Chapter 128 The worse generation (33, thanks to the leader of the food-grade salted fish)
Noticing An Jing's slight expression, Nian Quan quickly waved his hand and said: "Please don't mind, I don't mean any harm... That's it, this issue is actually common knowledge in the city, so if you don't know... you must be a wilderness person. "
He lowered his head, stared at the table, and whispered in a more complicated tone: "Because the identification certificate of the spiritual root requires money."
"...Isn't it possible that it wasn't tested at birth? I think you also know that you have Tianlinggen."
An Jing was a little confused, but Nianquan explained in detail: "Yes, I am indeed. The appraisal is free, but the appraisal 'certificate' is not - if you want to receive subsidies or go to a higher education institution, I You must go to the Central Hospital and the General Political Bureau to get two certificates.”
"This piece proves that my spiritual roots are sound and I have never suffered from serious diseases. There have been no accidents in the past ten years. Even if my spiritual root level is reduced, I am still a good cultivator in Xuanye City worth cultivating."
"The other certificate proves that I'm still a Tianling root. It is a stamp for the previous certificate and has legal effect. This one is the most important. Without this certificate, no college or company will be affected by my Tianling root." Give me extra points.”
——Don't be too ridiculous!
Hearing this, An Jing still felt unbelievable: "Proof? Tianlinggen?"
"Are you joking at this moment?"
"No...you misunderstood."
Seeing An Jing's reaction, Nian Quan sighed. He became more and more certain that the other party was an inexperienced wilderness genius: "This is actually easy to understand. The rules in the city are different from those outside."
The young man glanced at the palm print on his palm with some disappointment, then shook his head and said: "In the wilderness, a tribe has a sparse population and insufficient resources. It is rare for a genius to appear. Even if it is not from the same tribe, it is very important."
"The tribes in the wilderness need a genius to lead them to live under the invasion of evil spirits and human and demon robbers, so as long as they have talent and no need to prove anything, they are geniuses and wealth."
"But in Xuanye City..."
He laughed with self-mockery: "There are so many talented people, so what does Tianlinggen mean?"
"Being valued if you have talent? Being favored by an expert? Being accepted as your direct descendant? Then reaching the sky in one step and reaching the pinnacle of life? How is that possible?"
With a chuckle, Nianquan narrated as calmly as the still water in the pool, recounting these words that may have lingered in his heart a thousand times: "Why should those real masters accept me as their disciples? Have you taught me the secret techniques of Taoism that you have practiced for hundreds of years?”
"Am I their son or a relative? Am I the heir of their boss's benefactor, or am I some noble bloodline that has been inherited from ancient times and is now returning to our ancestors?"
"Why do they want me to embark on the road, become a great monk, compete with their descendants, become their enemy or someone who has to be their equal?"
"Just because I have Tianlinggen? How is it possible? There may not be many Heavenly Spiritual Roots among the high-ranking families, but there is always a shortage of children with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and geniuses with all kinds of alien Spiritual Roots. "
"Yes, Tianlinggen requires fewer resources, but precisely because our children do not have Tianlinggen and resources are limited, it is even more important to cultivate the geniuses in our own family."
"My mother always felt that she didn't have enough money to get me a certificate to prove my talent, so I couldn't be recommended to Jiuxuan No. 1 Middle School. But in fact, none of the students and teachers knew that the No. 1 Middle School only accepts people from the Xian tribe and Miao people. The worst He is also a descendant of a poor family whose ancestors once came out of Zi Mansion.”
"I am from Xiacheng District. I don't even have enough spiritual energy for daily practice, and I don't have the support of various elixirs and spiritual weapons. Even the family-inherited martial arts is just a pupil technique. How can I join them?" What about studying?”
As he said this, although Nianquan's voice was calm, one could hear a trace of deep-seated despair: "Is it amazing to have Tianlinggen and excellent talent? I am smart and sharp, can draw inferences about other cases from one case, and can get it if I am good at Taoism. Resources? That’s ridiculous.”
"The world is so big, how can it be so short of geniuses? What it lacks are opportunities and resources. Those things are never enough, and it's not my turn."
"Mom... she really... doesn't need to be so tired." "I know that the reason why she took the risk is to save money for me... but really, she really doesn't need to be so tired. It's useless... I just want us to be safe together..."
Nianquan didn't shed tears, he just covered his eyes with his arms and choked up for a moment.
The young man who had seen through all this early understood from the beginning that this was probably what he had wanted to say to his mother for a long time. It was just because of his mother's expectant eyes and face full of hope that he could not bear to destroy the other person's hope, so he suppressed it in his heart.
But before this depression could be released, the hope became the mother's reminder.
Nianquan is even hating... hating that he is actually the spiritual root that can make his mother raise her hopes and then take risks.
"I see."
But An Jing somewhat understood.
Tianyuan World was a once prosperous world of cultivating immortals. The inheritance of various cultivation methods has been very complete, and there is no shortage of secret laws and techniques. It has even achieved the unimaginable "cultivation for all", and everyone can practice it.
Even if you don't have spiritual roots, can't refine your Qi, let alone build your foundation, you can still practice your Qi, strengthen your body, and live for two decades. This is also the state of most people in the Tianyuan world, and they can be regarded as monks. .
It’s just that after the catastrophe, the catastrophe collapsed, the demonic energy invaded, and various resources were in short supply.
But the number of spiritual roots is not large at all.
Rather than looking for more geniuses to join your family and make the clan bigger and stronger, you should first take care of your own spiritual heirs and stabilize your family's position in this post-catastrophe world.
This is not a world of competition about who is better.
This is an era that has entered a ‘worse than worse’ situation.
"How disgusting."
An Jing and Sword Spirit said at the same time, each of them resonated with each other very much.
"No, no, no, actually this is normal." Nianquan thought that An Jing was aggrieved for him, and quickly raised his hand to pour tea for An Jing: "Jiao Qian Shen Shen, it was me who was rude...forgot These words."
At the same time, Sword Spirit was communicating with An Jing.
"Leave a relationship?" An Jing said in his heart with some doubts: "What does this mean? Help this Tianlinggen? I don't mind, his mother and himself are indeed quite destined to me, so They gave me a sum of money, but my spiritual stones are not enough... not to mention that giving him the money would harm him, so I can only keep a few talismans for self-defense."
"There is no need for spiritual stones. What he lacks is not spiritual stones."
The sword spirit shook his head: "You are the sword holder, so of course you have priority in resources - this young man is actually right. In an era of scarce resources, people will allocate resources according to distance, just like I will Make your growth your absolute priority.”
"The world of Tianyuan World is indeed one that makes people shake their heads, but it is in line with the laws of heaven - if they are not descendants of the same race, in this chaotic era, who can believe that a foreign genius will not eat up all the resources and then jump to other places? Where are the people?”
"I was just thinking, An Jing."
The sword spirit 'Conquering Demons and Subduing Evils' said in an unprecedented serious tone: "Your destiny of the Seven Evils, which is destined to overthrow the world and bring disaster to the world...can it be used in this regard?"
