"I hope this barrier will disappear later!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and concentrated on waiting for the disappearance of the barrier above him.

After a while, he suddenly sensed several streams of killing intent specifically targeted at him nearby.

He furrowed his brows, followed the source of that killing aura and saw that it was actually three young men emitting killing intent towards him.

"In this place, those who wish to kill me must be those six people from before!"

He scanned the vicinity but did not see the three people who were hit by his Sword Qi.

When he traversed through the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps Void, he had already seen his nine streams of Sword Qi bombard those three people, and he judged that they were either dead or severely injured at this point.

He noticed that the vital energy within the bodies of those three men ahead was abundant, and they seemed uninjured.

Obviously, those three were not the ones previously hit by his nine streams of Sword Qi, but another three who were pursuing that cluster of green light.

Duan Gujin didn't even need to think hard to know that those six people must be very angry at him.

"When my younger brother left, he told me I must seek revenge for him! You guys decide, what should we do?" said one of the three men to the other two.

"Tang Yi, rest assured, we will definitely avenge your brother!" the other two men said to comfort the one who had spoken.

"Yang Huang, Chu Tianlong, what can we do to force him out of this test?" Tang Yi asked.

"The situation here is unclear at the moment, we should wait until things clear up before making plans. There are many people here, and if we start a fight, it'll be hard to justify ourselves!" said one of them.

"Yes, yes! We can't start a fight here, in case we are misunderstood by the people from Liuyun Immortal Sect, that wouldn't be good!" added Chu Tianlong hastily.

"Good, we'll take our chance to make a move if an opportunity arises!" A sharp light passed through Tang Yi's eyes as he knew they still had the upcoming competition, and they didn't want to be delayed by Duan Gujin and miss their great prospects.

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, but still could not find those three previously hit by his nine streams of Sword Qi.

"Where did those three go? Could they be on their way here?"

Time passed by little by little.

However, the barrier in the sky was still there, unchanged.

As time continued to slip by, quite a few contestants gradually arrived at this place.

After asking around, others found out that from a great distance, they had sensed strong spatial energy fluctuations here.

They immediately realized that something was happening, so they all rushed over.

Half an hour later, a low voice suddenly emerged in the sky.

"Everyone, come on up now! We will soon begin the final test!"

Hearing that deep voice, the crowd below did not show anger; instead, they responded with enthusiastic applause.

"What's going on here? What is the Liuyun Immortal Sect up to?"

However, similar doubts crossed the minds of many people.

"Everyone, come on up!"

Subsequently, the barrier in the sky above the people below disappeared, and they sensed its absence.

Duan Gujin and others promptly cast their Flying Techniques and swiftly flew upwards.

It was only after flying up that they discovered there was actually a small palace among the clouds.

At that moment, atop the small palace, an orderly array of over a hundred Alchemy Furnaces was set up, not far from the Alchemy Furnaces was a table.

"What magical methods the Liuyun Immortal Sect has!"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

A deep voice once again resounded in everyone's ears.

"Welcome, all of you, to this place. If you pass this final test, you will succeed in becoming a Sixth-level Alchemist! The first test we've set up here is to examine your observational skills and adaptability. Many times when an Alchemist wants to become a High-level Alchemist, they have to rely on their own efforts to find high-grade Spiritual Medicines. During the first test, many of you focused your attention on finding Spiritual Medicines and didn't think that those Medicines might be located underneath that particular spot. Therefore, the first test primarily assessed your observational skills and adaptability. Some people couldn't find the answer and just followed suit after watching others, which is considered barely passing! The first test was just a small display of skill."

Upon hearing this, the crowd drew a breath of cold air.

"So there was so much knowledge involved in the first test!"

Many contestants on site passed the first test by observing others break the ice to collect fish and some seaweeds from beneath the water to refine Elixir Pills, emulating them to eventually pass the test.

Thinking of their narrow pass, the faces of those contestants turned red.

"That's right! We Alchemists usually don't pay much attention to observation, and I got stuck on the first test! Fortunately, I managed to scrape by!"

"The second test is designed to examine your three kinds of abilities. In this test, as long as you really meet the requirements, you can pass! Those who can't pass this one, wait for the next Alchemist test by Liu Jie. The real challenge lies in the third test, which mainly evaluates an Alchemist's analytical abilities. The Alchemy Furnaces, Steles, and plants in the ruins are all placed by us. Those plants are not Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass. Some contestants happily completed this task, thinking they achieved a great success! Those brainless contestants might as well participate in the next test! And you are fortunate to have passed the first three tests. Now you are entering the final test, which is the real evaluation of your Sixth-level Alchemy Techniques!"

That deep voice revealed the purpose of the entire test, and upon hearing this, many people gasped once again.

Those four women's mouths gaped open, their faces a picture of stunned shock.

"It turns out we guessed everything wrong! We're like blind cats stumbling upon dead rats! That's how we barely scraped through the third test!"

Those four women's faces flushed with embarrassment, but luckily, they had thick skins and quickly returned to their normal composure.

The deep voice continued, "I know many of you relied on luck to get through the first and third tests, and genuine skill to pass the second test, but the fourth test, which truly assesses your Alchemy Techniques, is starting soon. All of you should now find an Alchemy Furnace and sit down to rest and recuperate. On each table, there is an Elixir Pill for recovering power, and each of you can only take the Elixir Pill in front of you. You absolutely cannot take Elixir Pills from other tables! Anyone caught doing so will be expelled! Also, do not touch the storage rings on the table until I give the command that you can, as touching them will result in expulsion!"

After hearing this, everyone quickly went forward to find a table, then picked up the Elixir Pills placed on the table, consumed them, and all sat down to regain their energy, replenishing their Primordial Power.

After 15 minutes, that deep voice called out again.

"Now you can take the storage rings on the table. Inside, you'll find your materials and the subjects for this test!"

Everyone immediately reached out to take the storage rings on the table and quickly learned what the fourth test entailed.

Duan Gujin picked up the storage ring from the table and his Divine Sense entered it.

After a while, he took a sharp intake of breath.

"Unexpectedly, the final test turns out to be like this!"
