Outside the outer gate of the Alchemy Academy, the long steps are a symbol of the Alchemy Academy's status, and it is also a test.
Above the starting point of the steps, a burning incense stick was suspended. It's almost burned to the end, but only one-third is left.
Suddenly, on the steps, two figures, one white and one red, rushed upward at extremely fast speeds...
Under the steps, tens of thousands of people stared at this scene in stunned silence. They couldn't believe their eyes!
What about the embroidered pillow you promised? !
Can't you walk a few steps as promised? !
Did you agree to just use your status to oppress people? !
What about the joke you promised? !
Even Feng Ping was extremely shocked at this moment, his eyes widened. Just now, he was still laughing at the two of them for overestimating their abilities, but now, the wind-like speed and the ease of walking on flat ground were simply slapping him in the face, causing a burning feeling to rise in his cheeks. pain.
Tens of thousands of people, so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Zhao Nanxing stood among them, feeling refreshed and feeling slaps in the face constantly ringing in his ears.
Just now, how much these people looked down on his fellow seniors and sisters, how much they were sarcastic and sarcastic, and now his cheeks hurt so much!
Two figures, one after the other, rushed into the clouds and smoke at the top of the steps. Then, he appeared in everyone's sight again, quickly approaching the bottom of the steps.
There is only the last bit of incense left floating in the air.
The speed of the two people became faster and faster, and the red and voluptuous figure seemed to be one step faster.
In fact, the difference between the two is less than two feet.
Finally, the red figure stood at the starting point first.
As soon as she stood firm, a white figure stopped beside her. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, the burning incense was suspended in the air, and a breeze blew away the last of the ashes.
The incense is burned out.
Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong returned to the starting point before the incense burning ended.
'How can it be! Feng Ping looked at the two of them in shock, his chest felt tight, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
He didn't want to believe what he was seeing, but it was the truth!
Not only was he shocked, but tens of thousands of people were also shocked.
The square, crowded with tens of thousands of people, was silent. The shock in their hearts was far less than that of Feng Ping. Because they have not personally experienced the power of that step. As for Feng Ping, he knew that even he himself would find it difficult to go back and forth within the time of burning incense.
In the courtyard, the deadline given to him was actually two sticks of incense.
However, he was given such an ambiguous instruction to 'do things cheaply'.
Therefore, he changed the two sticks of incense into one stick without authorization.
He originally thought that this first level would be able to drive away these two arrogant guys who tried to take the back door and challenge the rules. Unexpectedly, they gave him such a shocking blow.
"this… "
"Am I dazzled?"
"Is this a fake step?"
The crowd of onlookers began to slowly regain their consciousness.
Some people didn't believe how difficult it was to climb the steps, so they quietly walked towards the steps driven by curiosity. He climbed the steps, and as soon as he took the first step, he felt a strong repulsive force coming towards him, making him almost unable to breathe.
He blushed, gritted his teeth, and took another step.
As soon as his feet landed on the second step, he felt that his spiritual consciousness was greatly impacted. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew out.
His body drew an arc in the air and fell toward the ground.
The onlookers hurriedly stepped back, leaving an open space. And he fell heavily to the ground, and everyone only heard the sound of cracking bones.
His test and the result made tens of thousands of people who wanted to enter the Alchemy Academy take a breath.
The surroundings became quieter.
Everyone just heard Feng Ping snort and say disdainfully: "You don't overestimate your capabilities."
Soon, the guards from the Alchemy Academy came up and carried the man away. Naturally, he missed the subsequent assessment. A person who can only reach the second step cannot possibly pass the test.
However, what he did made the onlookers realize that the steps were really weird and not that easy to climb. Not everyone can achieve the ease and speed that Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong did before.
With this comparison, the onlookers' eyes changed a bit when they looked at Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong.
They couldn't help but wonder, are these two guys who can easily run quickly on the steps really just idiots who use the back door
There was silence all around.
"Cough." Mu Qingge coughed lightly, breaking the silence around him.
Her voice caught Feng Ping's attention, and his surprised eyes fell on her subconsciously before he could completely restrain himself.
Mu Qingge smiled slightly and asked, "Excuse me, has this first level been passed?"
There was no arrogance in her tone, just calm and calm. He didn't feel at all that what he and Mei Zizhong did had shocked others.
Feng Ping's eyes darkened.
Such a result was unexpected by him.
However, being able to go back and forth from the steps within the stipulated time does not mean that they are qualified to enter the inner courtyard!
The inner courtyard of the Alchemy Academy is the sacred place of the entire Alchemy Academy. How can it be that even cats and dogs can enter
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Feng Ping's eyes, and he reluctantly said: "Forget it." Then, he immediately said: "But don't be complacent, you just passed the first level by luck, and the remaining two levels It’ll just be harder.”
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Mu Qingge's mouth, and she cursed in her heart: "Which of your eyes saw me being proud?" '
"Please come up with a question." Too lazy to argue with Feng Ping, Mu Qingge tossed his sleeves casually, put his hands behind his back and raised his chin to say to him.
Feng Ping smiled coldly and said loudly: "This second level is to identify the medicinal materials."
"Identifying medicinal materials? What's so difficult about it? Who can come to this Alchemy Academy and not know several medicinal materials?"
"Is it possible that the Alchemy Temple wants to release water openly?"
"Impossible. If you want to let them go, just put the two of them into the inner courtyard secretly. Why do you need to conduct today's assessment?"
"Then this second level is too easy."
Discussions arose one after another.
Most of them are questioning this test question. This kind of doubt shocked Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong after they passed the first level.
Feng Ping raised his hand and stopped the discussion around him.
When the surroundings were completely quiet, he said: "This identification is divided into front and back parts. In the front part, you can only look at each medicinal material for a blink of an eye before you have to say their name. If you hesitate or make a mistake, you are out. In the back part , blindfolded, discerning only by smell, same error."
Damn it!
Identify medicinal materials in the blink of an eye? Can you identify medicinal materials just by smelling them
And it can’t be wrong
You know, there are thousands of medicinal materials. Among many similar medicinal materials, the appearance is only different in details. If you don’t observe carefully, it is easy to make a mistake. And the smell... for people who don't know anything about medicinal materials, it's probably just the same smell. For those who know about medicinal materials, you can’t judge medicinal materials just by smelling them.
Make things difficult!
This is really making things difficult!
Those who had previously said that this test was easy and that the Alchemy Academy was letting off steam now obediently kept their mouths shut.
"It's too much! It's so difficult, at least allow for a few mistakes. None of them can be bad. Can the people in the Alchemy Academy do it on their own?" Suddenly, a female voice bluntly expressed their grievances for Mu Qingge and the others.
As soon as this voice came out, Feng Ping's face darkened.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows. This voice was not unfamiliar to her. It belongs to Song Jinshan. However, what surprised her was that Song Jinshan would actually speak for herself at this moment.
"Ignorant child! As an alchemist, if you are not familiar with various medicinal materials, what if you use the wrong medicinal materials when refining the elixir, and the life-saving elixir turns into a poisonous elixir that kills people? Identifying medicinal materials is just a matter of being a person. It's just the basic skills of an alchemist. You can't go wrong in any of them. It's also the most basic requirement for an alchemist." Feng Ping reprimanded coldly.
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong, and said sarcastically: "If you can't even meet your own requirements, why are you still making elixirs? It's better to go home and play in the mud."
"You!" Song Jinshan couldn't help but want to say more.
But the female companion next to her grabbed her and whispered in her ear: "Shut up! What does their matter have to do with you? Provoke the elders of the Alchemy Academy like this, Master, you don't want to enter the Alchemy Academy Is it done?"
Song Jinshan struggled and wanted to continue speaking, but at this time, Mu Qingge spoke. "let's start."
Three words, so crisp and clear that it is eye-catching.
At this moment, these tens of thousands of people noticed that from beginning to end, the faces of the two guys who were going to go through the back door were very calm, without even a trace of embarrassment or panic.
Why are they so confident
This confidence made Feng Ping very unhappy. He snorted coldly and waved.
The two boys behind him immediately stood up. They each held a thick book in their hands.
The two opened the book simultaneously, and suddenly, a golden light shot out from the pages, projected into the air, and condensed into the shape of a plant.
"Damn it! Look at the pictures and identify them! It's really a test of your eyesight!"
"Moreover, it can only be identified in the blink of an eye... How can I identify it if I can't see clearly?"
Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong ignored the whispers around them.
Feng Ping said coldly: "Start."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two children standing on his left and right began to turn the pages of the book quickly. The pages in their hands were in different order, but they came to assess Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong at the same time.
When the first different name of the medicinal material came out from the two people's mouths at the same time, everyone understood Feng Ping's 'good intentions'.
'That's too much! 'Zhao Nanxing's gentle and jade-like features were full of gloom. Everyone else could see it, so how could he not see that Feng Ping did this to create difficulties for Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong, and wanted them to interfere with each other.
"Cordynia."
"Brother King."
"Canava."
"Senecio."
"Eichhornia fruit."
"Three white grass."
"Three Ya Ku."
"Nine Dragon Vine."
"Seven-leaf lotus."
"Eight-angle maple."
"Seven-leafed flower."
"Leaf like flowers."
"Guya."
“…”
However, as the names of the medicinal materials were announced clearly and neatly, tens of thousands of people gradually showed shock in their eyes and faces...
