Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16294 Test
Lu Yong looked at the door to the cave. In front of the door was a platform about one meter square. He landed directly on the platform and looked at the door. The door was made of wood and looked very ordinary, but it was shimmering with a faint light. Lu Yong took out his identity jade token and placed it on the door. The light on the door disappeared the next moment, and then he pushed the door open and went inside.

Upon entering the room, Lu Yong was taken aback. He had assumed it would be a small room, but he was wrong. The room was quite nice. Right inside was a living room with a wooden sofa and coffee table. Although it wasn't large, it was sufficient.

There was a door on each side. Lu Yong glanced at the door on the left, which led to a bedroom, while the other side led to a meditation room. There were only three rooms, but they were still quite nice and sufficient. This was better than Lu Yong had imagined, and even better than most of the rooms he had ever stayed in. He was a rogue cultivator, and in the past, he was lucky to have a place to live.

After inspecting the room, Lu Yong went to the living room. When he arrived, he saw a spatial bag on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. Lu Yong remembered that the sect disciple had mentioned that there were perks for him in the room.

Lu Yong walked over, picked up the spatial bag, and used his spiritual power to look inside. He found a hundred crystals and several jade slips inside. Lu Yong picked up one of the jade slips and glanced at it. He found that it contained religious rules. He looked at it and found that there was nothing he could not accept. Moreover, the rules did not stipulate that they had to worship any gods, so he was relieved.

Lu Yong then picked up a few more jade slips and looked at them. He found that the jade slips contained several spells, some of which were not common but very useful. Lu Yong didn't know any of these spells. He immediately became excited. No matter what, it was really great to be able to get these good things as soon as he joined the cult.

Lu Yong didn't plan to leave either. He knew that the people in the sect must be very busy these days, and they had also told him that they would be testing his talent in a few days, so he shouldn't leave.

He's old enough to be a child, long past his rebellious phase, and he won't do the things the church forbids him from doing.

Lu Yong decided that he would spend the next few days in his room studying those techniques and waiting for the cult's notification.

This training lasted for three days. For cultivators like Lu Yong, a few days was nothing. Sometimes, they would go into seclusion for a long time, so three days was really nothing.

After finishing his cultivation that day, Lu Yong sat down in the living room, but his expression was not good. He had noticed this during his cultivation over the past few days: his strength had not increased at all; on the contrary, it had begun to slowly decline. This was the situation Lu Yong least wanted to see, but it had happened, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Just then, a voice suddenly came: "Everyone, come out and assemble." Lu Yong quickly went out of the room. When he got outside, he saw that there was a cultivator standing in the cave where they were, and everyone from the other rooms also came out.

The cultivator standing in the middle of the cave glanced at Lu Yong and the others, then said, "Everyone, come here for a test. This test will assess your talents to see if they match what you originally knew." He paused, then continued, "Starting from Level A, proceed in turn." Everyone responded, and a cultivator flew towards the tester. Once the cultivator reached the tester, the tester immediately produced a magic array. A red light emanated from the array, sweeping across the tested cultivator. The tester then said, "Dual attributes of Water and Wood, good talent, next."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator was taken aback, and then his expression changed. He immediately asked, "Am I really a dual-attribute of water and wood? Why did I only show the wood attribute when I took the test before?"

The cultivator who conducted the test glanced at him and said, "That's because your previous test was inaccurate. Your strongest talent is water attribute. Go, and in a while, the Divine Church will help you adjust your cultivation method." The cultivator responded and turned to leave with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Lu Yong overheard their conversation and was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that someone would actually misunderstand his talent.

Then the others went to take the test one by one, and the result was that many people found that their talents were all wrong. The talents they thought they had were actually all wrong, which made everyone's faces look rather unpleasant.

To understand their talents, we must know that when they were young, various sects or divine kingdoms sent people to conduct unified tests on them. The fact that so many errors occurred proves that their talents were misjudged in childhood. If only one or two people made mistakes, it would be understandable; it could be attributed to negligence on the part of the testers. But for so many people to all make mistakes is suspicious. It indicates that the other party acted intentionally, and that's the most terrifying aspect.

If the person who tested them deliberately made a mistake, why would they do that? Did they not want to train them, or was someone intentionally suppressing them? Either way, it's not a good thing.

Lu Yong's face was also very ugly. Although he hadn't been tested yet, Lu Yong felt that his talent might have been misjudged. He had also noticed that in recent years, various sects, aristocratic families, and even the Divine Kingdom had been recruiting fewer and fewer people from the common people. He used to think that these people weren't talented enough, but now it seemed that there might be something else going on. It was possible that someone was deliberately unwilling to cultivate them, or that someone was deliberately blocking their path to advancement.

Soon it was Lu Yong's turn. When the red light swept over Lu Yong, he didn't feel anything. Then he heard the disciple who was testing him say, "Fire, wood, and earth attribute talents, not bad."

In the cultivation world, attributes are also ranked. Many people have a misconception that a cultivator only possesses a certain attribute. However, this is not the case. Everyone has five elements, and the attribute referred to here is that one of their attributes is higher. What cultivators want is this kind of exceptionally high attribute, which is called spiritual root. What they want to do is strengthen this spiritual root to support their cultivation.

Why is one of the attributes in a person's body particularly high? This is a kind of talent. So why is this talent called a spiritual root? It's because when this attribute is high, it's easier to absorb external energy. For example, if your fire attribute talent is high, you can more easily sense the fire attribute spiritual energy in the outside world, making it easier to cultivate. This is what is called a spiritual root.

Of course, it's not true that having only one spiritual root is the best. In fact, spiritual roots vary in strength. If a person has strong spiritual roots of all attributes, then that person's talent is actually the best, because they can sense all the spiritual energy in the world. They can cultivate more easily, and they can even cultivate multiple techniques at the same time. Their cultivation time will also be longer than others, and such a person will achieve greater success. Therefore, the higher the strength and the more spiritual roots one has, the better one's talent.

Lu Yong clearly remembered that when he was young, the person who tested him said that he had an earth-attribute spiritual root, a single spiritual root, and that the strength of the spiritual root was not enough, so he was not chosen by the Divine Kingdom. Now, the person who tested him told him that he had three spiritual roots, and that his strongest spiritual root was actually a fire-attribute spiritual root, followed by a wood-attribute spiritual root, while the earth-attribute spiritual root was the weakest. In other words, the person who tested him concealed his true talent, which was equivalent to cutting off his path of cultivation.

It's important to understand that people like Lu Yong have very limited access to cultivation resources, especially cultivation techniques, which are extremely rare. Lu Yong has always cultivated earth-attribute techniques. Even after he became a rogue cultivator and stopped practicing basic earth-attribute techniques, he still practiced earth-attribute techniques. Now he realizes that his talent actually encompasses fire, wood, and earth attributes, with fire being his strongest talent. This means that he chose the wrong cultivation technique from the very beginning.

Lu Yong's eyes were already red. Although he only learned the truth today, it was too late. He was already too old, and even if he changed his cultivation method now, it would be too late. For a moment, Lu Yong felt a mix of emotions, and in the end, he could only let out a deep sigh.

Lu Yong returned to his room and stood there quietly, his face calm. He knew it was all too late. It was too late to say anything now. He was too old. Even if he changed his cultivation method, nothing could change. His life was over.

Does he hate it? Of course he hates it. If the person who tested him hadn't lied to him and had instead told him about his true talent, he might have a different life now. But he missed that opportunity, and only now, at this age when all hope is lost, has he discovered his true talent. It's a pity, it's all too late.

Thinking of this, Lu Yong sighed again. Then he glanced at the people being tested below. Some of them were still very young and had a chance, but what about him? He had lost his chance forever.

Everyone finished the test quickly. The person in charge of the test glanced at them and then said, "In a few days, the sect will give you all new cultivation techniques. These techniques will be perfectly suited to you. I hope you will practice them diligently."

Everyone responded. Although Lu Yong also responded, he knew very well that even if he changed his cultivation method, there wouldn't be much change. He had long since lost his chance.
