Chapter 17 The Little Turtle

　　The next morning, Bai Xiaochun walked out of the cabin early, and at a glance saw that the Spirit Winter Bamboo in the Spirit Field had actually grown to more than half a person's height, and nodded with satisfaction before walking out of the courtyard and down the mountain road toward the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion. 　　In the distance, the early sun was rising, and the haze was so bright that the mist looked extremely spectacular in the haze as if there were golden carp swimming around, and Bai Xiaochun's stance was brisk, and he didn't stop along the way. Gradually, on the way, he saw quite a number of outer disciples, except that none of them were recognizable, and couldn't help but miss a few of his senior brothers from the Fire Stove Room. 　　"I don't know how big senior brother is doing now, and black three fat ......" Bai Xiaochun heart some sighs, walked for more than half an hour, when the sun rose completely, he saw from afar ten amazing stone monuments of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. 　　These ten stone monuments were the symbols of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, and each of them radiated a light greenish-colored light, were tens of feet tall, and were as imposing as rainbows, like ten giants standing there in majesty. 　　A line of writing could be clearly seen on the stone monument, representing the ranking, from one to a hundred. 　　Only that there were no names on it, but rather a pattern, each representing the future pill master imprints of the proud sons of the outer sect who had once left a hefty statement within the Ten Thousand Pill Pavilion. 　　Every pharmacist, has a seal that is uniquely their own, on the satisfactory elixir refined, it will be engraved, so as to be passed down through the ages, so the seal represents honor for the pharmacist, it's very important. 　　When Hou Yunfei had brought Bai Xiaochun here that day, he had also given a brief introduction, and now Bai Xiaochun had come alone, and as he drew closer, he saw the rankings on the ten stone tablets. 　　The most conspicuous was the first place on the stone tablet in front of him. 　　It was a treasure vase! 　　This treasure vase, Hou Yunfei had told Bai Xiaochun, represented ...... Zhou Xinqi! 　　This name was not unfamiliar to Bai Xiaochun; when he was still a handyman, he had once heard Zhang Dafat talking about this Zhou Xinqi under the moonlight while eating ginseng whiskers and lamenting. 　　This woman was originally an ordinary family, a few years ago by the clan a senior noticed that the qualifications are amazing, so introduced to the clan, after carefully checking the qualifications, immediately sensationalized the entire Spirit Stream Sect. 　　She is a rare grass and wood spirit vein, not only cultivation speed is several times faster than normal people, in the refining of medicine has a more amazing potential, and ultimately worshipped in the fragrant cloud mountain, become the only disciple of Li Qinghou sat down, is regarded as the following Li Qinghou, the future to support the clan's pharmacist! 　　Spirit Stream Sect rules, anyone even if the qualifications are high, will not directly become an inner disciple, so this woman and the other two south coast peaks of the same pride, are from the outer disciples to start, in order to hone their own, although so, but the supply of cultivation resources, naturally, in accordance with the inner door to issue. 　　And everyone understood that this Zhou Xinqi wouldn't take long to become an inner disciple in name only. 　　This woman was also extremely beautiful, causing countless male disciples to fall in love with her. 　　For all these reasons, she was well known among the disciples of Fragrant Cloud Mountain, and even the inner disciples never looked at her as an outsider, and even the older inner sects were wary of this woman. 　　When Bai Xiaochun thought about it, he was very curious about this Zhou Xinqi, and looking at the stone tablets, he simply made a big circle, looking at them one by one, and gradually became a bit staggered. 　　"This Zhou Xinqi is also too powerful... Of the ten stone tablets, she actually came in first in eight of them... The remaining two, which don't have her name on them, should be because she hasn't even bothered to compare them yet!" Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened as his gaze swept over the stone tablets. 　　At the moment, the disciples around the Ten Thousand Medicinal Pavilion gradually grew more numerous, and soon there was a sea of people. Bai Xiaochun withdrew his gaze and was looking for a place to exchange for the second chapter of the Grasses and Trees, but as he watched, he was a bit surprised to see that there were more and more people here and wondered why there were so many people today, and so he squeezed forward, when suddenly he heard bursts of clamor coming in from all around him as quickly as the sound of waves. 　　"Senior Sister Zhou is here!" 　　"Haha, the news that was rumored before was indeed true, Senior Sister Zhou will definitely come here one of these days, it's not in vain that I've waited for many days." 　　"Last time, in the five chapters of Grass and Trees and the three chapters of Spirit Beasts, Senior Sister Zhou was number one, this time she will surely go to challenge the fourth chapter of Spirit Beasts!" 　　As the voices around him raised their voices, the crowd crowded in, and Bai Xiaochun was caught in the middle of it. Luckily, his body wasn't fat anymore, so he squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and finally squeezed out, and when he looked up, he saw a long rainbow instantly flying in from the distance. 　　That long rainbow was a blue damask with a woman dressed in the outer sect's clothing, a woman with satin-like black hair that fluttered in the wind, thin phoenix eyebrows, a pair of eyes like stars and a cold moon, a strangely beautiful complexion, and a lithe, unassuming, and elegant figure. 　　At the moment, she flew straight to one of the ten stone monuments, and in the gusts of cheers from the outer disciples around her, the woman landed, her eyes not looking in all directions, but only at the ten side-by-side wooden houses under the monuments, and chose one, stepping inside. 　　It was only then that Bai Xiaochun saw that there were rows of wooden houses surrounding each of the ten stone monuments, and at the moment, aside from the one the woman had gone to, there were quite a few people coming in and out of the wooden houses under the other monuments. 　　"Finally seeing Senior Sister Zhou again, this time Senior Sister Zhou will definitely succeed in being the first of the nine steles!" 　　"Senior Sister Zhou's goal is to be the first in the ten monuments that no one has ever seen before, and only she can do that, with her going to assess the fourth and fifth chapters of the Spirit Beasts, she will surely be the first!" As the disciples around them perked up, Bai Xiaochun sought out a skinny-looking outer disciple next to him, first yelling a few cheers for Senior Sister Zhou together, and then taking the opportunity to ask a few questions, which the other party seemed to be in a good mood to answer in detail. 　　Bai Xiaochun determined that if he wanted to get the second chapter of Grass and Wood, he would need to go to the wooden hut under the stone monument to take the test, and succeed in order to get it, so he hurriedly squeezed toward the first stone monument, and only with great difficulty did he get close enough to realize that the wooden hut here was full, and waited a while before he saw someone come out with a downcast look on their face, so he didn't hesitate, and stepped over immediately. 　　As soon as he entered the wooden house, the noisy sound outside was like being separated and became very quiet, the wooden house was not big, there was a futon placed in the center, and in front of the futon there was a small one stone tablet. 　　Following the method he had been asked about, Bai Xiaochun sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the jade slip from the first chapter of Grasses and Trees, and touched it to the stone tablet, which instantly blended in, and the stone tablet shook slightly as a light spread out. 　　"That senior said that this is the time to draw a mark on the stone tablet that represents one's future pill master." Bai Xiaochun thought about it, smiled, and drew a turtle on it; he liked turtles, and this one was drawn crookedly and was a bit hard to see, but he thought it was great. 　　The tortoise mark disappeared in a flash, Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, fixed his breath and concentrated, his eyes revealed a brilliant aura, his right hand raised his palm and slowly pressed the monument, almost at the moment of contact with the monument, his head boomed, and his eyes flashed, and when it became clear, the surrounding area was no longer a wooden house, but rather, he was in an illusory space. 　　Before Bai Xiaochun could survey his surroundings, there was a sudden flash of light in front of him, and in front of him, countless medicinal herbs appeared in an instant, covering the sky. 　　These herbs weren't complete, but were all broken, chopped up into more than a dozen portions, all mixed together and densely spread out. 　　As one looked around, the number was so large that it was impossible to count them clearly at one time. 　　This is exactly let Xiang Yunshan countless outer disciples hairy, ten thousand medicine pavilion's horror test, how many years, countless people in this test in front of the ocean, is also therefore, but where in the stone monument appeared name, into the first hundred people, are countless people envy, is more heartily convinced. 　　Especially for the top ten and even the first, real name. 　　"Within one incense burner, put together the spirit plant, with the number of complete how many as the test, start." An ice-cold voice, as if no emotion existed, echoed in this illusory space. 　　"That simple?" Bai Xiaochun found it a bit unbelievable; to the extent that he understood the medicinal herbs within the jade slip, a quick glance at it at the moment showed him that it could be made up of the remnants of hundreds of herbs. 　　He had thought about it a lot before he arrived, and now that he saw that it was such a test, his heart immediately sighed in relief, but then felt uneasy immediately afterward. 　　"No, with such a simple test, the number of people who want to pass in the end must be very high." Bai Xiaochun was so nervous that he hurriedly seized the moment and raised his right hand to point more than ten times consecutively, and each herb fragment that he pointed away from him instantly coalesced together according to what he thought, forming two herbs in the blink of an eye. 　　His hands didn't pause, and he once again continuously pointed away, almost without pause, as countless pieces of debris flew out and coalesced with each other rapidly, forming a strain of medicinal herbs that gradually became more and more numerous, and soon numbered in the hundreds. 　　Bai Xiaochun couldn't take his eyes off the ground, his spirit was highly concentrated, forgetting everything around him, only these herb fragments were in front of him, his hands flew fast, he was in a hurry, worrying about failing the test, so at the moment he was furious, his eyes slowly became bloodshot, his hands even faster. 　　One hundred plants, two hundred plants, three hundred plants, five hundred plants ...... one thousand plants! 　　Bai Xiaochun's head was covered in sweat, and white smoke was even rising from the top of his head as his hands went even faster, and those scraps of grass and wood, he only had to take one look at them to instantly recognize which herb they were, because when he was reciting the jade sketch, those were the ones that he even wanted to grind to dust in order to study them. 　　It was only that he didn't have that condition, so he could only observe to the extreme, seeing the smallest of things. 　　If this scene had been seen by the disciples outside, all of them would have sucked in their breaths in disbelief, thinking that this test was already outrageous, but never realizing that Bai Xiaochun's study of the 10,000 herbs within the jade slip was truly outrageous. 　　Time passes, two thousand plants, three thousand plants ...... 　　Bai Xiaochun's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands could only barely follow the rotation of his thoughts; if it weren't for the support of his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, he would have been unable to keep up. 　　At this level, Bai Xiaochun wasn't sure if he would ultimately be able to pass, so he could only clench his teeth fiercely and keep going. 　　Four thousand plants, five thousand plants, six thousand plants, seven thousand plants ...... 　　I don't know how long it had been, but when there weren't many pieces of those herbs left, suddenly all of them flickered with light and disappeared in an instant, and once again, with a flash of clarity in front of his eyes, he had returned to the cabin, and a jade slip appeared on the stone monument, the very same one he had previously incorporated into the first chapter of the Herb and Tree. 　　"There's still some difference, there's just that much difference ......," he said with apprehension in his heart, picking up the jade slip and walking out of the cabin with his head hanging down, when he heard the cheers of countless people outside. 　　Bai Xiaochun looked up in surprise, and at a glance, he saw the wooden house where Zhou Xinqi was, a woman who also happened to be walking out, and the stone tablet behind her, representing the vase of her name, had appeared in first place.
