Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 137: Immortal Ascension Conference (Update: Thanks to Brother Jian V for the -point reward)
In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Every year on September 15th, the founder of the sect, Zhang Zushi, set the day to test the spiritual roots of children aged six and above under the Chongming Sect.

This was a big day. Except for Pei Yi who stayed behind to guard the sect and Zhou Xinran who continued to manage the Chongming Building, all the other Chongming sect members came to Chongming City and were divided into groups to test their spiritual roots.

"Yuan Changsheng." Yuan Changsheng, who was ranked first, walked past Pei Que who was calling out his name, and came to Han Yundao who was holding a spirit measuring ruler. He smiled and greeted "Brother Han".

The latter also smiled, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart as he stretched out the spirit-measuring ruler. He was not the only one in the Chongming Sect who felt this way. They all cared about this child whom they had watched grow up since childhood.

As a father, Yuan Jin directly requested that Yuan Changsheng be arranged as the first one to avoid having to worry for too long.

"Five spiritual roots." Han Yun said, looking at the spiritual light on the spirit measuring ruler, with a complicated expression on his face. He took the spirit measuring ruler, touched Yuan Changsheng's head, and gently told him to go find the elders.

After hearing this result, the people from the Chongming Sect present didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The worst five spiritual roots are naturally much better than having no spiritual roots, but if you really want to practice to become an immortal, then look at Mo'er now.

It has been four years since Kang Dabao started practicing, and she has not been short of spiritual resources like other people. However, she has not even reached the threshold of leading the spirit into her body.

"Good boy." Among the crowd, only Kang Dabao showed an indifferent expression.

At this moment, he looked at Yuan Changsheng, whose panicked face was, with a warm expression. As the son of a cultivator, even though he was only a six-year-old boy, he already knew a lot of things.

Kang Dabao said in a gentle voice, "Go tell your two mothers quickly, don't let them worry, it's a good thing."

Yuan Jin also smiled and said a few words to his eldest son, then sent him to find the second director. Then he came up to Kang Dabao and said, "Senior Brother." He paused halfway through, not knowing what to say.

Kang Dabao sat alone in the headmaster's chair and did not answer. The two brothers remained silent for a while. The sounds of tests from the stage and the audience came into their ears one after another.

"Kang Rongping, no."

"Zhang Erniu, no."

"Jia Musheng, no."

"He Niao Niao, no."

After listening for a little while longer, no further sound was heard from the fairy seedling.

Kang Dabao then spoke, which was considered a comfort.

"Many foundation-building cultivators don't have immortal descendants. Isn't that good enough? There's nothing to be afraid of. Didn't the founding ancestor of David Immortal Dynasty also have five spiritual roots?"

"That's right, senior brother." Yuan Jin felt a little better, his expression eased, and he echoed.

“Only when you raise children do you know the kindness of your parents, which is as deep as the sea.” Yuan Jin’s worries are perfectly normal. How many normal parents in the world don’t worry about their children?

"Neither of us may be able to build a foundation, so why are you worrying about something so far away?" Kang Dabao spoke again, and Yuan Jin nodded. He felt a lot more cheerful, but he was not in the mood to talk anymore.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Qing and Zhou Yixiu at the side didn't know how to comfort him, so they also kept silent.

Several younger generations were not familiar with the use of the spirit measuring ruler, so only more than 2,000 children of appropriate age were able to test it until sunset.

This time, in addition to Yuan Changsheng, a boy named Song Hui and a little girl named Dong Liuer were found to have four spiritual roots. The latter was also a distant relative of the second Dong family. In this way, two of the three immortal seedlings this year were actually from Yuan Jin's family.

The downside is that there are too few mortals under your rule. Even when Patriarch Zhang was here, he was a true cultivator at the foundation-building stage, but there were fewer mortals in Chongming City than there are today, and every time there was an immortal ascension meeting, he would only discover two or three immortal seedlings.

However, if one wants to enrich the sect, there are more than one way to test for immortal seeds among the mortals under one's rule. There are roughly several ways.

One is to send more disciples out to travel and gain experience, and let them carry a spirit-measuring ruler with them, and when they remember something, they can randomly find a few boys to test their luck.

It's just that the Chongming Sect is unable to spare any manpower right now. Even if they find a good immortal seedling, there will still be some disputes if it is in the territory of other forces.

Recruiting low-level independent practitioners is also a method, and many small forces do so.

However, this type of disciples are often the most selfish and have no idea of ​​their roots. Many of them are lone wolves who use the sect as a springboard. Even if you treat them sincerely, you may not be able to tame them.

What's more, how could the sect not be a little wary of these independent cultivators?

Only the disciples who have been educated and brought up since childhood are the most trustworthy pillars of the sect.

Kang Dabao has been in charge of the sect for so many years since the old master passed away, and he has only accepted one octogenarian as a disciple. Also, not long ago, Lu Xun's caravan was short of manpower, so he stuffed the Xuping County Du surnamed cultivator, called Du Qing, in. In fact, there are only two of them, and they are both incompetent and have no roots. The advantage is that they are safe and easy to use.

Even so, their immediate relatives had to move to Chongming City to "enjoy their lives". Although Ji Wuwu was not young anymore, he was still given a pair of beautiful girls, and they had given birth to many children in the past few years.

Kang Dabao had refused Kang Dahou's invitation to a banquet, as his cousin was becoming more and more deadly. The former had given him some pills to strengthen his body, but he couldn't stand the tiger and wolf medicine that the latter kept giving him, and it seemed to have little effect.

Everyone has his own fate, and Kang Dabao didn't take this matter too seriously.

Chongming City had not done a good job in taking in refugees and bringing in newborns in recent years. This was certainly due to objective factors such as the changing external situation and the chaos, but it was also related to Kang Dahou's inability.

However, in the current Chongming Kang family, Kang Dahou can be regarded as the most outstanding one in terms of his ability to lead a family.

If we are ruthless enough to take him down and hastily replace him with another family member, it will break the rule of Chongming Sect that has been in place for nearly two hundred years that the relatives of the leader serve as mortal lords, and it may not be a good thing for the development of Chongming City.

On the way back, he turned around and said to Yuan Jin: "Let Changsheng become Pei's disciple. If he has some talent for alchemy, he will not lack resources for future cultivation."

Yuan Jin readily agreed. The three of him were of the same clan, so it made no difference whether they swore homage to Jiang Qing and Kang Dabao or not.

As for Zhou Yixiu, although he was also a full-fledged fellow disciple on the roster, his cultivation was not high and he was quite old.

A top-grade first-rank alchemist is rare and good, but if Yuan Jin were to choose a master for his son, he would still think that Pei Yi, a first-rank alchemist who has the potential to build a foundation and is young, is better.

This is the reason why cultivators rarely allow their descendants to practice under them. Would you be reluctant to pass on the things you taught your disciples to your own blood relatives?

The so-called in-laws and master-disciple relationships are actually a good means to bring both parties closer and consolidate the relationship.

"Then I have to prepare a gift for Senior Brother Pei when I go back. Senior Brother, what do you think I should give him?" Yuan Jin was a little distressed. Pei Yi was quite wealthy now, and he couldn't afford to give him the magic weapon he had refined himself.

"That's something you as a father should think about. Why are you asking me?" Kang Dabao answered lazily. He rode his black-blooded horse a few steps away from Yuan Jin and started thinking about the matter of the Golden Eyes.

With the help of Taoist Heilu, he is now only waiting for the accumulation of spiritual energy to break through to the seventh level of Qi training, and there is no bottleneck at all.

It is much more difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the Golden Eyes that can break illusions. Not to mention how difficult it is to learn this cosmic-level method, if one wants to make further progress after reaching the minor success stage, one must find the second-level spiritual herb, the Moon Fern.

It just so happened that Master Kang had read all the classics in the sect, and asked He Dezong to let his caravan help search for it.

Unfortunately, many days have passed and there is still no news.

Although Kang Dabao still has room for improvement at the minor success stage and does not need to be too anxious, he still wants to get information about the Moon Fern, an important spiritual object, as soon as possible in order to make preparations.

After thinking for a long time, it was just wishful thinking. The head of Kang Da simply gave up the idea and rode the black-blooded horse to the side of Jiang Qing. The latter first tilted his head to look at the animal cart that the second director and Yuan Changsheng were riding in, and then he also started to worry about Yuan Changsheng's future with Kang Dabao.

Jiang Qing is actually a person who appears cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. No, when facing people close to him, he is actually a person who is warm-hearted and warm-hearted.

He was raised by his two senior brothers since he was a child. Yuan Changsheng was Yuan Jin's eldest son, and in his eyes, he was no different from his own son. Now that Changsheng had tested positive for only five spiritual roots, which had almost no chance of becoming a Taoist priest, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Kang Dabao had no choice but to repeat the words he had used to comfort Yuan Jin. Seeing that Jiang Qing's expression had improved a lot, he turned his gaze to the other two immortal Miao people who were riding on the same wild ox with Han Yundao and Zhang Yue, and changed the subject, saying, "Dong Liu'er and the two brothers and sisters are indeed from the same clan, and they do look alike. But which Song family is this Song Hui a descendant of?"

"I was just about to tell you about this, but Gang Yundao came over and reported that Song Hui is from the Song family of Pinghebao, and is the younger brother of the second sister Song." Jiang Qing was a little happy when he mentioned this, and he didn't notice the change in Kang Dabao's face, and then asked, "Speaking of which, the second sister's shop in Linghe Market has not been open for a long time. The last time I asked Ma Guangfu, she said she didn't know."

"I don't know if my second sister has been in trouble. I have asked the eldest brother of the He family to take the caravan to find out some news. If we can find my second sister, she will be so happy to know that the Song family in Pinghebao has produced another immortal." Jiang Qing sighed. A female cultivator with an enchanting appearance and a hot body suddenly disappeared, and there was still no news after such a long time. How likely is it that she was not harmed by a villain outside?

"Yes, if the second sister knew about this, she would definitely be happy." Kang Dabao looked at little Song Hui, who was looking at Han Yundao with big eyes full of admiration, and said with emotion.

At the same time, he stroked the little thing in his sleeve, and thought of the "turtle son" who saved his life and the girl in plain clothes whose face had become blurred and who always handed him fruits with a smile.

"The road to seeking the truth is so bleak."
