Chapter 13 Detecting Spirit Roots
Chapter 13 Detecting Spirit Roots
The first elder was used to seeing this scene, and said calmly: "6673 people, this year's number is more than in previous years."
"However, the more people there are, the better the probability of detecting the spiritual root. It's only about two days. We have to work harder."
Detecting spiritual roots for children is a tedious task. In previous years, four or five qi-cultivating ninth-level cultivators worked together to detect it, and it only took about a day to complete.
However, because several old uncles died in battle, this year's spirit testing conference relied entirely on Chen Nianzhi and the Great Elder, and the job seemed exhausting.
At first, Chen Nianzhi was still very excited, hoping to find one or two seeds of immortality for the family, but as time passed, he gradually became numb.
After testing more than 1000 people one after another, all of them were mortals without spiritual roots, which made him a little depressed.
Until dusk, Chen Nianzhi touched a young child's arm and probed his spiritual power into his body, but suddenly felt touched.
"what--"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes lit up, revealing a look of surprise, and he probed into the spiritual power again, and he felt a faint spiritual power vaguely.
Seeing Chen Nianzhi's expression, the elder hurriedly walked over, grabbed the young boy's hand, and penetrated the spiritual power into his tendons, and said after a while.
"It's a pity, it's the Four Spiritual Roots."
Chen Nianzhi heard the words, and once again probed the spiritual power into the meridian of the young child, and this time he really sensed four vague spiritualities.
Among the spiritual roots of monks, the four spiritual roots are already in the middle and lower positions. This kind of spiritual roots basically has no potential for cultivation, because the monks of the four spiritual roots are slow in cultivation, and most of them may not be able to break through to the late stage of Qi training in their lifetime. .
Although the spiritual root is relatively poor, no matter what, a young child with spiritual root was finally detected, which is a good start.
The Great Elder kindly asked the young child to be taken aside, and then continued to start testing.
Perhaps Chen Nianzhi got off to a good start, and then the two even detected two young children with spiritual roots again.
Precisely because of this, until the end, the Great Elder was smiling, obviously in a good mood.
This time, the detection of spiritual roots lasted for two days. There were three young children with spiritual roots in total. In addition to the initial four spiritual roots, one of the other two had five spiritual roots. There is one who has three spiritual roots.
This is already quite a good qualification. The Chen family of the three spiritual roots only appears every few years, and this kind of cultivator often has a poor future.
As long as you practice well, even if you can't break through the ninth level of Qi training to become the elder of the family before the age of 60, you will most likely be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training around the age of 70, become the elder of the family, and contribute to the family.
"It's a pity that there are no two spiritual roots."
After the test, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with some regret.
"You boy."
The first elder was a little dumbfounded. It was quite good to have three spiritual roots at a time. In previous years, most of them could only produce one or two.
As for Erlinggen, the Chen family can only produce one in about 20 years on average. The most recent Erlinggen was Chen Qingyuan who joined the Qingyang Sect.
Chen Qingxu shook his head, he glanced at Chen Nianzhi, and said with a smile.
"The test is over here."
"But there are still six towns that need people to test. I can't get out of the town of Pingyang City. You have to do this."
Chen Nianzhi nodded: "Well, I'll leave later."
After hundreds of years of development, the population of Pingyang City has been gradually saturated as early as more than 100 years ago.
Because of the limitations of Pingyang City, at the peak of the Chen family 80 years ago, at a huge cost, with Pingyang County as the center, six first-order spiritual veins were cultivated within hundreds of miles around.
Relying on six first-order small spiritual veins, the Chen family established six small towns, which are now the six towns of Pingyang.
The six towns all have first-order high-grade formations, and the Chen family's mid-qi practice monks sit in town, which is enough to guard against demons below the foundation. It can also be regarded as a security barrier built by the Chen family for Pingyang City.
With these six small towns rooted in the periphery and blocking sporadic monsters, the vast plains within a few hundred kilometers of the hinterland of Pingyang County have become granaries and fertile soil for the descendants of the Chen family in Pingyang County to farm safely for many years.
"The fertile soil of hundreds of miles, the ancestors 80 years ago really had the foresight."
"pity……"
Chen Nianzhi walked across this plain and couldn't help sighing.
If it wasn't for the fact that the chaos of monsters 60 years ago had severely damaged the vitality of the Chen family, and their strength had been damaged by [-]% to [-]%, then they wouldn't be so aggrieved now.
In the eastern wilderness where monsters are rampant and the environment is harsh, this relatively safe and fertile soil is extremely rare.
If these hundreds of miles of fertile soil can be developed, it can definitely support the reproduction of millions of mortals, and the number of monks that the Chen family increases every year will increase by more than ten times.
It is a pity that the Chen family is not strong enough. Once millions of mortals are really reproduced, I am afraid they will face extinction.
The flesh and blood of millions of mortals is a treasure coveted by even the great demons of the Zifu realm. Once the blood sacrifice is enough to sacrifice the third-order magic treasure of the Zifu realm.
This kind of temptation is enough to make the demon take risks and do the angry thing that day.
Therefore, the Chen clan has been controlling the slow growth of the population to avoid attracting the attention of the big demon.
Chen Nianzhi's footsteps were extremely fast, and in just over an hour, he arrived at the first town.
This small town is the closest to Pingyang County, and it is the best-developed among the six small towns. It has a population of more than 5000 people, and there are more than 700 children of school age.
It took Chen Nianzhi several hours to test the 700 people, but unfortunately no spiritual roots were detected.
Without wasting too much time, he went to several other towns one after another. It took only two days to complete the inspection of five towns, but he didn't even encounter a single spiritual root.
"The last town is ahead."
Chen Nianzhi looked at the map a little discouraged, and didn't have much hope for the last town in his heart.
Pingyuan Town is the farthest from Pingyang City. Because it is the first barrier of Pingyang Town, the environment is also the worst, and it is often attacked by monsters and poisonous insects, so its population is also the smallest among the six towns.
The entire town has only 3000 people. Excluding the 2000 black armored cavalry who defend against low-level monsters, the population is only over 200, of which there may not be more than [-] young children of the right age.
"wrong."
There are still more than ten miles away from Pingyuan Town, and Chen Nianzhi feels that something is wrong.
In order to prevent low-level monster attacks, according to Chen's rules, there should be black armored cavalry patrolling within ten miles of Pingyuan Town, but today he could not see a single black armored cavalry.
What made him even more uneasy was that he could smell a bloody smell from far away.
"Not good!"
