Chapter 148 Cheating— Ding Hao’s Homework
Ding Hao was at least the best in the five academies competition. In addition, Li Lan, the new head of the academy, indulged him. He was not held accountable by the teachers for not taking part in morning exercises once in a while. When he came to the dining room for breakfast, he happened to meet Zhang Fan and other disciples who came to eat after morning exercises as well.
“Today is the time to hand in homework assigned by our teacher Ximen Qianxue. How about your cultivation of the seed of the Blood Coagulation Grass?”
“Fuck, don’t mention it, my seed of the Blood Coagulation Grass has not sprouted up until now, maybe it already died. It seems that I don’t have the talent to become a pharmacist of spiritual grass and immortality pills...”
“I did cultivate the branch and leaf of the Blood Coagulation Grass. Unfortunately, they are only half a cun long, far below the required height. They are more dead than alive!”
“Haha, you can’t do it. I succeed. My Blood Coagulation Grass has blossomed. Ha ha, I think that Madam Ximen will be satisfied with me!”
“Damn it, I actually forgot this homework. I haven’t cultivated the seed, and I even don’t know where I have left the seed of the Blood Coagulation Grass, damn it, now how can I do? Ximen Qianxue looks gentle and lovely. She won’t beat me, will she?”
The dining room was very lively, and the disciples in the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts were talking and laughing. Some people were happy and others were sad.
Ding Hao’s face also changed.
Oh, no!
He also forgot to cultivate the Blood Coagulation Grass, a kind of some Level Nine spiritual grass.
Just imagine that the beautiful and elegant domineering lady teacher Ximen Qianxue seemed to have great expectations for him. He had forgotten the homework she had assigned. What should he do now?
“Hey hey, Senior Brother Ding, have you forgotten something?” Wang Xiaoqi gnawed at the braised Ominous Beast meat in his mouth and grinned at Ding Hao.
Martial artists kept practicing martial arts every day so that they need a lot of blood Qi and energy. The meat was indispensable for three meals a day. In this regard, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect did a very good job. A large number of low-level Ominous Beasts were hunted and became disciples’ meals on the table, providing a steady stream of vital essence and energy.
“Do you have anything to say when you are grinning at me so lewdly?” Ding Hao looked at Wang Xiaoqi.
“What do you think is this?” Wang Xiaoqi took out three small flowerpots from his robe. In the pots were luxuriantly green plants like three awnings of gladiolus. Long and thin leaves were hanging down regularly. A stem as thick as a finger in the middle was growing up weakly. With a bud, it was full of herbal fragrance.
It was very Level Nine spiritual grass of the Blood Coagulation Grass.
The Blood Coagulation Grass was a kind of low-level Spiritual Medicine. Its only effect was to coagulate blood.
When people got wounded, the branches, leaves, and petals of this herb were crushed and applied to the wound, which could stop bleeding in a short time. Even if the major artery was cut, the blood could be stopped by this herb. Because of its extremely practical value, it was an essential medicine for many low-ranking martial artists to bring with when they traveled or stayed at home or walked in the wilderness.
“Where did you get this?” Ding Hao was extremely shocked.
Wang Xiaoqi pointed to the young hunter Zhang Fan beside him.
The latter scratched his head habitually and smiled, “I cultivated it. I used to like flowers and plants. Many herbs in the hunter town were cultivated by children because adults did not have time to do these trivial things, it was not very difficult for me to cultivate the Blood Coagulation Grass, so I cultivated two pots for Senior Brother Zhong and Senior Brother Ding, one pot for each of you.”
Ding Hao burst out laughter.
...
“Three pots of the Blood Coagulation Grass have large branches and leaves, smooth stems, and the buds are getting ready to burst. The roots are just two cuns deep in the soil, with well-developed hair and distinct upper and lower parts. All the herbal properties are locked in the center without any loss. They can be evaluated as super-A.” Ximen Qianxue pointed to three flowerpots of the Blood Coagulation Blood Coagulation Grass, nodded with satisfaction and asked, “Who cultivated three pots of herbs?”
Wang Xiaoqi couldn’t wait to stand up.
He smiled obsequiously, “Madam, I, together with senior brothers Zhang Fan and Ding Hao, cultivated them. Hey hey, to be honest, our beautiful Madam, in order to cultivate these three pots of the Blood Coagulation Grass, three of us spent a lot of efforts in watering them and loosening the soil as possible as we had time every day, and our cultivation was completed according to your requirements. This is all because of our respect and love for you, Madam.”
Hearing such words, other disciples covered their mouths and laughed.
Even fools could see that Wang Xiaoqi, this guy tried to please Ximen Qianxue with a glib tongue.
For this beautiful female teacher, who was a few years older than them, disciples in the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts all had a little affection for her. Teacher-student love was not a taboo in this world. When teenagers reached the age of puberty, they naturally had some strange ideas.
Today Ximen Qianxue was wearing white teaching robes free from dust. Fully-developed and round breasts almost pulled the teaching robe apart. The slender waist and plump buttocks showed a fatal proportion of temptation. The deadly temptation was shown between her every move. Her beauty and elegance made people almost feel suffocated.
Hearing Wang Xiaoqi’s words, Ximen Qianxue did not have any expression on her face and said lightly, “Oh, really? Follow my request? I have never said that the Blood Coagulation Grass needs to be watered and the soil should be loosened every day. It is a cold-resistant and drought-resistant spiritual grass. It needs to be watered half a dozen times every three days. The soil does not need to be loosened. Instead, it only needs to change the light every day. It is really strange that you loosen the soil and water every day, and they are still alive. ”
The smile on Wang Xiaoqi’s face suddenly solidified.
Goddamnit, that was a slip of the tongue!
Other disciples laughed gloatingly.
Ximen Qianxue added, “Although three pots of the Blood Coagulation Grass are of high rank, whether from the style of flowerpots, the growth habits of herbs, the light intensity of branches and leaves, the size and the width of branches and leaves, or even the maintenance methods, it shows that they were cultivated by one person and by no means by three different people. So, Junior Brother Wang Xiaoqi, do you still insist that you, Ding Hao and Zhang Fan have cultivated them?”
Wang Xiaoqi’s face suddenly collapsed, and he said bitterly, “Great! Madam, you are too clever. It’s true that they all were cultivated by Junior Brother Zhang Fan alone.”
“Oh? Zhang Fan?” Ximen Qianxue’s eyes fell on the young hunter who had been inconspicuous all along, revealing a look of surprise.
Ximen Qianxue originally thought that Wang Xiaoqi bought three pots of the Blood Coagulation Grass from the herbs garden in the market. After all, judging from the planting technique, growth cycle and opening of branches and leaves, appearance of flowers and their fragrance of medicine, they have all reached the super-A level, and no rookie disciples could finish cultivation, but unexpectedly they were cultivated by a nominal disciple.
Ximen Qianxue looked at Zhang Fan, who was slightly cramped and nodded slightly.
She had some impression of him that it should be he who listened most attentively in every class.
