Chapter 116 Immortal Ascension Conference
Chapter 117 Immortal Ascension Conference
Everyone knows that the foundation of monks comes from mortals.
Immortal cultivators live in places where spiritual energy is abundant, that is, on various spiritual veins and islands, breathing in the essence of heaven and earth and practicing with all their heart.
Those vast lands with thin spiritual energy and no spiritual veins were naturally occupied by mortal kingdoms.
Therefore, almost all immortal cultivation forces will hold immortal ascension conferences at appropriate times to select immortal seedlings and strengthen themselves.
The Li family controls thousands of miles of sea and countless mortal island nations. They hold an Ascension Conference every five years.
It can be said to be a carnival for all the small families and forces under his command.
"Let's go to the Evergreen Palace and ask."
Li Quanqing and his companion arrived at the Changqing Hall where the family issued tasks, and thought they were the first to arrive.
Unexpectedly, there were already three or four elders waiting. They were all under Li Kunli's command and were considered acquaintances.
"Elder Quan Qing is here to accept the mission, is he also going to host an Ascension Conference?"
An elder who looked very familiar spoke with a mischievous smile. He must be a top-notch weapon refiner in the family.
"Yeah, is it the same for you all?"
Li Quanqing said somewhat embarrassedly that he didn't expect there were so many smart people with active brains.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They were all indifferent and cunning guys.
They were too familiar with the Third Elder's temper. When he was furious, he was like an active volcano that could erupt at any time.
So no one wants to stay on the island and wants to stay away from this troubled place.
"According to the rules of previous years, each Ascension Conference is divided into nine parts. Elders, please choose one for yourself."
These nine parts are the central part with Qingyu Island as the core, plus the east, west, south and north parts, as well as the southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest.
The central part is closest to the main island and is where a large number of Li Jiafan's blood clan members gather, so it has always been very popular.
But the elders present did not even look at them and directly chose those remote sea areas.
"I choose the eastern seas."
Li Quanqing spoke, he has always liked the direction "East".
"Sir, the eastern seas have always been dominated by those small Qi-refining families. There are many mortal islands, and the affairs are very busy."
A deacon spoke cautiously to remind them.
"No problem. It's just what I want, to be busy."
Li Quanqing spoke nonchalantly.
Anyway, when the time comes, the ones who will actually measure the spiritual roots of the mortal children will be Li Quanmo's subordinates, and the two of them will just be witnesses.
After accepting the task, Li Quanqing also got the things needed to measure spiritual roots.
The top-grade flying magic weapon is the Ascension Bridge, and the lower-grade spiritual weapon is the Spirit Testing Platform.
Measuring spiritual roots is no small matter.
Those small Qi-refining families can only afford simple spirit-testing plates that can measure whether a child has spiritual roots, and at most which attribute they tend to lean towards.
If you want to truly know the five elements distribution of the spiritual roots, whether they are of high, medium or low quality, you have to rely on the spiritual measuring platform.
Only the Foundation Building families and those stronger Qi Refining families can afford this kind of expensive spiritual weapon.
This is also the result of deliberate control by high-level cultivators of the Jindan Sect, in order to prevent some small families from hiding those superior immortal seedlings and using them for their own benefit.
After all, the Ascension Conference represents the family's reputation, so the Qingyu Li family specially prepared a tower ship and a spirit boat for each elder.
There were fluttering ribbons on the boat, drums roared, and jade fish and dragon flags fluttered in the wind, making it as grand as the enthronement of a secular emperor.
"It's a pity that Quan Ge is not here, otherwise this scene would be enough for him to show off for the rest of his life."
Li Quanmo looked at the family monks guarding the four directions, and couldn't help but smile on his cold face.
Two years have passed, and this quiet guy has really changed a lot. He has become more talkative and smiles more often.
As a result, the speed of cultivation has also increased.
"lets go."
Li Quanqing stood at the bow and gave orders, which were immediately passed down by the family stewards in an awe-inspiring manner.
Woohoo!
A low horn sounded, the ship trembled slightly, the aura of the formation enveloped the deck, and it slowly set sail.
Behind them, huge ships of mortal merchant caravans also set sail from Qingyu Island and its seven branch islands. Most of them had the background of Li family cultivators and followed them closely.
The Ascension Conference is not only a grand event in the world of immortals, but also a grand event for mortals.
Any mortal family that is found to have immortal seeds will be given a generous reward of gold and silver. In addition, the islands are rich in resources and can share what they have with each other.
This attracted many mortal caravans to flock there.
"The first island, Baishao Island Liu Family."
Li Quanqing took out the sea map and looked at the first spiritual island seven hundred miles away from Qingyu Island. It was considered a relatively strong small family under the Li family.
When the tower ship was still dozens of miles away from Baishao Island, a spirit boat came speeding towards them, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
"Liu Baixu, the head of the Liu clan, greets the envoy of the upper clan who ascended to immortality. I wonder which elder is here?"
From a long distance away, a voice was clearly heard, the tone was extremely respectful and cautious.
Li Quanqing looked down. It turned out that the head of the Liu family was a powerful person who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining.
He was about fifty years old, and there was still a slight possibility of reaching the foundation building stage. Beside him, there were three family elders, all of whom were at the late stage of Qi Refining.
"Ask them to come up."
Li Quanqing opened his mouth and chatted with everyone in the Liu family with a smile.
Seeing such a young Li clan elder, Liu Baixu couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking of a certain young talent that had recently risen from the Qingyu Li clan, his attitude became even more respectful.
When the ship arrived at Baishao Island, the head of the Liu family spoke respectfully: "This year, the Baishao Liu family has a total of 31 immortal seedlings under their command. Elder Quanqing, please help and lower the Ascension Bridge."
Li Quanqing nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed, and suddenly the blue sea magic power surged and completely sank into the jade-white Ascension Bridge.
This special magical weapon was five meters long and more than ten meters wide. At this moment, it suddenly emitted a bright light and floated above the deck.
The three of them ascended the Immortal Bridge, and were immediately enveloped in rosy glow, hiding their faces, making them appear unfathomable and majestic.
Li Quanqing controlled the flying magic weapon, with the whistling of wind in his ears. In the blink of an eye, it cut through the sky and hung above Baishao Island.
There was a dense crowd of people gathering together. Under everyone's attention, thirty-one children were standing in the center, being guarded and looking quite nervous.
They were the immortal seedlings that the Liu family had selected in advance using the spirit-testing plate, but their specific spiritual roots still needed to be specifically measured.
"Chief Liu, there are no high-quality immortal seedlings hidden by the nobles in advance, right?"
Li Quanqing looked down at the tens of thousands of mortals below and suddenly asked with a smile.
Even though one's spiritual roots are of the highest quality, they cannot be determined with a spirit measuring disk, but as long as one practices the techniques, one can still roughly guess their level based on one's own progress.
"Except for the members of my Liu family, there are no traces of power left in the bodies of other immortal seedlings. The elder can investigate it personally."
Liu Baixu said this frankly, without any fear.
Li Quanqing nodded and waved his sleeves. A palm-sized altar flew out from his sleeves and grew in the wind.
The altar was of five colors, with dense patterns all over it. It flew out from the Ascension Bridge and then fell to the ground, turning into the size of a small mountain.
"Fairy!"
"It's a magical weapon from the immortal family!"
With a loud crash, a large number of mortals below knelt down suddenly, respecting him as if he were a god, with eyes of longing and fear.
Li Quanqing's eyes were indifferent, and he deliberately used his magic power. A majestic voice came out from the rosy glow, shaking the world.
"All immortal seedlings, come on stage one after another to test your spiritual roots. Do not make any noise. Those who disobey this order will be punished!"
These fairy seedlings are just children between seven and twelve years old. Although they are young, they are talented and naturally gifted, and they look truly extraordinary.
Led by several immortal seedlings of the Liu family, they climbed onto the spirit-testing platform one by one. Suddenly, various colored lights rose up, no more than two or three inches high.
"They are all low-grade spiritual roots, alas!"
Liu Baixu sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful.
Upon seeing this, Li Quanqing also shook his head, told the stewards to record the results of the spiritual roots of these immortal seedlings in a book, and then walked away on the jade bridge.
Only those mortal immortal seedlings who are not descendants of the Li family are worthy of being taken back to Qingyu Island for cultivation if they have reached the level of middle-grade spiritual roots.
"Farewell, Elder Quan Qing."
Although Liu Baixu had a higher level of cultivation, he was clearly aware of his position and saluted respectfully.
"Is this the Ascension Conference?"
Li Quanqing looked down at the mortals who were getting farther and farther away from him and becoming more and more blurred, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If he had not been born into the Li family and had not possessed spiritual roots, he would probably be like these mortals now, looking up at the so-called immortals who were getting farther and farther away.
Woohoo!
The ship roared and slowly set sail again, heading for the next spiritual island.
This process was repeated over and over again for five days, and even Li Quanqing felt a little tired.
Fortunately, he did not gain nothing. He obtained the cultivation seeds of five people with middle-grade spiritual roots and planned to take them back to his family for cultivation.
"All immortal seedlings, come on stage one after another..."
Li Quanqing was suspended in the air on the Immortal Bridge, making a rumbling sound, like an expressionless machine.
But this time, there were new changes.
As a little girl stepped onto the spirit-testing platform, the altar suddenly roared, and various spiritual lights bloomed, with a touch of water-blue light blooming.
The height is more than six inches!
"This is... a top-grade water spirit root!"
Beside him, Li Quanmo's face showed a hint of surprise at first, and then quickly turned into a look of deep joy.
The altar glow is used as the standard. Less than 1 inch is inferior, 1~3 inches are low grade, 3~5 inches are medium, 5~7 inches are superior, and 7~9 inches are earth spirit roots.
"Quan Qing, you have brought back a top-grade spiritual root to the family. This is no small achievement!"
Li Quanmo spoke in a low voice, his expression unable to hide his excitement.
In the entire Qingyu Li family, there are only three top-grade spiritual roots, which shows how precious they are.
Li Quanqing glanced at him, but instead of being excited, he reminded him, "Have you forgotten the rules of the sect? All high-grade spiritual roots that are not from our clan must first be reported to the Shuihua Sword Sect!"
Li Quanmo frowned, and immediately looked at the young chieftain who was in charge of this island, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the name of this girl?"
The cultivator's surname was Fang and he came from a small family. He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining and was also in endless surprise at this moment.
He thought for a moment and replied respectfully, "This little girl is from a pearl-diving family on a nearby island. Her name is Zhou Caiwei and she is only seven years old."
