Chapter 41: The Ceremony Begins
In the early morning, a trace of morning light gradually passed through Ling Piaohan's small wooden window, and the light shone on Ling Piaohan, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed at this time.
He was half-curled up on one side of the bed, and beside him was the little tiger with a shiny coat.
This night, the little tiger surprisingly did not object to Ling Piaohan climbing into the wooden bed to sleep, probably to let Ling Piaohan rest more fully in order to meet today's important ceremony.
And Ling Piaohan is also very rare that he didn't choose to get up early, the sun has risen on the mountain, and he is still lying on the bed and sleeping.
The little tiger didn't wake him up, and it wasn't until Ling Piaohan's mother called him to eat after cooking that Ling Piaohan was woken up by the knock on the door.
He rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, answered the call from his mother, and got dressed and went to wash.
Adequate sleep made Ling Piaohan extra energetic today, and after eating, he rummaged through the cabinets in his room for a long time.
In the end, a decent piece of clothing was turned out, today was the day of body quenching and awakening, and if nothing else, almost all the cultivators of the Ling family would be present.
This naturally also includes his father Ling Ping, of course Ling Piaohan also wants to make himself as decent as possible, so that he can give his father a long face.
After eating, Ling Ping rarely took the initiative to stop Ling Piaohan, and the two went to Ling Mansion together, and along the way, Ling Ping and Ling Piaohan said a lot of things to pay attention to for a while.
also joked with Ling Piaohan: "Son, dad believes in your talent, take it easy and don't scare your uncles and uncles, haha."
Ling Piaohan saw his father who was talking and laughing with him along the way, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he didn't know how long he hadn't felt this kind of intimate communication between father and son, and his father didn't know how long he hadn't shown such a relaxed smile.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Father, don't worry, your son will never lose your person"
Along the way, they met a lot of Ling family members who went to Ling Mansion, and Ling Ping also took the initiative to greet the people they met, in fact, the day after Ling Ping felt that the python poison in his body had dissipated, he told Ling Xiong and several elders the good news.
Ling Xiong was also extremely happy, and immediately announced the good news of Ling Ping's recovery from his injuries at home.
Therefore, almost all of the dozen or so people I met along the way warmly congratulated Ling Ping, congratulating him on being able to get rid of his injuries for many years.
Walking to the door of the Ling Mansion, the couplet with vigorous pen came into view, Haoran Changhong Town, Ling's righteousness, this may also be the expectation of the ancestors of the Ling family to the descendants of Ling, righteousness lasts forever, and the lintel shines.
The ceremony of quenching and awakening is in a large square in the center of Lingfu, the size of this square is hundreds of square meters, and the whole is paved with bluestone slabs.
In the center is a large red stone, oblate in shape, erected in the center of the square, with a jagged surface that reveals a weathered sense of time.
This stone is the quenching body stone, it has a very special property, to put it simply, as long as a low-level cultivator touches this stone, its own battle qi will become a little softer.
Combined with the cooperation of the upper cultivators who have become higher and the stronger ones, and integrate their own battle qi into the body of the low-level cultivator to assist them in circulating the battle qi, a new cyclone can be formed.
This process is simple to say, but every year there are not a few juniors who participate in the quenching ceremony who will fail, and even fewer of the successful people can reach level 5 or above.
This square is surrounded by many wooden seats, and the bustling crowd gradually gathers in this place.
After three strokes in the sun, this area was almost full, and all of them were children of the Ling family, although some of them were external children, and they were not cultivators themselves, but they all gathered here to have a good time.
After all, in the Ling family, the Quenching Awakening Ritual can be said to be the most valued activity of the year.
On the stone platform of the small square, a somewhat rich old man slowly walked up, the old man was wearing a blue-black robe, and his face always maintained a slightly squinted smile.
In the eyes of outsiders, this amiable old man simply had no lethality, but in fact, he was one of the Ling family's several peak combat strength.
In addition to the head of the Ling family, Ling Xiong, and the newly promoted junior Ling Duan, there was only one powerhouse left who could touch the same realm, and it was the third elder with a smile on his face in front of him.
He himself is a fire-type wizard, he broke through the bottleneck of a warlock many years ago and came to this level, and now he has the level of a second-level mid-stage wizard.
The old man walked unhurriedly to the center of the stone platform, looked around at the crowd of people sitting on the seats around him, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.
Then, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth to begin to say: "The hour is almost up, I believe you are also in a hurry, and then it will be announced by me, the old man, that this year's quenching awakening ceremony has officially begun." ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly became excited, and cheers came from the seats next to them, and the people who joined in the fun began to discuss loudly.
"See, that guy in the second row is Ling Ran's son Ling Hu, I guess he is the most powerful this year."
"Fart, I think it's Ling Mou, that kid has a lot of potential."
”..........“
Just as the cheers and discussions gradually boiled, the other two elders of the Ling family and the head of the family, Ling Xiong, had already sat in a row of seats at the back of the square.
Behind Ling Xiong were several juniors of the Ling family, and it was Ling Duan, the sword-eyed man, who took the lead, followed by Ling Shan and a group of other children.
After the three elders announced the start of the ceremony, they slowly walked towards the huge quenching stone, and after standing still, they took out a roster from their robes, which recorded the juniors who were going to participate in the quenching awakening ceremony today.
"Ling Shi on stage" The slightly kind voice of the three elders came out, although it was not very loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.
As soon as the third elder finished speaking, a dark-skinned child ran up the stairs from the stage quickly, and then came to the edge of the quenching stone next to the great elder.
"Well, you sit down with your back against this quenching stone, and I'll help you complete the quenching awakening ceremony. The three elders said to Ling Shi who came to the stage.
"Shi, Third Elder" Ling Shi hurriedly agreed, and then sat down with his back against the quenching stone plate.
The three elders also sat down facing Ling Shipan, and then the voice sounded again: "Pan is ready to enter the state of meditation, release the battle qi of the whole body, and do your best to bring the battle qi to the dantian as much as possible."
"I will channel my own magic into your body with the help of the Quenching Stone to help you through this process"
"You can rest assured, with the softening effect of this quenching stone, my magic power will not have a big conflict with your battle qi, but this may be a little uncomfortable for you, try to be patient."
The three elders briefly explained the precautions, and then began to assist Ling Shi in the quenching awakening ceremony.
About half an hour later, a faint battle aura suddenly erupted from the table, followed by the sound of Ling Shi's heavy breathing.
The moment the battle qi erupted, the quenching body stone behind Ling Shi began to flicker with red light, and it flickered four times in a row before it dimmed.
The Great Elder glanced at the Quenching Stone, stood up, and announced loudly: "Ling Shi, Quenching Body Awakening Success, Fourth-Order Cyclone, Wind Attribute"
As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, there were bursts of discussion and cheers from the audience.
"The first one is the first one, this year's junior is quite good."
"Why do you make up your mind so early, there's more to come, it's just a fourth-level"
"That's it, remember last year? Ling Shan has awakened a seventh-level cyclone, that talent is called a terrifying, what is this fourth-level is?"
Many of the children who came to watch the ceremony began to discuss their opinions.
