Chapter 376 Volume C: Big Brother Leads the Way, Keep Moving Forward
Seeing the heroic Hu Delu and Sand Ling, Chen Huaisheng felt much better.
Both of them have advanced to the middle stage of Qi refining. For both of them, this progress is already very fast, especially Hu Delu.
The two of them also knew very well that their talents could only be considered average in the sect. In many cases, when the sect's resources became increasingly scarce, it would be difficult to take care of their average performance.
Especially in the past two or three years, the Chonghua Sect has almost monopolized the entire Fuyang Dao selection, and has also extended its hands into Weihuai Dao and Zhaigu Dao. It has even developed a lot of recruitment in Youzhou in the north. people.
Most of these recruiters are old monks or Taoists with some connections in local clans and families, and they have good vision and skills.
They all saw the Chonghua Sect taking root in Yanzhou and Fuyang, the duel with the Yuelu Sect, the struggle with the Tianhe Sect, the show of strength against the Fengyi Sect, and even the strong suppression of the Youzhou Ning family, forcing them to After sorting out the Fuyang Road in a smooth and orderly manner, and having captured most of it, it was natural to understand that the rise of the Chonghua Sect in Fuyang was unstoppable.
Entering the arms of the Chonghua Sect at this time means that it can ensure the stability of the clan family for hundreds or even hundreds of years in the future, and the children of the clan family can have a better future when they are sent to the sect.
Of course, the premise is that their performance must be enough to satisfy the sect.
Therefore, in the past two or three years, the excellent Tao seeds in the entire Fuyang Road and its surroundings were dug out by these guides and sent to the gate of the Chonghua Sect.
I have to admit that Hebei has outstanding people. From a talent perspective, it is not much inferior to Zhao.
There are more than two million people in Fuyang Road, and the number of Taoist species born every year is about the same as that in Yiyang Prefecture. If we add the surrounding Weihuai Road, Zhaigu Road and Youzhou, the population range for the Chonghua Sect to choose from is actually about About five million people.
The number of children born every year in this group of people are determined to be Taoist species and sent to the mountain gate after careful selection. They are not a small number. They are much better in terms of quantity and quality than when they were in Langling.
These Taoist seeds with excellent qualifications and endowments were selected and sent to the mountain gate, which caused the number of disciples in the outer hall of the Chonghua Sect to increase exponentially, and outstanding disciples emerged one after another.
"Isn't this kind of competitive atmosphere of chasing each other very good?" Chen Huaisheng asked with a smile.
"That's good, but senior brother, after the new rules come out, if you enter the country in three years and have no breakthrough in five years, it means that the resources allocated to you by the sect will be greatly reduced, or even completely lost. Where will you go by then?"
Sandling sighed, "Nowadays, everyone is striving to be the first, and everyone is unwilling to be inferior to others. Almost every day, you can hear that someone has broken through and advanced to the next level. Everyone is under great pressure."
"Then the disciples from the Lingyun Sect are not afraid of challenges. Could it be that our old disciples from the Chonghua Sect can't keep up?" Chen Huaisheng asked rhetorically.
"It's not entirely true, but the differentiation gap is getting bigger and bigger." Hu Delu's eyes were a little unwilling to accept, but also a little confused, "Like Zhuo and his party, they have made rapid progress under the guidance of Master Zhu, and it is said that they have broken through Qi Refining The fifth level, and Zhao Wuyou, are also said to have been in retreat and are preparing to attack the fifth level of Qi Refining. "
"There are also Peng Youshu and Qin Zeju who are advancing quickly. Peng Youshu also broke through and advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining half a year ago. Qin Zeju advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining last month..."
Chen Huaisheng was surprised. Zhuo and his party had already broken through the fifth level of Qi refining? So fast?
He knew that Zhuo Yixing was indeed extremely talented.
Zhao Sitian and Yuan Wenbo both mentioned that Zhuo Yi Xing's spiritual roots and bones were excellent, his understanding and spirituality were very high, and he could almost understand all the techniques and techniques in practice.
Moreover, Zhu Fengbi had high hopes for him, and spent almost all his money on him. He also devoted a large amount of spiritual materials and elixirs to use bone-soaking techniques to enhance his stamina, which shows how much he valued him.
Now it seems that Zhuo Yixing has not disappointed. In just three years, he has gone from the third level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining. This speed is not slower than his own progress.
There is also Zhao Wuyou, who became You Shaoyou's disciple and was also highly regarded by You Shaoyou. It has only been three years since he broke through the fourth level of Qi refining and now he has begun to retreat to attack the fifth level of Qi refining. It seems that he should be quite good at it. Only when you are confident will you retreat. Maybe next year and a half, you will be able to advance to the fifth level of Qi refining.
In comparison, although Hu Delu and Sanding Ling are already at the fourth level of Qi refining, they still have a long way to go before they can reach the fifth level of Qi refining. Even they themselves can feel that this gap is gradually being eliminated. Pull away.
Moreover, Peng Youshu and Qin Zeju did not stop, and even pursued them after becoming apprentices to Ma Daochun and Cao Renben.
Chen Huaisheng realized that in the past year or two, although he had entered the country quickly, he had to say that he had somewhat neglected the people around him.
This is true for Min Qingyu, Ren Wugou, Yunlei, and Hu Delu.
But he had to.
Chen Huaisheng knew very well that if he fell behind, no matter how fast Min Qingyu and Hu Delu entered the country, it would not mean much.
No matter how hard they try, they can't catch up with themselves, and it's difficult for them to be included in the sight of the sect's senior leaders. Only if their practice continues to speed up and the distance between them and the surrounding competitors becomes wider and wider, will they have more opportunities.
In fact, they all should understand this, but if it comes down to it, they may still feel a little disappointed and anxious.
Perhaps Min Qingyu is better for someone who has always been by his side, but Hu Delu and others must have such a strong feeling.
After a pause, Chen Huaisheng nodded: "Zhuo Yixing and Zhao Wuyou have performed so well, aren't they still the best?"
Hu Delu shook his head, "Brother, your mind has been outside for the past two years, or you have been practicing in seclusion, and we dare not disturb your practice, so we haven't mentioned these things in the sect to you, but there are indeed many amazing talents among the new disciples recruited in the sect in the past two years..."
"There is a disciple in Datuweizi who entered the sect two years ago, Miao Miao, less than three years, thirteen this year, and now he has reached the third level of Qi Refining. Ding Shouzuo also accepted him as a disciple. There is also a disciple from the Du family in Bajiaozhai, who is considered a distant branch of the Du family, Du Qingyuan , only fourteen, two years into the sect, and already at the second level of Qi Refining. Elder Li Yu also made an exception to accept her as a disciple before he went out to travel, and now he has entrusted Senior Brother Wang Yao to temporarily discipline her,...
"There are also many outstanding disciples coming from Lingyun Sect. Huo Yuanzong is only seventeen years old, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Cui Shufu is fifteen years old, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he has also been in seclusion to challenge the fifth level of Qi Refining,..., and that Junior Sister Ding Xizhen, I don’t know if you have any impression of her, she is the great-granddaughter of the Ding Zuzuo, more than a year ago, she was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but she was accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect, and now she is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and has begun to challenge the sixth level of Qi Refining,..."
The head of the sect accepted Ding Xizhen as a disciple? The daughter of Ding Runyao? She showed up in the battle with the demon corpse, Chen Huaisheng still has some impression of her.
I have another junior sister?
Chen Huaisheng was very surprised.
Didn’t Shang Jiuling say that he didn’t plan to accept disciples? Moreover, he accepted Ding Zongshou's great-granddaughter as his disciple, so how to discuss the seniority with Ding Zongshou?
This is really a confusing account.
However, this situation is not uncommon in the sect. Some disciples are favored by the senior bosses and accepted as disciples, and then they are separated from their original family status. This is also a kind of luck.
However, the actions between Shang Jiuling and Ding Zongshou are a bit like "joining forces", or is it that the joining of Lingyun Sect really puts too much pressure on some people?
Chen Huaisheng thinks it is not so.
Sanderling added: "And almost every three or five days, you can hear about the outstanding performance of these new junior brothers who suddenly appear, which makes everyone a little uneasy."
Chen Huaisheng can understand their anxious mood. Sanderling is thirty years old, Hu Delu and Zhao Liangkui are also in their early twenties. If this situation continues to occur, it is normal for them to worry about their future.
If they had never felt the dazzling performance of the outstanding people around them, and had never had the psychological advantage of leading in the early stage, then it might be better, but they had, and now they are facing the possibility of falling behind. This kind of taste of going from luxury to frugality is not pleasant.
To be honest, the qualifications of Hu Delu, Sanderling, and Zhao Liangkui were only barely above average in the past. If the new disciples recruited by the sect after arriving in Hebei and the disciples from Lingyun Sect were merged, their qualifications might only be considered average.
In fact, the proportion of these emerging disciples is not much more than before, but the number has definitely increased, and people's inertia is to only see those dazzling ones, while more obscure and ordinary ones are subconsciously ignored.
It is these reasons that make them feel pressure.
It is not easy to be the leader. Chen Huaisheng now understands this pressure and taste.
Although Hu Delu and the others can understand their current situation, and even have no complaints about their lack of concern for them in the past two years, they definitely still hope that they have reached the peak of Qi Refining now, and can give them some advice, guidance, and even help in their spare time.
I was a little too careless before, or too confident, and my understanding of this point was too shallow, and I did not expect all the subsequent things.
Now it seems that Zhao Sitian is wiser to choose only Ren Wuchen as his apprentice.
If this kind of emotion accumulates for a long time, this small team may be disbanded.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it disbands, but Chen Huaisheng doesn't want his reputation to be ruined in the sect, and Chen Huaisheng also knows that maintaining such a team will certainly cost him some energy and expenses, but there will also be a lot of convenience and help, which is also a pros and cons.
It's time to think about them. With Min Qingyu as a helper, it won't take much thought and energy.
