The Legend of the Netherworld

The messenger paused for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Actually, there is another profession - alchemist.

Although I only mentioned it briefly, it can help you gain some knowledge.

Alchemist is an extremely rare profession. Only great empires, great ancestral temples, and aristocratic families with profound cultural heritage can train a true alchemist.

Until now, I have only heard of it and have never seen one in person. I am not very familiar with the specific knowledge of alchemy. "

The children around were stunned. The profession of alchemist sounded mysterious just by hearing the name.

However, everyone's attention quickly returned to the bone-touching test in front of them.

The messenger continued, "Next, I will conduct a bone-touching test on you to see if you possess the talent for cultivation, and whether you are suited to Qi or body cultivation. Now that I have finished, does anyone have any questions?"

As soon as these words fell, several older children raised their hands. The messenger smiled and pointed to a girl standing closer to the front. It was Yuan Ni, the village chief's daughter. The thirteen-year-old girl had a hint of curiosity and nervousness on her face.

"Mr. Envoy, how long will it take to become as powerful as those six great men?" she asked cautiously.

The messenger smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. The six great powers have already become gods. Their realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people. For us, it is an extremely long road, perhaps even an unreachable destination."

Yuan Ni nodded. Although the answer was a little disappointing, her eyes still flashed with the desire for cultivation.

The messenger then called out another boy, eleven-year-old Wang Han, the eldest grandson of the village's Wang family. He stood up and said anxiously, "Sir Messenger, what is your current realm? Is cultivation difficult?"

The messenger smiled and replied, "I just broke through not long ago and entered the Dingmao Sixth Realm. Cultivation depends mainly on talent. My talent is average, and it took me over sixty years of cultivation to finally break through to this realm. The path of cultivation is indeed very difficult."

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, he pretended to be mysterious and asked, "I just said that I am at the Dingmao Sixth Realm. Do you think I am a Qi cultivator or a Body cultivator?"

Many smart children immediately answered loudly: "Qi Xiu!"

The messenger nodded, clearly pleased with the children's attentiveness. "Very good, it shows everyone has listened carefully to my explanation. Now, line up for bone testing. Let's see who has the talent for cultivation and who will embark on the path of cultivation."

The children in the village stood up excitedly and lined up in a long queue in order of arrival.

Yuan Ni was the first one in line, while Lin Xiao and Lin Jiao were at the end, with Lin Jiao second to last and Lin Xiao last.

There are fifty children in the village, and today, their fate will be tested.

Yuan Ni was the first to stand before the messenger. The messenger gently reached out and touched her bones, and began to inject energy into her. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Mortal."

The village chief next to him seemed a little unwilling and quickly requested, "Sir Messenger, can you touch me again?"

The messenger touched it again helplessly, but the result remained the same: "Sorry, still a mortal."

Upon hearing this result, Yuan Ni's tears suddenly burst out and she ran away crying.

The test continued. Nine-year-old Wang Kai was immediately identified as a mortal; twelve-year-old Zhensheng was also a mortal; eight-year-old Li Zi was also a mortal... Over a dozen children were tested in quick succession, and all were found to be mortals.

The whole scene began to grow tense. Parents in the village also began to show anxious expressions, some even standing up and loudly requesting that the messenger touch their children one more time.

But no matter how many times they touched it, the result did not change, and the children lost their qualifications to practice one after another.

It was the turn of Wang Han, one of the most promising children in the village.

But the result was still mortal. An atmosphere of disappointment gradually spread, and even the messenger frowned.

The messenger looked at the thirty children in front of him who had their bones measured and found that they were all mortals. He could not help but feel surprised and confused.

In previous years, when Feng Shui Academy came to recruit, they would take away at least five talented children from even the most remote villages.

Today's situation was truly unusual, and he could only reluctantly console himself by saying, "There should be talented people behind us. The talented kids are all behind us."

However, one child after another still showed no talent, and the messenger's confidence began to waver.

It was Lin Jiao's turn. Her palms were slightly sweaty, and her body was stiff with nervousness. She approached the messenger cautiously, her eyes filled with anticipation and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Don't worry, you and I will definitely be able to practice."

He also had a firm belief in his heart: he was the protagonist of this world, and fate had destined him to be able to practice.

As his "sister", Lin Jiao must also have the talent for cultivation, at least in the early stages she must be able to move forward with me.

Lin Jiao slowly walked to the messenger, closed her eyes and waited for the decision of fate.
