Beauty and the Bodyguard

Even if he didn't deliberately try to kill them, he had to at least come up with a strategy to suppress their points in the subsequent assessment rounds. After all, their current points ranking was too glaring!

Meng jueguang pinched his chin and curled his lips as he looked at Lin Yi's group in the distance. I'll let you be proud for a while. I didn't have time to deal with you before, so I let you take advantage of the loophole. Next, you'll be crying!

Putting aside the troublesome Lin Yi, if it was just Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, these two newbies, Meng jueguang wouldn't have taken them seriously at all. In his eyes, dealing with these two people was a piece of cake!

According to the usual practice, after all the newcomers of the three pavilions had gathered, Pavilion master Hu Yunfeng would appear and announce the rules of the next assessment segment. Just like the first segment of the suppression-resistance assessment, the location of the third assessment segment was also not at the welcoming new pavilion but the pill Hall.

However, to be precise, the third round was not the pill Hall's assessment. Pavilion Lord Hu Yunfeng leading all the newcomers to the pill Hall was just a formality. He wanted everyone to pick some spirit herb seeds from them and bring them back to cultivate them.

As everyone knew, any cultivator in the world of cultivation had to deal with all kinds of medicinal pills. The only difference was how many pills they had.

Some people had strong backgrounds and great conditions-they could eat all kinds of pills for a living, but some didn't have the conditions and could only save up resources so that they could use a pill to help them break through at the most critical time. There were even people like Lin Yi who were alchemists themselves, making all kinds of pills themselves.

In short, no matter what kind of person they were, they would need the help of all kinds of elixirs in their long cultivation life. Otherwise, in today's world where the spiritual energy was getting thinner by the day, it was simply unrealistic to rely on their own efforts to break through. Even if they could succeed, it would only be a very small number of people with extremely high talent. The other 99% of people could not do without all kinds of elixirs.

But to make a pill, other than the need for a professional pill master, the most important thing was the rare and common ingredients. Without all the ingredients, even a pill God like Liju couldn't do anything without rice.

However, any spiritual medicine was a treasure of heaven and earth. Even the most common and low-grade spiritual medicine was only compared to other spiritual medicine. Compared to other plants, it was still an extremely rare and precious item. It was impossible to collect it in large quantities, let alone other rare goods like the heart-devouring exquisite grass.

Naturally, the method of artificially growing spiritual medicine came into being.

However, although spiritual herbs were also plants, they had harsh requirements for their growing environment. They were far more demanding than ordinary plants and flowers. Even if there were cultivators who specifically spent a lot of energy to take care of them, their survival rate would always be maintained at an extremely low level. Moreover, their growth cycle was generally very long. They often worked hard for decades. If they were not careful, they would wither and die. All their efforts would be in vain.

However, after thousands of years of experience, the Sky Class island's cultivation world had already come up with a very mature method to grow spirit herbs.

Not only was its survival rate much higher than before, but with the addition of manual ripening methods, its growth cycle was also greatly shortened. Many common spiritual herbs could be planted and cultivated on a large scale to ensure its supply and demand.

Of course, this was only limited to some common spiritual herbs. Most of the special spiritual herbs were extremely rare, and there was no experience in growing them. Their survival rate was still extremely low. Otherwise, if it could be cultivated on a large scale, it would have been popularized a long time ago, and not called a rare spiritual medicine.

Looking at the entire Sky Class island's northern part of the island, the most authoritative in the area of growing spiritual herbs was naturally the hall of pills.

This time, Hu Yunfeng had brought the newcomers from the three pavilions here to collect the seeds of various spiritual herbs. They would then bring them back to their respective cave abodes to be nurtured. This was the third segment of the newcomer assessment, the spiritual herb trial.

The pill Hall was the same as the law enforcement Hall. It was the most famous outside of the three great pavilions on the North Island. It was one of the few independent halls that could be heard by everyone.

Compared to the law enforcement Hall, which was cold and quiet but had an extremely strong pressure, the pill Hall was built on the mountain and welcomed people in all directions. Regardless of the architectural layout or the flow of people, it was obviously much more amiable and easy-going than the law enforcement Hall. At least, it would not make people feel uncomfortable.

After all, strictly speaking, other than being an independent Department of the three great pavilions and being responsible for the supply of pills for the three great pavilions, the pill Hall was also a large Chamber of Commerce organization similar to the Hong Chamber of Commerce in a sense.

Don't forget, the miserable senior brother was still pondering whether he should gather 200 pieces of spiritual Jade and come to the pill Hall to find an Alchemist to help refine the foundation building barrier-breaking pill.

Every year, just by collecting fees from refining medicinal pills for others, the pill Hall could earn an astronomical amount of wealth. In addition, the pill Hall also cooperated with large merchants like the Hong Chamber of Commerce to sell all kinds of medicinal pills in bulk. This way, it would earn another astronomical amount of wealth.

With the two added together, the pill Hall was definitely one of the richest departments in the three great pavilions. Even the spirit Jade Hall, which was responsible for mining spirit Jade, was at most on par with it.

It was also because of such a huge financial resources that the pill Hall could support the wide collection of all kinds of rare spiritual medicines and spend a lot of money to win over many alchemists. Otherwise, if these two things could not be done, the pill Hall would only exist in name.

Under Hu Yunfeng's lead, the newcomers of the three pavilions climbed up the mountain. After bypassing layers of antique buildings, what appeared in front of the newcomers was an intoxicating verdant.

Even from a few hundred feet away, one could smell the refreshing fragrance of the spirit herbs. This was the most important source of the pill Hall's spirit herbs, the spirit herb garden it had developed.

It covered an area of several dozen acres and consumed a lot of manpower and resources. The pill Hall had planted and cultivated hundreds of spiritual herbs here. In order to ensure a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, high-quality spiritual jades filled with spiritual energy could be seen everywhere on the ground.

In a natural environment, there was no need to deliberately do this for the growth of normal spirit herbs. The spirit herb nursery was obviously doing this to increase the production. If it was allowed to grow naturally, there would not be many spirit herbs growing in this small area of dozens of acres.

As far as the eye could see, not only were there all kinds of priceless spiritual herbs, but there were also spiritual jades all over the ground. It was a breathtaking sight. The rookies from the three pavilions, who had never seen such a world before, could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This place was like a paradise on earth! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
