The north wind was blowing coldly, and the heavy snow merged the sky and the earth into one, blocking all life. But even in this cold winter day, Liutucheng was decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere, and the streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere.
Today is New Year's Day. In addition to being a festival to celebrate the beginning of a new year, it is also an extremely meaningful day for families with children who have just turned six years old. That is
Spiritual roots awaken!
The awakening of spiritual roots is the most important ritual in life for the people of Kaiyang Continent, and it is also the crucial first step to truly "enter" this world.
Everyone on Kaiyang Continent has spiritual roots, and the attributes of the spiritual roots will represent whether a person is suitable for cultivation. Practitioners on Kaiyang Road have extremely high rights and honors. Regardless of your current status, as long as your spiritual roots are
If you are good enough, even the child of a death row prisoner can help your elders get out of trouble and let your family enjoy the glory.
There is an Emperor Temple in the east of Liutucheng. It is a temple to commemorate the legendary Emperor Kaiyang. Although the incense is good on weekdays, it is blocked very early in the morning like today, which only happens once a year.
Today, this is the venue responsible for the annual spiritual root awakening. When a child in the family reaches the age of six, all members of the family gather around the "hope" of the family to pray for him to have a brilliant future.
When the sun rose above the head, the gate of the Emperor Temple slowly opened to both sides. Unexpectedly, the people who had been waiting for a long time did not rush in. Instead, they lined up and walked in neatly.
In fact, people have long been eager to rush in and grab a good seat, but they just want to think about it, this is the place where the spiritual root awakening ceremony is held, who dares to make a mistake? Didn't they see that the city lord of Liutu City was also lining up behind him?
What?
On Kaiyang Road, the organization responsible for the awakening of spiritual roots is called Xuanling Hall. Only the special secret method of Xuanling Hall can awaken the spiritual roots. The person in charge of the awakening ceremony of Liutucheng in Xuanling Hall is a man who looks to be in his eighties.
The old man, despite his old and frail appearance, is actually an out-and-out strong man in the Spirit Control Realm.
As families entered one by one, various lights began to flash in the Emperor's Temple, and the spiritual root awakening ceremony began in an orderly manner.
"Initial spiritual power thirty-seven, fire attribute spiritual root, spiritual power purity, yellow, low grade"
"Initial spiritual power twelve, wood attribute spiritual root, spiritual power purity, yellow, low grade"
"Initial spiritual power thirty-one, metallic spiritual root, spiritual power purity, yellow, low grade"
As the numbers are reported, hopes are shattered one by one. Those with outstanding spiritual roots can certainly turn around and become glorious masters, but those with poor spiritual roots can only choose the life of ordinary people, and even for some
For the heirs of a large family, they will face a devastating blow, and their wealth and wealth will disappear in an instant.
Some people will naturally be happy when they are sad. Amid the sighs, suddenly a ray of light rose up and turned into a small flying dragon with red and green wings hovering over the child's head. At the same time, on the child's arm,
The number eighty-one also appeared at the same time.
The old man in charge of the spiritual root awakening ceremony showed surprise for the first time. He stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Qin Xiuwen, initial spiritual power is eighty-one, spiritual root with dual attributes of fire and wood, and contains
The talent of the secondary divine beast flying dragon!”
Hearing this, everyone present exclaimed. Even Qin Xiuwen's father, who was always as calm as a city lord, started to tremble with excitement.
It's not surprising that everyone is like this. Qin Xiuwen's spiritual roots are really too rare. Not to mention the extremely high initial spiritual power, the dual attribute spiritual roots of fire and wood plus the talent of possessing the secondary divine beast flying dragon are unique. This kind of spiritual root is unique.
Genliu Tucheng has not appeared for hundreds of years.
The old man couldn't wait to finish reciting the last verse.
The next moment, a flash of deep red appeared above Qin Xiuwen's head, like a sea of fire in purgatory, while the two-winged little flying dragon flapped its wings happily and swam in the sea of fire.
Seeing this, the old man's pupils shrank suddenly. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Qin Xiuwen, with an initial spiritual power of eighty-one, a fire and wood dual attribute spiritual root, and the talent of a secondary divine beast, a flying dragon.
Purity, red, top quality!”
The old man himself was in the spirit-controlling realm, and this unreserved message spread throughout Liutucheng in an instant. As a result, everyone who was in Liutucheng at this moment knew that there was a genius here.
As Qin Xiuwen's spiritual root attribute was reported, everyone present turned their attention to this chubby little boy in gorgeous clothes. The boy's face was filled with a smile of joy, and his little hands were clenched tightly with excitement.
With.
Not to mention his own child, even his father Qin Lin couldn't manage his expression well at such a happy event. The corners of Qin Lin's mouth were almost split to the base of his ears. This was something he tried hard to suppress so as not to lose his composure, otherwise he would have hugged him.
My son started cheering.
"Congratulations to City Master Qin! Your son is a genius and his achievements are immeasurable. He will surely become a saint in the future. This is Liu Tucheng's great fortune!"
After the first person started, more people soon came forward to congratulate him. Qin Lin didn't have the airs of a city lord and returned the favor one by one to thank him.
As the city lord, he is more worried than anyone else that his son's spiritual roots are not good enough, because that will cause Qin Xiuwen to lose the inheritance rights of the next city lord. Fortunately, Qin Xiuwen's excellence far exceeded his expectations, and not only was the big stone in his heart finally settled
He couldn't wait to witness the rise of his son and the entire Qin family.
After Qin Xiuwen, who was the center of attention, was happy, he looked at the next little boy who was about to awaken his spiritual roots.
The boy's name is Ning Feng. He is slightly thinner than Qin Xiuwen and more than half a year younger than him. He is timidly following his father. Qin Xiuwen sneers at Ning Feng's face. He knows this stinker very well.
The kid is a complete two-faced person. He looks honest and courteous in front of adults. When there are no adults, he is a little bully. There are many problems between the two. In addition, what makes Qin Xiuwen even more angry is that,
Although he is the son of the city lord of Liutucheng, the other party is also the child of the number one medicine merchant in Liutucheng. For the development of Liutucheng, his father often has to scold him even though he has been wronged.
But today, he, Qin Xiuwen, finally had a chance to get his place back!
Seeing that Ning Feng was about to awaken his spiritual roots, Qin Xiuwen said angrily from the side. "Ning Feng, do you dare to compete with me to see whose spiritual power is higher!"
If it were in the past, Qin Lin would have stopped his son long ago, so how could he let him be so provocative? But today Qin Lin is in a good mood, and Qin Xiuwen can let him indulge in this little indulgence.
After hearing this, Ning Feng looked at Qin Xiuwen, then raised his head and looked at his father who was by his side, and then said to Qin Xiuwen in a submissive voice: "Father taught me that a gentleman should not be aggressive and aggressive, that is what villains do.
for."
Qin Xiuwen could not understand the meaning of Ning Feng's words. Instead, he thought that the other party was afraid of him, so he shouted even louder: "I think you are afraid. If you are afraid, you and your people will get out of the east of the city.
That land belongs to us from now on."
After hearing this, Ning Feng sighed heavily. He put his hand on his chest and said sadly: "Brother Xiuwen, Liutucheng is our common home. It does not belong to any of us. Even if you are
The future city lord cannot arbitrarily enclose the land and deprive us of the place where we live. How is this different from banditry?"
Qin Xiuwen was stunned by what Ning Feng said. The land in the east of the city he mentioned was naturally the place where children like them played. Everyone knew this. But why did Ning Feng turn it into land occupation and deprivation?
Robbery and stuff like that, what on earth does that mean?
Qin Xiuwen didn't turn a corner, but his father Qin Lin couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled his son back to him to prevent him from making too many mistakes. He was the son of a businessman, but he was as articulate as his own son.
of.
After pulling his son back, Qin Lin smiled at Ning Feng's father, Ning Yuze, and hugged his fists, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was an adult. His own child lost in a quarrel. No matter how much he protected the cub, he was too embarrassed to speak up.
On the other side, Ning Yuze also responded with a somewhat embarrassed smile and cupped his fists. The other party was the city lord, not to mention that Qin Xiuwen's spiritual roots had already been revealed, and his rise was inevitable. What he wanted to think about was how to curry favor with the Qin family in the future.
Ning Feng came to the old man. Because of Qin Xiuwen's amazing spiritual roots, the old man was much energetic. Seeing Ning Feng approaching, he took the initiative to take Ning Feng's hand, rolled up his sleeve and touched it with his fingers.
Holding the golden talisman beside him, he wrote three mysterious symbols on Ning Feng's arm, and then began to recite the incantation for spiritual root awakening.
As the incantation was finished, the first symbol began to gradually integrate into Ning Feng's arm. Ning Feng's vision suddenly went dark, and then he came to a pale world, with no color in either the sky or the earth. But all of this, Ning Feng
He didn't pay attention to the peaks, because a towering giant tree had already attracted all his attention. This tree ran through the sky and the earth, and its height seemed to be endless. It used the sun and the moon as its crown, and blocked the stars as its branches.
Seeing this giant tree, Ning Feng remembered some of the knowledge his father told him about spiritual roots.
When spiritual roots are awakened, everyone will see their own spiritual roots. The higher the initial spiritual power, the larger the spiritual roots.
"I don't know if I am big or not, but this is just an ordinary spiritual root. It would be so majestic if it could turn into a little dragon like Fatty Qin's spiritual root."
When Ning Feng complained that his spiritual roots were not enough to scare people, there was an uproar outside. A golden light shot out from Ning Feng's arm and turned into an unnamed ancient tree standing on Ning Feng's arm. The ancient tree
The size is far greater than the flying dragon Qin Xiuwen had before.
The old man in charge of spiritual root awakening originally thought that Qin Xiuwen's spiritual roots were the best he had ever seen in his life, but at this time Ning Feng's spiritual roots refreshed his understanding again, especially the one faintly visible on Ning Feng's arm.
Although the numbers are a little blurry, they look like one hundred!
The old man rubbed his eyes, and it seemed that the number was still one hundred. He rubbed it again, and although it was very blurry, it was still one hundred. During this process, the old man did not say a word, but in fact, a huge wave of waves surged in his heart.
"The initial spiritual power value is one hundred! How is it possible! There has never been one hundred in history, and the size of this spiritual root is also wrong. Is it really one hundred? It's not impossible."
Countless questions appeared in the old man's mind. Although the number one hundred does not sound like a lot, it is only nineteen points higher than Qin Xiuwen, but its meaning is different. One hundred represents the ultimate level of initial spiritual power, and is more important.
What is true is that in the tens of millions of years of history of Kaiyang Continent, the highest initial spiritual power when spiritual power awakened was only ninety-six.
"One hundred." The old man was about to announce, but suddenly stopped talking, because he did not dare to announce this number, not only because he doubted the authenticity of this number, but also because he was afraid that if this number was true,
Once the news spreads, the entire Kaiyang Continent will set off a storm for this son.
"Although this spiritual root is very big and has the talent of tree shape, the strongest spiritual root with the talent of tree shape in history is ninety-one. This matter needs to be investigated. Let me just say nine first.
Eleven, anyway, this child is in Liutucheng. After I report this matter, if those big shots are interested, they will come to verify it within a month."
After making a quick decision, the old man reached out and gently brushed Ning Feng's arm. The original number "one hundred" was covered by the golden number "ninety-one".
"Initial spiritual power, ninety-one! Has tree-shaped talent!"
