In a blink of an eye, it was time for the family spirit testing conference. Chen Yu got up early in the morning and was waiting outside his parents' room. He heard that the other three major families in Tianhuang County would also send people over today.
He would feel excited just thinking about it, but when he thought about the possibility that he might not have spiritual roots, the excitement he felt just now suddenly faded away again.
Every year, the Chen family holds a spirit-testing conference. Children as long as they are six or seven years old will have their spiritual roots tested, in order to avoid missing children with spiritual roots.
After all, the Xiuxian family relies on blood ties, and even a clan member with five spiritual roots is extremely precious to the Chen family.
However, the probability of descendants born from descendants of cultivating immortal families to have spiritual roots is much higher than that of ordinary mortals.
Sometimes if you are lucky, you will have more than a dozen children with spiritual roots in a year, and sometimes if you are not lucky, you will not be able to get even one person of your generation for decades.
This year's spirit testing conference seems to be extremely grand, and many families from inside and outside the county have been invited. I am afraid that the Chen family will gain a lot this year.
In the room, Chen Yuting and Chen Shifeng actually knew that Chen Yu was coming, but when they thought about the results of the previous spirit detection conferences and today's spirit detection conference, they couldn't help but feel very nervous. On the one hand, they hoped that Chen Yu could detect excellent spirits.
Roots, but when I think that Yu'er may not have spiritual roots, I have mixed feelings in my heart!
Finally, Chen Shifeng straightened his clothes, took his wife Chen Yuting's hand, stood up, and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chen Yu standing outside. Looking at Chen Yu, who had just turned six years old, Chen Yuting stepped forward and touched Chen Yu's head and asked, "Are Yu'er afraid?"
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Mother, Yu'er is not afraid."
Seeing the face of this six-year-old child who was clearly nervous but pretending to be strong, Chen Shifeng and Chen Yuting paused, then took Chen Yu's hand and ran towards the family's spiritual testing platform.
When Chen Yu's family of three arrived at the spirit testing platform, they found that there were many people nearby. At this time, a little girl poked Chen Yu from the side. Chen Yu turned around and saw that it was Chen Zhi, the daughter of the uncle's family.
Zhi is also six years old this year and is here to test his spiritual roots.
Her father is Chen Shixiong, who is Chen Yu's uncle. However, he is not Chen Yu's biological uncle, but a descendant of the mortal clan of the Chen family.
He is almost ninety this year and ranks first in his generation, but it is impossible to break through the foundation building stage in this life.
At that time, he was found to have spiritual roots of water, earth, and gold, so he was brought back to the family. However, the purity of the spiritual roots was not very good, and his understanding was not very good either.
He is now eighty-nine years old, has reached the eighth level of Qi training, and is an outstanding figure besides the six family elders who have reached the ninth level of Qi training.
He has dozens of wives and concubines, and has twenty-eight children. However, there are only two children with spiritual roots, and they are four and five spiritual roots, and their purity is not good. So this time Chen Zhi came over
Chen Shixiong attaches great importance to testing.
Chen Zhi called "uncle and aunt" to Chen Yuting and Chen Shifeng, then took Chen Yu's hand and walked aside.
Chen Yu thought that she hadn't started soul testing yet, so she followed Chen Zhi to the side and whispered something.
After a while, an old man wearing a black shirt appeared on the high platform. The old man's face was wrinkled, but his eyes were bright. He seemed to be weak and hunched, but he was weighed down by the people around him and couldn't breathe. This was the Chen family's
The great elder Chen Yuhong died.
In his early years, he passed through the Foundation Establishment stage without the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although he was unsuccessful, he was lucky enough to survive and became a Qi-Learning Dzogchen monk. His strength was much stronger than the average Qi-Learning Dzogchen monk, and could even compete with the Foundation Establishment
The early monks fought for a while.
He said: "Thank you fellow Taoists for coming. This spirit testing conference has begun."
Several more old men came up next to them, and Chen Yu recognized them as the other five elders and the head of the family.
As for why the great elder presided over it, as the saying goes, with strong strength and seniority, of course it was the great elder who presided over it.
The head of the Chen family is also from the Yu generation, but he is only in his early eighties. His name is Chen Yufu, and he is ranked thirty-eighth in the Yu generation.
Because he was talented in management, he was elected as the head of the family, in charge of the family's customary affairs.
Nowadays, there are only close to forty people in the entire Yu generation of the Chen family. Except for Chen Yuwei, the son of the Supreme Elder, most of them are over ninety years old, and their potential has basically been exhausted.
, now I am just trying my best to support myself and contribute to my family and my descendants.
I saw six elders standing at the six corners of the spirit-measuring platform, and began to output mana to activate the spirit-measuring platform. At this time, the great elder said: "Those who come from ordinary people will test their spiritual roots first."
Chen Yu saw about a dozen six- and seven-year-old children lining up to take a test.
The monks sent by the family to the mortal world for testing brought spirit-measuring stones. They could only test whether a mortal had spiritual roots, but they could not test the spiritual roots and affinity of the spiritual roots. Only the spirit-measuring platform could measure the specific spiritual roots.
Condition.
Of course, foundation-building monks can also detect specific spiritual roots. However, the huge Chen family, including the monks who marry into the family, only has more than 200 monks and 5 foundation-building monks.
Obviously, it is impossible for five supreme elders to go to the mortal world to test spiritual roots.
Therefore, the family's Qi-training monks can only take the spirit-measuring stones to the mortal world to test whether the mortals in the family have spiritual roots. If they have spiritual roots, they can then bring them back and use the spirit-measuring platform to test them uniformly.
After all, the spirit testing platform cannot be moved, and each test consumes a lot of spirit stones. This time, more than 800 low-grade spirit stones will be used to open it, but it cannot be wasted.
The test began. Among the twelve dolls that came from the mortal world, there were only three girls, and the others were all boys. The first one was a little fat man, chubby. He stood on the soul measuring platform, and soon four of them appeared.
Colored light is the spiritual root of the four elements of gold, wood, earth, and fire. The height of each color is close to four grids, which means that his spiritual energy affinity in each element has reached 80%.
This means that his cultivation speed is comparable to that of the three spiritual roots. Although the great elder's old face was not very happy, he also showed a smile. When asked what his original name was, he said it was Chen Bao. He scratched his head and said
: "My mother said that I am her treasure, so I am called Chen Bao."
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. The elder was also amused by him and said: "You are the ninth generation descendant of my Chen family. You are of the zigzag generation, so you should be called Chen Zhibao."
The little fat man scratched his head, nodded again and said, "I listen to the elders."
Next, six more people were tested. They all had five spiritual roots, and their spiritual energy affinity was not high. This made the elder Chen Yuhong, who was originally in a good mood, a little unhappy.
When the eighth person was tested, he still had five spiritual roots, but his affinity was stronger than the previous ones. The great elder's face had darkened at this time.
The ninth one was also a boy. He was frightened when he saw the elder's gloomy face, and walked up to the soul-finding platform in a hurry.
At this time, three colors appeared: blue, red, and green. Among them, green had the highest affinity, reaching 60%.
This made the originally gloomy elder's face look much better. Although water spiritual roots and fire spiritual roots are spiritual roots that conflict with each other, fortunately, the affinity between them is not high. Although it has some impact on cultivation, it has little impact.
The great elder asked about his name and said, "Let's call you Chen Zhimu."
The boy who was a little scared at first looked much better when he saw the elder's face.
So he said happily
"yes."
Then he stood aside.
Among the remaining three children, there is a girl with spiritual roots of water, earth and wood, named Chen Zhixue. The others have five spiritual roots.
Soon it was the direct descendants of the cultivators on Biyun Peak who were tested. Chen Yu looked at the team and saw that there were about 30 people. Fifteen people were quickly tested, except for a tribesman named Chen Zhihu who had three spiritual roots.
, there are 4 five spiritual roots, 1 four spiritual roots, and the others have no spiritual roots.
Soon I tested 5 more people. I wonder if it was bad luck, but none of these 5 people had spiritual roots.
The 21st person was Chen Zhi, an old acquaintance of Chen Yu. She appeared in green, red and yellow colors.
"It's a supernatural root."
Someone said something, and everyone looked over.
It turns out that there are three spiritual roots: wind, fire, and earth. The spiritual energy affinity of the wind spiritual root has reached 80%, the spiritual energy affinity of the fire spiritual root has reached 40%, and the spiritual energy affinity of the earth spiritual root is only less than 30%.
With the wind assisting the fire, I'm afraid her cultivation speed will not be lower than that of ordinary dual spiritual roots.
The great elder touched his beard and said, "Not bad."
Chen Zhi was called Chen Zhizhi, which made her father very happy.
Six more people were tested, and only two of them had four spiritual roots. One was named Chen Zhigui, a boy, and the other was named Chen Zhiqin, a girl.
There were 3 people left who had not been tested. Everyone looked at the remaining 3 people. Next, a girl went up and took a 5 spiritual root test.
There is also a boy who has spiritual roots of gold, fire and earth, but his spiritual energy affinity is not high, his name is Chen Zhixiao.
Finally, Chen Yu came on stage. At this time, Chen Yu seemed calm, but his heart was already like an ant on a hot pot. He was very anxious. Thinking that it would be a knife to shrink his head, it would be a knife to stretch his head out, so he mustered up the courage to go up. The great elder
Narrowing her eyes, she looked at him and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, you have the style of your grandfather."
Chen Yu stepped up, and three colors of light appeared on the spirit measuring platform, which were the spiritual roots of wood, fire, and earth. I don't know who shouted.
Fire spiritual roots actually have an affinity of 85%, wood spiritual roots also have an affinity of 60%, and earth spiritual roots have the worst affinity, with only an affinity of 15%.
This result is already quite good, and he is also a good candidate for alchemy. His qualifications are also top-notch in the Chen family. Basically, few people can match him.
After all, the Chen family only has one inner disciple from the Yunwu Sect, Chen Shihan, who is a dual-spiritual-rooted monk, and the best others are only three-spiritual-rooted!
As the great elder shouted loudly, Chen Yu also changed his name to Chen Zhiyu.
This spiritual testing conference also came to a successful conclusion. A total of 6 three-spirit roots, 4 four-spirit roots, and 14 five-spirit roots were detected. A total of 24 children had spiritual roots. This is the pinnacle of the Chen family in recent years.
It's time, after all, the last time I tested spirits, there were only 6 dolls with spiritual roots.
God has the vision to let my Chen family rise, the elder thought to himself.
There are already twelve people with spiritual roots in the Zigzag generation, so Chen Zhiyu and the others lined up along the way.
The children were all about the same age, except for those who were indeed several months or one or two years old, who were directly ranked in front by the elder. As for those who were a few days or hours behind, the elder did not ask and directly followed the results just measured.
The spiritual roots are arranged in descending order.
After all, immortal cultivators are not very particular about details.
Because Chen Zhibao was the first to be diagnosed with spiritual roots, he was also a year older than everyone else, already over seven years old.
So he ranks first in this batch, and he ranks thirteenth in the Zigzag generation.
The next step is to take advantage of Chen Zhilong and Chen Zhihu. These two brothers are also several months older than everyone else and are almost seven years old, so they are ranked fourteenth and fifteenth in the zigzag generation.
Among the remaining children, none had a much different birth time, so they were directly arranged by the elders.
Ranking sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, and twenty-two are the newly named Chen Zhibao, Chen Zhisang, Chen Zhihong, Chen Zhitu, Chen Zhiyu, Chen Zhihuai, and Chen Zhilin.
All seven of them have five spiritual roots. Among them, Chen Zhilin's five spiritual roots are of higher purity, especially the water and wood roots, which are extremely outstanding, both reaching the level of 70%.
It's a pity that the five spirit roots are destined to be unable to break through the foundation building. With his qualifications, it will take some opportunities and ten times the effort to enter the later stage of Qi training in his lifetime.
Ranking twenty-third is Chen Zhimu, a boy who was a little timid in the test just now.
Ranking twenty-four is Chen Zhixue.
Ranking twenty-five to thirty are the four with five spiritual roots, named: Chen Zhishi, Chen Zhidiao, Chen Zhigou, Chen Zhichun, Chen Zhihuo, and Chen Zhilie.
Ranked thirty-one is Chen Zhizhi, thirty-two is Chen Zhigui, and thirty-third is Chen Zhiqin.
Ranking thirty-four is Chen Zhiliu, who has five spiritual roots.
Ranking thirty-five and thirty-six are Chen Zhirong, who has spiritual roots of gold, fire, and earth, and Chen Zhiyu, who has spiritual roots of wood, fire, and earth.
