“Bang—”
A bell rang from the top of the mountain, deep and long.
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked up at the source of the sound.
Nine figures were seen walking in the air, each standing on an auspicious cloud condensed by spiritual power.
The leader was a white-haired old man with a kind face but a gleaming gaze. His wide sleeves were embroidered with seven golden stars, the symbol of the Grand Elder of the Fuyao Sect.
"I am Huang Yaochen, and I welcome all of you talented people on behalf of the Fuyao Sect."
The old man's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Today's new member recruitment meeting is divided into three rounds. The first round tests talent, the second round tests medicinal material identification, and the third round tests alchemy.
Now, you may ask about the spirit formation in turn."
As he finished speaking, nine arches condensed on the barrier, and two disciples of Fuyao Sect stood in each arch.
The crowd began to move in an orderly manner, and Li Lingge followed the team forward at a leisurely pace.
"I heard the barrier of the Spiritual Inquiry Formation is stronger this year than in previous years." A young cultivator in a gray robe rubbed his hands nervously. "My cousin barely squeezed in last time, but I'm afraid it will be even harder this time."
The companion beside him turned pale: "I spent all my savings to buy three spiritual pills, and if I still can't get in..."
Li Lingge stood in the middle of the team, listening to the whispers of people around him.
"quiet!"
A clear shout sounded like thunder, and the square suddenly fell silent.
The Great Elder stood in the air, then waved his hand and spoke loudly.
"The Spiritual Questioning Formation has activated, and the assessment begins! You will enter the formation one by one. Whether you can pass depends entirely on your talent!"
The first in line was a young man in gorgeous clothes. He took a deep breath, held his head high and walked towards the pale golden barrier visible to the naked eye at the edge of the formation.
The moment his fingers touched the barrier, ripples appeared on the barrier and the boy's face changed suddenly.
His spiritual power exploded all over his body, veins popped out on his forehead, but he could only barely get his fingers through the barrier.
He gritted his teeth and moved in inch by inch as if squeezing into an invisible wall.
"ah--"
The young man suddenly let out a cry of pain, and was thrown several feet away, falling heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Unqualified, next one." The disciple of Fuyao Sect announced the result expressionlessly.
There were gasps from the crowd. How could that young man, who had reached the Immortal King level, not even be able to pass the first level?
The next dozen or so people were mostly similar to the first young man. Some of them could only squeeze in half of their bodies before being ejected, and some could not even cause the barrier to produce the slightest ripple.
It was not until the 23rd person that Luo Hongying stepped forward.
Although Shen Lang is a disciple of Fuyao Sect, he is just an ordinary inner disciple and has no qualifications to give Luo Hongying a recommendation letter.
Therefore, whether or not Luo Hongying can enter the Fuyao Sect depends on her own talent in alchemy.
Her fingers lightly touched the barrier, and the barrier suddenly opened up like water waves, creating a gap that allowed people to pass through.
A look of surprise flashed in Luo Hongying's eyes, and then she raised her foot and easily stepped into the formation.
Immediately afterwards, three clear bell sounds suddenly rang out from the formation, echoing throughout the entire square.
"Three sounds of the soul-asking bell! Profound level talent!"
"Xuan-level talent, not bad." The great elder who had been standing in the air nodded rarely.
Seeing this, Shen Lang couldn't help but feel happy, and the unhappiness in his heart was instantly swept away.
Although he knew that Luo Hongying's talent in alchemy was outstanding among her peers, he was still somewhat worried about whether she could pass the test of the Spirit Questioning Array.
He never thought that Luo Hongying could pass through the soul-questioning array so easily.
In the future, Luo Hongying will definitely be able to enter the inner gate, and then she will be worthy of him.
Li Lingge raised his eyebrows. Wei Xiang had never mentioned the matter of the Spirit Bell to him.
Seeing that he looked a little doubtful, the fat man next to him explained.
"The Soul-Questing Formation can divide the alchemist's talent into six levels: Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow. The Soul-Questing Bell will ring nine times, six times, three times, and one time respectively."
Li Lingge turned his head slightly and asked in confusion.
"You said there are six levels. Besides Tiandi Xuanhuang, there are two more levels?"
The fat man folded his arms over his chest and shook his head slightly.
"An alchemist with immortal or god-level talent wouldn't appear in a million years."
Hearing this, Li Lingge stopped talking, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he looked at the Spirit Questioning Formation. He really wanted to know what level of talent he had.
When it was Luo Yu's turn, she raised her chin slightly and walked straight to the barrier.
Seeing Luo Hongying pass the soul-questioning array so easily, she became even more confident.
He didn't even reach out to test it, but just walked forward, wanting to go straight through the barrier.
Bang!
However, what she didn't expect was that the barrier in front of her was like a thick wall, blocking her way firmly.
Her straight nose hit the barrier so hard that she almost bled from her nose.
Luo Yu's nose felt sore and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.
She covered her nose and supported her small hands on the barrier as if she was doubting her life.
Seeing this, Luo Hongying asked with a worried look on her face.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Luo Yu shook his head and muttered to himself.
Her talent in alchemy is definitely not inferior to that of her sister. Why can her sister pass through the barrier easily while she is blocked?
Since Chen Lang was standing nearby, no one urged Luo Yu.
But the Great Elder was still watching from above, so Shen Lang couldn't let Luo Yu in openly.
He glanced at the Great Elder out of the corner of his eye, then quietly stuffed a pill into Luo Yu's hand and whispered.
