked in the direction where tan san was, looking towards the Water Spirit Peach Spirit Peach Tree beside him.
There were even more unbelievable colors on their faces.
They did not expect that someone would actually plant the Water Spirit Peach so quickly.
Before and after, it was only half an hour.
And what about them? Many of them had even just resolved the spirit bugs and caused the spirit seeds to sprout.
And most importantly, they could all easily tell that what tan san had planted out was a Spirit Seed Spirit Peach.
Its cultivation difficulty was more than ten times harder than the ordinary Water Spirit Peach seeds they had planted.
The result.
He had actually planted it out and had completed the examination.
“This person, who is he?
Where did it come out from?”
Gao Mingyi’s face was, well, difficult to see.
He was originally determined to win the first place in this examination, and even more so, he regarded it as his own possession.
That was why he had threatened and put out the word early on.
Result.
This person suddenly came out, and even completed the examination so much earlier than him ……
“What a powerful spiritual plant means.
The Insect Drawing Technique from before was already a side-splitting sight, but I didn’t realize that what he’s really powerful at is still the Hypnotic Technique and the Spiritual Rain Technique.”
The female cultivator who was noticed by tan san couldn’t help but change color as well.
She happened to be right next to tan san because of her position, so she had, more or less, noticed tan san’s Spirit Plant means.
Not only was the Insect Attracting Technique marvelous, directly attracting all the Spirit Insects out, its Gungjin Finger, Catalyzing Technique and Spirit Rain Technique, which were the three Spirit Planting Techniques, even more amazed her.
She simply couldn’t detect the signs of the other party’s spells.
It was as if with the other party’s mind, the spells took shape and then played out their proper effects.
In the end, the Spirit Fruit ripened, and its tantalizing fragrance caused her mouth to swallow in a gulp.
In comparison, the shock in the hearts of the two brothers, Zhao Jie and Zhao Qiang, was the greatest.
In itself, the fact that they had come across tan san here had already surprised them.
Because of their previous inherent impression, they instinctively thought that the other party wouldn’t be able to finish this Spirit Plant Hall Examination, and in order not to hurt his emotions, they also tried to comfort him by telling him not to hold too much expectation, and to just take it as a try, and that next time, he might have a chance ……
Result.
What about the agreement to experience together, try together, and everyone report to the group, just as accumulating experience?
Instead, you’re flying high?
The first to plant a spirit fruit, the first to complete the assessment …… This is wanting to take the first place in this assessment ah?
This can be too beyond their expectations.
“Good seedling, good seedling.
Among this batch of disciples, I had thought that Gao Mingyi was already invincible, but I didn’t expect someone to be even braver than him, whose disciple is this?”
Yang Ping stood in front of the stage and was also shocked out loud.
The other Spirit Plant Masters looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Previously, they had not paid attention to tan san’s performance either.
It was only at this moment, when he truly displayed his Spirit Planting techniques, that they were successively shocked.
One of the examiners was quick on his feet and hurriedly found out his examination information and said in a low voice, “tan san, originally was also an apprentice in our Spiritual Plantation Hall.
Later on, he went out to apply for self-cultivation of spirit fields, and only now is he participating in the Spirit Plant Master Examination for the first time.”
“Whose disciple is this ……?”
Yang Ping hurriedly asked.
The man shook his head and said, “That’s not clear.
However, he is all out cultivating his own spiritual fields, I think that within the Spiritual Plant Hall, there is no one who accepts him as a disciple …… Nowadays, perhaps, there is another chance?”
“It’s a pity that the bright pearl is sinking.
I don’t know, whether he has a master now.
If not, whether he can still be willing to worship as a master.”
Yang Ping sighed and could not help but show a hint of urgency.
Famous masters were hard to find, but for them, seventy years old cultivators with no hope of building a foundation, a good disciple with outstanding natural talent was also very hard to find.
At least in terms of attainments in the Three Arts of Spirit Planting, he didn’t think tan san would be much worse than himself.
“It seems that Elder Yang has also moved to take on a disciple.”
The Liu Yuanqing Spiritual Plant Master on the side also smiled and spoke at this time, saying.
“He looks young and has good potential.”
Yang Ping said back.
“However, I do feel that this is actually pleasing to him.
I noticed that he cut the branches and leaves on two separate occasions, and in the end, he only left behind nine spirit peaches, which is equivalent to using all the spiritual energy, the nutrients, to feed these nine spirit peaches, and this is how he was able to quickly grow the spirit peaches to maturity.
This in itself was an evil path.
It is an improper means of sacrificing the growth of the other Spirit Peaches to prompt these few Spirit Peaches to mature.”
Liu Yuanqing retorted.
“This is just the assessment, and in terms of the results, his spirit peaches are of excellent quality, and are the best amongst the assessments over the years.”
Yang Ping, however, had a different view, and after a pause, he continued, “Moreover, it must be said that this method of his, does have a provenance as well.
On the Heaven Heng Spiritual Plants Chapter, there is also a record that there is not enough spiritual qi, and it is also possible to cut off the branches to promote the growth of …… can not be considered a crooked path.”
“Where is the Heavenly Heng Spiritual Plant Chapter a miscellaneous chapter? Master Wang Qiushui but he said ……”
The two quickly argued about this.
The other two First Grade Middle Order Spiritual Plant Masters glanced at each other and could only smile awkwardly.
Both of them were first grade high rank Spiritual Plant Masters with rich theoretical knowledge, they could not interject.
