The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Su Xiaoya's return aroused the enthusiasm of the entire Yingyuefang City.

Including all those who failed the spiritual root test, no one left. They insisted on watching the entire process of the evil-slaying team in the square, and insisted on waiting until Su Xiaoya led the evil-slaying team to return. They still had no intention of leaving.

They don't have spiritual roots, but they have enthusiasm and loyalty. They can work in the Su family's businesses and farm for the Su family!

Move mountains and reclaim seas!

That is something that only immortals can do.

Therefore, they are so close to the immortals, how could they miss the opportunity to become immortals!

Not to mention not leaving for a whole day, they could stay for ten days, if not a hundred days, as long as they could let the Su family see their loyalty and persistence.

Goooo!

Uh!

I haven’t eaten for a whole day. I feel fine but my stomach is acting weird. I’m so hungry!

But I can't leave.

Given the choice between starving and showing loyalty, everyone chose to be loyal.

If you don’t die from skipping a few meals, then you’ll miss the chance to show your loyalty, and then you’d be worse off dead!

Especially those who came from other places, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths when they saw the "street lights" lit up around the square, making the entire square as bright as day.

The residents of Yingyuefang City instantly felt a surge of superiority. Look, this is the power of an immortal. How can it be compared to the lanterns of ordinary people?

At this moment, several old ladies dressed in Su family costumes put up a sign in a corner of the square:

"Bigu Pill"

Effect: Taking one pill can strengthen your body and keep you from feeling hungry even if you don’t eat or drink for three days

How to buy: For every "Bigu Pill" you buy, you need to open up one acre of wasteland for the Su family in a designated area outside Yingyue Market. (This must be completed within three days)

Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng were stunned when they caught a glimpse of this scene.

There was no other reason, someone in the Su family actually managed to refine the Qigong Pill.

Although it is the most basic fasting pill, it is still a pill!

The Su family already has its own alchemist. They are really doing well.

It can be seen that the two old grandfathers, Su Yunyou and Su Yunyi, are really dedicated to the development of the Su family and have taken all aspects into consideration.

Indeed, the old saying “An old man in the family is like a treasure” is true.

Seeing Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng looking towards the corner, Su Qingshi immediately sent a message to Su Xiaoya:

"This is the elixir that Su Gaoshuang and his fellow wood spirit roots and Su Gaoming and his fellow fire spirit roots worked together to refine and practice their skills."

After thinking about it, Su Qingshi simply gave Su Xiaoya a brief introduction:

"The most common thing they refine is this kind of fasting pill, but we in the Su family all eat spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables directly, which gives us more spiritual energy, so we naturally don't eat fasting pills. Except for those who need to practice in seclusion and go to the clan to exchange a few bottles, we don't consume much on normal days."

Su Xiaoya understood that in order to improve their alchemy skills, Su Gaoshuang and the others must have practiced constantly. So if they were not careful, the reserve of "Bigu Pill" would be too large, so they changed the way to consume it.

Moreover, Su Xiaoya also planned to plant a large amount of spiritual rice. She hoped that one day even mortals would be able to afford to eat spiritual rice, which would improve the physical fitness of the Chinese people, especially pregnant women eating spiritual rice, which would benefit the fetus more.

This way, we can also increase the chances of activating the spiritual roots of our countrymen. It's the best of both worlds, why not do it!

Su Xiaoya immediately affirmed her family's approach and briefly told Su Qingshi about her own plans.

Su Qingshi was even happier. He didn't expect that Su Xiaoya's idea was the same as theirs. This was great.

Because of his excitement, Su Qingshi directly told Su Xiaoya the recipe of the Bigu Pill through voice transmission:

Huangshi, Lingmi, lotus seeds, coix seeds, white lentils, red dates, ginseng, honey, and cloves.

Uh!

So down-to-earth?

This is truly the mortal version of alchemy.

However, I will copy out some basic pill recipes later so that my clansmen can practice more. Maybe the Su family can really produce a grandmaster of alchemy!

This was just a small episode in the square. The second level of the assessment in the National Master's Hall - breaking through the illusion array - had already begun.

Su Xiaoya looked at the people who passed the second level, and they were really quite a lot. At first glance, it looked densely packed, at least a thousand people, and the selection rate was about one in ten.

In fact, this calculation is not quite accurate. After all, the nine kings have all been pre-selected in their own countries, and all those brought here to take the test have spiritual roots.

The same applies to the nine cities directly under the jurisdiction of the National Master’s Palace.

Therefore, this ratio is actually inaccurate.

However, with the long-term nourishment of spiritual rice in the future, not to mention what will happen to the people of the nine countries, at least the physical fitness of the people of the nine cities directly under the National Master's Palace will be greatly improved, and more and more people will have spiritual roots.

With the nine cities setting the example, the nine major countries will surely follow suit, and cohesion will naturally come.

Excellent!

Su Xiaoya was thinking about all sorts of things while paying attention to the assessment situation in the illusion array.

The key point is those spiritual roots.

There were five people with natural spiritual roots in the ruined temple, Xiao Ye and his group had seven people with natural spiritual roots, plus the two people with natural spiritual roots that Su Xiaoya and her group tested before they set out. The rulers of each of the nine countries also brought one person with natural spiritual roots, and the nine cities directly under the National Master's Palace also brought two people with natural spiritual roots.

Inside and out, these are the twenty-eight spiritual roots.

So many spiritual roots also gave Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng a great surprise.

Of course, the three sects, one religion and one school of thought in the holy land are all becoming jealous.

A rough calculation showed that the National Master Hall had collected nearly thirty Heavenly Spiritual Roots this time. In comparison, more than a hundred single spiritual roots could not arouse the jealousy of the five elders of the Holy Land.

Natural spiritual roots!

Only six people have emerged from the Holy Land in the past hundred years, and they are the five Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Holy Land and Leng Yuncang of the Taixu Immortal Sect.

However, when the National Master Hall recruited outer disciples, nearly thirty people with natural spiritual roots appeared all of a sudden.

What kind of incredible luck is this!

Heavenly spiritual roots are not cabbages!

The Dabai Menu Spiritual Roots hid aside and cried. With more than a hundred Spiritual Roots suddenly appearing, there would be no advantage.

Especially those cultivators who had already drawn Qi into their bodies. They were still very proud before coming, but once these nearly thirty natural spiritual roots appeared, they instantly became cabbages. How could they not cry?

Fortunately, fortunately there were more than a hundred cabbages!

This was said by the single spiritual root disciple who was taking the test. When the five elders of the Holy Land heard this, their faces twitched and they also felt resentful in their hearts.

The sun was shining brightly and an awkward silence filled the selection square.

The nine people with natural spiritual roots brought by the rulers of the nine countries and the two people with natural spiritual roots from the nine cities directly under the National Master's Hall have participated in the test one after another.

Mu Xiaohu, who had just been tested and had a single fire spirit root, clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Yunrou, the master with single gold spiritual root standing beside him, bit her lip, her eyes also full of unwillingness: "Brother Xiaohu, we are rare single spiritual roots, I didn't expect that we have become cabbages now..."

puff!

Hahaha!

"Miss, we won't turn into cabbages!"

The children standing next to the two of them couldn't help but burst out laughing. There was nothing they could do. The kids were only about five or six years old and didn't understand the difference between natural spiritual roots and single spiritual roots. They just thought the cabbage metaphor was too funny.

"That's right, big sister. If we have a single spiritual root, we'd better become Pegasus. It would be so majestic to fly in the sky!"

"That's right. I just counted them. There are a hundred Pegasus. There are about a hundred of us with just spiritual roots. Isn't it just the right time to turn into Pegasus?"

……

Uh!

The child's words were really wild and imaginative, and the idea was... exceptionally fresh. The other single spiritual roots also laughed when they heard it, and the discomfort that had originally arisen in their hearts because of Shi Yunrou's words also dissipated.

So what if it's cabbage? That's also a chance to join the law enforcement team and ride a Pegasus.

Therefore, the cabbage riding on a flying horse is also the cabbage that brings honor to the family.

"Who said it wasn't?" The bitterness in Mu Xiaohu's heart faded a little, but he couldn't help but shook his head gently, "Before I came here, my father said that only one in a hundred people had a single spiritual root, but now, everywhere I look, there are people with single spiritual roots."

He looked at the group of disciples with natural spiritual roots who were standing alone in front of Fanfan not far away, and a trace of jealousy couldn't help but creep into his eyes.

His father had inquired about it. Although this little kid is very young and is not even as tall as his waist, he is already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

His father had told him to get along well with Fanfan. If he could become Fanfan's confidant, he would never lack cultivation resources in the future. With his talent of a single spiritual root, he would definitely be able to break through the foundation-building stage, or even the golden elixir stage.

At that time, their family can also become a subsidiary family of the Su family, obtain more cultivation resources, and gain a firm foothold near Yingyue Market.

That's why his father sent him here with only one spiritual root.

And he is the only hope for the Mu family to become a subsidiary family of the Su family, and he cannot let his father down.

Because he has a single spiritual root and the best talent, the family's last bit of cultivation resources were given to him. His brothers and sisters with double spiritual roots can't even draw Qi into their bodies now - without spiritual energy and resources, they can only waste their spiritual roots.

Every time he saw the envious and longing eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, although he felt very proud, he also felt a little guilty and a little uncomfortable.

But now, he can't even stand next to Fanfan, so how can he possibly gain Fanfan's favor?

He didn't even have a chance to express his loyalty.

The Su family is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. If he wants to stand out and obtain more resources for cultivation, it is not as easy as he and his father thought.

When he spoke again, there was a hint of disappointment in Mu Xiaohu's voice: "Those people are really lucky. They were noticed by Master Fanfan as soon as they arrived."

Shi Yunrou sighed: "I heard that other hidden sects and big hidden families treat single spiritual roots as guests of honor, and they can become inner disciples as soon as they go there."

Shi Yunrou paused, her tone more aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. "Who knew that the Imperial Master Hall could attract so many people with heavenly spiritual roots? Those of us with only one spiritual root may not even be able to compete with the core disciples of the outer sect."

Shi Yunrou and Mu Xiaohu were in a similar situation. The two families also planned to marry each other, thinking that they would be able to stay together and keep each other warm by joining the Su family in the future.

But now, the plans of the two families are obviously going to fail.

Who knew that there would be so many people with natural spiritual roots and single spiritual roots in this continent, making them lose all their advantages.

However, they didn't dare to leave and join other immortal cultivation forces. Didn't they see that the Bai family specialized in digging out other people's spiritual roots?

They don't dare to gamble!

However, looking at the nearly two thousand people who passed, more than a hundred of them have single spiritual roots, and they still have the opportunity to obtain more cultivation resources.

However, I don’t know if the Su family’s cultivation resources are enough for so many people to cultivate? Especially after allocating them to almost thirty people with heavenly spiritual roots, how much will be left?

There was a hint of confusion in Shi Yunrou's eyes.

For a moment, Mu Xiaohu and Shi Yunrou fell silent, feeling a bit caught in a dilemma.

This made the five elders of the holy land very jealous.

The incredible luck of the National Master is really enviable and hateful!

Isn't it just luck?

Over the years, which one of the immortal cultivation sects or immortal cultivation families that has a little bit of inheritance and a little bit of assets would not treasure their own possessions?

These days, even if spiritual roots want to seek refuge, they can't even find the door, which makes it easy for the National Master Hall and the Su family.

With this episode, everyone who passed the first level of the test was secretly cheering themselves up to perform better.

More than a thousand people!

We are all competitors for cultivation resources.

Therefore, when the second level "Three Fires Refining Heart Formation" was activated, more than a thousand people rushed into the square and stepped into the illusion.

Greed, anger and ignorance are Buddhist concepts, also known as the three poisons, three stains and three fires. Therefore, this trial illusion array is also known as the "Three Fires Mind Refining Array."

Greed refers to the desire for favorable conditions, and one must obtain them, otherwise one will be unwilling to do so.

Anger refers to being angry at adverse circumstances, getting angry when things don’t go your way, being irrational, and acting on impulse;

Ignorance refers to not understanding the truth, not knowing right from wrong, not being able to differentiate between good and evil, and taking things in a perverse and unreasonable manner, and committing evil acts.

This "Three Fires Refining Heart Formation" is centered around greed, anger, and ignorance, and it arouses the deepest desires of the examinees, thereby weaving an illusion. Only those who overcome their inner tenacity can break out of the formation and pass the test.

The moment Ning Deyan stepped into the formation, the temperature of his body dropped sharply. The north wind swept across his cheeks with ice crystals. The square that should have been empty suddenly appeared with a towering golden palace. What hung from the eaves were not wind chimes, but heads shining with cold light.

"Senior Brother Ning! Save me!" A familiar cry for help came from the hall. Ning Deyan's pupils shrank suddenly - it was his junior sister Yuan Yingtao who had been missing for three years. At this moment, she was nailed to the gilded pillar with chains, and her snow-white clothes were soaked with blood.

"The fire of greed has been ignited, be careful not to fall into the abyss of desire." The reminder from the ancestor in the soul-nourishing wooden bracelet suddenly exploded in his mind. He clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

Just as he hesitated, the wound on Yuan Yingtao's neck suddenly blossomed into a red lotus, and her whole body turned into thousands of butterflies flying towards him.

Ning Deyan swung his sword instinctively, but the tip of the sword pierced through the illusion and pierced into his palm. At the moment when the smell of blood filled the air, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless arms stretched out from the dark cracks, dragging him into the bottomless cave.

At the bottom of the cave, faint blue phosphorescent light illuminated the broken swords and armor on the ground.

Ning Deyan staggered to his feet, only to see his name densely carved on the stone wall, with different years marked next to each "Ningde Inkstone".

On the altar in the front, stood a man who looked just like him, playing with the family token.

"How can you get the true teachings of the ancestor?" The man sneered and threw the token into the air, "I obviously work harder than you, more..."

Before he could finish his words, the token suddenly turned into a poisonous snake and bit the man's throat fiercely.

Ning Deyan stepped back in fear, but his back hit a cold body - when he looked back, he saw countless "himself" standing shoulder to shoulder, with thick hatred in their eyes.

The roof of the cave began to collapse, and the laughter of children could be heard among the rubble.

In the dust, Ning Deyan saw his seven-year-old self kneeling in front of a dilapidated temple, handing half a bowl of cold porridge to his seriously ill mother.

The scene suddenly twisted, and the mother's face turned into that of the clan leader, Second Uncle, who threw the bowl of porridge on the ground coldly: "With your mediocre talent, are you worthy of learning swordsmanship?"

"Enough!" Ning Deyan suddenly roared, swinging his sword at the illusion. Wherever the sword went, the marks on the stone wall, the clone on the altar, and the collapsed cave shattered.

When the last fragment disappeared, he found himself standing outside the trial array, with a wound on his palm.

He was actually the first one to pass the trial?

Long Aokui stroked his beard and chuckled: "It is good to be able to cut off the anger in the fire of greed and find your true heart in the realm of delusion."

The five elders of the Holy Land were so angry that their teeth almost dropped. Wasn't this the dark-type spiritual root selected from the capital? He was really a good seedling of the dark department!

Pity!

I don’t know whether the National Master’s Palace or the Su family has a secret department.
