Way of Mysterious World

“It’s just a test event, held once a year. Our Zhang Family will test the physical aptitude for the children of the people of Tianping County to see if they have a spirit root and whether they have Cultivation aptitude, Virtuous Nephew Liu will know when he comes to watch.” Zhang Guang explained slightly smiled.

Liu Yu stayed in the Zhang Family until the evening before returning to the residence. The Zhang Family hospitality was very enthusiastic, with excellent wines and delicacies, very rich. We also had a very happy conversation with Counselor Zhang, and agreed that Liu Yu would come to attend the Measuring Spirit Conference organized by Zhang Family seven days later.

In the past few days, the flow of people on the streets of Tianping County has increased significantly, and it is common to see country folks with children have endured the hardships of a long journey. These people either live in Qi Family or Inn, and some even sleep on the street.

For a while, people coming in Tianping County, people going are so lively, the idlers in the teahouse also discuss spiritedly, talking about the annual Measuring Spirit Conference held by Zhang Family.

Zhang Family holds such a conference every year. As long as there is a child in the family who reaches the age of six, and is younger than twelve, you can go to Zhang Family to sign up and test whether it has a cultivation aptitude for free.

If it is detected that there is a cultivation aptitude, Zhang Family will accept the child as an adopted son, give his biological parents a generous sum of money, and settle down properly.

Currently, Zhang Family has a manager named Zhang Zhenshan, who is the son of a cultivation aptitude who was admitted more than 20 years ago. His biological parents were originally villagers in the country and were very poor. Now because the child is adopted by Zhang Family as an adopted son, he has moved to live in the city a long time ago, and leads a leisurely life.

Such good things have spread throughout several hundred li. As long as this day is approaching every year, you can see many villagers who come from the countryside with children.

These people all look forward to their children’s spirit roots. For the sake of their children’s future and a prosperous life, they work hard to try one’s luck. This has created Tianping County for a while. The prosperity.

The day of the Measuring Spirit Conference came in a blink of an eye. A wide wooden platform was erected on a clearing not far from the Zhang Family compound.

Those who signed up for the Measuring Spirit Conference lined up in front of the stage early. County Magistrate Lin was also invited to watch on the high stage. A large number of county government arrests quickly maintained order in the stadium. The high platform all around the people who came to watch, the vast crowd was full of water, and the crowd was very busy for a while.

“Everyone is quiet, noon is here, and the Measuring Spirit Conference is starting now!” Zhang Zhenqi proclaimed loudly when he was prompted by patriarch.

After Zhang Zhenqi made the announcement, he opened a huge red wooden box on the wooden table next to it. After removing the lid, I saw a transparent sphere the size of a human head in the box.

The round ball crystal clear and near-transparent is like the moon pearl, which is a great treasure at first glance. All around the people have different opinions, and they have guessed what kind of treasure this is.

“Virtuous Nephew Liu, this is a Magical Artifact from the family, used to test the spirit root.” Zhang Guang introduced to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu arrived very early to watch the Measuring Spirit Conference. You can’t see this kind of scene in Yellow Saint Mountain, which is a bit strange.

“Oh! How to test this Lingzhu?” Liu Yu asked if he hadn’t seen it before.

“Virtuous Nephew Liu will continue to read, and he will know it.” Zhang Guang sold a pass, turned his head and talked to County Magistrate Lin.

Zhang Zhenqi cautiously held the Spirit Orb and slowly walked to the center of the wooden table. There was a long wooden table in Taichung with an array carved on the wooden table. There are more than 20 low-level Spirit Stones placed in the corners of the array, which may be used to drive the measuring spirit.

Zhang Zhenqi put the Test Spirit Orb on the array, and loudly said: “This treasure is called the Test Spirit Orb, which is an ancestral object of my Zhang Family. Later, every child who signed up for the test , Walk to the table alone, put your hands on the Spirit Orb. After a few breaths, if the Spirit Orb emits light, it means that the child has a spirit root. If the Spirit Orb does not respond, it means that the child does not have spirit. root.”

After finishing talking, Zhang Zhenqi waved to the audience, indicating that the first child could be on stage.

The first family in the line is the villager family from the country, a dark man in shabby linen, with a thin little boy.

At the sign of the dark guy, the little boy lowered his head and pulled the corners of his clothes slowly onto the high platform. Obviously, this child, who had never seen a big scene, was very nervous now.

The little boy walked to the table, and under Zhang Zhenqi’s reminder, he pressed his hands on the Spirit Orb. After a few breaths, Test Lingzhu did not respond. The dark-skinned man watching in the audience showed a look of loss on his face.

Under the sign of Zhang Zhenqi, the dark guy went up to the platform and hugged the little boy with tears in his eyes. The two of them stopped at all, and squeezed out of the crowd without looking back. left.

After someone starts, the child who is queuing up to test will be one after another on stage. But after an hour, no one has tested the spirit root. Zhang Guang’s face was a little ugly. Seeing that he was halfway through the test, he still got nothing, and he didn’t report much hope. It seems that Zhang Family held the Measuring Spirit Conference very beautiful, but who knows the bitterness in Zhang Guang’s heart.

As Cultivation Family, one generation is not as good as one generation, and there are fewer and fewer offspring with cultivation aptitude. This is not a good sign, it is obviously a weakening of the cultivation bloodline.

Zhang Family has no choice but to come up with a method, which is also a common method for many Cultivation families. It is to find a child with a spirit root in a mortal family, and accept it as a son to expand the family and increase the number of Immortal Cultivators in the family. , Deformation strengthens family strength.

One hundred years ago, Zhang Family patriarch spent thousands of low-level Spirit Stones to buy this Grade 2 low-level auxiliary Magical Artifact.

This Grade 2 low-level test spirit can only detect whether the tester is carrying a spirit root. As for the quality of the spirit root, it cannot be measured. Magical Artifact with the same effect as this, as well as the Grade 3 Intermediate Magical Artifact. Not only can you detect whether you are carrying a spirit root, but you can also detect the specific attribute of the spirit root, but the price is too expensive.

The thousand low-level Spirit Stones that purchased the Spirit Orbs are not a small amount for the down-and-out Zhang Family. But for the future of the family, Substitute Patriarch resolutely took out this Spirit Stone.

Since then, more than 20 Spirit Stones have been consumed every year to hold the Measuring Spirit Conference. In the past 100 years, Zhang Family has consumed more than 2,000 low-level Spirit Stones in order to hold the Measuring Spirit Conference. It can be seen how much the Zhang Family has spent.

But mortals who carry spirit roots are very rare, and ten thousand li are kept. Whether an Immortal Cultivator with a spirit root can be tested depends on God’s will.

At the beginning of the Measuring Spirit Conference, a child with spirit root was found every few years. In recent years, Zhang Family has been suffering from bad luck. For more than 20 years, no child with spirit root has been detected.

The descendants of the family with cultivation aptitude have also decreased. This makes Zhang Guang, the patriarch, anxious, and the strength of Zhang Family has declined to an unprecedented level. If this continues, Zhang Family may become a mortal in a hundred years, and lose the reputation of Cultivation Family. This is the result that Zhang Family people least want to see.
