Chapter 175: Volume B Before departure, with the temple in mind
Jinyuntai.
He Zhuo and his party faced off against Peng Youshu.
Peng Youshu advanced to the second level of Qi Refining about half a year later than Zhao Wuyou and Hu Delu.
His spiritual roots are of earthy nature, and he values weight and stability. The broad-leaf giant sword in his hand is more than three times wider than an ordinary long sword, and its weight is ten times that of an ordinary magic sword.
Although he was promoted to the rank more than a year earlier than Zhuo Yixing, Peng Youshu did not dare to look down upon this young man who had risen astonishingly.
"Junior Brother Zhuo, please!"
"Senior Brother Peng, please."
After Zhuo Yi finished speaking, he made an empty stroke with an ordinary magical sword in his hand, and raised his hand. Pointing: "Senior Brother Peng, you are a senior brother, just take action..."
Peng Youshu took a deep breath. Since the other party wanted to pretend to be generous, he was no longer rigid.
There are only two places for the outer hall this time. He knows very well that if he wants to get ahead, he can't even think about it if he doesn't step over this guy. There are Hu Delu and Zhao Wuyou over there, so it will be even more difficult.
Heirran made a sound. Peng Youshu held the sword with both hands and pointed at his face. The earthy color air wave suddenly came out from the table. Before the air wave could rush out, Peng Youshu raised it horizontally and yanked it. The sword energy suddenly flipped, forming A huge cross shape, tearing up the air on the stage and directly attacking the opponent.
Zhuo Yixing's figure swayed, and the powerful sword energy passed by. The magic sword in his hand swung, and a sword force that was as sharp as a gossamer but as thin as a hairspring struck out from the tip of the sword almost without anyone noticing. .
“Be careful, Senior Brother Peng!”
As soon as the sword was released, Zhuo Yixing no longer held back, his body leaped up, and the magic sword struck out thirty-two swords in a row, that trace of gossamer The sharp sword energy quickly woven into a heavenly and earthly net, sweeping over with hissing screams.
Peng Youshu's expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect that the opponent's sharp gold sword energy was of such a high level. With a few moves, he could block all his dodge angles.
But Peng Youshu had the confidence to dare to go on stage. He took a deep breath and slashed wildly with his giant sword, just like a giant ax opening a mountain to open a path.
At the same time, Thick Earth's Chaos Body Protection Magic Power was activated, and he lunged forward fiercely, heading straight towards his opponent.
Zhuo Yixing seemed to have been prepared for Peng Youshu's tactics. He never planned to contend with the opponent for too long. There were competitors behind him, and he needed to fight quickly.
Clenched the left hand into a fist, first retracted it, then made a strange rotation and twist, and punched forward fiercely. A strong blue energy was generated in the eye of the fist, like a vortex that was impacting forward. Like a cyclone, it drives the surrounding airflow forward.
The gyro cloud is broken!
Just this blow hit the front of Peng Youshu who was running towards him, and broke through the chaotic magic power that Peng Youshu was creating while raising his energy. Then, a sharp golden sword energy was like a poisonous snake looking for its nest, stabbing straight. And enter.
The heart-wrenching blow made Peng Youshu scream. He could no longer hold the giant sword in his hand and fell on the table. The control monk used a simple Qi replenishment technique to help Peng Youshu relax. He was angry, and then stopped the contact between the two parties, indicating that Zhuo Yixing would win.
There are two moves in total, first is to lure the enemy, and then is to lure the enemy deep, killing with one blow.
"In this game, Zhuo and his team won. In the next game, Hu Delu will face Qin Zeju."
Chen Huaisheng is not very interested in Hu Delu playing against Qin Zeju.
If even Qin Zeju Hu Delu can't be solved, then he'd better not go to Bianjing to embarrass himself.
Chen Huaisheng is interested in the realm of magic shown by Zhuo Yixing.
Although he is only at the second level of Qi Refining and is so proficient in metal-type spells, the timing does not seem to be good, and he is defeating him head-on. Chen Huaisheng cannot understand what Zhuo Yixin wants to do in this way. To show your strength, you still have to use your lack of experience to cover up your strength.
Hu Delu neatly used the dual-attribute spell [Xuan Tu Wen Lei] to eliminate Qin Zeju, making Qin Zeju convinced that he had lost, but the envy and regret in his eyebrows could not be lingered. go.
The showdown between Zhao Wuyou and Sandeling did not have much suspense. Zhao Wuyou also had no attribute spiritual roots, but his flexible and unpredictable spells also made it difficult for Sandeling to resist, and he was quickly defeated.
The last three winners became Zhuo Yixing, Zhao Wuyou, and Hu Delu.
Chen Huaisheng can see that there is no doubt that Zhuo and his party are better among the three, and even the opponent still has some strength left. Although he is only at the second level of Qi Refining, Chen Huaisheng feels that even if he is right Except for Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong, this guy is not much inferior to the other third-level Qi refining people in the upper hall.
His golden spell is quite powerful and difficult for ordinary people to resist.
If Hu Delu wants to go to the Bianjing Taoist Association, he has to fight Zhao Wuyou.
But Zhao Wuyou's level is not bad either.
However, soon there was news from the Chuan Gong Academy. Zhuo Yixing, Zhao Wuyou and Hu Delu were all allowed to go to Bianjing, which was equivalent to an extra spot in the faction and there was no need to compete again. "The number of places in the inner hall and the middle hall has been reduced, so there is one more place for the outer hall." Yuan Wenbo also has his own information channel: "According to the Dao Palace, it encourages the younger generation of disciples to compete, so the faction also made some Adjustment, apart from Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Brother Zhao, there will only be one other person in the inner hall, and the three of us in the middle hall will be five people. Well, they are all required to be disciples under fifty."
I have to say that the structure of the disciples sent by Chonghua to Bianjing for the meeting is still different from other sects.
Like other sects where young disciples draw a line at fifty to select outstanding disciples, most of them will be at the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining, or even the seventh or eighth level.
But the Chonghua Sect is different. Xu Tianfeng is all in his fifties, except for Zhao Sitian, who is thirty-six, and the other disciple in the inner hall is also in his early sixties.
The disciples here in the middle hall are those under fifty years old and only have the fourth level of Qi refining. If they are at the fifth level of Qi refining and the sixth level of Qi refining are basically over fifty, like Yunhe and Luo Xiu Yue and Cai Jinyang are both over fifty.
This also means that the disciple structure of the Chonghua Sect is somewhat unhealthy. The outstanding disciples have failed to form a ladder structure, and there is a fault.
From the fifth level of Qi refining to the eighth level of Qi refining, there is a lack of young disciples. Young refers to disciples between thirty-five and fifty years old.
For those who are over fifty or even sixty or seventy years old and still lingering in the middle of Qi refining, their future achievements are obviously unlikely to be too high.
Among the five people in the middle hall, in addition to Chen and Yuan Tong, there are still two places.
Originally, Fang Baoqi could be counted as one, but she had been "traveling" outside and could not be contacted, so Cai Jinyang successfully entered.
The other one is Lu Wenshen who fought side by side with Chen Huaisheng in the battle of Tianzhai.
He spent more than a month recuperating after the injury, and Chen Huaisheng even went to visit him.
Later, the sect also took good care of him and gave him some spiritual materials and elixirs, so he recovered very quickly. He was also promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining in the middle of the year. He was younger than Cai Jinyang in terms of age. One or two years old.
Speaking of which, the Chonghua sect is really not that big. After going back and forth, Chen Huaisheng got to know most of the people who went to Bianjing to attend the Shangyuan Taoist meeting.
"It seems that each of these families is paying more and more attention to their future prospects. Just relying on some old people to support the scene does not feel like it is enough to reflect the strength of the sect."
Chen Huaisheng It was said with emotion, and it also resonated with Tong Tong.
“Originally, like some old people in the sect who eat nothing but corpses, their own strength has declined rapidly, and they are basically unable to contribute to the sect, but they still occupy various resources and have a bigger appetite than anyone else. , and even use their power to gain benefits for their own family members or relatives and friends. If this continues, how can our Chonghua Sect attract outstanding talents to join? "
Tong Tong's words made Chen Huai Both Sheng and Yuan Wenbo frowned, feeling that Tong Tongyan was referring to something.
"Junior Sister Tong's words are very targeted." Yuan Wenbo smiled, "Didn't our Chonghua Sect just reform some rules? The number of new disciples recruited every year has doubled, and they are no longer limited to our Langling Mansion. Even the surrounding counties are included..."
"The number of people has indeed increased, but is it too late? Without thirty to fifty years of accumulation, these new disciples will not be able to become talents, and new disciples will also need to come in. How can we meet the needs of more spiritual materials and elixirs?" Tong Tong was still confused: "Our Chonghua faction is still too conservative. Look at the performance of Longyanfang City..."
There are only three people, Tong. Tong Yanshuo didn't have so many scruples: "It stands to reason that Longyanfang City earns a lot of money every year, but how many resources has Zheng Zeyuan provided to the sect by controlling Longyanfang City for twenty years? Now that he is dead, his children and grandchildren are still relying on him. In Longyanfang City, you want all kinds of special treatment and are messy..."
Tong Tong’s origin. Yuan Wenbo and Chen Huaisheng both know that Tong Baichuan is the deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is closely related to Longyanfang City. Obviously Tong Tong should have learned some inside information from his uncle.
In fact, Chen Huaisheng also learned some information from Wu Tianen.
Zheng Zeyuan has not thought about making progress in the past twenty years. Not only has his cultivation deteriorated significantly, but he has also cooperated with outsiders in Longyanfang City to gain benefits for his family. However, because he was the one who strongly supported Shang Jiuling as the head of the family, Shang Jiuling was motivated by a reward mentality. He was asked to take charge of Longyanfang City, but he did not expect to end up in this situation.
Chen Huaisheng is not sure whether it is because the Chonghua Sect has extremely superior "land" and "financial" conditions but failed to make good use of them, so that the current Millennium Chonghua Sect is not as good as Baishimen and Lingyun Sect. However, the upstarts with a history of two to three hundred years will be coveted by foreign enemies if these two companies steal the limelight.
Tong Tong now said this in front of himself and Yuan Wenbo. Chen Huaisheng felt that Tong Tong did not have this wisdom. Maybe he had Tong Baichuan's instruction and deliberately said this in front of him and Yuan Wenbo, or it was Test, or let loose.
“Zheng Zeyuan is dead, and his children and grandchildren are nothing more than making a fuss.” Yuan Wenbo hesitated, “But there are still some old people in the faction who occupy a lot of resources. The deacons and elders should consider these specific issues. The Bianjing Taoist Association is actually an opportunity, forcing us to make changes in Chonghua."
Chen Huaisheng did not say anything.
We are starting to change now, is it still too late?
Like Deacon Ou Qingchun, Elder Yang Delong, and Elder Sun Yicheng who is now in charge of Longyanfang City, they all have vested interest groups, so how can they let go?
In fact, Sun Yicheng and Zheng Zeyuan are no different. Their strength has declined rapidly. At most, they are only one level of foundation building. Yang Delong is probably about the same. Ou Qingchun may be slightly better, but just look at the situation in Zhikeyuan. Not much better.
Coupled with the fact that the so-called high-level qi-refining Zhike in Zhike Yuan spend their days pampering themselves and living their lives leisurely, it is no wonder that the last time these people were sent out to pursue and fight, all of them were as fearful of the enemy as tigers. Poor performance.
Is it possible for such a Chonghua sect to go to Bianjing Shangyuan Taoist Association to prove it?
Chen Huaisheng's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
