Strange Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 394 Volume C Self-Reliance, Go Together

After hearing Zhao Sitian's unexpected turn of events, Chen Huaisheng knew that there might be some workarounds, or that there should still be some internal refining methods that he hoped to obtain.

"But some large sects and aristocratic families will still explore this type of skills, but they are not very successful." Zhao Sitian did not beat around the bush, "As far as I know, the Luoyi Mi family should have this type of skills. "

Chen Huaisheng remembered that this man had a close relationship with the Luoyi Mi family. When they first met, Zhao Sitian appeared together with the second young master of the Luoyi Mi family.

"Luo Yi Mi's family?" Chen Huaisheng pondered for a moment and then asked directly: "Brother Sitian, does this little brother have a chance to experience this kind of technique?"

It's not that Chen Huaisheng is presumptuous, but that there are countless such techniques in the world of cultivation, and not all techniques will be classified as secrets not to be passed down by sects and aristocratic families.

On the contrary, many exercises are actually some inferences gained by monks in their practice, and some are derived from some exercises and techniques, so many of them are put up for sale and auctioned.

Zhao Sitian did not shirk. He thought for a moment and said, "My relationship with Young Master Mi is pretty good, but we have lost contact in the past two years. This time I go to the capital, if possible, I can mention it to him and see if there is any problem." Opportunity to make a plan for you."

Chen Huaisheng was a little excited, finally finding his direction.

If most sects think that this kind of internal training method is useless, then it is really difficult to find it, and I don't have the ability to create my own method, at least not yet, so I can only look for these methods.

Unexpectedly, he could make a breakthrough with Zhao Sitian. Chen Huaisheng suddenly realized that his circle of friends was still too narrow.

Except for Xiong Zhuang, Tang Jingtian, and Yu Fengqian, the others are almost confined to the sect. It seems that he is not too keen on making friends, and many of them have only casual relationships.

I didn't think it was anything at first, but now it shows up when needed. Looking at Zhao Sitian, it seems that he is much better than himself in this aspect.

"How confident do you think Brother Sitian is? Isn't it difficult to show outsiders the skills passed down from one family to another?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Sitian glanced at Chen Huaisheng: "Huaisheng, it seems that he is very interested in the art of internal refining. You don't have to think about it. The art of internal refining is not only possessed by the Mi family, but not everyone is very familiar with it." Not that no one cares about it, but it doesn’t mean much. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you really want it, as long as you give it the right conditions, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"Ah?" Chen Huaisheng was surprised. It was actually an exchange, or could it be obtained by trading?

If so, that's really great.

But the Luoyi Mi family is still one of the top ten sects of the Zhao family. Is the moral code within the family so lax? Or is it that transactions with the outside world are prohibited in the first place?

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's surprised expression, Zhao Sitian also knew that he did not know much about the situation within these wealthy families and large sects, so he smiled.

"Huaisheng, don't think that these powerful families are so big. There are often hundreds or thousands of people in a family. How many can really stand out and reach the pinnacle of cultivation? Even if they are born with better blood, they are just a chance of Taoism. It’s bigger, but when it comes to comparing cultivation and talent later, the gap will become apparent.”

Chen Huaisheng nodded silently.

"The Luoyi Mi family is nominally one of the ten great families in Zhao, but it has declined a lot in the past twenty years. In fact, these great families are declining, it's just a matter of speed. Maybe you still remember that you came to the sect with me. The second son of Mi, if we say he can be considered a direct descendant, his uncle is the current head of the Mi family. However, he is really the eleventh in the Mi family, but only the second in his father's branch. In the Mi family, he is called For Eleventh Master, Mr. Mi Er is an honorific title for familiar friends outside. You cannot call him that in front of other members of the Mi family..."

Needless to say about the rest, it’s just that the direct branches are all numbers 1 and 20, and they are divided into Nagato, second and third gates, so it’s very complicated. Whether you can get ahead does not depend on whether you are a direct branch. , it depends more on your ability.

"The Mi family has a great business, but there are not many outstanding people in these generations, so the ranking among the top ten wealthy families has been steadily declining. Twenty years ago, it seemed to be ranked fourth. Ten years ago, It had already slipped to sixth place. Three years ago, during the last Dao Conference, it had already slipped to ninth place. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Sitian couldn't help but shake his head: "But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Mi family still has some good things, but the children of the Mi family don't cherish them very much. The inner training method you mentioned, I have the impression There are members of the Zhongmi family who have studied and practiced this technique in previous generations. I don’t know the specific situation, but I can be sure that no one will care about this technique..."

"Brother Sitian means that if I want to seek this set of skills, it is very likely that I can get it from the Mi family?" Chen Huaisheng calmed down slightly, "Then what do I need to pay?"

"This may only be known after Huaisheng comes into contact with the children of the Mi family, but I think the price offered by the Mi family will not be too high, especially since these may be traded privately by the children of their Mi family, and Brother Huaisheng may get it. Very sexy."

Zhao Sitian didn't know why Chen Huaisheng was so interested in the method of internal refining.

In his opinion, taking the Demonic Beast Yuan Dan internally is actually a very uneconomical method. It may be more efficient to use the internal refining technique, but the internal refining technique will definitely damage your own bones. If you use the external refining method of Five Hearts, The effect may be slightly worse, but it avoids the harm of internal refining. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?

However, each family has its own way of cultivation. It is normal for people to try and explore. Zhao Sitian will not presumptuously instruct the other party on what to do.

"Sitian said that, I feel at ease." Chen Huaisheng smiled, "As for the Mi family, I will ask Sitian to help introduce them. As long as I can get something, I will not hesitate to trade."

"Oh, it seems that you will gain a lot from this trip to Weihuai Dao?" Zhao Sitian is more interested in this trip.

He did not catch up because he was in seclusion. Later, after he came out of seclusion, he heard that Teng Dingyuan and Zeng Guolin had gained a lot from this trip. He also heard that Chen Huaisheng wanted to invite him, but it didn't work out. He was very regretful.

With the merger of the Chonghua Sect with the Lingyun Sect, and the Chonghua Sect changing its conservative style and recruiting disciples vigorously, the number of disciples in the mountain gate has expanded rapidly, and the arrival of the Lingyun Sect has also greatly increased the number of disciples from foundation building to high-level Qi refining. Now there are nearly 20 foundation building disciples in the young and middle-aged stage in the sect.

This change has also brought subtle influences.

The increase in the number of foundation building disciples means that the importance of high-level Qi refining disciples has weakened, and the increase in the number of high-level Qi refining disciples means that the status and importance of individual disciples are also fading.

Including Zhao Sitian and Chen Huaisheng, who used to be quite dazzling in the sect, they are probably not so prominent now.

If the sect has any important tasks or needs to discuss any important matters, the foundation building disciples will be the first to be thought of.

Chen Huaisheng himself felt this, for example, the head of the sect and the dean would call him to discuss matters, but now, more than ten foundation building disciples are still in front, so naturally it will not be his turn.

For Chen Huaisheng, this is also a gain and a loss.

The advantage is that he is now more relaxed and free, and he doesn't have to be watched by the big guys all the time. The disadvantage is that his status is obviously not as good as before. Many things are discussed and studied, and he is no longer summoned. He can't get some news in the sect in the first time, but often gets it from Wu Tianen.

However, Chen Huaisheng thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

He didn't expect to get too many resources in the sect. Yunzhong Mountain and Bailu Cave Mansion are enough for him. Now he can rely on his own strength to carefully manage it, and look for opportunities to go out hunting from time to time, just like this time, which is very rewarding.

As for the sect, just ask for equal treatment, and don't have to fulfill so many obligations. Since those foundation-building predecessors have received the sect's preferential treatment, they should naturally fulfill those obligations.

Without these obligations, more energy and time can be freed up to manage it by yourself. Now it seems that Zhao Sitian has also realized this and began to show interest.

Yes, Zhao Sitian is indeed tempted.

Chen Huaisheng had made a lot of gains in the past two years on Peach Blossom Island, and this trip to Tongtianbo on Weihuai Road was also very fruitful, which made Zhao Sitian feel itchy.

Although no one had publicized it, Zhao Sitian could not hide it. His apprentice Ren Wuchen and Chen Huaisheng's Ren Wugui were siblings, and Chen Huaisheng did not intend to hide it from Zhao Sitian.

"Brother Sitian, it depends on how you look at it. I think it's good. I went there for the Red Cloud Flying Deer, and I achieved my goal. As for the harvest from Tongtianbo, it was an unexpected surprise." Chen Huaisheng spread his hands, "Brother Sitian, do you feel touched?"

Zhao Sitian was silent for a moment, "Starting from next year, the sect will change the monthly allowance for the disciples every year. I guess the sect now feels that it can't support it. It should pay more attention to the young disciples in the initial stage of Qi Refining, encourage the talented disciples among these young disciples to come forward, and give them special preferential support. The mediocre middle-stage Qi Refining disciples are probably the most disadvantaged, including those high-stage Qi Refining disciples with little potential,..."

"Does Brother Sitian think that we also belong to the group with little potential?" Chen Huaisheng teased.

"Of course we are not among them, but with so many foundation building people, I think it will have some impact on the high-level Qi Refining." Zhao Sitian sighed, "If we want to have more ample arrangements, it seems that we have to rely on ourselves."

Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Yes, the sect can't take care of it, so we have to rely on ourselves? Brother Sitian has this idea, and so does I. Let's go together, let's go together!"
