Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 159 Counting
According to the rules set by the elders, once you get off the mountain, you can no longer take any medicinal herbs.

The mood of the disciples at this moment is a bit like that of students who have just walked out of the examination room. The result is a foregone conclusion.

Acquainted disciples meet, ask each other about what the other has gained, and talk and laugh happily.

"Junior Brother Zhao, how many herbs did you pick?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Zhao Lin knew it was Zhang Xiaoshan without turning his head, so he stopped and waited for him to follow, and replied casually, "Not much."

"How much is not much?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked.

Zhao Lin thought for a while, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made an "eight" gesture.

"Only eight plants?"

Zhang Xiaoshan widened his eyes and shouted, "You're not good at this, it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"I know you have a diluo fruit. As long as you pick some low-grade herbs, it's not a big problem to enter the top ten. Now, Xuan!"

Zhao Lin didn't take it seriously, and asked, "What about you?"

Zhang Xiaoshan also imitated Zhao Lin, stretched out four fingers, and said in a low voice: "Four plants...top grade!"

Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Then I should congratulate you first."

Zhang Xiaoshan sighed, "In previous years, the top three must have been stable, and there is hope for the top spot. But not this year, I heard that Zhong Yewu picked four high-grade herbs yesterday, and now it is estimated that there are more."

"There are also Xiang Bao from the Huoyu Department, and Lin Qiutong from the Aoki Department, who should be above me."

Zhao Lin made no objection, and thought, "I'm afraid there is no hope for Xiang Bao. All the medicines he picked are with me."

The six elders stood under the welcoming pine, and the disciples returned to the team one by one, and more and more people gathered.

"Brother Sun, don't you think that is a disciple named Zhao from the Shui Jing Department?"

"It's him! Brother Xiang said he would help us vent our anger, but I don't know if it's done, go ask..."

In the team of Huoyu Department, the tall and thin disciples and the short and fat disciples whispered to each other.

The two came to Xiang Bao, and the short and fat disciple asked, "Senior Brother Xiang, have you found the disciple named Zhao?"

When Xiang Bao heard this, his face darkened.

All the herbs he picked on the first day belonged to Zhao Lin. On the second day, he asked his brother to take revenge, but not only failed, but also took his brother's herbs into it.

On the third day, I was really sleepy, I slept until the sun was up, and I didn't bother to look for herbs, so I simply went to grab others'.

It's a pity that on the last day, everyone was very cautious. Most of the disciples acted in groups, and few people were alone.

Xiang Bao spent a long time, only snatching two disciples from the Ministry of Law and Soil, so that he didn't let himself be empty-handed, but it was useless to compete for the top three.

He was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, and he replied coldly: "I didn't find it!"

The tall and thin disciple and the short and fat disciple looked at each other in astonishment, wondering how he could be so generous.

Zhao Lin smiled dumbly when he heard this, and turned his gaze to other teams.

The topic of discussion among the disciples was naturally the ranking of this autumn harvest, and they all speculated which department could win the first place, and who could get the five or six pills.

Most people are optimistic about Jinshi and Huoyu, after all, these two departments have ranked first in the past five years.

As for individuals, Zhong Yewu from the Gold and Stone Department, Xiang Bao from the Huoyu Department, Lin Qiutong from the Qingki Department, and the Du Brothers from the Law and Earth Department are the most favored.

However, there are also people who are optimistic about Zhang Xiaoshan from the Shui Jing Department. This guy has no words, and he tells people everywhere that he has picked four high-grade herbs, which is already known to everyone.

"Brother Shui Jing, we will start to take inventory in a while. I wonder how your disciples have gained?"

Elder Huoyu walked over slowly, and said with a fake smile.

Zhao Lin picked a top-quality medicinal herb, and there is little suspense about the personal first name picked this autumn.

But for the ranking of the institute, a yin eclipse lotus can't play a decisive role. In this regard, he is still confident. In order to overwhelm his old opponent, he first made the topic clear.

Elder Shui Jing smiled slightly when he heard the words, "The juniors have tried their best, and the results will just go with the flow. I don't need to rush to inquire about it as an elder."

At the end, I added another sentence: "Maybe there will be unexpected joy."

Among the disciples, Qiu Cai was the number one, and he was already very satisfied. As long as he didn't rank at the bottom in the academy department, he would be able to live in face.

"That's right, the result will be known later." Elder Huoyu touched a soft nail and walked away resentfully.

At the time of application, the six elders began to roll their names, but only four of them did not arrive. After waiting for a meal, all the disciples returned to the team.

Upon seeing this, Elder Jin Shi discussed with the other elders, and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start counting the harvest now."

Then he announced the comparison rules: one top-grade herb is worth seven top-grade herbs, one top-grade herb is worth seven middle-grade herbs, and so on.

Herbs that are not included in the ranking are not included in the ranking, and only when the number of herbs in the upper, middle and lower grades is equal, will they be used to determine the superiority.

In fact, this rule is not precise. Most of the herb gaps between different grades are more than seven times. Even herbs of the same grade have different years and appearances.

This is only for the convenience of comparison, otherwise there will be a fight for every penny, and I don't know how long the quarrel will last.

Elder Shui Jing's lips moved slightly, and he sent a voice transmission to Zhao Lin: "Zhao Lin, have you picked any high-grade herbs?"

In his mind, Zhao Lin had just started and it was his first time harvesting in autumn, so he definitely lacked experience, so it was a blessing to be lucky enough to pick a top-quality herb with his luck.

If any disciple picked six or seven high-grade herbs, he might surpass Zhao Lin and take the top spot.

Just now the elders were discussing how to compare the grades of medicinal herbs. He wanted to make a ratio of one to nine, but no one agreed, especially the strong objection of Elder Huoyu, so he had to give up.

"Yes, elder, please rest assured."

Zhao Lin gave Elder Shui Jing a positive look.

Elder Jin Shi announced the rules and said with a smile: "Which department comes first, gold, wood, water, fire, soil, or the outer courtyard?"

Elder Zhou of the outer court immediately said: "I have a large number of disciples in the outer court, and it will take a little effort to take stock, so why not start with us."

The elders had no objections, so Elder Zhou hired a deacon to be the secretary to record the autumn harvest of each department.

There is a natural big stone under the welcoming pine, which is two feet square, which is just used to place medicinal herbs.

Elder Zhou winked, and a member of the outer court came out first and walked up to Dashi.

Zhao Lin knew this disciple, and it was Li Ying who entered the Dance Elephant Academy to compete against him.

Li Ying opened the medicine storage box and placed more than ten herbal medicines on the boulder.

"One seven-star flower, one ground orchid, two green cattail grass...a total of one high-grade medicinal herb, three middle-grade medicinal herbs, and eight low-grade medicinal herbs."

The deacon glanced at the big stone, chanted aloud, and recorded it in the book at the same time.

Seeing the high-grade medicinal herbs, many disciples showed envious expressions.

One high-grade herb is worth seven medium-grade ones, and even 49 low-grade ones. It can be said that there are no top-grade herbs, and it cannot be ranked at all.

It's a pity that it's not easy to pick high-grade herbs, and most people don't have them.

Elder Zhou showed a smile on his face. He deliberately let the disciple with high-grade medicinal herbs appear first, just to get off to a good start.
