I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

The leader, a cultivator at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm, introduced himself and his seniority.

"You're probably three or four generations younger than me, so you don't need to call me grandpa or great-grandfather. Just call me Uncle Changling. I'm not that old."

Of the 43 people, not one spoke up because they were not familiar with each other.

"Qianhe Royal City is the only royal city of our Qianhe Chen clan, and it is also the place of origin of our Chen clan."

Legend has it that Ancestor Chen Ye cultivated the Five Crystal Vein Heavenly Willow here. You can look up these things in the library later.

While Chen Changling continued his incessant chatter, none of the others dared to speak.

Soon, they arrived at a square.

Chen Changling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You all wait here first. I'll go report your numbers. Someone will be coming to test your talents later, so don't wander off."

Chen Qingshan and the others nodded, not daring to move around carelessly.

Chen Qingshan observed the square at this moment. There were probably less than 10,000 people of the same age. Most of them had a hint of excitement on their faces and were looking forward to the binding of the spirit seed.

In the center of the square stand several magnificent and solemn statues.

Suddenly, a large, colorful portal appeared next to the statues at the innermost part of the square.

The large light gate didn't impress Chen Qingshan much; in fact, he found it rather ordinary.

It's not even as beautiful as the Flame Tree, which is over 2,000 meters tall, standing next to it.

However, the exclamations of surprise from the bystanders were constant, making it quite a lively scene.

Chen Qingshan stared at the over two-thousand-meter-tall Flame Tree, its spiritual energy flowing freely, and asked doubtfully, "Qinghuai, do you think that Flame Tree is a natural spiritual seed?"

Chen Qinghuai shook his head and said, "How would I know? We're from the same place. If you don't know, I certainly don't know either."

The conversation between Chen Qingshan and the other person attracted the attention of a Yuan Dan realm cultivator nearby.

"This Flame Tree is a natural spiritual seed blessed by heaven and earth, controlling all the fires of heaven and earth, born extraordinary."

Chen Qinghuai asked with delight, "Does this batch include spirit seeds of the Flame Tree?"

Chen Qinghuai wanted Qingyu to try and see if she could accommodate the spirit seed of the Flame Tree.

The Yuan Dan realm cultivator shook his head and said, "The number of Flame Tree spirit seeds condensed each year is extremely small."

Most of them are scattered throughout Qianhe Royal City, and lucky individuals often find spirit seeds, but most disappear into the world after a year.

Chen Qingshan asked in confusion, "Were the spirit seeds we obtained from the Spirit Seed Small World all condensed last year or this year?"

The Yuan Dan realm cultivator shook his head and said, "The rules of the Spirit Seed World are different from those of the ordinary world. The spirit seeds in the Spirit Seed Small World can be preserved for up to five years. Golden Core cultivators will put spirit seeds into it every year to ensure that the number of spirit seeds preserved is no less than tens of thousands."

Chen Qingshan, eager to gain more knowledge, asked, "Uncle, how many Golden Core cultivators does our Qianhe Chen Clan have?"

The cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm glanced at Chen Qingshan, smiled, and said nothing.

Before long, a Golden Core cultivator walked over, holding a precious pearl that Chen Qingshan had never seen before.

The Golden Core cultivator smiled and said, "Let's proceed one by one according to the recorded order."

The first one is Chen Qingzhen.

Chen Qingzhen stepped forward and placed his hand next to Baozhu.

The Golden Core cultivator said, "No need to lend a hand. This Spirit Testing Pearl scans your own body and inner world. Just stand aside."

Chen Qingzhen felt a little embarrassed, but since the person in front of him was a Golden Core cultivator, he could only obediently stand aside.

The Spirit Testing Pearl emitted light, and soon two green rays of light appeared on the pearl.

"Cultivation talent, C level."

Interior world, Part C, okay, next one.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by those around.

Because inner vision aptitude determines the compatibility of the spiritual seed, cultivation talent determines the speed of spiritual energy absorption.

Chen Xiali quickly stepped forward as well. Her cultivation talent was C, and her inner world was C below.

When it reached Chen Qinghuai, the Spirit Testing Pearl scanned him and then burst out with a bright golden-red color.

The Golden Core cultivator exclaimed with delight, "Chen Qinghuai, cultivation talent, A-level; inner world, A-level (top)!"

Then he said to Chen Qinghuai, "Come, stand next to me. My name is Chen Huaiyi. You can call me Uncle."

Chen Qinghuai was overjoyed and quickly went over, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Huaiyi!"

The people around were drawn to the scene, but no one spoke; their eyes, however, held a hint of envy.

Among the next dozen or so people, some had Grade C talent and others had Grade D talent.

By the time it was Chen Qingshan's turn, more than half of the people in the square had already undergone the spirit test.

After the spirit test, the pearl emitted two different colored lights, one a bright purple and the other a gold.

"Chen Qingshan, cultivation talent, lower level; inner world, upper level!" Chen Huaiyi said happily.

He then immediately called Chen Qingshan to stand next to him.

Those who had successfully tested their spirits gathered around again at this time.

"Inner vision aptitude determines the compatibility of the spiritual seed, and cultivation talent determines the speed of spiritual energy absorption and release," Chen Huaiyi shouted after testing their talents.

The surrounding people started chattering.

"Which clan do these people belong to? To have two people with top-tier talent at the same time!"

"It seems to be from Jintao Town, from the lineage of the Hengshan Patriarch."

"The Old Ancestor of Hengshan, it seems he passed away many years ago, hasn't he?"

Chen Huaiyi didn't say anything. The Hengshan Patriarch passed away a thousand years ago, and he had seen him in Qianhe Royal City back then.

However, when his lifespan ran out, he only survived the wind and fire disasters, and in the end, he could not survive the flood disaster and could only pass away peacefully.

After the spirit test was almost over, Chen Huaiyi led the two of them away.

Chen Qingshan looked at his childhood friend, thought for a moment, and then said, "Qingyu, see you later."

"Qingyu, see you later!" Chen Qinghuai said with a complicated expression.

He knew that from this moment on, he and Qingshan were no longer on the same path as Qingyu.

"See you later! Qinghuai, Qingshan..."

Chen Qingyu forced a smile and waved goodbye, but his voice was very soft.

Chen Qingyu watched the two figures as they left, her expression complex.

"Qingyu, the three of you may not be on the same path anymore. Give up your illusions," Chen Qingyu told herself.

"Is that your brother?" Chen Huaiyi asked curiously.

"Yes!" Chen Qinghuai and Chen Qingshan answered without hesitation.

"I had one or two cousins ​​like that in my younger days, but alas... things have changed." Chen Huaiyi said with a touch of nostalgia and a complicated expression.

He knew that it would not be difficult for the two people beside him to achieve the Golden Core stage in the future; in fact, it would be very easy.

He summoned a token with the number 35 on it.

"This batch includes 35 Class A clan members. You can go in early to select your spirit seed. Have you decided which spirit seed you want?"

Chen Qingshan: "Ziwei".

Chen Qinghuai: "Chinese tallow tree".

"Oh?" Chen Huaiyi was a little curious. The clan had top-tier spiritual seeds like the Five Crystal Vein Heavenly Willow and the Radiant Crystal Mulberry, so why would these two juniors choose two primitive spiritual seeds?

"One of you is preparing to take the path of destiny? The other is preparing to take the path of stars?" Chen Huaiyi immediately made the connection to the special characteristics of these two spiritual seeds.

Chen Qingshan and Chen Qinghuai nodded; that was indeed what they thought.

"Your inner world must contain primordial phenomena, right?"

Chen Qinghuai thought for a moment, then said, "I am the star of the Broken Army and the star of the Greedy Wolf."

Chen Qingshan then spoke up: "I am the Nine Peaks."

Chen Huaiyi pondered for a long time and said, "Those with Grade A talent can choose a treasure from the family's treasury. One of the more important spiritual items for advancing the Ziwei Spirit Seed is the Three Lights Spirit Water. You can go and obtain the Nine-Flower Leaf, which allows you to collect one drop of spiritual water every day."

Once you obtain the Nine-Flower Leaf, seek me out for the method to control it. This way, you can also reliably obtain the Three Lights Spirit Water.

Chen Qingshan nodded gratefully.

Then Chen Huaiyi said to Chen Qinghuai, "Go to the treasure vault and find the Star Gazing Platform or the Star-Picking Tower. After you get them, I will teach you how to use them."

Chen Qinghuai gratefully bowed to Chen Huaiyi.
