Chapter 4: The Spiritual Root Test
In the Qinghua Hall, Xiao Xuan and Ling Zihan had already taken the lead in taking a seat on the two wooden chairs in the middle, and then the seven elders also sat down on the chairs on either side of them.
Under the auspices of one of the elders, the young disciples waiting for the test lined up and stood in front of a transparent square crystal in the middle of the main hall.
This crystal is the heavenly crystal, which existed with the establishment of the Qinghua Valley, although it is said that everything between heaven and earth is created by the five elements, but this heavenly crystal does not contain any of the five elements.
What kind of element is transmitted inside, it will show the color of what element, in view of this characteristic, Tianjing is widely used by the current immortal cultivation world to test the attribute of the monk's spiritual root.
In addition, people did not find that he had any special uses, all major sects have such crystals, that is, some smaller sects and immortal cultivation families also have some, so Tianjing is not very precious.
However, if Xiao Yu's memories of his previous life hadn't been sealed, he would definitely have discovered that this was not a celestial crystal, this ordinary spar that was useless in the eyes of most monks turned out to be a very cherished phantom attribute spar.
The phantom attribute spar can fuse the other eight elements of the nine elements, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and illusion, which is the treasure of cultivating the phantom attribute ** monk, even in ancient times, it was extremely cherished, and even more precious than the best spirit stone.
It's just that there are very few monks nowadays who cultivate the phantom attribute**, and even the monks who cultivate the illusory attribute** are mostly not very aware of its preciousness, so it is not so sought-after now.
Of course, there is no way for Xiao Yu to discover the preciousness of this piece of heavenly crystal now.
Seeing that the spiritual root test was about to begin, all the children became excited, even the adults standing on the side of the main hall were full of anticipation, looking at their children with gentle or nervous eyes.
The reason why they were so nervous and so looking forward to it was because once their children were tested to have no spiritual roots, or if their spiritual root attributes were particularly poor and they couldn't go far on the path of cultivation, these children would be sent out of Qinghua Valley to the places where mortals lived.
The resources for cultivating immortals in the Green Birch Valley are limited, and at the same time, it is not suitable for too many mortals to live.
Mortals have a limited lifespan, even in a place full of spiritual energy, that is, they will die at the age of 100, and immortal cultivators, even if they are only immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, the longevity is nearly two hundred years old, and if the spiritual energy is full today, it makes the monk's longevity rise sharply, and it is normal for the monk's longevity to reach four or five hundred years old during the foundation building period.
Therefore, they all have plenty of time to advance, if they let all mortals live in the valley, not to mention that they can't live in so many people at all, even if they can live, but after a hundred years, watching their children die because of aging, even if most of the immortal cultivators are unkind, they will inevitably be very sad and affect the state of mind of cultivation.
For immortal cultivators, the state of mind is very important, if there is no flaw in the state of mind, when the promotion is made, the influence of the demons will be very small, and the promotion will be more grasped.
The higher the monk's realm, the greater the influence of the demons when he is promoted, and there are even many monks whose true qi has reached perfection, but because their mood is not enough, they cannot advance, and they don't even dare to advance.
Because he was forcibly promoted, but he couldn't resist the invasion of the demons in his heart, he would eventually go mad and fall into the abyss.
Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, whether it is the main sect, or some smaller sects or immortal cultivation families, they will build some cities suitable for mortals to live in near their cultivation treasures, and strictly prohibit immortal cultivators from entering, in order to prevent them from being reluctant to visit their children, so that the meaning of building mortal cities will be lost.
The disciples also understand the truth, so once the children do not have spiritual roots, they will be sent away, even if they are reluctant, they are helpless, and the cultivation of immortals cannot have too many seven emotions and six desires, which is the common sense that every immortal cultivator knows.
Qinghua Valley, like those sects, also has such rules.
Under the auspices of that elder, all the children understood the way to test the spiritual root, and at this time, Xiao Yu temporarily put aside his thoughts and began to pay attention to the first child who started the test here.
This is a delicate-looking little girl, wearing ordinary clothes, obviously not the clothes of the disciples of the valley, but like the clothes of mortals.
This little girl is from Qinghua City, a mortal city in Qinghua Valley, in fact, not only the children in the valley who take the spirit root test every time, but also the school-age children in those mortal cities also have to participate in the test.
Because even if the parents do not have the spiritual root, the child does not necessarily have the spiritual root, in the same way, the parents have the spiritual root, and the spiritual root is very good, there is no guarantee that the child will have the spiritual root, but in this case, the probability of having the spiritual root is greater, so some adults will be so nervous, and the parents of those children who have tested the spiritual root seem much calmer.
I saw that the handsome-looking little girl blushed, walked to Tianjing shyly, stretched out a white and tender little hand, pressed it on the spar, and then closed her eyes, and tried her best to send out a trace of spiritual power and inject it into the spar.
In fact, before the Spiritual Root Test, these children were taught an extremely simple method, and the function of this method was to test the spiritual root.
Even mortals can cultivate, but whether it is a mortal or a child with a spiritual root, after cultivating, the spiritual power cannot remain in the body, but only instantly triggers a trace of spiritual power, and Xiao Yu also knows this method, so he is not very surprised.
But he and some of the children in the valley had already started cultivating, so they didn't need to learn this set of techniques. And this set of spells is basically a magic decision prepared for those children sent by mortal cities and children in the valley who have been confirmed to have no spiritual roots.
I saw that the spiritual power entered the spar, and the spar instantly emitted a three-color halo, one green, one yellow, and one red, the green halo was obviously darker, and the other two halos were obviously much darker, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't detect it at all.
Then I heard the elder who presided over the spiritual root test announce loudly: "The three attribute spiritual roots of wood, earth, and fire, the wood attribute spiritual roots are the main, and the middle grade is on the top of the qualification. ”
Hearing the elder say this, the little girl's eyes flashed with tears in excitement, and her little body trembled slightly and returned to the team, thinking in her heart, "I can finally cultivate immortals, and I will not disappoint my mother and father's ardent hopes." ”
Looking at her parents who were not qualified to enter the main hall outside the door, her heart was full of joy and a little sour, she knew that she was going to be separated from her parents from today onwards, so the joy just now turned into bitterness, and the tears in her eyes flowed down without fighting.
The second one who stepped forward for the test was a very clever little boy, judging from his clothes, he should be a descendant of the disciple of the valley, and he had lived in the valley since he was a child, so he was not as restrained as the little girl just now.
He walked to the spar with a smile, pressed his little hand on the spar, and also closed his eyes to inject an aura into the spar, only to see that the spar also emitted a three-color halo, one gold, one yellow, and one black.
The black and yellow halos are almost masked by the golden halo and are not very clear.
So I heard the elder say in a loud voice: "The three spiritual roots of gold, earth, and water are mainly metallic, and the middle grade is on the upper qualification. ”
The little boy also happily ran to a middle-aged man, hugged his father's leg as if coquettish, and the middle-aged man also happily stroked the top of the little boy's head.
Xiao Yu thought in his heart at this time: "What grade of spiritual root am I? My parents seem to be very worried about my and my younger brother's spiritual root attributes! Could it be that my spiritual root is too poor to cultivate immortals, so my progress is so slow!"
Xiao Yu was speculating wildly on the side, but Ling Zihan and Xiao Sui were full of nervousness, and when they saw Xiao Yu, they always shook their heads and sighed helplessly.
