The next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Jiang Yun couldn't wait to get up and wash up. Perhaps it was a special day, and the servants in the courtyard were much more hurried than usual.
"Aunt Mei, I remember that my mother left seclusion the day before yesterday. Why didn't I see her? Won't she accompany me for the spiritual root test today?" Jiang Yun, who was eating breakfast, asked the housekeeper standing by.
Aunt Mei is the housekeeper. According to her mother, Aunt Mei has been her maid since she was a child, and later came to the Jiang family as a dowry.
"Master, the mistress said that you should go directly to the soul-detecting platform, and she also said that you will know when you get there." The housekeeper replied meticulously.
"Mother is always like this, she only speaks half of her words." Jiang Yun muttered.
After breakfast, he took the housekeeper out and went out. Along the way, I met many parents with their children walking in the same direction.
After hundreds of years of development, the Qingyu Jiang family has a population of hundreds of thousands.
However, most of the clan members can only live in a dozen small towns and hundreds of villages outside Qingyu Mountain. Only immortal cultivators and their descendants within three generations can live in the clan area.
Even though there are thousands of Jiang family members living in this clan. All children who are 5 years old or older in the clan will take the test today. As for the children in outlying villages and towns, it is said that family cultivators will go to the villages and towns for testing.
Soon Jiang Yun arrived at a wide venue. Looking around, there were about seventy or eighty children. Under the guidance of the waiter, the children stood together. The parents walked to the side.
Ignoring the chirping children of the same age nearby, Jiang Yun began to look around and found a round stone platform ten meters away in front of him, with three adult-sized fist-sized beads floating in the air.
"This should be the spirit-testing bead mentioned in the book. According to the book, this object is worth a lot of money. The value of one is comparable to the best magic weapon. Only cultivating families and cultivating sects will always keep this object." Jiang Yun thought in his heart. road.
"Hum~~~" At this moment, a strange sound came from far and near.
The children looked towards the place where the sound came from. A huge dark green strange snake flew from a distance, and then flew over the children, blocking the sunlight and forming a large shadow.
The children exclaimed loudly, and many cried loudly. Jiang Yun also saw a child next to him who was unresponsive, but upon closer inspection, he found that his eyes were dull and his pants were wet.
The giant snake slowly fell to the open space next to the spirit-measuring bead. When the huge figure landed, Jiang Yun clearly felt the ground shake slightly.
Jiang Yun observed carefully and visually determined that the thickest part of the giant snake's body was nearly two meters in diameter and more than forty meters long.
There was a pair of claws on the front of its body, a silver horn on its head, and its eyes... Jiang Yun found that the strange snake's eyes seemed to be smiling.
Just when Jiang Yun had mixed feelings in his heart. Two men and two women, a total of four people wearing Taoist robes jumped from the giant snake, and then slowly fell to the ground.
One of the middle-aged men wearing a dark Taoist robe, with his left hand behind his back, walked to the front of the four people and said loudly:
"Dear clan members, it's time for the annual spiritual root test again. Most of the people present should know me, Jiang Shanyuan, as the head of the Jiang family. Now let's start the spiritual root test directly."
The last sentence was said to the three monks behind him.
"As ordered." The three people behind the Jiang family responded quickly. Only then did Jiang Yun realize that one of them was his mother, but she was wearing a veil, and her attention was on the giant snake just now, so she didn't notice it immediately.
The three of them each walked to a spirit-measuring bead and made a seal with both hands. For a moment, the spirit-measuring bead emitted a faint white light. Then, with one hand, the spirit-measuring bead flew to a height of two meters and stopped moving.
At this time, the head of the Jiang family continued:
"Everyone stands in three rows and tests one by one. Standing under the spirit test beads, there is no need to be afraid or nervous."
The children soon stood in three rows, and Jiang Yun naturally stood in his mother's row.
I also saw my mother wink at me playfully. Jiang Yun looked indifferent and ignored her.
A boy stood under the spirit-measuring bead. His mother waved with one hand, and the spirit bead released a burst of white light onto the boy, but there was no reaction from the spirit bead.
The mother shook her head and shouted: "Next one."
The boy held back his face that was about to cry and walked aside. When I walked to my parents, I finally couldn't help crying. The family is very disappointed.
After a while, there was a commotion from the crowd. Jiang Yun took a look and saw a red-green light emitting from the spirit bead on the head of a little girl.
"Two spiritual roots of fire and wood, excellent qualifications!" The immortal cultivator next to him said loudly, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Okay, okay! Little girl, come and stand next to me." The head of the Jiang family was very happy. He quickly said:
He remembered that in last year's test, a total of more than 20 children in the clan and outlying towns were found to have spiritual roots, and most of them were tested in the clan.
Because if one parent is a monk, then there is a 50% chance that the child will have spiritual roots. If both parents are monks, then there is an 80% chance that the child will have spiritual roots.
But among the more than 20 children last year, only a few had three spiritual roots. A double spiritual root was detected at the beginning of this year. It seems that I am very lucky this year.
The little girl happily ran to the patriarch. All smiles. A couple outside the venue cried with joy. They should be the little girl's parents.
After more than half of the people queued up, another three spiritual roots and five four spiritual roots appeared.
According to the description in the book, the quality of spiritual roots is determined by the number of spiritual root attributes. Common attributes are the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The one with a single attribute is the Heavenly Spiritual Root, which has the best talent, followed by the Double Spiritual Root with two attributes, then the Three Spiritual Root, the Four Spiritual Root, and the worst is the Five Spiritual Root, which has all five elements and can use all five element spells, but The speed of practice is very slow. Its cultivation speed may not even be one-tenth that of Tianlinggen.
There are also some mutated spiritual roots, such as ice spiritual roots, thunder spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots, etc.
The cultivation speed of the mutated spiritual root is second only to the heavenly spiritual root, and the power of the skills and spells cultivated with the corresponding attributes is amazing.
Jiang Yun was thinking about it, and soon it was Jiang Yun's turn. Mother gave Jiang Yun a cheering look, waved her hand, and under a white light, three, four, and finally five colors appeared in the spirit bead.
"The five spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are qualified." When the mother saw the five colors, she sighed inaudibly, and then said loudly.
Jiang Yun's face looked strange when he saw it was Wulinggen. He didn't know whether he was sad or happy.
Because in the vague memory, mortals set whether the five-attribute spiritual root helps break through the divine transformation stage or the virtual refining stage. I can’t remember the specific reason. However, it is too far away to consider these things now, because the speed of cultivating the Five Spiritual Roots in the early stage is very slow.
The cultivation realm of immortal cultivators is divided into Qi training stage, foundation building stage, elixir formation stage, Nascent Soul stage and spirit transformation stage. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan. However, if there is no special opportunity, the five spiritual root monks can basically stop at the Qi training period and eventually reach the stage of recoil.
But Jiang Yun understands that qualifications are only part of cultivating immortality. He will not complain, but will only move forward.
Seeing his mother's slightly worried eyes, Jiang Yun smiled heartily at her, and then stood next to the patriarch with the children who had previously detected their spiritual roots. There was no sad expression on his face.
Mother felt a little relieved when she saw this. Turn your head and continue testing.
The clan leader nodded slightly when he saw Jiang Yun's performance.
