Spiritual Worms and Entrance Exams
Qing Yue'er observed the herbs that were in the courtyard beside Han Qiong's residence. He became amazed when he saw the types that were planted there. Plants that are so difficult to find in the East Tongxuan continent turned out to be planted here with so many. This further reflected the resource gap between the Central Plains and Eastern Tongxuan.
He began weeding the plants, plucking the weeds that grew in the field of herbs. Wild grass if left unchecked will absorb the content of herbal plants. This will cause the herbal plant to lose its substance.
It's not a hard job at all. Even Qing Yue'er could get more familiar with the characteristics of those plants that she had never encountered. If he didn't know the name of the plant then he would have asked Mo Jingtian. That man really knows a lot of things in this world.
As the day grew late, the door of the house suddenly opened. Han Qiong came out of his residence to see how his herbaceous land was. He nodded in satisfaction when he saw the weeds had already become clean. However, he did not find the whereabouts of the three girls. Where are they?
Just as he was intending to search for their whereabouts, he suddenly heard noises coming from behind the group of plants that had a height of about 1 meter. Han Qiong immediately checked and found the heads of the three girls that were poking out from behind the plants. They did not realize that Han Qiong was approaching them.
"How is there anything like this?" jing Ling asked. "Is this poisonous?"
A while later Qing Yue'er replied, "It doesn't seem poisonous."
"What are you guys doing?" Han Qiong asked to surprise all of them.
Qing Yue'er looked up, she immediately stood up and smiled. "Old Han, I don't think you're going to see us."
Han Qiong stroked her chin. "Are you guys having fun now?"
"Look look, is this do you know what this is?" Qing Yue'er asked while showing the animal that resembled an earthworm. But the worm is different because it has a tail that lights up with white light.
"Well, did you find him? It is a spiritual worm. Isn't it so hard to catch him?" Han Qiong asked in surprise. Spiritual worms are quite rare animals. The animal was created from the accumulation of spiritual energy of herbal plants for several years. One should be able to count by what finger the worms are about to roam here.
Spiritual worms have the benefit of increasing spiritual energy in the body. In addition to having such benefits, spiritual worms turned out to be very difficult to catch. That's because the animal can move at crazy speeds. But these girls can catch him?
"We certainly find it difficult to catch him, even almost damaging your plants," Qing Yue'er said shyly.
Han Qiong directly checked his herb collection. What he saw made his heart slightly sour. Some plants have been stepped on and collapsed, there are even plants that are taken from the roots just like that.
"...."
It must have been them. Han Qiong could only sigh heavily. Even after ruining like this, the girl just said it was almost destructive? Didn't that ruin it? Aih, It seems like the decision to test them is something wrong.
Jing Ling could only chuckle to herself. He also felt that he had damaged the plant unnoticed. But that's not to blame, is it? They were too immersed in catching the spiritual worm.
"Alright alright, you guys can use that worm to increase the amount of spiritual qi," Han Qiong said in the end.
Qing Yue'er was relieved. Luckily the old man was not angry because of their actions. "Heheh, don't you want it?"
"For someone like me, spiritual worms already have no influence whatsoever. I don't think you need it either. So let your friend use the worm" said Han Qiong. Although spiritual worms were great for increasing spiritual qi, but it would have no effect on the sky realm pinnacle expert upwards.
Finally Qing Yue'er allowed Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia to make the best use of the spiritual worm. He also wanted to make the two girls quickly increase in strength, lest they have so much of a difference.
After that Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia were happy to accept the worm. The two of them instantly refined the spiritual worm together. Until a while they felt their dantian was full, but it was not enough to make a breakthrough. But it's not something unfortunate. Maybe if tonight they did the training, they would immediately make a breakthrough.
Qing Yue'er immediately replied, "We actually want to study in this place. Unfortunately registration is still waiting for another three months."
Han Qiong stroked his beard. "I can help you guys, but it's definitely not going to be easy."
He might be an influential teacher in this academy, but he would also need to have permission in order to be able to enter a new disciple at an unspecified time. If he was known to enter a disciple without permission, then not only was he affected by the matter, the disciple would also be subject to punishment.
"No problem, no matter how hard we will still do it," said Qing Yue'er who was replied with a nod by Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia.
"Then you come with me." Han Qiong invited them to go somewhere else. They followed him for a while until they arrived at a very large room. In the room were many books and scrolls laid out on wooden shelves. It is certain that it is a library.
Han Qiong took them to meet an old man who was busy with his notes. Luckily, it was getting so dark today that the library was not so crowded. This makes them more free to talk.
"Old Man, are you so busy right now?" han Qiong asked Peng Liang.
Without raising his head, Peng Liang replied, "What's a Han Master bothering me in a place like this?"
"Heheh, I want to put three new students into the academy" Han Qiong said.
Sontak Peng Liang immediately raised his head. He examined Qing Yue'er and the others carefully. After a while he looked at Han Qiong enthusiastically. "Old Han, where did you find superior seeds like them?"
Han Qiong yawned lazily. "Of course it's thanks to the teas you underestimate. That day I finally met them. So how?"
Peng Ling was a little unconvinced by Han Qiong's words, but she didn't say it. "Hmm, now there's a new rule from the principal."
"What's that?"
"Murids who enter through the back door must still take the exam like normal registration" said Peng Liang.
"No problem, this is fair. After all, these girls could definitely pass the entrance exam." Han Qiong said confidently.
"Then tonight also the entrance exam will be held. I'll ask someone to prepare for it."
Han Qiong simply nodded in agreement. Then he turned around to check on the state of Qing Yue'er and the others. "You have to take the test first, and it's not easy. You're not scared, are you?"
"Why should we be afraid?"
Han Qiong chuckled. "I think the exam for you guys will be harder than normal registration."
Usually, the participants will be tested by entering a room filled with middle-class dolls. They should be able to pick up certain items that are in the room. If successful then they would be accepted as new disciples, and if they failed they would be eliminated just like that.
But for this time he could not be sure if the test would be the same. Given Qing Yue'er's strength that surpassed that of the senior disciples, it was likely that the exam for her would be much more difficult than the others.
