Ye Mo had already noticed that the dozen or so judges were already looking at the jade tablets, although there were thousands of jade tablets, the workload was not very heavy for these judges.
Numerous participants like Ye Mo stayed in the entry area waiting for the results, and more people were discussing the answers to the examination questions among themselves.
Mu Yiqing squeezed over to Ye Mo’s side and said, “Senior Brother Ye, how many medicinal herbs do you recognise? I only recognised five.”
As soon as Ye Mo heard Mu Yiqing’s words, he knew that he should be eliminated, five kinds of medicinal herbs didn’t even manage to form a dan recipe, it would be strange if he could pa*s.
“You still recognised five kinds, I only recognised three.” Ye Mo didn’t answer, and a contestant next to him jacked in with a frustrated look.
“Yes, these herbs are too difficult, they are simply not normally seen, they are too rare, I only recognised six of them too.” Another participating cultivator squeezed over and said, but it was clear from his expression that he was still very proud of himself for recognising six herbs.
Ye Mo nodded, six herbs should be able to form a simple dan recipe. But he was soon drawn to the conversation of a few other people and immediately looked over.
“Senior Brother Cai, what exactly are those spirit herbs? It’s really too rare.” A beautiful young woman of about thirty daintily asked a man who didn’t look too old, with extreme admiration among her expression.
The reason why Ye Mo paid attention was because he noticed that when this beautiful young woman asked the question, many of the participating cultivators around him even stopped talking and gathered around that Senior Brother Cai, wanting to hear his answer.
Ye Mo took a closer look at this Senior Brother Cai. He didn’t seem to be very old, he didn’t look to be more than about thirty years old, but he was already at the False Dan realm. However, Ye Mo knew that this should be superficial, people who looked 20 or 30 years old in the cultivation realm, if they hadn’t taken a face-preserving elixir, then their actual age was estimated to be 40 or 50 years old.
From the way the people around him gathered around him, wanting to hear his answer. Ye Mo could tell that this Senior Brother Cai should have a few brilliance.
Seeing Ye Mo sizing up Senior Brother Cai, Mu Yiqing said in a small voice, “His name is Cai Sheng. He is a core disciple of the ‘Heavenly Dan School’ and is only forty-nine years old. He is a famous alchemy genius from the Northern Hope Continent and was ranked tenth in the last Alchemy Hall of Fame. It can be said to be a big hit.”
So it was a top ten figure in the Alchemy Hall of Fame, no wonder he was so popular, it was Ye Mo who wanted to hear how many herbs this tenth figure in the Alchemy Hall of Fame had recognised.
That senior brother Cai had very good manners, he smiled slightly and cupped his fist and said, “This time’s topic is a bit difficult because the twelve spirit herbs on it are all uncommon herbs, it’s normal for everyone not to play well. If I may be fair, I think this topic does not necessarily reflect the standard of the alchemists. Some people are already very good at alchemy, but he has not seen these out-of-the-ordinary herbs, resulting in a malfunction ……”
Cai Sheng’s words immediately resonated with everyone, and the onlookers agreed. Yup. Some people are very good at alchemy, but they haven’t seen many of these out-of-the-way medicinal herbs, so it really wouldn’t be a good idea to use this exam. Ye Mo secretly said that this guy was great, he had resonated with everyone with one sentence and was a good guy who didn’t want to pay.
When the voices around had calmed down a little. But Cai Sheng continued, “But we also have to be considerate of the Dan a*sociation, there are too many people participating in the competition this time, and such a topic is simple and ha*sle-free and can be achieved in the shortest possible time. So those who are good at alchemy don’t have to mind, just know that they have what it takes anyway.”
There was another burst of resonance from the surrounding participants, obviously still agreeing with Cai Sheng’s words.
Ye Mo, however, secretly said. This guy had just stood up for the contestants and spoke out for everyone, and in the blink of an eye, he had stood up for the Dan Club and explained the reason for the Dan Club. Although Ye Mo didn’t know Cai Sheng, he knew that this was an extremely lingering character.
“Cai Sheng, don’t just say nice things, you’ve finished saying nice things on both sides, now we’re asking you for the answer to this question, not for you to comfort the Dan Club after you’ve comforted us ……” A man with a jarred voice, however, interrupted Cai Sheng’s words without the slightest bit of politeness, obviously He disliked Cai Sheng’s way of speaking.
Cai Sheng, however, was not the slightest bit annoyed, but instead smiled and said, “This friend is right, this topic I was lucky, I happened to have seen a medicine book left behind by my predecessor and was lucky enough to recognize the ten herbs in it ……”
Ye Mo listened to his heart sink, this Cai Sheng actually recognized ten kinds, such a powerful guy. Such a powerful guy is only ranked tenth in the Alchemy Hall of Fame, it looks like he wants to enter the top ten want to retain his strength is really a bit difficult ah. Ye Mo could only hope that the next question would not be the out-of-the-way one above ‘Things’.
This Cai Sheng had obviously never read the book ‘Things’, he could even identify ten kinds of medicinal herbs, so it was clear that there were many capable people in the cultivation world. Of course, Ye Mo would never believe what this Cai Sheng said, what with accidentally reading a medicine book left behind by his predecessors to be so good. Although he did not know about the ‘Heavenly Dan School’, he guessed that it was not a simple sect either.
As soon as Cai Sheng’s words fell, there was a sound of awe all around, clearly many of the participating cultivators were shocked by the achievement of recognising ten medicinal herbs.
“Senior Brother Cai is so impressive, he can actually recognise ten kinds, I think he should have pa*sed even if he didn’t write a dan recipe.”
“I reckon Senior Brother Cai should be able to go further this time, maybe he can even advance to the top three.”
“Senior brother Cai, what are those ten kinds of herbs and what do they do ……”
……
Amongst the envy of the crowd, there was even more chatter, but many wanted to know exactly which ten herbs.
Just as Cai Sheng was about to speak, a cold hum interrupted him, and all eyes turned to the cold hum, wondering who it was that dared to interrupt Senior Brother Cai’s conversation.
A woman in a pink dress said disdainfully, “Just recognising ten kinds of spiritual medicines, what’s there to show off? Looking at you, I thought you recognized twelve kinds, or that you had combined a heavenly grade elixir recipe by yourself.”
It was obvious that the woman in the pink dress was coming for Cai Sheng, and the surrounding cultivators who wanted to help Cai Sheng speak stopped their mouths as soon as they saw the sect’s logo embroidered on the woman in the pink dress’s clothes. The ‘Immortal Medicine Valley’ was not something that ordinary cultivators could afford to mess with, and it was the ‘Immortal Medicine Valley’ logo that was embroidered on the woman’s pink dress.
Who knew that Cai Sheng was not angry and said to the woman with a fist, “So it is Senior Sister Guang of the ‘Immortal Medicine Valley’, this bit of knowledge of Cai Sheng has made Senior Sister Guang laugh, I think Senior Sister Guang should have recognized all twelve kinds of medicinal herbs.”
The red-skirted woman said indifferently, “Cai Sheng, you don’t have to crowd me either. I only recognise ten of them, just like you, but my sister recognises more than you.”
The others were not much surprised to hear this, as everyone knew who this red-skirted woman’s senior sister was, and the status of the ‘Immortal Medicine Valley’ was even a little higher than that of the ‘Heavenly Dan School’.
“This woman’s name is Guang Wei, she is from the ‘Immortal Pill Valley’ and 17th in the Alchemy Hall of Fame, but her senior sister is a celebrity, that is, Qin Muxin. Although she is ranked twenty-second in the Alchemy Hall of Fame, but that was already ten years ago.” Mu Yiqing whispered in Ye Mo’s ear and explained.
“Senior sister Qin, come here for a moment ……” After the red-skirted woman finished speaking, she beckoned to the distance without waiting for Cai Sheng to answer.
A woman wearing a blue dress in the distance saw this red-skirted woman and immediately walked over and said to the red-skirted woman, “Senior Sister Guang, you are looking for me ……”
“Senior sister Mu Xin, you say the names of those twelve herbs, otherwise some people recognize ten of them and think that they are the best in the world.” After the red-skirted woman finished speaking, she coldly glanced at Cai Sheng.
Cai Sheng gave a bitter smile and did not say anything.
“Senior Brother Ye, this blue-skirted woman is the ‘Immortal Medicine Valley’s’ Qin Muxin, an absolute genius.” Mu Yiqing said again as Ye Mo.
Ye Mo took a look at Qin Muxin, she was in her twenties, her crescent moon like eyebrows matched with her flower like cheeks looked serene and natural, and as quiet as a quiet orchid. A head of ink-like hair was draped behind her back, but a few strands were scattered around her ears bringing some movement to her serenity.
The first impression Qin Muxin gave Ye Mo was that this was a beautiful girl, and one who didn’t like to talk much, but gave off a sense of not being cold. There was really no way for him to a*sociate such a girl, who was as quiet as stopping water, with the fifth in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame.
How many good people were there who could make it to the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame? Which of them did not have amazing skills under their hands? This Qin Muxin looked delicate and quiet, was she also very good at fighting?
Qin Muxin walked over but said quietly, “Senior Sister Guang, I can only recognise eleven of the plants inside, not all of the spiritual herbs.”
“Eleven strains is eleven strains, at least it’s better than me, a half-barrel who only recognises ten strains.” As soon as the red-skirted woman’s words were spoken, all the people looked at Cai Sheng, and as long as they were not fools, they all knew that the words were directed at Cai Sheng.
Cai Sheng, however, had good manners, he walked up to Qin Muxin and cupped his fist and said, “Senior Sister Qin …… please don’t hesitate to give advice, Cai Sheng is grateful.”
Qin Muxin nodded, not modest because of Cai Sheng’s lowered posture, she pondered for a moment and said, “The eleven medicinal herbs I recognized are Fire Fox Flower, Earth Dragon Root, Divine Inducing Herb, Moon Inducing Ice Blue, Juan Boom Tail, and Usual Wood Bark ……”
Qin Muxin did not finish her words, but Ye Mo was getting more and more afraid to underestimate these people in his heart. Among the eleven medicinal herbs that Qin Muxin said just now, there were really two that he recognized inside the ‘things’, it seems that there are a lot of people with insight.
“The last one however I can’t recognize.” After Qin Muxin finished speaking, he stood beside the red-skirted woman.
“The last kind is ‘Sea Mud Flowerless Algae’.” A voice spoke out after Qin Muxin’s words.
