Taikoo Immortal King

Chapter 188 Assessment
Xu Miao found the corresponding table according to the number on the assessment token and sat down.Not long after, Zhidan showed up and stood on the high platform of the square.

The person in charge of the exam is Qi Wei, the eldest disciple who holds the alchemy, and he flies to stand in front of many monks, with a serious expression on his face.

"Today is my master's recruitment of closed-door disciples. Every monk needs to participate in the assessment based on his true strength. No cheating is allowed. Those who find out will be expelled from the Dan sect immediately."

"On the table in front of you, there is a spar. Now you can pick up the spar, immerse your spiritual consciousness in it, and record the names, functions, and effects of [-] kinds of spiritual herbs."

"The first 500 people to complete can enter the second round of assessment, and now the assessment officially begins!" With a deafening bell, everyone reached out, picked up the spar, and began to record the spiritual herbs they knew.

Xu Miao grabbed the spar in her hands, and her tentacles were warm.According to what Qi Wei said, after immersing in his spiritual consciousness, Xu Miao discovered that this spar is similar to the jade slip, except that it has an automatic verification function.

As long as there is a wrong input of a kind of spiritual grass, the spar will burst instantly, which means being eliminated.After understanding how the spar works, Xu Miao also began to record the spirit grass.

In the first round of assessment, only 500 people were admitted, and the number of people participating in this assessment was more than ten thousand. The admission rate is really not high.

Xu Miao didn't dare to waste time, so she mobilized her spiritual consciousness and recorded the ten thousand kinds of spiritual herbs he had recorded one by one.The stronger the consciousness is, the faster the recording speed will be. The spar in Xu Miao's hand has changed from being dull at first to dazzling.

Many people who entered the spar together, at the very beginning, the spar burst.In a tense environment, many people did not adjust their mentality at all, and made mistakes when entering, which directly caused the spar to burst.

As the spar exploded and popped one after another, those monks who were able to perform smoothly were influenced by others, their thinking was disturbed, and they were eliminated.

Xu Miao's mind was completely immersed in the spar, without leaving a trace outside, so as not to be affected by other monks.He recorded the information of the spirit grass calmly and accurately, without distraction.

Like Xu Miao, there are still many monks who are obsessed with spar. Only when they are not disturbed by the external environment can they go further on the alchemy path.

Five-leaved ginseng, slender stems, gray-brown to dark brown, spherical fruit, bitter taste, grassy smell, can be used for refining Guangling Dan.

Liquidambar gum, gray and smooth when young, brown and rough when old, with many capsules, can be used to refine hemostatic elixirs.

……

The result of the temporary cramming was very effective. Xu Miao successfully recorded the shapes, effects, and identification of [-] kinds of spiritual herbs into the spar.

When the [-]th spirit grass was entered, the spar suddenly rose from Xu Miao's hand, emitting a dazzling brilliance, which was very bright in daylight.

The powerful spiritual sense and the heaven-defying memory made Xu Miao the first monk to complete the first round of assessment.The spar was taken away by Qi Wei, and after the inspection was correct, it was announced that Xu Miao had passed.

"Xu Miao, pass!"

Whether it is a monk who has been eliminated or a monk who is still entering the spiritual grass, they are very surprised when they hear that someone has passed.

"Is it human to have recorded [-] kinds of spiritual herbs so quickly?"

"Did you hear the name Qi Wei just read out, it's Xu Miao!"

"Xu Miao? Isn't Xu Miao a disciple of He Qinggu? Why do you want to worship under the Taoist Priest Zhidan? I heard that in the Zhuoli Pavilion that day, many medium-sized sects invited him to join them, but Xu Miao didn't No consent."

"Look carefully at Xu Miao's hair color and aura. It's obvious that he doesn't have much lifespan. He will come to take part in the apprenticeship examination of Zhidan this time, it must be for the longevity pill."

"With Xu Miao here, it will be difficult for other people to beat him."

"That's not necessarily the case. Xu Miao is indeed invincible at the same level in terms of combat power, but this is alchemy, not fighting."

Xu Miao listened to everyone's discussion, but didn't take it to heart.His breath of dying wood is too obvious now, anyone with a discerning eye will know the purpose of his trip.

He didn't intend to hide it, it was also to give Zhi Dan a good impression.He came to ask sincerely, and if he really couldn't get the pill, he would find other ways.

Xu Miao sat there calmly, without speaking or expression, like a statue.This kind of Xu Miao has attracted the attention of most people. His combat power is against the sky, his spiritual sense is strong, and he is the proud son of heaven. He has always attracted people's attention.

After two hours passed, the [-]th monk finally completed the input of [-] kinds of spiritual herbs. Qi Wei checked it was correct and announced that the first round of assessment was over, and the second round of assessment would be held after a stick of incense.

Ten thousand kinds of spiritual grasses are continuously recorded into the spar, which is a very exhausting thing for the mind.Except for the relaxed expressions of the 100 people in front, the other [-] monks all looked extremely tired.

The sooner the monks who complete the first round of assessment can get more time to rest and recover their consciousness, the later the monks who barely finish it may make mistakes due to fatigue in the early stage of the second round of examination.

500 people regrouped in front of the square, waiting for the incense stick to rest.

"In the second round of assessment, [-] kinds of spiritual herbs of different periods will appear in the spar. You need to identify the spiritual herbs according to their appearance, and accurately introduce the functions of the spiritual herbs and the refining methods involved."

"For this round of assessment, only 50 people will be admitted. Now the assessment begins."

When the 500 people heard Qi Wei's words, they hurriedly picked up the spar.With their first experience, they quickly immersed themselves in their spiritual consciousness and identified spiritual herbs.

Xu Miao's movements were unhurried, and compared with the anxious monk beside him, she seemed calm and composed.

The onlookers didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Miao's behavior. They had already experienced Xu Miao's strength in the first round.

According to them, Xu Miao is able to get the first place in the time it takes for other monks to burn incense.Xu Miao didn't know what the onlookers were thinking, so he still followed his own steps.

The shape of the first kind of spirit grass appears in the spar, it is very simple, it is the most common big leaf purple bead in the cultivation machine.

The petioles and inflorescences are densely covered with off-white star-shaped hairs, and are mostly used as elixirs for strengthening bones. When refining, you only need to be careful not to mix with several spirit herbs that have conflicting medicinal properties.

Immediately afterwards, the appearance of another spirit grass appeared in the spar.I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but the top [-] kinds of spirit herbs are all very common spirit herbs in the cultivation world.

Xu Miao could recognize it at a glance, quickly mobilized relevant content from memory, and recorded it in the spar.

And after one hundred kinds, the difficulty increased significantly. The appearance of the spiritual grass when it was about to wither, the appearance of the spiritual grass after being picked, and the appearance of the spiritual grass just grown, all displayed in the spar.

The 500 people assessed on the field, after completing [-] kinds, also started a difficult stage.Some monks scratched their heads and thought hard, but they couldn't identify them after all, and could only watch the spar in their hands burst.

Some monks stopped for a while, and after reorganizing their thoughts, they began to identify the spirit grass.Of course, there are also some monks who are intoxicated in the alchemy, and have long been familiar with the shape of the spirit grass, so they can identify it without any pressure and proceed smoothly.

Xu Miao has never thought of studying alchemy. He can recognize it until now, all relying on his powerful memory and vast spiritual consciousness.Without these, Xu Miao would have been eliminated in the first round early.

Even so, when the 9000th species was identified, Xu Miao's speed slowed down uncontrollably.Some spirit grasses are so similar in shape that they are almost unrecognizable before they are fully mature.

Except for the monks who know these spirit herbs very well, ordinary monks can't recognize them at all.Xu Miao was recalling the jade slips he had read a few days ago, while carefully observing the spirit grass in the spar.

"Luo Shengyou, passed the second round of assessment." The first monk who completed the second round of assessment was born, not Xu Miao, who disappointed the monk who had always believed that Xu Miao would continue to be No.1.

"Hey, I thought Xu Miao would continue to be No.1."

"Xu Miao is just a person, not a god, how could he know every path so clearly."

"If you ask me, this Luo Shengyou is very likely to be accepted by Zhidan as a closed disciple."

"It makes sense, it makes sense. I know this Luo Shengyou. He was a disciple of an alchemy sect before. No wonder he performed so well this round."

All of a sudden, with Luo Shengyou's emergence, Xu Miao was no longer talked about, and the monks who watched all focused their gossip on Luo Shengyou.

Xu Miao knew very well what the monks were talking about, but he didn't care, and was still immersed in identifying the spirit grass.His success or failure is not based on the words of some people, but on his own little by little.

More and more monks have passed, the number has reached 40, and there are only ten places left for promotion.All the monks who were still in the assessment were sweating from nervousness, and one monk's mentality collapsed, and the spar directly burst.

Only Xu Miao is still at ease.He still proceeded at his own speed, recalling the contents of the jade slips and identifying complex spirit herbs.

"There is only the last place left, it seems that Xu Miao is about to be eliminated!"

"Unexpectedly, the first round is still No.1, and the second round is about to be eliminated. It's really an impermanent world."

There are two people competing with Xu Miao for the last spot, and all three are doing their best.It's just that the other two people looked extremely ferocious, but Xu Miao was not in a hurry.

The most tense moment in the second round of assessment is not who becomes No.1, but who can become the last monk to advance.Even the monks who have passed the test couldn't help but look sideways.

According to the brightness of the spar, the progress of the other two was faster than Xu Miao. They had already started to record the properties of the spirit grass, while Xu Miao had just begun to identify the last spirit grass.

Xu Miao couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, but this spiritual herb was actually Fengjiancao.
