The blazing flames were still burning fiercely in the southern medicinal field. As soon as Chen Mo and the person who reported the report entered, a wave of blazing hot air rushed towards them. Fortunately, Chen Mo had anticipated it, and with the slightest flicker of spiritual power, he dispersed the strong wave of air. Breathe the wind.
After his figure stabilized, he looked intently. There were dozens of monks near the fire who hurriedly used water spells to put out the fire. Otherwise, the fire would have spread to the entire Baicao Garden.
"Fu Quan, immediately open the Baicao Garden's communication ban and block the news. This matter must not be spread outside!"
Chen Mo knew very well that he was still in an illusion and was undergoing the third test.
As early as on the way here, the memory fragments in his mind were automatically put together. The owner of this body is called Luo Qiu, and he was a medicine garden deacon of the Fuyun Sect hundreds of years ago.
What happened now was something that existed in his memory. For some unknown reason, it was perfectly copied in the fantasy realm. What Chen Mo had to do was to spend the six hours that happened during this period as Luo Qiu.
Chen Mo guessed that there may be countless scenes coexisting in the illusion composed of vicissitudes of stone pillars. The applicants who come for the assessment each time have experienced different things, so that they are not afraid of being thoroughly studied.
From Luo Qiu's memory, Chen Mo learned the name of the person who reported it. His name was Fu Quan. He was the steward of this herb garden, and he could also be said to be Luo Qiu's confidant.
The firmness and calmness revealed in Chen Mo's tone made Fu Quan calm down a little. At this moment, he quickly agreed, took Chen Mo's identity token and left here quickly, activating several arrays in the garden. Fa, completed what Luo Qiu entrusted.
What Chen Mo didn't know was that if he hadn't immediately activated the interrogation ban, soon after, the disciples of the Sect Law Enforcement Hall would be waiting for him after hearing the news. At that time, he would be taken to the interrogation hall, where he would spend his time. A few hours later.
Of course, the Medicine Garden Deacon must have passed, but the level will be lower.
If he had been in the thatched hut before, with too many useless words and lack of backbone, the monks in the Baicao Garden would have panicked and not tried their best to save him. The fire would have spread beyond control and destroyed the entire Baicao Garden. garden.
Different handling methods will lead to various results. This is the purpose of the third assessment, and it is also a test to judge whether the monk can really stand alone.
So far, what Chen Mo has done is basically logical, and Luo Qiu's story continues to be told.
"Haha... Not bad, he reacted quickly and made prompt decisions. I finally saw an interesting little guy!" The red-haired old man's interest was even more aroused.
The fire in the southern medicine field gradually became smaller. Water waterfall technique is the most widely used method by Qi refining monks. Under Chen Mo's supervision, everyone exerted their strength and completely eliminated it in nearly two quarters of an hour. Flooding fire aura.
There are also some corners where the fire spirit energy will gather again, and there are special monks to inspect them to make sure nothing is missed. This is what Chen Mo meant.
Looking at the burnt medicine field, Chen Mo took a deep breath and said, "Are any monks injured?"
Dozens of monks lined up in two rows, looked at each other, and shook their heads. Apart from being a little disgraced, they really didn't suffer any serious injuries.
"As long as it's okay, He Lin, Jin Xun, you two find a few more fellow disciples to count the losses this time. In one stick of incense, I want to see the number of all the burned herbs!"
Chen Mo pointed at the two female cultivators and said, "Wang Xue, Yao Li, you two can carefully find out the cause of the fire. Is one hour enough?"
The four of them were the stewards in charge of the southern medicinal fields, so Chen Mo naturally placed the responsibility on them.
"The rest of the disciples will go back to their respective medicinal fields first, and stay quietly for a while before the matter is resolved. In order to thank you for your help to Baicao Garden, I will compensate each of you for your contribution!"
With three sentences and three orders, everyone here was controlled. The red-haired old man outside looked at him and nodded repeatedly, looking like he was deeply convinced.
As an assessment judge, he naturally knows the consequences of unstable military morale at this moment. If Chen Mo does nothing, dozens of monks will say goodbye together at this time and switch to other people's herb gardens. He will become a loner, living quietly here. Spent six hours.
Failure to conduct careful investigation will result in the truth being buried in the ruins forever.
Luo Qiu is a cultivator at the pinnacle of Qi Refining, and is also the deacon of the Medicine Garden. He is more than capable of managing dozens of monks at around the tenth level of Qi Refining. He is justified in every aspect, so no one questions his decision, which is all in an orderly manner. got busy.
Under his command, the cause of the fire gradually emerged. Yao Li compiled the information and reported it. It turned out that the damage was caused by poor management of the Sunflower under the care of a monk named Zhao.
The Sunflower burned on its own without using spiritual liquid to cool it down for more than three hours than expected. Because the number of plants was too large, the fire spiritual power spread extremely quickly, and by the time a monk discovered it, it was already too late.
"Senior Brother Luo, this is the loss of medicinal herbs this time!"
He Lin engraved the calculated number on the jade plate and handed it to Chen Mo. The latter glanced at it and got an idea. Then he threw the jade plate to Zhao Hu, who was half-kneeling on the ground and shivering. He said angrily with a gloomy face: "Look at the good things you have done! Who will compensate for the medicinal herbs worth nearly ten thousand spiritual stones?!"
Zhao Hu showed grief and anger: "Brother Luo, I... I was wronged!! I took care of the Sun Flower! They... burned themselves inexplicably!! It really has nothing to do with me It’s something!”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of sneer in the medicine field, and Jinxun was the strongest. He said coldly: "Up to now, the evidence is solid and we are still quibbling! It's ridiculous, aren't you the monk in charge of the Sun Flower? "?" After saying that, he raised his hands and said to Chen Mo: "Senior Brother Luo, I suggest you send him to the Law Enforcement Hall and report the loss truthfully. As long as Senior Brother uses it properly, it will not cause any harm to you!"
Chen Mo understood what he meant. He was not in the medicine field when the fire broke out. If he was punished for this, the rules within the sect would be too harsh.
Jin Xun's suggestion was to hand over the person responsible to the sect for disposal, and let Luo Qiu take the opportunity to punish the few stewards in charge of the medicine garden. The big things would be reduced to trivial matters. Door contribution is solved.
If there is confusion here, then his guilt will be greater. To be more serious, it is possible that the Fuyun Sect will directly cancel his qualification as a medicine garden deacon.
Chen Mo nodded slightly and said: "I have also considered this, but I need to interrogate this person personally and inform my colleagues in the Law Enforcement Hall later. As for you, you have worked hard for so long, I will make some contributions later. Compensation for you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Luo!" The four of them collectively bowed their hands and saluted.
Chen Mo waved his hand slightly, and Fu Quan took Zhao Hu away, who was completely stunned. The remaining monks were left to deal with the situation as soon as possible. This sudden incident in Baicao Garden was over.
...
"Excellent command ability, excellent adaptability, and excellent knowledge of medicinal herbs. I passed 50% in the third stage of the assessment, and my grades are above average!"
The red-haired old man nodded, and he had already concluded for Chen Mo. Outside the main hall, the white aura had already surpassed Lan Ruoxian and Li Muqing, and now jumped to sixth place in total height!
Some monks repeatedly exclaimed: "What? The deacon of the upper-level medicine garden?! This person really has some strength!"
"When this senior brother comes out later, I must establish a good relationship with him. I have decided to take over this person's mission!" Some monks said excitedly with other thoughts.
"Hey, it seems that he can't surpass Senior Brother Ye after all! This makes me happy in vain!"
"Haha, Senior Brother Ye is the genius of Fuyun Sect. No matter in terms of cultivation or character, who can compare with him!"
"That's true..."
On the other side, just when the red-haired old man thought that Chen Mo had stopped, he suddenly ordered Fu Quan to be on guard outside the door, and he led Zhao Hu into the house, as if with a different look, and said to him gently:
"Junior brother, please don't pay attention to the radical remarks made earlier. Please think carefully about what happened in Baicao Garden just now. This is very important to Luo."
"What?!"
The red-haired old man was breathing rapidly, with a look of incredible shock on his wrinkled face. Just now, he saw with his own eyes that this strange stone used for assessment was gradually transforming from purple to black!
The third stage of the assessment is based on the color and the applicant's specific performance. After 10% of the total progress, the strange stone will be green, the third stage will be sky blue, and the 50% progress will be dark purple.
The two female disciples yesterday were already good in his eyes, and they had just reached the 30% standard of sky blue.
The last time he lost his temper like this was seven years ago. The strange stone turned into 90% bright red. It was none other than the current genius of the Fuyun Sect's Qi Refining Peak - Ye Lantian!
Not only that, even the white aura outside the hall that had stabilized gradually became restless, and had a faint upward trend again!
"What? Senior Brother Luo, you..."
Zhao Hu, who had failed to take care of Sunflower, was also overwhelmed by Chen Mo's actions. Chen Mo was in a good mood, probably because he knew that he would pass this assessment, so he patiently explained:
"Originally I didn't think about it, but when I discovered that most of the burned jade dishes contained spiritual materials for alchemy that Elder Liang needed urgently recently, I guessed that this matter was very strange and there must be someone behind the scenes. !That’s why I gave you this opportunity.”
After a pause, Chen Mo continued: "The reason why I said that I wanted to hand you over in front of those people is just because I didn't want to alert others. Now, it depends on your performance. If you remember something, just Tell me quickly without hiding anything!"
When Zhao Hu heard that things were about to turn around, he quickly replied: "Yes! Senior Brother Luo, let me think about it... Everything was normal today. I communicated with the colleagues around me for a while, and then I took care of the Sunflower as normal. But not long after, they started to burn on their own... I shouted in a hurry and found a large number of my colleagues to put out the fire with me. You all know what happened next..."
