Chapter 319 Volume C: I am walking alone (please vote for the update!)
"Congratulations, uncle." Chen Huaisheng looked at Wu Tianen, who had a warm complexion and seemed to have darkened even his graying temples. Heartfelt congratulations.
Wu Tianen had a smile on his lips. Even though he rarely smiled, he still couldn't help but be filled with joy when there was a happy event and his most admired and closest "disciple" came to congratulate him.
Chen Huaisheng can no longer be regarded as his disciple, but should be the direct disciple of the head senior brother.
But Wu Tianen knew that the head master had too many brothers and was busy with general affairs. In fact, he did not have much affection for these disciples to teach them. It was more about selecting outstanding disciples from among them. Granting this status allows them to obtain more resources and improve their realm faster.
So in a sense, these disciples of Shang Jiuling are more of the direct disciples of the sect leader, and they can be regarded as the core disciples trained for the entire sect.
Of course, this does not mean that Shang Jiuling has no kindness to these disciples.
He also mentored these disciples, but they were not as close as other masters and disciples, and the emotions were not as deep.
From Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng, Liu Chun, and Yao Liwei to Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Tong Tong, a group of disciples may be recruited in the next step.
If you do some math, you will understand that Shang Jiuling cannot have so much energy to teach Taoism.
What's more, he himself also needs to continue to advance in the realm of Zifu. He needs to focus more on his own cultivation, both in public and private matters.
On the contrary, after people like Zhu Fengbi, You Shaoyou, Xu Muyang, and even Wang Yao and Zhao Sitian accepted disciples, they were able to devote more energy to teaching disciples and passing on their skills.
Wu Tianen also knew that Chen Huaisheng was a grateful person. He introduced him to him, and he has always been very close to him, whether it was Guo Chongdao's deliberate kindness when he was in Chuan Gong Academy, or his later acceptance by Li Yu as his successor. None of his direct disciples could change this situation, which made Wu Tianen very happy.
It’s not that I really hope that the other person will get close to me, but I feel that I didn’t choose the wrong person.
He was very proud of his vision. You must know that Qiao Zhun looked down on Chen Huaisheng at the beginning, but he chose Chen Huaisheng against all the opinions. Now it seems that no matter whether it is for him , or for the sect, Chen Huaisheng was an extremely correct choice.
"Haha, it's worth being happy, but Huaisheng, don't praise it too much. I have been building foundation for more than five years. Now I have broken through and advanced to the second level of foundation building. It is already very slow. Look at you, maybe wait a little longer. In a few years, you will surpass me. How old are you and I am already eighty-eight?”
Although Wu Tianen was happy, he still couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in his words.
I was already sixty when I was refining the seventh level of Qi, and now this person is already at the seventh level. How many years is there before he reaches the second level of foundation building?
I really can’t tell, maybe five years, maybe ten years?
"Master, why should you be so modest? Five years to build the second level of the foundation is very fast. Although the disciple has been faster in the past few years, there are also various opportunities and luck. This promotion to Qi Refining It’s not that simple after reaching high level. Disciples now feel the difference..."
Chen Huaisheng's words made Wu Tianen shake his head: "Huaisheng You said that I shouldn't be humble, and you shouldn't belittle yourself. The last time you retreated for half a year, you failed to break through the seventh level of Qi refining. I thought you had really encountered a bottleneck, but I didn't expect it. You went out and practiced and you broke through the most critical step in this Qi refining stage. I believe that whether it was Zhao Sitian or Yao Liwei when they were at the sixth level of Qi refining, it would be difficult for them to do what you are doing now."< br>
Wu Tianen’s words made it difficult for Chen Huaisheng to explain.
The reality is like this. I have indeed broken through the high level of Qi refining that many people have been unable to reach even after exhausting their whole lives. However, it is difficult for people to believe and accept it at this age. If I say more, I will appear hypocritical. .
"Uncle, my disciple is indeed..."
"Okay, no need to say more, this is a gratifying thing." Wu Tianen waved his hands, his eyes full of emotion and appreciation. , "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip. Advancing to the high level of Qi Refining is a completely different stage. You have to think carefully about your plans for the next few years, uh, even prepare for foundation building."
Chen Huaisheng was taken aback and said quickly: "Uncle, this disciple is only at the seventh level of Qi refining. He is still far away from establishing the foundation. It will be at least eight or ten years later..."
Wu Tianen shook his head: "The outside world seems to think that there are still several steps to go from the seventh level of Qi refining to foundation building, but this is a superficial phenomenon. Some people may have difficulty making progress after breaking through the seventh level of Qi refining, but some people may be unstoppable. The eighth level and the ninth level all went smoothly, just like when you went from the second level to the fourth level of Qi Refining, didn't you also rush all the way in seclusion? "
Chen Huaisheng was stunned? Startled.
He knew that his one-and-a-half-year retreat to break through the second level had become a legend within the sect, and its impact was so great that he was somewhat mythologized.
Breaking the second level in one retreat, has this happened to other sects?
Maybe, maybe not, but it has never happened in the Chonghua Sect. He is the founder of history. He has already been written into the sect's memorandum and will be recorded forever.
It was also because of his performance that Li Yu was included as a direct disciple of the headmaster, otherwise it would have been impossible given his age and time of entry.
"Uncle, that was the first stage of qi training, but now it is a high level, and the disciple is not so arrogant..." Chen Huaisheng said subconsciously. "No, it's not the same. It may not even be as good as your last retreat..." Wu Tianen shook his head disapprovingly: "The last time you broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, you didn't even use the Yancao Pill. You know that But in the middle of the first stage, you still jumped over it. Now you have reached the seventh level. I think it will be difficult to hinder you in the subsequent eight and nine levels. At most, it is just a matter of time and accumulation. Breaking through is not a problem,..."
"Master uncle means that maybe what the disciple needs to consider most in the next few years is the peak, or the leap from the peak to foundation building?"
Chen Huaisheng asked the key question.
Wu Tianen stroked his beard hesitantly and remained silent for a long time. Finally he got up and walked around the hall before slowly saying: "Many geniuses often get stuck in the most unexpected places, like the ninth level of Qi Refining to the Refining For many people, reaching the peak of Qi is a process of accumulation. With qualifications like mine, that is, it only takes one and a half years, and I can pass it by mediocrely. When I reach the peak, it takes me ten years to build the foundation, but it is as if I have more qualifications than me. Much better, Senior Brother Li Yu, how many years did it take to go from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, seven years! For seven years, Senior Brother Li Yu almost collapsed, but he still couldn't find that state... ..."
Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide in disbelief.
The person who is in charge of the hospital has actually been stuck in the ninth level of Qi training for seven years, reaching the peak of Qi refining?
In many people’s minds, even a single difference does not count, it is just a difference in the feeling of a state.
For example, Yu Fengqian herself said that it only took a few months for him to build the foundation at the ninth level, and even she didn't have much impression or feeling.
“Why, you can’t believe it?” Wu Tianen smiled, “This is the fact. Even the head brother spent five years in the ninth level of Qi refining to reach the peak of Qi refining, but Senior Brother Li Yu was promoted to the rank of Qi refining. After reaching the peak of Qi, it only took two and a half years to successfully build the foundation, and it only took three years for the head senior brother,..."
Chen Huaisheng thought thoughtfully: "Senior Brother Wang Yao used it It took six years to successfully build the foundation, but it only took him three years to reach the peak of Qi refining from the ninth level of Qi refining,..."
It seems that this is a balance, there is a slight gap between geniuses and non-geniuses, but it is not Will it be stretched too far?
Is that so?
But for Yu Fengqian, it takes half a year to reach the peak of Qi refining from the ninth level of Qi refining, and less than half a year to reach the peak of Qi refining to build the foundation. So what can I say?
Super genius?
“What I want to say is that maybe moving from the seventh level to the ninth level of Qi Refining will not be a hindrance to you. Maybe once every one or two years, maybe even once a year, but from the ninth level to the ninth level of Qi Refining Maybe it will be different at the peak of Qi, maybe not, I can't tell." Wu Tianen smiled, "I guess even the head brother probably doesn't know how you should find your own path now. So I won’t give you direct advice, but rather let you follow your own feelings..."
Chen Huaisheng nodded silently.
With my current state and progress, I’m afraid it’s really hard to give guidance.
It is said that the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual. But from the beginning, the sect has provided you with some options for you to choose on your own without giving too much rigid guidance, so you can improve and grow at will. Bar.
But this method may not be suitable for other people, maybe it is just me who is a cheater.
"That disciple..." Chen Huaisheng was a little confused.
“Go your own way, and you don’t need to care about other people’s opinions, whether it’s Senior Brother Zhu, Senior Brother You, Tianfeng or Sitian.” Wu Tianen waved his hand, “You can listen, but you have to make your own decisions, including You have chosen a few disciples in the Chuan Gong Academy to try to learn and give guidance. As long as it is beneficial to you and beneficial to them, you can try it..."
It seems that you are recruiting "small groups" and winning over "small groups". The "circle" thing still makes many people dissatisfied, but Chen Huaisheng doesn't care.
I can't help everyone, so naturally I can only choose people close to me to help.
I don’t want to accept a disciple, so it’s up to me which method to choose.
As the direct disciple of the sect leader, I also have this privilege.
As for criticism and doubt within the sect, no matter what you do, you will always have this kind of criticism and doubt. This kind of criticism and doubt has been with you since you started. The earliest Qiao Zhun, later Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong, and then Later, there were more, but I didn’t need to care anymore.
There is nothing better than using performance to conquer and slap someone in the face.
