Thirty years later...... Oriental Mudan ......

The location of the Oriental Mudan tribe is home to thousands of green mountains, mist in the jungle, winding roads, ethereal white clouds in the sky, and streams trickling on the ground, just like a smart landscape painting. In the depths of the jungle, the aura is overflowing, giving birth to many strange birds and beasts.

Mudan City ---- the largest city of the Mudan tribe, located in the west-central part of the Mudan jungle. This small city with a history of more than 400 years, hidden in the vast forest, is the main settlement of the Mudan people. At this moment, on the square in front of the hall of a tall building located directly east of the city, hundreds of young men and women aged thirteen to fourteen were standing respectfully and neatly, listening to the speech of an old man on the high platform in front of the hall. I saw that on the high platform, the old man who spoke was wearing a dark green flooded silk robe, standing with his hands in his hands, and his body vaguely exuded a faint aura, this old man was the head of several elders of the Mudan clan---- Mu Yuanqing, who had a very high status in the clan, second only to the patriarch, and was in charge of major decisions in the clan. In addition to Mu Yuanqing, there were also several other elders and cultivation masters standing on the high platform. The empowerment test ceremony is held every three years, and it is a very important event in the Namudan tribe, aiming to discover potential teenagers in the Mudan tribe and teach the method of cultivating aura. After the first year of empowerment, the Mudan clan faced not only the fierce beasts that continued to become stronger in the Mudan jungle, but also the continuous aggression from other clans, and the ancient precepts passed down by the clan, indicating the unknown catastrophe in the future that also made the clan's successive patriarchs and elders uneasy.

Elder Mu Yuanqing used his aura and said loudly: "Children, I know that you come from various cities and counties of the Mudan Clan, and some of you may have climbed mountains and waded through rivers for many days, you have worked hard. Here today, you will be tested for empowerment that is important to your life, and you will be assigned different cultivation directions according to your respective potential. No matter what skills you are assigned to learn in the future, I hope you will work diligently and do your due strength for the future of the Mudan clan......" The voice rolled, and suddenly reverberated over the square. Many teenagers in the audience were suddenly enthusiastic and very excited.

At this time, there were two old men on the side of the high platform, one tall and one short, talking about something in a low voice, only to hear one of the old men in dark green silk robes with a stiff figure laughing a few times, shook his head slightly, and said to another old man who was also dressed but tall and fat: "The same words, Senior Brother Yuanqing doesn't know how many times he has said it, and he is still so emotional, I really admire." There seemed to be some disdain on his face.

The old man also squinted at Mu Yuanqing, who was speaking loudly, and responded: "Yes, this empowerment potential test, once every three years, counting, this year is exactly a hundred times, the old patriarch has always hoped that there will be a teenager with a potential value of more than nine qualifications, but in the decades since his old man, Mo said that the potential value is above nine, even if it is more than eight, there are very few......" The old man hesitated slightly, and added, " However, the last empowerment potential test made Sun Muziliang's potential value very good, and with the backing of your elder grandfather, he will definitely be able to become a great weapon in the future......"

"Brother Yuande, you think too highly of my unsuccessful grandson, his potential value is only seven and a half, there is nothing to boast ......about," although he said so, Elder Yuan Xiu's eyebrows fluttered slightly, and he laughed a few times, and his face could not hide the smugness.

After Elder Yuanqing finished speaking, he saw his big sleeves raised, as if beckoning to the distance, and after a while, three huge colorful spirit birds flew from a distance with a soft roar, and stopped more than ten zhang away from the high platform in front of the hall, and two men and one woman jumped off the back of the birds. The three of them were all dressed in light green robes, and their appearance was young, they were only in their thirties, but the aura they exuded showed that their cultivation of the wood attribute aura had reached a very high level. When the young men and women in the audience saw this scene, they immediately let out a burst of restlessness, and many people exclaimed in surprise, with extremely excited and fascinated expressions on their faces. They all can't wait to cultivate the aura, and one day they can be recognized by the spirit birds in the depths of the mudan jungle like the three empowerment masters, and adopt them as mounts, what a majesty it is.

I saw the three of them walk up to the high platform and salute several elders, and then one of them took two steps forward, glanced at the hundreds of teenagers in the audience, nodded slightly, and said in a strong and powerful voice: "My name is Mu Changfeng, and later I and Chang Xin and Chang Ye will send out aura at the same time to test the empowerment potential in the body for everyone, and estimate a measurement value according to the standard prevailing on the mainland, so that we can give you different cultivation guidance in the future." You just have to sit down with your knees crossed, relax and meditate, and don't reject them, and there will be no danger......"

It's just that the children don't seem to have recovered from the extremely shocking scene just now, and it is difficult to settle down for a while. The two boys sitting in the back whispered something, only to see one of the boys, thin and thin, dressed in gray cloth, with a delicate face and a little nervous, and said to another boy next to him who was also in the same clothes: "It's going to start, Brother Mu Ze!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao. It seemed to see the nervousness of the boy on the side, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, didn't grandfather give us the elixir yesterday, if you want to come here for testing, we are very advantageous." The boy was sturdy, sunny-faced, and spoke with great confidence.

The boy named Mu Xiao nodded, and immediately felt much more relieved. The two boys are two brothers, from a small place called Nanqi County in the east of the Mudan tribe, and their father is an ordinary logging and construction worker, but the two boys have been smart and clever since they were young, and they are expected by their families.

Tutor Mu Changfeng on the high platform continued to briefly introduce the relevant matters of the empowerment potential test: "The empowerment potential value is between zero and ten, and it is usually divided into four grades, and below four is the lowest, which belongs to the low potential value, and it is generally not suitable for cultivating aura. After a pause, he said, "But even if you can't cultivate spiritual energy, you can still go to the Casting Hall to learn alchemy or refining weapons." ”

Hearing this, the hundreds of children in the audience all showed some worried expressions, and they didn't want to belong to the people with the lowest potential value.

Tutor Mu Changfeng continued: "Four to six is medium, you can cultivate aura, and six to eight is superior, and your cultivation potential is huge. The endowment potential value is demarcated by eight points zero, and those who are above eight points zero can be regarded as extremely talented, as for the empowerment potential value of more than nine, it is already theoretical, since the empowerment standard test, the Shengyuan Continent includes the Ice Clan and the Longyan Clan in addition to our Mudan Clan, and there are no more than ten people with an empowerment value of more than eight, let alone more than nine. The audience was suddenly noisy again, and many children showed fascinated expressions, hoping that they could have the opportunity to become the lucky ones that happened once in a century.

At this time, Elder Mu Yuanxiu, who was quietly discussing on the stage, snorted lightly, looked coldly at the hundreds of young men and women in the audience, and discussed with Elder Mu Yuande on the side in a slightly mocking tone: "Look at this group of naïve boys, how do they know the meaning of empowerment potential, but they don't know that among the more than 100 of them, there may only be about 20 people who can reach more than six empowerment potential, and more than half of them will have a potential value of less than four. ”

On the high platform, Mu Yuande, who was just talking in a whisper, nodded his beard and said to the rickety old man on the side: "Yes, my Mudan clan's empowerment test in recent decades has failed to produce a disciple with excellent qualifications, and a disciple with a potential value of more than seven like Ziliang Xiansun is already a rarity. I saw that he was tall and fat, several sizes older than Mu Yuanxiu who was talking to him, but the tone of his voice seemed to be bent over everywhere, and there was a lot of sycophancy, which was a little weird in the eyes of others.

Hearing Mu Yuande's words of concurrence to himself, Mu Yuanxiu seemed to feel accustomed to it, laughed twice, and stopped talking.

"Okay!" Looking at the restless young men and women in the audience, Mentor Changfeng raised his voice and said, "As for the introduction of the cultivation level in the future, after the test is completed and the cultivation mentor is assigned, the mentor will inform you." Now everyone calm down, and the test is about to begin!"

After a while, the teenagers in the audience settled down one after another, only to see that with the slight movement of the minds of the three empowerment masters, their bodies exuded a rolling wood attribute aura, slowly rotating around the bodies of the three people, and the three of them immediately rose into the air, and then fell into three places and fell to the periphery of the teenagers sitting cross-legged under the stage. The mighty aura spread out in all directions, enveloping the hundreds of teenagers in the audience. As the three mentors continued to release their spiritual energy, and with the increasingly dense magic tricks in their mouths, bursts of spiritual energy ripples gradually poured out of the teenagers' bodies, some strong and some weak. At this time, the person in charge of recording quickly walked through the juvenile room, holding a roll of purple spirit bamboo slips, and at the same time kept drawing in the void on the bamboo slips. This purple spirit bamboo slip is made of purple spirit bamboo unique to the mudan jungle, which contains wood attribute aura and has the special function of recording and displaying information.

After about half a burnt incense time, the three empowerment mentors put away their aura and took off to return to the high platform. Elder Yuan Qing took the purple spirit bamboo slip handed over by the recorder, glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes showed a strange brilliance, and he looked at the man and woman sitting in the front row of the stage. After a while, I saw Elder Mu Yuanqing looking up at the sky, and his heart seemed to be a little excited. At this time, Yuan Xiu and Elder Yuan De on the side stretched their necks and looked at the bamboo slip in Elder Yuan Qing's hand, both of them were shocked, and they couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Then I saw Elder Yuanqing look at Mu Ze and Mu Xiao in the audience, but his face was a little cloudy, which made the two brothers Mu Ling and Mu Xiao suddenly nervous. Fortunately, Elder Yuanqing quickly put away the Purple Spirit Bamboo Slip and did not say anything. I only heard Elder Mu Yuanqing say in a majestic voice again: "The test is over, everyone should go back, there will be an envoy to the house in three days to bring instructions from the clan." Some of the young people in the audience felt relieved, but some seemed to be a little excited, and they were talking a lot, eager to know their test results, but when they saw that Elder Yuanqing did not announce the results, they only called them home and waited for the news, although they were a little disappointed, they had to reluctantly leave the square and go home.

Although Mu Ze and Mu Xiao were a little apprehensive in their hearts, they looked at each other, and they didn't know why Elder Fang Cai Yuanqing deliberately looked at the two of them. Mu Xiao looked around again, as if he was looking for someone, only to see that the young men and women in the square had left one after another at this time, a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, but then he smiled and said to Mu Ze: "Brother Mu Ze, let's go back too!"

Changqi County, only forty or fifty miles away from Mudan City, the two brothers Mu Ze and Mu Xiao trotted all the way, sometimes stopping to fight for a while, and in less than half a day, they returned home.
