Chapter 468: A Good Death

If others were so far away, they could only see the general situation below the platform, but if it was Zuo Feng, he could now see the movement of every hair of the three old men.

With such a terrifying vision, Zuo Feng would naturally not miss any action of the three people in front. Of course, Zuo Feng would not carefully observe the actions of the three people. The three people also came from the same sect, and what they learned should not be different. At most, their personal understanding would be affected.

Without thinking carefully, the three people, Zuo Feng focused his attention on the woman surnamed Duan, or more accurately, on every movement of her hands.

The young man surnamed Cheng was boastful, and even if he knew something, it was probably just the tip of the iceberg, so Zuo Feng would not want to learn anything from him. And although the young man looked very powerful, he was younger than himself after all, and only the woman surnamed Duan looked much safer.

At this time, the woman surnamed Duan had put her hair behind her ears, and from Zuo Feng's angle, he could just see her delicate face. The woman surnamed Duan looks somewhat similar to Shen Die in temperament. They both look cold and frosty. The difference is that she has the aura of a great family, which is the aura of people who are used to bossing others around.

Zuo Feng only paid a little attention to the woman surnamed Duan, and then hurriedly collected his mind and focused on the actions of the woman surnamed Duan. The woman surnamed Duan gently picked up a herb, quickly spread it in her palm, and then dipped the brush at hand into clean water and gently brushed it on the herb.

Zuo Feng, who was originally paying attention to the observation, was stunned when he saw this scene.

'This is basically the same as what Master's wife Zhuang Yu told me about handling medicinal materials. Others may not be able to see it, but they already know that the woman surnamed Duan used the brush to brush along the texture of the branches and leaves. This will not harm the medicinal materials themselves, and can also clean up those unused wastes. ’

He muttered silently in his heart, but Zuo Feng did not dare to be careless, because there was still something in it that Zuo Feng did not know, and he had to see the whole process of her processing clearly.

The woman surnamed Duan processed the first herb very slowly, but from the second herb, her processing speed was constantly accelerating, as if she had begun to enter a certain state.

Zuo Feng saw that she processed one herb first, and this processing method was correct, because it would not allow the medicinal properties of other herbs to pass through the water. The woman surnamed Duan cleaned the herbs one by one, and then trimmed the excess parts on the herbs. She was also very careful in this process.

In the eyes of Zuo Feng, an expert, he could see at a glance that her trimming techniques and choices were very knowledgeable, which would not harm the medicinal properties of the herbs themselves, and at the same time, the excess parts could be completely removed. Zuo Feng was still observing this process carefully, but he was now a little impatient.

Because Zuo Feng had watched for so long, he had discovered an important problem, that is, he not only knew all these things, but also the skills of processing herbs that Zhuang Yu gave him were definitely much better than these people.

When the Duan woman neatly placed the first batch of processed herbs on a container made of vines, Zuo Feng couldn't bear to watch it anymore, because now almost half of the time had passed.

Picking up the small bucket on the stone table, Zuo Feng walked quickly towards the bottom of the high platform in front. His move immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. Before, Zuo Feng had not made any moves, just standing there watching others busy. Now, as soon as he made a move, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and discussion.

The three old men under the high platform have been paying attention to Zuo Feng. Although they "carefully prepared" for the second game, they still dare not be completely assured of Zuo Feng.

After all, they have lost ten gold coins now, and if Zuo Feng successfully enters the top three, then they will not only have to return the ten gold coins for registration, but also pay a bonus of gold coins. More importantly, the girl also placed a bet on Zuo Feng, and if they lose, they will have to cash out two gold cakes.

Because the bet here does not need to be ten times one, it is the same as the nature of the bet on the mainland, just pay the other party at a ratio of one to one.

But even so, that is equivalent to a thousand gold coins. Even if they don't eat or drink, they need to save up for several years to have that much money. If they really lose to that girl, the two mayors will probably want to die.

But the three of them saw that Zuo Feng did not move from beginning to end, but just silently observed the method of the woman surnamed Duan, and they all felt relieved at the same time.

Mayor Gao had breathed a sigh of relief before, praising the city lord surnamed Lin beside him for his resourcefulness and coming up with such a way to conduct the second round of selection. In this way, he would at most return the ten gold coins that Zuo Feng had registered for. More importantly, by eliminating Zuo Feng, the three of them in Tushan Town, and even Tushan City, can be regarded as saving their face.

But at this time, Zuo Feng suddenly rushed over to get water, and the three of them were stunned at the same time, and then the three of them laughed out loud. Especially the mayor surnamed Gao, who laughed even more unscrupulously, saying while laughing: "Do you think you can complete the second round of the competition by stealing and learning? You are still too young. Here, look at this incense stick."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the incense in front of him, where nearly half of the incense was already burning. Zuo Feng ran over quickly and glanced sideways at the burning incense. Without any expression on his face, he quickly took the water and returned.

Mayor Gao was stunned when he saw this. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Brother Lin, let's see if this kid has any other tricks. If he can really complete the second round of selection, I'm afraid I …”

City Lord Lin, who had white beard and hair, turned to look at the two old men beside him, and said with a smile: "This method of processing medicinal materials is the basis of what we 'Medicine Sect' people learned when they first started. It is said that this is also passed down from a long time ago. The methods of refining ancient medicine and mixing medicines. Not to mention people from small places, even some families who make medicine may not understand this skill.

How can such a young man learn it after just a few glances? Do you think this is possible? Besides, even if his understanding is really comparable to that of a god, there is not enough time left for him now, so even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to complete this round of selection. "

While he was speaking, Zuo Feng had already returned to his stone table, sorted and sorted the medicinal materials on the table, and then began to clean the medicinal materials.

The two mayors felt a little relieved after hearing City Lord Lin's words. Because of the close distance, the three contestants from the "Medicine Sect" clearly heard the conversation of that person. The young man surnamed Duan continued the work at hand as if he had turned a deaf ear, and he still had an excited smile on his face while handling the medicinal materials. It seems like doing these things is a very happy game.

The woman surnamed Duan frowned slightly, and turned slightly to glance at Zuo Feng, who was already busy driving over there, but there was a trace of regret in her eyes. But her expression disappeared in a flash, and without anyone noticing, she turned around and continued her work.

Only the young man surnamed Cheng, with a bad smile on his face, turned his head and looked at Zuo Feng from a distance, and said with a sneer: "The mayor, they gave you the steps, but you didn't go down, and now you are humiliating yourself. With our medicine Where the gatekeeper is, don’t mess with your three-legged cat’s alchemy skills.”

His voice was deliberately raised a lot, obviously to deliberately ridicule Zuo Feng. After hearing this, the people around him also responded with "boos" in response. But Zuo Feng never raised his head once from beginning to end, nor did he stop his work. He placed all the medicinal materials on the stone table and began the cleaning work.

Zuo Feng's cleaning speed was very fast, but he did not show any signs of panic. Moreover, if you look carefully, you will find that the medicinal materials are also cleaned according to the texture of their own branches and leaves.

Zuo Feng's behavior made everyone present gradually quiet down, but soon Mayor Gao saw something was wrong and whispered: "His clear medicinal herbs are very fast, isn't it?"

At this time, City Lord Lin had already seen it, but he was still calm and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry unfounded, I believe he can't make any trouble, and those of my fellow sects should have finished their work soon." work."

After clearing a batch of medicinal materials, Zuo Feng quickly rushed forward to get the second bucket of water. This move puzzled the two mayors, but City Lord Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just as Zuo Feng returned to his desk, a clear voice sounded, and the woman named Duan said, "It's done."

As his voice sounded, many participants looked over in shock, but Zuo Feng's hand was a little faster.

"Hey, I lost to you again in this aspect. Sister, this is not an intra-sect competition. Is there any need to go all out like this?"

The person who spoke was the young man named Duan. He glared at the woman next to him with some dissatisfaction, then lowered his head and started working again.

Although the boy with the surnamed name is not over yet, the medicinal materials are about to be processed, and some of them have been placed in specific containers.

At this time, the city lord surnamed Lin suddenly said: "This round of competition is the last competition, which means that only three people can pass the test in the end. So from now on, as long as three people complete it, it means that the others will lose qualifications."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two mayors turned to look at him, their eyes full of confusion.

Zuo Feng did not raise his head, and murmured to himself: "Hmph, let's see what other tricks you have, but since you are determined to choose and process the medicinal materials, then God has allowed me to pass smoothly. "
