Chapter 136 Changes and Development (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

Sun Changfeng and the other two 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 should not stop because of this.

For a family, if it wants to grow and develop, the addition of fresh blood is an indispensable and important part. Every two years, all children of the appropriate age among the mortals affiliated with the family will be tested for their spiritual roots.

Once it is found that the seedlings with spiritual roots are qualified to embark on the path of cultivation, they will be brought back to the family for unified cultivation, and thus officially become a member of the family. This is the main opportunity for the family to increase fresh blood. Sun Mingsheng also officially became a member of the family through this spiritual root test.

In addition, all the family monks who travel outside will also check the cultivation qualifications of some children at the right time and bring them back to Shenquan Mountain.

Lingyu Town, in front of the Lingyu Mine

All the miners lined up neatly in a black mass, changing their busyness in the past and did not enter the mine to mine spiritual ore.

Today is the spiritual root test conference that is held every two years. The family will specially send monks to carry spiritual stones to conduct a basic test on each child of appropriate age.

According to the family rules, on the day of the spiritual root test, all activities in the mortal town to which they belong can be stopped. This is also one of their few holidays.

"The Immortal Master has arrived. The people of Lingyu Town welcome the Immortal Master." At noon, with a loud rumbling sound, two huge silly bull beasts appeared.

The two cultivators riding the silly bull beasts are relatively young and immature, and they are obviously different from the immortal master who was in charge of the spiritual root test before, who looked white-haired and fairy-like.

The immortal masters who were originally responsible for the spiritual root test have basically all been summoned to the Beast Control City. This time, the ones sent are the real core cultivators of the family.

But for these mortals, the old immortal master who looks fairy-like always has an inexplicable sense of trust.

Of course, all of these are just their psychological activities. They naturally have full trust in the immortal master from the family.

"According to the order of the family, today we two will be responsible for the spiritual root detection of children of school age in Lingyu Town. The mayor will be responsible for maintaining order and conducting the detection in order. No one needs to be anxious. No children will be left out. Let's get started." The slightly older monk gave a few simple instructions and took out a fist-sized colorful stone.

This stone, which seems to have no special features except for its color, is the famous spiritual stone, which is specially used to detect spiritual roots.

The spiritual stone is not artificially synthesized. It can only be produced in some large mineral veins, and there is no rule. It can only rely on luck.

The spiritual stone is also a spiritual object of the family's heritage. It is the cornerstone of the family's development and growth. There are only three in the Sun family at present.

Whenever it is time to detect spiritual roots, the family will send three groups of six late-stage Qi Refining monks to take turns to detect.

The detection of spiritual roots is mainly based on the spiritual stone, but each detection of a mortal's spiritual root requires a certain amount of mana. Under the huge number, this is not an easy task.

However, every time a potential cultivator with spiritual roots is found who is qualified to embark on the path of cultivation, the family will distinguish and reward them according to their spiritual root qualifications, which is also a good assignment.

"Put your hands on the spiritual root detection stone and concentrate on it to detect the spiritual roots." The spiritual root detection began, and the two cultivators just gave a simple instruction.

For mortals belonging to the family, detecting spiritual roots is not a strange thing. Almost everyone has had relevant experience.

Because it involves the fate of this life, before the spiritual root detection conference begins, parents will give thousands of instructions and even practice countless times, hoping to increase the success rate.

Therefore, during the detection process, the cultivator only needs to use magic power to activate the spiritual root detection stone. If there is a spiritual root, the spiritual stone will emit a corresponding color of light, and the strength of each light is the embodiment of the spiritual root attribute.

Children come with full of hope, but are destined to return disappointed. Among mortals, spiritual root owners are extremely rare, and they are genuine and one in a thousand.

Children with spiritual roots were detected occasionally, mainly with four or five spiritual roots. Their mission was to marry and have children on Shenquan Mountain, and to breed younger monks with better spiritual roots for the family.

Until the first late-stage Qi Refining monk consumed too much mana, no child with spiritual roots had been detected in Lingyu Town, and all the tests had been completed halfway.

For this situation, except for the slightly disappointed parents of the children, the monks and the mayor had expected it.

Every two years, the entire Sun family only harvested three or five children with spiritual roots. It was very normal for a town to get nothing.

The same scene unfolded in almost all mortal towns belonging to the Sun family. Whenever a child with spiritual roots appeared, there would be a burst of excited shouts, which was the most sincere blessing.

The operation of a family will naturally not be stagnant because of the spiritual root detection. Except for a small number of elders, everyone is doing their own job and has not paid any attention. At most, they are just curious about how many children with spiritual roots will appear this year.

Shenquan Mountain, Spiritual Beast Valley

"The first-level top-grade eight-legged spider has hatched. This is the first first-level top-grade spiritual beast in the family, and its combat power is not cheap. After being tamed, it will obviously improve the combat power of the late-stage cultivators of Qi Refining." Sun Mingwang drilled out from an underground cave.

Regardless of the dust on his body, his face was full of excitement. He reported the good news to his father Sun Xunyang and introduced the birth of the first first-level top-grade spiritual beast in the family.

After the eight-legged spider becomes an adult, it is a first-level top-grade spiritual beast with great strength. Its shell has a certain degree of defense. The spider silk is of high quality and can be used as a spiritual material for refining inner armor. It can be said to have both offensive and auxiliary functions.

"The eight-legged spider is only an entry-level spirit beast among the first-class high-quality spirit beasts. It is still a long way from the three-headed snake, the family's guardian spirit beast." Sun Xunyang was satisfied in his heart, but he was always cold and never praised directly.

Since the family made the decision to cultivate the guardian spirit beast, the Spirit Beast Valley has also been in a rapid development and growth.

From the initial two or three kittens to now having more than twenty first-class high-, medium- and low-quality spirit beasts, it has made great progress.

But what Sun Changfeng got from the auction was the second-class high-quality three-headed snake egg. Over the years, it has been stored in the family's secret library and nurtured with special methods. It has not been hatched yet. It is precisely because there is no cultivator proficient in this way in the Spirit Beast Valley or even in the family, and it takes enough time to explore it bit by bit.

This is also the only way for a family to develop. Any skill requires countless cultivators to work hard.
