Chapter 49: The Spiritual Root Test
In her dream, she saw that she had returned to the time when the heavens and the earth had not yet opened.
She was in the midst of chaos, a baby wrapped in a transparent mist, sleeping peacefully. The strange thing is that there is a baby as big as her lying next to her, and it is a baby boy who can be faintly seen through the black fog.
Odd? Tiandao clearly said that she was the only one of the primordial gods born in chaos back then, so what was the picture she saw? She had a hunch that this little boy wrapped in a black fog was definitely not something she had dreamed of for no reason.
Just when Si Jiuyi was puzzled, the picture suddenly turned, and the baby boy turned into a tall man, the man's head was still shrouded in black mist, he was carrying a long sword, the tip of the sword slashed across the ground and made a piercing friction sound, and slowly walked towards her.
Before she could get closer to see what this person looked like, she suddenly felt an irresistible pull pulling on her, and then the scenery in front of her flickered, and she returned to reality.
Si Jiuyi opened her eyes and didn't see the person's appearance, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
……
The next day, the day of the Si family's talent test arrived.
Si Jianuo's martial arts training ground was already crowded with people, although the younger generation of the main family was scarce, only Si Qi, Si Ge, Si Yao'er, Si Jiuyi and Si Xiaoyu.
However, there are many side branches of the Si family, and almost all of them are prosperous.
Therefore, the Si family's annual spiritual root test is also quite lively.
Since Si Qi and Si Ge are already disciples of Yanling Sect, they will not participate in this test, Si Xiaoyu is too young and did not sign up, and only Si Yao'er and Si Jiuyi are the main family to sign up.
Except for some side branch disciples who were present on the day of registration, many people were not present that day, so they didn't see the scene of Si Jiuyi's domineering appearance that day.
Today's Si Jiuyi is still dressed in red, but he has changed to a more slim martial arts training uniform.
Almost as soon as she entered, she attracted everyone's attention.
Noble, cold, and beautiful girls, they were surprised at how they had never seen this person in the Si family before?
But when they knew that this beautiful girl was Si Jiuyi, their expressions suddenly changed to disdain and disdain.
What is this waste doing in the martial arts training ground?
Isn't it self-inflicted?
It's not that the Si family doesn't have a bad talent of miscellaneous spirit roots, it's just that most of them will find another way.
In addition to the fact that some extremely talented disciples will always pursue strong strength, there are many other professions that support the development of the entire family.
For example, the three elders of the three lines of miscellaneous spirit roots chose to do business, and they did a very good job to support the economic development of the Si family.
Like Si Jiuyi, a "parasite" who has no spiritual roots and does not seek progress, and stays in the family with a dead face and no contribution, they will only be ridiculed to the fullest.
Regarding everyone's ridicule, abuse, disdain, and slander, Si Jiuyi just glanced at it lightly and remembered everyone's appearance in his heart.
Who said that the Protoss can't hold grudges? When others scolded her, she still had to swallow her anger, so why did she want this strong strength?
Sometimes not caring doesn't mean she's not angry, what should she do now when she's angry? Naturally......
When my hand was itchy, I went to greet one person after another.
You like to talk, I like to use your hands.
But no one had taught her that God couldn't beat people.
It's a little exciting to think about!
As soon as Si Yao'er looked up, she saw Si Jiuyi's smile, and she was immediately furious. Why do you have such a confident smile on your shit?
Until now, she still refuses to face the fact that Si Jiuyi has cultivation, and stubbornly feels that it was because of that strange "secret weapon" that suppressed her strength that day, which caused her to be suppressed and beaten by Si Jiuyi.
And after the examination proved that she was really not injured, she felt that Si Jiuyi was just a fist and had no strength.
After eating the spirit root of the spirit pill and recovering as before, after eating the restoration fruit sent by the Shangguan family, her cultivation has now been successfully promoted to the primary level of the foundation building period.
And she is still a single-line fire spirit root, and she is already talented, but she was overly spoiled by Shangguan Wan before and she slacked off her cultivation, and this time she was beaten and her mind changed.
She used to just take bullying Si Jiuyi as fun, but now looking at her more and more beautiful face, she is even more jealous.
In the past, Si Jiuyi was a transparent person, he only knew how to please her, and then hid in his house all day long, waiting for her to bully. Now Si Jiuyi began to go out, began to appear in everyone's eyes without flinching, and became no longer afraid of her. When did this change begin? It seems that after Weihe and Weiyu rescued her from the Luoxia Mountains, she became different.
Is it really like what her mother said, she had an adventure in the mountains?
"Silence!" A deep voice came from the martial arts field, interrupting Si Yao'er's thoughts.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the Great Elder had already strode onto the competition platform.
As soon as he appeared, the scene fell silent. As a strong person in the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period, the prestige of the Great Elder in the Si family is no less than that of the head of the family, Si Hao.
And the Jindan Stage Great Perfection is already the strongest of the three empires, and there are also people in the Chiling Continent who have cultivated in the Yuan Infant Stage, but most of them are cultivating in the sect.
There are too many things to think about in the world, and they can't calm down and cultivate at all.
"This year, there are a total of fifty people from our Si family who have signed up to participate in the competition of the three major families, and today's talent test will screen out disciples who have more than three miscellaneous spirit roots and who have cultivated below the primary level of the Qi refining period, without further ado, I hope you can all pass smoothly."
To put it bluntly, the talent test is the spiritual root test, although most people have done it when they are five years old, but it is difficult to ensure that the inspection when they are young is not accurate, or there is a situation of spiritual root mutation.
The Great Elder motioned for the two guards to lift the test stone up, and Si Jiuyi looked at the table-high test stone on the stage with great interest.
She had seen it in Si Jiuyi's memory, but it was the first time she had seen the real thing.
The talent test is very simple, as long as the spiritual power is input into the talent stone, the talent stone will light up the corresponding color according to the type of spiritual root. The fire root is red, the gold root is golden, and the earth root is brown...... The two spiritual roots will light up with two colors, and so on.
After the talent stone was raised, the talent test began.
There are forty-eight people in the side branch who have signed up, plus Si Yao'er and Si Jiuyi, a total of fifty people.
According to the usual strength rankings, Si Jiuyi was squeezed to the end, she didn't care, who made her a "waste material" in everyone's eyes.
One after another, people who finished the test walked off the stage, some people in the audience were happy and some were disdainful, and soon it was the turn of Si Yao'er, who was in the limelight.
As the next heir to the head of the family, many side branches loyal to the Si family are full of expectations for her.
"Single-line fire spirit root, great." The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction, although this kid's character is not good, his talent is still good.
Si Yao'er looked at Si Jiuyi at the back, wanting to see the envy on her face, but she was disappointed, she only saw Si Jiuyi smiling coldly at her, and then turned her head to look at the talent stone.
Si Yao'er was suddenly angry, but it was not good to attack, and her face turned red directly, but Si Jiuyi was wondering if the talent stone could measure his own divine platform?
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Si Yao'er kept comforting herself, you can't kill people in the game, but you can't hurt people, there are people who are seriously injured and killed, and when Dabi gets in the ring, she will let Si Jiuyi know the fate of angering her.
That was also the only way she could justifiably kill Si Jiuyi.
The test of fifty people was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was Si Jiuyi. Nobody cares about her tests, something that's well known, isn't it? Just wait for her to finish the test and announce the list of people who will represent the Si family in half a month.
Si Jiuyi put his hand on the talent stone, and according to Qinglong's instructions, only the fire element was released, and a light red gradually lit up on the talent stone.
"! What a situation! Lit? ”
"I heard that the spiritual root is mutated, can it still grow the day after tomorrow?"
"Who said before that Si Jiuyi has no spiritual root? Have we been deceived? ”
The person who knew that Si Jiuyi really didn't have a spiritual root was also full of countless question marks hovering around - could it be that the spiritual root could really be reborn the day after tomorrow?
Si Jiuyi, who felt that the color was a little light, entered a little spiritual power again, and as soon as this spiritual power was entered, it only took an instant to make effort, and the red light on the talent stone brightened, and the pillar of light went straight to the sky!
It was obviously daytime, but the people who were shaking couldn't open their eyes, and their eyes hurt like knives.
At this time, Si Jiuyi was also so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her hand—because she clearly heard a crisp "click" sound from the talent stone.
She couldn't afford to pay for what seemed like an expensive talent stone right now.
When the light dimmed, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Si Jiuyi again.
When the spiritual power was input just now, everyone saw Si Jiuyi's cultivation: the primary stage of the Qi refining period (covered up by Qinglong). Although it was not too high, they knew that they could not cultivate the previous Si Jiuyi.
In such a short period of time, you can cultivate to the beginning of the Qi refining period, isn't this a genius?
But some people still question Si Jiuyi, people who didn't have a spiritual root suddenly had a spiritual root, did it grow the day after tomorrow? Or is there an opportunity? Or have you been deceiving everyone?
"Excellent! Let's go down! "The Great Elder was also very excited, he didn't know much about this kid, but they checked it together back then, and it was indeed no spiritual root!
He didn't want to preside over any talent tests now, he just wanted to hurry up and go back to study Si Jiuyi's spiritual root.
"Single-line spiritual roots and dual-line spiritual roots, the cultivation is left for twenty-eight people who are at the beginning of the Qi refining period and above, you will represent the Si family to participate in the competition of the three major families in half a month, and the others can retire." The Great Elder's voice was mixed with excitement, no wonder Si Qi's kid has been looking for Si Jiuyi recently, it turns out that he has already found out?
Just as everyone was about to leave, a guard-like man came to the Great Elder and whispered a few words.
The Great Elder who listened frowned.
The Great Elder on the stage glanced at Si Jiuyi deeply before he said to the guard: "Si Jiuyi, a single fire spirit root, a primary cultivation in the Qi refining period. is already qualified to participate in the family competition, so the head of the family doesn't have to worry about her! Seeing that what the Great Elder said was categorical, Si Jiuyi had already stood in the position of promotion, and the guards had to believe this ridiculous fact.
Hum! The Great Elder snorted coldly. Isn't he clear what the head of the house means? Let Si Jiuyi, who has no cultivation, enter the family competition? What is the intention? It's a good thing to say, don't you want to "solve" Si Jiuyi in the family competition? What else did he say to thank Si Jiuyi for having the courage to sign up and make an exception for letting her enter the big competition.
Back then, he didn't agree with Si Hao as the head of the family, what kind of development can a family leader who competes with little girls all day long?
