Food rights and wine beauty: turn a god to farm

Chapter 169 Lin Qing Tests Spiritual Roots

It takes ten taels of silver to test a child, which is enough for a year's expenses for an ordinary farmer in the countryside.

Back then, he would strive to work in cities and towns to earn money because he wanted to save enough taels so that he could go for a test before.

It was just that when he had saved enough money, he told his father that he was going to test the spirit root, but his adoptive mother begged him to give the opportunity to his eldest brother the day before his adoptive father took him to the test.

In order to repay their kindness in nurturing, Lin Qing agreed.

Later, his adoptive father felt guilty towards him because of this incident, and wanted to save money for him to be tested.

But the family is not rich after all, and the adoptive parents quarreled over this matter several times.

Later, his health became worse and worse, especially after he was beaten for no reason. He had to take medicine frequently and cost more money, so he persuaded his adoptive father not to save money for him.

Until the news of the cooking competition came out.

In fact, he went with the expectation that he would get a silver tael after winning the award.

Originally, he won 20 taels of silver for advancing to the competition in the town, and he didn't want to continue participating.

But the eldest brother said that he didn't want to give up this opportunity and must go to Huaiyang City, so the two of them came together, fearing that the money would not be enough to spend along the way, so he didn't dare to spend money on testing.

When he thought of the past, he thought of his elder brother's betrayal of him. In fact, he really wanted to ask his elder brother why, why he treated him like that, or if there was something else hidden in it.

"Ah Qing." Seeing him suddenly distracted, An Ning called softly.

Lin Qing regained consciousness, a little confused, "Master."

"Do you still remember the incident where you passed out in the City Lord's Mansion in Huainan City?"

Lin Qing blinked and continued to nod in confusion.

"At that time, I found that your body was abnormal, so I tested it for you." She took out a spar from her sleeve and put it on the table, "Hold the stone in your hand and have a look."

Seeing the spar, Lin Qing's pupils shrank.

He knew this stone, and when he accompanied his eldest brother to test it, he saw that man take out this stone for his elder brother to hold.

It is said that as long as the stone glows, it means that there is a spiritual root.

Although many years have passed, he still remembers it clearly.

He widened his eyes and looked at An Ning with a look of surprise, "Master, master, you, you mean..."

"Hold and see." An Ning smiled but said nothing, motioning for him to pick up the spar.

Lin Qing's pale face blushed instantly, staring at the spar in disbelief but couldn't hold back his excitement, struggling for a long time in his heart, then reached out tremblingly and carefully picked up the spar, swallowed, took a deep breath and then pressed hard hold.

An Ning saw the two-color light slowly appearing on the transparent colorless spar, which was more obvious than before.

They are green and brown respectively, that is, wood spirit root and earth spirit root.

Earth grows wood, wood is the master of life, and it is endless. Although it is a dual spiritual root, this combination is not bad, at least it is not incompatible.

Lin Qing stared at the spar in his hand completely stunned.

An Ning knew that he needed a process of relaxation, so she didn't bother, and drank tea slowly.

It took a long time for Lin Qing to come back to his senses, and the next moment he stood up abruptly.

The chair was pushed down due to too violent movement, making a bang sound.

Surprised by the voice, he completely woke up from the shock and surprise, and then looked at An Ning shyly and excitedly, "Master, this, this, this is..."

"Well, you have wood and soil dual spiritual roots." An Ning smiled and nodded earnestly.

Lin Qing was stunned again.

An Ning looked at him a little amusedly, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he realized that he was dreaming the next moment.

The other party has always been calm and calm, but I didn't expect to have such an unsteady side. This is the emotion that a teenager of this age would have.

"Ah Qing, this is the reason why I decided not to accept you as my apprentice." An Ning said again calmly.

Lin Qing suddenly woke up, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Ah Qing, you have a spiritual root, which means that unless you don't want to, your future home game will definitely not be in the mortal world, and in the mortal world, although my cooking skills are not bad, once I go to the ancient continent, everything will be in vain. Maybe, at that time, you will have more choices, and it would be better to ask for a master who can help you more."

Lin Qing froze for a moment, then the excitement on his face slowly faded, he subconsciously clenched the things in his hand, pursed his lips with the stubbornness and firmness of a teenager, "Master, I haven't read a book, but I also I know, a teacher for a day, a teacher for life, you are the master I recognize, no matter what the future is, I only know that you are the one who taught me cooking, that's all."

An Ning was slightly stunned, and then his expression eased, and his eyes softened a lot, "But what I can teach you is limited, and it may become an obstacle in your future cultivation path."

"No, the master leads the door. Practice is up to the individual. You have given me enough. As for cultivating immortality, I originally expected to cultivate immortality, but I just wanted to make my body better. Now under the care of the master, my body has been getting better day by day. Well, now you are no different from ordinary people, so it doesn't matter if you cultivate immortality or not."

He pursed his lips and spoke firmly, but An Ning could see a trace of regret in his eyes.

Yes, regret, there is no reluctance, no struggle, just regret, which means that he has made a decision and there is no turning around.

An Ning stared at him for a while, seeing him tightening his urgency, almost turning pale, she couldn't help but slowly reveal a gentle smile.

She breathed lightly and said seriously, "So you still want to worship me as a teacher? You have to know that when I accept apprentices, I have to form a master-apprentice contract, and this contract is even more harsh for cultivators. As a master and apprentice, you can no longer worship other people as teachers, can you think about it clearly?"

"I know exactly what I want, master, please accept me." Lin Qing pursed his lips, stepped back three steps and knelt towards her.

An Ning looked at the firmness in his eyes, and now she didn't even have any regrets.

"Okay, since you insist, the master-student contract ceremony will be held after we leave here and settle down smoothly. During this period, you still have a chance to go back on your word. As long as you have other plans, tell me at any time. Don't worry about me being unhappy. You have A better future is also my pride."

Lin Qing wanted to say that he would not go back on his word, but looked at the master's expression, thought about it and still didn't make a statement. Now no matter what words are pale, he will use actions to tell the master his persistence.

The conversation between the two ended there. It seemed that there was no result, but there was a result.

The next day, as expected, in the morning court, the emperor's imperial decree completely muddied the dark and turbulent water in the court hall.

At present, the monarch has eight princes in total, and except for the eight princes, the rest of the princes are all adults, even the nine princes have held a coming-of-age ceremony years ago.

In the order to seal the king, not only did the vassal king be required to return to the fief immediately, but there was also an edict not to leave the fief at will.

And according to the ancestral system, the new vassal kings were returned to the fief, and in order for them to build a new fief, there was a three-year non-call period.

That is, within three years, unless there is a major national event that requires compulsory attendance, they cannot return to the imperial capital.
