Even if he knew that the Xuan Qi test had begun for a long time in the main hall of the Xuan Temple in Xinling Town, Long Chen still insisted on running towards home, he was now eager to know if something had happened to his parents, as for the Xuan Qi test, if he really missed it, it was a big deal to wait two more years to go to Qingtian City to participate in the alternate test for the age of eight to ten years.

It's just that when Long Chen ran to the small hill in front of his house, he saw Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun waiting outside the fence at a glance, the two seemed to have not slept all night, Long Linyuan's eyes were deep, and there were obviously a few more gray hairs on his sideburns, and although Xiao Yun still looked so calm, he still couldn't hide the faint tears.

After seeing Long Chen, who was covered with blood stains all over his body, Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun ran over at the same time, asked with a worried face, and finally found that Long Chen was indeed okay before he breathed a sigh of relief, and then Long Linyuan picked up Long Chen and carried it on his back without saying a word, and hurriedly ran towards the Xuanmiao in Xinling Town.

Long Linyuan knew that his son had been waiting for the day of the Xuan Qi test for a long time, just like he had back then, even if there were still many things to ask Long Chen, the matter of the Xuan Qi test was always the most important event in Long Chen's life.

In the territory of each kingdom on the continent of the sea, there are large and small temples, different scales, some large and some small, and there are also all kinds of gods and goddesses enshrined in them, these gods may be fictitious spiritual sustenance, may also be real figures, or even may be just an ordinary person who has made some small inventions and small contributions.

For the Xuanmiao built at the bottom of the Hainei continent and closest to the common people, the Xuanzong Hall does not require who to worship inside, everything depends on the wishes of the local civilians, and they don't care about these so-called beliefs at all, nor do they charge offerings, and because of this, the Xuanzong Hall has always maintained a transcendent and mysterious status, completely rooted in the hearts of everyone in the Hainei Continent, and cannot be shaken.

The Xuan Temple in Xinling Town is not big, located not far from the west of the bazaar, which enshrines a beginner water master who once saved thousands of people in one breath when the Qingrong River burst the embankment, and no one can remember the name of this water master, after all, it happened hundreds of years ago, and it happened that the old Xuan Temple was washed away, so after the new Xuan Temple was established, it was directly worshiped as a god in the image of the junior water master.

In the process of continuous renovation of the Xuan Temple, the deeds and abilities of this water master have also been continuously expanded, and now the statue enshrined in it is basically no longer humanoid, and has become a dragon king who steps on the nine dragons and holds a giant tower, and is also crowned with the honorific title of the god of pure water.

In normal times, only some old and weak women and children often come to worship and make wishes, and then there will be a temple fair every summer, and it is also the time when the temple is repainted and renovated, and the purpose is also to hope that when the people of the Xuanzong Temple come to the Xuanmiao to test the children in the town in the next year, they will not offend the people of the Xuanzong Temple because the Xuanzong Temple is too dilapidated.

What's more, the annual renovation of the Xuan Temple is also a decree issued by various kingdoms, and no one dares to disobey it.

Now the three layers outside the Xuan Temple in Xinling Town are surrounded by people, which is more lively than the temple fair every year, and the voices are boiling.

Most of the townspeople crowded at the gate of the Xuanmiao Temple and stood on tiptoe to look at the scene inside the Xuanmiao, and the bold ones simply climbed up the wall outside the Xuanmiao Temple to sit and watch, and some stepped on the branches of the two big trees at the gate, basically 90% of the people in Xinling Town gathered in the Xuanmiao today, and the purpose was also to see if anyone in the town could pass the Xuanzong Palace's Xuanqi test and obtain the admission qualification of the Xuanzong Academy.

The life of ordinary civilians has always been very boring, and the Xuanqi test once every two years has naturally become a day for the townspeople of Xinling Town to adjust their lives.

The Xuan Qi test started at 8 o'clock in the morning, and this year there are a total of 30 children of the right age to be tested in Xinling Town, of course, this is not only in the town, but also includes all households in Xinling Town.

Each test of a child's Xuan Qi, the short one only takes one or two minutes, and the long one may take ten minutes, after all, before the test, the people sent down by the Xuanzong Hall need to make some preparations, and use some special techniques to guide the children to be able to input the Xuan Qi into the hexahedral crystal, some children are easy to guide, and some children are difficult to guide, it all depends on the children's mentality, not panic and fear, must be very calm.

Whenever a child reached out and touched the head-sized hexahedron crystal on the table under the guidance of the people in the Xuanzong Temple, the townspeople who could see all this outside the Xuanzong Temple held their breath and stared at the whole process with wide eyes, hoping to see the hexahedron crystal blooming with colored light, as long as that light could reach a certain level and coincide with the six pieces of light emitting six different colors placed next to it, it would indicate that the child had met the criteria for admission to the Xuanzong Academy.

Of course, it is the parents of these children who are most concerned about all this, and the crowd of onlookers will automatically give way to these parents, and no one will deliberately cause trouble.

After all, this is the most important moment in life, and everyone here has experienced such a thing firsthand, and can understand the expectation that there are so many hopes when I am a parent.

It's just that, as time progresses, after the children touch the hexahedron crystal one by one under the guidance, they either dim directly, and they are not even qualified to obtain the forbidden canon, or they only emit a faint light like fireflies.

The parents couldn't help but ask for a retest, but they were directly expelled by the people of the Xuanzong Palace, and after they left with their children with endless disappointment and regret, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh deeply, and their hearts became less and less expectant.

Of course, in addition to regret, the townspeople inevitably have a kind of joke emotion in their hearts, after all, it is always a sour thing to accept that a usually inconspicuous child suddenly jumped over the dragon gate.

There are fewer and fewer children to be tested, and there is now only a lone child left in the line.

In the eyes of many people, this child seems to have been sentenced to death, after all, this child himself is not outstanding, and he loves to make trouble, and his parents don't even have the identity of a mystery, so miracles can't be turned on this child.

This kid is none other than a strong son who has been a follower behind Long Chen's ass for several years.
