This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Lian Xue slowly stepped forward, walked onto the arena, and came to the crystal. From a distance, the stone looked unremarkable.

But once she got closer, she sensed a particularly pure energy emanating from the spirit-testing crystal. Lianxue didn't know what kind of energy it was.

Like everyone else, he stretched out his hand, his palm swirling with spiritual energy, and pressed it against a recessed spot on the crystal.

The crystal trembled, and a point of yellow light rose from the bottom all the way to the top.

Wow! How is she so special?

"Could it be that she possesses the talent that the teacher mentioned, a talent that only a very few people have?"

"I don't believe it; it might just be a bluff."

"Hey! Keep watching, don't talk."

At the very top of the spirit-testing crystal is a circle.

As soon as Lian Xue placed her hand on it, before she could even input her spiritual energy, she felt a suction force pulling her spiritual energy into it.

Lianxue tried to pull her hand away, but the suction was too strong, and she failed several times.

Once the spiritual energy reached its peak, the sphere began to shimmer, and a yellow color slowly appeared.

And then... there was no more.

"See, I told you it was just a bluff. The front was so dazzling, but the back was just ordinary."

"Uh! This... this is also like this."

Seeing this, Xu Lai said, "Alright, you can go now."

Lianxue wanted to leave, but she couldn't let go of her hand. "Teacher Xu, I... I can't take my hand off."

Sweat dripped down Lian Xue's cheeks, and she felt as if her spiritual energy was being drained. Helpless, she asked for help.

Xu Lai initially thought that the girl was too nervous and was hesitant to let go, which was why she spoke up to remind her.

But he was taken aback when he heard her words, and then he reached out to pull Lianxue.

At this moment, in the majestic hall, a middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, his figure flashed and disappeared, as if he had never existed. If it weren't for the tea set shaking, one would think it was an illusion.

"Oh dear! How did he run away?" a woman said in confusion.

"I didn't notice!"

"Wait, look at the first psychic mirror." The man's voice rose an octave in surprise.

"what?"

"Oh dear! How could you do that?" After saying that, the second person disappeared.

"Damn it, you guys have no sportsmanship."

One by one, the figures disappeared.

Lianxue was still desperately pulling at his hand, and Xu Lai was also helping, but it was still no use.

"What's going on?"

"Is there nothing Teacher Xu can do?"

"Can someone explain what's going on? Does the spirit-testing crystal eat people?"

"Oh my god! I don't want to try it, it's too scary."

Various opinions were circulating, but Qing Shu was no longer there, because someone had just approached her saying that there was a letter from home.

She then realized that she had left in a hurry without letting her mother know she was safe, so she didn't know what had happened.

Xu Lai was also covered in sweat; he was exhausted and had no choice but to look up at the platform above for help.

The people on the high platform watched the two of them, thinking they were being toyed with, but after waiting for a while, they finally sensed that something was wrong.

Several people flew over, but before they could get close...

A dark shadow flickered on the high platform, and a man appeared. He had an otherworldly appearance and wore a green robe. He stepped down to the spirit-testing crystal.

Lian Xue felt she was about to collapse when suddenly a gentle force entered her body, and her hand easily left the spirit-testing crystal.

Taking a deep breath, Lianxue finally felt alive again.

Then five more dark figures flickered, and five people appeared.

"Hey Sect Leader You, you're so unethical! How could you try to snatch someone away first?" a man said angrily.

Sect Leader You said, "Sect Leader Hu, what you're saying is 'first come, first served,' don't you know that?"

"That's unfair, so unfair! It's not even yours yet, humph." Another old man said.

As the group of people below watched the argument, they were filled with question marks.

"What's going on? Even the sect leader has come out in person."

"What, where are the servants?"

The person on the high platform then flew down onto the arena.

"Greetings, sect leaders." The group hurriedly bowed.

Even the emperor himself came down to greet them.

Sect Leader You pulled Lian Xue aside and said, "Little girl, is there a sect you'd like to join? If not, how about coming to my Guiyuan Sect?"

Seeing Sect Leader You pulling Lian Xue along for an invitation, Sect Leader Hu glared at the Emperor and said, "Hey! I say, Ting boy, why are you so slow? You personally watched over such a good talent and still couldn't snatch him away, huh?"

It seems the emperor once studied at this sect, otherwise Sect Leader Hu wouldn't have said that.

The emperor looked bewildered and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Sect Leader Hu rubbed his forehead, looking utterly dejected, and said, "Oh dear! Didn't I tell you that while golden and purplish-gold are extremely rare, they do exist? But there's another kind that's one in ten thousand, remember?"

The emperor suddenly realized, "Could it be a physique that can resonate with any element and cultivate elements? A psychic physique."

"Oh dear, that's right, wouldn't it be a pity to miss out?" Master Hu said with a regretful expression.

Lian Xue listened to Sect Leader You's words, somewhat confused. Why? What's going on? What's the situation?

Then she heard the conversation between Master Hu and the Emperor behind her, and she realized that she had a psychic constitution, but what use was it?

After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I haven't decided where to go yet. May I ask you a question?"

Sect Leader You looked at him with an expression that said, "What question?"

Lian Xue thought for a moment and then asked, "Does your sect have any alchemists?"

"Hahahaha!" This remark drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

Sect Leader You looked at Lianxue seriously without smiling, "Girl, have you encountered any difficulties?"

“My older sister has been poisoned,” Lianxue replied as usual.

Another sect leader approached and said, "Little girl, do you know that the foundation for establishing a sect requires medicine, weapons, swords, talismans, and so on? Your question is a bit..."

The sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect walked over and pulled Lian Xue along, saying, "Little girl, come to our sect. We have all kinds of pills, and we can give them to you as long as you come. Moreover, our sect is all women, which is very suitable for you."

The sect leader of the Ancient Fiend Sect spoke up, "Come to our sect, and I can provide you with unlimited supplies, unconditionally."

Lian Xue thought for a moment and spoke again, "Then let me put it another way, is there such a thing as a top-grade detoxifying pill?" She glanced at the six sect leaders in front of her.

Several sect leaders immediately fell silent. Top-grade alchemists were not particularly numerous, and the difficulty of obtaining top-grade pills was unimaginable.

Sect Leader You smiled and said, "That girl, you must come to our sect. We happen to have a top-grade single master who is about to break through. He will emerge from seclusion in a few months."

"Heavens! For the sect leader to treat us like this, is this defying the heavens?"

"What's so special about this physique?"

Seeing this, Sect Leader Hu hurriedly spoke up, "Girl, come to our sect. Although we don't have any right now, give us two years. We'll definitely have top-grade pills in two years."

“But my sister can’t wait two years.” Lianxue shook her head.

He then looked at Sect Leader You and asked, "What are the conditions for joining the sect?"

Sect Leader You thought for a moment and said, "Top-grade pills, you must have heard what they just said. They are extremely rare. At least on our continent, there are no more than three known top-grade pill masters, and the whereabouts of two others are still unknown."

Seeing this, Lianxue looked serious and asked, "What are your requests?"

Sect Leader You smiled knowingly, "It's good that you've come. The requirements are simple: you need to complete tasks in the sect and exchange them for points. Of course, the pills can be given to you in advance."

Sect Leader Hu was furious upon seeing this. "I can give you the girl for free, but you have to leave to my sect first."
