The next day, Li Yi took a day off, and his family of three went out early to the Diyuan Hall in the center of the city.
Today is Datan City's monthly Yuan Ling Testing Day. All children over six years old must come to test their Yuan Ling to determine their talent level. Li Xing's current bone age is exactly six years old, which is also within the test range.
The family packed into Li Yi's small aircraft and flew to the city center early.
Li Yi said that the Qianyuan continent has twelve upper cities, forty-eight middle cities, one hundred and twenty-four lower cities, and countless satellite towns and villages near the city. The comprehensive strength of Datan City also belongs to the middle city among the lower cities.
downstream level.
Despite this, Li Xing felt that this place looked more developed than the big city of Blue Star, and it covered a larger area.
Because every household must have a vegetable garden, the urban residential area is very large. When viewed from the air, the adjacent vegetable gardens are connected into a patchwork. The roads are white ribbons, and the single-family buildings are like colorful shells scattered in the green ocean.
Fantasy colors.
Different from the pastoral style of residential areas, the city center has tall buildings, a strong commercial atmosphere, and various holographic advertisements that dazzle people.
Today is the test day. There are so many people on the street that it is impossible to find a parking space. Li Yi can only park at a farther place and the family walks there.
Along the way, Li Xing felt more and more the arrogance of this world:
Weeds grow in patches on the roadside, and what is trampled and crushed by passers-by is the rare ingredient for refining the Dahuan Dan, the first-grade purple-flowered lichen;
The welcome flower placed at the door of the shop facing the street is the long-extinct blue star, the best spiritual plant, white foxtail;
The vendor selling marshmallows, the small wooden sticks used for the bundle of sticky candies in the cart are called fairy bamboo branches, the best...
Tiles, brick joints, wall corners... wherever you can see, the weeds and wild flowers that grow tenaciously are all spiritual grasses and spiritual plants.
The strange thing is that these spiritual plants have become more or less mutated. In addition to becoming larger in size, their colors are also different.
Li Xing murmured to herself, wondering how effective these mutant spiritual herbs were. Even if they were half as effective as normal spiritual herbs, she would be satisfied.
Thinking back to the Li family land, among the young alchemy cultivators, which one among them was not overexempted by the elders in charge of the spiritual grass? Which one was not warned not to open the furnace without full confidence?
Li Xing can understand the family's difficulties. After all, in the Age of Ending Dharma, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and spiritual plants are becoming increasingly rare. Considering the interests of the family, the elders naturally hope that the rate of elixir formation will be as high as possible.
However, the rate of alchemy cultivators' success is improved by accumulating experience. Even if they are as talented as Ancestor Li Zhan, they still suffered a huge blow when they were in the novice stage.
Li Xing still remembers that whenever rookies like them refine useless elixirs, the elder in charge of the elixir room would frown and make a "tsk" sound. There were disappointments, complaints, and the strange feeling of a century-old daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law.
.
This "tsk" sound was like a thorn, piercing Li Xing's heart so hard that she almost had a demon inside her.
The path of spiritual practice cannot be stopped. If she doesn't want to hear "tsk", she will save the country. She will use all the medicinal materials she can find instead of spiritual plants to practice, improve the elixir recipe, and use ordinary medicinal materials instead of spiritual plants to make elixirs. She accumulates experience little by little, and gradually makes this "
"Tsk" stop.
Nowadays, the world is full of spiritual herbs. Even if you pick up a handful of weeds on the roadside, you can bring out a few top-grade ones. With such good conditions, if she can't realize the freedom of refining alchemy and get top-grade alchemy when she opens the furnace, then she really has to give herself a "
"Tsk".
Gone are the days when making an elixir depends on people's looks. The grand dream she made when she was young can finally come true. She wants to refine the best spiritual herbs in the world and become the most powerful elixir practitioner in history!
Not only that, she also uses the most top-notch spiritual herbs to refine the most common elixirs. She is a dandy! A prodigal! Just to take revenge for the difficult days in the past!
Li Xing was queuing up while observing the spiritual herbs around her. She didn't feel bored at all. Two hours later, it was her turn. According to regulations, only one family member could accompany her. Li Yi did his part, held Li Xing's hand, and walked into the test.
Yuandian.
The Yuan Hall is very large, with a dome height of fifty meters inside the building. Rows of huge crystal chandeliers hang down from the dome to provide lighting. On both sides of the long and wide corridor, there are arch-shaped decorations, and inside the arches are various stone carvings and murals.
, carved with scenes of Qianyuan people gathering spiritual grass, hunting star beasts, and fighting star beasts, as if telling the history of the Qianyuan people.
There is a brazier every ten meters, with incense burning inside. Smoke rises in curls. Sunlight shines in from the windows on both sides of the dome and hits the smoke, forming a Tyndall phenomenon, which adds a sacred color to the hall.
At the end of the corridor, there is an extremely spacious high platform, with a group of huge white jade statues standing in the middle - thirty-six handsome people in ancient costumes, either standing in the air with flying swords on their feet, or slashing at the approaching people with their swords.
Star beasts, or holding spiritual grass and holding flowers and laughing, are different. The thirty-six people have different expressions and movements, lifelike.
Li Xing was attracted by the statue and stopped involuntarily. Li Yi explained in a low voice:
"This is the Thirty-Six Sages, the gods of the Qianyuan Continent."
Li Xing was surprised. These people seemed to be monks. Could it be that there was some karma from the world of immortality here?
When she was about to ask a question, an impatient voice urged: "What are you waiting for, come here quickly!"
Only then did Li Xing notice that there were two people wearing the same style of gray robes on the high platform. They were test officers responsible for testing Yuanling.
The one who urged me just now is young and pale, as if he has not seen the sun all year round. The other one is slightly older and does not seem as arrogant as the first one.
There is a tin room like a telephone booth behind the test officer, which should be a machine for testing talent levels.
Li Yi gently pushed Li Xing and whispered: "Go up. Don't be nervous, just follow the instructions of the instrument." Li Xing nodded.
"No matter what the result is, don't feel pressure. After all, ordinary people make up the majority in this world."
"Yes." Li Xing showed a big smile to Li Yi, trotted up the steps, and walked quickly towards the man in gray robe.
After checking Li Xing's ID, the pale-faced test officer pointed to the iron pavilion and said, "Go in."
Li Xing opened the door and walked in. The machine looked quite big, but it was actually very small inside and could only accommodate one person. In front of him was an operation console with no buttons and only a palm-shaped depression.
Li Xing followed the beep instructions and put his hand in. As the machine buzzed, there was an electric numbing sensation in his palm. At the same time, the fat man in his Dantian seemed to be sensing something, and the flame the size of an oil lamp expanded slightly.
After a while, he fell asleep again.
At this moment, the display screen outside the machine suddenly lit up with red light, and the color became thicker and brighter. The expressions of the two men in gray robes also changed from solemn to surprised. The young one's throat moved and he looked at Li Yi.
His eyes are no longer condescending.
Finally, the red color stopped changing, and a large, shining golden character slowly appeared in the center of the screen—A!
The slightly older test officer nodded slightly towards Li Yi. Unfortunately, Li Yi was too excited and was so attracted to the word "A" that he didn't notice it at all.
