Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 298 0297: Clan Members Test Qualification

Cheng Zongyang looked at the people below, then looked at his cousin Zhou Zhenyuan beside him.

"Cousin, go get ready."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenyuan nodded slightly and personally carried the prepared table to the front.

On the wooden table, there was a stack of spirit paper for testing spirit bones and a spirit stone. After that, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which were used to record the qualifications of each person.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the people below and said:

"I haven't been back for a long time. You have all changed a lot. You have all grown up."

He naturally noticed his younger brother and sister.

Especially the little Cheng Zongyun, who now stands in line in a very serious manner, with a serious look on her face. Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing when he saw her. But it also showed that she had suffered a lot.

He scanned the people of the Earthly Branches one by one, and found that they were basically around ten years old. This was also the best age to cultivate, whether in terms of character, thinking, or aptitude.

"The reason why I asked you to gather together today is to test your aptitude and arrange the direction of your future training." Cheng Zongyang spoke word by word, neither hurriedly nor slowly, at a speed that they could all hear clearly:

"So, when your name is called, go over there and take the test. After the test, go back to where you were. Do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly." Everyone shouted in unison!
This resounding voice made Cheng Zongyang and others very satisfied, indicating that the training results were effective.

"Let's start." Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhou Zhenyuan.

The latter nodded, immediately opened the roster, and read out the first name: "Cheng Zongliang."

"Here!" Cheng Zongliang shouted when he heard his name, and then stepped out of the line and came to the table.

Then, at Zhou Zhenyuan's instruction, he pierced his finger with a needle, letting the blood stain the spirit-testing paper. He then picked up the spirit-testing stone and held it tightly for a moment.

Zhou Zhenyuan had no intention of announcing it. After seeing that four colors appeared on the spirit-testing paper and the spirit-testing stone had only one golden light, he wrote it down.

"With the four attributes of spiritual bones and a single spiritual root, if I were to practice cultivation now, I would be able to progress very quickly on the road to becoming an immortal." Cheng Zongyang thought to himself.

He doesn't want to decide his brother's future, so he will let him choose for himself later.

Whether he enters the Tao through martial arts or directly cultivates immortality, it is his own choice. In this way, he will not blame himself in the future.

After the recording was completed, he read out the second person's name: "Cheng Zongyun."

"Here." The little girl responded in a baby voice, and then walked to the wooden table that was almost as high as her. Then she turned around and looked at her big brother.

Cheng Zongyang on the side couldn't help but laugh, then picked her up and stood her on the chair.

After a series of tests, it turned out to be five-color spiritual paper, but the spiritual stone had no reaction. This meant that he had no spiritual roots, but his martial arts aptitude was full.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care whether he had spiritual roots or not. Compared to spiritual roots, he was more inclined to enter the Tao through martial arts. In this way, even if he had no spiritual power, he would still have extremely high martial arts combat experience.

Then it was his second uncle Cheng Guangshan's turn to be tested.

As the tests were done one by one, Cheng Zongyang gradually discovered that their spiritual bones had excellent attributes, either four or five attributes. Except for those who had just joined the Earthly Branch lineage.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think of the foundation-building medicinal bath!
That is a good thing to improve qualifications. He did not expect that the medicinal baths over the past year would have such a good effect. None of them were lower than the fourth attribute.

"It seems that I underestimated the value of the foundation-building medicinal bath formula. Even the Ringwraith underestimated it." Cheng Zongyang murmured in his heart. If he had obtained the Ringwraith and the foundation-building medicinal bath formula a few years earlier, his own attributes would have been higher.

But everyone's spiritual root qualifications are not high. Cheng Zongyan has five spiritual bones and the "full score" attributes of five spiritual roots. I don't know how to describe it.

According to the information obtained from the world of immortal cultivation, the probability of a person having spiritual roots is quite high, and the number of spiritual roots decreases from many to few, until there are no spiritual roots.

According to ancient times, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy at that time, and the five spiritual roots were related to the human body. The human body carries the two energies of yin and yang, and the five elements are balanced, corresponding to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the human body.

Therefore, having more spiritual roots and spiritual bones is common, and the fewer the better.

Although times have changed, spiritual energy has been depleted, and people's physiques have changed with each generation, the results of tests have shown that there are still many people with multiple spiritual roots.

Cheng Zongyang even thought that in a few hundred or thousand years, the number of people with spiritual roots would become fewer and fewer, until it became like the novels he had read in his previous life, where people without spiritual roots would become the norm, and those with spiritual roots would be one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.

The evolution of human physique will also change from generation to generation as the environment changes, which is consistent with genetic inheritance. Therefore, the possibility he speculated exists.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly, shaking off his messy thoughts. Then came the personnel test for the Earthly Branches.

The people of the Earthly Branches in the first row were the first to take the medicinal bath, so after the test, their spiritual bone qualifications were pretty good, basically above level three spiritual bones. However, most of them had spiritual root qualifications, but a few had none. Most of them were between level three, level four and level five, and a few were level one or level two.

This also verified some of his previous guesses.

But the final result is that those without spiritual roots all have spiritual bones, even the lowest is one spiritual bone. This spiritual bone is the one that Cheng Zongwen recently selected from the city to join. This qualification can be further cultivated later.

After spending half an hour recording everything, Zhou Zhenyuan handed the booklet to Cheng Zongyang to read.

After Cheng Zongyang looked at them one by one, he said, "The test just now is to test your spiritual roots and spiritual bones. Spiritual roots are for cultivating immortals, and spiritual bones are for practicing martial arts. The starting points of these two are different, but in the end they both lead to the same destination, to embark on the path of transcendence and become immortal cultivators. Yes, they are the immortals in the stories you have heard of."

The elders at the back had already been listening to some simple narration from Zongyang while the children were lining up, and they were still moved when they heard it now.

Immortal cultivators and immortals, that’s just like a dream!
Cheng Zongyang continued, "So, I will give you suggestions based on your qualifications, but you can also make your own choices. Just go to the left when your name is called..."

Cheng Zongyang began to select those who had spiritual bones but no spiritual roots. These people could only follow the path of martial arts in the future, there was no other way.

After that are those with spiritual roots and spiritual bones, who are distinguished according to the quantity.

After a while, more than seventy people were divided into more than a dozen small teams according to the attributes of their spiritual roots and spiritual bones, the number of spiritual roots, and the number of spiritual bones.

There was only one person who was alone, and that was Cheng Zongyan, who had full qualifications. This made Cheng Zongyang helpless.

Next, Cheng Zongyang said to the first group of eight people who came out:
"You all have spiritual bones but no spiritual roots. Your only way is to enter the Tao through martial arts and embark on the path of cultivation. So, starting today, in addition to the medicinal bath, you will begin to practice martial arts. Not only must you practice the skills, but you must also practice the fighting methods. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Eight people answered at the same time, with a cute baby voice among them.

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the little girl and had no intention of giving her special treatment. There was only one way to practice martial arts, and there was no way to get away with it. Otherwise, she would be the one who would suffer in the future. But there was still some auxiliary help.

Afterwards, Cheng Zongyang continued to inform the rest of the teams of the situation, and then explained to them the pros and cons and options, and then they could choose whether to continue to practice martial arts or to directly cultivate immortality.

Then Cheng Zongyang would record their choices and carry out targeted training later.

After recording everything one by one, another hour passed.

After all, this matter needs to be explained clearly to them so that they can clearly choose the direction they want.

After all the records were completed, Cheng Zongyang asked them to disperse and leave the conference hall.

When only a few elders and Cheng Zongyang were left in the villa, Cheng Zongyang handed them a few booklets and began to tell them about the world of immortal cultivation and Yufeng Immortal City.

After they digested what he said about the world of immortal cultivation, Cheng Yang told them his new decision. "Those who want to cultivate through martial arts can continue to practice in the village, but for those who choose to cultivate immortality, I will take them to the county town. There is spiritual energy there, which will provide them with the most basic conditions for cultivation."

Everyone had expected this decision and had no objections, but Cheng Guanghai frowned and asked, "You are not a cultivator yet, so how can they learn how to get started? If they don't understand, how can you explain it to them? Besides, the techniques they choose will definitely be different, and you can't know them all."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "I have already considered this point, so the techniques I bought are all translated into popular language. After all, the low-level practitioners over there don't have anyone to guide them, so there are popular translated techniques so that ordinary people can also practice on their own and get started."

Now, everyone felt relieved.

Cheng Zongyang then continued, "Everyone, if you also want to try cultivating immortals, you can also take a test. Martial arts is one way, but if you can cultivate immortals, you can also do it in advance. After all, your age is not comparable to the younger generation."

"Then let's give it a try." Cheng Guanghai said with a smile. He was also afraid that others would be embarrassed to speak up.

"Okay. It's not bad to give it a try. If I can become an immortal cultivator, it means I can also try to make pills." Cheng Guangshan also laughed.

Seeing this, Zhou Hansong and Zhou Hanchang did not refuse.

After Cheng Zongyang took out the spirit stone and test paper, he began to test them one by one.

After a cup of tea, the qualifications of several elders were revealed.

The result was not beyond Cheng Zongyang's expectations. Because there was no medicinal bath, the spiritual bone qualifications of the few of them were basically one or two. As for spiritual roots, except for his second uncle Cheng Guangshan who had five spiritual roots, the rest of them had none. The probability of having no spiritual roots was actually a bit high.

Cheng Guangshan also knew what the qualifications of the Five Spiritual Roots were. Similarly, he also knew that his little daughter also had the Five Spiritual Roots. It was as if it was inherited.

Cheng Zongyang said, "Second Uncle, do you want to try?"

Cheng Guangshan shook his head slightly: "No, if you are below the third spiritual root, you can still give it a try. After all, it is quick to get started and it won't waste too many resources. With my current qualifications and my age, it would be a waste of resources to practice. It's better to leave it to those guys."

"Don't worry about resources. I can still get the resources for cultivation." Cheng Zongyang said after hearing this.

"That's not necessary." Cheng Guangshan waved his hand.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang didn't say much. The elders have their own considerations, and since they have made this decision, they should respect it.

Next, Cheng Zongyang continued to arrange some things, and then everyone dispersed and arranged for these people to leave the village.

Cheng Zongyang and Cheng Guanghai walked towards their own villa and continued chatting on the way.

"Zong Yang, do you really want to take Zong Liang out?"

Cheng Zongyang followed his father and nodded slightly: "He has the aptitude of three spiritual roots. He chose to cultivate immortality. We should follow his wishes. After all, he is grown up and has his own development choices."

After a moment of silence, Cheng Guanghai also sighed: "Yes, any choice is for the Cheng family. Just make the arrangements."

"Father, you have to keep an eye on my little sister's cultivation. She doesn't have spiritual roots, but she has five spiritual bones and top-level martial arts qualifications. She will continue with the medicinal bath, but she can also start to learn martial arts.

With her aptitude, plus the help of martial arts elixirs, she can basically enter the upper third level before the age of fifteen. Taking into account the time spent practicing martial arts, it is not a problem for her to enter the innate realm at the age of twenty. In this way, her practice speed after entering the Dao through martial arts will not fall behind much. "

Cheng Guanghai nodded: "I'll keep an eye on it."

After arriving home, Cheng Zongyang met Cheng Zhou and chatted with his mother for some time. Finally, Cheng Zongyang had something else to do, so he asked Cheng Zongliang to call Zhou Zhennan and Zhou Zhenqi together.

Zhou Zhennan and Zhou Zhenqi have similar spiritual bone qualifications as Cheng Zongliang, but in terms of spiritual roots, Zhou Zhennan has four spiritual roots while Zhou Zhenqi has no spiritual roots.

This means that the cultivation speeds of the three of them will be different.

But the three of them will be responsible for the entire Immortal City and even some intelligence work in the outside world in the future, so although their qualifications will have an impact, it will not be big.

When the three of them stood in front of Cheng Zongyang in the pavilion in the backyard, they were all a little nervous.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Relax a little. I asked Zongliang to find you two to learn about the study of the books that were left behind."

"Brother, we have all finished learning." Cheng Zongliang immediately expressed his opinion.

The other two nodded repeatedly.

Cheng Zongyang was surprised: "So fast? Are you sure you remember everything? If I check and find a lot of mistakes, I won't be able to talk to you easily."

Zhou Zhennan said, "Every day we ask the teacher for advice on some words we don't understand, and once we recognize them, we memorize the content."

Now, Cheng Zongyang started to conduct random checks, but he was speechless when he heard that the three of them could recite some content.

Although the books didn't have many words, he thought the three of them would remember some of the contents. Unexpectedly, they memorized all of them.

If it were in my previous life, it would have been a shame not to study political science and law.

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded: "It's good to memorize it. It's basically all kinds of rules and regulations."

Then, he said, "This time, I will take you to the city. In addition to taking you there to practice, I will also let you get in touch with the dark web. Zhenqi. Although you don't have spiritual roots, your martial arts aptitude is still good. While continuing to take the medicinal bath, you must work harder and practice martial arts diligently, so that you can embark on the path of innate cultivation as soon as possible and enter the Tao through martial arts. Then you can also embark on the path of cultivating immortals."

"Yes, big brother." Zhou Zhenqi bowed to Cheng Zongyang solemnly.

"As for the skills, I will give them to you after we arrive at the Immortal City. Go back and pack your clothes. You don't need too much. There are plenty in the Immortal City."

"Yes."

The three of them left one after another.

Cheng Zongyang was thinking about the following things in the pavilion.

The Daliang army, the thirteen royal families, and other forces from various places were basically surrounding the original location of Yufeng County.

The events of Yu Wenlin and the other two, plus the news that Yufeng County was shrouded in a formation and some people had left, had already predicted the current situation.

He wasn't worried about anyone causing trouble or anyone getting in.

A lot of things happened this time, but generally speaking, all of them are to make the Fairy City more worthy of its name.

It is necessary and inevitable to let some people in in the future. This will greatly increase the authenticity of the existence of the Fairy City, but the number of people entering must also be limited, thereby increasing the difficulty and preciousness of entering the Fairy City.

The existence of the Immortal City is to ensure its transcendent status in the future and to concentrate the resources of the entire martial arts world, thereby giving back to the wilderness world.

While waiting for the young men, Cheng Zongyang took out the booklet of rules and regulations of the Tianduan Gang.

This time, he wants to make targeted modifications to some systems.

Ordinary people moved to the twelve new villages around Xiancheng, which Li Xuejin had been following. As the new villages were completed one by one, people were gradually moving in. He didn't need to think too much about this.

What needs to be changed now is that the ownership of all houses in the entire Xiancheng will be taken back, and those that need to be expanded will be expanded, and those that need to be renovated will be renovated. The purpose is to accommodate more people in the future.
