Chapter 427 Cultivating Golden Core Monks

Originally, Qinghe County, like Lingxi County, also held a spiritual root detection conference every five years.

As long as every child who is one year old, he must undergo a test, and subsequent tests are voluntary.

The reason why it is once every five years is that this is the rule set by Chen Taixu, the ancestor of the Chen family.

Generally speaking, only children who are one year old can pass the spiritual root detection array to detect spiritual roots.

If a test is performed once at the age of one, the result shows that they do not have spiritual roots, then no matter how many times or more than ten times the spiritual root detection array is used in the future, the result will basically be the same.

And if spiritual roots are detected at the age of one, they cannot practice for the time being. Only when they grow up to six years old and their roots, bones and meridians are fully developed, can they withstand the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering the body and enter the path of practice.

Therefore, it is not too late to test once every five years when they are five years old.

As long as a one-year-old child has spiritual roots, he needs to wait until five years before he can learn to read and practice.

In order to prevent children with immortal seedlings from not being tested due to negligence, Chen Xianming changed the testing system in Lingxi County and Qinghe County to start testing at the age of one and test once a year.

As long as they are between one and fifteen years old, they can be tested once a year for free.

The emergence of this new system can also maximize the discovery of immortal seedlings, so as not to bury immortal seedlings due to factors such as failure of the spirit testing array or missing the testing time.

The spirit root testing in Qinghe County was presided over by Chen Xianming in the previous few times. This time, bringing Chen Qingyun here can also be regarded as a way to get more familiar with the population of mortals in the family and have a clear idea.

The scale of the spirit testing conference is smaller than that of Lingxi County, with a total of 1,466 children participating, ranging from one to fifteen years old.

After the test began, no immortal seedlings appeared in the first two days of testing.

On the morning of the third day, a fire and gold dual spirit root appeared, still at the age of one year old.

In the afternoon, another water, wood and gold triple spirit root appeared, more than two years old. The spiritual roots were detected at this age, which obviously meant that they either did not participate in the spiritual root test before, or they were not detected at that time.

Chen Xianming specifically asked and learned from the parents named Chen Zhiming that the baby had been tested once when he was one year old, and it was indeed not detected at that time.

There are all kinds of things in the world, and it is not uncommon to discover spiritual roots after two or three tests, but the probability is very small.

After three days of testing, two immortal seedlings appeared. This result exceeded expectations, and Chen Xianming was in a good mood.

"There have been no immortal seedlings in Qinghe County for several years. This time we finally have a harvest. Our Chen family will have two more young cultivators."

More than 1,400 people, two immortal seedlings appeared, the probability of the birth of this spiritual root is very high, and about half of these people have been tested many times.

After the spiritual test conference, the two went to the homes of the two immortal seedlings and discussed the follow-up matters with their families.

In the future, when the two children reach the age of six, they will all learn to read and write and embark on the path of cultivation.

The two boys were included in the family tree. The one with double spiritual roots was named Chen Xianrui, and the one with three spiritual roots was named Chen Xianming.

Together with the seven people including Xianmiao, Xianbing, etc., there were nine immortal seedlings in total, three of whom had double spiritual roots.

These were the new generation of children in the family, with pure bloodlines, and they were the future hope of the family.

As for the other new cultivators in the family, with the introduction of the system of recruiting guest elders, there are currently two guest elders in the Chen family, with one new one.

The first one is Yan Wancheng, who is currently stationed on the Psychedelic Island, working with Chen Changzhi and others to plant spiritual fields and protect this spiritual island.

The second one is Wei Mingyuan, a casual cultivator living on Yuanzhou Island.

Wei Mingyuan came from a family of immortal cultivators. After the family was destroyed, he became a casual cultivator. Later, he paid spirit stones to stay temporarily on Yuanzhou Island. His origin was very clean, and he was a very suitable candidate to serve as a guest elder.

Wei Mingyuan's strength has increased in the past two or three years, from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop, and he has been constantly honing his cultivation in the past six months, and he can now try to build a foundation.

However, it is not easy to buy a foundation-building pill, and Wei Mingyuan does not have 10,000 spirit stones. Even if he has spirit stones, it is not easy to buy a foundation-building pill from the Chen family.

Although the family currently has eight foundation-building pills, these are the family heritage, and the medicinal effects can be preserved for more than 50 years, so there is no rush to use them, and there is no need to sell them to Wei Mingyuan to build a foundation.

Wei Mingyuan has not been in the Chen family for a long time, less than two years, and it is hard to say whether he is loyal or not. He can get a salary of 500 spirit stones every year.

It only takes 20 years for him to collect 10,000 merits, and then find a way to get a foundation-building pill by himself.

If the Chen family really exchanges him a foundation-building pill, it will undoubtedly make many Qi-refining cultivators from the outside world follow suit and join the Chen family as guest elders with the purpose of obtaining a foundation-building pill.

Once the foundation-building pill is used as a prize to attract many cultivators to join the Chen family, it will be difficult to win people's hearts.

Therefore, the foundation-building pill cannot be exchanged for guest elders at will. To exchange, the other party must at least have made great contributions to the family.

Even if Yan Wancheng has already met the foundation-building conditions, he still has to find a way to build a foundation.

The Chen family has no obligation to provide foundation-building pills while providing food and accommodation and giving them salaries. They still have to rely on their own efforts.

After completing the spiritual root test, on the way back, the two talked about cultivation.

When he said this, Chen Xianming looked extremely solemn, and the next words surprised Chen Qingyun secretly.

"Qingyun, you are now at the peak of the Purple Mansion, and your path is better than mine. In the future, you will be able to go further than this old man like me on the road to immortality."

"Our Chen family is now attracting much attention. The strength of our family members has grown too rapidly, which has caused many people to speculate that we have encountered a great treasure opportunity. I am afraid that many people are coveting our family heritage."

"The Great Wilderness Devouring Demon Art itself is your opportunity. You can share it with us to practice together. Your contribution to the family is the greatest and most convincing."

"In the past few days, we have discussed with Dao Lin and others and decided to devote all the strength of the family to cultivate a Jindan cultivator for the family."

Hearing the old patriarch say that he wanted to cultivate a Jindan cultivator, Chen Qingyun instantly thought of something.

Sure enough, the old patriarch's next words verified Chen Qingyun's guess.

"In the family, there are only you and me who are Purple Mansion cultivators, and Qingyan has not yet come out of retreat, so you are the natural candidate for the Golden Core Dao Seed."

"I have calculated that if you want to impact the Golden Core stage, you need at least 20,000 first-level demon pills, or 1,000 second-level demon pills, 100 third-level demon pills, and 10 fourth-level demon pills."

"Based on the previous purchase experience, I estimate that it will take at least 15 years to collect this number of demon pills."

"But don't worry, the family's current spiritual stone reserves have reached more than one million, and money is not a big problem. It just takes a lot of time to purchase demon pills, and we can't buy them too ostentatiously, so we can only take it step by step."

"We are confident that we can collect all the demon pills for you in at most 20 years to help you achieve enlightenment!"
