Su Jingzhen knew that he was still within the central square.
However, the scene before his eyes was a vast wilderness filled with countless plants, looking like a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming. The fresh, natural atmosphere was invigorating.
“What kind of test is this?”
This scene left Su Jingzhen confused once again.
Before entering, Zhou Daoqi hadn’t laid down any rules, only stating that whoever left within three days would be the first.
As he pondered this, Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness instantly spread out.
Yet, the space he was in seed endless.
Even with his current cultivation level, his divine consciousness couldn’t reach the boundaries.
Su Jingzhen frowned again.
He had no imdiate clue.
He began to walk forward, and the scents of grass and flowers started to fill his nostrils.
His heart stirred again: “Everything here is related to plants.
Since this is a test for the alchemy competition, could it be testing my control and understanding of wood attributes or dicinal herbs?”
Thinking about it, Su Jingzhen stopped.
He looked around and picked up a tender, young grass.
He touched it, closed his eyes, and quietly sensed its dicinal properties.
A wisp of wood energy from the grass then flowed into Su Jingzhen on its own.
Although it was insignificant, Su Jingzhen clearly felt it.
He discovered that within this space, his perception of the herbs seed sharper.
The first step in alchemy is to understand herbs.
Only by knowing their properties can one effectively combine them with other herbs.
When Su Jingzhen made this discovery, countless images appeared outside the square.
They showed everyone inside the barrier.
Of course, the most attention was paid to Su Jingzhen, Little Ling, and others.
“What does this test an?
A vast wilderness, are they going to turn all these plants into pills?”
“This is interesting; it’s more engaging than just competing on stage.”
“No, this should be their first scenario.
Alchemists first focus on their understanding of various dicinal herbs.
Haven’t you noticed? Every ti a contestant senses an herb, he gains sothing.
This is a benefit provided by the Divine Dan Sect’s unparalleled resources.
Perhaps that is why so many alchemists from dozens of realms are eager to participate.”
“It’s a pity that we didn’t make it to the second round. Even if you can’t get out in three days, just being in that environnt would greatly improve your understanding of dical principles.
The benefits of the Grand Alchemy Event seem to show up in the second round.
I wonder when the next Great Alchemy Event will be. I hope by then, I’ll have reached a level where I can enter the second round.”
“……”
As countless people in the square discussed this, the 230,000 alchemists who were eliminated in the first round felt endless disappointnt and frustration.
They knew exactly what kind of environnt Su Jingzhen and the others were in.
Only a force like the Divine Dan Sect, which ranks at the top of the cultivation world and specializes in alchemy, could create such a scene.
In front of everyone’s eyes, Su Jingzhen picked up several different kinds of plants, each with a unique shape.
He gently touched them and felt their dicinal properties.
More and more wood energy gathered in him.
As this wood energy accumulated, Su Jingzhen felt that his understanding of herbs beca increasingly sharp.
“Indeed, it’s a talent test, a manifestation of talent.
No, this is a gift from the Divine Dan Sect to all alchemists participating in the second round, a gift that enhances alchemical talent.”
Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile.
He had understood the purpose of the second round.
He was beginning to understand why so many alchemists were eager to attend this grand gathering.
A good ranking could lead directly to joining the Divine Dan Sect, a sanctuary for alchemists.
Even if one was eliminated in the middle, the second round offered a boon that ordinary alchemists might pursue for the rest of their lives.
This permanent improvent in the understanding of wood energy was perhaps a fatal attraction for all alchemists.
Su Jingzhen opened his talent panel imdiately.
【tal Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 23/100】
【Wood Spiritual Roots (Earth): 0/1000】
【Water Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 25/100】
【Fire Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 89/100】
【Earth Spiritual Roots (Ordinary): 32/100】
【Remaining Available Points: 20475】
It had been a long ti since he had last opened the Spiritual Roots talent panel.
When he decided to focus on alchemy, he had raised his wood spiritual roots to the earth level.
He had felt that it was sufficient and hadn’t paid much attention to it since then.
Later, when he took up body cultivation, the impact on his spiritual root attributes was minimal, so he had focused more on body cultivation.
Today, it seed that he would have to spend so points on spiritual roots again.
Since the second round tested talent, the higher his wood spiritual roots, the clearer his perception of dicinal principles.
“I had planned to keep a low profile, but I accidentally won first place in the first round and beca the focus of attention.
Staying low-key in the second round would be aningless.”
Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and chose to enhance his wood spiritual roots!
In the next instant, a thousand points were deducted from his remaining available points.
His Spiritual Wood Roots were directly raised to the Heavenly level!
【Wood Spiritual Roots (Heavenly): 0/2000】
【Remaining Available Points: 19475】
Seeing the Wood Spiritual Roots category, Su Jingzhen’s expression beca serious.
In his understanding, heavenly spiritual roots seed to be the limit.
But it seed like that wasn’t the case.
He didn’t rush to further enhance them.
Instead, he picked up a silver-white herb with five leaves.
Closing his eyes, he sensed the herb’s dicinal properties.
It was more than ten tis sharper than when he had earth spiritual roots.
“Indeed, the level of spiritual roots significantly affects the perception of dicinal principles.”
Thinking this, Su Jingzhen was about to spend more points to further enhance his wood spiritual roots.
But before he could do so, the space in front of him suddenly twisted.
The scene of birds and flowers in front of him shattered like a broken mirror.
In an instant, he entered the next scenario.
