From a family fisherman to a water immortal

Chapter 117 Ascension Conference

Everyone knows that the foundation of cultivators comes from mortals.

Cultivators live in places where spiritual energy is abundant, that is, on various spiritual veins and spiritual islands, breathing the essence of heaven and earth and practicing with concentration.

Those vast lands with thin spiritual energy and no spiritual veins are naturally occupied by mortal kingdoms.

Therefore, almost all the forces of immortal cultivation will hold an Ascension Conference in due time to select immortal seedlings and strengthen themselves.

The Li family has thousands of miles of sea areas under its command, and it controls countless mortal island countries. Every five years, an Ascension Conference will be held.

It can be said that it is a carnival for all the small families and forces under its command.

"Let's go to the Changqing Palace to ask."

Li Quanqing and the others came to the Changqing Palace where the family issued tasks. They thought they were the first to come.

Unexpectedly, there were already three or four elders waiting, all of whom belonged to Li Kunli's command and were considered acquaintances.

"Elder Quanqing is here to take the task, is he also going to host a Ascension Conference?"

An elder who looked very familiar spoke up with a mischievous smile. He should be a top-grade weapon refiner in the family.

"Yes, is it the same for you?"

Li Quanqing said somewhat embarrassedly. He didn't expect that there were so many smart people with active brains.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They were all guys with indifferent and cunning temperaments.

They were too familiar with the temperament of the third elder. When the other party was angry, it was like an active volcano that could erupt at any time.

So they didn't want to stay on the island and wanted to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

"According to the rules of previous years, each Ascension Conference is divided into nine parts. Elders, please choose one by yourself."

These nine parts are the central part with Qingyu Island as the core, plus the four parts of east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest.

The central part is closest to the main island and is where a large number of Li Jiafan blood clan members gather, so it has always been very popular.

But the elders present didn't even look at them, and directly chose those remote sea areas.

"I choose the eastern sea area."

Li Quanqing said, he always liked the direction of "east".

"My lord, the eastern sea area has always been dominated by those small Qi-refining families, there are many mortal islands, and it is very busy."

A deacon reminded carefully.

"No problem, it's just right to be busy, just what I want."

Li Quanqing said without caring.

Anyway, when the time comes, it will be the deacons under Li Quanmo who will really measure the spiritual roots of mortal children, and the two of them will just be witnesses.

After accepting the task, Li Quanqing got the things needed to measure the spiritual roots.

The top-grade flying magic tool Ascension Bridge, the lower-grade spiritual tool Spirit Measurement Platform.

Measuring spiritual roots is not a trivial matter.

Those small Qi-refining families can only afford the simple spirit measurement plate, which can measure whether the child has spiritual roots, and at most measure which attribute they are inclined to.

If you want to know the five elements distribution of the spiritual roots, whether they are top-grade, medium-grade or low-grade, you have to rely on the spiritual measurement platform.

This kind of expensive spiritual tool can only be afforded by the foundation-building family and those stronger Qi-refining families.

This is also the result of the deliberate control of the high-level cultivators of the Jindan Sect, so that some small families will not hide those high-quality immortal seedlings and use them for themselves.

After all, the Ascension Conference represents the family's face. The Qingyu Li family specially prepared a building ship for each elder.

The boat was full of colorful ribbons, drums were roaring, and the Qingyu Fish Dragon Flag was fluttering, making it as grand as the enthronement of a secular emperor.

"It's a pity that Quan Ge is not here, otherwise this scene would be enough for him to show off for a lifetime."

Li Quanmo looked at the family cultivators guarding the four directions, and couldn't help but smile on his cold face.

Two years have passed, and this silent guy has really changed a lot, becoming more talkative and smiling a lot more.

Even the speed of cultivation has increased a bit.

"Let's go."

Li Quanqing stood at the bow and gave the order, and immediately the family steward passed it on, with great majesty.

Woo!

A low horn sounded, the building ship trembled slightly, the formation spiritual light covered the deck, and slowly set sail.

In the back, a large ship of mortal merchant caravans also set sail from Qingyu Island and the seven branch islands. Most of them had the background of Li's immortal cultivators and followed them closely.

The Ascension Conference is not only a grand event in the immortal world, but also a grand event for mortals.

All mortal families who were tested to have immortal seedlings will be given a generous reward of gold and silver, and the various islands are rich in products and can exchange what they have.

As a result, many mortal merchant caravans flocked to it.

"The first island, the Liu family of Baishao Island."

Li Quanqing took out the sea map and looked at the first spiritual island 700 miles away from Qingyu Island, which is considered a relatively strong small family under the Li family.

The building ship was still dozens of miles away from Baishao Island when a spiritual boat came speeding towards them, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

"Liu Baixu, the head of the Liu family, greets the envoy of the upper family. I wonder which elder is here?"

From a distance, a voice came clearly, with an unusually respectful tone and cautiousness.

Li Quanqing looked down. This head of the Liu family was a strong man at the level of Qi Refining Great Perfection.

He was about fifty years old and had a slight possibility of impacting the foundation.

Beside him, there were three family elders, all of whom had the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Please ask them to come up."

Li Quanqing spoke, smiling and chatting with everyone in the Liu family.

Seeing such a young Li elder, Liu Baixu could not help but be surprised. Thinking of a young talent who had just risen in the Qingyu Li family, his attitude became more respectful.

When the ship arrived at Baishao Island, the head of the Liu family said respectfully: "There are 31 immortal seedlings under the Baishao Liu family this year. Elder Quanqing, please help and lower the Ascension Bridge."

Li Quanqing nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the magic power of the blue sea surged, all of which sank into the white jade Ascension Bridge.

This special magic weapon is five meters long and more than a meter wide. At this time, it suddenly shone brightly, shining brightly, and floated from the deck.

The three people boarded the Ascension Bridge, and the rosy clouds immediately enveloped their bodies and covered their faces, appearing unfathomable and majestic.

Li Quanqing drove this flying magic weapon, and the wind whistled in his ears. In the blink of an eye, it cut through the sky and hung over Baishao Island.

A dense crowd of people gathered, and in the spotlight, 31 children were guarded and stood in the center, looking quite nervous.

They were the immortal seedlings selected by the Liu family in advance with the spirit-testing plate, but the specific spiritual roots still needed to be measured.

"Chief Liu, there are no top-grade immortal seedlings hidden by the nobles in advance, right?"

Li Quanqing looked down at the tens of thousands of mortals below, and suddenly asked with a smile.

Even though the top-grade spiritual roots cannot be measured with the spirit-testing plate, as long as the practice method is practiced, a rough estimate can be made based on the progress of each person.

"Except for my Liu family members, the rest of the immortal seedlings have no traces of power left in their bodies. The elders can investigate it personally."

Liu Baixu said this openly and without any fear.

Li Quanqing nodded, waved his sleeves, and a palm-sized altar flew out of his sleeves, growing in the wind.

The altar was five-colored, with dense patterns all over it. It flew out from the Ascension Bridge, and then landed on the ground, turning into a small mountain.

"Immortal!"

"It's a magic weapon of the immortal family!"

With a clatter, a large number of mortals below knelt down, respecting it as if it were a god, with eyes full of longing and fear.

Li Quanqing's eyes were light, and he deliberately used his magic power. His majestic voice came out from the rosy clouds, shaking the world.

"All immortal seedlings, come on stage one after another to test your spiritual roots. No noise is allowed. Those who violate the order will be punished!"

These immortal seedlings are just children between the ages of seven and twelve. Although they are not very old, they are talented and have natural spiritual charm. They look really extraordinary.

Under the leadership of several immortal seedlings of the Liu family, they climbed onto the spiritual testing platform one by one, and suddenly there was a glow of various colors rising up, no more than two or three inches high.

"All of them are low-grade spiritual roots, alas!"

Liu Baixu sighed slightly, a little regretful.

Seeing this, Li Quanqing also shook his head, ordered the stewards to record the results of the spiritual roots of these immortal seedlings in the book, and then stepped on the jade bridge and left.

These mortal immortal seedlings who are not descendants of the Li family, only those who have reached the level of middle-grade spiritual roots are worthy of being taken back to Qingyu Island for cultivation.

"Farewell, Elder Quanqing."

Although Liu Baixu has a higher cultivation level, he clearly knows his position and bows respectfully.

"Is this the Ascension Conference?"

Li Quanqing looked at the mortals below, who were getting farther and farther away from him and more and more blurred, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If he hadn't been born in the Li family and had spiritual roots, he would probably be like these mortals now, looking up at the so-called immortals getting farther and farther away.

Woohoo!

The building ship roared, and slowly set sail again, heading for the next spiritual island.

This was repeated over and over again. After five days, even Li Quanqing felt a little tired.

Fortunately, he did not gain nothing. He got the cultivation seeds of five middle-grade spiritual roots and prepared to take them back to the family for cultivation.

"All immortal seedlings, come on stage one after another..."

Li Quanqing was suspended in the air on the immortal bridge, his voice rumbling, like an expressionless machine.

But this time, there was a new change.

As a little girl stepped onto the spirit-testing platform, the altar suddenly roared, and a touch of aqua-blue glow burst out among the various spiritual lights.

It was more than six inches high!

"This is... a top-grade water spiritual root!"

Beside him, Li Quanmo's face first showed a trace of surprise, and then quickly turned into a deep joy.

Based on the altar glow, less than 1 inch is inferior, 1~3 inches is inferior, 3~5 inches is medium, 5~7 inches is superior, and 7~9 inches is earth spiritual root.

"Quanqing, harvesting a top-grade spiritual root to return to the family is a great achievement!"

Li Quanmo spoke in a low voice, his expression unable to hide his excitement.

The entire Qingyu Li family only has three top-grade spiritual roots, which shows how precious they are.

Li Quanqing glanced at him, but he was not very excited. He reminded him: "Have you forgotten the rules of the sect? All high-grade spiritual roots that are not from the same clan must first be reported to the Shuihua Sword Sect!"

Li Quanmo frowned, and immediately looked at the young patriarch who was in charge of this island, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the name of this girl?"

This cultivator's surname is Fang, and he was born in a small family. However, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and at this time he was also in endless surprise.

He thought for a moment and replied respectfully: "This girl is the child of a pearl-diving family on a nearby island. Her name is Zhou Caiwei, and she is only seven years old."
