“Twenty-four? It’s indeed a little old!”
The Elder in front of the group frowned slightly.
He was already so old. Even if he had some talent, their White Emperor Mountain would not accept him. However, since he was already here, he could not just chase him away. He could just find a random excuse to get rid of him later.
The crowd started to discuss among themselves. Even the people at the front of the group looked at them with slight mockery.
“How can White Emperor Mountain accept someone so old?”
“That’s right, at this age, no matter which sect it is, they won’t accept him!”
They were also discussing.
On the other hand, the young man had a calm expression on his face. Instead, he looked around curiously.
The group continued to advance. Soon, it was his turn.
The elder sat behind the table. He raised his eyes and glanced over. His eyebrows were knit together again, and he appeared to be a little disgusted.
“What name!”
He shouted impatiently.
The young man smiled and said, “His surname is Tang, and his name is Hao!”
The elder nodded and said, “Tang Hao! Okay!” As he spoke, he picked up his pen and scribbled these two words on his notebook.
“What cultivation level?”
The elder asked again.
“Foundation Establishment!”
Tang Hao said. As he spoke, he released a trace of aura. It was precisely early stage Foundation Establishment.
The elder was surprised. A twenty-four-year-old early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was not bad.
“What sect were you with in the past?”
“No sect! Itinerant cultivator!”
“Itinerant cultivator!” That elder was surprised again. As a itinerant cultivator, to be able to reach early-stage Foundation Establishment at twenty-four was already quite impressive.
However, he was already twenty-four years old after all. He was too old, and his potential was not high.
“Do you… have any specialties?”
After pondering for a moment, he asked.
“Special ability? Of course!” Tang Hao laughed.
“Oh? Tell me about it!”
“I know how to refine pills, and I know how to refine weapons. Oh right, I also know how to make talismans, a little bit of formations, and I also know how to plant medicines…” Tang Hao said seriously as he held his finger.
The elder opened his mouth in shock.
F*ck! Seriously?!
This kid must be lying!
He knew how to refine pills, refine weapons, talismans, spirit designs, and even plant herbs. He was versatile!
How was this possible?
This boy was only a few years old. Even if he had started cultivating when he was in his mother’s womb, it was impossible for him to achieve all five elements. At most, he had come into contact with some superficial knowledge before bragging that he knew it.
He had seen many people like this. They only knew how to talk. They were dishonest and unreliable.
The surrounding crowd was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
“Haha! This guy is really thick-skinned. He really knows how to boast!”
“Spit! How shameless!”
The disdain in the elder’s eyes grew. This brat was not only old, but he was also dishonest.
Then, as if he had thought of something, a strange expression appeared on his face. “Kid, do you really know everything?”
“Yeah!” Tang Hao said.
The elder sneered and thought, ‘This kid is still stubborn!’
“Alright then, let’s take the test! Actually, my White Emperor Mountain always welcomes people with certain special abilities. We have set up tests as well. As long as you pass, my White Emperor Mountain welcomes you!”
“I’m sorry if I can’t pass!”
“How is it? Do you want to test it now?”
As the elder spoke, he looked mockingly at Tang Hao.
In his opinion, this brat was definitely boasting. If he really wanted to test it, he would reveal his true form. Therefore, when he heard that he wanted to test it on the spot, this brat would definitely flee.
Everyone laughed loudly and started to jeer.
“Test! What’s there to be afraid of! Don’t you know everything?”
Tang Hao laughed and nodded. “Okay! I’ll test it!”
The elder was stunned.
Everyone was stunned. Then, they became excited.
This guy actually agreed. This was going to be a good show.
The elder pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, “Kid, follow me!” With that said, he brought Tang Hao to the side where several tables were set up.
There were four of them, and one person sat behind each of them.
“Look, this alchemy test, this refining test, this talisman test, and this, the formation test. As for planting medicine, it’s not too important. We’re not in a good situation.”
The elder pointed to a row of tables and introduced them.
At this moment, the four people behind the table all looked over. They sized up Tang Hao and frowned.
“Old Cao, how old is he?”
Elder Cao hesitated for a moment before he said, “24!”
“What? Twenty-four? That’s too old! Test my ass! Just disqualify him!”
Those people shouted.
Then, someone asked, “Right, Old Cao, what is he testing for?”
Elder Cao had a strange expression. “Testing for all four!”
Pfft!
The four of them almost spat.
“All four? Are you serious?”
They were speechless.
They had never met someone who wanted to test four subjects at the same time.
“No mistake!” Elder Cao said. “It’s just four tests. He said he knows everything!”
The four looked at Tang Hao suspiciously.
“A jack-of-all-trades? You must be bluffing!”
At this moment, Tang Hao laughed: “We’ll know once we test whether he’s bluffing or not!”
“Hey! Boy, you sure have a big mouth! Alright, then let’s test it. Why don’t you do my test first? As long as you can refine this pill within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then you’ll pass.”
“As for mine, you need to refine a artifact within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You can refine anything.”
“And me…”
They were fighting for the Dao, but they were all hoping to see a joke.
At this moment, more and more people gathered around them.
They had all heard that there was a boy here who boasted about his ability to do all four tests.
Tang Hao stood in front of the four tables. He swept his eyes around and muttered, “Five minutes?”
“Why? Do you think it’s too short?”
Tang Hao smiled faintly and said, “How could such a small feat take an incense’s time? You guys are too insulting. A few breaths are enough!”
The moment he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
In the next moment, loud laughter erupted.
“Hahaha! Did you guys hear that? This kid said that it would only take a few seconds. Oh my, he’s blowing his own trumpet.”
“A few breaths? Damn it, is this kid insulting our intelligence!?”
The crowd was in an uproar.
There was mockery on everyone’s faces.
In a few breaths of time, he could refine a pill, an artifact, a talisman, and a formation?
Anyone who was not a fool would know that this was impossible!
At this moment, Tang Hao stepped forward and came to the rightmost table. There was a piece of metal on it. It was the most common dark iron, low-level refining material.
He extended his hand and gently pulled. The dark iron flew up and landed in his palm.
Flames burst out from his palm. The black iron melted instantly and transformed into a bracelet. The patterns on it lit up.
Behind the table, the elder was stunned.. His eyes widened so much that they almost popped out.
