"Are you kidding me?"
"This stone tablet is just an ordinary stone tablet!
It doesn't have any spiritual energy! "
"That's right!
Gaining the recognition of an ordinary stone?
Isn't this a dream? "
The elders' words instantly caused a commotion among the crowd!
This stone tablet looked so ordinary.
Who could gain its recognition?
"Cough cough …"
While everyone was discussing, the elders of the Alchemy Faction cleared their throats at the same time.
Their expressions didn't look too good.
Looking at the crowd, they spoke slowly after a while. "Those who are willing to try can come forward now.
Of course, those who are unwilling will not be held back!
“
The elder said in a deep voice, then retreated to the side.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of people in the square quietened down.
Many people felt melancholy as they stared at the stone tablet and began to fret.
Fang Yu was the same.
He was also very suspicious in his heart. Could it be that this seemingly ordinary stone really had some kind of special power?
Fang Yu wasn't even this nervous when he was nibbling away at the competition earlier.
"I'll go first!"
Finally, after a long period of silence, a young woman slowly stepped forward.
Under everyone's gazes, she walked to the side of the stone tablet.
Then, according to the elders' instructions, she placed her hands on the stone tablet!
"Dong dong dong ~"
The atmosphere was extremely stifling.
Fang Yu could even hear the heartbeats of the people around him.
After the lady placed her hands on the stone tablet, the stone tablet was still intact.
There was no fluctuation of energy, and nothing unusual happened.
"Huff ~"
Just as everyone was feeling extremely puzzled, Fang Yu suddenly sensed a faintly discernible power from the stone tablet. Immediately, it became clear.
It wasn't very strong and disappeared in an instant.
After that strange power disappeared, the stone tablet actually started to change slowly.
In a few breaths, the stone tablet actually lit up with a strange emerald light!
At the same time, the lady's face was filled with confusion.
It could be seen that she was not affected by that power and was still in a state of confusion up until now.
"Good!"
At the same time, the elders behind him nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. The first person to qualify for the Alchemy Faction selection is actually a lady!
“
"What?
Is this considered a pass? "
"What's going on?"
"I don't know!"
As soon as the elder's voice fell, there was another uproar in the surroundings.
Initially, he thought that it was no big deal.
Who would have thought that it would be so simple and ordinary?
For a moment, everyone came back to their senses.
"Let me try!
“
"Me too!"
"I'll go first!"
Many people were already rushing toward the stone stele, competing with one another for the stone stele.
"Hehe!"
Only the two middle-aged men behind Fang Yu sneered for no reason.
Fang Yu pretended not to hear, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
The two of them definitely knew what had happened on the stone tablet.
As expected, the moment Fang Yu's ears perked up, the two of them had already spoken.
"A bunch of idiots!
Do you really think it's a broken rock? "
"This is the Heaven Seeking Stone!"
One of them slowly spoke.
"Heaven Seeking Stone? What is that?"
The person standing beside the middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
"This is the Pill Sect's Sect Guarding Treasure!"
"Oh?"
When he said those words, not only were the people beside him confused, even Fang Yu was confused.
Sect Guarding Treasure?
As Fang Yu muttered to himself.
The middle-aged man's voice sounded behind him once more.
"This Heaven Seeking Stone is the foundation of the Pill Sect's hundreds of years of legacy!
Back then, a few great alchemists gathered here and engraved everything they had learned in their lives on this stone tablet.
Anyone who can comprehend the pill refinement techniques on the stone tablet has a chance of becoming an alchemy master.
Unfortunately, up till now, no one has been able to comprehend all the words on the stone tablet completely.
The previous sect masters were able to become sect masters because they comprehended many of the pill refinement techniques on the stone tablet!
Have you heard of the seniors Alchemy Immortal and Alchemy Saint?
The two of them had also managed to comprehend quite a lot of things from the steles. However, no one knew what the two of them had managed to comprehend.
They only knew that from then on, the two of them lived in seclusion!
This time round, the Pill Sect placed the threshold of the selection on the stone tablet. It seemed like it was as they said – there weren't many capable people left in the Pill Sect!
That was why they were so eager to start the selection this time round.
Furthermore, by the looks of it, they seem to want to select some elite disciples … "
The middle-aged man was still mumbling to himself when Fang Yu roughly understood what was going on.
His gaze landed on the stone tablet again.
At that moment, the stone tablet was surrounded by people.
The middle-aged man's gaze landed on the stone tablet as well. Then, he pursed his lips again and said, "Do you think it's that easy for these people to gain the recognition of the stone tablet?
That person was just lucky just now! "
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, a series of sighs could be heard from the stone tablet.
"Is there something wrong with this stone tablet?"
"It's broken …"
"Why isn't there any reaction at all?"
The group of people who had surrounded the stone tablet earlier on had sorrowful looks on their faces.
They grumbled and placed their hands on the stone tablet for a long time without any reaction.
After trying a few times, the results were exactly the same. In the end, they could only give up helplessly.
A few people who did not believe in heresy tried one after another.
However, the results were the same.
Ever since the first time the stone tablet emitted an emerald green light, there was nothing unusual about it anymore.
It stood tall in the distance and looked no different from an ordinary stone tablet.
"Alright, everyone has two chances to try. Those who do not gain the recognition of the stone tablet will be eliminated!
“
The few elders of the Alchemy Faction had already lost their patience.
Half an hour had already passed.
There were about thirty to fifty people who had tried.
However, these people did not seem to gain the recognition of the stone tablet.
Apart from the first woman, no one else had been able to make the stone tablet react.
The few elders of the Alchemy Faction looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.
After being urged to leave by the elders, the remaining people did not continue to stay.
They left the place in distress. For a moment, the remaining people, who were originally full of joy, could not laugh anymore.
After a while, the stone tablet was completely silent.
No one dared to try again.
Behind the stele, there was only that woman. She stood there all by herself.
This was merely the qualification test for the Alchemy Faction trial.
This made everyone feel intimidated at the sight of it.
The few elders of the Alchemy Faction already had disappointed looks on their faces.
There were still three rounds of tests after this.
These people did not even have the right to participate in those three rounds of tests.
This was somewhat out of their expectations.
