Chapter 136 Change and Development (Please subscribe, please collect)
Sun Changfeng and the others have not returned to the family for a long time. Although the strength of the entire family has been affected to a certain extent, the development they should have will not stop because of this.
For a family, if it wants to grow and develop, the addition of new blood is an indispensable and important part. Every two years, a comprehensive spiritual root test will be conducted on all the mortal children of the appropriate age who are affiliated with the family. .
Once a seedling is found to have spiritual roots and is qualified to embark on the path of spiritual practice, it will be brought back to the family for unified training, thus officially becoming a member of the family. This is the main opportunity for the family to add new blood. Sun Mingsheng also used this spiritual root. The test officially becomes a member of the family.
In addition, all family monks traveling abroad will also check the cultivation qualifications of some children at the appropriate time and bring them back to the Divine Dog Mountain.
Lingyu Town, in front of the Lingyu Mine
All the miners lined up neatly in a dark and orderly manner, changing from their usual busy schedule and not entering the mine tunnels to mine the spiritual minerals.
Today is the spiritual root testing conference that happens every two years. The family will specially send monks to carry spiritual testing stones to conduct a basic test on every child of school age.
According to family rules, on the day of the spirit root test, all activities in the mortal towns to which they belong can stop. This is also one of their few holidays.
"The Immortal Master has arrived, Lingyu Town is here to welcome the Immortal Master." At noon, with a loud rumbling sound, two huge Hanniu beasts had appeared.
Riding the Hanniu Beast are two monks in the late stage of Qi training. However, judging from their faces, they are relatively young and immature. They are still different from the immortal masters who were responsible for spiritual root testing before. There must be a clear difference.
Basically, all the immortal masters who were originally responsible for spiritual root detection have been summoned to the Beast Control City. This time, the monks sent out are the real core cultivators of the family.
It's just that for these mortals, the old immortal master who seems to have an air of immortality always has an inexplicable sense of trust.
Of course, these are all just their psychological activities. They naturally have full trust in the immortal masters from their families.
"According to the order of the family, today I and I will be responsible for testing the spiritual roots of the school-age children in Lingyu Town. The mayor is responsible for maintaining order and conducting the tests in order. No one needs to be anxious. All children will not be missed. Let's get started." The older monk simply gave some instructions and then took out a fist-sized colorful stone.
This stone, which doesn't seem to have many features except for its color, is the famous spirit-detecting stone, which is specially used to detect spiritual roots.
Spirit-detecting stones are not artificially synthesized. They can only be produced in some large mineral veins. There are no rules and they can only rely on luck.
Spirit-testing stones are also spiritual objects that belong to a family's heritage and are the cornerstone of the family's development and growth. Currently, there are only three in the Sun family.
Whenever it's time to test the spiritual roots, the family will send three groups of six late-stage Qi Refining monks to take turns to test.
The detection of spiritual roots is mainly based on the measurement of spiritual stones, but each detection of a mortal's spiritual roots requires a certain amount of mana. Given the huge number, this is not an easy job.
However, every time a potential monk is found who has spiritual roots and is qualified to embark on the path of spiritual practice, the family will distinguish and reward them based on their spiritual root qualifications, which is also a good job.
"Put your hands on the spirit-detecting stone and concentrate on it to detect the spiritual roots." When the spiritual root detection began, the two monks just gave a simple instruction.
For mortals belonging to the family, detecting spiritual roots is not an unfamiliar thing. Almost everyone has had relevant experience.
Because it involves the fate of this life, before the spiritual root testing conference begins, parents will give you countless instructions and even practice countless times, hoping to increase the success rate.
Therefore, during the detection process, the monk only needs to use mana to activate the spirit detecting stone. If there is a spiritual root in the body, the spirit detecting stone will emit light of the corresponding color, and the strength of each ray of light is the spiritual root. manifestation of attributes.
One after another, children come with full hopes, but are destined to return disappointed. Among mortals, spiritual root possessors are extremely rare, and they are only one in a thousand.
Occasionally, it is detected that children with spiritual roots mainly have four or five spiritual roots. Their mission is to marry wives and have children on the Divine Dog Mountain, so as to breed younger monks with better spiritual roots for the family.
Until the first monk in the late stage of Qi refining, no child with spiritual roots was detected in Lingyu Town due to excessive mana consumption. At this time, all the tests had passed half.
Regarding this situation, except for the slightly disappointed parents of the children, the monks and the mayor had already expected it.
During the test every two years, the entire Sun family only harvested three or five children with spiritual roots. It was extremely normal for a town to find nothing.
The same scene unfolds in almost all mortal towns belonging to the Sun family. Whenever a child with spiritual roots appears, there will be a burst of excited shouts. This is the most sincere blessing.
Naturally, the operation of a family will not be stagnated in the slightest due to spiritual root testing. Except for a small number of clan elders, everyone is performing their duties without paying any attention. At most, they are just curious about how many people will have it this year. Children with spiritual roots appear.
Divine Dog Mountain, Spirit Beast Valley
"The first-order high-grade eight-legged spider has hatched. This is the first first-order high-grade spiritual beast in the family, and it has great fighting power. After being tamed, it will obviously improve the combat power of the monks in the later stage of Qi refining." Sun Mingwang came from a cave underneath. Drill out.
Regardless of the dust on his body, with an excited look on his face, he announced the good news to his father Sun Xunyang and introduced the birth of the family's first first-order high-grade spiritual beast.
When the eight-legged spider reaches adulthood, it becomes a first-level high-grade spiritual beast. It possesses great strength. Its carapace has a certain defensive power. Its silk is of high quality and can be used as a spiritual material for refining inner armor. It can be said that it has dual functions of offense and assistance. .
"The eight-legged spider is just an entry-level spiritual beast among the first-order high-grade spiritual beasts. It is still far away from the three-headed snake, the family guardian spiritual beast." Sun Xunyang was satisfied in his heart, but he has always been cold-faced. Will give positive praise.
Ever since the family made the decision to cultivate the spiritual beasts that protect the clan, the Spirit Beast Valley has also been experiencing rapid development and growth.
From just two or three kittens at the beginning, to now having more than twenty kinds of first-, middle-, and lower-grade spiritual beasts, it has come a long way.
But what Sun Changfeng got from the auction was a second-grade top-grade three-headed snake egg. These years, it had been stored in the family's secret vault and was warmed and raised using special methods. It has not yet been hatched. It's because there are no monks who are proficient in this way in the Spirit Beast Valley or even in the family, so it takes enough time to explore it bit by bit.
This is also the only way for a family to develop. Any skill requires the continuous efforts of countless monks.
