The warm sun rose into the sky, shining brightly, this day, for the Ice and Snow City, it was still a dull and tedious day, but for the Qingfeng Spirit Temple, it was undoubtedly an important day.

However, due to the fact that there are not many tutors and students in the academy, coupled with the intelligence officers who go out on missions and are distributed in foreign countries, it seems a little cold at the moment, but despite this, there is still a black head next to the Demon Spirit Stone Tablet whispering something.

The Demon Spirit Stone Tablet is a stone tablet that detects the level of the spiritual root and the existing spiritual stage and the intensity of the spiritual energy, the stone tablet comes from the hand of the country of soldiers, because of its expensive cost and cumbersome process, so in addition to the seven major foreign countries, few small countries on the edge use this magical stone tablet.

At this time, Bai Li and Ye Yu were walking with Wang Shuang and the others, and because of the explanations on the way, several of them looked solemn and did not say a word.

"Bai Li of the Ice Crystal Branch, Ye Yu of the Cangmu Branch, according to the requirements put forward by the dean, visited the northeast of the country and found a total of three people who met the standards. ”

After speaking, he led Wang Shuang and the others to the left side under the Demon Spirit Tablet, and then another team of people stepped forward.

"Mori Zhu of the Angry Thunder Branch, and the Shadow Branch of the Shadow Branch, according to the requirements of the dean, visited the northwest of the country, and also found three people who met the standards. ”

With that, he led several young boys and girls behind him to the right side under the Demon Spirit Tablet.

Seeing Bai Li who had taken off his veil on the other side, although Sen Zhu wanted to say something, due to the special situation at this time, he could only look at her quietly, with remorse in his eyes.

Sensing Mori Zhu's gaze, Bai Li returned with a smile.

Although I don't know why Bai Li took off the veil, but seeing this smile, Senzhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and thought in his heart, "It seems that she should have forgiven me..."

After a long time, an elderly man walked out of nowhere, only to see him deep and graceful, brushing his white beard and slowly speaking.

"It's hard work, but before I carry out the spirit test, please allow me to delay everyone for a little time..."At this, the old man swept his eyes and looked at the few children in the audience, his cloudy eyes were full of guilt, and even his voice became trembling.

"First of all, for the six children brought by the four of you, I apologize to you for the entire Snow Country..."

"What?!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar.

Feng Ruode is highly respected, modest, and a well-known good man in the academy, besides, he should be the first time to visit these selected children today, and how can he talk about apologizing? More importantly, people want to save face, even if they really do something, they should not say it at this time, this is undoubtedly discrediting the Qingfeng Spirit Temple and the Snow Country.

It seemed that he heard the pointing and pointing of outsiders, and some of the tutors and students present gradually darkened their faces, but because the dean was not easy to attack, he had to secretly scold the old fool in his heart.

Feng Ruo turned a deaf ear to the complaining eyes thrown from all directions, and just looked at the children in the audience with a calm face.

"You come from the most remote depths of the Northern Regions, there may be some villages that don't even have names, you are gifted with spiritual roots, you should have enjoyed a very high status in the snow country and were loved by people, but in the village you are treated as aliens, monsters, and even ostracized and driven away..."

"Whether you have experienced this or not, whether you are full of hatred for this country at the moment, all I can do here is a trivial apology......"

After a pause, Feng Ruo continued, "Secondly, from the moment you enter the Academy, you will be the cultivators of the Qingfeng Spirit Academy, the people of the Snow Country, and one day in the future, you will be unlimited!"

"Of course, if you still have hatred for this country, I will send someone to send you to the resettlement site to ensure that you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”

At this point, the instructors who were originally black-faced couldn't help but lower their heads, and when they looked at the children again, they seemed to have the same apology as Feng Ruo.

"Boom..."

The resentment that could not be concealed condensed between his eyebrows, and when he heard what Feng Ruo said, the body of a young man standing behind Mori Zhu couldn't stop trembling!

I saw that his fists were clenched, his teeth were clenched, and his pale face turned blood red with anger! Even the boys and girls standing next to him could clearly hear the piercing sound of grinding their teeth, but for some reason, he burst into tears.

"It seems that as the dean said, this kid has suffered a lot...", many onlookers thought to themselves.

Looking at the child who hid his face and cried, some of the tutors blamed themselves slightly, although it was not themselves who caused him to become like this, but the result of the development of such a child was indeed the country they loved.

No one stepped forward to comfort him, and perhaps only tears were the best painkiller.

After a long time, the crying gradually stopped, but the young man still kept sobbing, he looked ahead blankly, with endless sorrow in his eyes, and began to tell his story lightly...

His home is in a remote mountain village at the foot of a distant mountain, where there is a large amount of fine rosewood that can be used for carving, most of the people in the village make a living from woodcarving, and his parents are well-known local carpenters.

However, that year, when he was born, it is said that the house emitted a turquoise light, and after a few days, the surrounding trees withered for some reason, and the original green leaves became yellow, and the rosewood, which was fine, tough, and difficult to deform, and used to make delicate wood carvings, also became rotten wood.

The villagers all depend on these trees to feed their families, and when the environment for their lazy survival is destroyed, they undoubtedly blame all the blame and anger on the newborn baby, who still smiles innocently when he does not know what he will face in the future, and his parents are his only umbrella.

Gradually, their family was alienated by the people in the village, even the most exquisite carvings had no sales channels, he grew day by day, and the trees in the village were decaying and drying up day by day, and the original disgust was about to evolve into murderous intent......

Time flies, time flies, in a blink of an eye he is already three years old, the family's savings are about to be exhausted, as a last resort, the family gave up the enthusiasm of wood carving, had to plant some fruits and vegetables in a barren land next to it, to ensure their own life.

A year later, it was harvest season, but ......

A year's hard work was trampled and destroyed overnight, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his mother's already weak body and the heavy blow completely collapsed...

His father knew who had caused the accident, but with a sigh of helplessness, they left the place and headed out into the valley in the hope of starting a new life.

Speaking of this, the corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly, and a happy smile quietly emerged, obviously for him, the days on the mountain were his happiest time.

They built a thatched hut on the hill and sowed the last seeds in the soil, although some birds and beasts often came to make trouble, but after another year, there was the joy of the harvest, and his mother's health began to gradually improve, and in his spare time, his parents began to teach him to make wood carving.

Sure enough, he lived up to his parents' expectations, and he was already better than the blue.

From time to time, the laughter of a family can be heard in the valley, and perhaps for them, this is their lifelong home......

Three years have passed, and my mother's face has faint wrinkles, and although my father's body is still strong, it is not as good as before.

Thankfully, the kid was sensible, and he understood what had happened back then.

Although I always feel angry when I think about it, the anger in my heart gradually turns into gratitude because of the love of my father and mother, and if it weren't for those people in the village, maybe I wouldn't have the happy life I have now.

He walked from valley to valley and played by the stream, but he was never alone, because he had parents who loved him.

However, the good times did not last long, and one morning, his father stumbled upon a withered tree in the forest, and with a question, he followed the withered tree to the depths, and actually discovered the truth that caused the tree to wither!

It was a small beast, and it was pecking at the roots of the tree with its long, sharp and slender beak, and in a few moments the tree that had lost its spirit withered completely.

Seeing this scene, although he was shocked, but more joy, suppressed the excitement in his heart, he shrank back and quietly retreated.

When he returned home, he was ecstatic and said, "I have found the cause of the withering of the trees, there is a wild beast there, it will suck the spirit of the tree, and it will be proved that our children are not aliens!"

Although she felt inexplicable, but seeing her husband's excited appearance, the woman went down the mountain to look for her neighbors, perhaps in his heart, she still longed for the former village.

When he saw his wife and children descending the mountain, he quietly turned back the way he came, leaving a mark on the way, wanting to see if the unknown beast was still there, but he never thought about what would happen to him when he went......

When the mother and son arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they found that it was a barren place, most of the people had long since left their homes, and only a few people were still barely living here.

Facing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When people saw the mother and son, their eyes were full of disgust and indifference, the village that once made a living from wood carving is long gone, and everything has been lost in the long river of time.

Feeling that her former best friend was deliberately estranged, the tip of her nose was a little sour, but remembering her husband's words, she still told the villagers here the whole story, but in exchange, it was contempt and irony.

Luckily, thanks to her best efforts, the few remaining people in the village finally decided to believe her once, and they went up the mountain in groups.

Following the mark, the beast was found, and at this time it was lying there with a mouth full of blood, sucking the essence of another tree, and beside it was a dying man, who smiled at his children and wife as if with the last of his strength, and did not move.

The villagers then stepped forward to kill the beast, and in the process, they discovered the man's stiff hands and gripped the beast's claws tightly.

Seeing this scene, the villagers couldn't help but cry.

He can obviously let go of this beast and save his life, he can obviously use these wounds on his body as proof that there is indeed a beast, he is obviously...

Maybe he didn't do it just because he wanted everyone in the village to recognize his child, or maybe his smile just wanted to express that my child is a normal person, and the wrong person is you......

No one knows why he would rather give up his life to capture the beast, but one thing is undoubted, and that is the truth.

It's a pity that the price of the truth is too great for people to bear, maybe it was not the beast that killed him, but the indifference between human nature.

In this way, his laughter became a pain for everyone, his wife had long since stopped crying, and the poor child stood there expressionlessly, he did not understand sadness, and he did not even shed a tear.

Looking at the tightly clenched hands, the villagers' chests felt as if they were being crushed by a boulder, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

In the end, the villagers buried him with the carcass of the beast in this valley full of sorrow, and came to pay their respects every year.

Soon after, the trees in the village came to life again, and the people who had been in a foreign land gradually returned.

They could not believe the truth, but the tomb in the valley, no matter how much they justified, seemed so pale and powerless......

Knowing what happened to the young man, the onlookers couldn't help but cry quietly, everyone seemed to want to say something, only a faint sigh lingered for a long time.

"Heh, but I hate myself, if I could have followed my father at the time, he might have let go of the beast because I was there..."

The bitter smile was full of self-blame, and after confiding all the things that had been suppressed in my heart for so many years, my mood no longer seemed to be so heavy.

Seeing that the young man's mentality changed so quickly, Feng Ruo, who was curious about it, couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

"Xuanxin!"

When his name is mentioned, the boy appears confident.

Glancing at Xuan Xin a few times with deep meaning, Feng Ruo added, "I haven't finished what I said just now, I'll ask again, if you are still dissatisfied with the Snow Country, you can leave here!"

It is completely different from the previous momentum, if the tone just now is like a calm lake, then at this moment it is more like a huge wave on the sea, constantly beating everyone's heart!

"If you don't make a decision now, after you become full-fledged spiritual cultivators in the future... No, it's the whole academy, if you dare to have a heart of treason..."

Although he didn't continue, the cold tone still made the scalps of everyone present tingle.

"The future is terrifying, I really look forward to how far I can grow..."

Facing the children who were not shocked everywhere, Feng Ruo thought to himself.

"Finally, the spirit test begins!"

As the wind fell, a man in uniform walked up to the stage, took out a list from his arms, and said in a slightly low voice, "Wang Shuang!"

Hearing his name called, Wang Shuang looked extremely nervous, but under the comfort of Bai Li and his party, he also strode forward and put his hand on the stone tablet.

Looking up at the data on the stone tablet, the man was slightly stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses and announced, "Fire and thunder attribute aura, medium-level spiritual root, high aura intensity, existing spirit stage, first order of spirit, divided into the Angry Thunder Branch!"

When the words of the spirit tester fell, there was a discussion in the audience, and even Bai Li and Ye Yu were extremely shocked, although they already knew that Wang Shuang had reached the first level of the first spirit, but they never expected that there was still a thunder attribute aura in their bodies!

Seeing that the people in the audience kept talking about themselves, Wang Shuang seemed very unaccustomed and retreated to the team.

"I'm very happy, so many girls are discussing you, I must be fluttering in my heart!"

As soon as he came back, he heard Ling Xue's sour words, Wang Shuang scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what's going on..."

"Humph!"

When the noisy discussion slowed down, the man shouted again one after another, "Ling Xue!"

Hearing the sound, Ling Xue walked to the front of the stage with some fear, and she smiled at the soul tester with a stiff expression, and then put her palm on the stone tablet, which also showed the data......

"Ling Xue, no attribute aura, mid-level spiritual root, high aura intensity, no spiritual period for the time being, divided into the Holy Spirit Branch!"

......

"Zhang Cong, dark attribute aura, high-grade spiritual root, low aura intensity, no spiritual period for the time being, divided into the Shadow Branch!"

......

"Xuanxin, wood attribute aura, medium-grade spiritual root, medium-level spiritual energy intensity, first-order spiritual energy, divided into Cangmu Branch!"

......

"Han Meng, water attribute aura, medium-grade spiritual root, medium-level spiritual energy intensity, first-order spiritual energy, divided into the Ice Crystal Branch!"

......

"Wu Guang, fire attribute aura, low-grade spirit root, medium aura intensity, there is no spirit period for the time being, and it is divided into the Angry Thunder Branch!"

......

With one by one testing, finally only the last girl was left, in the face of the eyes gathered by the audience, she yawned bored, and flew down in front of the stage, the soul tester looked at the girl, and a stiff smile appeared on her face that had been indifferent.

"Cheng Ying, water attribute aura, high-grade spiritual root, extremely high aura richness, first-order spiritual body, divided into the Ice Crystal Branch!

When the testers announced the results, an unprecedented storm of discussion erupted in the audience.

"I really didn't expect to have the strength of the spirit body stage at such a young age..."

"It's really a student of Teacher Bai Li..."

"Hmph, I hope it's not like before..."

"Hey, hey, the next thing is taboo..."

The students in the academy and the cultivators who traveled around were all talking non-stop, although they knew that she was a student that Bai Li had personally led a long time ago, but she had never entered the academy to practice, and now she showed a strong talent that was still unbelievable, on the other hand, Bai Li looked at Cheng Ying proudly, and seemed to be happier than she was standing on the stage herself.

"Ahem..."

Feng coughed twice before everyone came back to their senses, and when they looked at Cheng Ying again, although their expression was amiable, there were doubts in the depths of their eyes.

"That's the end of today's soul test, and a year later, I will retest at the same time as the previous class of students..."

With a wave of his hand, Feng Ruo turned to leave, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with these seven children.

"What is a retest?"

When the person was almost gone, Ling Xue asked.

"The retest is actually a test of strength, today's test is just a simple understanding of the individual's spiritual root, aura richness and spiritual period, however, you don't have to worry, as long as you work hard to cultivate, you can meet the requirements of the retest in a few months. ”

"Teacher Bai Li seems to be very troublesome..."

Bai Li in front of him was gushing, but these children were gathered in a group and said they didn't understand at all.

"Hurry up, what are you muttering there, I'm going to take you to the academy where you want to study in the future. ”

"Oh, here, here. ”

A few people trotted to keep up with Bai Li and Ye Yu, and at the same time, they also completely stepped into the world of spiritual cultivators.
