Linyou County is a major county on Shaanxi Road. It is located in the hilly and gully area of ​​the dry plateau in Weibei. It is adjacent to Yongshou and Ganxian in the east, Qianyang and Fengxiang in the west, Fufeng in the south, Qishan in the north, and Lingtai County in the north. Because it is not far from Chang'an, the capital of the previous dynasty, it is extremely rich.

It was midsummer and it was the hottest afternoon, so few people worked hard, most of them stayed in the house for a nap, and some sat under the shade of trees, shaking their palm-leaf fans to cool off and chat.

The golden crow hangs in the air, the cicadas roar, and there is no hot wind.

In a small house in the middle of Linyou County, a little boy of seven or eight years old was copying books by his desk. The room he was in looked simple and unpretentious, without much decoration. After a closer look, the utensils in the room were all exquisite and valuable. From this, it seemed that the little boy's family was in a wealthy place.

Look at this little boy again.

Because he was young, his eyebrows did not grow wide, and his facial features looked at most medium and above level. However, the calm temperament exuded from his body made him look brighter. In addition, his eyes as bright as stars, as if they were the finishing touch, made his whole face look alive, making him feel very smart.

Not only that, on such a hot day, a child of seven or eight years old can actually copy books here with patience and meticulous work, which shows his perseverance.

Although she was already sweating, the little boy was still writing intently. After writing the last stroke, he put down his pen and picked up the square scarf beside him and wiped away the sweat from his face.

The little boy's surname is Chu, his name is Chu, and his name is Chunming. He will be nine years old this year as autumn begins. Although he is now free of food and clothing, he looks like a rich young man, but his life experience is actually a bit bumpy.

Chu Chuan's mother was dysfunctional when she gave birth to him and almost couldn't hold on. In the end, although she tried her best to give birth to him, she was exhausted. If it weren't for the magic medicine, she would have passed away at that time. However, even so, Chu's mother passed away when Chu Chuan was five years old.

His father was a monk. Although he had some cultivation, he was seriously injured when he was young and lost his wife who was deeply in love with his wife. After several blows, his health was still bad, so he also went there when Chu Chuan was seven years old.

In this way, Chu Chuan lost his parents at a young age.

Fortunately, he also has a second uncle. After Chu Chu's parents all passed away, he adopted him in his mansion. Because he was the only son of his brother, he had never given up, so Chu Chu Chu's second uncle and aunt treated him very well and treated him as a parent-child.

But it was just a matter of relying on others. Chu Chuan had already remembered it when he arrived at his second uncle's house, so he had a gap with his second uncle and aunt.

In addition, he lost his mother since childhood, and although his father cared about him, he was very strict in discipline. Therefore, although he was sensible and polite, he acted properly, but his temperament was too cold and distant.

But in the eyes of others, the son of the Chu uncle's family is definitely a gentle, polite and promising child.

"Chuan'er, you kid, the immortal master is coming soon, but you are still so slow. I really don't know what to say about you!" With these stuttering words, a woman in her thirties lifted the curtain.

The woman is beautiful and does not wear any makeup. She is wearing green lake clothes. She is looking at him with a angrily and loving look, holding a white porcelain bowl in her hand.

The little Chu Chuan didn't say anything about the words his husband taught him, such as "Shan Tai collapsed before he was not surprised", but said, "What my aunt said is that Chuaner knew."

The lady knew that he just agreed with her mouth every time, and she would still show off her unhurried appearance when encountering urgent matters in the future. She didn't think it was offended and said with a smile: "Come on, drink this bowl of iced bayberry soup to relieve the heat, and then go to the government office. The young master of the Xiao family has already asked Changsheng to come and urge him."

Chu Chuan smiled and took the iced sour plum soup from the woman's hand. After drinking it in a hurry, he said goodbye to the woman and walked out in a hurry.

The woman couldn't help but say, "I was not anxious before, but now I'm anxious." She looked at the empty white porcelain bowl in her hand and murmured, "I'm drinking so urgently this sour plum soup is not afraid of cold throats." A complicated emotion was revealed in her words.

Chu Chuan left the yard. At this time, a little boy who was one or two years older than him was already waiting, and his expression revealed a little impatience.

The boy was dressed in white brocade clothes, dressed in exquisite clothes and had handsome eyebrows. He could tell at a glance that he would be a handsome young man when he grew up. He was much better than Chu Chuan's appearance.

This person is the young master of the Xiao family mentioned by Aunt Chu Chuan. His name is Chen, and he is called Xiao Chen.

The Xiao family is the number one big family in Linyou Town. One of the earth immortals had a descendant of the ancestors, and now there is a Yuanying ancestor who is an elder in the Cangyun Sect.

Although Xiao Chen was born with honor, he had no habits of playing tricks except for being a bit arrogant. Therefore, he was consistent with Chu Chuan's temper and became a good friend.

It's amazing to say that Xiao Chen is from a noble family and should have had a relationship with his young master and lady who is in the same family background. However, he doesn't like the young master and lady of several other aristocratic families in Linyou County. He favors Chu Chuan, who is from a middle-class family, and has "hang out" since he was a child and has a very good relationship.

The Xiao family was also open-minded. Seeing that Chu Chuan was smart and steady at a young age, he acted properly, Xiao Chen and him were inseparable.

Behind Xiao Chen was a boy dressed as a servant. He looked about the same age as Chu Chuan, and looked ordinary. He looked a little dull, which was the immortality mentioned by Aunt Chu Chuan.

This Changsheng was originally a wandering child. Seeing that he was wearing ragged clothes in the cold winter, Xiao Chen's father would rather find some food that others had dumped than beg for. He felt that he was a bit proud, so he asked him curiously.

After asking, he found that although he looked dull, he spoke appropriately, so he let him join the Xiao family to do things. Later, he found out that he was honest and serious, so he asked him to follow his eldest son and become a servant.

It has been a long time since Changsheng was Xiao Chen's servant, so Chu Chuan is also familiar with him.

"Zi Yang, sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Chu Chuan also knew that it was wrong, so he apologized early. Zi Yang was Xiao Chen's word.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't know what kind of temperament you are. Even if the sky falls, you will not be too slow. Let's go quickly. If the immortal master waits, it will be rude." Although Xiao Chen's tone was a little resentful, as a young man, he naturally would not really blame him.

The three of them headed towards the county government.

However, it was obvious that Xiao Chen had his own worries, so he was a little dull along the way. As a servant, Changsheng, his young master didn't speak, so he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to speak. Chu Chuan was not a talkative person, and he knew what Xiao Chen was thinking, so he was a little nervous, so he didn't care about talking.

Today is the day when the immortal master comes to Linyou County to select Taoist seeds. This is a triennial event of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Every three years, the Great Chu Dynasty would send immortal masters to various cities and counties to test the roots and bones of children aged seven to ten under their jurisdiction. If they were found to have spiritual roots, they would be sent to the Fucheng Daozangtang to practice and become one of the practitioners.

This is a step forward for ordinary people.

But for people like Xiao Chen and Chu Chuan, this is just the starting point, and the real test will be three years later.

After practicing in Daocang Hall for three years, the major immortal sects will send people to select people who practice well in Daocang Hall. This is the real test. Only one or two people can get into the eyes of the major immortal sects. For Chu Chuan and Xiao Chen, after taking this step, they will truly become cultivators.

And this is where Chu Chuan and Xiao Chen are really nervous.

Otherwise, it goes without saying that Xiao Chen's family background was once a powerful man of the Earth Immortal level, and now all the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage served as elders in the Cangyun Sect. His family background is not only the best in Linyou County, but also in the entire Shaanxi Road.

Although Chu Chuan's family background is far inferior to Xiao Chen, his ancestors had cultivators from the Jindan stage, and now there are also ancestors from the Foundation Establishment stage in the Immortal Sect. Even Chu Chuan's father and second uncle also have spiritual roots, but their overall qualifications are not good, so they were not selected into the Immortal Sect three years after entering the Daocang Hall.
