Chapter 818: Origin of the Selection

The entire Linshan County City was extremely lively. This kind of liveliness was not just a New Year's Day, where people just called friends to eat and drink, but a kind of almost crazy joy.

For any county city, it is a key point of the entire Xuanwu Empire. All factions and families that pay attention to the empire and are related to the empire are mostly concentrated in important places such as county cities.

Although these big families and various factions usually have frictions of one kind or another, and even hurt each other in open and secret struggles. But they will put aside their prejudices on this day and celebrate together on this day.

The selection of medicine is a festival. No matter in every village, town, mountain city or town city, when the day of the selection of medicine comes, it is also the most important festival here.

Such a trend has been maintained under the rule of the Xuanwu Empire for thousands of years. At the same time, it is also closely related to the history of the Xuanwu Empire. The Xuanwu Empire was very weak at the beginning, and was even suppressed and divided by the surrounding Ye Lin, Prairie and Fengtian Dynasty.

This situation did not improve until the first generation of the Xuanwu Empire and his several partners became strong.

The first generation of the Xuanwu Empire had outstanding talents and strategies, especially in civil and military affairs. However, he alone could not accomplish such a feat. He also united the several major families of the Xuanwu Empire at that time.

At that time, the Xuanwu Empire did not have a real empire. Instead, it maintained the order of the entire empire with families and sects like Guhuang. However, the families and sects of the Xuanwu Empire were relatively weak, and at that time, it was impossible to really keep Xuanwu from being harassed by the outside world.

The first generation of the lord selected families with strong power and strength in the empire at that time, and united the outstanding children of these families into a powerful army. This was also the initial prototype of the army of the entire Xuanwu Empire, and the current many city guards also slowly transitioned from that time.

The first generation of the lord had a very pleasing name, Xuan Yicao. It is said that this name was a name he changed for himself when he later ventured into the continent. Perhaps most people would choose a resounding name for themselves, but he chose such a name that would make people want to laugh when they first heard it.

Although the name is a bit funny, his strength should not be underestimated. In the Xuanwu territory at that time, he could be regarded as one of the best masters, and he also had great ambitions and vision.

After integrating the power of all the big and small families in the Xuanwu territory, he first pointed the spearhead at the Fengtian Dynasty. In fact, the largest industry of the Fengtian Dynasty is trade. Because it is located in an important position in the entire continent, many goods must be traded through the Fengtian Dynasty, which makes the economic situation of Fengtian the most favorable.

Originally, the various families at that time proposed to start with Ye Lin and Caoyuan, but Xuan Yicao overcame all objections and directly pointed the spearhead at the Fengtian Dynasty. Later facts also proved that his vision is indeed longer-term and more thorough than ordinary people.

Because the Fengtian Dynasty has always controlled the economic flow of the entire continent, it has also been constantly squeezing other empires in the process. This made many empires dissatisfied with it, but they were unwilling to stand up and break with it because of its strength.

The Xuanwu Empire took the lead in attacking the Fengtian Dynasty. This action not only did not anger the other empires, but also received support from the other empires. The weapons made by the prairie were very good and played a very important role in the war, which also made Xuanwu occupy a great advantage in the early stage of the war.

In fact, the Fengtian Dynasty was too powerful at the time, and it was too domineering and did not take other empires seriously. This led to the situation where the three empires joined forces to deal with it at the beginning of the war.

Soon the Fengtian Dynasty was defeated continuously, and this defeat also slowly returned the land in Xuanwu that was occupied at the beginning. And all this did not end. After dealing with the Fengtian Dynasty, the Xuanwu Empire secretly reached an agreement with the prairie, and then turned around and launched an attack on the Ye Lin Empire.

In the following years, there were years of war between Xuanwu and Ye Lin. In the end, the battle between the two sides also alarmed the Guhuang Empire, which had ignored the disputes on the continent for a long time.

The most mysterious and powerful Guhuang on the entire continent sent several sect leaders to talk with Xuanwu and Ye Lin for a long time, and finally resolved the dispute between Xuanwu and Ye Lin. However, in order to prevent the two empires from fighting again, the middle position between the two sides was designated as the territory of Guhuang.

In other words, if one side wants to launch an offensive against the other side, it needs to cross directly from the land of Guhuang Empire, which completely stops the fight between the two sides.

This place is the chaotic land that Zuo Feng passed when he came to Xuanwu from Ye Lin. It originally belonged to Guhuang. However, Guhuang Empire was not the kind of empire that constantly eroded the outside world, so although that place belonged to Guhuang in name, they had never really managed it, which eventually caused the chaos there.

However, Xuanwu Empire had also gained a firm foothold on the continent at that time, and the reconciliation with the Prairie was finally maintained to this day. In fact, the Prairie has never really fought with Xuanwu Empire so far.

If he could do all these, Xuan Yicao would be worthy of his reputation for great talent and strategy. What he did later was enough to make the whole empire famous to this day.

That is, after he completely established the Xuanwu Empire, he began to vigorously develop the medicine refining industry. The Great Prairie is famous for its weapon refining skills, Ye Lin is famous for producing various rare minerals and precious medicinal herbs, and the Fengtian Dynasty is strong for developing trade.

Only the Xuanwu Empire does not have a truly powerful industry, which is the main reason why it was bullied at the beginning.

Xuan Yicao saw this, and finally he decided to develop the medicine refining industry throughout the empire. After several years or even more than ten years of development, the medicine refining of the Xuanwu Empire finally gained a foothold on the mainland.

In fact, the real top of the medicine refining is actually the mysterious Ancient Wilderness Empire. It’s just that the Ancient Wilderness Empire is very low-key and has never really expanded outward. Finally, Xuan Yicao saw the way of medicine refining. I don’t know what means he found a master in the Ancient Wilderness Empire and let it develop and grow in the Xuanwu Empire.

What happened afterwards was quite special. I don’t know why the medicine refining of the entire Xuanwu Empire became stronger and stronger, while the family from the Ancient Wilderness Empire at that time gradually declined. However, for the people of the Xuanwu Empire, they can't remember the family that brought them alchemy, but they will remember the Xuanyi grass that made them strong.

Later, Xuanyi grass formulated a competition to select alchemy geniuses. This competition can allow those teenagers with alchemy talent at the bottom to be discovered by the empire. All this was very fair at the beginning, and it had not become a toy in the hands of various families.

It's just that because of the establishment of the empire, it was actually the several super families who made all-out efforts, and it was not something that Xuanyi grass could accomplish alone. In the end, Xuanyi grass also knew that his power could not be preserved for a long time, and he finally chose to give his position to his son who was still very young at the time, and let his son and those super families manage the entire empire.

In fact, at that time, the power of the Xuanwu Empire was completely controlled by those super families. However, the selection of medicine sons, the only Xuanwu event that Xuanyi grass decided at that time, has been preserved to this day. Although today, the selection of medicine sons is no longer as fair and just as it was at the beginning, it still has an extremely important position in people's hearts.

The selection of medicine sons is not only an opportunity for some people to obtain higher rights and resources, but also a way to commemorate Xuanyi grass.

At the same time, this kind of commemorative activities originally belonged to those big families and big sects. This tradition seemed to represent a symbol of status at the beginning. The bigger the family, the more it values ​​this tradition. Today, those originally inconspicuous small families also attach great importance to it.

Today, when the medicine selection is held every four years, the whole empire will gradually boil up, starting with the smallest place, the village. Next, the town, the town city. Later, the city, the county city.

It seems that countless streams are constantly converging and finally forming a surging river. At present, Linshan County City is the legendary river.

People's enthusiasm was completely ignited. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, the destruction caused by the invasion of monsters, and all the unpleasantness they did not want to recall.

Zuo Feng left the square of the medicine selection under the urging of a group of people. The carnival here in Linshan County City is probably far greater than that of other county cities, because here they all witnessed a miracle today, a miracle that has not appeared in the medicine selection arena for so many years.

During the competition for selecting medicine, a young man temporarily changed the prescription and caused the thunder to pour into the medicine furnace, refining the gust of wind liquid that had never appeared before.

If you just heard about the gust of wind liquid, you may not know it so clearly. But everyone saw with their own eyes that a young man in the second level of the tendon hardening stage was flying in the sky like a feather, which made countless warriors envious and excited that they could witness this historic moment.

At this moment, Zuo Feng was silent in the crowd, as if he had nothing to do with the excitement so close to him, as if he was alone here now. This feeling made him feel very contradictory. He could clearly feel everything around him, but he seemed to be withdrawn from it.

However, Zuo Feng was not surprised in his heart. He was not unfamiliar with the appearance of this feeling. It meant that his mental power, that is, his telekinesis, had been improved again.
