Chapter 41: Solve the question!

Nie Kong and Miao Ge looked up and saw two more figures coming in from the door of the palace.

They were two young men, both 23 and 24 years old. One of them was of medium height, with rough appearance, hard face lines and clear edges. The other one was not handsome, but his eyes were very sharp, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and his eyes were like the cold light flashing by the sword blade.

The sensation they caused in the side hall when they appeared was no less than that of Miao Ge, Taj, Ru Jie and Ye Xinlian.

Nie Kong poked Miao Ge next to him on the shoulder with his finger and asked with a smile: "Sister Miao Ge, these two people must be the masters of our Medicine Heart Palace?"

Miao Ge curled his lips and glanced at Nie Kong angrily, saying, "I don't know if he is a master, but he must be taller than you."

After saying that, Miao Ge frowned slightly again and muttered in confusion: "Aren't Feng Biao and Jiang Liu sent out to do business? Why did he come back so quickly to participate in the monthly assessment? Is it because of the rewards for this assessment?"

"Feng Biao, Jiang Liu?"

Nie Kong smiled unconsciously and said, "The one with big and thick on the left is Feng Biao, and the other with thin figure is Jiang Liu, right?"

Miao Ge covered his lips and chuckled, "You are completely wrong. The one with big and thick ones is Jiang Liu, and the other with Feng Biao."

Nie Kong said in a silence, "If they replace their names, they will be more coordinated."

"Who said no?"

Miao Ge Yanran said, "They are also third-grade spiritual medicine masters. They have been in the Medicine Heart Hall for two years. According to their strength, they were able to enter the inner city last year. However, they were bitten by spirit beasts while they were training in the Tianlang Mountains. They lay for a while and missed the Sixth Hall Competition at that time. If nothing unexpected happens this year, the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall who can enter the inner city will definitely be the second one."

Nie Kong looked at Miao Ge and quipped, "Senior Sister Miao Ge, I believe you, Taji, Ru Jie, Ye Xinlian and the others will be the fourth one."

Miao Ge hummed, "Where are you? It's one of them?"

"This is not sure. Maybe we can really go to the inner city to be company."

Nie Kong laughed, suddenly changed his tone and said, "Sister Miao Ge, you said just now that Feng Biao and Jiang Liu came for the rewards of this monthly assessment. Can you reveal it to me so that I can gain more knowledge?" As he spoke, Nie Kong was quite emotional. Excellent disciples like Miao Ge were treated well, and they could see the assessment list, and even the rewards of the monthly assessment could be known in advance.

"What? Are you interested in them too?" Miao Ge said with a smile.

"Of course, even if you can't get it, it's good to understand it."

"I won't tell you!"

A hint of crampedness flashed in Miao Ge's eyes, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her curled lips, and then she turned around and left gracefully.

Nie Kong laughed. Women should not be offended easily. Just now, she just said that she saw the little jade plaque that exposed her identity on her chest, and she thought about herself. Although she didn't get the answer from Miao Ge, Nie Kong began to liven up in his heart. What Miao Ge, Feng Biao and Jiang Liu and others care about should not be ordinary things, maybe a few precious drugs?

"Bang!"

A bell rings and the buzzing side hall suddenly becomes silent.

Then, the door leading to the main hall opened, and the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall who were closest to the door began to enter one after another. When Nie Kong followed into the wide hall, he found that there were about two hundred low tables in it, each with futons and various utensils.

In just a moment, all the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall had sat down.

Nie Kong glanced around and found that in the four positions in front, back and left and right, there were Ru Jie, Ye Xinlian, Taj and Miao Ge. He felt quite suspicious. There should be three sitting around him who were male disciples. Did he be dazzled just now?

After glanced at me, Miao Ge looked ahead with a expressionless face, but Taj squeezed his eyebrows cunningly. Nie Kong suddenly realized that it was not because he was confused, but because Miao Ge and Taj and the four women changed seats with others and deliberately sat next to him.

No need to guess, this is definitely Miao Ge’s idea!

What does she want to do?

Nie Kong thought about it secretly.

Miao Ge noticed Nie Kong from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his eyes rolling straight and his lips couldn't help but raise slightly. She actually didn't want to do anything, just wanted this guy to guess randomly and suspiciously. As for whether Nie Kong would have a poor score because of his uneasyness, she didn't care about it.

After having an experience in the Medicine Master Hall, Miao Ge knew very well that as long as this guy really calmed down, not to mention that he was sitting next to him, even if the hall was struck by lightning, it would be difficult to affect him. Otherwise, he would not even know who had written for him for so long to test the medicine.

"Crunch! Crunch..."

Amid the violent friction, the gate of the main hall gradually opened, and the disciples of Lingyu City who were waiting outside the hall flocked in. Not long after, the hall was surrounded by black people.

However, no matter how noisy they were outside, they became peaceful after entering the Palace of Medicine Heart.

There were only occasional puffs in the quiet hall, and everyone was not surprised by this. Those people must have raised their heads accidentally and were fascinated by the illusions on the roof. They would wake up after a while. The disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall who maintained order lifted them aside and ignored them.

Suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps sounded, and several figures walked into the hall. The ones walking in the front were Sha Yan, the deputy head of the Yaoxin Hall. Behind him were all the professors of the Yaoxin Hall. Nie Kong discovered that Luo Ren's slut was also following the last position.

"The assessment is about to begin!"

Nie Kong simply stopped thinking about the intention of Miao Ge and the other four beauties to surround themselves in the middle, calmed down and quickly eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Sandstone sat down at the front, and after his eyes passed by everyone, he nodded slightly at a middle-aged professor next to him.

The middle-aged professor understood and shouted loudly: "Everyone, there is a seed of 'Dragon Beard White Flower' on the table in front of you. There are eighteen kinds of medicines in each of the two medicine boxes. How to deal with this seed and thirty-six medicines is entirely up to you to decide!"

Nie Kong looked down at the table and saw that there was indeed a seed in the middle of the two exquisite medicine boxes. It was flat, but as white as ice and snow.

However, the questions of this monthly assessment are very strange. Only one seed and thirty-six drugs were given, but they did not explain clearly what to do with them, whether to refine or fusion of medicine, whether to confirm their pharmacological properties, or use them to combine spiritual medicine formulas?

Maybe not, or maybe they are all, or maybe they are one of them. Once you guess the purpose of the question wrong, you will definitely lose everything!

No wonder everyone says that the questions of this kind of monthly assessment are all kinds of strange. Even the most outstanding disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall have fallen into the monthly assessment.

You can see the questions raised in today's assessment.

Nie Kong looked around quietly and found that Miao Ge and Taj were frowning and pondering. Among the disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall who were farther away, almost everyone was thinking hard. Of course, there were still one or two guys still looking at the middle-aged professor blankly, thinking that they hadn't come back to their senses.

The middle-aged professor looked around everyone and pointed to the hourglass that were standing up in front of everyone, and his tone suddenly became heavy: "The hourglass is flowing, the assessment is over! Now, start--"

The hourglass turned over and over, and amid the rustling sound that was almost too thin, there was a "click" and the sound of "clicking" opening of the medicine box sounded one after another.

Seeing that the hourglass flowed quite slowly, Nie Kong estimated that this assessment would last at least one and a half hours, and it was quite time-consuming. Perhaps this also represents the difficulty of this assessment. In most cases, the longer the assessment time is given, the harder the question will be. Of course, there was also the opposite. There was a monthly assessment that only gave fifteen seconds, but it was also extremely difficult, but this was a very rare exception.

The medicine box was opened with a snap, and various strong or light aromas came to my nose. There were thirty-two kinds of medicines in the medicine box that Nie Kong knew and tasted by himself, all of which were relatively common medicines. As for the other four, Nie Kong had seen them for the first time.

After a moment of contemplation, Nie Kong took out a small pinch of one of the first-time drugs and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully. Although he knew the properties of these four drugs, it would be better to taste them one by one for the sake of safety, anyway, it would not take long.

Nie Kong, the "medicine tester", can taste medicine and distinguish the properties of the medicine anytime and anywhere, but other disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall may not have such skills.

While Nie Kong was testing the medicine, some disciples of the Medicine Heart Hall discovered the strange medicine in the medicine box and started to wail. The face became wrinkled and tighter.

I can’t even recognize all the drugs, so what can I use to complete this assessment?

I can only guess it all! But if I can succeed by guessing it casually, wouldn’t I be underestimating the IQs of the Deputy Palace Master Sandstone and those professors?

These guys felt like they were betrayed, their faces wrinkled into a ball, and they finally had to pick up the medicine and try it.

Some disciples in the Medicine Heart Hall were more clever than them. After discovering unfamiliar drugs, they didn't sigh and started to taste them directly. The drugs that can appear in the assessment questions cannot contain severe toxicity, right? They tasted them with confidence. Only God knows whether they can recognize the properties of the medicine!

A few disciples from the Medicine Heart Hall who have extensive knowledge found that they knew all the medicines in the medicine box were laughing and breathing a sigh of relief. The most feared thing about this kind of assessment is the appearance of strange drugs. After all, whether it is to identify the properties of the medicines or eliminate them, it will waste a lot of time.

Some people, although they cannot fully identify the drugs, have removed them all and began to think about what they can do with other drugs and the "Dragon Beard White Flower" seed.

"Hey, that's OK?"

When tasting the fourth unfamiliar drug, Nie Kong muttered in his heart. The first three drugs were also very ordinary, but the last one was a bit special and could actually promote plant growth and development. Its effect was very similar to Nie Kong's urea in his previous life.

But in terms of efficacy, it is probably countless times stronger than urea.

"It has both such a drug and the seeds of 'Dragon Beard and White-Beard Flower'. The questions for this monthly assessment..." Nie Kong's mind flashed, "Is it necessary to use the medicine here to cultivate the seeds of 'Dragon Beard and White-Beard Flower'? That's right, it must be like this!"

If he tasted it himself, he might take some more medicine to confirm it, but the medicinal properties were identified by him and Xiangxiang in cooperation with the "smelling fragrance and identifying medicine", and there would be no mistake.

Nie Kong slapped the table happily. When his palm touched the table, Nie Kong realized that it was not appropriate to make too much noise now, and hurriedly retracted the force of the slap, but the joy in his heart did not decrease but increased. Just like the composition of his previous life, only by successfully solving the topic can he start writing!

Taking a light breath, Nie Kong calmed down and began to take a closer look at the other thirty-two drugs.

If you want to successfully cultivate the seeds, it is obviously impossible to rely on the last taste of the medicine. Among the more than 30 drugs here, there must be matching them to enhance the medicinal properties.

A variety of medicinal properties flashed through his mind, and Nie Kong carefully pondered it. Using the combination of drugs, he followed the four words "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy". In his previous life, Nie Kongneng became a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor. In addition to his ancestral acupuncture techniques, he was also very proficient in this.

However, what surprised Nie Kong was that there were almost no ones that could be fully matched with that drug, and there were eleven of them that could barely match them.

In addition to nine dried herbs, two are liquids.

"Do you have to forcefully integrate their medicinal power?"

Nie Kong thought of the scene of Sandstone demonstrating the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" forcibly fusion of several drugs during his first lecture, and his heart suddenly jumped.

However, for the sake of caution, Nie Kong did not take action immediately, but instead pondered the medicinal properties of all the medicines in the medicine box. It was not until it was confirmed that it was correct that he made up his mind, took the medicine cauldron and put a total of twelve medicines into the medicine cauldron one by one.

To forcefully integrate the medicinal power, you still have to use "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls"!

I didn’t expect that I just learned this medicine last month and it would be useful in this monthly assessment.

Nie Kongxin felt secretly glad, but he didn't notice Sha Yan's face after seeing him throwing medicine into the cauldron.

"Dou!"

The cauldron cover was closed lightly, and with a fingertip, the medicine cauldron flew straight away from the table.

When it landed from a height of two meters, two green flames in Nie Kong's palm rushed up, just in time to sandwich the medicine cauldron between the two burning flames.

Almost at the same time, crackling sounds in the hall sounded one after another, and several fireworks rose at the same time.

For a moment, the temperature in the hall seemed to increase a lot. Seeing this moment, the sudden burst of brilliant fireworks finally made the quiet hall cry.

"These people are so fast. At most, only a quarter of an hour has passed. I have figured out the questions for this monthly assessment. I am still confused."

"So too, I can't think of what the seed of the 'Dragon Beard White Flower' is for?"

"Hehe, don't you see who are the ones who are starting to refine medicine now? Did you see those two? They are Jiang Liu and Feng Biao, both strong men from the Medicine Heart Palace, and that, that... They are Taj, Ru Jie, Miao Ge, and Ye Xinlian. They are not only beautiful but also very powerful, but also... Well, who is the bastard who is caught between four beauties?"

"What he used is wood spiritual power? Could it be mutated wood spiritual power? I have watched the monthly assessment of the Medicine Heart Hall so many times, and this is the first time I have seen a wood spiritual master!"

"I heard that the 'pharmacy tester' is also a Wood Spirit Master who practices mutant spiritual power. Could it be him?"
