Chapter 13
Fang Lin looked calm, even with a smile, slightly hugged Zhao Dengming and said, "report back to the elder, the disciple just knows this problem."
Zhao Dengming frowned slightly and said, "do you really know? If you talk nonsense, I will not spare you!"
Fang Lin laughed, completely indifferent to Zhao Dengming's scolding, and said, "what the elder said should be Jinjiao fruit."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dengming suddenly showed a surprised look, and many Dantong disciples below were suddenly enlightened.
"Jinjiaoguo? Ah! It's jinjiaoguo! Why didn't I think of it?"
"The whole body is light yellow, the hand feels warm, and has a pungent smell. It opens in the morning and fails in the evening. It is indeed a golden burnt fruit after ten years of maturity!"
"Fang Lin thought it was jinjiaoguo so soon. It was really awesome!"
···
Lu Xiaoqing's face was full of surprise. She thought for a long time, but she didn't think it was Jin jiaoguo. Fang Lin said it, which was really beyond her expectation.
SUN Hao clenched his teeth. He still wanted to wait to see Fang Lin make a fool of himself, but he was disappointed again.
Kang Lu's face was gloomy, and those Dantong disciples beside him also looked at each other, as quiet as silence.
"Elder martial brother Kang, was Fang Lin lucky?" A Dantong disciple said cautiously.
Kang Lu glanced at him and snorted without speaking.
"It's definitely Mongolian. Even our senior Dantong disciples can't think it's jinjiaoguo. How can he Fanglin think of it?"
"Yes, he hasn't even been to the herbal garden. How can he know the answer? It must be Meng."
"This boy is lucky, but he won't be so lucky next time."
···
Those followers of Kang Lu did not believe in evil, and they all believed that Fang Lin was lucky.
Only Kang Lu, whose face was very ugly, felt that Fang Lin was afraid that he was not deceived.
The surprised look on Zhao Dengming's face soon converged. After all, he was an elder. Even if he was still surprised in his heart, he would not show it.
"Very good. It deserves to be the best among the new disciples this time. Listen to my second question, it won't be as simple as the first one." Zhao Dengming nodded and said that Lin had some praise from the other party.
Fang Lin sneered in his heart, still smiling on the surface, and said, "elder, please."
Zhao Dengming paused and said, "the second problem is still related to the herbal garden. There is a medicinal material in the herbal garden, which is light red, odorless, hard and cold to touch. What is it?"
For a time, many Dantong disciples looked at Fang Lin and wanted to see if Fang Lin could answer it again, but most Dantong disciples didn't think Fang Lin could answer it. After all, this second question was more general than the one just now. Even standing in the herbal garden, it was difficult to find this kind of medicine for a time.
At this time, even the Dan Tong disciple who reacted slowly saw that Zhao Dengming was deliberately making trouble for Fang Lin, otherwise, he would not have asked such a difficult question at all.
"Elder martial brother Kang, the other side of Lin can't get out this time!" The man beside Kang Lu sneered.
Kang Lu's face also eased a lot, nodded, and looked back at Fang Lin.
"Fang Lin, this time you must lose your reputation as a genius!" Kang Lu said viciously in his heart.
Fang Lin stood among the many Dan Tong disciples, glanced slightly, and took a panoramic view of the people's expressions.
"Hum, want to see me make a fool of myself? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Fang Lin secretly said.
"Fang Lin, can't you answer?" Zhao Dengming said, with a trace of coldness and indifference in his voice.
Fang Lin smiled and said, "the disciple was thinking just now, and now he knows the answer. The medicine the elder said should be red Linzhi."
Zhao Dengming's face changed. Even though he wanted to hide his shock, the expression on his face was still displayed.
Kang Lu, SUN Hao and the Dan Tong disciples who were waiting to see Fang Lin make a fool of themselves were all extremely ugly, especially Kang Lu, who was almost spitting blood with anger.
After thinking, the other Dantong disciples found that the answer was red scale branch, which was completely consistent with the characteristics described by Zhao Dengming, and there was no mistake.
For a time, many Dan Tong disciples looked at Fang Lin and their eyes changed. They answered such a difficult question twice in a row, which could not be ignored at all.
The word genius involuntarily appeared in the hearts of many Dantong disciples.
Zhao Dengming was no less surprised than those Dantong disciples below. As an elder, he was more aware of the difficulty of the two questions just now, not to mention Dantong disciples. Even some formal disciples might not be able to answer them so quickly.
Even if Zhao Dengming didn't want to admit it, Zhao Dengming knew that this Fang Lin was indeed a genius. At least in terms of plant knowledge, I'm afraid no one among Dan Tong's disciples can compare with it.
However, Zhao Dengming, after all, was invited by Kang Lu to suppress Fang Lin. although he was surprised at Fang Lin's performance, his idea of suppressing Fang Lin did not change.
"Very good, Fang Lin, I have one last question. As long as I answer this question, I will reward you with an ancient book of Dantao. If I can't answer it, I won't punish you." Zhao Dengming said loudly.
Fang Lin sneered in his heart. He answered two questions correctly in a row, and the old man didn't stop.
Lu Xiaoqing's face showed anger, and he wanted to speak for Fang Lin, but he didn't dare to contradict the elder in public.
Fang Lin patted Lu Xiaoqing on the shoulder, reassured her, and said casually, "elder, please make a question."
Zhao Dengming, um, made a very vague eye contact with Kang Lu below.
"Then I will ask you, how many leaves does the Youting flower have? How long does it take to mature? What is the difference between it and the black moon flower?" Zhao Dengming said that he had thrown three questions in a row.
At this time, Fang Lin's intention was completely exposed. Even many Dan Tong disciples looked strange, and some dissatisfaction arose in their hearts.
"Elder Zhao must have received the benefits of Kang Lu and made Fang Lin so difficult."
"It's too much. As an elder, it's really disrespectful to be like this again and again."
"Even if Fang Lin is a genius, the question of youtinghua is quite annoying even for formal disciples. How can he answer it correctly?"
···
Youting flower is a very strange medicinal material, which only blooms in the dark and languishes for a hundred days.
And the flower of Youting is very similar to the flower of black moon, even its shape is almost the same. If you don't know the subtle differences between the two, you will treat them as the same medicinal material.
The method of identifying the two herbs is difficult for many formal disciples to master, not to mention the Dantong disciples. Even if you put the two in front of you, you can't see any difference.
Zhao Dengming's face has a trace of pride and anger. When he asked such a question, it was obvious that he was targeted. After this matter, he was expected to be criticized in danzong.
However, Zhao Dengming didn't care. Anyway, he received the benefits of Kang Lu, and this matter was also secretly inspired by the first, so Zhao Dengming didn't worry much. Even if he was criticized, he would forget it over time.
"Kang Lu, Kang Lu, this time I'm stinking my reputation for you." Zhao Dengming thought about whether to ask Kang Lu for benefits later, but he heard Fang Lin's voice.
"This question is not difficult. The Youting flower before maturity has 39 leaves, and the Youting flower when it is mature has 99 leaves, and the time required for maturity is between 17 and 20 years. As for the difference between the Youting flower and the black moon flower, the flower center of the Youting flower is a little cyan, the flower center of the black moon flower is light cyan, and the rhizome of the Youting flower is single, while the rhizome of the black moon flower has many branches." Fang Lin talked with confidence.
On the stone platform, Zhao Dengming looked shocked and looked at Fang Lin in disbelief, completely unable to hide his inner shock.
Under the stone platform, Kang Lu was numb, his whole person seemed petrified, and his brain was buzzing.
The whole Dan altar was silent, the needle fell, and everyone's eyes were gathered on Fang Lin.
Lu Xiaoqing's expression also changed. She felt that Fang Lin at the moment seemed so strange that it was completely unlike Fang Lin who was idle on weekdays.
Fang Lin looked at Zhao Dengming on the stone platform and asked, "I don't know the answer of the disciple. Is the elder satisfied?"
Zhao Dengming's face turned blue and white, staring at Fang Lin, unwilling to believe that Fang Lin really answered.
"How can he answer? It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhao Dengming roared in his heart, his face was livid, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing Zhao Dengming's expression like eating a dead mouse, all the disciples of Dan Tong immediately understood that Fang Lin's answer should be correct, otherwise Zhao Dengming wouldn't have such an expression.
At this moment, the person with the same expression as Zhao Dengming should be Kang Lu. Kang Lu was sitting there, his body rigid, and his eyes were full of ferocity.
Others are afraid to speak, for fear of annoying Kang Lu who is angry.
At this time, Fang Lin said again, "elder, is it the disciple who answered incorrectly?"
Zhao Dengming almost gushed out his old blood, and he wanted to jump down immediately and beat Fang Lin violently.
But even if he was angry and hated again, Zhao Dengming could only barely show a smile at the moment and said, "your answer is very good. I'm very happy that you are such a talent among the Dan children."
Fang Lin laughed and said, "when will the disciple get the ancient Dantao book that the elder just promised me?"
Everyone was speechless, and Zhao Dengming was even more an unknown fire rushing straight to his forehead. Knowing that Fang Lin was deliberately disgusting himself, he was helpless.
At that moment, Zhao Dengming waved his hand and an ancient book went towards Fang Lin.
Fang Lin took the ancient book, put it directly in his arms, and thanked Zhao Dengming.
Many people looked at Fang Lin with envy. He was just a Dantong disciple, but he could get an ancient book of Dantao. This opportunity was really great, which could make Fang Lin a big step ahead of many Dantong disciples.
Zhao Dengming didn't want to stay here for a moment. Today, he really lost face. He not only failed to suppress Fang Lin, but also contributed to Fang Lin's reputation as a genius.
"Elder, the disciple has a doubt. I hope the elder can solve the doubt for the disciple." Just when Zhao Dengming wanted to announce the end of the lecture, Fang Lin suddenly shouted.
Zhao Dengming frowned slightly and said, "do you really know? If you talk nonsense, I will not spare you!"
Fang Lin laughed, completely indifferent to Zhao Dengming's scolding, and said, "what the elder said should be Jinjiao fruit."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dengming suddenly showed a surprised look, and many Dantong disciples below were suddenly enlightened.
"Jinjiaoguo? Ah! It's jinjiaoguo! Why didn't I think of it?"
