Chapter 8 How many grades are there?
"Xu Lingshan, eighth grade Dao Meridian!"
"Xu Jiaju, eighth grade Taoist veins!"
"..."
Xu Chen turned his head and said to Xu Xiao: "Young Master, our Yuxian branch family has a lot of eighth-grade Dao veins this time, which is much stronger than in previous years."
There are a total of eleven people in the Yuxian branch family taking pulses, but there are two of them who are of the eighth grade, and the rest are all of the ninth grade.
Xu Xiao nodded slightly, but looked at the branches of Xu Yan's family.
There are only two members of Xu Yan's family, Xu Zhi and Xu Qingcheng. Xu Zhi is dressed in Tsing Yi and has a cold face.
But Xu Qingcheng was extremely beautiful, she was nine years old, and she was dressed in a white dress. When she walked onto the stage, she showed no stage fright. She glanced at Xu Yan, who nodded slightly towards her.
The little girl in the white dress walked up to the stone platform, and the soldiers of the town navy wanted to hug her. She waved her hands gently, turned her hands over, and climbed onto the stone platform. Her figure was nimble and her white skirt was flying. Although she was young, she was a full-fledged girl. Beauty embryo.
The boys below were all staring at it, unable to look away.
The pulse measuring stone platform trembled slightly, and a circle of blazing white light rippled.
Xu Yan frowned. Just as the soldier in charge of reading out the word Wudao Pulse said the word "Wudao Pulse", the stone platform suddenly glowed with white light!
When the white light faded away, only six circles of blazing white light were left surrounding the stone platform!
Xu Chaoyang stood up quickly and looked at the girl in a white dress above the stone platform. Almost everyone from the major families also stood up!
"Xu Qingcheng, Fifth Grade Dao Meridian!!" The soldier from the Zhenhai Army said this with a trembling voice.
"Hahaha, okay! Another fifth-grade Taoist meridian comes from my Xu family!"
Xu Chaoyang laughed heartily, and the laughter spread in all directions.
The faces of the other major families had different expressions. Bai Xiuyu, who looked arrogant before, also put away his arrogance at this moment and looked at Xu Qingcheng with fiery eyes.
"The third fifth-grade Taoism in Ruyang County!"
"The Xu family, two fifth-grade Dao veins!"
People from all the aristocratic families were whispering to each other, looking at the seats where people from the Guo family were sitting from time to time.
Guo Renhou looked grave, wrote a secret letter under his sleeve, and handed it to the attendant behind him.
After receiving this letter, the waiter squeezed out the crowd while no one was paying attention, and galloped towards Guo's house in Ruyang Prefecture.
The fifth-grade Dao Meridian represents the possibility of breaking through the innate warrior, and there are only three of them in the entire Ruyang County!
Once innate warriors from other families appear and the Guo family has been weak for a long time, Ruyang County will definitely change.
Xu Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart. Xu Qingcheng was the niece of his branch family in Yu County. This time he brought her to take a pulse test. Unexpectedly, he got such a big surprise!
Although he will be absorbed into the master’s family for training in the future, but...
"Reward! For Xu Yan's meritorious service under his rule, I will give you fifty people, twenty maids, a thousand taels of gold, a hundred silks and satins, a hundred good horses, and ten hundred-year-old elixirs!" Xu Chaoyang said solemnly.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Xu Yan looked happy. Although he had to share some of these rewards with Xu Qingcheng's parents, he could also keep a large portion of them.
point.
And that gold can be used to buy medicinal materials, help with cultivation, buy martial arts, and improve combat power!
"bring it here!"
"Yes, head of the family!"
Xu Qingcheng was brought to Xu Chaoyang. Xu Chaoyang himself was a fifth-grade Daoist, so he knew how quickly the fifth-grade Daoist could practice martial arts. He kept looking at Xu Qingcheng with a smile on his face.
"Qingcheng has met the head of the family!"
Although Xu Qingcheng is young, she is polite and considerate, and her voice is sweet, which makes people immediately like her.
"No need to be polite, just call me uncle and grandpa." Xu Chaoyang said with a smile.
If she didn't have the qualifications of the fifth-grade Taoism, Xu Chaoyang wouldn't even look at a girl from a separate family in the countryside, but now she has become an uncle.
The other family members were well aware of Xu Chaoyang's character, and upon hearing this, they all secretly slandered him.
"Stand behind me."
"Yes, uncle."
"Continue taking the pulse." Xu Chaoyang ordered.
"Yes, Father."
Seeing that Xu Chaoyang was in a good mood, Xu Xiao put a smile on her face.
As soon as Xu Chaoyang appeared, he, the young head of the family, seemed to have no right to speak. At this moment, he finally relieved some of the pressure and turned to Xu Yan: "Continue taking the pulse."
"Yes, young master."
The only people whose pulses have not yet been measured at this moment are the five members of the head of the Xu family, and Xu Zhi, who belongs to the same Xu Yan branch as Xu Qingcheng.
With an indifferent expression, Xu Zhi walked onto the platform, turned over and climbed onto the stone platform, sitting on it.
In an instant, a circle of blazing white light rippled on the stone platform, but it remained unchanged.
Some people in the crowd were surprised. In the past, no matter whether the members of the Xu family were in the branch or the main family, the lowest ones all had ninth-grade Dao veins, and there were almost no people without Dao veins.
"It's okay, come down." Xu Chaoyang smiled.
Obviously, Xu Qingcheng's fifth-grade Dao lineage made him extremely happy. Xu Zhi was Xu Qingcheng's younger brother. Even though his lack of Dao lineage had somewhat disgraced the Xu family, it didn't matter at the moment.
Xu Zhi's expression became even more indifferent, he jumped off the stone platform and returned to the crowd of separated families without saying a word.
The last five are all Xu Xiao's children and Xu Chaoyang's direct relatives. However, with Xu Qingcheng's fifth-grade Taoist pearls in front of them, Xu Chaoyang does not have too many expectations for them.
Except for the little boy wearing dark clothes.
That secret has been kept for five years. Five years ago, the Xu Parents and Elders Council decided that everything should be done according to the normal training of heirs. They would wait until Xu Disheng was a little older and the Taoist pulse could be measured before making a training agenda.
No one was allowed to tell that secret. Even Zhen Haijun at the time had to deal with a few of them. The only insiders left were members of the Presbyterian Council and Xu Xiao's wives.
Even the ladies were surrounded by guards. In the past five years, many Zhenhai soldiers have been patrolling back and forth, never slacking off, ensuring that even if there is any disturbance, there will be no news of it outside Zhenhai City.
"Xu Qian, sixth grade Dao Meridian!"
"Xu Ziyu, eighth grade
Dao Meridian! "
"Xu Yufeng, seventh-grade Taoism!"
"Xu Xuan, seventh grade Dao Meridian!"
Only Xu Qian is of the sixth grade Dao lineage, and the others are of the seventh or eighth grade, but everyone is surprised.
After all, although the sixth-grade Dao veins are relatively not numerous, the bloodlines of major families have been passed down for hundreds of years, but they are not too rare.
Xu Disheng's soul power was constantly circulating throughout his body, and the divine energy circulated around the Jiang Palace, finally returning to Baihui and gathering in the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, he opened his eyes slightly, stood up, and walked slowly towards the stone platform.
Jin Yu'er looked at him without blinking, and Xu Qingcheng also stood behind Xu Chaoyang, looking at Xu Disheng curiously.
Only Xu Chaoyang and Xu Xiao looked slightly nervous.
Xu Disheng gently climbed onto the stone platform and sat on it. He felt a strange breath emerging from under the stone platform, flowing through the meridians of his body, and then wandering back to the stone platform.
This should be the exploration technique of the Shitai martial arts treasure, a martial treasure refined from the Extraordinary Innate Realm, and even a martial treasure uniformly distributed by the Great Chu imperial court. It is indeed extraordinary.
Xu Disheng tried to use his soul power to contact the probing breath, but there was no resistance, so he stopped trying and allowed the breath to travel through the meridians of his body several times.
The pulse-measuring platform suddenly started to tremble, and the white aperture shrank tightly, clinging to the stone platform.
Everyone was surprised. They only saw the aperture spreading outwards, but never saw it shrinking inwards.
The aperture shrinks smaller and smaller, as if it will spread violently in the next second.
"Spread!?" Xu Chaoyang's heart suddenly moved, and he secretly thought that something was wrong. He wanted to fly forward, but it was already too late.
The shadow of a big hand suddenly appeared, covering the pulse measuring platform. He grabbed it hard, and the white light that was about to burst was caught in his hand. He squeezed it hard again, and there was no sound again.
An old man with eagle eyes appeared on the scene, his appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Chaoyang.
"See the Great Elder!"
"See Grandpa Elder!"
Before anyone in the Xu family could realize what was going on, they saw the eagle-eyed old man. They suppressed their surprise and greeted him one after another.
This person is none other than Xu Qinying, the chief elder of the Xu Elders' Association, the previous head of the family, and Xu Chaoyang's father. It is said that his martial arts cultivation has already reached the half-step innate realm, and he is very famous.
However, Xu Qanying had already retired from the front office and had retired to the Presbyterian Church for more than 20 years. Many people thought that he was dead. Why did he suddenly appear at this moment and interrupt the pulse measurement?
"This pulse test ends here!" Xu Qanying said in a deep voice, then glanced at Xu Disheng, picked him up, and flew away.
Everyone's expressions changed in different ways, and they all resigned to Xu Chaoyang, wanting to return to the family as soon as possible.
The town navy and government guards managed the evacuation of personnel in an orderly manner.
Those children who had the Dao lineage stayed in Fucheng, and their parents received the rewards and went home to celebrate with a big banquet.
It's just that there are undercurrents surging among the many aristocratic families in Ruyang County, especially the four major families.
Things are going to change in Ruyang County.
