(Thanks to Grum for the gift.)

Wang Wei flew to his seat in the middle of the square, and not long afterward, Lord Spirit appeared with a noticeable smile on her face.
"Let's not waste time and get started. I will show the ranking for this trial from the lowest to the highest. In other words, from the person who lives the shortest time to the highest. I will only rank the top 12."
Lord Spirit waved her hand to the number 12 with a few dots. She appeared to be building suspense. A few seconds later, Shi Qian's name appeared, making her face pale in the fifth seeded-player seat.
An image appeared to display the things she did in the trial. Shi Qian did a basic breathing exercise to absorb Spirit Qi, but she focused on nourishing her soul and spiritual power. Afterward, she created a method of using karma for deduction or calculation. With it, she found a spirit turtle and raised that turtle with the few spiritual herbs and resources she had before turning it into a herbal soup.
The Spirit Turtle Soup raised her lifespan to 250 years, and after years of nourishing her body with Spirit Qi, she lived up to 300 years. freewёbnoνel.com
Lord Spirit did not stop and continued to the eleventh place, Jingwu Hua. Her method was radical from the beginning. As a demon, she has little to no affection for humans. So, her path of longevity involved absorbing life force from people.
Unfortunately, her actions were effective and counterproductive. Human lifespan–as energy or power–was murky and full of impurities. And even when she tried to purify them, her body and soul were severely damaged, and she only lived up to 312 years.
The tenth place was the brother of the Barbarian Siblings, Tolui. The first thing he did was use Spiritual Qi to temper his body. Then, he used his potent military prowess to conquer the world.
As he watched this part, Wang Wei thought the latter would use a method that used luck. But he was wrong. Tolui used his authority as a Sovereign to gather a harem of beautiful women, which he then used to practice a Yin-Yang Cultivation technique with them, nourishing his body and increasing his lifespan; he lived to 350 years old.
The ninth place was Feng Heng. The Taoist priest used a similar method to Wang Wei, absorbing Pure Yang energy from the sun and Pure Yin energy from the moon. He created a technique identical to Wang Wei but focused solely on Qi Refining. Feng Heng used Yin and Yang Qi to sublimate his Inner Qi and nourish his body. His result was the same time as Tolui, 350 years.
Wang Wei secretly shook his head as he could see the priest did not use his full ability. The concept of Essence, Qi, and Spirit is deeply rooted in Taoism, so he did not think of it. According to his speculation, the Taiyi Profound Gate might be one of the few sects that also created a method of condensing the Three Flowers on the Crown, and the other was the Five Element Balance Palace.
The eighth place was Mu Lei, whose approach was strange. He created a mass grave and buried himself. He made a method that turned him into a zombie by absorbing the Ghostly Yin Qi released by the graves. The technique was clever but also had a significant flaw: without enough Spirit Qi and specific rare resources, the Yin Qi eventually corroded his body and soul, leading to his death; he survived until he was 387 years.
'Zombie? Why do I feel like I will encounter something annoying related to zombies?' thought Wang Wei as he watched Mu Lei's trial. However, he soon focused on the next participant.
The seventh place went to Khutulun. Her method involved conquering the world to help her gather resources. Then, she created a pool of blood energy and sealed herself inside with a special method. By absorbing the energy, and because she had to use little to no vitality in the sealed state, she survived for 400 years.
"I'm only seventh?" complained Khutulun. Being sealed was a very uncomfortable feeling; it was like she was both dead and aware simultaneously. Time seemed to slow down because of how she perceived it. Her mind was in a murky state where she could not think carefully, yet, she was completely aware of her mind and existence. In conclusion, it was a disgusting feeling to experience, and she could not understand how the people who sealed themselves for countless generations survived; she could foresee the experience was even worse for them.
