Chapter 18: Soul Measurement
Next, Wu Yue'er asked some parents about the short things, told them again, and then ordered the family to prepare dinner.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, there was a crowd of people in the military yard of Wanghai City, most of them were teenagers about 10 years old, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion maintained order all around, and there were many small traders outside the school yard who were shouting to buy and sell, and the crowd was full of excitement for a while.
At the beginning of the hour, the county lord accompanied a strangely dressed person into the school military field, among these people, the left team was all dressed in Confucian robes, the difference was that the two people who spoke to the county were wearing moon white robes, and the four attendants were sky blue.
The middle team was the most numerous, the two in front of the head were dressed in exquisite costumes, and the eight in the back were all dressed as warriors.
There were only three people on the far right, and the black-robed man led by him was still shrouded in a layer of black fog, giving people an eerie feeling.
The county honored several main figures to sit down on the platform, someone brought tea, Zhao Zhushu walked to the front of the stage, signaled everyone to be quiet, and the noise was quickly suppressed.
Next, the county zun gave a simple lecture, and then announced the start of the Xianmen selection meeting, this scene made Qin Chuan's heart trance, as if he had returned to some occasion in his previous life.
First of all, the three sects should first make a brief introduction, and explain the conditions and number of new disciples, among the six people of the Haoran Sect, a middle-aged man with three strands of beautiful hair under his chin stood up first, coughed twice in a false voice, and an indescribable momentum emanated, and the thousands of people below immediately quieted down, but the black-robed man not far away next to him suddenly snorted coldly, making his awe-inspiring momentum leak a lot.
The middle-aged man didn't care about the actions of the black-robed man, and began to talk eloquently, not loudly, but everyone heard it clearly, and his words seemed to imply some kind of magic, which made people unconvincing.
“...... That's all for the situation of the Haoran Sect, this time our Hai'an Mansion Branch plans to recruit three hundred new disciples in the eighteen counties of Nine Cities, and there are only ten places in Wanghai City, so don't miss the opportunity, if you can enter our Haoran Sect, the sect will naturally try its best to cultivate you, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if you can't continue to practice because of your qualifications, as long as you stay in the sect for ten years, you can directly obtain the fame of Xiucai without exams..."
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and the school military field really reacted strongly because of the last sentence, and more than eighty percent of the people stood in the line in front of the Haoran Sect.
Xiucai in this world is still very rare, Qinjiawan has a large population, but except for the new old master, none of them have ever passed the Xiucai, not even Qin Long, the master of Lizheng, Qin Chuan has to admire Haoran Zong's means, this gimmick is too attractive to ordinary people, with the fame of "Xiucai", even if he fails to pass the examination in the future, he also has the qualification to enter the yamen to do things, and he can go to a rich family to be a teacher at worst.
Haoran Sect threw out the conditions, so that the monks of the two sects next to them looked extremely ugly, whether they can choose a good cultivation immortal seedlings is related to the future inheritance and development of the sect, although it is not too important for them personally, but everyone has to pay attention to face, if people are there like a market, but no one cares about their side, they will inevitably be ridiculed by their peers in the future.
The bearded monk glanced at the other two monks slightly proudly, unhurriedly took out a fan with a diameter of nearly two feet from the storage bag, and continued: "My spirit measuring fan is a magic weapon dedicated to testing the spiritual root, you young people can measure your spiritual root by holding the fan handle for three breaths, and when everyone lines up in turn, I will let people do a demonstration first!"
Behind him, a blue-robed young man walked out and held the handle of the fan for three breaths, and as a result, four fan bones glowed, of which the green was the brightest and the yellow was the darkest.
"See, this means that his spiritual root is a four-attribute miscellaneous spiritual root, but the wood spiritual root is good, which is not bad!"
Qin Chuan had a realization in his heart, this so-called checking the qualification of cultivating immortals is not only to see whether the spiritual root is pure or mixed, but also to see the strength of the spiritual root, this is like a tree, of course, it is not easy to grow into a tree with many branches, but if one of the branches becomes the main trunk, there is also hope to grow into a towering tree.
The test did not begin immediately, after all, the other two sects had not yet spoken.
I don't know if it was stimulated by the Haoran Sect, the Sea King Sect threw out an extremely nerve-stimulating condition at the beginning: all the disciples who chose the Sea King Sect could pay a settlement fee of one hundred taels of silver in advance, and the number of students enrolled was twenty.
When this condition was exported, there was a "bang", half of the people who were originally standing in the team of Haoran Sect arrived in the team of the Sea King Sect, it is no wonder that these teenagers chose so much, for some people with poor families, one hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of four for several years, compared to the "Xiucai" fame that can only be obtained after more than ten years, many people are more willing to choose the benefits in front of them.
The Sea King Sect threw out this condition, I have to say that they have pondered people's hearts very thoroughly, and they are worthy of being a business-based immortal cultivation sect, and seeing this situation, the good mood of the monks of the Haoran Sect naturally does not have much left.
Some people are still waiting, hoping that the Yama Sect can give more favorable conditions, but the strange thing is that the black-robed monk seems to have become calm, except for the fact that there is no restriction on the number of people, the other conditions are not favorable, and they are not attractive at all compared to the first two sects.
Since then, the three test teams have basically been decided, the teams in front of Haoran Sect and Sea King Sect are about 1,200 or 300 people, and the team in front of Yama Sect is only 200 people, the monks of the three sects did not say anything, Sea King Sect took out a palm-shaped magic weapon, and Yama Sect took out a disc-shaped magic weapon, and the test officially began.
The first to come out on top was the Haoran Sect, when the fourth boy was measured, the spirit measuring fan emitted a five-colored light, but these five kinds of light were relatively dim, obviously the spirit root situation was not very good, and the monk who presided over the selection put the young man in a position to be determined.
Time passed minute by minute, and the young man with no spiritual root left depressedly under the leadership of his family, and it was not until noon that seven young people with spiritual roots appeared, and one of the three spiritual roots with the best spiritual roots fell on the Sea King Sect.
Qin Chuan and the Zhao family brothers and sisters were relatively at the back, and Wu Yue'er brought someone to bring delicious meals for more than a dozen teenagers from Qinjiawan to enjoy, some of the teenagers ate very little, obviously nervous about this test.
Gao's tide appeared in the afternoon, and a family surnamed Fang suddenly appeared two teenagers who had detected the spiritual root, one of them was still a good seedling of the immortal cultivator of the two spiritual roots of Jinmu and Wood, and the beautiful bearded monk of the Haoran Sect took all of them under his door.
The Sea King Sect is also not bad, and found a three-spirit root, a four-spirit root, and two five-spirit root teenagers, and at this time, all the two hundred teenagers in front of the Yama Sect were tested, and only four people were measured to have a spirit root, and the best situation of the spirit root was only the four-line miscellaneous spirit root with outstanding water attributes, and the three monks of the Yama Sect were drinking tea while paying attention to the situation of the other two factions, and they didn't seem to show embarrassment.
As the sun sets, it is finally Qin Chuan's turn to be a group of people, but the situation is a little bad, Haoran Sect has already measured eleven people with spiritual roots, three of which are pending, which means that there are only two places left at most.
Zhao Jie was the first to play before the teenagers in Qinjiawan, and in the crowd of onlookers, Zhao Zhushu and Wu Yue'er both clenched their hands, and watched their sons hold the spirit fan, obviously more nervous than the parties, and when the spirit fan had a four-color light, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Jie, the four spiritual roots of gold, water, wood and earth, the strength of the spiritual roots is weak on average, to be determined!" In one sentence, the couple's hearts hung again, and Zhao Jie, who had always been arrogant, suddenly became extremely ugly, and walked to the pending position in despair.
The next one is Zhao Qian, the little girl doesn't know if it's because of her big nerves or her psychological quality, she has been looking around, and sometimes she plays tricks on the teenagers in Qin Chuan and Qinjiawan, she doesn't seem to be nervous at all, and when she arrives on the stage, she first plays with the spirit measuring fan for a while, and then starts the test until the blue-robed monk urges her.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths!
After three breaths, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted on the fan, adding a magnificent color to the vast twilight.
With a sudden "Teng", the bearded monk and his companion stood up together, and the spirit measuring directors of the Sea King Sect and the Yama Sect also couldn't sit still.
"Heavenly Spirit Root, Water Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root!"
The monks no longer had the same calmness as before, and they all gathered around, but the people of the Sea King Sect and the Yama Sect were still separated by the monks of the Haoran Sect, and they had to return to their original positions in a sneer, but the heat in their eyes was still difficult to hide.
The bearded monk directly grabbed Zhao Qian's small hand and looked left and right, as if he was looking at a treasure, no wonder he lost his temper, an immortal seedling of the Heavenly Spirit Root, the probability of one in a billion, actually let him touch it, it is impossible not to be excited in his heart, like this kind of qualification, as long as there is no mistake, it is basically no problem to condense the golden pill, even if it is cultivated into a Yuan Infant There is also a half chance, with this incense love, make friends with this future great monk, then in the future......
While he was in reverie, a weak voice came from his ear, "Uncle, you hurt me!"
"Ahh I'm sorry, your name is Zhao Qian, right, you can call me Senior Brother Lu in the future!"
"Hehe, I'm your Senior Brother Sun!" the Confucian-robed monk next to him also interjected.
(Note: Normally, a new beginner disciple should call the Zhuji monk Uncle Shi, but Zhao Qian will definitely become the personal disciple of Jin Dan and even the Yuanying Ancestor, so he is one generation higher than the ordinary disciple)
Zhao Qian called sweetly, "Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Sun!" and then pointed at Zhao Jie, "That's my brother, I want to be with him!"
"Oh, that's no problem, it's as it should be!" The two were very willing to sell the Future Star another favor, and Zhao Jie became the tenth selected new disciple from the pending, which means that all the ten places in the Haoran Sect were used up!
