In the early morning, the entire ancient kiln mountain was still shrouded in haze.

At the foot of Guyao Mountain, in front of the village called Xiaoyao Village, several children of six or seven years old are waiting in a row, and their eyes will look at the mountain path from time to time.

It's just hazy now, but there is not the slightest hint of sleepiness on the faces of these children, and some of them are even a little excited.

Next to these children is an old man on crutches, slightly thin, cleanly dressed, and the white hair on his head is meticulously combed, looking very energetic.

He looked at these children and smiled: "Cheer up, today is very important to you, if any of you can be favored by the adults of the "Xianmen", the future will be very good, you don't have to live in a small mountain village, you can go to a big place to be a decent person." ”

After the old man finished speaking, the expectations on the faces of these children seemed to be a little more, and they hoped that they could be chosen by the adults of the Xianmen and live a decent life from now on.

The old man looked at the anticipation on the faces of these children, smiled with satisfaction, his eyes swept over these children, and then, the smile on his face couldn't help but pause.

He opened his mouth to the first child and asked, "Why didn't Zhou Chen come?"

The kid who was asked obviously didn't know and shook his head.

The old man looked at the other children, and the rest of the children shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

The smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and a trace of anger appeared on his somewhat wrinkled face.

There will be someone late for such an important event today, this is related to their future, if they are lucky enough to be chosen by the adults of the Xianmen, it means that they are superior......

The old man was a little anxious to walk around the entrance of the village, this opportunity was bought by the village at a great price, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the children in the village, if it was missed, there would be no more opportunity to enter the fairy gate.

According to the rules of Xianmen, they only accept children who are six years old and less than seven years old, which means that a person only has one chance in a lifetime.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and at this moment, in the village, a thin little boy was running briskly towards the entrance of the village, carrying a wooden box similar to him on his back.

This thin little boy is Zhou Chen, who is late.

When he came to the entrance of the village, he said breathlessly: "Grandpa the village chief, yes... Sorry I'm late. ”

The village chief glanced at him and wanted to reprimand him, but seeing his sweaty and panting appearance, he sighed, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Let's tidy it up, the adults of the Xianmen will come later." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhou Chen nodded obediently, took off the wooden box on his back, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a coarse cloth handkerchief, and tidied it up.

"Brother Zhou Chen, why are you here!"

At this time, a delicate-looking little girl came to Zhou Chen's side and asked, her big eyes were very smart.

Zhou Chen saw the girl, smiled slightly, and said, "It's taken a long time to clean up the things that grandpa left me." ”

"Fortunately, the adults of the Xianmen haven't come yet, otherwise you will miss the opportunity to enter the Xianmen. There was a hint of grumbling in the girl's tone.

Zhou Chen scratched his head, just smiled innocently.

"How can a small man like him, thin and as wooden as a stick, be chosen by the immortals, I can beat him twice. At this time, a somewhat chubby boy looked at Zhou Chen and said disdainfully.

"Xiya, don't worry about Zhouchen in the future, wait until you grow up to be my daughter-in-law, I'll marry you. The boy said again.

The girl called Xiya glanced at the fat man, there was dissatisfaction on her delicate face, and she said angrily: "Hmph! Dead Wang Zhuang, don't talk about Brother Zhou Chen, you are so ugly, like a little flower pig in the village, who wants to marry you!"

As she spoke, Xiya made a disgusted grimace at Wang Zhuang, then took Zhou Chen's little hand and said, "When I grow up in the future, I want Zhou Chen's brother to be together." ”

......

About half a cup of tea, on the road leading to the outside of the village, two delicately decorated carriages appeared, each of which was pulled by two strong yellow horses, and was slowly driving in the direction of Xiaoyao Village.

The village chief, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw a carriage coming, and hurriedly said to the children: "All cheer up, the adults of Xianmen are here." ”

Reminded by the village chief's voice, the eyes of the group of children instantly looked neatly outside the village with a look of anticipation.

Finally, the opportunity to decide their future is coming.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, and a middle-aged man in his forties got out of the carriage, dressed gorgeously, with smart movements, and obviously not weak.

When the village chief saw someone coming down from the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him, his wrinkled face was full of smiles, and he said in a respectful tone: "My lord, I finally looked forward to you!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the village chief, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "There are a few school-age children in your village this year!"

The village chief hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, there are seven school-age children in our village today. ”

As he spoke, the village chief pointed to the children who were lining up at the entrance of the village.

The middle-aged man glanced at the seven children at the entrance of the village and said, "Village Chief, there are a lot of children in your village, and you also know that the quota of our Vientiane Sect is very precious, so many people ......."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw the village chief take out a money bag and stuff it into the middle-aged man's hand, with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man put it away with his money bag, and his cold expression eased slightly.

Came to those children and said, "I am Zhao Wu of the Vientiane Sect, I am going to test you now for the spiritual root, only those who have the spiritual root will have the opportunity to enter the Vientiane Sect." ”

Hearing the words 'Vientiane Sect', their eyes all radiated light, and their faces yearned, Vientiane Sect is a famous sect in this area, and I don't know how many people are proud to enter Vientiane Sect.

I saw Zhao Wu take out a shiny crystal ball, the crystal ball was the size of a football, and the whole body was crystal clear, only to hear Zhao Wu say slowly: "This is the spirit testing ball, which is a magic weapon used to test your spiritual root." The level of your spiritual root will be detected through the spirit test ball, and the spiritual root from high to low is not the third level of meteor, silver moon, and sun. The level of the spiritual root determines the speed of your cultivation in the future and the height you can reach. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wu looked at the first child and said, "You are the first to try." ”

The child was slightly stunned, and then came to Zhao Wu's side with some nervousness, a little overwhelmed, and asked timidly, "Lord Zhao, what should I do?"

Zhao Wudao: "Just put your palm on the spirit ball, but remember not to resist no matter what you feel, otherwise it will affect the test result." ”

The kid nodded, placing his palm on the orb.

After a while, there was not a trace of light in the spirit testing ball, Zhao Wu shook his head and looked at the second child, "You come!"

The second child still failed to cause a change in the Orb, followed by the third and fourth, but the result still did not change.

The village chief on the side looked at this scene, and his eyebrows did not wrinkle, this time it cost a lot of money to let the people of the Vientiane Sect come. The village chief prayed silently in his heart, hoping that someone could make the spirit test ball light up and have the opportunity to enter the Vientiane Sect, otherwise the money in the village would be spent in vain, which would be half a year's income for many people.

Zhao Wu's face was very indifferent, he had not encountered this situation, such a thing as a spiritual root was hard to find, not everyone had it, everyone who had a spiritual root was a person who was favored by heaven and earth.

Zhao Wu looked at the last three, a somewhat fat child, and motioned for him to try.

Seeing the results of the previous four people, Wang Zhuang was a little nervous in his heart at this time, and put his palm up, and after a while, he saw a faint light slowly lit up in the spirit testing ball.

When the village chief on the side saw this scene, he was ecstatic, finally someone had a spiritual root, and the money in the village was not spent in vain. As long as one child can enter the fairy gate, the benefits to their village can be described as huge.

Zhao Wu's expression didn't change much, and he was still very indifferent. It's just the lowest level of spiritual roots.

Wang Zhuang withdrew his palm, his face was filled with excitement and ecstasy, I actually have a spiritual root, which means that I have a chance to enter the Vientiane Sect.

His eyes looked at Zhou Chen, who was at the end, and his lips moved slightly as if he was provocative, can you do it, little wooden stick.

Zhou Chen seemed very calm, he was a little more mature than his peers. Zhou Chen is an orphan, adopted by the old pharmacist in the village since he was a child, when he was four years old, the old pharmacist died, and since then Zhou Chen has begun to live independently.

He didn't care about Wang Zhuang's provocative gaze, Linggen was a thing that was very demanding, and everything depended on his luck.

Xiya on the side glared at Wang Zhuang a little unkindly, and her eyes seemed to respond, my brother Zhou Chen must be better than you.

"Brother Zhou Chen, you come first!" Xiya said to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen nodded, then came to the spirit test ball, took a deep breath, and then put his palm on the spirit test ball.

I was a little nervous and expectant, and I didn't know if I would have a spiritual root.

The palm of his hand touched the spirit test ball, and suddenly a cool feeling spread all over his body along the palm, making Zhou Chen's body can't help but shake, the cool feeling just spread to the whole body, and there is a stream of heat flowing all over the body along the same path, alternating between hot and cold, feeling very uncomfortable.

At the same time, there were points of light in the orb that slowly lit up, growing larger and larger until it occupied two-thirds of the sphere.

"Silver Moon Level Spirit Root!" Zhao Wu on the side, the expression on his face was slightly moved, and he blurted out.

The Silver Moon-level Spiritual Root was already considered an extremely excellent Spiritual Root in their Vientiane Sect, and if nothing else, they could have the qualification to directly enter the inner gate.

The village chief was also a little stunned and a little disbelieving. The children who had finished the test before had a hint of envy on their faces.

Zhou Chen withdrew his palm and watched the light in the spirit test ball slowly dissipate, with joy on his face, he also had a spiritual root, which seemed to be a good spiritual root.

Returning to Xiya's side, he smiled and said, "Xiaoya, it's your turn." ”

"Hmm!" Xiya smiled sweetly at Zhou Chen and whispered, "Brother Zhou Chen, you are so powerful." ”

Zhou Chen scratched his head with a smile.

Thea came to the Orb and put her palm on it, and it didn't take long for the Orb to light up, and the light took up a third of the orb.

"Another Silver Moon-level Spiritual Root!" At this time, the coldness on Zhao Wu's face completely disappeared, and he was a little unbelievable, this inconspicuous village would actually produce two Silver Moon-level spiritual roots, which meant that there might be two Dharma-Protector-level characters in this village in the future.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Wu's face, the two people who may become the protectors of the Vientiane Sect in the future are necessary to make friends.

"Village Chief, your village is very good today!" Zhao Wu said to the village chief who was stunned there.

The village chief was still immersed in shock at this time, and when he heard Zhao Wu's words, he came back to his senses and smiled at Zhao Wu: "Lord Zhao, you have won the award, and these children are still troublesome for adults to take care of." ”

"Children with spiritual roots, the Vientiane Sect will naturally take care of them. Zhao Wu looked at Zhou Chen and the three of them, and said, "The three of you have the qualifications to enter the Vientiane Sect, and now I want to take you to participate in the entrance assessment of the Vientiane Sect, you are willing to go." ”

"Yes. Wang Zhuang, Zhou Chen, and Xiya nodded at the same time, with excitement in their eyes, with the opportunity to enter the Immortal Gate to change their fate, no one would give up.

In that case, let's pack our things and get ready to go......
