Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16296

Chapter 16294 Test

Lu Yong looked at the door to the cave. In front of the door was a platform about one meter square. He landed directly on the platform and looked at the door. The door was made of wood and looked very ordinary, but it shimmered with a faint light. Lu Yong took out his identity jade token and placed it on the door. The light on the door disappeared the next moment, and he pushed the door open and went inside.

Upon entering the room, Lu Yong was stunned. He had thought this room would be a small one, but he was wrong. The room was actually quite nice. Right inside was a living room with a wooden sofa and coffee table. Although not large, it was sufficient.

There was a door on each side. Lu Yong glanced at the door on the left; it led to a bedroom. The other door led to a meditation room. There were only three rooms, but it was quite good and sufficient. This was better than Lu Yong had imagined, even better than most rooms he had stayed in before. He was a rogue cultivator, and before, having a place to live was already a blessing.

After inspecting the room, Lu Yong went to the living room. There, on the coffee table in the center, sat a spatial bag. He remembered the sect disciple mentioning that he would receive perks in his room.

Lu Yong picked up the bag and used his spiritual power to examine it. He found a hundred crystals and several jade slips inside. He glanced at one of the jade slips and found it contained sect rules. He read it and found nothing he found unacceptable. The rules didn’t stipulate that they had to worship any particular deity, so he was relieved.

Lu Yong then picked up the other jade slips and found they contained several uncommon but very useful spells. Lu Yong didn’t know these spells, and he immediately became excited. After all, joining the sect and receiving these good things was fantastic!

Lu Yong didn’t plan to go out. He knew the people in the sect must be very busy these days, and they had told him they would be testing his talent in a few days, so he shouldn’t leave.

He was old enough to be a child, long past his rebellious phase, and he wouldn’t do anything the sect forbade him to do.

Lu Yong decided to spend the next few days in his room diligently studying those techniques, waiting for the sect’s notification.

This study lasted three days. For cultivators like Lu Yong, a few days was nothing; sometimes they needed a long time for seclusion, so three days was really nothing.

That day, after finishing his cultivation, Lu Yong sat down in the living room, but his expression was not good. He had noticed during his cultivation these past few days that his strength hadn’t increased at all; on the contrary, it had begun to slowly decline. This was the situation Lu Yong least wanted to see, but it had happened, and he was completely helpless.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, “Everyone, come out and assemble!” Lu Yong quickly went out of his room. He looked around and saw a cultivator standing in the cave where they were, while everyone else from the other rooms also came out.

The cultivator standing in the middle of the cave glanced at Lu Yong and the others, then said, “Everyone, come here for a test. This test will assess your talents to see if they match what you originally knew.” He paused, then continued, “Starting from Level A, proceed in order.” Everyone responded, and a cultivator flew towards the one conducting the test. Once the cultivator reached the tester, the tester immediately produced a magic array. A red light then emerged from the array, and that red light… The examiner glanced at the cultivator and said, “Dual attributes of Water and Wood, good talent, next.”

The cultivator was taken aback, his expression changing. He immediately asked, “I really have dual attributes of Water and Wood? Why did I only get Wood attribute in my previous tests?” The examiner looked at him

and said, “That’s because your previous test was inaccurate. Your strongest talent is Water. Go, in a while, the Divine Church will help you adjust your cultivation method.” The cultivator nodded and turned to leave with a hint of anticipation.

Lu Yong also overheard their conversation and was surprised. He hadn’t expected that someone would actually misjudge their talent.

Then, others went to be tested one by one, and many found that their talents were all wrong. Their initial assumptions were completely incorrect, which made everyone’s expressions quite unpleasant.

To understand their talents, we must know that when they were young, various sects or the divine kingdom sent people to conduct unified tests on them, yet so many errors occurred. This can only prove that their talents were misjudged when they were young.

If only one or two people made a mistake, it would be one thing; it could be attributed to negligence on the part of the person testing them. But for so many people to all get it wrong is suspicious. It suggests that the other party did it intentionally, and that’s the most frightening thing.

If the person testing them did it on purpose, why would they do that? Was it because they didn’t want to train them, or was someone deliberately suppressing them? Either way, it’s not a good thing.

Lu Yong’s expression was also very grim. Although he hadn’t been tested yet, Lu Yong felt that his talent might have been misjudged as well. He had also noticed that in recent years, various sects, aristocratic families, and even the Divine Kingdom had been recruiting fewer and fewer people from the common people. He used to think it was because these people lacked talent, but now it seemed that there might be more to the story. It was possible that someone was deliberately unwilling to train them, or that someone was deliberately blocking their path to advancement.

Soon it was Lu Yong’s turn. When the red light swept over him, he felt nothing. Then he heard the disciple conducting the test say, “Fire, Wood, and Earth attribute talent, not bad.”

In the cultivation world, attributes are also ranked. Many people have a misconception that a cultivator’s attribute means they only possess that attribute. This isn’t true. Everyone possesses five elements, and the “attribute” referred to here means that one of their attributes is higher. What cultivators seek is this exceptionally high attribute, known as a spiritual root. They aim to strengthen this spiritual root to support their cultivation.

Why is one attribute so high in a person’s body? This is a talent. Why is this talent called a spiritual root? Because a high attribute allows for easier absorption of external energy. For example, a high fire attribute talent makes it easier to sense external fire-attribute spiritual energy, thus facilitating cultivation. This is what’s called a spiritual root.

Of course, it’s not true that having a single spiritual root is the best. Spiritual roots vary in strength. If someone has strong spiritual roots of all attributes, that person actually has the best talent, because they can sense all the spiritual energy in the world, making cultivation easier. They can even cultivate multiple techniques simultaneously, and their cultivation time will be longer than others. Such a person’s achievements are actually greater. Therefore, the higher the strength and the more numerous the spiritual roots, the better the talent.

Lu Yong clearly remembered that when he was young, the person who tested him said he had an earth-attribute spiritual root, a single spiritual root, and that its strength wasn’t enough, so he wasn’t chosen by the Divine Kingdom. Now, the person testing him was telling him he had three spiritual roots, and his strongest spiritual root was actually fire, followed by wood, with earth being the weakest. This meant that the person testing him had concealed his true talent, effectively cutting off his path to cultivation.

People like Lu Yong have very limited access to cultivation resources, especially cultivation techniques, which are extremely rare. Lu Yong had always cultivated earth-attribute techniques. Even after becoming a rogue cultivator and no longer practicing basic earth-attribute techniques, he still practiced earth-attribute techniques. Now he realized that his talent actually encompassed fire, wood, and earth attributes, with fire being his strongest talent. This meant he had chosen the wrong cultivation method from the very beginning.

Lu Yong’s eyes were red. Although he only learned the truth today, it was too late. He was too old; even if he changed his cultivation method now, it was too late. A mix of emotions welled up inside Lu Yong, ultimately culminating in a deep sigh. Lu Yong

returned to his room and stood quietly, his face utterly calm. He knew it was all too late; nothing he said now was enough. He was too old; even if he changed his cultivation method, nothing could change anything. His life was over.

Did he hate it? Of course he hated it. If the person who tested him hadn’t lied to him and had instead told him about his true talent, perhaps his life would be completely different now. But he missed that opportunity, and only now, at this age when all hope seemed lost, did he discover his true talent. It was a pity, but it was all too late.

Thinking of this, Lu Yong sighed again. He glanced at the people being tested below. Some were still young; they still had a chance. But what about him? He had lost his chance forever.

Everyone quickly finished their tests. The person in charge of the tests looked at them and then said, “In a few days, the sect will give you all new cultivation methods. These methods will be perfectly suited to you. I hope you will practice diligently from now on.”

Everyone responded. Lu Yong also responded, but he knew very well that even if he changed his cultivation method, there wouldn’t be much change. He had long since lost his chance.
