In the cold wind, Qin Xuan shrunk his neck and rushed home.

I saw that he was wrapped in a cotton jacket, wrapped himself tightly, and had gray felt on his head, protecting his ears on both sides, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

Qin Xuan muttered in a low voice as he walked on the bluestone road.

"I've read a lot of classics in the academy, but there are no words similar to Zijin characters, and I don't know what these words are. Qin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.

The cat baby's death was too weird, and Qin Xuan didn't want to follow in his footsteps, so he had been checking the classics for the past half a year, looking for a way to deal with the silver beads.

There are thousands of purple gold characters hidden in the silver beads, and if you want to understand the silver beads, the first step is, of course, to understand the purple gold characters.

He thought that the academy had a rich collection of books, but he did not find any classics related to the Zijin script.

Qin Xuan's heart was extremely heavy, the death of the cat baby was still vivid, did he have to follow in his footsteps?

"No, I can't give up, the academy has such a rich collection of books, I have only read a small part, maybe there are records about the Zijin script in the remaining classics!" Qin Xuan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

......

A few days before the New Year's Festival, Qin Xuan and his grandmother hurriedly walked by, and when Qin Xuan came back to his senses, the New Year's Festival had quietly arrived.

......

On the evening of the thirtieth, on the clan school training ground, hundreds of thousands of people from the Liu family surrounded a mountain peak, Stanley Peak.

This peak is the core of the Liu family, the ancestral hall of the family is located on the mountainside, and there is also the most important hall of the family on the top of the mountain, so every sacrifice will be chosen in front of Stanley Peak.

The top of the mountain.

The clan elder and several elders stood in front of the cliff, looking down on the vast land, and countless clansmen gathered around the mountain peak, looking eagerly at the leader of the family, the clan elder.

The clan elder is the supreme ruler of the Liu family, and he is also the strongest person on the surface.

It is said that the clan elder has a sixth-order peak cultivation, and in this northwest land, there are few such characters, and even if there are, they are all old monsters who have not been born for a long time.

Above the sixth order, there is the realm of kings, the kind of existence that has transcended the level of mortals, and its power is incredibly powerful, and it can easily create a kingdom.

Such an existence can already be called a myth, and it will not appear in the world at all.

Therefore, the existence of the Liu clan elder, which is second only to the king, can already be called the pinnacle of the mortal world!

The land in the northwest is snow-capped and the scenery is magnificent.

The clan elder and several elders lined up, standing in front of the cliff, looking at the northern sky, holding their heads high, as if they were waiting for something!

At the foot of the mountain, there were dense clansmen, Qin Xuan was also among them, everyone held their breath, waiting for the official start of the New Year's Festival.

At the back of the crowd, Qin Xuan and his grandmother were standing in a remote corner.

Qin Xuan raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain, but he could only see a vague figure, and he couldn't see the appearance of the clan elder at all.

"Is this the clan elder of the Liu family? It is said that the clan elder has a sixth-order cultivation, I don't know what the scene is when a sixth-order martial artist fights?" Qin Xuan said secretly in his heart.

He had already seen the scene of the battle of the fourth-order martial artist, it was Liu Jin, the captain of the demon hunting team in the clan, a fourth-order early martial artist.

That time, Liu Jin demonstrated the mystery of a palm technique to the clansmen, and Qin Xuan happened to pass by, so he took two looks.

I saw Liu Jin's palm wind whistling, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed out with a palm, and blasted the boulder a few feet away into powder.

Then Liu Jin performed all the dozens of palm moves, his body was incredibly fast, Qin Xuan couldn't see Liu Jin's movements clearly, he only heard the roar of the earth, and the bluestone-paved ground cracked black cracks, like spider webs.

At that time, Qin Xuan's scalp was numb, it was an extremely hard silver-veined bluestone, harder than bronze, but in front of a fourth-order martial artist, it was as fragile as tofu, and it shattered in a moment.

"This is the strength of a fourth-order martial artist?" Qin Xuan's whole person was stunned.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, seeing this scene with his own eyes, Qin Xuan understands how powerful a martial artist is!

The fourth-order martial artist is so terrifying, and the sixth-order martial artist is two great realms higher, what a terrifying existence?

Qin Xuan's thoughts were floating in his heart, and time was quietly disappearing.

After a long time, it was not until Qin Xuan's legs and feet were almost numb when he stood up.

Suddenly, a heavy and distant drum beat came from afar.

This was the sound of drums in the middle of the night, and Qin Xuan understood that the New Year's Festival was finally about to begin.

At the top of the mountain, the clan elder took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Since the ancestors founded the Liu family and established Stanley Peak, the Liu clan has overcome obstacles and gone through hardships to have today's glory..."

Although the voice of the clan elder was not loud, there was a majestic true qi that spread throughout the radius of dozens of miles, resounding in everyone's ears, and Qin Xuan could hear it clearly.

After some impassioned words, the clan elder finally announced that the New Year's festival had officially begun.

"Oh!!"

The clansmen immediately cheered, and huge bonfires were lit, rising flames several feet high, illuminating the surrounding area of hundreds of zhang.

Hundreds of thousands of people were divided into groups and danced around the campfires.

This is the end of the past year and the beginning of the coming year, and everyone is rejoicing in the peace of the past year and praying for happiness in the coming year!

At the same time as the bonfire, there is the annual festival.

There are many ceremonies and activities in the annual sacrifice ceremony, among which Qin Xuan is most looking forward to the two of them: the book making ceremony and the gong transmission ceremony.

The so-called book-making ceremony is actually to take an official name for the eight-year-old clansmen and log in to the family tree, and these children are officially Liu clansmen!

This is the rule of the Liu family, children before the age of eight do not have an official name, they can only take nicknames, such as Ah Yan, Goudan, Heiya, and Maowazi.

Qin Xuan is still young, only five years old after the New Year, so he is called a cat baby.

When they were eight years old and took their official names, these children were officially members of the Liu clan.

At the same time, their bones have also developed perfectly, and they can initially practice martial arts!

Therefore, the canonization ceremony and the transmission ceremony are often carried out at the same time.

The ceremony of passing on the gong is that the family gives these eight-year-old children a low-level exercise, and let the warriors in the clan teach martial arts, which is the transmission of gong.

Qin Xuan looked at the group of children gathered in the middle of a platform, among them was Ah Yan.

Ah Yanhong's face was full of anticipation, and in front of them, there was a family deacon who was filling out the roster for them.

After these children are listed in the Liu clan genealogy, the deacon will take Ah Yan and the others to climb the central Stanley Peak.

On the top of that mountain, there is a huge palace called the Hall of Meritorious Service.

There are all the exercise books of the Liu family hidden in the Gong Transmission Hall, and Ah Yan and these children will choose their own exercise books among them!

With the Gongfa classics, you can start to officially practice martial arts, and you don't need to go to the academy anymore!

Qin Xuan looked at this group of young people who had just turned eight, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, when Ah Yan got the Gongfa classics, he could also borrow them to take a look, this was what he had already made with Ah Yan!

Ah Yan is a wood attribute physique, and the exercises he cultivates must also be wood attribute exercises, and Qin Xuan learned from the memory of the cat baby that he is a civil and engineering dual-attribute physique, and there is no problem in cultivating wood attribute exercises.

It has been half a year since he came to this world, Qin Xuan has long seen the power of martial artists, but he has never seen a martial arts technique!

He couldn't wait to know what an amazing thing the exercises were, which could make a person have the power to destroy the world!

The family deacon quickly registered all the names, and then walked towards the mountain with a large group of children until he was out of Qin Xuan's sight.

These children will stay in the Gong Transmission Hall for seven days, and under the guidance of the deacon, they will choose the exercises that suit them, so Qin Xuan will have to wait seven days at the earliest before he can see a Gong Gong book!

"Seven days, in another seven days, I will be able to see the exercises and texts of this world!" Qin Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked to the other side.

It was a group of twelve-year-old boys, all of them strong and strong, and they didn't give in to the adults outside.

The place is much more lively, and in addition to these teenagers, there are many clansmen around it, all of whom are the elders of these teenagers, and everyone is full of hope that their children will come to the fore.

A deacon is testing the strength, speed, and cultivation of these teenagers.

These children are all carefully selected from the clan, and after four years of martial arts training, their talents have been revealed.

Among them, children with good qualifications and profound cultivation will be sent to Qingyang College to study by the Liu family.

"Hold on, hold on a little longer, and I'll be chosen!" a teenager gritted his teeth and held up a boulder with both hands.

His teeth were clenched, his lips were purple, and he had obviously reached his limit, but this boulder had only reached his waist, and only by raising it above his head could he be selected by the family and sent to Qingyang Academy to study.

Boom!

The young man's body suddenly sank, and the whole person fell forward, and the boulder he was holding also fell to the ground!

"It's a pity, it failed!" the nearby onlookers shook their heads.

"It's too difficult, a two-thousand-pound boulder, how difficult it is to lift, it can't be done without a second-order cultivation!" an old man sighed.

"Lifting two thousand catties of boulders, this is already the bottom line of Qingyang Academy, that is, my Liu family is friendly with Qingyang Academy, so they will lower the threshold, they don't need second-order cultivation, as long as they can lift the boulder, they can enter the academy to study." Another said.

These clansmen all understand that a second-order martial artist can lift a two-thousand-jin boulder, but the one who lifts a two-thousand-jin boulder is not necessarily a second-order martial artist.

Some people are born with great strength, or their bodies have been trained hard, even if they only have a first-order cultivation, they can lift two thousand catties of boulders.

Therefore, these twelve-year-old boys all hoped to lift two thousand catties of boulders, and they were all first-order peak cultivators without exception, and they were not far from the second-order.

But the breakthrough of each level is as difficult as reaching the sky, it takes a long time of hard work, maybe in another year, they will not be able to break through the second order, and entering Qingyang Academy, with the rich resources of the academy, the hope of these teenagers to break through is much greater.

In fact, the benefits of Qingyang College are far more than that.

Qingyang Academy is the first academy of Fengxiang Kingdom, the strongest dynasty in the Northwest Land, where fourth- and fifth-order masters emerge in an endless stream, and there have even been sixth-order marrow level students.

Qingyang Academy is a gathering place for geniuses, and all the people who come out there are strong people, and it is also the holy place of martial arts that all the children of the Liu family yearn for.

However, what is equivalent to the fame of Qingyang College is its threshold.

The threshold of Qingyang Academy is extremely high, generally only recruiting students under the age of twelve who are above the second order, and the college itself still has a certain assessment, even if it is a second-order martial artist, it may not be able to pass the assessment and become a student of the academy.

The Liu family will send a few teenagers every year, and those teenagers will become the backbone of the clan in the future.
