Chapter 319 Volume C I Walk Alone (Please Vote for Additional Updates!)

"Congratulations, Master." Chen Huaisheng looked at Wu Tianen, whose complexion was warm and his hair seemed to have turned a lot darker. He sincerely congratulated him.

Wu Tianen smiled. Even though he rarely smiled, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the happy event and the "disciple" he admired and was closest to came to congratulate him.

Chen Huaisheng couldn't be considered his disciple, but should be the direct disciple of the headmaster.

But Wu Tianen knew that the headmaster had too many brothers and sisters, and was busy with housework. In fact, there was not much master-disciple relationship between these disciples. It was more to select outstanding disciples from the sect and grant this status so that they could get more resources and improve their realm faster.

So in a sense, these disciples of Shang Jiuling were more of the role of the headmaster's direct disciples, and they were considered the core disciples trained for the entire sect.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Shang Jiuling didn't have any kindness to these disciples.

He also guided and instructed these disciples, but it was far less close than other masters and apprentices, and the feelings were not as deep.

From Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng, Liu Chun, Yao Liwei to Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Tong Tong, there may be another batch of disciples to be recruited in the next step.

Counting on your fingers will show that Shang Jiuling cannot have so much energy to teach the art of Taoism.

Moreover, he himself needs to continue to advance in the Purple Mansion Realm. Both publicly and privately, he needs to focus more on his own practice.

On the contrary, people like Zhu Fengbi, You Shaoyou, Xu Muyang, and even Wang Yao and Zhao Sitian can have more energy to teach and pass on the art after accepting disciples.

Wu Tianen also knew that Chen Huaisheng was a grateful person. Since he introduced him to the sect, he has always been very close to him. Whether it was Guo Chongdao's deliberate kindness in the Transmission Academy, or Li Yu's acceptance as the headmaster's personal disciple later, it did not change this situation, which made Wu Tianen very happy.

It's not that he hopes that the other party must be close to him, but he feels that he has not chosen the wrong person.

He was very proud of his vision. You know, Qiao Zhun looked down on Chen Huaisheng at the beginning, but he chose Chen Huaisheng against all odds. Now it seems that Chen Huaisheng is an extremely correct choice for both himself and the sect.

"Haha, it is worth being happy, but Huaisheng, there is no need to praise him too much. I have been building my foundation for more than five years, and now I have only broken through and advanced to the second level of foundation building. It is already very slow. Look at you, maybe in a few more years, you will surpass me. How old are you? I am already eighty-eight."

Although Wu Tianen was happy, he still couldn't help sighing in his words.

He was already sixty when he was in the seventh level of Qi Refining, and now this person is already in the seventh level of Qi Refining. How many years is there between him and the second level of foundation building?

It's really hard to say, maybe five years, maybe ten years?

"Uncle Master, why should you be so modest? Building the second level in five years is also very fast. Although I have been faster in the past few years, I have also had various opportunities and luck. It is not so easy to advance to the high stage of Qi Refining. I have already felt the difference now..."

Chen Huaisheng's words made Wu Tianen shake his head: "Huaisheng, you said I should not be modest, and you should not be self-deprecating. The last time you retreated for half a year and failed to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining, I thought you really encountered a bottleneck, but I didn't expect you to break through the most critical step of this Qi Refining stage after going out for training. I believe that whether it is Zhao Sitian or Yao Liwei, they would not be able to easily do what you are doing now when they were at the sixth level of Qi Refining."

Wu Tianen's words made Chen Huaisheng unable to explain more.

This is the reality. He has indeed broken through the high stage of Qi Refining that many people cannot advance to in their lifetime. At this age, it is difficult for people to believe and accept it. If I say more, it will make me look hypocritical.

"Uncle Master, I really..."

"Okay, no need to say more, this is something to celebrate." Wu Tianen waved his hand, his eyes full of emotion and appreciation, "You seem to have gained a lot from this trip. Advancing to the high stage of Qi Refining is a completely different stage. You should think carefully about your plans for the next few years, uh, even prepare for foundation building."

Chen Huaisheng was surprised and said quickly: "Uncle Master, I am only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. It is still too far away from foundation building. It will take at least eight or ten years..."

Wu Tianen shook his head: "The outside world thinks that there are still several levels between the seventh level of Qi Refining and foundation building, but this is a superficial phenomenon. Some people may find it difficult to make any progress after breaking through the seventh level of Qi Refining, but some people may be unstoppable, and the eighth and ninth levels are smooth sailing, just like when you went from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, didn't you also retreat and rush all the way, unstoppable?"

Chen Huaisheng was stunned.

He knew that his one and a half year retreat had broken through the second level, which had become a legendary story in the sect. The impact was so great that he was a little mythical.

Has this happened in other sects?

Maybe, maybe not, but it has never happened in the Chonghua Sect. He is the pioneer of history and has been written into the sect's memorandum and recorded forever.

It was because of his performance that Li Yu included him in the master's personal disciples. Otherwise, it would be impossible with his age and entry time.

"Uncle, that was the initial stage of Qi training. Now it is a high stage of Qi training. I am 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 was 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. For example, from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, many people are It is a process of accumulation. With qualifications like mine, it only took me one and a half years, and I passed it mediocrely. When I reached the peak, it was the foundation building level that took me ten years, but it was like Senior Brother Li Yu who was much better than my natural qualifications. , 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, he almost collapsed Senior Brother Li Yu, but he just couldn't find that state..."

Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide in disbelief.

With the qualifications of being in charge of the courtyard, he actually spent seven years stuck in the ninth level of Qi training to the peak of Qi training?

In many people's minds, even a single level of difference doesn't count, it's 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 at the ninth level of Qi Refining to reach the peak of Qi Refining, but after Senior Brother Li Yu was promoted to the peak of Qi Refining, he only needed It took two and a half years to successfully build the foundation, and it only took the head senior brother only three years..."

Chen Huaisheng was thoughtful: "It took Senior Brother Wang Yao six years to successfully build the foundation, but it only took him three years to reach the peak of Qi refining at the ninth level..."

It seems like this is a balance. There is a slight gap between geniuses and non-geniuses, but it won't be too far apart?

Is that so?

But for Yu Fengqian, it takes half a year from the ninth level of Qi refining to reach the peak of Qi refining, and less than half a year from the peak of Qi refining to foundation building. So what do you mean?

Super genius?

"What I want to say is that maybe going from the seventh level of Qi Refining 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 of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, maybe it will It’s different, maybe not, I can’t tell.” Wu Tianen smiled, “I guess even the head brother probably doesn’t know how to find your own path now, so he won’t give direct advice. You, but more importantly, let yourself 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.

"Then disciple..." Chen Huaisheng was a little confused.

"Go your own way. You don't need to care about other people's opinions, whether it's Senior Brother Zhu, Senior Brother You, Tianfeng, Sitian or others." Wu Tianen waved his hand, "You can listen, but you have to make your own decisions, including you in the Chuan Gong Academy. I have selected a few disciples to try and give guidance. As long as it is beneficial to you and beneficial to them, you can try it..."

It seems that many people are still dissatisfied with his recruitment of "small groups" and "small circles", 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 head's direct disciple, I also have this privilege.

As for criticism and doubt within the sect, no matter what you do, you will always have this criticism and doubt. This kind of criticism and doubt has been with you since you started. The earliest was Qiao Zhun, later Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong, and then there were even more. But there is no need to care about it.

There is nothing better than using performance to conquer and slap someone in the face.
