Chapter 450: 450 The Selection

450 The Selection

The development of the following events was also beyond Yuchi’s expectations. Yuchi originally thought that this group of people would simply bring out their students and disciples and have Yuchi take one of them out with him.

However, the fifth-level alchemists went about things differently. Rather than recommending their own students and disciples, they decided to hold a selection that was advertised on the internet.

This selection was a theoretical assessment. However, it was not related to alchemy, but rather a psychological assessment.

There were a total of 1000 questions, and also extremely detailed requirements for the people who could participate in the test.

First of all, the person had to be above 18 years old, and could not exceed 28 years old.

Secondly, this person could not have a wife, husband, or child. They could also not be the only child in the family.

After all, after passing the assessment, this person would follow an extremely powerful senior to some rather dangerous places.

Even if he or she could come back, it would be many years later. There was no way to know how long it would take, or whether the person would actually be able to return at all.

When news of this appeared on the internet, no one knew what it was about.

What was the reason behind the psychological assessment?

Sure, there were similar assessments carried out in the past, which most people ignored. However, this time, the one who had published and organized the assessment was none other than the Alchemist Guild.

Under such circumstances, many, many people were attracted by the assessment notice and began to undertake it. After the assessment, most of the people received the answer that they had not passed. Only a very small number of people had passed the assessment.

Furthermore, these people who had passed the assessment would have to go through the next round of screening by the fifth-level alchemists.

Many of those who passed were not alchemists, and merely knew that alchemists were the most powerful people in the Alchemist Valley.

Seeing so many legends and heroes assessing them…

It was shocking!

Then, round after round of selection ended.

It was obvious that Yuchi would not take too many people with him.

Under such circumstances, choosing someone with the strongest willpower was clearly the wisest choice.

Then…

After going through the various rounds of selection from among countless people, three people were finally placed in front of these alchemists.

Two boys and one girl.

The two boys were 19 and 24 years old respectively. The girl was 22 years old.

The alchemists wanted to see not only courage within the person, but also an optimistic outlook on life.

In other words, not only would they be able to endure loneliness, but they also had to have to have hope in life. They were not going to the outside world to escape, but rather to observe and study it. They could not be afraid of hardship, danger or conflict.

They had to be the kind of person who would still smile in the face of danger.

Of course, the most important thing was…

No matter how exciting the outside world was, the person had to come back in the future. Responsibility and loyalty were key. Otherwise, all of this would be a wasted effort.

Yuchi did not participate in the selection. The whole process was handled by the Alchemist Guild.

When the time came, he would just take one person away. In any case, no matter how this person was selected, as far as the current situation was concerned, this person’s mental fortitude had to be rock solid.

After all, this was a very important matter. Otherwise, if he randomly dragged someone away who instantly regretted it after leaving, what would Yuchi do? Would he just kill this person? Or throw this person out to feed the demonic beasts?

There was nothing wrong with being more careful.

This was not something that would result in an outcome within 10 or 20 years. It would take at least 50 years. Yuchi would have to play things by ear. If the selected person could not cultivate, then he would have to send him or her back before they died.

Si Yuming had also participated in this psychological assessment, but it was obvious that she had no way of passing it.

Although she might be a very talented person, under such circumstances, her character was not the right fit.

This was also why things had suddenly become like this today. All kinds of discussions were rife on the internet.

Today, Si Yuming finally could not help but raise this question to Yue Hanjiang, who was eating with her. “So you’re going to take away the chosen person? To a place we can’t find?”

Hanjiang naturally nodded.

“I’m not not sure of the details yet. Everything will be handled by my brother. I’m just following my brother around. I’m not involved in the planning.”

Hanjiang was quite relaxed now. In any case, she was happiest when she was following her master around.

Over the past years, she had been to many places with her master. Every time they went to a new place, she would experience something new.

She really did not care about the future. She just needed to follow Yuchi obediently.

She hoped that one day she would be able to break through and become a demigod. Then, she would be even closer to her master.

However, this would be an arduous task. As a jinx, she was born with a Dao heart, which was why she had cultivated to this level so quickly. However, that was her limit. Once she reached the Dao heart realm, it all depended on her own efforts and comprehension.

She felt like she was falling further and further behind Yuchi. Her master was about to become a true god, yet she was struggling to reach the demigod realm.

However, Hanjiang would never back down.

No matter what, she just had to slowly walk forward until the day she would be able to catch up to her master.

…

After a long discussion among the fifth-level alchemists, they selected the final candidate, which was the girl.

The reason why they chose the girl was very simple and straightforward.

Yuchi was a man, so he would be more inclined to protect a girl. They wanted to appeal to his nature as a man.
