Li Zicheng tried his best to block Jiang Shuo, but he was still a step too late. He reached out his hand, wanting to take back the answer scroll that Jiang Shuo had given him. Just as his fingertips touched it, the old man in the rattan chair opened his eyes, the paper fan closed, and it hit the back of Li Zi Cheng's hand like a dragonfly touching water.

Li Zi Cheng retracted his hand in pain, and looked at Jiang Shuo grumbling: "Why are you in such a hurry?" If you are not sure, you can look at the answers of others. "

"These ten herbs are very common, I know their names." Jiang Shuo said with confidence.

The Hundred Flowers Sect, which was famous in the martial arts world, had its own reasons for using these ten herbs as the topic. Ten herbs were not considered rare or precious, but the medicinal properties were very different. It was enough to rule out testers who had only flipped through a few ancient books and had a bottle less than half full of herbs. As a result, most of the people in the yard were racking their brains with worried looks on their faces. Hearing Jiang Shuo's words, they all looked to the side, wondering who was so arrogant as to boast so shamelessly.

If Li Zi Cheng didn't have a certain understanding of Jiang Shuo's character, perhaps he would think that Jiang Shuo was just spouting nonsense.

He quietly tugged on Jiang Shuo's sleeve, lowering his voice. "Are you sure?"

"There's not much of a difference." Jiang Shuo did not dare to say too much. After all, he was not sure if the Scarlet Cloud Camp was called the same herb as the outside world.

"Then help me check it out."

Taking Li Zicheng's answer scroll and glancing at it, Jiang Shuo knew that he had done some homework, but before he started sharpening his spear, his foundation was not solid. "The third herb is white aconite, not the star of South Sky," he said. However, if you look carefully, you can see that the tuber of Aconite is rough and the end of the stem is scarred. As for Arisaema, his stem was smooth and there were some depressions at the top …

Jiang Shuo corrected him and then handed over the answer scrolls. The way he talked caused Li Zi Cheng to be extremely surprised, thinking to himself, "Why is he so good at treating illnesses?" At the end, he couldn't help but admit defeat and give Jiang Shuo a a big thumbs up.

Jiang Shuo touched his nose, embarrassed, and said humbly: "I read about them when I was young, it's no big deal."

In the Scarlet Cloud Village, other than a few ancient books that explained logic, the rest were all medical books. Being fond of fun was a child's nature. At first, Jiang Shuo didn't even look at the ancient medical records. Although the Scarlet Cloud Village was a beautiful place with beautiful scenery, it was tiresome to watch too many of them. Afterwards, Jiang Shuo was bored to death, flipping through medical books when he had nothing to do. From childhood to childhood, under the influence of long term experience, his brain stored a lot of medical knowledge.

The words that were originally humble were especially ear-piercing to the ears of the other examinees.

Isn't it a naked humiliation that your own pensive but unsolvable question is not worth mentioning in your mouth?

"When one is full of insults, humble oneself will benefit, and that is the way of the heavens. "Little brother, I see that you are so young yet you are boasting so unrealistically. Aren't you being so arrogant at night?" A young man walked in front of him. His front lapel was tied with a jasper carving of seven things, and he held a fan made of mountain and river in his hand. His temperament was outstanding, and it was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background.

"Isn't this the young master from Chen Zhixian's family?", "Does he also want to join Hundred Flowers Sect?" …

Once Master Chen appeared, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone was whispering to each other and discussing amongst themselves. Some people's eyes even flickered as they wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with them.

Master Chen handed over his answer scroll, slightly raising his chin, looking down at Jiang Shuo, and his condescending arrogance was revealed.

Jiang Shuo did not feel any fear, but stared straight at the opposite party. His own words were deliberately targeted, obviously caused by the other party's mental distortion.

"What? Am I wrong?" Young Master Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Of course not, my words are true, there is nothing exaggerated about them." Jiang Shuo's words were direct, scaring Li Zicheng so much that he tugged at his shirt twice, but Jiang Shuo ignored him.

"You mean that I'm not qualified to judge you?" Young Master Chen's shoulders shook. He smiled with great interest and said confidently, "You and I have already handed in our answer scrolls. How about we compare our results later to see if I have the qualifications?"

Li Zicheng wanted to stop him, but Jiang Shuo agreed. "No problem."

Even though he was not proficient in medicine, he was still able to recognize these ten herbs.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself." Master Chen snorted and walked to the corner of the street. There, a servant had brought him a chair and set up a awning.

The old man who was resting on the rattan chair opened his left eye and glanced at Jiang Shuo and Master Chen. He thought to himself, This is really interesting.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came out from the hall. He walked up to the elder and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, Old Supervisor." He then walked to the table and shouted, "The time for the three incense sticks to burn has arrived, the answer has ended."

The crowd immediately burst into clamor. Many people were too focused on studying the answers that they forgot about the passage of time. They ignored everything and pushed their way to the front with the unfilled answer scrolls. Achievements were always good, but because they were out of date, they were all rejected by the other party.

"The Hundred Blossom Sect's rules for recruiting disciples are quite strict." Jiang Shuo said softly.

Li Zi Cheng responded with a simple "En", after seeing the style, he had more confidence in the Hundred Blossom Sect.

"In order to ensure fairness, the middle-aged man moved the chair over and began to review the answer scrolls in public." Sun Daoming had seven correct answers, so he could stay. "Zhou Bai, the six paths are correct, can you leave …"

The middle-aged man's shout was not loud enough, but it was clear enough. Apart from these qualified people, most of the answer scrolls had been tossed to the side, indicating that they were eliminated. Many people remembered the location of their answer scrolls. They watched helplessly as their answer scrolls were discarded. They could not help but droop their heads in dejection.

Master Chen placed the answers on the top row, and soon, the middle-aged man called out his name.

"Chen Zhiqing …" When he called out the name, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, raising his head to find Chen Zhiqing, nodding to him in greeting. Chen Zhiqing was the son of the county, how could he not recognize him?

The middle-aged man's gaze shifted down, and when he saw Chen Zhiqing's answer, he could not help but reveal a happy expression, and praised: "As expected of Sir Chen, nine out of ten answers were correct. "The surface of the ground bone and the skin of Wujiaji is grayish brown or brownish yellow. There are irregular longitudinal cracks and they are extremely similar. It is reasonable that Master Chen did not recognize them immediately."

He deliberately tried to explain it to Chen Zhiqing, and it was obvious that he wanted to curry favor with him.

When Chen Zhiqing heard the result, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he actually made a mistake. But the most outstanding person in the past had only gotten seven points, and his result was impressive enough. As for Jiang Shuo, based on his age, how strong could he be, he probably wouldn't even pass the qualification line.

The results were announced one by one until Li Zi Cheng shouted his name.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man's eyebrows slightly rose, "All ten of them were right?"

"Where is Li Zi Cheng?" He knew what a perfect score meant. He had randomly chosen the questions from the ancient medical books, and there were all sorts of strange herbs. If he hadn't known the answers in advance, he wouldn't have been able to answer them all correctly.

Li Zi Cheng was pleasantly surprised and immediately bowed to the middle-aged man.

Seeing his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his decent appearance, the middle-aged man's heart tensed up, and he nodded to him.

Chen Zhiqing also recognized Li Zicheng, who was travelling with Jiang Shuo, and his heart couldn't help but sink. Hearing this, the old man on the rattan chair laughed, Li Zi Cheng's answer scroll was changed by Jiang Shuo, and Jiang Shuo's result was obvious.

Just as expected, Jiang Shuo's answer scroll followed, also with a perfect score.

The entire courtyard was in an uproar, as their gazes immediately gathered on Chen Zhiqing's body.

Jiang Shuo revealed a faint smile and turned his head to Chen Zhiqing.

Chen Zhiqing's hand that was holding the paper fan was stiff, and his face was completely red and white. The peculiar look in his eyes was like sharp swords stabbing into his body, making him especially embarrassed.

When Chen Zhiqing and Jiang Shuo made the bet, the middle-aged man was not present. He was shocked by their huge reactions, and just assumed that he had not thought too much about it. He called out Jiang Shuo to get to know him, and then continued to announce the results of the next person.

"Wait! How could both of them get a perfect score, and the two answer scrolls are right next to each other, there must be something fishy going on! " Chen Zhiqing suddenly shouted. Having lost all his face, he could not help but become angry from embarrassment.

Only after Chen Zhiqing's reminder did the middle-aged man feel that something was wrong.

He picked up the two answers and compared them. The answers were the same, not to mention the handwriting. On Li Zi Cheng's answer scroll, there were traces of changes: "Li Zi Cheng, did you write this answer scroll yourself?"

"This …" Li Zicheng thought to himself, "Oh no, during the process of answering the questions, I do have a friend to help me."

"Good! You actually dare to cheat! You …" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry when Jiang Shuo suddenly stood up and interrupted him, "Senior, this junior doesn't know the rules of your sect's disciple recruitment, so I decided to change it for you." Even if we do not change the answer given before, Brother Li still answered five herbs correctly.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked again. Indeed, more than half of the answers had remained unchanged.

His expression immediately eased up. After all, their results were outstanding. If they were to die in a single strike, even he would be blamed by his superiors.

Just as he was about to go easy on them, Chen Zhiqing opened his mouth once again, "These two cheated in public and disregarded the dignity of the Hundred Flowers Sect. Senior Zhao Zhi Qing, please punish them fairly."

Zhao Zhiqing looked at Chen Zhiqing in surprise. Speaking of this, how could he not know that Chen Zhiqing was purposely targeting Jiang Shuo?

His relaxed expression tensed up once more, and he angrily said: "The Hundred Flowers Sect never recruits people with bad morals and conduct. You two, let's go."

Although he didn't know much about the feud between the two of them, Zhao Zhi knew very well which to choose. On one hand was the son of the prefecture lord, and on the other was an unrivalled genius of the younger generation.
