Chapter 468: Ding Juanwu and Gaofeng must arrive
Everyone was shocked and envious of Chen Huaisheng's two-year retreat to break through the third level. They all wanted to understand how Chen Huaisheng did it. of this.
You must know that Chen Huaisheng has already experienced breaking the second level in a row.
In Huiyan Valley, he went straight from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one go, which made countless people look at him. Now he has gone a step further, directly from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
These disciples of the Yuanhe Sect, including Xuan Chimei, are extremely curious as to how Chen Huaisheng can advance in leaps and bounds over and over again. This is not in line with the common practice of practice. There are some situations, but they usually stagnate at a certain level for too long, and finally break through suddenly.
But Chen Huaisheng, who has never been promoted for more than two years, cannot be said to have accumulated a lot of experience. It is unheard of to build the fourth level of foundation after seven years of entry.
This is no longer something that can be explained by extraordinary talent, nor is it the reason why Chen Huaisheng practices diligently, but it should be the combination of many factors that make Chen Huaisheng such an almost mythical person. pioneering work.
The disciples of the Yuanhe Sect were treated with courtesy at first after entering the Chonghua Sect. After all, the Jiulian Sect collapsed. The Chonghua Sect had to show a warm welcome to the courtesy corporal, and also to the Yuhan Sect and the Ghost Sect. Later generations like Peng Zong had a better example.
However, after the disciples of Yuhan Sect and Guipeng Sect joined, and more and more disciples of other Jiulian Sect branches were affected by the affiliation of these three sects, more and more disciples came to Hebei , the number soared rapidly, and this situation changed.
Even excluding the three sects of Yuanhe, Yuhan and Guipeng, the number of disciples of several other sects of Jiulian quickly increased from a dozen or so at the beginning to dozens, and later to one There are more than a hundred people and close to two hundred people. To this day, there are still scattered disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect coming to Wolong Ridge to serve.
Most of these scattered disciples came to seek refuge because they had been casual cultivators for a period of time and felt that life was difficult. Some of them had stayed in those sects after being annexed and suffered exclusion and discrimination. I was having a good time there, so I kept coming to vote.
In the last six months of Chen Huaisheng's retreat, there was even a small climax. At one time, more than ten people came to join the retreat in a month.
However, times have changed, and when more and more disciples from the Nine Lotus Sect come to join us, the minds of the senior officials of the Chonghua Sect have changed.
Especially with more than 800 disciples, it already has the size of a large sect, and the economic pressure it brings is also huge.
Moreover, these disciples did not join in the early stages, but came later. Their loyalty is self-evident, and there are not many among them with particularly outstanding qualifications and talents.
From the perspective of the old Chonghua sect and even the original Ding family and Lingyun sect, it is not the best choice to recruit these disciples on a large scale.
But Haikou has been boasted for a long time. If we change the policy and refuse to accept it, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Chonghua Sect itself, and it will also chill the disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect who have already entered the Chonghua Sect, so This is impossible to do.
Especially because there are two characters, Linghu Zui and Du Guo, who represent the interests of the disciples of the Jiulian Sect. Even Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou and Li Yu have to worry about this and can only force themselves. The scalp continues to receive.
Of course, large-scale propaganda has long since disappeared. In addition, after entering a sect, you must carefully screen to prevent undercover agents sent in by other sects.
In short, as the number of disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect within the Chonghua Sect increases, the preferential treatment given to these Nine Lotus Sect disciples within the sect becomes less and less favorable, and then they become treated equally.
This contrast was felt most deeply in the hearts of the disciples of the Yuanhe Sect who were the first to join.
The Yuhan Sect still has Linghu Zui who can get ahead, but it is difficult to take care of other Jiulian Sect branches.
Du Guo has been in seclusion to recuperate before his injury heals, so it is difficult to comment. The disciples of Yuanhe Sect and other sects are still feeling quite lost.
This mentality and emotion is also reflected in disciples including Yu Xianxian, Xu Beihuai, Zhang Zhiruo and Wei Wuyang.
I think back then Chen Huaisheng relied on Xuan Chimei and Yi Chuyang's reputation to enter the Chonghua Sect through the back door. He was not qualified to join the Jiulian Sect at all, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
Unexpectedly, just seven years later, he has not only established the middle stage of the foundation, but also become a prominent figure in the Chonghua Sect. He is exclusive to the Dongfu Taoist Academy and has a vague leadership posture. However, his group is still refining Qi. Lingering in the middle.
And the sect’s monthly salary also made them feel stretched. Those from better-off families could still survive, while those from worse-off families found it even more difficult to survive.
But even disciples from well-off families like Wei Wuyang and Xu Beihuai were extremely envious of Chen Huaisheng. The middle stage of foundation building was so different from those of them who were still in the middle stage of Qi refining. It was simply a world of difference. Don't.
Is Chen Huaisheng’s qualifications and talents really so much better than theirs?
Even Xuan Chimei, a once-in-a-century prodigy, was thrown down a few positions. Is there no other reason for this?
Although the Chonghua faction has been bullied by Baishimen in the past few years, they have shown an unyielding attitude. Even though they were exiled to Hebei, they still showed the momentum of flourishing and swallowing mountains and rivers. Before, the Chonghua Sect did not even have a real person from the Zifu, but Shang Jiuling, Zhu Fengbi and even Li Yu ascended to the Zifu one after another within five years, and suddenly jumped from an unknown third-rate local sect to a first-tier sect approaching the status of a major sect. A rising star.
Three Purple Mansion in Five Years!
How difficult is it for Zi Mansion? !
Even for sects such as Tianyun Sect and Taihua Dao, it only takes ten or twenty years for a Zifu to appear. For example, their Yuanhe Sect only has two Zifus in one year. Moreover, there has not been a Zi Mansion in the past forty years.
Seeing that the oldest Zi Mansion has grown old and has no successors, it is almost always the case for Jiulian Sect, which is why its ranking in the Taoist Association drops rapidly, and it is coveted by others and eventually eaten away by others.
What belongs to the Chonghua faction? Isn't it just to have a brighter and more stable future, to have a more promising personal future?
For example, Wei Wuyang and Xu Beihuai's family backgrounds are not bad. If they go back to their hometown in Da Zhao to work as casual cultivators, they can live a leisurely life of being rich and content, but this is not their goal.
They know very well that once they leave the sect and become casual cultivators, they will most likely be able to live in Qi training, and even foundation building will become a luxury.
The story of casual cultivators encountering adventures one after another, relying on their own qualifications and talents to practice hard, and not bullying young people to practice against the will of heaven, and finally become Zifu only exists in the dramas of storytellers in teahouses and restaurants. It’s not that it doesn’t exist, but it’s just that it’s so rare that it’s talked about by ordinary people in dramas.
Because of this, Xuan Chimei joined Bailu Taoist Academy. Those of them who had known Xuanchimei since childhood and knew her well were not as surprised and puzzled as others, but they were still curious about how Chen Huaisheng came to be. Being able to achieve such a rise against the sky, and what can they gain from it.
So when Xuan Chimei invited them to visit Bailu Taoist Temple, they all readily agreed. At that time, they didn’t know that Chen Huaisheng had broken the third level in two years, and they only thought that maybe Chen Huaisheng Shenghui has another breakthrough and is about to advance to the second level of foundation building.
Even so, in their view, it is still an act against nature.
Seven years is nothing to a practitioner.
The more common ones are the second level of Qi refining, the third level of Qi refining that progresses faster, the ones with stronger talents, the ones who practice hard and have the resources to keep up are the fourth level of Qi refining, which is quite good. Excellent, fifth level Qi refining, basically outstanding among the entire group of disciples.
Seven years of foundation building, at least at their level, they haven't seen it yet.
When I came today, I learned from Xuan Chimei that Chen Huaisheng had been in seclusion for two years, broke three levels in a row, and had already established the fourth level of foundation, which was the real middle stage of foundation building.
Now the number of foundation-building monks in the entire Chonghua sect sounds quite large, thirty-seven. However, there are only 24 people building the initial stage of the foundation, only eight people building the middle stage, and five people building the foundation. Base and high section.
And among the thirteen middle- and high-level foundation builders, four are already over 134 years old. In other words, these four people basically have no room for improvement. Among the remaining nine people, there is no One is under ninety years old, or in other words, there are only two under a hundred years old, one is a high-level foundation builder of the Yuhan Sect, and the other is a middle-level foundation builder of the Lingyun Sect.
It can be seen that it is difficult to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, which can only be achieved by thirty to fifty years of hard work. This is also the basic requirement of almost all sects and aristocratic families, including those super sects. Condition.
Among the super sects and gate lords, there are those who have advanced to the middle and high levels of foundation building in their thirties and fifties, but such talents are rare, and they are basically cultivated as the future core figures of the sect.
Now everyone has finally met someone in the Chonghua sect, and he is someone close to him, and he has had the experience of interacting with him before.
They can't tell where Chen Huaisheng will go in the future, but now they are sure that deepening the relationship between the two parties will only have advantages and no disadvantages.
“Wu Yang, Sadness, Zhi Ruo, welcome, welcome, you have been in Hebei for more than a year, but I have been in retreat and have not been able to meet. It is rare to come to my humble residence to sit here today, so I must be small. Let's have a drink..."
Chen Huaisheng is very enthusiastic. He also knows that this group of people are very sensitive now, and they are also very careful about how to interact with them.
Xuan Chimei told him about the current situation of the dozens of people in Yuanhe Sect.
Du Guo's injury has not healed, which makes everyone anxious, but even if Du Guo returns to the Zifu state, it is hard to say where the Yuan He Sect disciples will go.
Not to mention that Xu Huaihuai and Ling Fan are not disciples of the Yuanhe Sect. It is difficult for them to empathize with people like the Yuanhe Sect. This time they come, they may have their own ideas.
