Zuo Feng quickly retracted his gaze. He was in a bad mood just now. Although he didn't understand why he was like this, Zuo Feng immediately turned his attention to other places.
Just after these three people arrived, the three old men on the high platform all stood up at the same time. City Lord Lin and the old man in blue robe both walked to the edge of the high platform and looked down. The old man surnamed Lin nodded to the three newcomers.
He nodded in greeting and his expression was still respectful.
Zuo Feng could clearly hear the conversation between the three people just now. The old man surnamed Lin was their nephew, so when he saw the three people coming over, he showed excitement with a hint of respect.
Mayor Gao, who was wearing a green robe, had slowly walked down from the high platform. Needless to say, Zuo Feng already knew that the competition was about to begin.
At this time, the three people who had just arrived had moved from the back to the front. It turned out that the three stone tables at the front and middle were prepared for the three of them. At this time, Zuo Feng couldn't help but take a peek at the table.
The woman surnamed Duan is wearing a red shirt. This girl's cultivation has reached the fourth level of the bone refining stage, which is a little higher than that without makeup.
Zuo Feng estimated that this girl's level of medicine refining should be quite good, and her cultivation level was also quite outstanding. Not only would the lustful ghosts around her be excited by such a person, but I am afraid that any man would fall in love with her.
Just when Zuo Feng was looking at the woman in a daze, the old man in green robe had already stepped off the platform and said loudly: "The first competition of Tushan Town's medicine selection officially begins today. I hope all the contestants will do well."
I can get good results in this competition.”
After saying these words, he looked at the three women named Duan with bright smiles on his face, and his flattery was fully revealed. Then he looked around at all the contestants around him, and his eyes were also slightly focused on Zuo Feng.
He paused, and finally looked towards the few big men on the edge of the square.
Several big men immediately understood and walked out quickly. Each of these big men held a cloth bag in their hands. The cloth bag was not too big, or in other words, it was just a little bigger than the average person's wallet.
Everyone, including Zuo Feng, focused their attention on the more than ten strong men who were walking over. They saw these ten people walking towards various parts of the square. Every time they passed a stone platform, they would
Throw the small cloth bag in your hand on the stone table, and then go to another stone table.
Because Zuo Feng was in the corner, when Zuo Feng got the cloth bag, most people had already poured out all the medicinal materials in the bag. Zuo Feng had long noticed that the items in everyone's bags were exactly the same.
When Zuo Feng opened the cloth bag he got, he found that the contents were the same as everyone else's.
Two stones, two weed-like plants, and the roots were all picked together. In addition, there were also items such as paper and pens placed in the bag. I still don’t understand what happened, left
Feng saw someone already lying on the stone table in front of him and writing.
'They started writing without even listening to the request, which shows that many people know what is going on in this competition. As expected, as Xu Yan said, there are indeed too many such resistance selection medicines.
Question. No wonder it is difficult for those without background to stand out in such a competition. Is this completely a secret operation?'
While Zuo Feng was thinking secretly, the mayor surnamed Gao had already spoken again: "I believe those who have participated in Tushan Town's competition already know that the first competition is to write down the names, attributes and other information of the materials in front of you.
, the criterion for judging is of course that the more detailed you write, the higher you will be ranked.”
Listening to the words of the old man surnamed Gao, Zuo Feng looked around again and cursed secretly in his heart, "That's just farting. I just saw some people pouring out the items without even taking a second look.
I can already write out the names of items, etc., do you think I am an idiot!'
But Zuo Feng could only keep these words in his heart. He didn't want to make the already tense relationship even more tense. He returned his attention to the items on the stone platform. The two plants looked very inconspicuous, or
It's like a weed that can be seen everywhere.
But Zuo Feng could tell at a glance that the two plants were not ordinary weeds. With his knowledge of medicinal materials, he could tell at a glance what these two plants were.
Rain grass is a medicinal herb produced in several specific areas of the Xuanwu Empire. It is named after its leaves store rainwater when it rains, and then unfold the leaves to throw out the rainwater after the weather clears. This grass is named after it.
The value is not too high, and the scope of its production is not extensive, so not many people know about it.
Another plant is called mud grass. Like the previous herb, it is produced in very few places. In addition, its medicinal value is not great, so not many people know about it. Because the place where mud grass grows, it is like mud.
It is named after the road, and it is also named after it.
After Zuo Feng saw the origin of these two medicinal herbs, he immediately showed a sneer. It could be seen that these people were deliberately targeting him. Because these two medicinal herbs were produced in some remote places in Linshan County, these people from Tushan Town
It is not surprising to know these two herbs, and it is equally surprising that Zuo Feng is not aware of them.
Zuo Feng had already seen these two kinds of herbs, and then moved his eyes to the two stones next to him. Zuo Feng's eyes immediately showed a trace of solemnity. These two stones should be the two types used in weapon refining.
Ore, but Zuo Feng always feels that these two pieces are not that simple.
Because the two previous ones looked like ordinary weeds, but they were actually herbs with certain medicinal value. The two stones in front of him looked like very ordinary ores, but Zuo Feng always felt that he had missed something important.
link.
Zuo Feng already had doubts in his mind. Naturally, Zuo Feng would not write anything on the paper easily, but kept looking at the two stones in front of him.
Suddenly, Zuo Feng seemed to think of something, and then he smiled mockingly. At the same time that his smile appeared, he had already lifted two seemingly different stones, brought them to his nose and smelled them gently, and then stretched out his hand again.
He took out his tongue and licked the two stones slightly.
After doing this, the smile on Zuo Feng's face became even brighter. It was a knowing expression. This time, Zuo Feng no longer hesitated and directly picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper in front of him.
The introduction of two medicinal herbs almost fills the whole page.
Turning the paper over, Zuo Feng continued to put down the introduction of the two stones. When Zuo Feng straightened up, most of the people around him had already handed the paper into the hands of the old man named Gao in front of him. Zuo Feng hurriedly
He marked the words "No. 95" on the paper in his hand, then quickly went to the front and handed it to the old man in green robe.
The mayor surnamed Gao couldn't help but have a smirk on his face when he saw Zuo Feng coming over. But when he took the paper in Zuo Feng's hand, his eyes suddenly widened. Carefully
He looked through the paper in his hand, and then looked at Zuo Feng up and down with disbelieving eyes for a long time.
Zuo Feng's expression did not change at all. After passing the piece of paper, he turned around and returned to his stone table. After Zuo Feng, people continued to call up the answers that he had written. The old man surnamed Gao soon had the answers in his hands.
There was a thick pile of paper.
The two old men on the high platform saw that the competition was approaching, so they slowly walked down from the high platform and walked towards the old man surnamed Gao. As the two got closer, they saw the old man surnamed Gao.
His face had become extremely ugly, and the two of them walked forward quickly without knowing why.
The old man surnamed Gao was seen holding a piece of paper in his hand. His expression was very ugly and his eyes were a little dull. Those papers that came to him were just mechanically accepted without any change in his expression.
He didn't react until the two old men walked in, and handed over the paper in his hand with an ugly look on his face. Both of them looked at the paper in their hands, and their expressions slowly turned into shock.
But when I read the entire content, I also skimmed the four words "Number 95" at the very corner of the paper.
At this time, the expressions of the three people became extremely ugly, and when they looked at each other, they could see each other's inner struggles.
What they care about is the introduction written by "No. 95" Zuo Feng, and the expression of Zuo Feng who wrote these contents does not show any pride or pride. The displeasure of the three people in front of them is completely written in
On his face, this also gave Zuo Feng a bad feeling in his heart.
After the three old men exchanged glances with each other, they began to read the answers submitted by others. As time went by and around noon, the three of them also read all ninety-five answers.
After exchanging opinions, the old man surnamed Gao took a few steps forward with a gloomy face and said loudly: "The first primary election has come to an end, so I will announce the list of losers next.
, I hope those who have been eliminated will not be discouraged and can still participate in the competition again in three years to choose medicine."
As soon as the old man surnamed Gao finished speaking, he heard whispers from the crowd. Zuo Feng's ears moved slightly and he picked up the whispers.
"Why are the losers announced this year? This is a little different from previous years."
"Yes, this will be a big blow to those who fail and are eliminated. The mayor and others would never do this before. Why is it happening this year?"
"Who knows, I'm afraid..."
The last person who spoke did not finish his words, but Zuo Feng had already noticed that the speaker's eyes were drifting towards him. Seeing this, Zuo Feng's heart sank. The comments of these people had been confirmed from the side. I am afraid that the three old men
He is already playing tricks, but there is nothing he can do now.
At this time, the old man surnamed Gao coughed dryly, and all the talking voices immediately disappeared. Then he said: "First, No. 52, No. 59, No. 71, No. 74...
…”
As the old man surnamed Gao counted a series of numbers at the beginning of the year, each of the contestants lowered their heads and left consciously, but Zuo Feng became a little anxious.
