Strange mountains and rivers

It was already the end of March when Hu Delu and the others arrived at Wolong Ridge.

They were the last to arrive.

Their arrival also marked the end of the Chonghua faction's northward migration and the official entry into the reconstruction phase of settling in Hebei.

Before their arrival, the Chonghua Party's liaison, infiltration, and wooing work in surrounding areas was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The second batch of new disciples from Fuyang Dao have also arrived.

The number of mortals and Taoists in Longlin Plain has reached nearly a thousand.

Their main task is to rebuild and repair the old residence courtyards and main halls on the original site of Dongxuanzong, so as to establish the structure of the Chonghua Sect as soon as possible.

Most of the Longlinyuan side has been cleared, leaving only a few more remote and remote houses that have not yet been repaired there.

In addition, after planning the situation on Longlinyuan, the Chonghua Sect also invested heavily in the construction of the mountain protection formation.

In Langling, the mountain protection formation of Panshan Langshan played a huge role.

Baishimen's crazy attack failed to break through the mountain-protecting formation, which shows the power and effectiveness of the mountain-protecting formation.

If it weren't for Tong Baichuan's betrayal and defeat of the Formation Eye Technique from within, Baishimen might not have been able to succeed even if it was joined by Wu Yue's evil cultivator Zhang Taiquan from Zifu.

The mountain protection array can play such a huge role, and its consumption is naturally huge.

Several types of spiritual metals such as elixir gold, mithril, meteorite copper, and obsidian iron, as well as spiritual stones that support the operation of the magic circle, and other types of spiritual materials are all massive investments.

But for Chonghuapai, who have suffered enough and tasted the sweetness, it is all worth it.

Especially in Hebei, a dangerous place surrounded by crises, we cannot and dare not save any investment in this area.

New rules also began to be implemented, and the sect began to promote a new apprenticeship system and a reward system for sect disciples to encourage outstanding talents to stand out.

"Senior Sister Tong has gone on a trip." Hu Delu said while looking at the surrounding scenery: "Senior Sister Fang, I went to check before I left. Everything was normal. She went to Luoyi, I don't know when she will come back."

Chen Huaisheng did not agree to Fang Baoqi coming to Hebei.

Although Fang Baoqi has advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Chen Huaisheng feels that his state of mind and fighting will have not been improved.

In a land full of tigers and wolves like Hebei, coming here will only distract you.

Fang Baoqi couldn't win over Chen Huaisheng, so she had to give up, but she agreed that she would come to Hebei for one year. As for whether she would stay in Hebei or not, that was another matter.

Tong Tong's heart knot cannot be untied now.

Although she had great feelings for the Chonghua Sect, her uncle rebelled and became a member of the Baishi Sect. Even if she told him otherwise, the sect's senior leaders would not care, but she could not pass her own test.

So in the end I had to travel first and wait until later.

The scenery here in Hebei is somewhat different from that in Langling.

If Panshan Langshan is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a sense of purity that nourishes people, then Wolong Mountain here is steep and majestic, with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

But one thing is the same, that is, they are all places with rich spiritual energy, otherwise they would not be selected as the place where the mountain gate is located.

"Well." Chen Huaisheng also had a look of longing on his face.

Having been in Hebei for so long, I am busy with various affairs almost every day. Apart from morning and evening classes, I cannot stop at all, and I am also involved in various general affairs.

Although Wu Tianen was promised to give up his mundane duties and devote himself to cultivation, everyone knew that he would not be able to rest until the sect was completely settled, even Wu Tianen.

When I became busy, I thought less about other things. When Hu Delu mentioned it, all kinds of emotions spread in my heart.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's eyes blurred and his expression confused, Hu Delu couldn't help but shake his head.

Women would only affect his own practice. He had made up his mind not to taint the love between his children until he established the foundation. As a senior brother, he was good at everything, but he made a mistake here.

If you can calm down, you may not be able to build a foundation before the age of forty. In Hu Delu's view, this is the limit of genius. If he can build a foundation before the age of sixty, it will be a lifelong pursuit.

After being silent for a while, Chen Huaisheng slowly came to his senses and realized that he was really a bit obsessed.

"De Lu, what are your next plans?" Chen Huaisheng composed himself, "The third level of Qi refining has a long way to go, and you also need to work hard."

"Senior brother, haven't I worked hard enough?" Hu Delu had a correct attitude. "You can't put me and you on the same line to compare. Things like the third level this year and the fourth level next year will not be my turn. I am self-aware."

Chen Huaisheng was speechless.

This is originally the case. It would be unbelievable if everyone could reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in just three years like Chen Huaisheng.

"Then do you have the intention to become a disciple?" Chen Huaisheng mainly asked this question.

After the new system of apprenticeship and apprenticeship is introduced, disciples below the advanced level of Qi Refining in Chuan Gong Academy are theoretically qualified to become apprentices, but the number of Taoist masters who can accept apprentices is limited.

Needless to say, everyone wants to be his disciple, like the headmaster and the chief elder, but the conditions for accepting disciples are definitely very strict and the number of places is very few.

For example, Shang Jiuling has not considered accepting any more disciples, while Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong are regarded as closed disciples.

Zhu Fengbi will definitely accept disciples, but the number will not be large.

Other foundation-building Taoist masters such as You Shaoyou, Xu Muyang, Ma Daochun, Wu Tianen, and Wang Yao may also select the best to accept disciples, but they themselves also hope to advance in practice and cannot invest too much energy in it. It’s about teaching apprentices, so there must be a limit on the number.

The only ones left are a few at the higher levels of Qi Refining.

People like Xu Tianfeng and Cao Renben are now focused on attacking the foundation. People like Liu Chun, Yao Liwei and others also want to make breakthroughs in their spiritual practice. In addition, they have to be responsible for some general affairs, so they have to be distracted from recruiting disciples. Disciple, I’m afraid it’s also difficult.

People like Zhao Sitian who are willing to take the initiative to recruit disciples are just choosing one or two people based on their merits.

In this way, it can be said that for the more than 200 Chonghua disciples in the middle and lower levels of Qi Refining, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"I haven't thought about it. If I can become a disciple of all the foundation-building immortal masters, I would naturally be willing to do so. But if it's something else, I don't think it makes much sense."

Hu Delu is already at the third level of qi refining. He is not the kind of entry-level disciple who has just realized the Tao or just succeeded in refining qi. Naturally, he has his own considerations.

It can be said that Hu Delu's qualifications may not be high in the selection of these foundation builders.

And from the considerations of these people, they may also be more willing to match high and low, and choose some disciples who are well-qualified and have a certain level of talent to match with some disciples who are just starting out.

In this way, the former has strong receptive ability and some teaching ability. The latter, that is, the new junior juniors and junior sisters can teach the skills on their behalf, and they can free up their own energy to practice or deal with common affairs.

Therefore, Hu Delu, who is in the third level of Qi refining, is not suitable. Disciples who are in the middle stage of Qi refining are often the most suitable.

People like Chen Huaisheng who are at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining are the most suitable.

"If you have a goal of your own, you don't necessarily have to worship anyone as your teacher." Chen Huaisheng said thoughtfully: "As long as you perform well enough, the sect will see it. From the current policy, resources will be more focused on performance. Outstanding disciples will have greater leeway in choosing exercises."

Chen Huaisheng originally wanted to recommend Hu Delu to Wu Tianen, but seeing that Hu Delu didn't have much enthusiasm to become his disciple, he thought it would be better to take another look. If Hu Delu really performed well in the Chuan Gong Academy, that would be fine. You don’t have to be a disciple.

Chen Huaisheng's words made Hu Delu a little moved, "Is there more room for choice in terms of exercises? Isn't it just limited to the ones in the Sutra Collection Pavilion?"

"The Sutra Pavilion is also divided into internal and external levels, but this time the sect has made up its mind. All we need to do is submit an application and get approval." Chen Huaisheng nodded.

At this point, he will also have greater privileges, and some of the previously secret techniques will be submitted to him for selection. As long as necessary, basically all the techniques of the Chonghua Sect will be open to him.

Before this, Chen Huaisheng didn't know that the Sutra Pavilion was actually different from the inside and the outside. He thought that what he saw was everything, but later he realized that he was too naive.

Wealth Law Couple Land, this law is ranked second. Any disciple can see it at a glance. There are also strict boundaries here.

For example, what can be seen below the middle level of Qi Refining is all that is announced to the outside world. Only when you enter the high level of Qi Refining and obtain the approval of the Deacon Council and the Elders Council can you see the secrets of the second level.

At the foundation building stage, basically everyone can see it, except for some extremely special techniques that can only be viewed by the three giants: the head, the head of the courtyard, and the chief elder.

In a sense, the reason why Tong Baichuan is dissatisfied is that he thinks that he cannot see the skills that only Shang Jiuling, Li Yu and Zhu Fengbi can see. As a result, it is difficult for him to make breakthroughs, so he is determined to Have second thoughts and eventually rebel.

Baishimen also used this kind of temptation, promising to let him read the skills in Baishimen that could break through the situation and enter Dengzi Mansion, which made Tong Baichuan's heart flutter.

Of course, this point has not changed now. Unless it is jointly approved by Shang Jiuling, Li Yu and Zhu Fengbi, some of the most secret techniques and secrets cannot be handed over to others for viewing.

However, now the key points of the Kung Fu techniques have also been greatly relaxed. As long as they are disciples of the sect, they originally had to be at a high level of Qi refining before they can view them. All of them have been approved by the Supreme Court of the Chuangong Academy or their masters. You can watch, and if you want to watch higher-level exercises, you can also submit an application and submit it to the Board of Deacons and the Elders for approval.

Although Chen Huaisheng is still in the middle of Qi refining, he has also received special approval. Except for the highest-level exercises and secrets, all others are allowed to be viewed. He has also selected two or three exercises and is ready to wait until the right time. Practice with all your strength.
