After receiving Chen Mo's exact answer, the red-haired old man nodded, led him to a strange stone placed in the side hall, and said lightly: "Press your hand on it, and the assessment will begin."
Chen Mo naturally did as he was told. The moment he almost touched the stone, there was a roar in his mind, and his whole body experienced an inexplicable tug. When his eyes became clear again, he had already arrived in a foggy space.
"here it is....."
Before Chen Mo touched it, he could tell that the strange stone was made of the same material as the stone pillars outside the temple. If his prediction was correct, this place should be an illusion composed of stone pillars.
Just when he was calming down, the overwhelming spiritual grass seeds suddenly fell from the sky above him and fell densely on the ground. At the same time, the fog dissipated. Chen Mo lowered his head and saw that there were colorful spiritual seeds below.
"In the first stage, within one hour, select five hundred spiritual seeds that you are familiar with for planting and cultivation. If the survival rate is less than 70%, it is considered a failure!" The cold voice of the red-haired old man, in this world of spiritual seeds, Suddenly echoed.
Not to mention five hundred, even five thousand, Chen Mo could find them among the densely packed spiritual seeds, but the old man actually said that this was only the first stage, which was very intriguing.
"This is definitely not as simple as it seems..." Chen Mo analyzed secretly in his mind while quickly picking up the spiritual seeds he recognized. In just a few breaths, he had collected more than thirty spiritual seeds. .
"If there are only 500 ordinary spiritual plants, any monk who has been planting them in the Herb Garden for many years can do it. However, there are only more than 20 people who have become deacons of the Medicine Garden. This shows that the problem must lie in these five plants. On hundreds of medicinal herbs!”
Chen Mo thought about it carefully, then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he murmured: "I seem to understand..."
He threw out more than a dozen of the seeds he had selected earlier to show his abandonment, and then sifted through the sea of spiritual plant seeds. In a short time, he collected five hundred familiar spiritual seeds. Grass seeds.
In the northernmost part of this space, there is a wide spiritual field, where the selected seeds need to be planted. Chen Mo walked over quickly. Here, all the cultivation tools and required materials were ready, and he only needed to Just plant it.
At the same time, the ocean of spiritual seeds selected earlier gradually disappeared into the fog, and slowly disappeared from Chen Mo's sight, as if to tell him that there was no way back.
"Apply Rehmannia glutinosa essence three times. It is appropriate for the roots to reach three inches!"
"Poria blue and white flowers, buried two feet and one inch deep in the ground, watered with seventy drops of spiritual liquid!"
"Qiangguo, this thing melts when it sees the soil. You need to use Ten Thousand Flower Vine as a matchmaker and just climb it!"
"Transformed into ambergris, planted in a place full of yin energy..."
...
On the other side, the red-haired old man saw Chen Mo in the environment through the mirror, and couldn't help but be confused: "What on earth is going on? The elite disciples in the sect gathered together to apply for the medicine garden deacon. Is it possible that something happened to Fuyun Sect?" What's the big deal?"
Judging from Chen Mo's planting methods and the early selection of spiritual seeds, the red-haired old man was impeccable. This disciple did even better than the two little girls yesterday, so it was logical to regard Chen Mo as one of them. My beloved disciple at Zhangfeng.
Not only the red-haired old man was also surprised, but even the few monks outside the hall who were watching the vicissitudes of stone pillars were also startled. They did not catch up with the lively scene yesterday, so they came here today to make up for it and observe what Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Li left yesterday. There were traces, but it was unexpected. Not long after, a cloud of white air rose from the bottom of the stone pillar, which seemed to be accumulating strength and rising!
"Is there anyone else evaluating deacons?!" Several monks became interested! You must know that those above the foundation building stage cannot hold the position of Qi refining stage. Therefore, in the past hundred years of Fuyun Sect, there are only more than 20 medicine garden deacons now!
It means a lot to them to be able to witness the birth of a deacon again!
Just half an hour later, this ball of white air suddenly shot upwards at a staggering speed, easily two inches above the ground!
"Oh my god! What speed is this? It's actually faster than Senior Sister Lan and the others!"
"What! How is it possible..."
"Zheng was present yesterday and can testify that it took the two senior sisters nearly an hour, but this person actually completed the first stage in half an hour. Could it be that... his talent is higher than the two senior sisters! "
These seven or eight disciples were truly dumbfounded. Just today, they might have witnessed a miracle happen!
...
On the other side, after Chen Mo stuffed the last seed into the spiritual field, the calm voice of the red-haired old man sounded again: "According to the current planting method, the survival rate is over 90%, and the first stage has been passed!"
"In the second stage, within three hours, if you successfully give the gray shadows who come to ask for spiritual plants a thousand times, you can pass!"
Not long after Chen Mo heard this voice, another flower appeared in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a herb garden. Looking around, behind him were the five hundred mature herbs he planted. What it looks like after!
"What a magical illusion..."
Chen Mo was greatly surprised. Before he could do anything, a smooth white bubble suddenly emerged from the colorful light curtain in front of him. It exploded without warning and spread into a foggy gray shadow. , stood quietly in front of him.
Chen Mo looked intently and saw three words clearly written on his abdomen: Hailan Mo!
"So that's it!" Chen Mo suddenly realized in his heart, and hurriedly went to the Herb Garden and took out the sea blue ink he planted. It was a blue-black sweet potato-like spiritual object. He slowly put the sweet potato into Hui Ying's abdomen. I saw it nod slightly, and its body actually dispersed like smoke.
Not long after, another group of white bubbles fell to the ground and turned into a gray shadow. Chen Mo happened to have what it asked for, so he did the same thing again, stuffed the spiritual grass into its abdomen, nodded again, and left in the form of light smoke. .
Until the fourth bubble came, what it asked for was the Heavenly Desire Fruit, which was not planted in Chen Mo's Herb Garden. He had no choice but to pick up a piece of gravel on the ground and put it in. Gray Shadow shook his head and turned to The last one fell to the ground, forming a bright red mark.
Chen Mo understood that the assessment content here was indeed related to the management of the Herb Garden. The first stage tested his ability to identify medicinal herbs. He was able to select several thousand common spiritual seeds for planting among hundreds of thousands. This requirement required Applicants must have extremely solid basic skills, and they must also not be arrogant and complacent.
If a fledgling monk insists on expressing himself and randomly selects nearly a hundred rare spiritual plants, he will definitely fail here when the gray shadow asks for it in the second stage!
After all, the assessment requirement is a thousand times, and the applicant only planted 500 herbs. Calculating this, when requesting later, there will definitely be a situation where several herbs are mixed together. Whichever one is missing will result in giving s failure.
Chen Mo had anticipated this, so he chose a combination of herbs that could be refined into elixirs!
This was a little difficult for the pure medicine garden deacon, but it was relatively easy for Chen Mo. As he expected, after successfully giving it a hundred times, when the gray shadow appeared again, it automatically split into two, and each time Dao Huiying's abdomen is starting to match more than two kinds of herbs!
Chen Mo carried out in an orderly manner. If there was any in the medicine garden, he would stuff it in, and if there was not, he would fill it with stones. As time went by, the white bubbles appeared more and more frequently. Similarly, at least a dozen of them were used each time. The gray shadows come together, and the requirements they bring are also different.
It seems that Chen Mo's choice is correct. Two hours have passed and he has completed a thousand requests for giving. However, the gray shadows still keep appearing. It seems that the gap between others is widening in this second moment. Within the link given by the stage!
Chen Mo didn't know that on the vicissitudes of stone pillars in the outside world, his white aura had already reached the middle. He was still two feet away from Lan Ruoxian and Li Muqing!
Under his breath, he had already crushed five or six experienced Medicine Garden deacons!
"There is still one stage that has not been completed! Look, this person's aura is still rising!" A monk looked shocked and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief!
"If nothing else, his identity as the deacon of the medicine garden has been determined!"
"Tell me, can he surpass Senior Brother Ye and get the title of number one deacon in the medicine garden!"
Looking along everyone's line of sight, at the top of the vicissitudes of stone pillar, there is a large missing piece, which is the handiwork of what everyone calls Senior Brother Ye!
...
"Turmeric crystal, blood nanmu, Tianbu Ganoderma, Cuijinghua...fortunately, I planted them all!"
Chen Mo estimated the time in his mind, and he no longer supported the arrival of the next white bubble. The one in front of him should be the last one. He handed out all the spiritual herbs he needed. Under the nod of the gray shadow, dense red bubbles appeared on the ground. The mark and his illusory body were blown away by a strong wind.
It is impossible to meet all the gray shadow's requirements. Chen Mo did not count the number of completed tasks, but it should be more than two thousand times. He just doesn't know what kind of achievement it can be considered in the outside world.
In the midst of the chaos, the red-haired old man's voice sounded from his ears again: "Successfully given spiritual planting a thousand times, the second stage is passed!"
"There are no requirements for the final assessment! If you wait for six hours, you will be considered successful and you will be given the status of Yaoyuan Deacon!"
The red-haired old man did not see Chen Mo's performance in the second stage, otherwise his voice would not be so calm.
At this moment, he is looking at everything in the bronze mirror attentively. As a criterion for judging, he will personally take the final assessment to test whether he can withstand the qualifications of a deacon!
"Just let your boy handle this matter!"
The red-haired old man chuckled, and a few rays of his spiritual thoughts penetrated into the stone, which immediately opened Chen Mo's eyes, who was resting in the thatched hut with his eyes closed.
"Bang bang bang..."
Someone was knocking on the door eagerly. Chen Mo glanced outside with his spiritual consciousness and said calmly: "Come in!"
But as soon as the words came out, Chen Mo noticed something was wrong. The voice that spoke was not his. Although there was confusion on his face, he was not too panicked, but calmly faced the arriving monks.
"Senior Brother Luo! It's not good!! There is a fire in the southern part of Baicao Garden!! Go and have a look!!"
The speaker looked panicked, and Chen Mo frowned. Even before he could figure out what was going on, he quickly stood up and quickly walked out of the thatched hut with the reporter and entered the Herb Garden.
"..... He didn't panic when something happened, and he didn't make any sloppy inquiries. This is the best place!"
The red-haired old man gently twirled his beard and nodded slightly.
