Xu Zongyi had already arrived at the Soulshake Forest, but from the looks of it, he seemed to have obtained nothing.

"…" Xu Xindie also knew that not everyone would be able to obtain good fortune, their luck was also very important, there were indeed people who passed the test, and in the end, didn't get anything because their luck was too bad. She took out a seed, and said in high spirits: "I have obtained an ancient mysterious seed, if in the future any great treasures grow out of it, you can have a share."

No matter what, he had already obtained first place, and the reward of the《 Water Melting Ceremony》 was more important than anything else.

The Water Melting Ceremony was equivalent to one of the foundations of the farmhouse's Xu family compound. Even in the other four courtyards, countless people still rushed to join in.

It was just that the division of labor in each courtyard was different, and their methods were never spread out. As a result, no one was able to obtain them.

"A strange ancient species?" Xu Zongyi suddenly remembered that he had read the essays of some of the village's ancestors of the Xu family. His heart thumped wildly, but he still wanted to confirm: "Is it very powerful?"

In ancient times, powerful existences would pay a huge price to preserve their own lives, or to preserve an object, or to leave behind some tricks. They would transform it into an ancient seed, and if the later generations were lucky enough to acquire it, their good fortune would be astonishing. Xu Xindie was very excited, "So don't be discouraged. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this ancient seed. I'll have your share in the future!"

"What can you plant?" Xu Zongyi was extremely excited as he hurriedly asked because he too had an ancient seed within him.

There are many records that a world shocking battle weapon could grow, a rare ancient beast with a bloodline, an invincible Monarch sleeping in his sleep, a heavenly maiden who could shake the masses, a powerful plant, or a shocking ancient technique." There are many records that a world shocking war weapon could grow, an ancient beast sleeping in his bloodline, a invincible Monarch sleeping in his sleep, a heavenly maiden who could shake the masses, a powerful plant, or a shocking ancient technique. Xu Xindie was still relatively optimistic. She did not think badly about it and just laughed.

"It's because my luck is so bad that I can't even laugh. For example, me." Xu Zongyi was splashed with a bucket of cold water. Although he also had a seed, it was already shriveled and withered. It was most likely dead. His originally somewhat recovered state of mind immediately fell to the bottom.

"Be happier. In any case, I'll protect you from now on. Just come and find me if you have anything to say!" Xu Xindie comforted him.

"Thank you, Miss Xindie." Xu Zongyi let out a soft sigh, and his mood quickly calmed down because he had already achieved his main goal in traveling to the Great Earth Hall, which was to let him pass the trial. Even though he had not obtained any great treasures, he still had Xu Xindie, this friend of his, who protected him with everything she had.

"Brother Righteous, what about you?" "Any gains?" Xu Zongyi restrained his emotions and looked to the side with some curiosity.

"I'm the same as Miss Xin Die." Xu Zhengdao smiled, obviously in a good mood.

"…" The corners of Xu Zongyi's mouth twitched. When he thought of his good fortune, he felt somewhat disappointed. However, no matter how he obtained first place, at least he still had the 'Water Melting Ceremony'. His mood improved a little when he thought of this.

"Let's go." Let's go. Xu Xindie smiled. This time, she was in an extremely good mood.

Outside the Great Earth Hall.

Many people were anxiously waiting for Xu Xindie to come out.

Xu Tiancheng and Xu Tianmu slightly frowned. They felt that they had been inside for a long time.

Xu Linde had nothing better to do. When he thought of Xu Zongyi, he couldn't help but hold back his anger. He looked at Xiao E and the rest and said, "You're all people from the Ri family courtyard, right?"

"So what?" Xiao E looked at him with fear in her heart, but she didn't dare to panic in the slightest.

She was worried that Xu Zongyi would be in danger.

However, her own words would not shrink back.

"You should know that we can pick you as slaves at will. Since you guys like to stand up for that kid, then you can all be my servants." The corners of Xu Duan De's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Impossible." Xiao E rejected him immediately.

"What a joke. Later on, I'll send some food to the day courtyard. Those deacons will agree. I want to see what that kid can do to me." Xu Duan De was extremely arrogant. He wanted to make Xu Zongyi uncomfortable so that he could see those who supported him become his servants and servants.

Xiao E's face turned as white as paper when she heard this. Indeed, they didn't have the qualifications to resist with their identities. "Don't go too far!"

"I am bullying you, so what can you do about it?" Xu Duan De had an arrogant attitude.

At this moment, Xu Xindie and Xu Zhengdao brought him out from within. Both of them held an ancient seed in their hands, but Xu Zongyi's hands were empty.

"Heart Butterfly, you actually obtained a strange seed!" Xu Tianyun was pleasantly surprised. Xu Tianmu, who was at the side, slightly frowned. It seemed that Xu Zhengdao was not bad either.

"As expected of Miss Xindie, the good fortune she has is already so extraordinary."

"Xu Zhengdao also obtained a strange seed!"

"Too awesome!"

"It seems like that Xu Zongyi doesn't have anything else."

"Xu Zhengdao also obtained a strange ancient seed. He was ranked first alongside Miss Xin Die."

"Young Master Tianmu is ranked second."

"Young Master Tianyun is ranked third!"

Listening to these people's comments, Xiao E felt her heart go cold, but this was within her expectations. His opponent was too strong, and to be able to stand out like this was already a pretty good result.

He was also the center of attention for many people. Xu Duan De saw that Xu Zongyi's hands were empty and laughed loudly, then looked at Xiao E and the rest: "After all, you're a lowly person with mixed bloodlines. How could you possibly obtain the inheritance of my ancestor? Do you see that? Your Xu Zongyi is just like a dog that follows Miss Heartbutterfly closely, but he still doesn't get anything. As descendants of sinners, you all still want to be her partners?

"What did you say?" Xu Zongyi looked at Xu Duan De with a very cold gaze.

"I say, from today onwards, these people will be my servants. Do you hear me clearly?" Xu Duan De's eyes were wide open. He was extremely arrogant.

Xu Zongyi clenched his fists tightly. Indeed, the other four courtyards did have the authority to pick out the lowest class of servants in the courtyard. Naturally, they had to hand over a portion of grain in exchange for their servants. It was evident that it wasn't a difficult task for Xu Duan De.

He took out a bag of food from his body and said proudly, "Do you know what is inside? Buying ten catties of Purple grade Body Strengthening Rice for each of these servants will result in your deacon agreeing. I'm afraid that you've never eaten Purple grade Body Strengthening Rice in your entire life, right? Oh, I'm afraid I haven't even seen it before! "

Xu Zongyi sucked in a deep breath. Indeed, he had lived in the Sun Courtyard ever since he was a child. For him, things like the Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice, which was needed to lay the foundation for his cultivation, were something he couldn't even reach.

"Haha, now do you understand the difference between you and me? If I hadn't been careless just now, I would have definitely beaten you into a dead dog, so what if you were with Miss Xin Die? No placings, nothing. " Seeing that he was silent, Xu Duan De became even more arrogant, and his tone was filled with pride.

Although it was not a magic item used in battle, when planting, it was still extremely useful to prune the vegetation without harming it. Other people would more or less be able to obtain some of the items left behind by the ancestor of the Xu family, even some of the daily necessities.

"It seems that it's useless even with Miss Heartbutterfly's help. I can't do it myself."

"Exactly, this little good-for-nothing still wants to eat swan meat. Why don't you see how much you're worth?"

He could only endure the ridicule and ridicule from countless children towards Xu Zongyi. After all, he did not receive any conspicuous treasures, so it was not worth mentioning.

Xu Xindie was an admirer of many of her peers, and Xu Zongyi, a mere servant, was actually able to obtain her protection. This was more than enough to cause jealousy in many people.

"All of you, shut up. From today onwards, Xu Zongyi is my brother. Xu Duan De, if your mouth is full of feces, be careful that I don't turn you into a pig head. Even Xu Tianyi won't be able to protect you." Xu Zhengdao was proud and aloof, taciturn and taciturn, but every syllable of his speech was as cold as the winter's frost.

Hearing this, Xu Tianyi's expression couldn't help but change. Indeed, he was not very confident when facing Xu Zhengdao. Xu Duan De looked like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost and instantly withered, not even daring to let out a fart.

For some reason, Xu Zhengdao, who had always ignored everyone, suddenly stood up for him.

It was at this moment that the farmhouse's Great Elder Xu Zhiyan walked out and said loudly, "In this trial, Xu Zongyi is the number one. From today onwards, he will enter the Scripture Hall."

"What!" These words shocked all of the children of the same age group.

Xu Linde felt as if he was slapped in the face, his face turning purple. He froze on the spot, unable to move. Could it be that he misheard?

Xu Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly. If it wasn't for Xu Zongyi's bad luck, he might have been able to obtain such extraordinary good fortune.

Xu Tianmu lowered his head in thought. Did he really not get anything?

In the dark, the face of the village's patriarch, Xu Chongmu, was extremely unsightly. He had never thought that this would be the result.

At that time, the one who had personally condemned Xu Zhongshu's father, Xu Zhongmu, would never, no matter what, forget the memory of this child.

The storm that year was not small for the farmers who had been hidden from view for many years.

And now, his son had actually lost to the sinner blood in the trial of the Great Earth Hall. Naturally, his mood wouldn't be very good.

"How is this possible, he actually got first place in the exam, could it not be Miss Xin Die and Xu Zhengdao?"

"How could he possibly get first place!"

"He's clearly just a servant of a day's work."

"That's great, Zong Yi actually obtained first place." Her eyes were slightly red, so he wouldn't have to suffer.

The female servants from the Day Courtyard could only feel proud and scoffed at Xu Duan De.

Amongst the farmhouse's five courtyards, the Sun Dynasty was the one that could not even lift its head. Some of the boys did not even want to cheer for Xu Zongyi because they felt that they could not afford to lose face and would only be ridiculed and ridiculed if they came to Great Earth Hall.

The reason these girls came was also because they felt grateful in their hearts. They would normally receive Xu Zongyi's unrestrained help.

Xiao E was someone similar to Big Sis as well. She usually treated them extremely well, so she came over.

They were already prepared to be humiliated and felt that the final result would be a depressing one.

However, Xu Zongyi actually took first place. This was something they didn't even dare to think about.

Many other children in the other four courtyards could not accept this fact.

When Xu Zongyi heard that he was going to be transferred to the Scripture Hall, his entire body felt like it was on the verge of boiling, and all the unhappiness in his heart was swept away.

The Scripture Hall was a place where all the books acquired by the previous generations of farmers and the Xu family were placed. If he could enter this place, he would be able to read books every day, and in broad daylight.

It made him happier than getting any treasure.

"Go back and pack up. We'll report to the Scripture Hall tomorrow." Xu Zhiyan was like a kind elder with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Grand Elder." Xu Zongyi's mood turned cold, and even though he did not receive the inheritance, this result wasn't bad either.

The Scripture Hall recorded the experiences and inheritances of the previous generations of the farmers and the Xu family, as well as the various supreme scriptures and techniques. If one wanted to cultivate them, these were the basics.

If one wanted to step into the Qi Drawing Realm, one would need a cultivation scripture. The higher one's level was, the more solid one's foundation was. The further one's path was, the harder it was to cultivate.

"Congratulations, the Scripture Hall is a place many people want to enter but cannot enter. In the future, you must work hard and your achievements will not fall below the level of the righteous path." Xu Xindie was happy for him.

"Miss Xindie, I have a presumptuous request." "If I go to the Scripture Hall, no one will take care of elder sister Xiao E, especially since Xu Duan De has set his eyes on them. I think you should be able to accept them as your subordinates and help you take care of some flowers and plants. After the 'Water Melting Ceremony' has passed, I'll send them to the Spring Festival, okay?"

Xu Xindie looked at her servants. They were different from everyone else in that they knew how to be grateful, and when Xu Zongyi was so lowly, they could stand here and be ridiculed. Even if their lives were as lowly as grass and they couldn't even lift their heads, they still stood there to support him.

These girls' characters were bound to be no problem, not to mention that Xu Zongyi had helped her cross the sea of Bones and Breath, and was even willing to give her the 'Water Melting Ceremony'. This was something that couldn't be traded for even rice and foodstuffs, so supporting these people was simply nothing.

"Great!" In the day courtyard, there were countless people who dreamed of being Xu Xindie's maid. This was because she treated people with kindness and was very concerned about them. She was no different from any other person.

If they were to become Xu Duan De's servants, it would be hard for them to imagine what would happen to them.

Xiao E looked at Xu Zongyi, her emotions mixed, as she didn't know what to say.

Xu Duan De had an ugly expression and didn't dare to say anything. Since Xu Xindie had spoken, it was Xu Tianyi that Xu Tianyi had to hand over to her. He couldn't afford to offend her.

"Zong Yi, from today onwards, we are brothers. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, come find me at the Winter Court. No matter who it is, I will definitely beat their head into a pig's head." Xu Zhengdao patted Xu Zongyi on the shoulder, his every word ringing like thunder for everyone to hear.

"Alright, thank you, righteous dao brother!" He could tell that Xu Zhengdao was someone who had repaid kindness, avenged enmity, and clearly identified love and hate.

Xu Tianyi took first place, Xu Xindie, and Xu Zhengdao as second. Xu Tianmu used some methods to push himself even further, and as he came third, Xu Tianyi was directly pushed out of the top three. This made Xu Tianyi feel extremely humiliated and felt extremely resentful: "Xu Zongyi, watch this for me."

"Let's go. Let's return to the day courtyard first." Xu Zongyi ignored the gazes of the others.

Xu Duan De's expression was extremely ugly, as if he had been fiercely slapped a few times. He howled in a low voice: "This little bastard, I'll definitely kill him."

Xu Tianyi felt extremely uncomfortable. This was the first time in his life that someone had made him feel so uncomfortable.

However, now that Xu Zongyi had been transferred to the Scripture Hall, it would not be so easy for him to make a move against him. He could only find an opportunity in the future.

Xu Zongyi did not know that he was being watched.

He was only a servant from the Sun Dynasty, yet he was able to take first place in the Great Hall. It was truly inconceivable.

Almost all the news had been sent back to the courtyard.

Those who had thought that Xu Zongyi would never get a good result were all staring with their mouths agape.

The girls who went to cheer him on were all taken in as subordinates by Miss Xu Xindie.

This made many people green with regret. If they had known earlier, they would have supported him. Unfortunately, they didn't know earlier.

Xu Zongyi walked straight to the main hall of the Main Hall where the Disciplinary Committee was located and stepped inside.

The old man sat at the head of the table, his eyes cast him a sidelong glance.

"I got first place. I have to go to the Scripture Hall tomorrow." Xu Zongyi said each word as he looked at the old man. There was no trace of arrogance or complacency in his gaze, only calmness. This was because the path of cultivation had yet to begin. He knew that he was still far off.

"The 'Water Melting Ceremony' is on the table. Take it and leave." The old man's tone was impatient.

"You said that as long as I can obtain the top three, I'll be given the 'Water Melting Ceremony'. But now that I've obtained first place, don't you think there's anything else you can say?" Xu Zongyi was not afraid of tigers and wanted to negotiate terms with the sect.

"Oh? Interesting, what do you want me to say? "How dare you bargain with me." The old man stood up. He had his own might and might, and his hair was disheveled. His appearance could not even be clearly seen, and his pair of eyes were sinister and cold.

"I would like to ask, who are my parents? Why am I here? If you know what they did, tell me all about it. " Xu Zongyi's gaze was clear, and his eyes were like black gems. His voice was calm and steady.

He paused for a moment, then said: "Your father is called Xu Chen, and when he was young, he had an engagement with the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan's Saintess. Afterwards, he went out to train, and when the wedding day came, he did not come back and get married, as if he was trapped in a secret place, for some reason, the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan did not pursue this matter, and that Saintess also waited for him for a long time.

Xu Zongyi frowned slightly, feeling that this father of his whom he had never met was going a bit overboard. Someone who had been betrothed to him for hundreds of years, who would wait for his return, who would then be betrothed to a woman from another clan, was the one who could not be affected the most by relationships between a man and a woman.

In the farmhouse of the Xu family, only by being acknowledged by the elders of the family and being formally married off could the children they gave birth to be accepted into the family tree and enter the ancestral shrine.

For people like Xu Zongyi, he could only be considered an illegitimate child and it was natural for him to be treated as an illegitimate child. Unless he grew stronger based on his own abilities, he wouldn't be able to enter the family tree.

"What about my mother? To die or to live? " Xu Zongyi hurriedly asked.

"I don't know about that, but according to the rumors, your mother race is also a very powerful ancient clan. I don't know which clan it is exactly, but after she was captured and suppressed, your father was chased by both your mother race and the chaotic battle Phoenix race." The old man was clear and concise. He did not say much unnecessary words, "I've said everything that needs to be said. What else do you want to ask?"

"Thank you very much." A storm was brewing in Xu Zongyi's heart, but he still saluted respectfully. Holding the 'Water Melting Ceremony' in his hand, he looked at the old man and said, "I would like to ask, how do I remove the 'sin' word on my face?"

"Unless you can become one of the best among your peers, or perform meritorious deeds for the Xu family, or the clan leader is merciful, we will naturally eliminate you." The Sect Leader sneered, giving off a horrifying feeling.

"Many thanks. I don't know why the Sect Leader was exiled to the sunyard, but I believe that you are a very capable person. If you are willing to put your heart into leading the sunyard, it will definitely restore its glory to the same level as the four courtyards." Xu Zongyi said his goodbyes and left.

Only the Sect Master remained standing there, silent for a moment, his eyes gradually turning bright. "Prime Minister Xu, you've been secretly nurturing him all these years. It looks like you've put quite a bit of effort into it. But this kid, can he be compared to that Xu Chen back then?"
