The Path to Becoming Immortal

The medicine field is not big, and all the Thousand Spirit Grasses were picked carefully in just an hour.

"Go back and put this big account away. It will be used next time."

Yang Qizheng was even more happy and walked up to Ning Ping. Looking at this newly-earned disciple, he also felt a little satisfied.

"Well done, I will work hard and practice harder in the future."

After being praised by his master, Ning Ping became excited and nodded vigorously: "Well, I will definitely work hard."

While replying, from the corner of his eye, he could faintly see a hint of jealousy on the face of Hua Wen Yaoyuan behind the master, but it disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

Ning Ping was slightly shocked. He had not misread the other person's expression just now. It seemed that the master's praise had aroused the other person's jealousy, and he would be more cautious in the future.

When everyone left together, Hua Wenyao didn't let others interfere at all. He held the big tent that he had taken down again and walked briskly.

Shen Qingyao happened to be beside Ning Ping at this moment.

"Junior brother, congratulations. I didn't expect your method to be so good. It's so smart~" A soft and soft voice sounded in Ning Ping's ears.

But as soon as he finished speaking, before Ning Ping could respond, he quickened his pace and walked together with the other girls again.

A burst of warmth flowed through Ning Ping's heart, and he felt that this compliment was even more useful than the master's compliment.

Piao Piao returned to the dormitory, had lunch and was about to get ready for a good night's sleep when Hua Wenyao appeared again and brought Ning Ping into the now empty canteen.

"Ning Ping, you performed well this time. Master also praised you, but remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. You need to continue to work hard in the future." After Ning Ping hummed and nodded in response, he continued to talk.

"Today I will test how well you recite the "Herbal Illustrated Book". It has been 10 days. Let's see if you take my words to heart."

"Huang Jing~"

As soon as Ning Ping heard the thought, he spoke: "Potati is also known as: Wuji Zhi, Deer Bamboo... It grows in cool, moist, shaded soil; the soil is breathable, loose, fertile sandy loam, resistant to severe cold. It has the ability to replenish Qi. Nourishes yin, strengthens the spleen, moistens the lungs, and nourishes the kidneys..."

Hua Wenyao carefully compared them one by one and found that what Ning Ping said was correct word for word. He nodded slightly and continued reading.

"Angelica."

"Danggui is also known as moxa, ice table, medical grass, moxibustion grass..."

"Baicao Dew"

"..."

During the one-on-one answer, the afternoon passed without realizing it. Ning Ping's plan to sleep well all day was completely frustrated. He didn't stop until it was almost dinner time.

"Well, that's right. Although there are some mistakes, overall it's okay. However, it doesn't matter if the medicine is wrong now, but it is a life-threatening matter. In the future, it will need to be memorized. Okay, let's eat later. Take a good rest afterwards.”

Ning Ping let out a slight breath at this time. He had memorized a few wrong places just now to prevent his amazing memory ability from being known to the other party and causing concern. Judging from his expression just now, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and he probably didn't notice anything. He passed this level successfully today.

After giving a warning, Hua Wenyao was about to leave with his hands behind his back, but at this moment the door was blocked by someone.

"Second Senior Brother, I haven't seen you looking good in a few days." He said and lightly glanced at Ning Ping, who was still in the cafeteria.

There was no greeting in his tone. Just when Ning Ping was wondering who this person was, he learned the answer from Hua Wenyao.

"Junior brother, I'm back today. I miss you so much." Hua Wenyao also didn't have much enthusiasm in his words.

It turns out that this person is the third senior brother Xu Zhi who has disappeared for a while. No wonder he has never been seen. It turns out that he went out and only returned now.

"By the way, I would like to ask, senior brother, I heard that my subordinate Aaron was taught a lesson by you a few days ago. Why did he make you unhappy?"

"Look at what junior brother said, he was punished only after he made a mistake. How can it be decided based on my happiness." The two of them were talking insincerely. At this moment, some people slowly came to the cafeteria and saw the situation here. Then he blocked the door from a distance.

Suddenly, Xu Zhi's originally sinister face suddenly revealed a smile: "It's just dinner time now, let's not stand here and hinder everyone's eating. Let's go. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a drink together."

"That's what I meant, junior brother, let's go!" At this moment, Hua Wenyao's face also changed into a smile, and the two of them instantly became like good friends they hadn't seen for a long time. They walked hand in hand into the small room on the side. The room where they ate.

This scene fell into Ning Ping's eyes, and he shook his head secretly in his heart. They all had their own agendas, and no one was easy to get along with.

After the interlude, the cafeteria became lively when there were more people. Guozi slept comfortably all afternoon and now sat in front of Ning Ping.

"Ningping, how are you? Did you pass?" Guoduo asked worriedly while eating.

"It should be considered passed." After a hasty response, the two of them threw their arms away and started eating.

"I knew you could pass smoothly! By the way, we have been outside for the past few days, and you didn't know that something happened here." Guozi's face showed some happiness at this moment.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Didn't it suddenly rain the day before yesterday? Those guys who were assigned to dry the medicinal materials didn't have time to take back the medicinal materials, so they got wet. When Senior Brother Hua found out, everyone was severely beaten. I just saw But it’s miserable, my butt is stretched open, and I have to continue doing things every day.”

Ning Ping's heart sank when he heard this. The harmonious pastoral atmosphere he had seen here suddenly disappeared in his heart. He didn't know when such a thing would be his turn.

"Hey, it would be great if I could successfully awaken my spirit, so I wouldn't have to stay here and watch that birdman's eyes." Guozi lowered his voice as he spoke, fearing that others would hear him.

Ning Ping's heart moved. He had heard Guozi say before that after reaching the Qi Refining Stage and becoming a cultivator, he could go to refine medicine. Now that he had successfully awakened his spirit and became a cultivator, his intuition told him that he must not reveal it now, and he could only act according to circumstances.

"If the awakening of the spirit is successful, then tell the master directly?"

"The master will check once every six months, and the next time will be next month. I didn't expect you to just come here, which is a pity." Guozi thought that Ning Ping had just arrived, how could he be able to awaken his spirit in such a short time. The two of them had been very close during this period of time, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ning Ping.

Ning Ping was happy when he heard it, and one month later. Presumably, by then, if people knew that he had successfully awakened his spirit, it wouldn't be so surprising and abrupt.

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "Well, let everything take its course."

As expected, as if to cram for the exam next month, more people practiced in the dormitory, and even fewer people went out to peek at night.

Even Guozi borrowed the "Awakening Spirit Technique" from Ning Ping and reviewed it again in case he missed something. He wanted to try to see if a miracle could happen during this period.
