21 points? the last one? !
Yang Zhen was stunned.
How can it be!
After all, I was a top student in my previous life! This life...
With his strong memory, knowledge beyond his peers, his diligence, and the guidance of Yiyi, an herbal expert, how could he do so poorly in the exam?
Oh, no, Yiyi...
Her guidance…
Yang Zhen suddenly slapped her brain and understood what the problem was.
The last question is about the extraction of medicinal properties from red clover!
Red clover is a very common spiritual herb. The method of refining its medicinal properties has been directly boiled for thousands of years, but the control of the heat is a bit particular.
This question should test the understanding of fire control.
But I followed Yiyi's suggestion and cooked it with fire-fighting grass. Controlling the heat was not that important.
Out of trust in the little thing, he remembered this method and was not impressed by the method in the book.
When I answered the questions in the morning, I wrote them down by hand and answered them in a flash.
This is a big question, and the estimated nine points deducted are all here.
"Hey!" Yang Zhen sighed sadly. The selection had just begun and he was already several points behind the others.
"What's going on?" Seeing him sigh, Zhao Yuer asked strangely.
She knew Yang Zhen's usual performance, and this score was definitely not his true level.
Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then told her guess with a wry smile.
"The effect is really better if it is mixed with fire-fighting grass?" The little girl was greatly surprised. Of course she also studied herb identification.
Yang Zhen nodded firmly. In this world, when it comes to understanding medicinal herbs, no one is better than Yi Yi who understands the language of herbs.
"Let's go find the mountain chief!" The little girl suddenly became anxious: "Don't let people deduct your points randomly!"
She believed Yang Zhen. Since he was so sure, he couldn't be wrong.
…
Chief Yuan Shan lives at the entrance of this compound, guarding the students in Zhuyang County like an old concierge.
When Zhao Yueer told the whole story, he was also puzzled:
"Boiled with fire-fighting grass?" He looked at Yang Zhen: "Who did you listen to? Are you sure?"
Yang Zhen nodded without hesitation: "I heard it from an uncle selling red clover at the market once. I tried it later and it was indeed true."
"You kid," Yuan Shanchang pointed at him angrily: "Even if it's true, you have to follow the book during the exam!"
"I forgot what was in the book, so I just remember this." Yang Zhen said embarrassedly.
"Grandpa Shanzhang," the little girl yelled from the side: "Since Xiao Shitou is right, we cannot let him suffer this loss in vain. We have to go to the Canon Department to complain."
"It's still a matter of debate whether it's right or not!" Yuan Shanchang pondered for a moment: "I will ask someone to go to the market tomorrow to buy these two kinds of herbs and test them first. If Mr. Yang is right, I will naturally appeal on his behalf."
"Grandpa Shanzhang, I have already told grandma that she will send someone to deliver these two herbs later. Also, grandma will do the experiment herself." The little girl said crisply.
"You girl, you move very fast!" Yuan Cheng laughed loudly: "Okay! When the medicinal herbs arrive, I will stay awake tonight and give you a test result!"...
He has seen the two children's flirting with each other these past few days. Zhao Yue'er cared so much about Yang Zhen, so of course he was willing to do his part and sell his favor in front of this future genius.
But, you two are so good, how come you were so bruised in the finals?
However, there are some things he still has to say up front:
"The medicinal herbs are handled by the Medicinal Hall. They are responsible for setting and correcting the questions for this exam. Even if we appeal, they may not respond quickly. It is very likely that there will be no explanation by the end of the selection..."
"What should we do?" The little girl frowned slightly.
"There are two exams ahead," Yuan Shanchang comforted: "Based on previous years' experience, if the total score is over 60, the top 800 will be no problem. If the total score is over 70, you will definitely have a place in the top 300... "
"So, boy Yang, you'd better prepare for the next exam!"
…
The next step is to examine the cultivation level.
According to the introduction by Mammy and Master Na from the Canon Department yesterday, the assessment of cultivation is very simple and clear. It is to kill as many monsters as possible and pass through the checkpoints in a large formation composed of mirror images. The more monsters you kill, the more checkpoints you can get through. , the results will be better.
In short, it is all based on one's own strength, without any falsehood.
Therefore, this assessment accounts for the most points, with a total score of 50 points.
On the ninth day of March, at midnight, the schoolchildren who had had breakfast walked towards the back hill of the manor under the leadership of their teachers.
Many schoolchildren have already learned the results of yesterday's literary test, and they are talking in twos and threes. Those who got perfect scores were naturally happy; those who felt they shouldn't lose points booed and sighed, worried about their future performance.
There were also people pointing at Yang Zhen, especially Zhao Ying and Zhao Lian, the children of the Zhao family. There were many people surrounding them, asking them which Yang Zhen was ranked last.
Yang Zhen ignored it as he had long been accustomed to such scenes in the county.
This morning, Yuan Shanchang has informed the results of last night's experiment. After adopting the method he proposed, the medicinal properties of red clover can be increased by 20%.
Yuan Shanchang has already reported the situation, and is waiting for the results.
…
Along the mountain road and over a small hill, in front of you is a huge square covering an area of 100 acres.
On the left side of the front of the square, a two-story high platform was built. A middle-aged man was standing on the high platform with his hands behind his back.
This man is dressed in brown robes, has a majestic body, a dignified appearance, and a pair of tiger eyes that are calm and intimidating. You can tell at a glance that he is a person with a decisive character.
Below him, there were several people standing, all wearing the same clothes.
Under the guidance of the teacher, all the students came to the opposite side of the high platform and stood in order according to the states.
The right side of the square is empty, leaving a large open space.
When everyone arrived and the whole square became quiet, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and without saying a word, he took out something and raised his hand.
The object floated towards the right, growing bigger and bigger on the way, and in the end, it turned into a simple and solemn hall.
After a muffled "bang" sound, it landed on the right side of the square.
The dust was flying, and it took a while for it to slowly fall silent.
Yang Zhen has already heard from her grandma that the palace where this magic weapon is transformed is the location of the Nine-Nine Illusion Formation, and it is also the place where they will be taking the assessment today.
This large formation can allow 324 people to enter at the same time. Each person is in an independent space and faces the monsters inside alone.
At this time, the middle-aged man glanced at the audience and said loudly:
"I, Qin Chihuo, am the deputy head of the teaching hall of Chuan Gong Academy, and also the examiner of this immortal seedling selection..."
After introducing himself in a few words, he continued:
"This assessment of cultivation will be conducted in two days. On the first day, each student's mana thickness and spell casting speed will be examined. On the second day, they will enter the Nine-Nine Illusion Formation and fight the monsters inside..."
Everyone in the audience was stunned when they heard this. Why is it different from usual?
