Chapter 31 Spiritual Testing
"What did you say?!" Patriarch Qin roared angrily: "You can't do this little thing well, what use do I need from you!"
"Clan leader, even if the Li family knew that we were responsible, they would not dare to deal with the family..."
It's okay not to mention this. Shopkeeper Qin's words completely detonated Patriarch Qin, "You idiot! Does it matter whether the Li family takes action now? After this incident, do you think there will be guests coming to Yingxianke!" "
Outsiders know that the Qin family has a close relationship with Yuan Mingzong, but the Li family is the victim in this matter. If Yuan Mingzong insists on intervening, what will the other vassal families think?
And obviously, the Li family also knows about the relationship between the Qin family and Yuan Mingzong, and has no intention of taking action personally, but this heart-breaking method is even more terrifying!
As for the golden elixir monk from Yuan Mingzong, the Qin family was unwilling to waste their friendship on this matter.
"Go to Fangshi right now, take down the sign that welcomes immortal guests, close the door, and reopen with a different name after the situation calms down!" Patriarch Qin got angry when he saw the trash in front of him.
"Then what?" Shopkeeper Qin asked a very stupid question.
Patriarch Qin used all his strength to suppress the anger in his heart, and just shouted loudly: "Then you get back here! Stay in the family honestly!"
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a real blood relative to him, he would have wanted to kill him!
But before the matter of welcoming the immortal guests was settled, Patriarch Qin heard another news, very terrible news!
The three major families of Zheng, Zhang, and He all lost a foundation-building monk!
"This..." Chief Qin immediately realized that these three foundation builders might have died in the hands of the Li family.
"Do you know what's going on?"
Elder Qin shook his head and said, "I don't know. This news spread like crazy, but none of the three families came forward to explain."
"I'm afraid this is news deliberately released by the Li family. The purpose is to frighten those of us who are targeting it."
As he said that, Chief Qin couldn't help but sigh and said: "That's all, the Li family is not something we can offend, so we should be more honest."
The ups and downs in the outside world did not disturb the peace and tranquility on Darong Island. The Li family seemed not to be affected at all, and was no different from their usual days.
But today, the entire Darong Island has become lively, and both the monks and the secular people are very excited and looking forward to it.
Because today is the family’s annual spirit testing conference!
The so-called spirit testing is to test whether children over five years old have spiritual roots. If they have spiritual roots, they can become a monk seeking Taoism. If not, they can only be a simple and ordinary mortal.
"Zhirui, why are you here?" The person who presided over the spirit test was Li Shiren. When he saw Li Zhirui suddenly appearing at the testing site, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
When he was in Bailang County, Li Zhirui rarely participated in such activities. After arriving at Darong Island and learning how to make alchemy, he was even less willing to go out. Li Shiren really didn't expect to see him here.
"Come out and get some air." Li Zhirui said with a smile.
He is now trying a spiritual elixir that is relatively difficult to refine. It is called the Strong Meridian Pill. As the name suggests, this elixir can strengthen the meridians and make them stronger.
It was just that Li Zhirui was very upset because he had never been successful, so he planned to go out and relax, but he didn't expect to encounter something as important as the Spiritual Testing Conference.
"Uncle Ren, there were only three people with spiritual roots last year. I'm afraid there will be even less this year, right?" Although Li Zhirui doesn't like to join in the fun, he still pays attention to the results of every spiritual testing conference.
After all, whether a family can continue depends not only on whether it has strong strength to ensure the safety of the family, but also on whether the family has a future!
The Spirit Testing Conference is an opportunity to see how much hope the family has in the future. Although it is not that accurate, after all, no one can be sure what achievements these children who have their spiritual roots will have in the future.
"There is no way. There are too few secular people on Darong Island. There are less than a thousand people who meet the requirements this year." Li Shiren did not have high expectations for this year's spirit testing conference.
You know, there were tens of thousands of eligible children in Bailang County last year, but among these people, there were only three children with spiritual roots! To say it is one in a million is no exaggeration.
So this year, Li Shiren felt that he would be very lucky to have a child with spiritual roots!
"Since there are few secular people, why not encourage them to have more children?"
Darong Island can accommodate at least one million mortals, but it is still far from the limit now.
And even if Darong Island cannot accommodate more people, there are still several desert islands nearby that can be developed for secular people to live in.
"Before, the family only regarded Darong Island as a place to continue the bloodline, and the main focus was on Bailang County." After all, who would have thought that a Nascent Soul monk would suddenly be born in the Baiyu Sect, and the Beast Control Sect would be overthrown?
"Take your time, everything in the family is developing in a good direction now."
At this time, all the children who were going to be tested had arrived. Li Shiren stopped chatting with Li Zhirui and walked quickly to the spirit detection array, preparing to activate the array and start the test.
The spirit detection array method can test a hundred people at one time. It is not as troublesome as using spirit detection stones. You can only do it slowly one by one.
But if the Li family hadn't had Li Shiren, a second-level formation master, they wouldn't have been able to use the spirit detection formation, because it was a second-level formation!
"Enter the formation!" As Li Shiren spoke, a hundred ignorant children entered the formation under the expectant eyes of their parents.
Li Shiren took action to activate the formation, and eight kinds of auras of various colors appeared instantly, and then dispersed and fell into the formation.
As time went by, three light pillars slowly appeared on a child's head. They were a white light pillar symbolizing the golden spiritual root, a green light pillar symbolizing the wood spiritual root, and a yellow light pillar symbolizing the earth spiritual root.
The spirit detection array method can only detect whether there are spiritual roots. As for the purity of the spiritual roots, it needs to pass a more accurate test, but no matter what, a new clan member will appear in the Li family this year.
"What a good start!" Li Zhihao said happily: "It seems that this spirit testing conference will have a good result."
"Yes!" Li Zhirui was also looking forward to it.
Li Shiren closed the formation, and then another elder took the child with the spiritual root to stand aside. After the spirit test was over, he took everyone to test the purity of the spiritual root.
The other children, some of whom knew what this meant, couldn't help crying loudly, which then caused others to start crying too, and the scene suddenly became filled with crying.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Zhirui suddenly remembered the day he stood in the spirit detection formation thirteen years ago.
At that time, he knew that he had traveled to a world of immortal cultivation, and he was fully expecting a good result!
And when the result appeared, before Li Zhirui could react, he saw all the monks present surrounding him with smiles on their faces. At that time, he couldn't help but think: He should have a spirit. Root, right? And he seems to have pretty good qualifications.
Then Li Zhirui was taken for another test. Although many people looked disappointed after the results came out, Li Zhirui didn't care. He only knew that he had spiritual roots and was qualified to enter the mysterious and unpredictable world of immortality!
