The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 65 Competition Registration
After a while, Chen Jinshu stopped at the Qingsong Medicine Garden.

When she saw the manager of the medicine garden, she greeted him in a friendly tone.

"Hello, Senior Brother Steward!"

"Are we going to transplant the green pines? It's almost time. Otherwise, if we transplant them in two months, it will be difficult for the spiritual roots to recover."

"Thank you, Brother Steward!"

"Get busy!"

Chen Jinshu was not so conspicuous as to announce the fact that he had rented three acres of spiritual farmland. The senior brother in charge would naturally understand it after a few days.

After she entered the medicine garden, she immediately activated the token and was soon brought to the three-acre spiritual field in the northwest. This place was quite close to the green pine forest, and no one knew why the original owner had moved here.

When she arrived in this area, there were only a few senior brothers and sisters passing by, but when she reached her location, there was no one there.

I think most disciples will not come to the medicine garden at this time of the day. After all, the best time to water the spiritual field is three quarters past seven, or before the evening hour.

Generally, people rarely come to the medicine garden around noon, unless the spiritual medicine is about to mature, and they need to pay attention to the environment around the spiritual medicine at all times.

Soon she used the token to open the formation, and saw three acres of spiritual fields emitting a faint green color. The soil on it had just been renovated, and it must have been less than three days since the spiritual fields were harvested.

She even saw a few leaves scattered in the spiritual field.

"Brother Qian is so fast. We've only been picking for a short while, and he's already noticed it."

"Or maybe Senior Brother Qian made some kind of deal with this person, which caused the original owner to give up the spiritual field."

She was vaguely inclined towards the second answer.

"Forget it. As long as I have the spiritual field, it's fine. No matter how I got it, I can't change it."

Then she began to check the soil condition of the three acres of spiritual fields. The spiritual fields in Qingsong Medicine Garden were yellowish in texture and felt sandy to the touch.

"It's been fertilized with spiritual fertilizer once. No wonder the spiritual energy is so strong."

"It will take a few days before we can plant."

She casually took out a water bottle and immediately watered the three acres of spiritual fields.

……

Two months passed in a blink of an eye. Chen Jinshu, who was busy tending to the spiritual fields in the Hantan Medicine Garden, heard the summons from Gu Zhenren to preach again.

After she finished the work in her hands, she rushed towards the Medicine King Temple on the top of the mountain without stopping for a moment.

When he arrived, there were already quite a few disciples inside, all sitting upright, waiting for Master Gu to check the content of the assessment.

Chen Jinshu found an empty seat and sat down immediately, with many speculations in his mind about Master Gu's sermons.

This should be the last sermon.

After a moment, Master Gu looked around at his disciples and immediately ordered someone to close the door.

"Everyone is here today, and no one is late. There has been progress." I don't know what happy news Master Gu heard, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This made the disciples present confused and gave rise to some bad premonitions.

Chen Jinshu thought it might have something to do with the upcoming alchemy competition.

When she checked the information, she found that Master Gu would serve as a judge for the competition every year, specifically judging the disciples' ability to identify and handle spiritual medicines.

Although the final decision of the competition is based on the quality and grade of the elixir, the identification and processing of the spiritual medicine, the disposal of the elixir furnace, and the alchemy techniques during the process will also be evaluated.

In this way, when the results of the elixirs are similar, the winner will be determined by the quality of the process.

"This is my last sermon! The rest of the spiritual plant knowledge is up to you to develop on your own."

"The next step is to check the assessment as usual."

Immortal Gu soon stood up and inspected the transplanted spiritual plants that the disciples had brought out. Some were large, some small, and some taller. Chen Jinshu's fifty-year-old pine tree was undoubtedly the tallest, reaching a height of ten feet. However, compared to the height of the temple, it was still just a thin stick.

After two months of care, the pine tree she transplanted finally repaired its fundamental damage, and its branches and leaves became more lush than when she first saw it.

The size hasn't changed much though.

She thought she was confident that she could pass the test.

Master Gu checked half of it and only smiled in front of the disciple who claimed that he would ask him to be his disciple after he broke through to the late stage. In the end, he received an excellent evaluation.

Master Gu also glanced at the green pine trees in her direction, showing no joy or anger, but Chen Jinshu knew the answer in her heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should get an above-average result, after all, she has set an excellent example before.

After a while, Master Gu finally found her location.

"Fifty-year-old pines have well-developed root systems, so they can only be transplanted by removing some of them. This damages the roots, and they need to be nurtured."

"Your steps and processes were all done correctly. The damaged spiritual roots have been healed. You even helped Qingsong improve. Really good. A-level, right?"

"Thank you for your advice, Elder!" Chen Jinshu bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"A-middle" sounds nice, but it actually means above average, which is different from true excellence.

After Master Gu finished speaking, he immediately checked the next person.

After a moment, he finished checking and sat back on the mat at the front.

If Master Gu used his spiritual sense to scan, he would be able to roughly know the results of these disciples' transplantation and cultivation. However, Chen Jinshu had checked Master Gu's reputation.

Although he was a bit strict, he was very respectful to his disciples. It was said that every time he set up a test, he would go to the disciples to check.

"Alright! Overall the transplants are good, but there are still many things that could be improved, and I've corrected them one by one."

"Next, let's talk about cultivating spiritual plants, that is, breaking through the original grade and attributes of spiritual plants..."

Master Gu’s sermon this time was quite interesting. It talked about how a first-level spiritual plant could transform into a second-level one, and how a second-level one could be upgraded to a third-level one. The medicinal effects of each level of spiritual plants were very different.

After three hours, Master Gu finally finished his rambling story.

The spiritual plant note in Chen Jinshu's hand was an inch thicker.

“The harvest this time is pretty good.”

This time, in addition to explaining how to break through the grade, Master Gu also talked about many cases of attribute repulsion and mutual promotion in the process of cultivating spiritual plants, which was a feast for Chen Jinshu's eyes.

"You should all have heard about the blind box alchemy competition that will be held soon at Yaowang Peak! It's scheduled for January. I hope everyone will participate. Even if you can't make it into the top 20, you can still get a consolation prize."

"Those who want to sign up can register first with me!"

As soon as Master Gu said this, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of his disciples, and many of them showed anticipation on their faces.

Chen Jinshu also looked at him.

"May I ask, Elder, what are the restrictions of this competition?"

"As long as it's not cheating, there are no major restrictions. Of course, you're not allowed to disrupt others."

The disciples below asked about the competition one after another, and Master Gu answered them one by one.

Before leaving, Master Gu asked his disciples to line up to register for the competition, and two of his disciples were responsible for keeping records.

Chen Jinshu naturally wanted to participate, so under Master Gu's gratified gaze, he also reported his name.

"I didn't expect the competition to come so soon! I have to focus on alchemy this month."
