Chapter 41 Becoming a Spiritual Plant Master

"It turned out to be Captain Zhou!"

Xia Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Zhou Hai from the night patrol team was also here.

"Brother Xia, are you here to take the exam to become a spiritual plant master?" Zhou Hai was a little surprised.

"I've been lucky these past two years, and the spiritual rice I've grown is all top quality, so I came here to broaden my horizons."

Xia Chen smiled, very modestly.

"You are right to do so. It is not easy to pass the test to become a spiritual plant husband. I have taken the test for eight consecutive years. This year should be the most promising year!"

Zhou Hai was full of confidence. He came up and patted Xia Chen on the shoulder, saying, "After we go back, I'll teach you some planting spells when I have time. I guarantee you won't have to take a few detours in the past few years!"

"Then I would like to thank Captain Zhou!"

Xia Chen dodged without leaving a trace.

Just as Zhou Hai was about to speak, a sword light appeared in the sky, cutting through the sky and arriving in an instant.

Then the sword light stopped in mid-air, and the figure of an old man appeared. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning.

"I am Jiang Chuan, the elder of Sinong Hall, in charge of this spiritual plant husband assessment!"

"Meet Elder Jiang!"

The outer disciples present all saluted with a respectful attitude.

This Jiang Chuan was actually a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and he would not tolerate anyone present being reckless.

"In that case, let the assessment begin!"

Jiang Chuan nodded and continued, "The first level is to test the Small Cloud and Rain Technique!"

Afterwards, many servants came over carrying wooden barrels and placed them in front of each monk.

"The assessment rules are as follows: the size of the condensed rain cloud must be more than five square meters, and the rainfall must reach one foot and three inches."

The square is large, so every disciple has enough space to perform.

Furthermore, this was at the top of a mountain, with gusts of mountain wind bringing abundant clouds, so there was no need to worry about a lack of rain due to so many people performing the operation at the same time.

After a stick of incense is lit.

The outer disciples present at the scene chanted mantras, made hand seals, and began to gather clouds.

Soon, dark clouds began to appear over the square, and heavy rain began to fall.

With Xia Chen's level of proficiency, it would be no problem for him to condense clouds from all directions.

After all, Computer Pencil has disassembled various planting spells in detail and also made upgrades.

For example, upgrading the Small Cloud Rain Spell to the Large Cloud Rain Spell will greatly increase the rainfall, but the mana consumption does not increase much.

That's the scary thing about computer pencils.

Time passed little by little.

Some disciples were directly judged as failures by Jiangchuan because the size of their rain clouds was not enough.

Some outer disciples could no longer hold on, and the dark clouds immediately dissipated.

I could only leave with a disappointed look on my face.

Soon, the incense stick was burned out.

Everyone stopped their practice and the rain clouds dispersed.

Then, a servant took a ruler made of a wooden stick and started measuring.

"Rainfall, 7 inches and 5 centimeters, unqualified!"

"Rainfall, one foot and four inches, pass!"

……

After some measurement, only one-third of them were qualified.

The square suddenly became much emptier.

"Brother Xia, I didn't expect you to pass the test!"

Zhou Hai laughed loudly, "My rainfall reached one foot and five inches!"

"Captain Zhou's magic is very advanced, I am far inferior to him. I was just assigned to the edge of the square, so I was exposed to more moisture, and I luckily got through!" Xia Chen smiled.

"I see!"

Zhou Hai nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, the errand disciples brought in boxes of bamboo baskets filled with many red-gold locusts, making a buzzing sound.

"The second level tests the flying needle technique. Those who cannot pierce fifteen red-gold locusts within a cup of tea will be automatically eliminated!" After saying that, a disciple actually brought a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea with a rich and refreshing aroma.

Then, a servant took out bags of red powder and poured them into the bamboo basket.

The red-gold locusts that came into contact with the red powder suddenly went crazy, constantly flapping their wings and gnawing at the bamboo cage.

After the cage door was opened, a swarm of red-gold locusts flew out at an extremely fast speed.

The red-gold locusts seem to be numerous, but there are not many of them when they are scattered in an open square.

And they were sprinkled with special powder in advance, which made them very excited, and their flying speed was much faster than usual.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty.

Flying needle technique is one of the necessary means to solve insect pests.

For example, locusts, rhinoceros longhorn beetles, black-backed beetles, etc. all require the use of flying needle techniques.

Xia Chen had already reached the maximum level. He sacrificed a golden needle and pierced a red-gold locust in an instant.

The locust fell to the ground, still flapping its wings, but it couldn't fly.

Xia Chen quickly caught it and put it in a small cage.

Soon, Jiang Chuan finished drinking the cup of spiritual tea.

Immediately, some disciples began to check the number of locusts.

The red-gold locusts in this cage must have pinholes, otherwise they will not be effective.

The number of people stabbed by Xia Chen was sixteen.

Originally he only wanted to catch fifteen, but if he kept snagging them, it might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

Next, you will have to test the techniques of inducing growth, the techniques of herbs and trees, the techniques of Gengjin, etc.

For example, the technique of inducing germination requires that all the rice seeds in a bag germinate within the specified time, which is considered a pass.

The Gengjin Jue is to be able to cover the whole body with the Gengjin Qi and be able to resist the attacks of miscellaneous servants.

Finally, there were hundreds of outer disciples.

Only five people successfully passed, including Xia Chen.

Zhou Hai suffered a loss in the last level of Gengjin Technique. He was hit on the waist by a servant with a stick, and his Gengjin Qi was instantly broken.

There was clearly a hint of ambiguity in his eyes when he looked at Xia Chen.

"Congratulations, Brother Xia, for successfully becoming a spiritual plant master in your first assessment. I hope you will take good care of me in the future!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Hai changed his expression and became warm and generous.

"I am really lucky this time. Captain Zhou will definitely be promoted to spiritual plant master next year!" Xia Chen said modestly.

After some compliments, Zhou Hai left.

Afterwards, the five people came to the main peak.

After entering the Sinong Hall, a disciple registered the information of the five of them.

He also sent a palm-sized badge with the three big characters "Spiritual Plant Master" written on it.

"Junior Brother Xia, have you become a spiritual plant husband?"

From a distance, Yue Qing walked over with a look of surprise on his face.

"It just barely made it through!"

Xia Chen smiled.

"Luck is also a kind of strength!" Yue Qing then asked, "Which immortal mountain would Junior Brother Xia like to go to?"

The six immortal mountains all contain a second-level spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy.

The terraced fields in the mountains are all top-grade spiritual fields where precious spiritual medicines can be grown.

"I still want to go to the Shiwan Mountains to open up wasteland. Aren't there a shortage of spiritual plant masters there?" Xia Chen said.

Yue Qing was a little surprised when he heard this. He had previously persuaded Xia Chen to go to the Shiwanda Mountains to plant top-grade spiritual fields because he was not a spiritual plant master.

But now that Xia Chen has become a spiritual plant master, he no longer needs to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"You have to think it over carefully. Once you decide to go to the Shiwandashan Mountains, you can't be transferred back easily."

"Junior brother, of course, has thought it through!"

Xia Chen explained, "The Immortal Sect has been expanding outwards over the years, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are the top priority. If we go there early to open up the wasteland, we may be able to enter the Sinong Palace and become a deacon like Senior Brother Yue in the future."

Yue Qing nodded and said, "The Immortal Sect has indeed placed its focus on development in recent years. If you go there earlier, you can also obtain considerable resources."
