celestial body

There is a palace-like room at the back of the house. The room is wide, and a formation is drawn in the middle. A dozen or so children were called to stand aside. The middle-aged man who came to call them just now took a Booklet, began to roll the name of each child, and saw that everyone was there, and then sent a servant to the next room to invite five elders.

These five people were of different ages, four men and one woman. They were all men with sharp eyes and calm faces, and they seemed to be of some cultivation.

There are five corners in the formation, and each of the five people sat down cross-legged in one corner, and placed spirit stones in the formation.

Liu Yin whispered in Jun Chi's ear, "It takes the power of the five elements to open the magic circle for testing spiritual roots."

Jun Chi nodded his face and said, "Brother, you really know a lot."

Liu Yin curled his lips slightly, and it was obvious that he enjoyed Jun Chi's admiration.

The formation was soon opened, and the steward holding the booklet began to ask people to come in and stand in the middle of the formation. The first one was a girl from the Zong family, named Liu Ziqian, about seven or eight years old, and she looked very proud and slow at a young age. Slowly approached the middle of the formation.

Jun Chi stared carefully, and saw a flash of light flowing on the formation for a moment, and then a green and blue light appeared on one side of the wall, the blue was brighter, and the green was slightly dimmer. The steward said, "Water and wood dual spirit roots, water spirit roots are the main ones. Go up."

Jun Chi knew that in this world, single spiritual roots were the best, followed by double spiritual roots, and five spiritual roots were the worst. Basically, five spiritual roots can only be regarded as the door to step into the world of cultivating immortals, and it is difficult to achieve success.

Liu Ziqian is a double spiritual root, she seems to have known about this for a long time, so she smiled and walked out from the array.

Immediately afterwards there was another boy from the clan, who had the Three Spirit Roots, but because one of them was very bright and the other two were dim, he was also of upper-middle aptitude; there was another boy from the clan named Liu Feng, Liu Yin said that he was the patriarch's concubine, and his spiritual roots were tested to be golden and wood dual spiritual roots, and gold and wood mutually restrain each other, so it shouldn't be good, but his golden color is very bright, and his green color is very light, so he is still a good talent; A child of the Zong family also has dual spiritual roots and is also superior. From this, Liu Yin said that the Zong family's blood is pure, and it really can give birth to good offspring of cultivators.

After the four clan disciples finished the test, they started to test these side branches. The first one called Liu Yin to go up. Liu Yin looked calm and stood in the formation. There is a light yellow line next to it, and the manager said, "Fire and earth dual spiritual roots, fire is the main one, go up."

Liu Yin smiled, it seemed that he also knew his qualifications.

Two more people were called, one of them had no spiritual roots, the other had four spiritual roots, and his aptitude was poor, and then Liu Junyan was called.

Jun Yan stood next to Jun Chi, looking bored and thinking about his own business, Jun Chi pushed him back, "Jun Yan, hurry up and stand there."

Jun Yan glanced at him before walking over, standing in the middle of the array, and as the array activated, a fiery red color appeared on the wall, the color was so pure and gorgeous that it almost seemed like a fire was burning.

This scene surprised everyone in the room. Only the person involved, Liu Junyan, looked at Junchi in a daze, and asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Jun Chi knew that he was a single spiritual root of the fire attribute, and was very happy in his heart.

The steward also laughed, and said, "Single spirit root of the fire attribute, the Liu family has not produced a single spirit root for hundreds of years. Go up."

Jun Yan didn't care about anything else, he just walked out of the array and walked to Jun Chi's side.

The five elder monks who launched the formation were also very happy and smiled, while the other children looked at Jun Yan with admiration, awe, or jealousy, but Jun Yan completely ignored them and ignored them at all.

The steward called Jun Chi again, and Jun Chi wanted to go into the formation, but Jun Yan pulled him away, Jun Chi said a few words to him, and then he let go, Jun Chi thought that he was also the son of Suzaku, It was assumed that he couldn't run away with a single fire-attribute spiritual root, but he didn't expect that the formation was activated, but there was no movement on the wall, so the manager said, "No spiritual root."

Jun Chi was surprised for a while, and said in surprise, "How come?"

The steward said, "Go down."

Jun Chi hesitated and didn't move, "Can you try again?"

The steward said, "There is nothing to try, there is no spiritual root."

Just as Jun Chi was about to go down, some changes appeared on the wall, and suddenly colors appeared faintly, Jun Chi said, "Look, there are colors."

The steward had to look again, and found that there were indeed colors, but the colors were mixed together and became a mess. He distinguished for a while, and said, "This is the five spirit roots, basically useless. Go down, go down." Bar."

Jun Chi couldn't continue to stay there, so he had to come down. As soon as he got down, Jun Yan grabbed him and said, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

Jun Chi shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Liu Yin came over and said, "I didn't expect your younger brother to have such outstanding aptitude. Although you have five spiritual roots, you can still practice. Don't be discouraged."

Jun Chi thanked him and stopped talking. He was a little bit shocked. He didn't believe it when his father said that he was judged to be congenitally deficient by his mother when he was in the egg, but now he finally believed it.

Although he was hit, Jun Chi didn't feel too bad, thinking that he wasn't completely unable to cultivate anyway, and besides, Jun Yan was a single spiritual root, an extremely talented cultivator, he should be happy for Jun Yan.

After everyone finished the test, the elders who were in charge and activated the formation called the children to stand together. Those without spiritual roots would be sent home, and those with spiritual roots would arrange future practice according to their aptitude.

An elder came directly to Junyan and said, "Liu Junyan, you are a single spiritual root, follow me to practice in the future, and you will definitely be able to enter the Yutaimen entrance test three years later with your single spiritual root. Immortal journey is limitless."

Jun Yan just glanced at him, then walked behind Jun Chi, without answering him.

The elder felt a little embarrassed, so Jun Chi had no choice but to explain, "My brother is very shy."

The elder said, "Follow me from now on, and you will get better slowly."

But Jun Yan said, "I'm not with you, I want my brother."

Jun Chi had no choice but to pat Jun Yan's hand, "Jun Yan, don't talk nonsense."

Jun Yan was a little angry, and said loudly, "I want a brother."

Everyone was attracted by his loud voice and looked over, Jun Yan also ignored everyone, just stared at a pair of big eyes and stopped talking, looking a little angry.

The aptitudes of Shuanglinggen were directly brought by the elders to practice in the East Courtyard, and those with Three Linggens went to the North Courtyard to practice. The child with Four Linggens was sent back directly because he was still young. Come again next year.

Now only Junchi was left, and the steward came to ask him, "You are a five spirit root, basically useless, would you like to stay and be a handyman, or go home?"

Before Jun Chi could answer, Jun Yan had already said, "My brother is useful, I want my brother."

Jun Chi looked at the steward and said, "Can I stay and take care of my brother? You've also seen that he can't do without me."

As he said that, he smiled at the elders, and the elder who wanted to accept Jun Yan said, "So, let's stay here as a handyman to take care of your younger brother."

Jun Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked the elders again.

After the spiritual root test is over, Jun Chi and Jun Yan can go to say goodbye to Liu Guihai again, and then they will be arranged to live in a special house.

Taking Jun Yan back to the courtyard where Liu Guihai lived, Liu Guihai was waiting for them, and when he saw the two of them, he happily asked, "How is it?"

Jun Chi then said, "Jun Yan is a single spirit root with a fire attribute, and has been taken by that elder named Liu Weizhen."

Liu Guihai said happily, "Liu Wei is really a cultivator who has completed the foundation establishment, and he has some abilities in the clan. It will be good for Jun Yan to be by his side."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jun Chi expectantly, "My son, what about you?"

Jun Chi said uncomfortably, "Daddy, I am the root of five spirits."

Liu Guihai was stunned for a moment, just like Jun Chi couldn't believe it at first, he couldn't believe it either, "Five spirit roots?"

Jun Chi nodded, "Yes. I asked the steward to let me be a handyman by Jun Yan's side. Jun Yan can't do without me, so I can just be by his side and take care of him."

Liu Guihai managed to calm down, "How can you be a five spirit root, shouldn't you also be a single fire spirit root?"

Jun Chi smiled and said, "Daddy, it's fine. Anyway, five spirit roots can also be cultivated."

Liu Guihai sighed for a while, and had no choice but to comfort his eldest son.

Because Liu Junchi was going to live in another courtyard with his younger brother the next day, Liu Guihai told the elder son what he was about to say at night, because the younger son was too ignorant, even if he had outstanding spiritual roots, he would not Can't explain things to him.

Liu Guihai put a ring on a chain on Jun Chi's neck, and explained earnestly, "This is your mother's relic. There are restrictions on it. I can't open it. I don't know what's inside. You and If Jun Yan can open it in the future, he will inherit the contents inside, but this is very valuable, so don’t let others see it, lest it will make people look for money, which is not good for you.”

Junchi nodded yes.

Liu Guihai took out another storage bag that ordinary people can use, and gave it to Jun Chi, "This is the fire bath your mother left for you. She said that you can heal your wounds in it. I don't know if it's true. If it is useful, I will bring it with you.”

Junchi also took it.

Then Liu Guihai gave him another storage bag and said, "Here are some spirit stones and gold and silver used by mortals. You are in the Zong family and you have brought your brother with you. It will be useful, so take it well."

After saying this, he said that if he could see his uncle Liu Huihai in the future, he would be better off if he had to listen to Liu Huihai and someone would take care of him.

Jun Chi was so moved that he could hardly sleep that night.

Early the next morning, Liu Guihai sent the two brothers out of the courtyard. Jun Yan felt heartless and sad, but Jun Chi waved goodbye to his father with tears in his eyes.

Jun Chi just took a few sets of clothes and a box of books, and then took his younger brother to live in the new yard.

This is the courtyard on the east side of the Liu family. The Liu family occupies a very large area, almost occupying half the area of ​​the city, and there is a mountain range behind it. The courtyards on the east are already at the foot of the mountain, and there is a distance between each courtyard, because Jun Yan wanted to practice with Elder Wei Zhen, and they lived not far from Elder Wei Zhen's courtyard. After moving in, he found out that Liu Yin also lived in the No. [-] courtyard where they were. Live in Westinghouse.

After everything was settled, Liu Zhenming, the servant assigned to Liu Yin, came to ask Jun Chi to go with him to collect supplies and eat for the master.

It took Jun Chi a lot of effort to tell Jun Yan not to follow him and let him stay in the house, and then he went out with Liu Zhenming.

Liu Zhenming is already a 16-year-old boy, much older than Junchi. He saw that although Junchi is very dark, he has a beautiful appearance and a soft expression. Desire, asked, "Are you here to serve your brother as a servant?"

Jun Chi said, "Yes, I brought up my brother since he was a child, and he can't do without me."

Liu Zhenming said, "It's good for you to be like this, your brother will never treat you badly. My previous master was too arrogant. He often shouted at me and beat and scolded me frequently."

Jun Chi smiled and said, "I think brother Liu Yin has a good temper, and I think he will get better in the future."

Liu Zhenming said, "I hope so."

Jun Chi asked again, "Then why didn't you continue to follow your former master, where did he go?"

Liu Zhenming looked around to confirm that there was no talent and said, "He is very qualified, a rare genius in the Liu family for decades, and he has only reached the ninth level of Qi refining. He just went to a small secret realm and something happened. , died inside and did not come out. I was sent to serve Liu Yin."

Jun Chi was a little surprised, "Small secret realm?"

He knew what a secret realm was from the book Liu Guihai gave him, which is roughly equivalent to another dimension.

Liu Zhenming nodded, "Exactly, but I don't know the specifics."

It's not good for Jun Chi to ask any more questions, but because of his young age, he sweetly asked Liu Zhenming to remind him more in the future, so as not to make mistakes when he first arrived.

He is only nine years old. Fortunately, he has great strength. He first took a pair of cards to get some supplies, and then went to the cafeteria to get food. And language.

Not only the master can eat these, but their servants can also eat them. Only now does Jun Chi know why a child like Liu Zhenming is willing to stay in the clan's house as a servant without complaint, beating or scolding. Being a servant here, some of the resources he has obtained , but also more than outside.

Jun Chi was very good at taking care of people, took all the things back and put them away, and took out food from the food box to eat with Jun Yan.

Because the food is made of spiritual food, it is naturally full of spiritual energy, but because it is a big pot of rice, the taste is not good, Jun Yan is picky and unwilling to eat, so Jun Chi had to scold him a few words, "We are not at home now, you have to grow up Dim Xinyan, eat all of these quickly."

Although Jun Yan was not very happy, he did as he said.

After Jun Yan finished eating and went to take a nap, Jun Chi cleared the table again, used the food box to carry the empty bowls and plates, went to Liu Zhenming and went back to the kitchen yard together, when Liu Yin saw Jun Chi, he ordered Liu Zhenming Said, "Jun Chi is still young, you have to take care of him."

Liu Zhenming answered with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

Jun Chi is a very likable child, and Liu Zhenming has a good temper. The two quickly made friends, talking and laughing as they walked towards the kitchen yard, but bumped into the other two on the way.

One of them is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and the other is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl. The two of them looked a little domineering, and the girl said to Liu Zhenming, "Hey, what a bad luck to meet you again!" Broom Star. You killed Young Master Liu Wei before, but now there is still someone who dares to let you serve him."

Liu Zhenming blushed and said, "What does the death of Master Liu Wei have to do with me? Why are you spitting blood here?"

The other party let out a cry, and said angrily, "You were the one who killed him, and you still want to quibble. Master Liu Wei is a genius who is once in a century, and he just disappeared. It's all the fault of you, a bastard."

As he said that, he directly took out a long whip very bluntly. There was faint purple awn on the long whip. It should be a magic weapon of fire attribute.

She followed Liu Zhenming and drew her over. Liu Zhenming had no choice but to turn around and run away, shouting, "Cheng Zi'e, don't bully people so much."

Cheng Zi'e said, "You bastard, you only know how to run away, why don't you let your aunt beat you to death with a few whips? Or go back and tell your new master, let him know that you beat Master Liu Wei to death before, and see if he will use you again .”

Jun Chi felt that this Cheng Zi'e was going too far, but he didn't want to have conflicts with others as soon as he came, and besides, he was still young and had no strength to protect himself, so he could only run away together like Liu Zhenming.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up with Liu Zhenming, Cheng Zi'e whipped the whip on the back of Jun Chi who was running behind. Jun Chi only heard the whistling sound of the whip, thinking that the pain was about to come, but he didn't expect that the whip had just touched it. He was bounced back in an instant. Not only did he not hurt him, but Cheng Zi'e was brought down to the ground by the reaction force. The young man who followed her went over to help her up in surprise and asked, "Miss Zi'e, what are you doing?" It's okay."

Cheng Zi'e got up from the ground and looked at Jun Chi in shock. Jun Chi was still not able to digest what had happened, so he ran to Liu Zhenming's side in a hurry.

Cheng Zi'e was about to walk over with a sullen face, when another boy came over, saw Cheng Zi'e and said, "Cousin Zi'e, why are you here?"

This young man was dressed in purple, he looked very luxurious, his temperament was also very noble Tsing Hua, his eyes were restrained, although he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Cheng Zi'e brushed the dust off her body generously, and said to the young man, "Hello, cousin. I'm just going out for a walk, and I'll be back right away."

After finishing speaking, she took the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy beside her and left.

The young man in purple walked up to Liu Zhenming and said, "Liu Wei's death has nothing to do with you. Next time she bullies you like this, you will report to the management office."

Liu Zhenming saluted and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao. The servant will remember."

Liu Xiao looked at Jun Chi again, "What's your name? Are you a newly elected servant?"

Junchi replied, "The slave's name is Liu Junchi, and he was newly elected."

Liu Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Are you the elder brother of Liu Junyan with a single fire root?"

Jun Chi didn't expect his younger brother to become famous so quickly, so he replied politely, "Master, yes."

Liu Xiao said, "How did you escape Zi'e's wisteria whip just now?"

Jun Chi was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked at Liu Xiao pretending to be ignorant, "Hiding? I just ran and avoided it."

Liu Xiao stared at Jun Chi for a while, and found that Jun Chi's eyes were dark, bright and innocent, and he was very young, so he waved him and Liu Zhenming to leave.

Returning things from the kitchen yard and returning to Courtyard No. [-], Liu Zhenming whispered to Jun Chi the whole story. That Cheng Zi'e was the niece of the mother's family of the Zong family's mistress. She practiced in the Liu family since she was a child, and she was the number one of the dead Liu Wei. The suitor, after Liu Wei died, she kept finding trouble with Liu Zhenming, venting her depression on him.And Liu Xiao is the eldest son of the patriarch. Although he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he has already completed Qi refining and is only waiting to build a foundation.He is the current first-class genius of the Liu family, but he is only a metal-earth dual spiritual root, which is still worse than the real genius Liu Junyan who has a single fire spiritual root.

Liu Zhenming's last sentence was naturally intended to please Junchi. I think Liu Junyan's single fire spirit root is really good, otherwise it would not be in just one day. It seems that everyone in the Liu family knows about it.
