Test one's talent
The two groups of people who had planned to attack Long Chen were startled.
They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
After a while, the leaders of the two groups stood up and asked Long Chen in a deep voice, "Is what you said true?"
These people's cultivation bases were not as high as Yu Feng's. Originally, they had planned to join forces to attack Long Chen.
However, Long Chen's words gave them another choice.
Long Chen nodded and pointed to the giant cauldron in front of him and said, "This cauldron is used to test your talent in the second stage. I can imprint a Fire Controlling Technique Jade Slip and a Spirit Array Technique Jade Slip. You can use them one by one to test whether you have talent in Alchemy or Spirit Arrays."
Long Chen's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
Even the elder of the Hundred Smelting Clan who had been observing Long Chen from the sky couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Long Chen's fire control and simple alchemy skills had already surprised him. He was even a little tempted. But now, Long Chen's words shocked him.
One had to know that all the jade slips left behind on the Path of Immortal Ascension were personally branded by the Hundred Smelting Clan's Formation Elders or King Stage Alchemists. Even if an ordinary person could comprehend them, it would be extremely difficult to inscribe them again.
However, Long Chen actually wanted him to inscribe a Jade Slip and hand it over to the group of people behind him. This … was this really possible?
"Elder, should we stop him? If he's really able to brand his own jade slip, then wouldn't it be equivalent to cheating in the second stage? "A disciple of the Hundred Smelting Clan asked with a frown.
That Hundred Smelting Clan Elder said with a smile: "Even if this person has grasped some branding techniques, there should still be many flaws. Moreover, even if these people are tested, how many of them truly have the talent to refine talismans, formations, and medicinal pills?"
The Elder of the Wanjian Sect sneered and said, "It seems that this person has not only inherited the Tao of the sword but also some other acrobatic skills. With such a mottled cultivation, I'm afraid that he can't even reach the late stage of Huashen Realm. This kind of person who looks like a genius but is actually a waste can only enter your Hundred Smelting Sect!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people of the Hundred Smelting Clan and even the many elders immediately darkened. However, they also knew that other than retorting a few words, it was completely useless.
After all, strength was the foundation of everything in this world, and the Wanjian Sect had always been the most powerful of the five sects.
…
The elders of the five great sects sat on the wide backs of the flying demonic beasts and watched as the teams below began their tests. There were even some people who had already displayed great talent and directly entered the stone gate formation.
For example, Jian Shisan!
He walked directly to the front of the Wanjian Sect's stone gate array. Not only that, but he didn't even integrate any of the resource imprints he had obtained earlier. Instead, he used his powerful sword technique and Sword Will to kill a puppet in front of him.
This puppet was also very strange. It was almost completely immune to all attacks, only sword techniques and Sword Will could harm it. Moreover, its defense was very high, which made many people shrink back.
On the other side, the Divine Blade Sect also gained quite a bit. Two of them had comprehended two different blade intents and easily entered the stone gate array.
As for the Divine Vein Sect, their luck was even better. There was actually a youth in the Mid Soul Formation Realm who had a natural bloodline. This caused the Divine Vein Sect's elder to directly hand over the Immortal Ascension Token and accept him into the sect.
Not only that, the Wind Marquis also someone with an ancient bloodline. The blue feathers around his body scattered and he easily passed the test, then he entered the stone gate array.
… …
Seeing that there were already people entering the stone gate array, many people were filled with envy.
As for the Hundred Smelting Clan, there was also a different scene.
There were fewer and fewer people at the other stone gate arrays, but there were more and more people gathered here.
The reason for this was because of the jade slip in front of Long Chen!
Anyone who picked up this jade slip would actually be able to temporarily comprehend the technique of controlling fire, refining pills, and the technique of formations and incantations. Although this technique was extremely simple, it was enough for them to test whether or not they had the talent to refine pills and incantations.
If it was just this, then there would be people who would be suspicious. However, there were actually three disciples of the Black Dragon Empire behind Long Chen that had the talent to directly enter the stone gate array!
This was simply an explosive piece of news for everyone ….
It had to be known that at this time, not only did many people not have the stone key, they didn't even have the resources to take the test. Many people who practiced the sword were forced to participate in the Wanjian Sect's test, but the difficulty of entering the Wanjian Sect was very high. Without someone with Sword Intent, almost no one could succeed.
As for Long Chen, it was the complete opposite. On one hand, there was a free jade slip that could be used. On the other hand, everyone knew that the Hundred Smelting Clan was the easiest to enter among the Five Great Sects!
More and more people walked towards Long Chen. Every one of them cupped their fists towards Long Chen. There were even a few people with good cultivations who didn't seem to be willing to owe him a favor and directly returned the stone key.
Long Chen wasn't polite and directly accepted the stone key. In fact, he knew the meaning of these people's actions. After all, once they entered the stone gate array, what followed would be a battle of life and death.
After leaving behind the jade slip, Long Chen saw that all the disciples of the Black Dragon Empire had finished the test and only three people had the qualifications to enter the Hundred Smelting Clan. Shortly after, he laughed bitterly and no longer paid attention to the people present. He turned around and walked into the stone gate array.
Ao Cangqiong stared at Long Chen's back and laughed involuntarily. In his heart, he secretly thought that Long Chen was quite interesting. Not only was his battle prowess amazing, but he also knew how to refine pills and array formations … … Of course, the most important thing was that he knew how to brew wine!
This made Ao Cangqiong feel that this trip to the Five Great Sects was really not in vain.
He directly walked towards the Wanjian Sect. Then, he easily smashed the puppet with his sword and stepped into the stone gate array.
This scene caused the eyes of the Wanjian Sect's elder to widen. He had never thought that Ao Cangqiong, who was by Long Chen's side and hadn't made a move all this time, would actually have a sword cultivation that far surpassed that of Jian Shisan's.
The Wanjian Sect's elder muttered to himself, "I didn't think that the person traveling with Long Chen would have such a high sword cultivation. Later, I must recruit him into the sect and draw a clear line with Long Chen."
On the other side of the sky, the Hundred Smelting Clan's elder finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped on a flying demonic beast and landed on the ground.
"Alright, next, those whose cultivation hasn't reached the late stage of the Deity Transformation Realm can leave. This jade slip is confiscated!" The Hundred Smelting Clan's elder smiled bitterly and stared at the jade slip in his hand with a bit of curiosity.
The Hundred Smelting Clan had originally planned to only recruit a dozen or so disciples, but at this moment, more than 20 people had already entered through their stone gate array!
"Let me see what kind of array formation and fire control technique this brat has refined. It can actually allow these people to use it in a short period of time and test their talent." As the Hundred Smelting Clan's elder spoke, he sank his divine sense into the jade slip.
