The second test took several variations, but one thing was in common, laying traps. This test was not on the abilities to solve formations, but to identify traps and all sorts of plots…
The results were hard to watch!
Only about a hundred of the five to six hundred people passed the second test. The third test would eliminate dozens of people. Eventually, among the more than ten thousand people, only dozens could join Chamber of Relics. The elimination rate was quite high.
The eliminated would be driven away from the region at once. They couldn’t even stay on as onlookers. When the final group finished the test, Patriarch Tian said, “Okay, the ones that passed the test will come to the Valley of Relics with us and start the final round of tests. The ones that can pass the final test will be recognized as registered disciples of Chamber of Relics.”
A group of people followed Patriarch Tian into Valley of Relics while the disciples stayed on guard around the group in case the newcomers would create messes in there.
“Wow, the Valley of Relics is huge!”
As soon as Lu Li and the group stepped in, they were stunned to see a large number of buildings. The buildings were not crowded together. There was a distance between each one of them. The Valley of Relics had no end in sight. Instead of looking like a city, the Valley of Relics was more like a huge tribe that was made up of several villages.
The Valley of Relics had a nice view. There was a river here. Lu Li and the group walked along the main road and they noticed something interesting—people in Valley of Relics were busy!
Nobody paid any attention to this group here. Though many people were inside the buildings, they didn’t come out to check. The pedestrians were hurrying about. They threw a glance at the group here but paid no further heed.
The buildings in the Valley of Relics were not crowded together while the people were here busy as bees. Many people put on solemn expressions. Lu Li also saw someone reading books by the road and didn’t even notice that people were walking by.
“They seem to have become obsessed with the study!”
Lu Li nodded. The atmosphere in the Chamber of Relics was quite good. Those here must be craftsmen who had all their minds focused on Inhibition Formations and forging artifacts. One could become accomplished once became obsessed. How could one make qualified artifacts if one just fooled around every day?
The group kept on walking for an hour until they reached a huge plaza. Many tripod stoves were placed at the plaza, along with many tools, materials, and crystals.
Patriarch Tian led the group here. Taking a look at the group, he said, “This is the final test, to forge artifacts! You all know that the Chamber of Relics is famous at southern Divinity for forging artifacts. Craftsmen are celebrated. You must know something about forging artifacts since you are eager to join the Chamber of Relics. Therefore, the last round of tests is to forge artifacts!”
“Of course… we are not expecting that you can make Relics. You just have to have to produce a prototype within three days. We will evaluate the prototype you make, and we will pick out half that we consider as the best ones. Those people can join the Chamber of Relics. For the other half, I am sorry, but you will have to leave. So, please spare no pains.”
“Eh…”
Lu Li was frustrated because he knew nothing about forging artifacts. The books he had been reading were all about Inhibition Formations. There were many books on forging relics in that hall, but he had not read any one of them!
“Crap~”
Lu Li was annoyed to see others with complete confidence. Those people must have come prepared and he was the only one showed up here with no knowledge.
Of course, the Chamber of Relics would test their ability to forge artifacts. The others here must have learned to forge artifacts for some time, and he was the one exception.
“What to do?”
Lu Li’s eyebrows were knitted together. Was he going to accept defeat on the verge of victory? Where should he go if he could not join the Chamber of Relics?

Nearby one hundred people would start forging artifacts together for three days. Their final works would be presented to the judges to evaluate. The qualified ones would stay and the other half would have to leave. What could Lu Li make when he knew nothing about forging artifacts? He didn’t even know what to do with the stoves and tools…
“Crap. I’ll have to learn and apply!”
Lu Li thought a lot about it. The only option was to copy other’s actions. He had to observe how others were doing and copy their actions and see if he could make something in three days.
“Okay. Select your stove.”
Patriarch Tian waved his hand. “We have prepared dozens of materials and crystals for you. You can make all the prototypes you want. You will decide the specifics. All we care about is the result and the quality of the final works. Okay… and begin!”
Many people hurried to pick a stove and they performed inspections on the stove, materials, and crystals as preparation.
Lu Li chose a stove placed in the middle of the plaza. He acted as if he was checking the materials while his psychic power was sent to the surrounding area.
Someone had already activated the stove. Lu Li used psychic power to check at once to learn how to turn on the stove.
While Lu Li was observing others, he was the subject of observation as well. But the ones checking up on him were not fellow examinees, but people from Chamber of Relics.
Patriarch Tian was one of them. He would check on Lu Li every now and then since he was the first to pass both the former tests. Besides, he and Lady Dan had some conflicts. It was hard to avoid attention in this way.
“Eh?”
Patriarch Tian noticed that Lu Li had been looking through the materials and that was all he did. He was also peeking others as well.
“Does he… not understand forging artifacts?”
Patriarch Tian wondered. If Lu Li had such knowledge, why was he peeking others? The others had started but he had not taken any actions.
Over half of the one hundred people had turned on the stove and others began to take actions one after one. Finally, Lu Li did something. He opened the lid and poured out divine energy but… he failed!
“Eh… he really does not know forging artifacts!”
While Lu Li appeared to be calm, he was sweating in his hands. He did pour out divine energy, but he didn’t even turn on the switch at the bottom of the stove.
Lu Li composed himself to see how the others were turning on the stoves after he realized that nothing was happening when he poured out divine energy. Soon, he noticed what the problem was. Finally, he turned on the switch and the stove was turned on!
“Ha, ha!”
Many disciples of Chamber of Relics snorted. Lady Dan was their muse and Lu Li had offended their muse. Of course, they would not be friendly to Lu Li.
At the moment, they were gloating that Lu Li couldn’t even turn on the stove. If he knew nothing about forging artifacts, then even when he could make a prototype, that would be of low quality.
“Find out about him!”
A young, handsome man with signaled a disciple. A cold glare rose in this handsome man’s eyes. He could find a chance to vent anger for Lady Dan if Lu Li had no strong connections and was expelled after he failed this test.
This handsome man would feel it worthwhile to kill Lu Li if that action could buy a smile from Lady Dan…
