There is only one audience for the spirit-gathering competition between Gu Ye and Qianyu - Monk Honest.
If this matter was publicized, it would definitely attract a large number of disciples to watch. But Gu Ye did not do this. He liked to compete quietly in the spirit gathering technique.
"What we are going to refine this time is the Blood Coagulation Seal." After Gu Ye finished speaking, Qianyu was not surprised. He found that the higher the level of the spirit gathering master, the more attention he paid to basic exercises.
The Blood Coagulation Seal is an entry-level soul gathering. It is simple and quick to operate, with almost no difficulty. But this is the first step that every soul gathering master takes on the journey of gathering souls. This is the basis of gathering souls.
"There are a hundred blood-coagulating grasses here in total. You and I each have fifty parts. We only need to refine one blood-coagulating seal to count it as a success. It takes half an hour."
Refining a blood coagulation seal in half an hour?
Qianyu suspected that he had heard wrongly. In half an hour, he could read a hundred or even a thousand copies.
"You heard it right, if you can refine a blood coagulation seal in half an hour, it will be considered a success." Gu Ye repeated it, then took out the knife, and the honest monk stretched out his left and right hands in coordination.
Gu Ye used a knife to make a bloody cut on each of Honest Monk's left and right hands, and drops of blood slowly overflowed.
"The Blood Coagulation Seal is easy to refine, but the Blood Coagulation Seal with the best therapeutic effect is very difficult. Not only must you select the best quality Blood Coagulation Grass, but you must also control the right heat and grasp the best time to gather spirits. All three are indispensable.
.Ordinary blood coagulation marks, when applied to a wound, can heal the wound in half an hour. But an excellent blood coagulation mark can restore the wound instantly."
Qianyu had never thought about such a problem before. He had always thought that the Blood Coagulation Seal was just the Blood Coagulation Seal, with no distinction between high and low. After hearing what Gu Ye said, his spirit-gathering thoughts were shocked.
"What we are going to refine this time is a blood coagulation seal that can instantly heal the wounds on the honest monk's hands!"
"Can the medicinal properties of blood-coagulation grass really reach this level?" Qianyu asked doubtfully. The recovery effect of blood-coagulation grass is relatively slow. If you want to heal the wound instantly, you must use higher-grade herbs.
Gu Ye nodded confidently and said, "You'll know after you try it."
"Burn the incense!"
The honest monk lit a stick of incense and the competition began.
On the table in front of Gu Ye and Qianyu were placed fifty plants of blood-coagulating grass each. The appearance of these fifty blood-coagulating grasses were very similar, and you couldn't tell the difference without looking carefully.
"For the sake of fairness, I blindfolded my eyes." Gu Ye didn't want to bully Qianyu. After all, he was a sixth-grade spirit-gathering master, and his understanding of the spirit-gathering technique was superb. Without blindfolding, Qianyu wouldn't have won at all.
possible.
After blindfolding his eyes, Gu Ye picked up the blood-coagulating grass and smelled it one by one. He could judge the quality of each blood-coagulating grass based on the smell alone.
Guye's side has already started. Qianyu looked at the blood-clotting grass in a daze. He didn't know how to distinguish it. Just because he had never done the corresponding exercises, these blood-clotting grasses were almost the same, so he couldn't see much difference.
If you can’t see it, just smell it!
Qianyu also started to smell the plants one by one, just like Gu Ye.
After smelling three plants, Qianyu was dumbfounded.
The three clotting grasses all gave off the same smell, and he couldn't detect the difference.
Gu Ye eliminated ten plants. When he got the eleventh plant, he stopped and put the blood clotting grass alone aside.
Gu Ye was sifting.
In the first pass, most of the poor-quality coagulant grasses are eliminated and the ones with medium or excellent quality are selected. In the second pass, the ones with medium quality are eliminated and the ones with excellent quality are selected. This process is time-consuming, so half of the competition time is
hours.
"Donor, don't be in a daze." The honest monk reminded, "If you don't choose, the blood on my hands will almost dry up."
The blood opening is very small and the blood seeps out very slowly. The honest monk exaggerated.
"How can we tell the quality of coagulated blood grass?" Qianyu's brain turned rapidly, and suddenly, he thought of a method.
"Real gold is not afraid of fire! Is it the same with medicinal herbs?"
He decided to check it out.
"Fire up!"
With a flick of his right hand, a wisp of light green and silver flames appeared from his fingertips.
After controlling the temperature, he directly picked up a blood clotting grass and brought it into contact with the flame.
"laugh!"
The first blood clotting grass turned into ashes!
The second plant also turned to ashes.
Then, the third plant, the fourth plant... until the fifteenth plant, the blood clotting grass has not turned into ashes and can be left behind!
He didn't know if this method would work. The fire resistance of high-quality blood-coagulating grass should be higher than that of ordinary blood-coagulating grass. This is because gathering spirits mainly relies on fire, using fire to refine the herbs into liquid droplets and convert the herbs into liquid droplets.
The medicinal properties are stored in droplets. The more droplets, the stronger the medicinal properties.
Qianyu's screening was proceeding in an orderly manner. Gu Ye, blindfolded, had already completed the first screening and started the second.
The second time he didn’t smell it, he just tasted it!
Qianyu was shocked.
The coagulation grass tastes extremely bitter and fishy. It is very uncomfortable to eat, but Gu Ye tastes it with relish and enjoys it very much. He just takes a small sip of each plant to taste the taste.
A total of seven herbs were selected out of fifty that were of suitable quality. He tasted all seven herbs and selected the one he was most satisfied with.
At this time, Qianyu's first round of screening was finally completed, and he selected ten.
Gu Ye is planning to refine it, and Qianyu doesn't have time to do the second round of screening.
what to do?
Qianyu started to panic.
His heartbeat was very fast.
"do not care!"
Qianyu grabbed the ten selected herbs and refined them at the same time!
Due to his nervousness and unstable control of the fire, the two herbs immediately turned to ashes.
There are eight plants left!
On the other side, Gu Ye's blood clotting seal is about to take shape!
"Increase the firepower!"
In desperation, Qianyu slightly increased the firepower, directly burning five plants, leaving only three.
The Honest Monk's heart also became anxious.
As Qianyu increased the firepower, the refining speed increased a lot, and the three blood-coagulating grasses turned into droplets, which fell on the talisman paper and turned into blood-coagulating seals.
Gu Ye's blood-coagulation seal was also finished. He took off the gauze covering his eyes and looked at Qianyu, who was sweating profusely. Qianyu was holding three blood-coagulation seals in his trembling hands.
"You made three?" Gu Ye asked with a smile.
"Let's treat a dead horse as a living doctor." Qianyu smiled helplessly. No matter what the result was, he had tried his best.
"Next, it's time to reveal." After Gu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Qianyu and said, "Of these three, you can only choose one to compete."
"Whatever." Qianyu didn't care much about winning or losing, so he chose one at random.
"Come on." The honest monk stretched out his left and right hands in coordination, Gu Ye put his left hand, and Qianyu put his right hand.
On the left hand side, the moment the coagulated blood seal was applied, the wound healed.
On the right hand side, a coagulated blood seal was applied, and after two moments, the wound healed.
The result is obvious.
"Gutou's sword is still young! Donor, you are not bad, you are almost catching up with Gutou." The honest monk said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the ancients have amazing skills, the younger ones are willing to be inferior." Qianyu was sincerely convinced, and today he finally got a glimpse of the master's style.
"Little friend Qianyu, there is a soul gathering competition tomorrow, you must participate." Gu Ye expressed his appreciation to Qianyu.
"Thanks to Master Meng's kindness, I have already signed up."
"Haha, go back and rest quickly to prepare for tomorrow's competition." After Gu Ye finished refining, he was a little tired. Qianyu was also sweating profusely. He was too nervous.
After Qianyu left, the honest monk looked at the two remaining blood clotting marks on the table and joked with Gu Ye: "You don't need to use these two blood clotting marks in vain. You and I will each make a cut on our hands to try the effect?"
"Okay." Gu Ye took one of the blood coagulation seals with the attitude of giving it a try. He made a blood incision on his right hand and put the blood coagulation seal on it.
Wounds heal instantly!
Gu Ye was shocked and looked at the honest monk with his mouth open and said: "This..."
The honest monk was even more surprised. He quickly made a blood cut on his hand and put the blood coagulation seal refined by Qianyu on it.
The wound still heals instantly!
"this……"
The honest monk and Guye looked at each other in disbelief, looking at the blood clotting mark on their hands in disbelief, unable to regain their senses for a long time...
