Chapter 2 Rare Spiritual Roots
Finally it was the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the spirit testing conference started early.
Halfway up the main peak, there is the Family Square.
The annual spirit testing conference is taking place here to test the spiritual roots of the descendants of the Lin family monks and mortal children.
It goes without saying that the descendants of the monks in the family lived with the monks on the family mountain before there was any spirit detection.
Mortal children live in mortal towns or villages, not far from their families, but it would be too dangerous for these children to come to the family to test their spiritual roots.
So the Lin family stipulates that in towns close to the family, parents are responsible for bringing their children of school age to the clan mountain to test their spiritual roots.
For small towns or villages that are particularly far away, monks stationed nearby will be sent to detect spirits once a year. The family will reward the stationed monks with certain contribution points.
The square covers an area of more than ten acres and can accommodate two to three thousand people at a time.
Every year, Zushan Spiritual Root Testing is a task issued by the family. Clan members with relatively stable personalities receive the family task and are responsible for testing the spiritual roots of all children.
"Next!"
"No spiritual roots."
"Next!"
The speaker was Lin Maoxiang, the fourteenth-ranked Mao generation. This year Received the task of measuring spiritual roots.
I just don’t know if he is unlucky or if these children have shallow immortality. Of the more than 800 children he has tested, only one has spiritual roots, and he has five spiritual roots.
"I wonder what happens next? The rest are the descendants of the monks on the mountain. There should be quite a few with spiritual roots!" Lin Maoxiang thought this way.
At this time, Lin Qing followed her parents and lined up among the people at the back to test their spiritual roots. She looked anxiously at the team in front, watching the children one after another going up for the test, and one after another with sad faces. Coming down, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Don't worry, Qing'er, your grandfather said that you have spiritual roots, relax!" her mother said comfortingly.
"What happens to your spiritual roots is determined by heaven and cannot be changed by human power! Regardless of whether your spiritual roots are good or bad, your mother and I will do our best to help you cultivate to immortality." His father comforted him.
Lin Qing responded absently.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally Lin Qing's turn.
Lin Qing walked to the spirit-detecting platform and stood still, first saluting Lin Maoxiang.
“Nephew Lin Qing, I have met my fourteenth uncle!”
Are you from the fifteenth brother’s family? Stretch out your hands! Place it on the Ouija board. ”
Lin Maoxiang placed the soul-measuring plate, and Lin Qing put his hands down on the surface of the soul-measuring plate, waiting to detect the spiritual roots.
"Fourteenth Uncle, is that right?"
"Well, that's right."
Lin Maoxiang injected a stream of spiritual energy into the soul measuring board, stimulating the pressure in Lin Qing's Dantian. Spiritual roots.
On the Ouija board, there are five crystal pillars covered with scales, all of different colors.
White represents metal, green represents wood, blue represents water, red represents fire, and yellow represents earth.
Seeing that there was only a soul measuring plate representing the five elements on it, Lin Qing knew that it was a low-level soul plate.
Only large sects or Jindan families may have high-level soul-finding boards. This can be regarded as a method for the sect to control the affiliated families! Lin Qing was thinking wildly.
Lin Qing placed his hands on the spirit board.
After waiting for a moment, the five crystal pillars on the measuring plate emitted colorful light. Lin Maoxiang was stunned for a moment, and then he recovered.
Facing Lin Qing, he said: "Each attribute of the Five Spiritual Roots is twenty points. The attribute points are distributed so evenly. This Five Spiritual Roots is quite rare."
Lin Qing didn't even know how he got out. He kept thinking about three words in his mind: "Five Spiritual Roots!"
When he came out, his parents came over and saw that his face was not good. , Lin Maosheng sighed, knowing that Lin Qing's qualifications may not be very good.
He said to Xu Wenying and Lin Qing: "Let's talk about it when we go home. Your grandpa and the others are still waiting at home!"
Everyone returned home, grandpa, second uncle Lin Maobin, and aunt Lin Maoting was waiting for news while holding her sister in her arms. Everyone gathered around Lin Qing, and Lin Qing repeated what her fourteenth uncle had said in a frightened manner. Grandpa listened, and after a moment of silence, he said with a serious face: "It's not that Wulinggan cannot cultivate immortality, it's just that the process may be more bumpy.
But throughout the ages, there are many people who have achieved great power through the five spiritual roots. Others can do it, why can’t you?
If you want to cultivate immortality without this perseverance, even if you are given three spiritual roots, you will not be able to reach the foundation building stage.
Think about it for yourself! When you want to pass, come see me again.
You guys, don’t hang around here, let him think about it by himself. "
The second uncle stood up and patted Lin Qing's shoulder, "It's okay. The worst thing is that the second uncle will hunt a few more monsters in the future, so you don't have to worry about running out of cultivation resources. ”
Auntie also touched Lin Qing's head and said, "Don't be discouraged, Qing'er. In the future, auntie will produce some elixirs suitable for refining Qi Gathering Pills and Marrow Cleansing Pills.
The pile can also stack you up. Don't think too much when you are in the late stage of anger." After saying that, he hugged his sister Lin Ling and went out.
The parents didn't say anything. The mother just glanced at Lin Qing worriedly, while the father touched Lin Qing's head and walked out.
Now Lin Qing was the only one left. Lin Qing returned to her room blankly, lying on the bed, looking out the window blankly.
Actually, he understands all the principles, but since he was born in a family that cultivates immortals, he understands the five spiritual roots better. The difficulties he has to face are really not ordinary difficulties!
It may even drag down the family, just like what my second uncle and aunt said just now.
One hunts monsters, and the other grows elixirs and herbs. These were originally their own cultivation resources, but now they are prepared to be given to Lin Changqing.
This is a kind of drag. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens more times, the impact and drag on them will only be greater.
So Lin Changqing is really depressed to the extreme. His luck is really bad. This can be regarded as the beginning of hell difficulty!
Lying in bed all afternoon, I finally adjusted my mood.
The main reason is that he tried hard to convince himself that in this world, he is very lucky to be able to practice, much luckier than those who have to leave the ancestral mountain.
God allowed me to reincarnate here and allowed me to be lucky enough to live another life. It was already a blessing from fate.
And I still care about my family. This is already many times better than in the previous life. There is really nothing to be depressed about.
Grandpa also asked me to figure it out. If I go to find him again, maybe there will be a surprise for me!
After thinking about it, I quickly got up and opened the door to the living room.
My parents, second uncle, and aunt were all in the living room, and everyone was talking about something.
Seeing them, Lin Qing hurriedly said: "Father, mother, second uncle, and aunt, I have made you worry. Qing'er wants to understand. I will work harder to practice in the future and strive to reach the foundation building stage as soon as possible. "
After hearing this, the mother said with a smile: "Is this right? My son has been so smart since he was a child, how could he not understand this?"
My aunt also said: " Just think about it, and you don’t have to worry anymore. Don’t worry, my aunt promised you that the elixir will not escape and will not make you practice too much slower than others.”
Second uncle exerts his strength. He patted Lin Qing's shoulder and said, "Well done, this is the good son of the Lin family, what does he look like in the morning!"
His father touched Lin Qing's head and said, "Qing'er, when you grow up, practice hard and learn more skills, so that you can protect your mother, aunt and sister in the future."
After hearing this, Lin Qing felt ashamed and her face turned faint. Hong said seriously: "I will protect all of you from now on."
After hearing this, everyone laughed. The second uncle patted his chest, "Your second uncle is very powerful, no need to You protect me, and you can take care of me till the end of your life."
"Okay, no problem! From now on, I will be responsible for taking care of my second uncle and my aunt."
My father patted my second uncle hard. "You want someone to take care of you in old age, why don't you give birth to your own child? Don't steal my son."
The second uncle awkwardly touched the place where his eldest brother touched him, "Didn't I find the right one? It's probably hard to tell in the future. Why don't we make a reservation in advance!"
"I'm willing to give it to the second uncle. Retirement." Lin Qing said seriously.
After hearing this, the second uncle laughed heartily and patted Lin Qing's shoulder hard, "Good boy, my love for you is not in vain. In the future, the second uncle will hunt more monsters and earn you cultivation resources."
The father ignored his second uncle and said to Lin Qing: "Qing'er is sensible! Ask your mother to get you something delicious, have a good rest at night, and go to your grandpa tomorrow."
Lin Qing responded and went back to the room to rest after eating.
After taking the spiritual root test today, I was in a low mood and didn’t pay attention. I wonder how a few friends of the same age on the mountain were doing!
Can I stay in Zushan to practice? Lin Qing thought a little worriedly. I hope there will be a good result tomorrow. I lay in bed thinking about it and slowly fell asleep.
