The newcomers had been informed beforehand that the third round of the Trial of Spiritual Herbs would take up to three months, so the fourth round would begin in three days. The two rounds would be held at the same time, so it was very likely that the newcomers would be exhausted. If they were hot-headed and chose too many seeds, then they would not be able to guarantee a daily supply of vital energy. It was very likely that the tragedy of having their points deducted would occur, just as the sissy had said.
Therefore, even the confident newcomers from the Soaring Sky Pavilion were extremely cautious. On average, they only chose around ten spiritual herb seeds, and the most of them did not exceed twenty. Even Kang Ming Ming, the popular candidate who was born an alchemist, only chose twenty seeds despite having such a unique advantage.
After the Soaring Sky Pavilion, the old men from the Mysterious Pavilion, who were even more experienced, naturally would not make any stupid choices. On average, they chose between ten and twenty seeds.
As for the newcomers from the Blue Cloud Pavilion, they were the weakest and the most lacking in confidence. On average, they only chose the minimum of ten spiritual herb seeds. If not for the rules, they would have chosen even less.
Although people like Xiao Ran might not lose to the newcomers from the other two pavilions in terms of strength, it should not be forgotten that cultivating spiritual herb seeds not only required a large amount of vital energy, but also a large amount of spiritual energy. If the cave abode did not have enough spiritual energy, it would be useless no matter how rich one's vital energy was. The spiritual herb seeds would still wither and die.
As for Xiao Ran's second cave abode at the foot of the mountain, although it was considered not bad among the newcomers from the Blue Cloud Pavilion, it could not be compared to the caves of the newcomers from the other two pavilions. Even the worst cave abode had a higher concentration of spiritual energy than his second cave abode at the foot of the mountain.
Under such circumstances, choosing only ten spiritual herb seeds was clearly a wise move. This was because with the poor conditions of the newcomers from the Blue Cloud Pavilion, it was very likely that they would not even be able to cultivate these ten spiritual herb seeds. If they chose too many, wouldn't they be digging their own graves?
Rather than foolishly daydreaming and fantasizing about how many points they could obtain in this round, it was better to think about how they could avoid having their points deducted. This was more realistic and wise.
While the other newcomers were lining up to draw seeds, Lin Yi was at the end of the line, silently observing the forty spiritual herb seeds provided by the Spirit Medicine Nursery. One of them made his eyes light up.
Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass! Among the forty spiritual herb seeds, there was actually a Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass!
Even though the sissy manager had said so earlier … He'd already said that there were some common ones and some uncommon ones among the forty seeds, but he didn't dare imagine that there would be a seed of the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass among them!
After all, in terms of rarity, the value and rarity of the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass was definitely much higher than other ordinary spiritual medicine seeds. To Lin Yi, it was like a pie that had fallen from heaven!
Lin Yi's heart heated up. He'd just reached foundation establishment early phase peak not too long ago, but he was planning ahead. He only needed a bit more time to stabilize his strength, and he'd be ready to break through to foundation establishment mid phase.
To Foundation established, the Foundation foundation foundation foundation foundation establishment pill. The Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass was the key to obtaining the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass.
Last time, he'd gone through a lot of trouble on the outskirts of the back mountain, risking the fatal danger of being hunted by the golden-eyed eagles, and finally managed to get one from the cliff. He knew that if he wanted to get another one, he'd have to rack his brain to think of a way.
Not to mention whether he could find another in the Back Mountain, even if there was one, he would not be able to enter with his current identity. After all, the Back Mountain was protected by layers of restrictions. Without the permission of the Back Mountain Hall, nobody could enter the Back Mountain as they pleased. Lin Yi, the newcomer of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, was no exception.
Who would have thought that the precious item that he might not be able to obtain even after racking his brains would actually deliver itself to him during the assessment mission!
However, the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass was indeed among the forty spiritual herb seeds. It would not be easy for Lin Yi to obtain it. His only right was to report the number of seeds and draw the corresponding number from the box.
In other words, unless Lin Yi reported a total of forty spiritual herb seeds, he would not be able to obtain it. Otherwise, he might miss the opportunity to obtain the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass seeds that could only be discovered by luck!
However, in a situation where all the other newcomers only reported twenty seeds, if he reported forty seeds, unless he was a publicly acknowledged idiot, he would definitely be suspected!
As for Lin Yi, although he had always been a maverick, from his various performances, especially after consecutively obtaining two god-level full marks, in the eyes of others, he was not an idiot at all.
Seeing that the newcomers in front of him were about to finish drawing their seeds and it would soon be his turn, Lin Yi could not help but frown as he felt a headache coming on.
In front of him was a heaven-sent opportunity to obtain the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass seeds. He definitely did not want to miss it. After all, if he missed it, it would be extremely difficult to obtain the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass in the future. Even if he racked his brains to sneak into the Back Mountain, he might not be able to successfully find the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass.
If it really did not work, he could only shock the world and choose all forty spiritual herb seeds!
Lin Yi secretly clenched his teeth. The Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass was the key to refining the Foundation Building Pill, and the Foundation Building Pill was directly related to whether or not his strength could increase rapidly. With this, he would be able to deal with all kinds of unpredictable dangers in the future. In comparison, even if he was suspected, he could only go all out and not care so much.
When the time came, he would just use his identity as a Pill Master to brush them off. Even if these people suspected him, they should not be able to link it to the Foundation Building Pill. The risk was not too big, and it was still better than missing the opportunity to obtain the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass seeds.
When everyone in front of him had finished drawing their seeds, it was Lin Yi's turn. He was already the last one.
Meng Jueguang, who was in charge of maintaining order among the newcomers in the Blue Cloud Pavilion, glanced at Lin Yi and said, "Junior Brother Lin Yi, tell me, how many spiritual herb seeds do you plan to submit?"
Although he really wanted to get rid of Lin Yi, this thorn that had repeatedly opposed him, he still had to maintain the demeanor of a Senior Brother in charge in such a public place.
Moreover, this assessment was basically presided over by the people of the Spirit Medicine Nursery. If Xu Lingchong did not appear, Meng Jueguang alone would not be able to talk to these people. Naturally, he would not be able to obstruct them. Even if he wanted to create trouble for Lin Yi, he would not have the opportunity to do so. He could only obediently follow the procedures.
