Everyone in the square stood up.


    "Greetings, Hall Master!"


    The crowd bowed and shouted in unison.


    This alchemy Hall Master was a legend in the alchemy world. He had been in charge of the alchemy Hall for nearly a thousand years.


    "You''re wee, sit down!"


    The hall Master waved his hand and smiled as he flew over the square.


    "In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed. Our alchemy world is weing a New Alchemy gathering. I am quite pleased to see many young faces among you. Young people are the future of our alchemy world."


    "I also wish these young people a good result in this elixir gathering."


    "Alright, I won''t say much. Next, let the elder introduce the rules!"


    After the hall Master finished speaking, an elder stepped forward and said in a clear voice,""This pill concocting session has a total of four stages. The first stage is nts and vegetation. The second stage is pill concoction. The third stage is cauldron ascendance. The fourth stage, which is also the final stage, is pill battle!"


    "Every round is an Elimination System. Those who don''t meet the requirements will be eliminated immediately!"


    "The first stage is the stage of nts and vegetation! In this trial, your divine souls will need to leave your bodies and enter the world of nts. This world was created by the ancestor of the pill Pce, so it is absolutely safe. Please enter with ease. "


    "After entering the vegetation world, each of you will receive a piece ofnd and a bit of floral essence. This floral essence is used to evolve vegetation!"


    "Your task is to use the floral essence to derive more nts. The final result will be determined by the number of nts derived."


    "In the beginning, the amount of floral essence you will be able to obtain will be very limited. You will need to carefully consider what kind of nt you will be able to derive from the first batch. The more precious the nt, the more floral essence you will consume. Simrly, they will also produce more floral essence. You will need to decide for yourself what to do."


    "A year in the grass and wood World is only a day outside. This test willst for three days. In other words, you will have to stay in the grass and wood World for three years. "


    "Alright, the introduction ends here! Now, let''s begin!"


    As soon as the elder finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and a beam of spiritual light shot into the sky.


    It was a crystal clear pearl with emerald green smoke inside. It gathered and dispersed like a vast Gxy.


    The bead shook and started to spin, producing a strong suction force.


    Tang Hao didn''t feel anything, because he had cultivated the God void Scripture and the pure yang Scripture. His spirit was already extremely strong, and this bit of suction force couldn''t shake his spirit at all.


    However, for those with a weaker cultivation base, such as Dao-ying perfected Lord, their souls loosened and were pulled out of their bodies by the suction force, flying toward the Pearl.


    In an instant, countless souls flew up from all four corners of the square and entered the Pearl.


    Tang Hao looked up and furrowed his brows.


    If this wasn''t the pill Hall, he really wouldn''t be at ease with this thing.


    "Forget it! What''s there to be afraid of?"


    Tang Hao mumbled. He also released his astral body and retracted his aura. Then, like everyone else, his astral body surged toward the Pearl.


    When he got close to the bead, he let the suction force pull him in.


    His vision turned ck and his head began to spin. Tang Hao found himself in a vast space.


    There was a piece ofnd below him, about ten mu in size.


    It was bare and had nothing growing on it.


    Upon closer inspection, there was a ball of green light floating in the middle of the ground.


    "Looks like this is the floral essence!"


    Tang Hao lowered his body andnded on the ground, then grabbed the light.


    He looked around and saw no one else, only the vast expanse.


    He looked down at the barren ground below him and the ball of floral essence in his hand. Tang Hao smiled wryly and muttered,""We''ve started a plot ofnd, and we''ve to rely on nting crops! Why does it feel like I''m nting vegetables?"


    Tang Hao felt strange.


    However, he got used to it very quickly.


    He was not in a hurry to nt it. Instead, he sat down and began to ponder.


    He had already inquired about this first stage, and there were many ways.


    The clump of floral essence in his hand could evolve into a nt. However, it was not easy. To evolve into a nt, one had to be extremely familiar with the appearance and characteristics of the nt.


    After it evolved, one would have to nt it and nurture it. This was another difficult task, as the more precious a nt was, the harder it was to nurture it. One could easily die if they were not careful.


    Moreover, the type of nt you choose to evolve from at the beginning will directly determine the speed of your development.


    This test sounded simple, but in reality, it was very difficult. It tested an Alchemist''s knowledge of nts and vegetation in all aspects.


    "What should I evolve from the first batch? Should I nt low-grade ones first or start with high-grade ones?"


    Tang Hao furrowed his brows in thought.


    Low-level nts were easy to evolve and grow, but the amount of floral essence they produced was rtively small, notparable to higher-level nts.


    The predecessors had done the calctions. In theory, it was better to nt a high-grade nt from the beginning. However, the higher the grade of the nt, the harder it was to cultivate. If the nt did not grow sessfully, then everything would be over.


    "It seems that the best choice is still to choose a nt that is easy to raise. It must have the same tenacious vitality as a cockroach!"


    "There it is, this is it!"


    Tang Hao''s eyes glowed as he came to a decision.


    He sat cross-legged on the ground and held his palms in the air. He began to imagine the appearance of the nt in his mind. The ball of nt essence in his hand immediately began to change. It stretched continuously and turned into a Spirit Tree. Its branches and leaves, as well as its patterns, slowly began to appear.


    It took Tang Hao more than ten minutes toplete the task.


    "Iron Dragon fir!"


    This was a spiritual tree, known for its extremely tenacious vitality. It could grow no matter where it was, even if the spiritual energy was thin or thend was barren, it would still grow.


    Moreover, this spiritual wood was especially hard. It couldn''t be blown down by the wind and couldn''t be struck to death by lightning. It was simply a cockroach in the world of nts.


    The branches of this tree could be used to refine weapons, and the leaves could be used as medicine. They had the effect of calming the soul and nourishing the mind.


    After the evolution wasplete, Tang Hao was ready to dig a hole. He looked up and shouted,"shovel! A hoe!"


    With two thudding sounds, a ck shovel and a somewhat worn-out hoe fell to the ground.


    "F * ck! It''s that bad?"


    "F * ck!" Tang Hao cursed when he picked it up.


    "Forget it, as long as it can be used!"


    Tang Hao mumbled to himself. He dug a big hole and nted the hemlock Dragon fir.


    Following another roar, a water bottle and a water tank fell down.


    This ce was the same as the great void realm. It was a world created by a powerful person. There was a realm spirit inside that controlled everything.


    Of course, the person who created this ce was only a 7th or 8th tribtion Almighty. Naturally, he was far from a legendary figure like the great void God. The two worlds were not on the same level.


    "Little Shanshan, quickly grow it!"


    Tang Hao started watering the nts. He mumbled as he watered them.


    This hemlock Dragon fir was indeed easy to raise. After watering it for a while, it came to life and began to grow.
