Everyone, between the ages of eighteen and twenty, performs his or her own rite of passage at the right time.
Ordinary people, generally only have a few opportunities to hold a coming-of-age ceremony in their life, and the coming-of-age ceremony is very simple, eat a hearty meal, invite relatives and friends to bless it, it is a ceremony.
However, for the extended family, due to the large population of the extended family, a coming-of-age ceremony is held almost once a year, and it will be held with unprecedented pomp, not only must all members of the family attend, but even invite people from all walks of life to come to watch the ceremony, in order to highlight the birth of a new generation of talents in the family.
The coming-of-age ceremony of each big family will become the focus of all parties, and through the coming-of-age ceremony, it can be seen whether the family's development in the next ten years has potential.
Therefore, force has become an important manifestation of the coming-of-age ceremony of the extended family.
At the rite of passage, all members of the clan who have reached the age must show their strength in order to gain status in the clan.
The coming-of-age ceremony of the Qin family has attracted the attention of all forces a long time ago.
On the coming-of-age day, the street outside Qin's house was full of traffic, and a wave of crowds poured into Qin's house.
These are the children of all branches of the Qin family, and they all rushed back on this day.
The Qin family has stood in the Northern Xuancheng for hundreds of years, and there are countless branches and disciples, like the branches of a big tree, all over the place.
Family rules stipulate that the children of each branch who perform well in the coming-of-age ceremony can be promoted exceptionally and receive the key training of the family.
This is the biggest opportunity for the branch to leap into the dragon gate, and the perfect opportunity to become famous!
The square, which is large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, is divided into four areas, and a high platform is erected in the east, on which dozens of chairs are placed, which is the main square seat, and rows of wooden chairs are also placed on the left side of the square, which are branch seats.
On the right, a tarpaulin is erected, and under the canopy is a guest seat.
There was a crowd in the middle of the square, all of whom had green faces and a childish spirit that had not yet been taken off, and they were all people who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony this time.
At this time, Qin Fei was still desperately alchemizing......
"Damn! it's about to start in half an hour!" Qin Fei looked a little anxious, the coming-of-age ceremony was about to start, and the Sanpindan had not yet been refined.
Although he took the Second Rank Pill and could defeat most of his fellow clansmen, his target was Qin Wei, and for Guo Xue, he couldn't give up.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, calm down to be able to refine the elixir, how can you be so flustered?" Xuan Ling'er swayed her legs on the side, and said heartlessly.
Qin Fei found that he couldn't communicate with her at all, and she didn't understand her worries at all.
"Where is Qin Fei?" Qin Wei's gaze swept through the crowd, and he didn't see Qin Fei's figure.
"Wei Shao, that guy must be scared, so he didn't dare to come!" said the fat servant with a smile.
"If you don't come, forget it, anyway, Lao Tzu also takes him in his eyes, have you all inquired?" Qin Wei said lightly.
"Wei Shao, I have already inquired, among the people who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony this time, there are a total of four guys who have reached the third level of the Initial Martial Realm, as long as you defeat them, this number one must definitely be you!" the thin servant said with a flattering smile.
"Hmph! Those branch disciples, even if they have reached the third level of the Initial Martial Realm, they are just a pile of waste, Lao Tzu has won the first place, but it's a pity, Qin Fei's guy didn't dare to come to the battle, Lao Tzu has one less chance to teach him a lesson!" Qin Wei said with a disdainful expression.
"Wei Shao, isn't it easy to teach him a lesson? After you win the first place and gain the attention of the family, will it not be as easy as getting him to get a dog?" the fat servant patted his ass.
"Hehe, that's right, we don't care about him, the ceremony is about to start!" Qin Wei looked at the rostrum with smug eyes, the big names in the family were already sitting on it, the left side was also full of those managers of the branch, and the guest seats on the right were also full, and the big people in the city had arrived.
"Grandpa, Brother Fei hasn't arrived yet, is it really about to start?" As Qin Haotian's favorite Qin Shuangshuang, she also had a seat on the rostrum, and when she saw that her grandfather was about to get up and announce the start of the ceremony, she said anxiously.
"Shuangshuang, although Fei'er has resumed his martial arts, but after all, his strength is too low, it is okay if he doesn't come, it is not too late to wait for next year's coming-of-age ceremony to participate!" Qin Haotian said with a smile.
Clansmen between the ages of eighteen and twenty can participate in the annual coming-of-age ceremony, so it is completely okay for Qin Fei to participate next year.
Qin Shuangshuang didn't think so, she heard the bet between Qin Fei and Qin Wei in the square the day before yesterday, she heard it clearly, if Qin Fei really didn't come, I'm afraid it would be difficult to raise his head in the future, according to Qin Wei's temperament, I'm afraid he wouldn't let him go easily.
But Grandpa is right, Fei Ge's strength is too weak after all, even if he insists on coming to the coming-of-age ceremony, the result is already doomed, why should he be bullied?
She was extremely conflicted in her heart, she wanted to see Qin Fei appear in the square to defeat Qin Wei, but also hoped that he would not appear, because defeating Qin Wei was simply a fool's dream.
In the field, all the children were also discussing, discussing why they didn't see Qin Fei.
"Why didn't you see Brother Qin Fei?"
"That's right, I'm here to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, the main thing to do is to do two things, the first is to strive for fame in a fight, and the second is to see our first day Qin Fei, why didn't he appear?"
Hearing the words of the branch disciple, Qin Weiyin smiled and glanced at the fat and thin second servant.
The second servant nodded, walked in front of those who wanted to see Qin Fei, and said loudly: "You are still thinking about Qin Fei's waste, now we are the strongest in the family!"
"That's it, Qin Fei has become a thing of the past, and he can't catch up with our family's prestige now!"
The two servants sang and harmonized, flattening Qin Fei fiercely, and lifting Qin Wei up hard.
Everyone was shocked, especially those who were clamoring to see Qin Fei, and they were even more shocked, and they were busy asking what was going on.
For half a month, the children who were far away from Beixuancheng didn't know what happened to Qin Fei during this time, and thought that he was still the first day before, but when he heard the words of the second servant, his face was full of shock and doubt.
Some of the children who knew the situation immediately answered, and talked about Qin Fei's journey from a genius to a wasted person, and then from a wasted person to a new martial arts cultivator.
"Hey, it's a pity, the genius has now been reduced to a heavy realm, with the same strength as me, I really came for nothing!" A disciple who was only a junior martial arts realm shook his head and sighed, he knew his own ability, the main purpose of coming to the coming-of-age ceremony was to see the genius who was rumored in the family, as long as the ranking of the martial arts competition, he didn't think about it, what could Yizhong do?
"Now that he's fallen to this point, then I have hope!" The eyes of the four Triple Beginner Martial Artists in the branch suddenly lit up, and they felt that they had the hope of winning.
A generation of geniuses, now in the minds of everyone has completely lost its aura,
This is exactly what Qin Wei was happy to see, and he looked at the second servant with appreciation.
The discussion of Qin Fei also happened at the branch seat, these managers are all well-informed, some people shake their heads and sigh at the fall of a generation of geniuses, and some people gloat.
During the guest banquet, Liu Chong and Mo Zhi sat next to each other, although the two families were not in harmony, but in front of everyone, they had to show a happy look.
"Master Liu, I heard that Qin Fei has resumed his martial arts cultivation, do you Liu family have a sense of crisis?" Mo Yi looked at Liu Chongdao with a smile.
"Hmph! A boy who has gained a false reputation, even if he resumes his martial arts, what if he recovers his martial arts? Didn't the Mo family master hear it? He is only a beginner in the martial arts realm now, and he is already far behind, even if he was a genius before, what can he do now? I can't catch up with others, my Liu family's stronger junjie grabs a lot of it, why be afraid?" Liu Chong said in a weird way, squinting at Mo Yi, and sneered, " It's your Mo family that should have a sense of crisis, if I'm not mistaken, someone in the Mo family used to have a feud with Qin Fei, and now that he has resumed martial arts, maybe he will go to the Mo family for trouble in the future!"
"Looking for trouble with my Mo family, no one in this city has such a big guts!" Mo Yi smiled.
Liu Chong glared, snorted coldly and turned his face away, Mo Chong always likes to be sarcastic in secret, this sentence is equivalent to bringing the Liu family in, Liu Chong knows that he is not Mo Yi's verbal opponent, he wants to change places and change places, he spoke directly with his fists, too lazy to waste saliva with him here.
"Hehe, don't misunderstand the head of the Liu family, I didn't say that your Liu family is a dog! I'm just making an analogy, then Qin Fei half a month ago, maybe the Mo family was worried that the Qin family would have a peerless heaven that would completely suppress our two families, but God has eyes, so that he wasted half a month, and he has to re-cultivate again, the gap has been widened far away, unless he has the aid of the pill, he will never be able to catch up, but the only chance for the Qin family to get the pill was obtained by the head of the Liu family, and Qin Fei has no hope! By the way, the head of the Liu family, how is your eldest grandson? Has there been a breakthrough in cultivation?" Mo Zhi said with a smile.
"Hmph, of course, he has been in the Beginner Martial Realm for almost two years, and he is still one step away from breaking through to the sixth level, and he is ready to cooperate with the pill in these two days, so that he can break through to the sixth level in one go. Liu Chong said with a smile, and the mung bean eyes were so happy that they were about to squeeze into a slit.
Chuwu Yipindan, although it is the lowest grade, but the Xuanqi contained in the Dan is also not to be underestimated, with the help of the pill, no matter how heavy the Chuwu Realm is, it can provide some help, but it is not as obvious as the corresponding grade, but it can also allow the martial artist to save some time for cultivation.
Mo Yi smiled and said: "Hehe, congratulations, our family Mo Rang is about to break through the sixfold, speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be a sixfold master among the third-generation children of the Qin family, and the performance of these juniors at this coming-of-age ceremony, in my opinion, is just a child's play!"
