The eight children who were riding the spirit boat for the first time gathered together chattering and excitedly stood on the spirit boat and looked down.
Just now, they were sad about leaving their parents and relatives. Looking at the scenery and the vast world around the spirit ship, they quickly put their sad emotions behind and became more determined to join Tianyun Sect and cultivate immortality.
Even if they may not achieve much in their cultivation because of their qualifications, it is not bad to spend their whole life in such a colorful world of cultivation.
When the spirit boat sailed to a fishing village near the sea, Zhuzhu drove the spirit boat to a stop. Her consciousness scanned below and saw several children playing on the beach, and they were all between five and ten years old.
Although the chance of these mortal descendants having spiritual roots was very small, Zhuzhu still wanted to give it a try and landed the spirit ship on a deserted beach nearby, and then asked the eight children on the ship to practice on their own, because she had already After teaching them the Qi Jue, they stepped off the spirit ship.
Children who were playing on the beach not far away were stunned when they saw a large ship falling from the sky.
In their understanding, big ships sail in the water. When will big ships be able to fly into the sky?
But when they saw Zhuzhu coming off the spiritual boat, they were stunned again.
Even though the concept of beauty and ugliness is not strong in the eyes of children, they still couldn't help but sigh that the sister who stepped off the boat was so beautiful, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Children will feel close to or curious about beautiful people when they see them. Without waiting for Zhuzhu to say anything, they all ran to Zhuzhu with a "clatter" and surrounded her to ask questions:
"Is my sister a fairy in the sky?"
Before Zhuzhu could shake her head, a little girl with slightly dark skin but beautiful eyes said, "I know, my sister must be the Goddess of Poseidon."
She had seen the statue of the Poseidon. Although it was not as beautiful as the sister in front of her, it was still very beautiful.
"I am not some Poseidon Queen." Zhuzhu smiled, "I am an immortal cultivator, also known as a monk."
"What is a cultivator?" The children's curiosity became even stronger.
Zhuzhu patiently explained it to them in detail, then took out the stone plate for testing spiritual roots and put it in front of her: "You can put your hands up one by one and test it again. Regardless of whether you pass or fail, my sister will give you jelly beans to eat."
She suddenly felt like a big bad wolf who abducted children. However, even if some of these children had spiritual roots, she would not take them away privately. She would communicate with their parents first and wait for their consent before taking them away.
Now it's just a test. If they don't have spiritual roots, she doesn't have to talk to the parents about it.
"I'll go first!"
One of the tallest boys stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and placed it on the stone plate. However, the stone plate did not react at all, unlike the beautiful sister who said it would become brighter.
"Sister, is this stone broken?" He didn't think that the beautiful sister was lying to them, but he thought that this thing might be broken.
Zhuzhu took out a slightly sweet first-grade body-enhancing pill and handed it to him. The silly child didn't want to think that it was because he had no spiritual roots, but instead suspected that her thing was broken.
But the children in these fishing villages are really simple and cute.
Because he had no spiritual roots, Zhuzhu did not dare to give him more than a first-grade elixir. Not only would it not be beneficial to his body, but it would also put him in danger of exploding to death.
The first-grade elixir can just improve part of their physique, allowing them to grow healthier without causing any side effects on the body due to inability to absorb it.
After receiving the "jelly beans" given by the beautiful sister, the boy who was the first to test instantly forgot what had just happened. He happily took them with both hands and put them in his mouth. He happily stood aside and tasted them slowly.
Seeing that Dahu had gotten the jelly beans, the second child couldn't wait to step forward and put his palm on the stone plate. However, he still didn't light up the stone plate, but he also got a "jelly bean".
Next is the third, fourth...
None of the first few children had spiritual roots. Originally, Zhuzhu had given up hope, but she still let the remaining children complete the test one by one.
Until the fifth little girl, who thought Zhuzhu was the goddess of the sea, stepped forward and put her hand into the stone plate. The stone plate, which had never been lit up before, suddenly lit up with two colors of light.
Among them, the white one is brighter. It is on the seventh scale of the attribute area where it is located, that is, the spiritual root has seven levels of attribute purity. The other one is earth color, which is on the fifth level of the attribute scale, which is the spiritual root. There are five levels of purity.
Zhuzhu was very happy to see this scene. She did not expect that this female doll turned out to have water and earth spiritual roots. The purity of the water spiritual roots was quite good. Her qualifications were considered to be above average in the sect. She had great hope of entering the inner sect in the future.
"Beautiful sister, am I in trouble?"
Seeing Zhuzhu staring at the stone plate, the girl named Xiaoyu was so frightened that she hurriedly put away her palms. Why was she the only one who put her hand on the stone plate and the stone plate lit up? Could it be that she had the qualifications to become an immortal?
Thinking of this little fish, he looked at Zhuzhu with some expectancy.
"No, you're great!" Zhuzhu's heart softened when she saw her bright eyes. She couldn't help but gently stroked the top of her head. This time she stopped here and it turned out that she was right. She could find it in a mortal village. It is really not easy to become a monk with two spiritual roots.
However, the test still had to continue. The remaining three children also stepped forward and took the test again, but none of them lit up the stone plate like the little fish.
At this time, they also vaguely knew that among them, only Xiaoyu had spiritual roots. Xiaoyu was very likely to become an immortal cultivator like his beautiful sister in the future. They were happy for her but also disappointed because he was not the special one.
"What's your name?" Zhuzhu asked the little girl.
"Back to my pretty sister, my name is Zhuang Xiaoyu, you can call me Xiaoyu."
He was the first child to be asked for his name by his beautiful sister, and the only one to light up the stone plate. Xiaoyu was both a little proud and a little happy.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to go to Tianyun Sect to practice with your sister?" Zhuzhu asked, "Once you join the sect, you may not be able to see your parents in the next few years or even ten or twenty years."
"Then can my parents visit me?" Xiaoyu was indeed a little reluctant and panicked when he heard that he would be away from his parents for so long.
"No, unless you practice hard and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible."
There is gain only if you give up. Nothing is perfect in the world. Even those children of hidden families are mostly forced to move out of their parents' homes after their spiritual roots are detected. They are taught and cultivated by the family uniformly. It is difficult for them not to reach the foundation building stage. Meet my parents.
The purpose is to allow them to settle down and practice well when they first enter the Tao.
Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded to express his willingness: "Can I say goodbye to my parents before leaving?"
She also couldn't bear to part with these little friends.
"Of course, my sister also needs your parents' permission before she can take you away."
"My mother is at home, but my father went to sea with his uncle and may come back in two or three days."
Xiaoyu looked a little sad, maybe she couldn't wait to say goodbye to the father who loved her the most.
Zhuzhu could see what Xiaoyu was thinking: "Don't worry, we can wait for your father to come back."
"Sister, you are so kind!" Xiaoyu became happy again.
Zhuzhu told Xiaoyu's mother about this matter. At first, her mother didn't believe Zhuzhu, thinking that Zhuzhu was a human trafficker. However, after seeing that Zhuzhu could stimulate the growth of flowers and plants in the yard and condense ice cubes, she decided to She finally believed her and was willing to let her daughter cultivate immortality under her guidance.
After showing some magic skills, Zhuzhu was convinced by Xiaoyu's mother and helplessly wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead.
Recruiting disciples is not an easy job.
Fortunately, he was good-looking and had an approachable personality. If this fellow disciple, who was aloof or fierce, had said that he wanted to bring his children to practice immortality, he would have been chased away with a big broom.
"By the way, Mrs. Zhuang, are there any other children in your village?"
Since we have to wait here for three days, we might as well test all the children in the village in case something slips through the net.
Fortunately, she had given each of the eight children on the boat a bottle of Bigu Pill before, so they could not starve for the past three days.
"Yes, yes, our village is quite big. There are more than a hundred children between the ages of five and ten."
Ever since she was convinced that Zhuzhu was a cultivator of immortality, Xiaoyu Niang, Mrs. Zhuang, treated Zhuzhu with great respect, "Do you want to see if they are qualified to cultivate immortality?"
She had already heard from Xiaoyu that not everyone could be accepted by the Immortal Goddess, and she was the only one among the eight or nine children who was qualified to become an Immortal.
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhuang became even more convinced that her daughter should follow the goddess to cultivate immortality, not for any other reason, but because her daughter’s qualifications for cultivating immortality, which may only be available to a very small number of people, should not be wasted. One day, she might be as powerful as the goddess and live a happier life. , much better than staying in this fishing village all your life.
"Yes, I wonder where the village chief's home is? I want to ask him to persuade families to bring their children for testing."
In Zhuzhu's view, this place can produce Xiaoyu with a double spiritual root, and there may be other children with spiritual roots. Anyway, they are here, so they still do this with the concept of not missing anyone.
"No, no need. Just wait patiently, Immortal. I'll go find the village chief and his family. My family has a good relationship with the village chief's family."
Mrs. Zhuang happily took over the matter and walked to the village chief's house.
Within an hour, Zhuzhu's consciousness saw the scene of the village chief and Zhuang's wife going from door to door, calling.
It took them another hour to bring all the children in the village who met Zhuzhu's required age to Zhuang's wife's yard.
This Mrs. Zhuang was so warm-hearted that she actually made the village chief and the people in the village believe her words.
This also shows that the people in this village are very simple and kind.
"Immortal, these are the remaining children who meet the requirements, almost more than one hundred and ten." Sister-in-law Zhuang stepped forward and said respectfully to Zhuzhu.
"Thanks for your hard work."
In order to express her gratitude to Mrs. Zhuang and the village chief, Zhuzhu specially took out two bottles of first-grade body-enhancing pills and gave them to them. "These are some body-enhancing pills that mortals can also take. They also have some effects on longevity."
"Thank you, Immortal!"
Mrs. Zhuang excitedly took one of the bottles of elixir and signaled to the village chief to pick it up quickly. The immortal gift must be a miraculous elixir.
The reason why the village chief listened to Zhuang's sister-in-law and persuaded other family members to take the children out was that when he was young, he accidentally saw an immortal with a sword flying from the sky, so when Zhuang's wife said that an immortal came to the village , In addition, the grandson who came home after playing also said that he saw the immortal descending from the sky with a big boat, so he believed it.
He is also willing to let the children in the village learn immortal magic.
But he didn't expect that the immortal that Zhuang's wife spoke of would be such a young girl. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, which was far from the image of the immortal with fair hair and childish face that he imagined.
That's why he hesitated, fearing that Mrs. Zhuang would be deceived: "Is this little girl really an immortal?"
Zhuzhu naturally guessed why the village chief was a little suspicious of her after seeing her. In fact, she didn't look like the very fairy-like old man with a beautiful beard they thought of, but she looked a little childish.
"I'm not a fairy."
Sure enough, the village chief suddenly looked wary. He was about to ask Zhuzhu why he was playing tricks on them, but Zhuzhu continued to say: "I am an immortal cultivator, also known as a monk. A monk can only cultivate to the Mahayana stage and survive the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder to ascend to the immortal world. , to become an immortal, I am still in the golden elixir stage."
In other words, this girl may still become an immortal in the future.
The village chief was still dubious, but after thinking about the words of his grandson and Zhuang's wife, he was finally willing to believe Zhuzhu for once.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now."
Zhuzhu took out the stone plate and asked the more than a hundred children to come forward one by one.
Only when more than forty people were examined did a child with four spiritual roots appear, and none of the remaining children had spiritual roots.
This time the chance was even smaller, but Zhuzhu was not surprised at all, and was even prepared for the possibility that everyone would make the trip in vain.
However, a child with four spiritual roots and Xiaoyu, a child with two spiritual roots, was found, so the trip to the fishing village was still worth it.
This time, Zhuzhu rewarded all the villagers who brought their children a silver ingot to each family.
Although their children did not have the qualifications to become immortals, these villagers went home happily after a trip and a considerable silver ingot was obtained for free.
Zhuzhu also gave a bag of gold leaves to each of Zhuang's wife's family and the family whose four spiritual roots were detected.
Just as everyone was leaving happily, suddenly a young man who looked to be about ten years old, but was skinny, yellow and dirty came over. Then he walked up to Zhuzhu and bent down to salute:
"Immortal, can you let me test it?"
"You are thirteen years old."
Zhuzhu's spiritual consciousness has long noticed this young man. From the beginning of the test, he has been squatting under the willow tree opposite Zhuang's small courtyard and looking here.
Although the boy looked about ten years old based on his height, Zhuzhu knew from his bone age that he was already thirteen years old. Considering his age, it was a bit late to start his career at this time.
"If I don't have the qualifications to become an immortal, I will never bother with the immortals again. If I have the qualifications to become an immortal, as long as the immortals are willing to let me step on the path, I am willing to obey the immortals for the rest of my life."
The young man didn't want to give up, his expression was a bit pleading, but also a bit determined.
"Shui Sheng, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass the immortal?"
Although Sister-in-law Zhuang pities Shuisheng, who grew up eating a lot of food from his parents, she is still afraid that his behavior will make Zhuzhu angry.
What if the immortal gets angry and refuses to accept any of them?
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhuzhu admired the perseverance in the young man's eyes and was willing to give him a chance, so she took out the stone plate and put it in front of him.
"Thank you, Immortal!"
The young man stepped forward excitedly and stretched out his hand towards the stone plate...
