"After eating, I sat down where I was. When I read the number, I came forward."

In an open space outside Longxing Town, an old man in Taoist robes with an immortal style put one hand behind his back. He looked at the more than thirty children in front of him, with a look of hope in his eyes, and said warmly.

These children were as young as eight or nine years old and as old as thirteen or fourteen. Each of them held a pill in their hands that contained five colors: gold, green, aqua blue, red, and brown. They all looked excited.

The old Taoist and the children were surrounded by people from Longhang Town and surrounding villages. These people were basically the parents of these children. They all hoped that their children could be selected, not only to cultivate immortality, but more importantly, to have money. Get the ticket.

Yes, Longxing Town is located in Liangzhou, a wilderness in the northeastern part of the Daqian Kingdom. Most of the people are hungry. Although they have almost no idea about cultivating immortals, they know that if their children can be selected by the immortal chief, they will immediately receive a thousand With two silver notes, you can leave the deserted village and live in a town or a better place.

This is what these parents want.

As for the thoughts of these children, it is unknown.

Under the expectant eyes and noise of everyone, the children had swallowed the pills in their hands one after another, then sat on the ground and raised the number plates in their hands, waiting for the old Taoist to speak.

When the old Taoist saw this, his small eyes full of light immediately scanned the children.

Ten breaths.

Fifty breaths.

A hundred breaths.

Suddenly, the old Taoist's face lit up, he looked at the little girl at the back and yelled: "Number 33!"

Hearing the sound, all the children turned around and looked at the little girl. They saw that there was a faint aura coming out of her body, and they couldn't help but feel envious.

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun has been chosen! Great, great." In the crowd, a middle-aged woman with a sallow face covered her face and cried. She almost fainted with excitement. The villagers next to her quickly put their hands on her to help her. live.

"I didn't expect that silly girl to have the talent of an immortal. The Ling family's ancestral graves are really smoking. I hope that boy of mine can live up to his expectations.

You can also earn a thousand taels for me."

"Yes, the Ling family has become prosperous now. It's worth a thousand taels."

""

Some villagers were envious when they heard the Taoist priest calling his name.

After a while.

"Number 20!"

The old Taoist looked at an eighty-nine-year-old child sitting in the middle of the third row. There was also a faint aura coming out of that person.

"Haha, Xiaohu, Xiaohu has been chosen!"

In an instant, another exclamation came from the crowd. A strong middle-aged man trembled with excitement and put a hand on an old man next to him, "Village chief, have you seen it? It's Xiaohu. It's Xiaohu who has made a fortune!"

""

Two people have been selected by the Taoists, and the remaining people can't help but become a little uneasy. The Qingyang Sect's previous selections have only been able to select two people at most once. Now that two people have been selected, I'm afraid there is not much hope for the rest. .

time flies.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that since Xiaoyun and Xiaohu were selected, no one has been named, as if there are really only two people walking out of Longxing Town at a time.

The old Taoist's hopeful eyes also dimmed. The pill he gave was called Awakening Pill, which can help people who have not practiced spiritual practice awaken their spiritual roots. Under normal circumstances, if the awakening has not been successful for more than half a quarter of an hour, it means that this person

He no longer has spiritual roots, at least it is lower than the five spiritual roots.

Those with roots lower than the five spiritual roots are called miscellaneous spiritual roots. It is possible to have seven, eight or nine spiritual roots. Although miscellaneous spiritual roots can also absorb spiritual energy, they may not be able to open up a single qi channel in their lifetime and cannot enter the first level of Qi training.

In the world of spiritual practice, let alone miscellaneous spiritual roots, even the five spiritual roots are also called pseudo-spiritual roots. They are also the lowest level of existence. No one

Will spend all resources to help a person who may have miscellaneous spiritual roots awaken.

After waiting for a while, the old Taoist shook his head helplessly, looked at the children sitting on the ground and said, "Okay, the spirit awakening ceremony is over. You all don't have spiritual roots and have no chance to cultivate immortality. Please disperse."

When the children heard this, they immediately looked lost. There was also a sigh from the crowd of onlookers, and the parents stepped forward to take away their children.

"You can cultivate him to become an immortal. I didn't expect that I can't become an immortal because I'm so fat."

The sturdy young man put his hand on the shoulder of the thin black young man next to him, and murmured as he walked, "Ni Monkey, tell me, did I eat too much and block my spiritual roots?"

The young man named Nihou also looked depressed at this time, "How did I know?"

"Nihou, Fatty Chen, wait for me."

A thin young man who looked about the same age chased after him, put his hand on Nihou's other shoulder, and said very intimately: "Nihou, you said that these two rough guys like me and Fatty Chen can't read even half of the Chinese characters."

It’s okay to cultivate immortality, but you shouldn’t. You have read so many books since you were a child, but you are still like us.”

"Oh, it's God's will." Nihou shook his head. His father was once a teacher in Dashi Village. He did read a lot of books since he was a child, but what's the use? This world is not a world for scholars after all.

If he had become more powerful by reading more, his father would not have been eaten by the wild beasts on the mountain.

Mu Mu's real name is Lu Li. Because he is as skinny as a monkey, he was called Ni Monkey by the two of them.

The three of them all came from Dashi Village, twenty miles away from Longxing Town. Except for Lu Li, the fat man was named Chen Zhong, nicknamed Fatty Chen, and the other skinny boy was named Qin Shouren, nicknamed Qin Beast.

The three of them are all thirteen years old this year. They grew up together and have a good relationship. They are all able to stand alone in Dashi Village. Therefore, Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren's parents were not accompanied by them when they woke up this time.

As for Lu Li, his mother died when he was born

, and my father also died in a wild beast attack two years ago.

From then on, he thought about cultivating immortals and strengthening his body. However, fate manipulated people and he did not have the qualifications to be an immortal after all.

Behind the three of them was a nine-year-old child named Li Xiangyun, who was also from Dashi Village. His parents didn't come this time, so they just entrusted Lu Li and the others to take care of him.

It was June at this time, and the weather was muggy and hot.

In a blink of an eye, the group of people came to a small river. Because Qin Shouren didn't want to go back to help with the farm work, they decided to go down to the river to fish and play until dark before going back.

This river is called Tanshui River. Lu Li and the others often come here to bathe. They are very familiar with the water conditions here. As soon as they arrived at the river, they jumped in without taking off their clothes.

Although Li Xiangyun is young, he also loves to play in water and has good water skills. When he saw this, he called out and followed him.

"The water here is deep, Xiangyun, go down there." Lu Li called to Li Xiangyun as he swam deeper. Although the other party knew how to swim, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen, and he might not be able to explain to Li Xiangyun's father.

"Oh." Li Xiangyun responded and obediently swam downstream to the shallow water.

"Haha, seven-star, I touched a seven-star!" At this moment, Qin Shouren suddenly emerged from the water, holding a tawny seven-star perch in his hand, and shouted happily.

"I caught one too!" Chen Zhong's big head also popped out of the water, holding a fish and loach in his hand.

"Look at me!"

Not to be outdone, Lu Li plunged in and groped in the crevices of the rocks. Suddenly, Lu Li frowned and felt that he touched something that didn't look like a fish. It was numb and tingling.

He was about to take it out to see what it was, but unexpectedly, he used too much force and was cut open by a sharp stone crack. Blood instantly flowed out. Lu Li was in pain, so he let go of the thing and pulled his hand back.
