Chapter 295: Killing People and Destroying Their Hearts is the Most Joyful
The competition began. Xuanying had done his homework before coming, so he selected some herbs.
Long Moyang also made preparations in advance and was able to barely pick out a few medicinal herbs.
Chu Yue carefully selected the herbs. She couldn't make any more mistakes this time. After all, she still had a chance to become the last disciple.
After all, the peerless swordsmanship in the Sutra Library can only be passed on to closed disciples.
Under Xue Jinghuai's gaze, Chu Li came to the front of the herbs.
Chu Yue thought to herself: Fortunately, Chu Li doesn’t recognize these herbs.
Sure enough, Chu Li took out a few herbs from a pile of herbs.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "See, let her tell you, how could Chu Li possibly know these herbs?"
The four of them came to Xue Jinghuai and asked him to check whether what they had were herbs. Xue Jinghuai first looked at Long Moyang's, and he nodded, "I know some herbs, but not many."
Then he looked at Xuanying's herbs, "Yeah, not bad, you know all the common herbs."
Chu Yue looked at Xue Jinghuai expectantly, and Xue Jinghuai nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, what you got are basically medicinal herbs."
Chu Yue was stunned. Could there be something in there that wasn’t medicinal herb?
Chu Li knew nothing anyway, so she won anyway.
Xue Jinghuai looked at the herbs in Chu Li's hand and asked curiously: "Are you sure these..."
Chu Li nodded, "Your Excellency, these plants in my hand look like medicinal herbs, but they are actually weeds that can be seen on the roadside."
She pointed to the remaining ones on the table, "Those are the herbs."
Xue Jinghuai checked it and smiled, "Yes, not bad, all correct."
Chu Yue's face turned dark instantly. How is this possible!
She protested, "Your Excellency, what I hold in my hand are clearly all herbs. Your Excellency is being biased."
Xue Jinghuai looked at Chu Li, wanting to test his skills, "Your Highness, please help her see which ones are not medicinal herbs."
Chu Li walked over and pulled out three herbs from Chu Yue's hand, "This one is the poisonous herb Heartbreak Grass, and these two are wild weeds."
"What nonsense! I clearly took some medicinal herbs!" Chu Yue looked to Xue Jinghuai for help. "Your Excellency, my fifth brother has been in the palace for a long time and doesn't understand..."
Unexpectedly, Xue Jinghuai interrupted Chu Yue and said, "Your Highness is right about everything."
Chu Yue saw that Xue Jinghuai's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Chu Li, and her cheeks turned red with anger.
How is it possible? Did she spend more than three years in Tianwu Mountain in vain?
Chu Li thought calmly about the past. In her previous life, she grew up in Tianwu Mountain and she knew the plants and animals in the mountain like the back of her hand.
What's more, Xue Jinghuai lowered the difficulty of the exam. It seemed that he wanted to give Chu Yue an easy time, but Chu Li had no idea.
The people in the audience were becoming more and more confused. Why did the Crown Prince of Great Chu know everything?
"It is said that *** has been in Tianwu Mountain for more than three years, but he still can't tell the difference between poisonous weeds and medicinal herbs."
"Stop talking. I don't even know the weeds on the roadside."
"So what did you learn in the past three years?"
"Shh, stop talking, don't you see that ***'s face looks very ugly?"
"That's right. He's not as good at swordsmanship or identifying poisons as others. He can't even recognize herbs. It's a waste to have such a good master by my side."
Ye Hanting looked calm. Chi Yan turned his back to Princess Yaohua and began to quietly pour tea for his master.
Ye Hanting was in a good mood and casually gave Chi Yan a gold ingot as a reward. Chi Yan almost jumped up.
Ahhh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince crushes ***, and the master's mood also becomes happy.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well. Medical skills are His Highness' strong point. Xue Jinghuai can test him in other areas as well. It will torture him to death!
Chu Yue on the stage asked unwillingly, "Fifth brother, can you recognize these herbs?"
Chu Li didn't want to pay attention to her, but seeing that she was just looking for trouble, she deliberately said, "Eldest sister is not asking about the content of this exam."
Chu Yue sneered, "You can only convince others if you can name these herbs, otherwise you are just guessing."
Xue Jinghuai looked at Chu Li expectantly. This was quite interesting. How much did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?
The people arranged by Chu Yue started to make a noise, "That's right, Your Highness, do you know him? You can't just rely on luck in a competition."
Chu Li smiled faintly, "Then listen carefully. I not only know their names, but also their effects."
Killing people and destroying their hearts is the greatest joy. Chu Yue asked for this.
Chu Yue sneered. Chu Li was really crazy. He even made things more difficult for himself.
Chu Li picked up a handful of herbs. Mu Feng and Pei Ye became nervous, while Ye Hanting drank his tea calmly.
Xuanying had a smile on his lips, he was very clear about how powerful Chu Li's medical skills were, and he was asking for trouble.
Chu Li introduced them one by one: "This is Tongquancao, Scrophulariaceae. It is cool in nature, slightly sweet in taste, non-toxic, and the whole plant is medicinal. It has the effect of detoxification and can be used to treat carbuncles, boils, and burns; this is Zeqi, which is a diuretic and swelling-reducing, expectorant and knot-dispersing, insecticidal and itchy..."
Chu Li introduced them one by one. Her voice echoed throughout the entire platform and there was complete silence all around.
It seemed that the only thing in Princess Yaohua's sight was the elegant young man on the stage, and she could hear her heartbeat getting faster and faster.
What a powerful prince.
She has always admired the strong, and even in the Great Xia Kingdom, she has never seen such an omnipotent man.
Not only is he an expert in swordsmanship, he is also an expert in medicine and poisons!
She had heard of Chu Li's poems a long time ago when she was in Daxia.
The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles!
There is no other man in the world with such a broad mind, such talent and extraordinary ability.
Ma Yunqing knew from the look in Princess Yaohua's eyes that she must have some interest in the prince.
He took note of it silently and planned to inform His Majesty when he returned.
Chu Li had no idea that his performance on stage had won the heart of the princess of Daxia.
After she finished explaining the properties of all the herbs, the audience fell silent.
After a while, the onlookers praised Chu Li highly.
Chu Xing suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so awesome!"
Chu Yue stood there in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time.
Why does Chu Li know so much!
Why did she lose to Chu Li in everything!
Xue Jinghuai was extremely satisfied. Prince Chu Li was a genius. He only needed to take a quick look to know the effects of the herbs!
His eyes were excited, and he stepped forward quickly, "Would you like to be my disciple?"
Without waiting for Chu Li's reply, Ye Qingwu quickly stood up and spat at Xue Jinghuai.
"You old man have no moral principles. I haven't even started recruiting disciples yet, but you're already snatching people away. To tell you the truth, I have a crush on this kid!"
Xue Jinghuai frowned, "Third Junior Sister, this is obvious. He is quite knowledgeable about medicinal herbs. He is definitely a good candidate for studying medicine!"
Ye Qingwu protected Chu Li behind her and said, "The doctor's medical skills may be better than yours, and you still want to be his master. How shameless!"
"You, you, you are unreasonable!" Xue Jinghuai was also angry, "I will accept this disciple today!"
Situ Yichen covered his face. He had never seen these two people quarreling. This was the first time!
The people in the audience were also confused by the sudden scene of people snatching away disciples.
He was so popular that the Crown Prince of Great Chu was snatched away by two venerables before he even became a closed disciple!
Chu Yue only felt her scalp dizzy and her heart felt as if a huge rock was pressing on it.
She asked Chu Li to come to Tianwu Mountain to compete with her, with the intention of humiliating Chu Li in public.
But now who can give her an explanation as to what went wrong?
Why didn't Ye Qingwu and Xue Jinghuai say they would accept her as their apprentice for more than three years? Because Chu Li had a falling out with her!
