Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

No matter how fast Zuo Feng cleaned the herbs before, the onlookers were not too surprised. After all, when Zuo Feng introduced the four herbs before, many people had guessed that the boy might be a clerk in a pharmacy.

If this kind of work of cleaning herbs is repeated over the years, it is not surprising that Zuo Feng has reached such a skilled level. But these people's vision is naturally not as good as that of the city lord surnamed Lin. He felt something was wrong when Zuo Feng was cleaning the herbs, so he stipulated that "the competition will end after the third place is completed."

The scene in front of him seemed to be specially to confirm his guess. Zuo Feng took out the medicine furnace like a magic trick and lit it. The injection of spiritual energy made the temperature of the medicine furnace rise rapidly, and the area within a ten-foot range centered on the medicine furnace was shrouded in scorching air.

"What kind of technique is this?"

The two mayors were horrified at this time. Even though they had never seen this method before, anyone who was not a fool could see that the boy had not shown his true skills until this time.

There were only sounds of people sucking in cold air and some strange exclamations around, and everyone's eyes were all on Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng held several herbs in one hand and the knife he had distributed before in the other. From time to time, he had to output some spiritual energy to keep the temperature in the furnace constant. The handle of the knife was very long, but the blade was only about the size of an adult's finger joint.

The knife flew up and down, and only the light of the knife could be seen faintly. The part of the herbs in Zuo Feng's hand that needed to be removed had already fallen down "swish swish swish".

After the herbs were trimmed, they were placed on the rattan container. It was called a container, but it was actually just an oversized bucket lid. The purpose of placing the herbs on it was mainly to allow the herbs to dehydrate quickly, so that they could be stored conveniently. If the herbs were stored with moisture, they would rot and deteriorate in a short time.

The Duan siblings used the common method of putting the herbs on the rattan container to dry. It is autumn now, the midday sun is scorching, and with strong winds and dry weather, it won't take too long to dry the herbs. But if Zuo Feng follows the normal steps, let alone entering the top three, he will not be able to finish before the incense burns out.

Fortunately, Zuo Feng still has this method. When he worked with Zhuang Yu, he learned some of this method of quickly processing herbs. Not everyone can wait for you to mix the medicine slowly. Some people may be sent to the hospital for treatment when Mingzi is dying. In that case, you must process the herbs in the shortest time and mix the medicine that can cure the patient.

These were taught by Zhuang Yu at the beginning, and Zuo Feng used them completely today. When he observed the woman surnamed Duan before, he had already found that her methods and steps in processing herbs were exactly the same as what he learned from Zhuang Yu, so he had some confidence.

But seeing that time was running out, Zuo Feng could only use the last resort, which was also a method of quickly processing herbs for treating emergency patients.

Zuo Feng's actions immediately attracted the attention of the young man surnamed Cheng, who had been handling the herbs in his hands seriously. The Duan siblings finished processing the herbs one after another. This was nothing to him, because the two had such amazing talents in refining medicine. He could not compete with them when he was in the sect.

When the city lord Lin announced that the third place had finished, he was still secretly happy in his heart, because he guessed that this must be the city lord Lin targeting others. However, this change would only be more beneficial to himself, so the young man Cheng had a faint smile on his face at this time.

He was almost at the final stage now. The pruning of herbs was basically completed. The rest was just to dry these herbs and then store them in various containers in different categories.

At this time, exclamations came from the crowd around him. He couldn't help but look up while feeling puzzled, but saw that the three old men in front of him looked extremely ugly at this time, as if they had eaten a fly. This weird scene forced him to look back along the gaze of the three people, and then he saw Zuo Feng baking and pruning herbs quickly.

"How can this guy have such a trick! Who is he?"

The young man surnamed Cheng exclaimed in surprise, but a voice interrupted: "This is also the question of several of us old guys, Cheng Tianhao, this time's selection must not fail, you must not be defeated by such a kid with unknown origins here."

The young man surnamed Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He snorted coldly and said: "Master Lin, you can rest assured. No matter what tricks this kid has, he will definitely be eliminated this time."

When the voice fell, the young man surnamed Cheng turned around and started to get busy. The few remaining herbs in his hand were quickly trimmed. Then he also learned from Zuo Feng, took out his medicine furnace, and also ignited the medicine furnace and started to bake.

Zuo Feng and the young man surnamed Cheng were almost using the same method to process the herbs at this time. The difference was that the young man surnamed Cheng started half a quarter of an hour earlier than Zuo Feng. If he continued like this, Zuo Feng still couldn't finish it first.

Although he didn't look up to watch, Zuo Feng's peripheral vision caught the situation of the young man surnamed Cheng. Zuo Feng also knew that he would definitely lose if he continued like this, but this competition was just as important to him.

Zuo Feng couldn't come to participate in the medicine contest next time, and Anya couldn't last that long, so Zuo Feng had to stand out in this contest. Originally, Zuo Feng didn't want to show off too much here. After all, he was not from the Xuanwu Empire, and keeping a low profile would save a lot of trouble.

Now it seems that Zuo Feng's previous ideas have all come to nothing. Zuo Feng sighed softly and muttered in a low voice: "Ni Feng, it seems that you still need to help me. This time I must rely on your ability. Whether I can pass the test smoothly depends on this time."

Not long after Zuo Feng's voice fell, Zuo Feng's clothes suddenly swayed, as if a whirlwind was generated with him as the center, completely wrapping him and the stone platform in it.

This time no one made a sound of surprise, because everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Most people didn't react to what was going on, and saw that the stone platform where Zuo Feng was was rolling up with gusts of breeze.

The wind came very abruptly, as if it suddenly came out from the ground, and it seemed to come down from the sky. But everyone knew that was impossible, because there was only one possibility for this phenomenon, that is, the young man at the "No. 95" stone table in front of him used some means.

"What did I see? Who is this kid!"

"How could such a thing happen?"

The two mayors spoke one after another, but no one answered their questions, because other people had more questions in their hearts.

City Lord Lin's face was even paler, because this method of controlling single-attribute spiritual energy is generally only available to strong people who have reached the Qi Refining Stage. Even a strong person who has just entered the Qi Sensing Stage can hardly launch such a terrifying whirlwind martial art, but Zuo Feng seems to be very relaxed.

Zuo Feng stood in the center of the whirlwind, and the breeze from weak to strong, wrapped the stone platform where Zuo Feng was, and later people could not see Zuo Feng's appearance clearly from the outside.

The strange thing is that the herbs and utensils on the stone platform in front of Zuo Feng did not move at all, as if the wind would automatically avoid them, which made it more certain that the whirlwind was controlled by Zuo Feng.

In fact, Zuo Feng was indeed very relaxed, because he didn't need to release much energy at all, because the surrounding wind was generated by beast energy, and he only needed to use part of Ni Fengxing's skills to control these winds.

When the whirlwind rose, the heat in the medicine furnace was completely rolled up in the center by the wind, and the whirlwind at this time was equivalent to a larger medicine furnace, and the heat was fully utilized in the whirlwind. And this is what Zuo Feng wanted. The medicinal materials in his hand have begun to dehydrate rapidly, and Zuo Feng couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

He was originally forced to this point, and suddenly thought of this method, but he was only 60% to 70% sure whether it would succeed. However, after Ni Feng released the beast energy, Zuo Feng was sure that this method was feasible, because Zuo Feng used part of his telekinesis to cooperate, so that the wind was so obedient.

And Zuo Feng was confident that no one here could see through Zuo Feng's tricks, because the highest cultivation here was only in the middle stage of tendon tempering. If you want to see some tricks, you must have a cultivation level above the Qi Sensing Stage, and if you want to fully understand Zuo Feng's tricks, you must be at least a strong person in the Spirit Refining Stage to do it.

Although the young man surnamed Cheng also felt that the atmosphere had changed again, he did not dare to be distracted at all. At this time, he concentrated on processing the herbs, and if he accidentally controlled the flame of the medicine furnace unsteadily, it would be possible to destroy the medicine, and then his selection this time would be completely declared a failure.

But at this moment, Zuo Feng's plain voice without a trace of emotion sounded. Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"My herbs have been processed, and the last place is mine."

As the voice sounded, everyone looked at it intently, only to see the whirlwind slowly dissipate. The clean and neatly processed herbs were neatly placed in vessels of different attributes.

"Ah, hiss!"

At this moment, the young man surnamed Cheng was distracted by Zuo Feng's words, and the flame in the furnace became violent, and suddenly three herbs shrank due to overheating. The dried medicinal herbs lost all their properties, which completely announced that the young man surnamed Cheng had failed in the selection.

Everyone was shocked to see this scene. No one had thought that this inconspicuous young man would be among the three finalists.
