Chapter 242: Family Test

The Flood Desolate Continent has been respected by martial arts since ancient times.

Here, only cultivation can be recognized to the point of reaching the pinnacle. Therefore, every big family, for the sake of long-term development, will conduct a test when the family child is ten or twenty years old, and when he is ten years old, he will be able to see if he has the root bone of cultivation, and when he is twenty years old, he can see a person's potential.

In fact, a truly strong person can show his talent for cultivation before he is three years old, and he can show his extraordinaryness when he is five or six years old. But this is a genius, such a person will only appear in a very small number of big families, at least the Lan family in Landing Town, and they will not get such an honor.

The teenagers who participated in this test were all geniuses in Landing Town. No matter what they can achieve in the future, at least, they are the winners of the test ten years ago, and having the qualifications to practice dooms them to be superior.

However, no matter what happens, there are accidents, for example, Lan Jiu is an accident in this test.

He didn't participate in the test ten years ago, but everyone knew that he was the son of the head of the Lan Yan family, and although he was only the ninth child, he was also the only heir of the head of the family in this test.

Compared with last year's test, there were more onlookers this year, and even many people outside the Lan family came to see Lan Jiu's performance. After all, Lan Yan's strength was the strongest in this town, and each of the children in front of him was gifted and performed amazingly.

In this test, there were only nine people, and if Lan Jiu was not there, there would be only eight people.

According to the original grouping, eight people, four groups according to the mode of competition, although the winner is divided, but it does not affect the final result. In the arena, there is a strong family score, and finally his potential is determined according to his personal score, and then if there is a strong person, he may also be directly accepted as a disciple.

At the end of the four games, although it looked exciting, there was nothing too outstanding. Everyone's eyes once again moved back to Lan Jiu's body, and finally, it was time for him to appear. He didn't go through the test ten years ago, so his first shot today was the test of an ordinary child when he was ten years old.

In fact, everyone felt that this test was just a formality, and whether the son of Lan Yan had cultivation talent or not seemed to be noncommittal.

That stone is called, the Spirit Stone.

When the tester's hand touches the stone, it reacts. If it is suitable for cultivation, the spirit stone will glow with a different light, on the contrary, if there is no root bone, there will be no reaction in the slightest. There are also nine small crystals on this spirit test stone, which are connected by a magic circle, and once the person who tests it has an affinity for a certain element, it will glow brightly.

Generally speaking, children who can affinity with the two elements are already considered geniuses, and there are very few who have affinity with the elements of the three series, and those above the five lines are at least not available in the world today. However, this spirit stone is only effective for ordinary humans, such as the demon clan, or those blood clans and wolf clans who sell their souls to the darkness, and they will not let this stone react.

The spirit stone is very precious, basically, there is only one in each town, and the accuracy rate of the test results is as high as 90%.

Raising his hand slightly, Wei Jiu's hand was placed on the boulder, but the boulder did not change in the slightest.

"Huh, could it be that this boulder is broken?" The person in charge of this test raised his eyebrows, looked at Lan Jiu, and said respectfully, "Ninth Young Master, you get out of the way, I'll tinker with it first, and see what happened to this spirit test stone today!"

As soon as the person who tested raised his hand, he saw that the spirit test stone had already lit up with brilliance, and it looked extremely dazzling. But I saw it touch the back of its head and whisper, "Ah... It's all right? It's weird... Ninth Young Master, try again!"

Lan Jiu raised his hand and covered it on the spirit stone, just like the previous scene, without the slightest change.

At this time, no matter how stupid the onlookers were, they saw the clues and whispered one after another. And Lan Yantie, who was sitting directly above, blushed and scolded angrily, "Give me a little quiet... Lan Jiu is weak and not easy to cultivate, the test is over, hum!"

That cold snort was said to Lan Jiu. I saw Lan Yan turn around slightly, his face was pale, he looked in Lan Jiu's direction, and scolded in a low voice, "You are a non-competitive thing... It's as useless as your mother!"

Lan Jiu himself was mentally incomplete, and after hearing the final test results, he understood what was going on with the smiles on the faces of others. Lan Yan's last words made his heart burst out, all his hopes and yearnings were shattered, it was the sound of broken dreams.

The crowd around them cast disdainful glances one by one, although they didn't dare to say anything more due to Lan Yan's pressure, but the disdain and schadenfreude for Lan Jiu in their expressions were indeed obvious. There are even some people from the Yan family who spat in the direction of Lan Jiu, in their eyes, this Jiu Gongzi is just a little white face, and it also makes their Yan family lose face in front of outsiders.

It was red and hot, in a trance, but Lan Jiu didn't have the heart to see it at the later ceremony, so he could only suffer in such a muddy state. I just hope that time can pass faster, and I just hope that I can end this day of shame sooner.

............

Late at night, returning to his own courtyard, Lan Jiu looked at his mother Xi and said aggrievedly, "Mother... The child makes you... Got you down...... It's useless to be a child, woo..."

At the end, Lan Jiu even shed a big tear. His mind is damaged, and his personality is like that of a child.

Xi gently stroked Lan Jiu's cheek, wiped away the tears on it, and then comforted in a low voice, "It's okay, I don't blame you for this... It's because my mother didn't protect you well, so you were robbed by bad people when you were very young... Life must have been very hard in these years, and my physique is naturally weaker!"

"Mother!" Lan Jiu leaned against Xi and sobbed in a low voice.

Nozomi's eyes flashed with a hint of love, which was a mother's love for her son. has been childless for many years, so she loves this sudden "son" ruthlessly, and she is naturally reluctant to let him suffer half of the grievances in her heart. Looking at Lan Jiu's tears, Xi could only continue to comfort, "But I've already discussed it with your father... Although you are not suitable for cultivation, I still agree that you will go to the 'Sky Blue Hall' to study!"

"Huh, really?" the sudden news made Lan Jiu happy, and he asked excitedly.

In the classics of the Lan family, the existence of "Tianlan Hall" has always been recorded, which is the ancestral school of the Lan family. All those who have cultivation talent will learn and grow here, and countless Lan family geniuses have all walked out from here. Originally, it stands to reason that Lan Jiu's qualifications would never be able to enter, and among them, it is conceivable how much cynicism and suffering Xi endured.

"Well, it must be true, can I still lie to you for my mother?" Looking at Lan Jiu's smile, Xi felt that it was worth the hardships he suffered, and said with a smile, "Go to bed early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to go to the academy to sign up... Jiu'er, you should remember that in the future, whether you are practicing physical arts, dancing and writing, you will always be proud of your mother!"

The two returned to their rooms, and Lan Jiu quickly turned off the lights, but at this moment, it was not the time to sleep.

I saw him sitting cross-legged, holding a strange trick in his hand, and those mysterious words appeared in his mind. The aura around him began to revolve around him, and then, little by little, it poured into his body, and then it operated in the mode of Xiao Zhoutian.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he only heard Lan Jiu say to himself, "What's going on... I can clearly feel the aura, and I can also practice, how can I detect such a result during the day today?"

His brows swept and landed on the quaint ring on his finger, his lips opened slightly, and he suddenly muttered three words, three very strange but very familiar words.

"Qiankun Ring!"

The moment he woke up, he wore this ring on his hand, and there was an incomparably mysterious exercise in his mind.

These days, he has been silent in those books, and naturally he has collected a lot of information in this area. What shocked him was that the level of the exercises in his mind far surpassed the ancestral exercises of the Lan family. Although he couldn't say the specific grade, the mystery was more than one level higher.

These days, he would practice the Nine Techniques of the Heavenly Pill in this room every day, and according to the exercises, he was now considered the first trick of entry. Looking at his own situation, the nine spirit pills in the dantian have already taken shape, and there are seven of them that are faintly awakened, which is clearly the breath of the seven elements, and he has awakened the seven elements at the same time, and the remaining two are also in the same affinity state, awakening, it is only a matter of time!

On the test field, he didn't bother too much, because these things must not be known to the second person.

To be able to get the recognition of the five elements is already a genius, and a member like himself who has obtained the nine elements, isn't that a genius among geniuses? Although Lan Jiu has a complete mind, his intuition tells him that this can definitely not be exposed, once others know that he is a seven-line magician at the age of twenty, then I am afraid that it will not only be surprised, but more, it will be a kind of, jealous!

Whether it's Lan Yan or Xi, even if it's his parents, he has never told these secrets.

This ring is called the Qiankun ring.

Among them, Lan Jiu didn't know, but he had a feeling that this ring must hide a bigger secret, but his current strength was not enough to touch.

After cultivating for about two hours, Lan Jiu gradually felt exhausted, raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that cultivation is like a drop of water piercing through a stone, but you can't rush for a while!"

Turning over, the aura dissipated, Wei Jiu lay on the bed, and his thoughts slowly drifted away. He's been through a lot of things and seen a lot on this day, and sometimes, you really need to stop and look back so you know what you need to do next!
