Next to them, the Red Clothes Sect's disciples cheered up the Red Clothes Sect's contestants, "Come on! This round is about herbs. When it comes to our familiarity with herbs, we are much better than some people! We will definitely not lose to anyone!"

The disciples of the Green Clothes Sect rolled their eyes at the Red Clothes Sect and said to their fellow disciples, "Don't bother with them! Some people are proud of their low cultivation. Our master said that those people in the East Peak can make medicine by memorizing a few prescriptions. They rely too much on elixirs and other external objects, always want to take shortcuts, and don't pay attention to their own cultivation. Therefore, the number of people who can achieve Taoism and become immortals has never been comparable to our Green Clothes Sect. It's only been two years, and you've forgotten who you are."

"you-"

The Red Clothes Clan was hit in their soft spot and almost vomited blood.

The man in red said, "Doctors should memorize prescriptions to prescribe medicines. What's wrong with that? Since our ancestors left us a shortcut, why not use it properly and maximize the resources for your own benefit? If you only focus on practicing hard and take a detour of 80,000 miles, and then come to your senses and find that there are already easier and more effective ways to practice in the world, wouldn't that be pitiful?"

"Besides, doctors are supposed to treat people. Although you have the path to immortality, you have to practice hard for ten years before you can cure diseases and save people, and it takes hundreds of years to reach the ninth heaven. There are countless people who give up halfway. Even if they persist, only a few can reach the heaven. Most people spend their whole lives in mediocrity, and their efforts to cultivate immortality are in vain before they die. However, our Red Clothes Sect teaches the best prescriptions and medical skills to our disciples. It only takes three years for them to diagnose diseases and prescribe medicine. Their medical skills are amazing and they have saved countless lives. There are many talented people in the sect. Most of the reputation of Xinglin Peak is built by our Red Clothes Sect. Those who have been treated by our Red Clothes disciples in the mortal world, who would not praise our Red Clothes disciples for their skillful hands and loyal hearts? Even if you have no chance to ascend to immortality, it is worth your trip to the mortal world!"

The red-clothed disciple's words won cheers from other red-clothed disciples.

Of course the blue-clothed disciple was dissatisfied after hearing this and was about to refute it.

The red-clothed disciples and green-clothed disciples in the examination room soon became so engrossed in the quarrel that they did not notice that the herbs and medical instruments for the examination had already been delivered. Even the younger disciples who came to deliver the medicine joined in the quarrel because they each had their own duties.

Only Xue Li quietly looked at the herbs placed in front of her, ignoring the disputes around her.

In her opinion, both medical techniques and prescription medicine making are important to learn, and there is no distinction between the two. Cultivation is cultivation, and there is no need to argue.

Xue Li wants to win against the Xinglin Society, so she is observing the herbs that have just been delivered.

Cold ginseng.

Cordyceps.

Baiweihua... and so on and so forth.

These herbs are not particularly rare, so the prescriptions made from them should not be difficult.

The herbs were delivered, which meant that we could start drawing questions and making medicine. While the others were still arguing, Xueli walked forward alone and took a piece of paper with a question written on it from the box. There were only five words written on it:

Baicao Jiuweidan.

Xueli breathed a sigh of relief.

This was something she had learned since she was a child. She had listened to her aunt's medical teachings since she was young. She could make this simple prescription when she was seven years old.

Xue Li calmly took out a small alchemy furnace and a nine-grid square wooden box, then used a medicine basket to select the spiritual herbs and flowers she needed from among the many herbs, and then began to make them with concentration.

Pick the herbs cleanly, remove unnecessary old leaf veins, and leave only the young leaves.

Cut the ginseng into small pieces that are convenient to use.

Use magic to soak the spiritual energy of flowers and plants, so that they remain in a state suitable for refining...

In fact, what the red-clothed disciples and green-clothed disciples said just now were not right. This competition itself was very fair. The red-clothed disciples were certainly more familiar with the prescriptions of decoctions and the properties of the herbs themselves, but refining and processing herbs requires techniques and cultivation, and neither can do without the other.

Xueli followed the steps one by one and began to make the Baicao Jiuwei Pill. From an unknown moment on, the surroundings gradually became quiet, and all the sounds seemed to have faded away. Xueli was concentrating on refining the pill.

When she just started making the herbs, no one noticed her. The disciples of the Red and Green Sects did not fail to notice that the herbs had been delivered, but the initial test was simple and they had plenty of time. When they were arguing fiercely, they could not calm down and no one was willing to give up first. Even if someone noticed that the only casual cultivator in the room had already started making medicine, they did not care.

However, after a while, when Xue Li had made the first pill, someone discovered that Xue Li was making the Baicao Jiuwei Pill.

The first disciple noticed Xue Li's actions and unconsciously lost the energy to argue anymore. It was as if something was strangling his throat and he could only look at Xue Li in astonishment.

After noticing something was wrong, the other disciples also stopped one after another.

Baicao Jiuweidan is one of the most difficult pills that may appear in the initial test. Not only is it difficult to make, but the prescription is also difficult to remember. Because Jiuweidan contains one ingredient per pill, a total of nine pills need to be made, and the time is very tight. It also means that there are many herbs that need to be processed, which is very cumbersome in all aspects.

But Xue Li's movements were as natural as flowing water, and her light-colored sleeves fluttered like clouds. The disciples had never seen such smooth movements, and even the masters might not be able to do it so beautifully. Her sleeves kept brushing over various herbs, but without getting any stains on them, and her movements were light and graceful.

When they saw Xueli's appearance, they vaguely realized that they had heard from other disciples of the Immortal Sect that a real fairy had come to Xinglin Peak, who was born very pure and beautiful. The girl in front of them had such a look that they could not think of her as anything other than a fairy.

Is this the medical skill of the gods

But they had clearly inquired and found out that this fairy was only sixteen years old!

As we all know, medicine is different from other cultivations in that it places great emphasis on experience and inheritance. Therefore, the older you are, the more advantages you have. Whether or not you are a deity may not have such a big impact. Xue Li's proficiency is almost enough to put all the disciples to shame.

At this time, Xue Li and other mortal disciples did not notice that in addition to them, there were many other people who were also quietly paying attention to Xue Li.

All the tests and examinations of the Xinglin Society were open to the public. However, because Xueli concealed her spiritual energy and the other disciples in the examination hall were not well-known, not many people watched this preliminary examination... except for the wolf officers who came to observe Xueli on the orders of the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen.

At this moment, in a place that Xue Li could not notice, several wolf officers surrounded her, all staring at Xue Li who was making medicine.

The wolf officers had no ill intentions, but they looked at Xue Li with surprise and curiosity.

Is this the girl that the young master fell in love with when he was wandering outside

The wolf officers looked at Xueli curiously.

Previously, in order to help everyone find clues related to the young master, the love letters written by the young master during his disappearance have been circulated among the wolf officers. Now everyone in the entire wolf realm knows that the young master fell in love with a fairy named Xueli during his disappearance, and the young master was deeply in love with her. In the eyes of the young master, this girl is very beautiful, and may very well be a medical fairy.

To be honest, many wolf officers were amazed the moment they saw Xue Li in person.

This girl was indeed so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her, like a drop of water wrapped in a pearl, gleaming with a clear light that even gemstones could not match. She looked very gentle, and the wolf officials did not understand medicine, but seeing the other medical immortals gradually gathering around them, as well as the shocked expressions of the disciples of Xinglin Peak present, they could guess that Xueli's performance was probably very good.

The young master has been raised by the wolf officers since he was a child. Not only the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen care about the young master, but these wolf officers also look at him as if he were their own child. Therefore, they are bound to be picky about things related to the young master.

But after reading the letter in which the young master had written earnestly with his young heart to express his feelings, he knew that he was probably really in love, and the girl in front of him seemed to be quite nice. They couldn't have any contact with Xueli for the time being, but the eyes they looked at Xueli had become much kinder. Although they were still unsure about their relationship, looking at a young couple like Xueli and the young master was almost like looking at a young couple.

Even if Xueli is mixed in with ordinary people like this, it is still unclear whether she is just a human or has some original form. But this is not a big deal and can be put aside for the time being.

For a moment, Xue Li, who was concentrating on making medicine and not paying attention to her surroundings, achieved a strange harmony with the people around her, visible or invisible, who were watching her.

It took the disciples of Xinglin Peak a while to realize that they also had to participate in the competition. They hurriedly ran to draw questions and choose herbs.

The preliminary competition required ranking, and each group of 15 people had to rank, and only the top five could continue to participate in the Xinglin Association. The Xinglin Association also had a competition between the Blue and Red factions, and the top five in each group could have their points credited to their faction, and the scores would also be different depending on the ranking.

In this group, Sydney naturally won the first place.

It is said that when this group of prepared medicines were presented, they were obviously just the products of the initial test, and usually people would just take a casual look at them. However, the heads of various peaks surrounded the Nine-Flavor Pill made by Xue Li for more than an hour, exclaiming that it was too excellent, and asked which peak the disciple was from. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the fairy cultivator who had visited Xinglin Peak before. The expressions on the faces of various peak heads were immediately very interesting.

The preliminary examination will last for several days and involve several rounds of competition.

In the next few days, Xue Li won consecutive matches and won first place in every match. The results of the competition would be announced on the bulletin board, and all the disciples would check it every day. Xue Li's name would be in the most eye-catching position every day.

Originally, her fame lay only in her beauty and her status as a deity. Even in a large Xinglin Peak, some people didn't care about her. But now, because of her medical skills, she has caused a sensation again, and almost everyone is paying attention to her.

On this day, the eldest disciple of the previous generation of Xinglin Peak, whom Fang Yi called "Uncle Master", ended today's competition.

There was a lot of noise outside the examination hall, and there were three circles of people standing there, all of them were there to see the master.

Master Bo has been the champion of the Xinglin Association for four consecutive sessions. Therefore, even if it is just an unimportant preliminary examination, countless disciples will come to watch his competition. It is in stark contrast to the deserted schedule in other examination venues and is very lively.

However, Master Uncle was used to such scenes and was unmoved. After handing in the finished product, he frowned and quietly retreated to the backstage, where a younger Red Clothes Sect disciple had been waiting for him.

Master Uncle asked: "Have the results of yesterday been announced? How are they?"

In every Xinglin Association, he would pay attention to the most outstanding disciples. These were the opponents he might meet in the finals, so he had to take them seriously.

The young disciple nodded excitedly and replied, "It's out! So far, all of them are first, except for you, Master Uncle. As in previous years, it's Xun Wang from their Green Dogs. In addition, this year there is another independent fairy who has never lost so far. She is the one I mentioned yesterday, Fairy Xueli."

The master was stunned.

The author has something to say: I'm cooing again, my sisters are waiting for me, I'm leaving first, I'll make up for the overlord ticket today, thank you, love you cute qaq
