Damn it! Straight hook and salty bait, you think you can catch me?

What a load of rubbish, "Primordial Golden Body Skill"! It's more like a death-defying corpse-refining skill.

The disciples can refine themselves into rough forms of bronze-armored corpses. Only one ritual transformation is needed to obtain a bronze-armored corpse.

The heart of the Master of Sanyin Temple is even blacker than that of "Master Huang".

Chen Xunzhao's wishful thinking was thwarted even from a great distance, and it all came crashing down on Bai Cang's face!

How could he possibly fall for it?

For a time, Chen Anping was the center of attention, and everyone on the field was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Even those with connections, like Jiao Fei, couldn't help but look at Chen Anping with envy.

Only Bai Cang remained unmoved, and then simply closed his eyes, preferring to ignore it.

Seeing that Bai Cang was determined not to take the bait, Chen Xunzhao dared not continue his antics and could only let the assessment continue.

The subsequent assessment was rather lackluster.

Except for a few who tried to take advantage of the chaos and were carried out with their limbs broken, most of them were at the "entering the inner courtyard" level and entered the inner courtyard steadily.

However, no one was as amazing as Chen Anping, so the entire assessment process was uneventful.

Jiao Fei, however, kept glancing at Bai Cang, as if he were speaking out for him.

"The third item is the order to seek talented individuals!"

Chen Xunzhao announced loudly again: "Any master of calligraphy and painting, renowned physician, or who has a special secret formula to offer, can be granted a recruitment order, with treatment equivalent to that of elite disciples of the inner academy."

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

A master of calligraphy and painting, a renowned doctor—are these standards even attainable by humans?

Even if such a person truly existed, he would never appear among the outer disciples of the Sanyin Temple.

As for the special secret recipe, that's just a bunch of eunuchs going to a brothel—utter nonsense.

We were all poor and struggling people; otherwise, why would we have become disciples of the Sanyin Temple?

Only Bai Cang's heart stirred. "No wonder Master Sun specifically reminded me to study the Qingnang Medicine Classic. It turns out there is a shortcut to heaven waiting for me here."

We who follow unorthodox paths take shortcuts. If we don't take shortcuts, are we still considered unorthodox or heretical?

However, it is clear that, apart from Bai Cang himself, no one believes that anyone can meet the standards of this third assessment.

This includes Chen Xunzhao!

After saying this, he gave a cold laugh and looked at Bai Cang with a sinister gaze.

However, before he could even open his mouth to make a move, Bai Cang casually stepped forward from the crowd.

"Wait, what is he trying to do?"

"Does he think he's a master of calligraphy and painting?"

"Maybe he's a renowned and highly skilled doctor?"

"Hahaha, couldn't you be here to offer a secret recipe?"

"What secret recipe are you offering? Thirty-six ways to sell your genitals?"

"You know what, they might actually have this secret recipe, otherwise how could they..."

A cacophony of sounds crashed against Bai Cang like a tidal wave.

Although everyone was whispering, when they came together, it became an overwhelming wave of noise.

Even Chen Xunzhao couldn't help but chuckle, "This little beast, has he lost his mind?"

"Judging from his calm demeanor, I thought he had some trump card up his sleeve, but it turns out this is all?"

Amidst the chorus of doubts, Bai Cang walked nonchalantly to the foot of the platform, bowed deeply to the crowd, and said, "Disciple Bai Cang begs for a decree to seek out talented individuals!"

Seeing this scene.

The bigwigs on the stage all showed expressions of great interest.

Then they all looked at Sun Hongbo, the person in charge of the pharmacy, as if trying to see something out of his face.

Chef Huang Tianba jokingly remarked, "Old Master Sun, you've truly mastered the art of producing outstanding students."

The high-ranking members of the Sanyin Temple present were all people with extensive connections and numerous informants, so the relationship between Bai Cang and Sun Hongbo could not be kept from them.

Even so, no one believed that Bai Cang had truly reached the level of a renowned and skilled doctor.

It's highly likely that Sun Hongbo secretly gave him some secret formula that he's now offering up.

This practice isn't exactly against the rules, but it's certainly somewhat criticized.

Both of us are using connections, but our juniors only get the status of ordinary inner court disciples. Why do you dare to aim for the elite disciple position?

Do they really think they can do whatever they want just because the abbot favors them?

This is also the real reason why Huang Tianba, the head chef, joked and teased Sun Hongbo.

What seemed like a joke actually concealed a very deep thought, and even put Sun Hongbo in opposition to the bigwigs present.

Unfortunately, Sun Hongbo is such an old fox.

Its tail has turned white from exhaustion, and its skin is thicker than a city wall.

Faced with the probing gazes of the crowd and the teasing of Chef Huang Tianba, he...

Sun Hongbo remained completely unmoved, not even lifting an eyelid.

He acted as if he didn't know Bai Cang at all, showing indifference to everything.

"Old fox!"

"Since you're so shameless, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Since he doesn't care, if we really eliminate this kid, he won't have anything to say."

Xu Jia, the supervisor, Xu Gong, the chef, and Huang Tianba exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding without a word.

He then gave Jiao Ci, the head of the dormitory, a wink, and Jiao Ci immediately got up and came to the front of the stage.

"Bai Cang, is it? What secret formula do you have to offer?"

Jiao Ci had a kind and gentle expression, and her tone was also gentle.

"This disciple has no secret techniques to offer!" Bai Cang shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Ci's face darkened. "If you have no secret techniques to offer, why are you getting involved?"

Bai Cang said solemnly, "This disciple would like to try to become a renowned physician!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Chen Xunzhao looked on with surprise and looked at Bai Cang as if he were looking at a dead man.

Even the bigwigs on the high platform couldn't help but sit up straight.

The way he looked at Sun Hongbo was filled with an incomprehensible and strange expression.

You're telling me a sixteen-year-old boy is a renowned national-level doctor?

This is such an insult to their intelligence!

Let alone a few months ago, this kid was a vagrant. Even if he had started learning from birth, he could never have become a renowned doctor!

Jiao Ci thought the same thing and immediately said coldly, "Are you here to make fun of us?"

Bai Cang said, "This disciple knows how to refine medicine. I'll make a Small Nourishing Pill!"

Jiao Ci laughed in anger upon hearing this, "What kind of renowned doctor is this? Someone, come here..."

But before he could finish speaking, Sun Hongbo suddenly opened his eyes. "Bai Cang, do you dare to refine medicine on the spot?"

Bai Cang cupped his hands and said, "What is there to be afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo flicked his sleeve, and dozens of medicinal herbs flew towards the high platform.

With another clap of hands, several disciples from the medicine hall carried out medicine cauldrons and other alchemy equipment.

"this……"

Jiao Ci was a little confused when he saw this, and quickly looked at the Three Capitals and Five Lords.

But all of them stared intently at Bai Cang, showing no sign of objection.

Others may not know, but are they not aware of the importance of the Medicine Master in the Abbot's eyes?

No matter how famous or skilled a doctor is, none can compare to a seasoned pharmacist.

On a smaller scale, the pharmacists who can refine various elixirs are crucial to the overall strength of the Sanyin Temple.

On a grander scale, that relates to the abbot's spiritual practice and path.

The abbot is practically going crazy trying to train an alchemist to serve him exclusively!

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, they dare not be negligent in the slightest!
