"Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, come out soon to participate in the spiritual root testing ceremony!"
"Who! You're not allowed to sleep so early in the morning. I'm still growing. I'll sleep a little longer." Ye Hong muttered in confusion.
Ye Xing saw Hu Zi coming to Ye Hong to attend the ceremony, and hurriedly asked Ying'er to call Hong'er, "I can't afford it at this point. This kid must have forgotten what day it is today."
After a while, Ye Hong came out holding his cheek and muttering, "Why did you wake me up and pinch my face?"
"It's not because you look so cute when you sleep. Besides, I'm your sister. What's wrong with pinching your face? Hurry up, the tigers are here to call you." Nightingale glared at Ye Hong.
Hu Zi saw Ye Hong coming and hugged him again. Ye Hong suddenly woke up and lost all sleepiness.
"Xiao Hong, hurry up, or you won't be able to make it in time to take the spiritual root test." He took Ye Hong's hand and ran towards the ceremony.
Ye Hong's father, Ye Xing, saw the two children running very fast. He was afraid that there would be too many people and he would not be able to find them, so he hurriedly shouted to stop.
"You two, don't run too fast. Follow me when you get there."
Then the group of people walked towards the ceremony. On the way, I met many people who were also going to attend the ceremony.
A group of people arrived at the ceremony. The ceremony had not officially started yet, and people were arriving on both sides of the square one after another.
Gradually, more and more people gathered, and they kept pouring in from all around. Except for one seat on the high platform, it was still empty, and the rest were full of people.
It can be seen that the high platform is full of officials from the empire. They should be the cultivators who are here to preside over this test ceremony.
at this time. Suddenly, the wind roared, and the sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of swords. A figure appeared in the sky above the square while wielding a sword. This person was dressed in green clothes with wind-winged sword patterns embroidered on them.
Ye Hong's eyes widened when he saw this man from the Sword Wing Immortal Sect walking with a sword. Isn't this what he has always dreamed of cultivating as an immortal? He is so handsome. He will be excited just thinking about taking a girl for a ride like this in the future~~~ There is infinite YY in my mind.
The man sitting in the middle of the high platform looked at the person coming from above with disdainful eyes, "It turns out that the people from the Sword Wing Immortal Sect have arrived. They act cool like this every time they come, and they don't show up in other ways. I'm tired of seeing them."
The man in green clothes was not angry when he heard this voice and said calmly
"It's a long way from the Immortal Sect to this place. As soon as I left the Guan family, my master asked me to come to Xihai City to recruit disciples. Only in this way can I catch up with my sword. I'm rude here. Don't blame me."
When the person sitting next to the man saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and announced.
"The time has come, the ceremony begins!"
"As always, the process is ~~~~~~"
He sputtered a bunch of words of thanks for this and that, and then someone else spoke again. They were all useless words. Ye Hong didn't bother to listen, just when he was drowsy.
"Next, conduct the spiritual root test and open the test bench."
I saw the man in the middle of the high platform and the man in green from the Sword Wing Immortal Sect each took out a piece of glowing jade, flew it to the stone platform in the center of the square, and embedded it in it. Then there was a tremor in the square, and instantly there were many people on the ground. Nine stone pillars were produced.
"Those who pass the test can enter the empire and various sects to study and practice. Those who fail do not need to be discouraged. They can take the empire's literature test three years later and enter the Imperial Academy of Literature for further study."
"Those who pass the test will go to the qualified area of the square to wait after the test, and those who fail will go to the unqualified area next to the square to wait. After all tests are completed, proceed to the next matter."
"The child whose name is read next goes to the test stone pillar and touches it with his hand to test his spiritual root."
"Wang Er"
"dog egg"
"Zhang San"
~~~~~
Ye Hong looked at the children who came up to test. When his palms touched the stone pillars, some of them turned cyan, some turned light cyan, and some were dim and unresponsive.
"Li Qing, cyan, middle-grade wind attribute spiritual root, qualified"
"Wang Wu, light blue, low-grade wind attribute spiritual root, unqualified"
"Zhao Wuneng, no attributes, unqualified"
"Zheng Bai, has no attributes and is unqualified"
"Li Yu, no attributes, unqualified"
"Liu Huiqin, lavender, low-grade thunder attribute spiritual root, unqualified"
"Wu Erniu, no attributes, unqualified"
······
Looking at the reactions on the stone pillars and the officials' records, Ye Hong understood that cyan is the attribute of wind, purple is the attribute of thunder, white is the attribute of light, gold is metallic, green is the attribute of wood, blue is the attribute of water, and red is the attribute of fire. , Yellow is the earth attribute.
The depth of the color should represent the grade of the spiritual root. The darker the color, the higher the grade.
It seems that one has to reach the middle-grade spiritual root to be qualified, Ye Hong thought silently in his heart.
"Luo Feng, dark green, top grade wind attribute spiritual root, qualified"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Wow! The high-grade wind spirit root is Luo Feng from the Luo family. Now the Luo family is very proud and has made a comeback. I don't know if my son, the second son, will also be able to produce a high-grade spirit root soon."
"As for you, even low-grade spiritual roots look up to you, hahaha!"
The high-grade wind spirit root that appeared on the high platform also attracted a lot of attention.
"This year is not bad. A high-grade wind spirit root came out so quickly, which is quite impressive." A charming woman on the high platform glanced in the direction of the stone pillar.
After a brief commotion, the test continued, and Ye Hong was excitedly waiting for when his name would be read out.
At this time, a little bald man next to him suddenly bumped into Ye Hong, startling Ye Hong.
"Hey~ boy, I think you have a kind face, you must be the chosen one. What's your name? Let's make friends."
Ye Hong thought to himself, "I have been keeping a low profile since others found out that I am the chosen one so quickly."
He immediately looked at the little bald head happily, "Hahaha! I didn't expect you to see this. My name is Ye Hong, what's your name?"
The little bald man was very happy to see someone finally taking care of him.
"Grandpa said that I had no hair since I was a child, so he called me Guangguang. You can also call me Guangguang. If your name is Ye Hong, then I will call you Honghong from now on. We will be friends."
Ye Hong was also filled with black streaks at the sudden word "Hong Hong"... But they became friends. The world of a child is so simple.
"Guangguang, Guangguang, don't run around, grandpa can't even find you, cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough" With.
"Guangguang, is your grandfather looking for you? I seem to hear someone calling your name." Ye Hong glanced at the crowd and said.
Guangguang also looked back at the sea of people behind her, "Probably, I'll go find my grandpa first and tell him I'm here. I can't keep grandpa waiting. I'll come over to play with you later."
As he said that, he turned into the crowd and disappeared without a trace, like a loach. Ye Hong smiled and looked at the stone pillars in the square again.
Ye Hong, who was looking at the stone pillar carefully, suddenly discovered that something was wrong with one of the stone pillars. If you didn't observe carefully, you might not be able to detect this subtle change.
Because the test stone pillar was originally dark and colorless, the change was not obvious. In Ye Hong's sight, he felt that this stone pillar seemed to be darker than the other stone pillars. If the original stone pillar was black, it was now ink color.
Uh...Although they are all black.
"He Miaomiao has no attributes and is unqualified."
Didn’t the recording officials and the immortals on the high platform notice it? Ye Hong wondered in his heart
Looking at He Miaomiao walking off the stage to the unqualified area, Ye Hong saw a little loss in the eyes of the little girl, but she was not crying like most girls.
After testing many more people, Ye Hong never noticed the changes in the stone pillars that had just occurred.
Ye Hong thought to himself, "Maybe I was just blinded."
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light attracted everyone's attention and caused an uproar on the high platform.
"This, this, this... what kind of spiritual root is this? I have never seen such a dazzling golden light." The crowd screamed in shock.
The enchanting woman on the high platform looked at the golden light in surprise, and then said with regret, "It's a pity that it's a metallic spiritual root."
The man in green from the Sword Wing Immortal Sect also felt helpless.
The man sitting in the middle on the high platform suddenly jumped out. Yes, he jumped, not flew. Then he rushed to the man who made the test stone pillar glow golden.
"I have accepted this disciple, and none of you can steal it!"
"I said Ding Manzi, why are you excited? Who can compete with you here? We can't teach disciples with this attribute even if we accept them. Come back quickly and don't delay the test." The man who just sat next to Ding Manzi looked at Chong. Ding Manzi said as he went down.
After hearing this, Ding Manzi knew that no one here needed a metallic spiritual root disciple. He looked back at the frightened child in front of him, scratched his head, and then returned to his seat angrily.
The recording official also recovered from the shock.
"Niu Erzhuang, shining golden color, top quality golden spiritual root, qualified"
Ye Hong finally understood what was going on when he heard the recording officer's reading.
However, the name Niu Erzhuang is indeed a bit perfunctory. I don’t know how the parents chose the name. Why should I call him something louder? Names like Niu Bi are very good.
Why! I don't think about it anymore, my name isn't that good either, it's embarrassing and looks like a girl's.
Ye Hong was distracted when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"Honghong, what are you thinking about? Did you see the golden light just now? It was so dazzling. It really blinded your eyes. You can't be blinded again if you encounter it in the future. Do you know how that golden light came out from that stone? ?."
When Ye Hong heard this, he looked at Guang Guang behind him, "I see, Guang Guang, your ideas are really different, but I don't know the principle. And can you call me by my full name? It makes my skin crawl when I hear you call me that." Dropped all over the floor."
Guangguang said with a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't Honghong very good? Guangguang and Honghong, you can tell they are good friends right away. Aren't we friends?"
"What are goosebumps? Can you eat them? Didn't you see anything on the ground?" Guangguang looked for them on the ground seriously.
Ye Hong felt dizzy when he heard this, are you a hundred thousand whys...
Ye Hong looked helpless and looked at Guang Guang, who was covered with goosebumps, "Call it whatever you want..."
Suddenly, Ye Hong was hugged by a bear. "Hahaha! Xiaohong, I finally found you. I thought you were lost. I haven't seen you for a long time."
