Chapter 1: The Scrap
Linglong Continent, here is a world that transforms fighting energy with spiritual power. There are countless large and small countries, wars and disputes between countries, and people are struggling to make a living. However, there are only four most powerful countries, and Chen Guo is one of them.
Whether it is Chen Guo or other countries, the two most promising professions are considered by ordinary people, one of them is a warrior, and the other is a mage.
It's just that the most common on the battlefield are warriors, and mages are extremely rare, and even if there are mages, they will be offered as treasures.
In the Linglong Continent, warriors are divided into nine realms, such as fighters, generals, masters, sects, spirits, kings, emperors, emperors, and emperors, but the vast majority of people don't even know that there is a realm of spirits.
Whether it is a fighter or a fighting emperor, it is divided into one to nine grades. Each spiritual vein opens into a great realm, and a spiritual vein opens a acupoint for a product.
The people on this continent believe that people are divided into nine grades, and the spiritual veins should also be nine, and there are only nine acupuncture points on each spiritual vein at most.
The hierarchy of mages is similar to that of warriors, the entry is called mages, followed by generals, mages, sects, spirits, kings, emperors, emperors, and emperors. Similarly, each realm is divided into nine grades, and as for who is more powerful between the mage and the warrior, it will vary from person to person.
Zhang Mo, a waste son whose spiritual veins were tested as a product, was born in Zhangjiabao Village, Tai'an Town, Yongning County, Changzhou County, Chen State.
Like all ordinary people, Zhang Mo has no background, no family background, his ancestors have been doing farm work for generations, and the biggest hope of the family is to let his children and grandchildren join the army and serve the country, and at the same time be able to get ahead.
But since ancient times, the battlefield has been ruthless, and ten people have gone and one person has returned. How many heroes were buried in the field, and in the end they didn't even return home. Despite this, the ordinary people of Chen still sent their children and grandchildren to the border battlefield year after year.
Because in Chen, there is a rule that teenagers who have reached the age of 14 must join the army and serve in the army, and the time limit is six years. Some teenagers are lucky, and they can go home to have babies and children after six years, so the people of Chen have no objection to military service.
It's just that Zhang Mo is still young, only four years old this year, and he is still just able to remember. This year, he participated in the family spiritual vein test, and the spiritual vein stone was displayed as a white spiritual fire, and the flame was only one inch, so he was recognized as the most ordinary first-grade spiritual vein, that is, the spiritual vein waste in everyone's eyes.
It has been more than half a year since the spiritual pulse test, and to this day, Zhang Mo still clearly remembers the scene of the spiritual pulse test that day.
On that day, the patriarch of Zhangjiabao, who was also his father Zhang Yuan, conducted a spiritual vein test for the children of the family as usual, and children over the age of four came to participate.
Zhangjiabao's spiritual vein stone was placed in the ancestral hall of the family, and after the spiritual vein test time began, the men, women and children of the village gathered in the ancestral hall. Children and teenagers who are to be tested are not absent and they are all standing on one side waiting for the test.
The spirit vein stone is placed in front of the small tower in the ancestral hall, and this stone can emit different colors of fire according to the level of the tester's spiritual vein, and then the length of the flame can determine the level of the tester's spiritual vein.
It's just that Zhangjiabao's spirit vein stone is an ordinary color, so it can't be measured that the tester is a spirit root attribute. Only the big sects have high-level spiritual vein stones, which can accurately measure the attributes of the tester's spiritual root, so it is more directional for the sect to train disciples.
Although Zhangjiabao's spirit vein stone is only the most common color, it can still measure four spirit veins. Each time a vein is opened, the vein stone will emit a different color.
If the Spirit Vein Stone emits white flames, the subject is a Fighter Realm.
If the spirit vein stone emits a green flame, it is the Dou Jiang realm, if it emits a cyan flame, it is the Dou Master realm, and if it emits a blue flame, it is the Dou Zong realm.
Those high-level spirit vein stones can emit more colored flames, such as sending out purple flames for the Dou Spirit Realm, emitting yellow flames for the Dou King Realm, emitting orange flames for the Dou Huang Realm, emitting pink flames for the Douzun Realm, and emitting red flames for the Dou Emperor Realm.
Not only does the Spirit Vein Stone emit flames of different colors, but the flames can continue to extend up to nine inches.
If the white flame is 1 inch, the tester is a fighter, and if the white flame is 9 inches long, the tester is a fighter. Each elevation means that a spiritual vein opens a acupuncture point.
It's just that it is very difficult to open the acupoints on each spiritual vein, so the grade of the spiritual vein has become the criterion for judging the qualification of the spiritual vein.
In fact, the spiritual vein qualification is not immutable, but with hard practice, the spiritual vein qualification will also increase. It's just that the starting point of the spiritual vein level is too low, and the cultivation process will become extremely difficult. In the Linglong Continent, how many people are poor all their lives are not more than fighting generals.
Although the spiritual vein qualification can be changed, many people have not forcibly changed their spiritual vein qualification after the realm has been upgraded.
After reaching the Douzong realm, you can completely rely on your own spiritual vein realm to change your qualifications. By forcibly condensing the spiritual power in the body, the acupoints/paths on the spiritual veins can be forcibly opened. However, in this way, it is very likely that the meridians that have been opened will be damaged, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, it is not advisable to forcibly change the qualification of the spiritual vein, and only after using a special method to change the toughness of the spiritual vein, can the spiritual qualification be changed next.
After Zhang Mo conducted the spiritual vein test, it turned out to be a first-grade fighter, which made him a little speechless, but it was a second-grade spiritual vein, he might feel better.
Standing in front of the Spirit Vein Stone, looking at the inch-long white flames, Zhang Mo had the heart to die, it was too embarrassing. The people in the family looked at him with strange eyes, and some people didn't even shy away from pointing at him.
"The patriarch's youngest son is too weak!"
"That's it!
"Hey, I really doubt he's the patriarch's own son!"
"Well, he does look a little different from the patriarch, could it be the wild seed that the patriarch picked up outside?"
......
Under the strange eyes of others, Zhang Mo let go of the spirit vein stone, and then left silently with his head down, pretending not to hear his father's shouts. He returned to his room, closed the door and saw no one, sitting alone at the head of the bed every day and quietly looking at the beams in a daze. He hated himself for not being angry and disgraced his father.
It's just that he doesn't understand why others are second-grade or third-grade spiritual veins, and he is only first-grade spiritual veins, for him, God is too unfair.
Zhang Mo has two elder brothers, one is named Zhang Qian, the other is Zhang Yue, and the eldest brother Zhang Qian is from the text, but he is a second-grade spiritual vein. And the second brother Zhang Yue is from martial arts, and he has a four-grade spiritual vein.
There seems to be no difference between the first-grade spiritual vein and the fourth-grade spiritual vein, but with the improvement of the spiritual vein realm, the spiritual vein bonus of each product is getting bigger and bigger.
For example, a first-rank fighter may be able to compete with a second-rank or even a third-rank fighter, a first-rank fighter will have some difficulty fighting with a second-rank fighter, a first-rank fighter will have a very difficult time defeating a second-rank fighter, and a first-rank fighter against a second-rank fighter will have no possibility of victory at all. After the fight, it is becoming more and more difficult to win the battle across the first product.
Moreover, the Spirit Vein qualification not only affects the combat power value, but also affects the speed of advancement. The higher the level, the faster and easier it is to progress.
Therefore, in the eyes of many Zhangjiabao people, Zhang Mo's life is over. Even if he Zhang Mo was lucky enough to open other spiritual veins, it would be difficult to become a big weapon in the end.
The news that Zhang Mo was a waste son quickly spread from Zhangjiabao, and all kinds of gossip came to his ears.
His father Zhang Yuan saw that Zhang Mo was still hiding in the room for a month, and was worried that he would not be able to open it, so he asked his wife Li Yueer to comfort the little guy.
"Momo, are you okay? My mother knows that you are unhappy, so she hasn't bothered you before. Now that the spirit vein test has been so long, it's time to let go of all the unhappiness. Where do you want to play? Is it okay for my mother to take you there? Isn't it just a spiritual vein test, what's the big deal? It's really not good, you can still follow the text, there is no hurdle that you can't pass. Standing at the door of Zhang Mo's room, Li Yue'er comforted.
Zhang Mo opened the door and let his mother in.
"Mother, am I particularly useless? My brothers are better than me, although my eldest brother is a second-grade spiritual vein, he likes to be an official, and he will be an official in the future. The second brother likes martial arts, and he is a fourth-grade spiritual vein, and it is not impossible to become a general in the future. As for me, I'm just a waste son of a first-class spiritual vein, and I don't like Congwen, what else do you say I can do?" Zhang Mo looked at his mother, and the injustice in his heart was vented. He's just a kid, and he can't hide his emotions at all.
He hates God for being unfair, why do he treat him like this, if he is a second-grade spiritual vein, he will not be looked down upon in Zhangjiabao.
Li Yue'er comforted: "Silly boy, the spiritual vein grade is just a number, it is not immutable, and it can't affect your life." ”
"Mother told you, Chen Guodang, the general of the dynasty, Lord Lei Xiong, was also a first-grade spiritual vein when he was a child, and after his unremitting efforts, he is now the existence of the Five-Rank Dou Sect. ”
"Mother, what you said is true?" Zhang Mo looked at his mother and asked suspiciously.
Li Yue'er nodded, and affirmed: "Silly boy, why did my mother lie to you? The spiritual vein qualification can be changed, as long as you are willing to work hard and pay, you will definitely be able to become a generation of grandmasters like Lord Lei Xiong in the end." ”
"But mother, I don't want to stay in Zhangjiabao anymore, many people here are bad people, they know to laugh at me and call me a waste. Zhang Mo was still a little sad.
Li Yue'er thought that Zhang Mo was still young and his psychological tolerance was weak, so she said: "Silently, our Xiling territory is far away from Zhangjiabao, if you are not afraid, I can let Tiezhu take you to Xiling to live for a while, how about going home when you are in a good mood?"
"Mother, I'm not afraid, with Uncle Tie taking care of me, I can live a good life in Xiling. Zhang Mo was determined to leave Zhangjiabao, so he said.
Seeing this, Li Yue'er had no choice but to ask Tie Zhu to send Zhang Mo to Xiling with a gift, and the two quietly left the village at lunchtime, so they did not attract the attention of others in Zhangjiabao.
Tiezhu is a long-term worker invited by Zhang Yuan from the town, he abolished a hand because of joining the army in the early years, and then did not go home for some reasons, but begged in the town, Zhang Yuan saw that he was pitiful, and asked him to watch the horses and chop wood for the family. In return, Zhang Yuan provided food, clothing, housing and transportation for Tiezhu, and now he is still an old bachelor in his forties.
Tie Zhu drove the carriage and took Zhang Mo to carry dry food and bedding to Xiling.
Along the way, Zhang Mo was still silent, which made Tie Zhu look uncomfortable. He is a person from the past, thinking back to the year when he joined the army at the age of fourteen, his spiritual vein test was the third order of a fighter. Later, he went to the battlefield, and in a battle, his right arm was cut off by the enemy. After retiring, he has been begging for a living, and later, he was lucky to enter the Zhang family, and Zhang Yuan built an iron arm for him, which did not cause him a lot of inconvenience in his life.
The life of one hand before made Tie Zhu fall into pain for a long time. At this time, he looked at Zhang Mo, and remembered himself back then, and suddenly felt deeply touched.
He knew that it was too difficult for a first-grade spirit to advance, let alone open other acupoints/paths on the spirit vein, unless there was an elixir to assist, otherwise, relying on their own cultivation, the vast majority of people would probably stay in place for the rest of their lives.
Tie Zhu didn't bother Zhang Mo, he kept driving the horse to Xiling, and the journey was quite smooth, and no demon beasts came out to disturb him.
A place like Xiling is too remote, and the spiritual power is thin, and the most powerful demon beasts in this place are only first-order demon beasts. Although Tie Zhu has a disability, he is also a third-rank fighting general, and no matter how strong the first-order demon beast is, it is not his opponent.
More than an hour passed, and the two came to Xiling. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the range of 20 miles is the territory of Zhangjiabao.
"Young master, we're here, let's get off!" Tie Zhu stopped the carriage and reminded.
Zhang Mo answered, and then jumped out of the carriage, this place looked unfamiliar, but Zhang Mo felt that this place was very good. When there is no one to bother him, and no one will say that he is a waste.
It's just that it's empty except for a broken grass hut.
"Uncle Tie, where are we staying tonight?" Zhang Mo suddenly became worried, do you want to cover the sky and the earth? At this time, there are dark clouds floating in the sky, and there is a possibility of rain at night.
Tie Zhu smiled: "Naturally, we will sleep in the grass hut tonight, but that grass hut is too small, and it was left by the horses I watched before, so we have to build a bigger grass hut before it gets dark, and then we won't have to worry about having no place to sleep." ”
Zhang Mo couldn't help much, everything had to rely on the iron pillar.
Fortunately, Tie Zhu was familiar with the environment of Xiling, and soon a simple grass hut with two rooms was built.
