y humans, but for you who wants to become a demon refiner, it's a great fortune! Because it hides the nine arts of demon refining, which is equivalent to the complete inheritance of the demon refiner!...Although the Sect Master of Yaoshengzong spoke in a very light tone, it caused Jiang Yun's body to tremble slightly.

Because the other party was right!

Previously, while Ginger Cloud was in the Thousand Herb Formation, he seemed to be daydreaming for nine out of ten times. In reality, it was because he discovered that the spiritual energy inputted into the medicinal herbs held a hidden secret.

And the function of this mystery is surprisingly able to stimulate the medicinal properties of herbs!

Many herbs can actually be taken directly, but for those who truly master the art of medicine, they wouldn't simply do that. Instead, they often use other methods in conjunction with them.

For example, adding an herbal remedy, or taking it in a special way.

Even, including mixing various medicinal herbs together to concoct pills.

The reason is that it's due to the properties of the medicine.

The medicinal properties of a herb cannot be fully realized by simply taking it orally. These special methods are necessary to maximize the release and effectiveness of its therapeutic potential.

But previously, when Jiang Yun was in the Thousand Herb Array, holding the first medicinal herb, he unexpectedly discovered that the text formed by his input of spiritual energy would automatically form a special trajectory, stimulating each part of the herb from within.

As long as the words formed by spiritual energy are correct, the medicinal properties of the herbs will be activated to a certain extent.

If all the words are correct, then this trajectory will become complete, thus allowing the medicinal properties of the herbs to be fully activated to the greatest extent.

And that's also why the herbs simply disappear once you answer correctly.

Because the medicinal properties are lost, the herbs lose all their essence, just as a human being once loses the water in his body, he will become a corpse and even turn to ashes.

Gingeryun spent ninety percent of her time slowly exploring the method that triggered the medicinal effect, which was the trajectory of spiritual energy's flow. Finally, she figured it out.

In short, the whole process is somewhat similar to how a monk clears their meridians.

The correct trajectory that Qi forms is akin to the meridians of medicinal herbs.

However, what exists within the human body's meridians are impurities, while in medicinal herbs, there lies their medicinal properties.

Once the spiritual energy enters, it will gradually force out these medicinal properties.

Actually, speaking rationally, this wasn't really plagiarism on Jiang Yun's part.

Because the Yaoshén Sect never expected that anyone would be able to discover this method of stimulating medicinal properties during the first round of the competition.

And, he also learned all of that in such a short time.

More importantly, Jiang Yun is also an outer sect disciple, so that's why the Sect Master deliberately asked this.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun did not deny it. He rubbed his nose and lowered his voice in the same way: “Then I don’t know, Sect Leader, how you hope for this junior to explain”

The Sect Master smiled faintly. “Let’s talk after the grand competition is over!”

After finishing his speech, the sect leader ignored Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun glanced at the other party and then turned his gaze to the painting scroll on the platform.

Within the Land of Inheritance, the second round of competition is underway. This round tests the disciples' control over spiritual energy, and the method of competition is quite simple.

Just like the way Xiao Zheng used to test cultivators' ability to grasp sesame seeds,

But instead of sesame seeds, it was filled with a pile of medicinal herbs, and the sesame seed bottle was replaced by a fist-sized alchemy furnace.

Time, which was originally ten breaths, has now been changed to a stick of incense.

Each disciple also had an additional sheet of paper before them, listing the order in which they needed to collect the medicinal herbs.

Within the allotted time, sequentially retrieve the required medicinal herbs using spiritual energy and place them into the cauldron.

During the harvesting process, medicinal herbs must not be damaged in any way.

Although it looks like, such a competition seems simpler than picking sesame seeds, after all, the herbs are much bigger than sesame seeds.

However, these herbs were arranged in a very chaotic manner, and many roots, stems, and leaves were even intertwined with each other.

And this also requires disciples to once again test their ability to identify medicinal herbs.

Some herbs look almost identical, differing only by a single leaf or a few inches in length. If you're not careful, you could easily mistake one for another.

Therefore, the difficulty has actually increased.

As the competition began, some disciples were completely flustered, various herbs flying around haphazardly.

Even some herbs are extremely heavy. If one's control over spiritual energy is not proficient, they wouldn't even be able to lift them.

Even if you force it, too much spirit energy will damage the medicinal ingredients.

But if it were changed to ginger clouds, there would still be no difficulty at all.

The first to finish was Guan Yiming again, still taking half a incense's time.

Right after that, it's still Xiao Zheng!

Third place was a surprise, it was actually Li Changlin.

In this way, after the second round of competition ended, only five hundred disciples remained out of the original two thousand.

With Elder Han announcing the results, the third round of competition is about to begin.

The headmaster of the Yaoshendzong looked at Jiang Yun and said, "I'll give you a ride!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun felt a gentle breeze envelop his body, instantly transporting him back to the inheritance site.

But when they saw Jiang Yun, most of the disciples' faces involuntarily fell. They all felt a deep sense of pressure.

There's no way, Jiang Yun's performance earlier was just too amazing.

Of course, some people remained impassive, believing that in this round of competition, Jiang Yun would not be able to perform as astonishingly as before.

"Round three, we're testing for drug sensitivity!"

As Elder Han's voice fell, a furnace lid suddenly appeared on top of each disciple's alchemy furnace.

Below the cauldron, a raging fire roared, engulfing the entire furnace.

Almost instantly, all sorts of scents wafted out from within.

Evidently, some of the medicinal herbs they had previously placed inside have begun to melt under the scorching heat of the flames.

Ginger Cloud was no exception. A sealed pill furnace burning with flames appeared before him, and a faint scent emanated from within.

"Just now, I asked you to put the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace in order. Under this intense fire, they will naturally condense into a kind of elixir."

Each person waits quietly for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, without using their divine consciousness, they will say out the fire intensity of each type of elixir within them!

"Don't even think about trying to cheat, every cauldron has a divine sense formation on top. As soon as you use your divine sense, the cauldron will explode. Alright, now let's begin!"

Without using divine senses, to know the degree of heat applied to burn herbs, one can only rely on sight, smell, hearing and other senses to make a rough judgment.

> Especially now, everyone's dan furnace has a lid on it, sealed up tight. You can't even see it anymore, you can only smell it.

Judging by smell, this is also the most common method.

Next is listening. Some herbs, after being burned into a liquid, will emit a sound.

Different herbs produce different sounds.

In short, the difficulty is extremely high.

But for Jiang Yun, the difficulty is even greater!

Because others at least know the herbs in their own cauldrons, it's relatively easier to judge them. However, Ginger Cloud knows nothing about what's inside hers.

This caused a hint of worry to appear in Xiao Zheng's eyes. He just wanted to speak up and fight for Jiang Yun's fairness, but Jiang Yun gently shook his head, refusing him.

Ginger Cloud's method of refining pills was completely different from that of the disciples of the Yaoshensong.

In the rugged mountains, he always used stone or iron cauldrons to refine.

It should be known that stone pots and iron pots are vastly different from specialized medicinal caldrons, in every aspect.

And at that time, he was also just an ordinary person, without any divine consciousness.

Even so, through over a decade of refining his craft, he had never misjudged the heat of the pill fire.

So such a competition, for him, was really too familiar.

Gently closing her eyes, inhaling the various scents constantly emanating from the cauldron, Gingercloud was as if transported back to the times of Ginger Village.

Time flowed slowly, and each disciple looked at the pill furnace in front of them, their faces reflecting a variety of different expressions.

There is anxiety, calmness, and confusion.

But Ginger Cloud's expression remained calm.

But when a quarter of an hour passed and the flames in the furnace before him disappeared, his tranquil face was creased with furrows.
