After eradicating the monsters, Zhang Mengqing warmly invited Chu Qin to his humble residence as a guest, treated him well, and mentioned the spiritual root test tomorrow.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, have you ever tested spiritual roots for mortals before?"
Zhang Mengqing asked with a smile.
"This is the first time."
Chu Qin Dao.
Hearing this, Zhang Mengqing smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the spirit testing conference. It will be very lively. Fellow Daoist Chu will probably have a harder time."
All children of the Zhang family who are between the ages of six and sixteen can undergo spiritual root testing.
"The hard work is worth it. I also want to select a few junior brothers and junior sisters with good qualifications for Qingshan Sect."
Chu Qin smiled faintly. He still felt quite novel about this mission.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that although the Zhang family is currently in financial distress, the Zhang family has a spirit detection array in Pingyang Town.
According to Zhang Deming, no matter how poor the family is and how scarce the cultivation resources are, they still cannot sell the spirit detection array.
Heirs of the Zhang family who have spiritual roots must not be buried.
Zhang Mengqing was a very easy-going person. During the conversation, he and Chu Qin chatted about the customs and customs of Pingyang Town. Zhang Zhiwen also spoke from time to time, and the three of them gradually became more familiar with each other.
Early the next morning.
When Chu Qin followed Zhang Mengqing and Zhang Zhiwen to the square of the spirit testing conference, Chu Qin couldn't help being surprised by the scene in front of him for a while.
I saw a bustling crowd of people gathering on the Spirit Testing Square. It was so dark at first glance that Chu Qin was stunned.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Chu, there is no need to be surprised. Pingyang Town has a large population, with more than 3,000 children. Compared to the last spirit testing conference, the number of people this time is much smaller."
Zhang Mengqing has participated in several spirit testing conferences, and is no longer surprised by the scene before him.
At this moment, not only the children, but also the parents of many children are gathered here, with excitement and expectation on their faces, hoping that their children will have spiritual talents and come into contact with immortality.
Pingyang Town is the territory of the Zhang family, more than 90% of whom are members of the Zhang family and belong to the same bloodline.
At this time every year, it is the time when the Zhang family comes to Pingyang Town to test the spiritual roots of the children of the Zhang family. It has become a routine.
"I said before that I would work harder on you, and this is why."
"The number of children tested this time is close to 4,000, but the more people tested, the greater the chance of spiritual roots appearing."
Zhang Mengqing explained that he led Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin to use the wind control technique, and flew up in the wind on the square, flying like flying swallows to a high platform in the square.
"The Immortal Master is here, the Immortal Master is here!"
As Zhang Mengqing and the others appeared, there was a burst of respectful and excited sounds from around them, and their eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Mengqing and the others.
Immediately after landing on the ground, Zhang Mengqing smiled slightly at the family members around him and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The heated discussion in the square suddenly decreased and gradually became quiet.
"My dear nephew, without further ado, let's start the battle."
Zhang Mengqing suggested.
Zhang Zhiwen nodded, took out a magic weapon in the form of a spirit key from the storage bag, and carried it to the center of the high platform, where the spirit detection array was located.
The Zhang family's spirit detection array requires the use of a matching spirit key to open it. Zhang Zhiwen was responsible for testing the spirit roots this time, so Zhang Deming handed the spirit key to Zhang Zhiwen.
In order to prevent clan members from selling the spirit detection array privately, which would be detrimental to the family, the spirit key is usually kept by Zhang Deming himself. That is, when the spirit detection conference is held every three years, Zhang Deming will take out the spirit key and use it.
The process of opening the spirit detection array is very simple. After Zhang Zhiwen puts six spirit stones into the array, the imperial spirit key can be used to communicate with the array to unlock it.
After the spiritual formation was opened and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones, Zhang Zhiwen took Chu Qin to his seat, briefly explained to everyone present the purpose of his visit and the things that needed attention, and then began to conduct spiritual tests on the children.
Root detection.
"You guys should line up first and don't mess around."
"The person next to me is an immortal master from Qingshan Sect."
"This Qingshan Sect is a famous sect in Lushan County! This time, if someone's child is lucky enough to have spiritual root qualifications, he will have the opportunity to be sent to the Qingshan Sect to practice!"
"It is much better to practice in the Qingshan Sect than to practice in our Zhang family. You will have a broader and more promising future!"
Zhang Zhiwen revealed Chu Qin's identity and hoped that the development of the Zhang family would get better and better.
As a monk in the clan, Zhang Zhiwen is very clear about the situation of the Zhang family's cultivation resources.
Yesterday, Chu Qin's powerful ability to kill the wolf demon not only made Zhang Zhiwen feel that the Zhang family members would have a better future by joining the Qingshan Sect for practice, but even Zhang Mengqing had the idea of joining the Qingshan Sect for practice.
However, Zhang Mengqing only thought about this idea. He knew that his responsibility was to look after Pingyang Town, keep an eye on the spirit detection array here for the family, and protect the compatriots in the town.
Although most of the people in the town are mortals, they are all the blood of the Zhang family.
As the spirit testing conference began, a group of children, accompanied by their parents, stepped into the spirit testing array in an orderly manner to conduct spirit testing.
The scene seemed very lively, and many eyes were focused on the spirit detection array, watching the first child step forward for detection.
At first, Chu Qin found it a bit strange when he watched the children test their spirits one by one, and looked forward to the birth of those with spiritual roots.
But as time went by, after continuously testing more than a hundred children without finding a single spiritual root owner, Chu Qin gradually realized that the job of testing spiritual roots was a bit boring.
At the same time, I also saw how low the chance of having spiritual root talent among mortals was.
One by one, children stepped into the spirit detection array with excited faces, and then walked out of the spirit detection array with depressed faces. This scene often appeared, making the surrounding atmosphere a bit dull. The children who had not yet been tested were lined up behind, and the accompanying family members
, many of them felt nervous.
Fortunately, after the detection lasted for more than an hour, when a boy stepped into the spirit detection array, three rays of light soon lit up in the spirit detection array.
"Yes!"
Zhang Mengqing's eyes lit up when he saw the spirit detecting array reacting and detecting spirit roots.
"This is..." Zhang Zhiwen glanced at the three rays of light that lit up in the spirit detection array, and then looked at the color of the light, and there was still a hint of joy on his face.
"This is the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and gold. The qualifications are acceptable."
Finally, the first spiritual root owner appeared, and he still had the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and gold. According to Lu Yuanshan’s explanation, such qualifications could also be accepted into the Qingshan Sect.
In the future, whether this child has talents such as weapon refining and alchemy refining will also need to be tested.
