Chapter 104 Leader

Brother Xiu shook his head, and then said: "It is indeed extremely difficult for casual cultivators to obtain high-level skills, and the price is also very high.

I think fellow Taoists are also people with ambitions, so you might as well consider the Immortal Fa Sect.

In the sect, everything may be lacking, but it is impossible to lack skills.

Not to mention advanced Five Elements Kung Fu, there are definitely no shortage of top Five Elements Kung Fu. "

"Of course I know that."

Zhou Changwang shook his head and said.

The question is, is the sect so easy to enter?

Even if he has the Shuiyun Order, he can't get in with his Five Elements Spiritual Root qualifications.

Only with the deputy position and the identity of a first-level mid-level spiritual planter can it be possible to get started through this ladder.

Just like entering the top 500 companies in the world in the previous life, those with a college degree could not even get in. Only with special skills and the introduction of special talents can others be included.

A truth.

Only if you are talented can others take a fancy to you.

If you don't have any skills, you can either struggle hard or just lie down and relax.

After bidding farewell to Brother Xiu, Zhou Changwang strode towards Lingzhi Hall.

Today's Lingzhi Hall is much busier than usual.

At the assessment site, dozens of monks gathered together. To Zhou Changwang's surprise, he also saw an acquaintance there.

Zhao brothers.

As before, they were planting spiritual fields at the foot of Changling Mountain. However, the two brothers had higher cultivation levels and planted medicinal fields, so they rarely interacted with ordinary spiritual farmers.

It wasn't until the last night of chaos that many spiritual farmers were taken in, and Zhou Changwang helped them get rid of pests at the invitation of the other party, and they had more interactions.

"Zhang Zhou...Fellow Daoist Zhou, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a while and you have reached the fourth level of Qi training."

There were only about thirty people in total, and the Zhao brothers quickly saw him and came over. Among them, Zhao Qiang wanted to call him by his name, but after sensing that his cultivation level was already comparable to his own, he immediately changed his mind.

"Fellow Taoist Zhao Qiang, Friend Zhao Jie."

Zhou Changwang did not deliberately hide his cultivation. He greeted the two of them and said, "Good luck. I made a breakthrough by chance."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is also participating in the spiritual planter assessment this time?"

Zhao Jie also asked from the side.

"You also..."

Zhou Changwang was confused. He had always thought that the two of them were spiritual planters.

"I have taken the test five or six times, but this time my brother is still a little confident, but I am a little bit behind. I just want to give it a try."

Now that he is at the same level, Zhao Qiang has become much kinder and is not as difficult to contact as before.

"Not necessarily. It has been stuck on Gengjin's finger for so many years. It has no metallic spiritual roots. It is indeed too strenuous to practice this spell.

Over the years, the two of them spent a lot of spiritual stones for the assessment of this spiritual planter.

Fortunately, if you become a spiritual planter, the Spiritual Planting Hall will give you three acres of spiritual land to cultivate for free, which is worth it. "

Zhao Jie waved his hands humbly, and then said with emotion and expectation.

"But Fellow Daoist Zhou came to take the assessment at such a young age, so I think he has a lot of confidence."

Zhao Qiang then asked curiously.

"I'm just giving it a try."

Zhou Changwang smiled modestly and said.

“Yes, it’s good to give it a try, and you’ll be sure next time.

Unlike that one, who is said to be a disciple of the high-level spiritual planter Gu Qianhe. I heard that spiritual planters are very good at it. He has long threatened to pass the third level with spiritual seeds. It is estimated that becoming a spiritual planter is already a certainty. . "

Zhao Jie couldn't help but patted Zhou Changwang's shoulder to express comfort, then looked at a monk in the distance who was surrounded by people, and said with envy.

"Yeah, try it first, familiarize yourself with the process, and be confident next time, and then pass the assessment in one fell swoop.

Anyway, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities. "

Zhao Qiang also comforted him.

"I think so too."

Zhou Changwang had no choice but to answer the question and looked at that person.

He looks to be in his twenties, with a somewhat ordinary face, but his eyes are bright. Even if he is praised by others, he does not show too much pride. He stands in the crowd and handles it quite appropriately.

"Gao Mingyi."

Zhou Changwang's eyes moved slightly as he recognized this person.

When Zhou Changwang was an apprentice in Lingzhi Hall, this person had already emerged and was often compared to him. He was a leading figure among the apprentices in Lingzhi Hall at that time.

Especially after hearing that he was favored by a first-level high-level spiritual planter, his reputation reached its peak.

Many Lingzhi Hall apprentices took him as an example for a while.

Zhou Changwang's predecessor was also very envious at the time.

Now, I didn't expect to participate in this spiritual planter assessment with him.

Before you know it, the assessment time has arrived.

With the arrival of the five examiners, the original discussion was lowered.

Zhou Changwang was standing in the crowd and heard some comments, "It's Master Yang Ping. I didn't expect that it was him who was in charge of the assessment this time."

"In addition to Yang Ping, there is also Liu Yuanqing, a spiritual planter. Liu Yuanqing is a newly promoted high-level spiritual planter in the Lingzhi Hall. I heard that he recently participated in cultivating a new type of spiritual rice, which is said to be a rare spiritual plant that has been lost for nearly a thousand years. Mi, I'm very busy. I didn't expect that I would have time to preside over the spiritual planter assessment?

It seems that this assessment has very high standards, right? "

“Two first-grade high-level spiritual planters, and two first-grade mid-level spiritual planters, of course the standards are high.

I heard that if you rank first in this assessment, there will be rewards. "

"If you come first in the assessment, will you be rewarded every time?

I remember that last month, it was a second-grade spiritual seed. The one who won the first place last month was Wu Qiong, and he was directly accepted as a disciple by a high-level spiritual planter..."

"It's different this time. Lingzhi Hall took out a Qingyuan Order."

"Qingyuan Order?"

"This is the entry token that can directly enter the Qingyuan Sect."

Suddenly, the faces around them became solemn and showed signs of surprise, and their eyes became fiery.

"Haha, what does this Qingyuan Order have to do with you guys?

This was obviously prepared for Gao Mingyi.

It's no wonder that he threatened to win the first place early. It seems that he got the news a long time ago and regarded the Qingyuan Order as his own. "

…

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a good thing in this assessment.

Qingyuan Order, with this you can directly enter the Qingyuan Sect and become a disciple of the sect.

It's a pity that we are just running with him. The Qingyuan Order in the end must be of high meaning.

Even this reward was applied by his master, Gu Qianhe, to be specially reserved for his disciple. "

Zhao Qiang also heard the discussions of the people around him and said in a sour tone.

“No wonder there are so many more people participating in the assessment this time than usual.

However, such a good thing is destined to have no chance with us, and it is useless to think about it. "

Zhao Jie on the side also spoke, feeling somewhat calm.

His family knows his own affairs, so he is not sure whether he can pass the assessment this time, so how can he dare to expect to win the first place in the assessment.

"Not always."

Zhou Changwang narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly.

The Zhao brothers didn't pay attention to Zhou Changwang's words, they just thought that there were other masters in the crowd.

Of course, there are indeed several confident monks who are gearing up and planning to show off their skills.

Never let the high meaning and exclusive beauty outshine the former.

After all, there is no age limit for the spirit planter assessment. Many people have rich experience in spirit plantation. After hard training in the three techniques of spirit plantation, they are not bad at all.

"Okay, everyone, let's enter.

The first assessment is the Ling Zhi knowledge assessment. There is a paper on the table. You answer the questions according to the questions. The paper is divided into 100 and 60 points to be considered qualified. Only after passing the test can you participate in the second assessment. "

Immediately afterwards, Yang Ping, a first-level high-level spiritual planter, spoke and said hello.

A group of people ended their discussion and entered a wide venue under the leadership of several examiners.

In the venue, there are small tables. Not only are the corresponding numbers written on the tables, but there are also papers, which are obviously the test questions this time.

Zhou Changwang glanced at the registration voucher, No. 7, and then walked to the corresponding desk.

"Let's get started, you have half an hour to answer the questions.

After answering the questions, we corrected the papers on the spot.

Then the next round of assessment begins. "

After seeing everyone take their seats, Yang Ping spoke.

The two mid-level spiritual planter examiners then left and patrolled among the candidates to prevent anyone from cheating.

"I didn't expect that after cultivating immortality, I would have the experience of returning to the examination room."

When Zhou Changwang saw all this, he couldn't help showing a look of laughter or tears on his face.

This exam is his strong point.

A typical question writer from a small town is not nervous at all.

His eyes fell on the paper, which contained some basic questions about the planting and cultivation of spiritual plants.

Fortunately, he had reviewed in advance before the exam. He had many years of experience and was able to answer each question without any difficulty.

What's more, there are multiple-choice questions on it.

This is more convenient.

In just one stick of incense, he had almost answered the question.

Of course, out of caution, he started checking it from beginning to end.

"Teacher, I've finished my answer."

At this moment, a voice came.

But Gao Mingyi stood up directly and spoke.

As he opened his mouth, several others soon spoke the same way, and then one by one, under the attention of everyone, handed the test papers to the front of the stage, in front of several examiners.

Zhou Changwang didn't stand out. After checking to make sure there were no omissions, he followed a female cultivator and handed in the paper together.

Naturally, the two mid-level spiritual planters were responsible for correcting the papers.

Because they were all relatively simple basic knowledge questions, the corrections were completed quickly.

Most of the thirty-five candidates are monks at the third level of Qi training or above, many are at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, and only two are at the second level of Qi training. For this kind of basic memory question, even if you make a mistake, it will be It will only appear in one or two places, but it won't be a failure.

Therefore, all members were able to pass the assessment.

Zhou Changwang took one last look at his paper score. Unexpectedly, he got a perfect score, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Next, is the second assessment.

This assessment tests the three techniques of spiritual planting, that is, the three techniques of spiritual rain, birth promotion and Geng Jin Finger.

The Spiritual Rain Technique is okay. The casting range is half an acre, which should be enough. Geng's golden finger can also pierce through gold and stone. It can hit anything within a foot. It is this birth-inducing technique. I only started to learn it three years ago. Although in the past three years, I have practiced a lot, but if I want to pass the test, it is probably quite difficult. "

Zhao Qiang approached Zhou Changwang and said nervously.

"What is the casting time of your birth spell?"

Zhou Changwang has known for a long time that other people's judgment on the progress of various spells is not as clear as his own, and there is no division between mastery, minor success, great success, and perfection.

They can only judge whether their spells are proficient by how much they consume, and the effects and power of the spells.

And this proficiency is a very vague concept.

Proficiency can become proficiency, and even minor success can be achieved.

Dacheng can be almost instantaneous. Naturally, even if one has reached 'Dacheng' in cultivation, most monks will not think about improvement at all after cultivating their spells to this level.

Because, in their opinion, this is the manifestation of practicing magic to the limit.

Very few people continue to waste time on the same spell.

Because of this, Zhou Qiang did not have an obvious judgment on the spells he mastered.

“Three breaths.

In this regard, I am far inferior to my brother, who only needs one and a half breaths. "

Zhao Qiang continued.

"Then it shouldn't be difficult to pass this assessment."

Zhou Changwang calculated silently and judged that his birth-inducing technique should be at a proficient level, so he couldn't help but speak.

As for his brother Zhao Jie, his procreation skills should be at the level of minor success.

"Okay, let's move on to the second assessment.

I think most of you have mastered the three techniques of spiritual cultivation.

Next, you only need to cast these three spells in sequence. The Spiritual Rain spell needs to cover three-thirds of the area, and the Geng Gold Finger needs to hit the target two feet away.

As for birth control.

Everyone comes here to receive a grass seed, and they only need to germinate the grass seed after a spell to pass. "

Soon, an examiner spoke and explained the rules.

This time, they will not participate in the assessment together, but one by one.

According to the respective exam number.

Zhou Changwang is number seven, so he is ranked seventh.

The first one was a fat man about twenty years old who looked a bit fat.

He first used the Spiritual Rain Technique. Within three breaths, the Spiritual Rain Technique was cast by him and fell on the ground in a pattering pattern. The coverage area just reached three-thirds of the area. In this way, he passed the first step in the spell. item.

In the second item, the Geng Gold Finger also successfully hit two feet and landed on the bull's eye.

For the third item, he chose a grass seed and cast a birthing technique.

However, after ten full breaths, the grass seeds failed to sprout.

In this case, the assessment will be considered a failure.

The fat man's face suddenly fell, revealing a look of disbelief.

He clearly remembered that he had already mastered the birth-inducing technique, so why could he still not make this grass seed sprout?

Unwilling to be reconciled, he quickly cast the spell again.

It's just that a candidate only has one assessment opportunity. Even if he succeeds in casting the spell for the second time, he will lose the qualification.

What made him even more desperate was that after the second birth-promoting technique fell, the grass seeds still failed to germinate.

Such a blow made his face turn pale and he felt a little lost.

Soon, the second monk conducted the assessment. This was an old spiritual farmer who looked to be in his thirties, with a dark face and habitually rolled up his trousers.

His Spiritual Rain Technique, when used, covers half an acre. It is obvious that he has already reached the stage of success.

Then Geng Jin's finger did reach two feet, but the accuracy was poor and failed to hit the bull's eye, missing by three points.

There was no second chance at all, and he was eliminated.

The third one, finally all three spells passed the test successfully, especially his birth-promoting technique, which not only caused the grass seeds to sprout, but also made them grow half a foot long.

Obviously, his procreation technique has also reached the level of small success.

The fourth, the fifth...

Of the six people in front, only two were able to pass.

Soon it was Zhou Changwang's turn.

He didn't mean to show off himself, he just paused slightly and leaned forward, then stretched his hand forward a little.

The drizzle of rain then fell.

Covering exactly three points of the ground.

The second item, Geng Gold Index, is even simpler.

With a flick of his finger, a golden light shot out, directly hitting the bullseye and passing through.

the third item.

Zhou Changwang's eyes fell on the grass seeds in the bag in front of senior spiritual planter Liu Yuanqing.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a glint of light, and then he casually took a grass seed from it.

This is a kind of grass called Tangqingcao. It is about the size of a little finger. He placed it casually in his hand and used the birth-promoting technique.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, and life burst out on the grass seed. A bud quickly sprouted and grew half an inch in length.

That’s it.

Zhou Changwang dissipated the aura.

After sprouting, even if he passes the test, he no longer needs to waste his spiritual energy to grow to the limit.

"pass!"

Liu Yuanqing glanced at Zhou Changwang and whispered.

There was an intermediate spiritual planter on the side who made a record.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou’s spiritual planting method is indeed extraordinary.

The second assessment was passed directly. "

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou. As long as you pass the next assessment, you will directly become a spiritual planter."

When the two brothers Zhao Jie and Zhao Qiang saw this, they quickly gathered around, Dao Xi said.

"lucky."

Zhou Changwang smiled modestly, then performed a soundproofing technique, and said: "In the third test of the fertility technique, 10% of the grass seeds in the bag were dead seeds.

When choosing between two Taoist friends, you should be careful.

If it is a dead seed, then no matter how well you practice your rebirth technique, you will still fail the test. "

Zhou Changwang noticed just now that the first fat man's birth-inducing technique was actually not bad at practice. Even if he had not reached the level of minor success, it was still at a deeper stage of mastery.

Two consecutive birth-inducing spells failed to make the grass seeds sprout, so there must be something wrong.

That’s why he used the spiritual eye spell to check when selecting.

As expected, he observed that one out of ten of the grass seeds had no vitality and were dead seeds.

That’s why he reminded the Zhao brothers at this time.

After all, they were familiar with each other.

He was naturally willing to show kindness.

“Really?”

The two of them changed their faces slightly, and they were all shocked.

“Thank you for telling me!”

Then, they all thanked him solemnly.

As expected.

In the subsequent assessment, there were a few unlucky people who directly picked the dead seeds. No matter how they cast the spell, they couldn’t make the grass seeds sprout.

One person even cried anxiously.

But it was useless.

There was only one chance.

Failure is failure.

They could only leave sadly.

And the Zhao brothers, after Zhou Changwang’s reminder, after the previous two spells passed successfully, deliberately selected carefully from the grass seeds, and successfully made the grass seeds sprout and passed this assessment.

"The spiritual rain covers an acre.

As expected of Gao Mingyi, I didn't expect that he could cultivate the spiritual rain spell to such a high level?"

Just at this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

It was Gao Mingyi who was taking the test.

A spiritual rain spell had a very large range, as large as an acre. Many people were soaked, but they didn't care. Their faces were full of shock.

Few people could perform the spiritual rain spell with an acre range, even among formal spiritual plant masters, so everyone around seemed a little shocked.

Because this cannot be achieved by hard work and practice.

You must have excellent talent and guidance from a famous teacher.

And Gao Mingyi has all of these.

Not only does he have the spiritual roots of water, wood, and gold, which just fit the three spiritual plant spells, but he also has the personal guidance of Gu Qianhe, a high-level spiritual plant master...With this performance, it seems that it is not impossible.

When everyone thought of this, they felt a little sour.

Then came the second test.

Genjin Finger

Gao Mingyi stood in front of the stage, as if he had not made any preparations at all. A Gengjin finger had already shot out along his finger.

Puff!

Not only did it instantly penetrate the bull's eye, but it also extended several feet backwards before gradually dissipating.

"Another great achievement."

Zhou Changwang was also surprised when he saw this.

It seems that the leader among the apprentices of the Lingzhi Hall is still a bit of a talent.

After all, the other party is not like him, with an attribute panel that can be infinitely improved.

Although it is indispensable to the guidance of a famous teacher, if he does not work hard and has outstanding talents, he will never be able to do this.

He also passed the third induced birth technique easily.

Not only did it cause the grass seeds to germinate, but it also made them grow continuously. After reaching three feet, the grass leaves turned slightly yellow and stopped growing.

"His induced birth technique should have just entered the early stage of great success.

If it had reached the middle stage of great success, the grass seeds would have turned yellow and produced new grass seeds."

Zhou Changwang looked at the grass seeds that had been induced to grow and made a quick judgment.

There are differences between the early stage of the great success, the middle stage, and the late stage.

Although it is just a bunch of data on his attribute panel, as a person who has truly practiced this spell to perfection, he can of course judge the difference from the changes in the spiritual plants after each spell.

It can be said that.

It is also a birth-inducing spell at the great success stage.

The birth-inducing effect is also very different.

In the early stage of the great success, the grass seeds can be germinated to withered yellow, and in the middle stage of the great success, the grass seeds can be withered yellow and then condensed into grass seeds.

In the late stage of the great success, the grass seeds can be made from germination to withered yellow to form grass seeds and make the grass seeds germinate again to withered yellow...

As for the birth-inducing spell that Zhou Changwang practiced to the perfect level.

After a spell, the grass seeds can be optimized first and turned into spiritual grass seeds, and then continue to take root and sprout, and then grow to the limit.

It can be said that the growth is induced only after the grass seeds are fundamentally optimized and evolved.

This process.

At least it was the result of ordinary grass seeds growing for ten generations and selecting the best from the best.

In other words.

It was a perfect level of birth-inducing technique.

At the very beginning, it saved the grass seeds from ten growth cycles.

It made them transform and evolve into spiritual grass at the very beginning.
