The testing area was a massive round platform, with numerous furnaces and pill furnaces. There were also many iron basins filled with water, all serving as tools for the participants to showcase their abilities.
"Now, will the participating students please come up in sequence? Alchemists to the left, Swordsmiths to the right. The first test involves the Artifact Fire; if you can boil the water in the iron basin within ten minutes, you pass."
"What's Artifact Fire?" Chu Linfeng quietly asked Xue Jin Mountain.
Xue Jin Mountain rolled his eyes at Chu Linfeng, thinking this kid was really ignorant. "Artifact Fire is a unique flame exclusive to Swordsmiths and Alchemists. Some people can't become a Swordsmith or Alchemist simply because they lack Artifact Fire."
By this time, dozens of people had already ascended the platform, each standing before an iron stand holding a basin of water. The first round of testing commenced.
