Chapter 406: Volume D: At Dusk, the Waves Rise and the Journey to Bianjing Is Smooth (Supplementary Update)
During the last Taoist meeting of the Qianji Sect, the sect ranked 23rd, and the overall ranking ranked 31st. Its strength was far better than the original Chonghua Sect, and even higher than the Baishi Sect.
However, after that Taoist meeting, the situation changed dramatically. The strength of Baishimen surged, and it had vaguely surpassed Thousand Machines Sect.
The Chonghua faction sadly moved north. If it had been two years ago, I'm afraid their ranking would have dropped a few places.
But today, after the Chonghua Sect annexed the Lingyun Sect and the Ding Family, its strength has also greatly increased. After having four Zifu True Lords, its strength is already on par with the Qianji Sect.
"Master Chang, are you alright?"
"Master Shang, Brother Fengbi?" The visitor was also very surprised when he saw Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi, but he quickly realized that the other party came from Hebei, and smiled broadly: "You two are also here to attend the Shangyuan Taoist meeting. of?"
"Yes, otherwise why would you go out at such a time? Hebei is covered with snow and three feet of ice, which is not as good as here in Jijun." Shang Jiujian said with emotion.
"Haha, the Chonghua sect moved north to Hebei and dominated Yanzhou. In my opinion, it may not be bad. I have heard that the Chonghua sect is prospering in the past few years, which may disappoint many people."
Chang Xiangsong is not tall, but he is quite fat, with a broad face and a charming smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.
Zhu Fengbi also laughed. Chang Xiangsong was quite good at talking. Whether it was true or false, these words were in line with the wishes of disciple Chonghua: "Brother Chang, I am afraid that many people will not be happy to hear this."
"So what if you're not happy? We, the Qianji Sect, don't have to make a living from their hands." Chang Xiangsong said proudly: "We don't want to hang around in Bianjing City. On this three-thirds of an acre of land in Ji County, our Qianji Sect Not afraid of anyone."
Chang Xiangsong naturally had some confidence in saying this.
The Qianji Sect is not only the number one sect in Ji County, but also has a close relationship with the Wanxiang Sect.
In addition, he is good at making magic weapons and arranging magic arrays. His mountain gate is located in Yuchan Mountain and is very strict. Even among the mountain gates of the entire Da Zhao Sect, he is ranked among the top. Anyone who wants to break in will definitely There's a big price to pay.
The relationship between the family members of the Da Zhao Xiu Zhen Sect is complicated and confusing. Today they are friends, tomorrow they are enemies, and the alliances are vertical and horizontal, and they are unpredictable.
A few years ago, the Wanxiang Sect, Tianyun Sect, and Huaxi Sword Sect joined forces to target Taihua Dao. However, in just a few years, Wanxiang Sect broke up with Tianyun Sect and the others, and instead joined forces with Taihua Dao to compete with Tianyun Sect and others. Huaxi Sword Sect, and Dacheng Sect joined the alliance of Tianyun Sect and Huaxi Sword Sect, which was dazzling.
For example, the Chonghua Sect was not qualified to be ranked in the rankings before, and it was not the Chonghua Sect's turn to interfere in the battles between these large sects and families. However, after the merger of the Chonghua Sect and the Lingyun Sect, and now there is a vague influence in Hebei With Yanzhou showing signs of taking root, it seems to be catching the attention of some people.
This is one of the reasons why Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi came to Bianjing this time.
Chang Xiangsong also noticed Ding Zongshou standing behind Shang Jiuling. As far as he could see, Shang Jiuling also introduced with a smile: "Brother Chang may not know you yet, but this is Senior Brother Ding Zongshou, the leader of our Chonghua Sect. Senior Brother Ding , and Senior Brother Ding’s hometown is from Jijun, this is Brother Chang, the head of Qianji Sect, the first sect in Jijun,..."
"Nice to meet you!"
Ding Zongshou used to be a casual cultivator, but the Ding family moved here from Jijun. However, it was eighty years ago when the Ding family moved from Jijun to Fuyang Road in Yanzhou.
At that time, Ding Zongshou was just a casual Qi practitioner, so naturally he was of no importance and no one knew him. However, Ding Zongshou had already heard about Qianji Sect.
After another round of greetings, Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi met the people next to Chang Xiangsong again.
The Chonghua Sect and the Qianji Sect had no enmity, and they both had some opinions about the Tianyun Sect and the Huaxi Sword Sect in power, so they were barely on the same page.
There are about thirty people from the Qianji Sect participating in the Taoist meeting, but only about ten people actually participate in the Taoist competition, which is similar to that of the Chonghua sect.
This time Qianji Sect came to two Zifu. In addition to Chang Xiangsong, there was also his junior brother Wu Huihai, who was also a True Lord of Zifu.
Judging from its appearance and energy, it should be that he has just entered the Zi Mansion, and is at the level of the first stage of Zi Mansion's Essence.
While several members of the Zifu were exchanging greetings, Chen Huaisheng's eyes fell on these foundation-building monks.
This time's Shangyuan Taoist meeting is still quite important to the sect of Da Zhao.
In addition to the selection of various sects and aristocratic families, which involves the future resource arrangements of these sects and aristocratic families, rankings such as the Qianjiao Tengfeng Ranking, Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking, and Dao Fengyun Ranking all have a great boost to an individual's reputation.
In particular, the latter two are directly related to the influence of incense and willpower after foundation building, and no one can ignore it.
Even Chen Huaisheng is reluctant to participate in the competition, but when it comes to the power of incense and willpower, he has already established the foundation, so he also wants to see the impact of the power of incense and willpower on himself, so he also wants to compete for the Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking. A fight.
There are about six or seven Qianji Sect foundation-building monks in this batch, and the remaining ten or so are all Qi-training monks.
Among the five or six people, there are two who are at the high level of foundation building, the remaining five people are at the middle level of foundation building, and the remaining four are all at the early stage of foundation building.
It can be seen that there are very few female disciples in Qianji Sect. Among the twenty or so people, there are only three female cultivators, and they are all at the Qi level.
While several Zifu bosses were chatting with each other, Chen Huaisheng didn't know that he was also in the sight of the monks from Qianji Sect.
One can't hide his age from anyone, nor can he hide his spiritual level from others. However, Chen Huaisheng, who is in his twenties, has already established a foundation, which naturally attracts countless people's surprised looks.
Each sect has many talented and amazing disciples, but it is quite rare for someone to build a foundation at such a young age.
As they traveled along the way, the people on both sides soon became familiar with each other.
From entering Bianliang Prefecture to entering Bianjing City, there are still several hundred miles to go, but the road is wide and spacious, and you can ride the wind, or use the magic talisman to run fast.
You can also take a special carriage, which is a horse-drawn carriage. A carriage can carry more than ten people. It is spacious and light. Because it uses special spiritual materials and has some magic structures, it is quite suitable.
However, this kind of carriage can only be used to run on special post roads and official roads. Once it is used in the wild, it will not work, so it is generally only seen on official roads and post roads between major cities.
And the carriage also requires some spiritual power to control, so this has become a special profession for many Taoists.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Chonghua Sect and Qianji Sect chose to use the carriage to rush to Bianjing City.
It was also the first time for Chen Huaisheng to ride a carriage.
The front is driven by a running dragon.
This kind of carriage, which is made with a very sophisticated design structure, seems to use spiritual materials for wind resistance and shock absorption, so the driver only needs to inject some spiritual power to make the whole carriage float lightly, and then use the dragon horse to pull it, it can run.
This is probably the vehicle used in the world of cultivation.
This kind of carriage is available in major cities and some ferry hubs, but Chen Huaisheng has never had foreign food, and today is the first time.
There are also many female cultivators from the Chonghua Sect going to Bianjing. In addition to Fang Baoliu and Min Qingyu, there are ten other female cultivators, but most of them are in the initial stage of Qi training. Except for Bao Que and another female cultivator Gao Man in her forties who is in the seventh level of Qi training, and Jing Yang who is in his thirties and in the fifth level of Qi training, the others are in the initial stage of Qi training.
However, these disciples in the initial stage of Qi training are very young, mostly between ten and fifteen years old. At a glance, you can tell that they are disciples who have just entered the sect a few years ago, but they are all excellent in qualifications. It is obvious that this trip is mainly for experience and knowledge.
The situation of Qianji Sect is similar to that of Chonghua Sect.
Everyone is holding the idea of participating in the competition and gaining experience, and in this way, they continue to promote the growth of their own sect disciples.
From the situation of the disciples, it can be seen that the situation of Chonghua Sect is indeed very different from that of the previous years.
The number and composition of disciples have also changed significantly.
Originally, Chonghua Sect had a shortcoming in high-level Qi training disciples, and the number of young disciples who were truly expected to impact the foundation was scarce, but after Lingyun Sect and Ding Family joined in, the gap was filled at once.
In recent years, the quality and talents of new disciples recruited from Hebei and Yinan have also been greatly improved. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Chonghua Sect presents a thriving scene.
However, the hidden worries brought about by the rapid expansion of strength have also begun to emerge. The factions within the sect and the shortage of resources have begun to trouble the leaders.
If these problems cannot be solved in time, Chonghua Sect may fall into a new dilemma in the future.
The carriage arrived outside the city of Bianjing at the beginning of the evening.
After bidding farewell to the people of Qianji Sect, the people of Chonghua Sect all entered the Taoist temple of Chonghua Sect in Bianjing City.
Since last year, Chonghua Sect has also begun to expand its branch courtyard in Bianjing City. From the branch courtyard to the formal Taoist temple, it also means that Chonghua Sect has taken an important step.
Looking at the spacious Taoist temple, which is more than enough to accommodate thirty or fifty people, the quiet environment, the well-arranged houses, and the quite complete living facilities, it must be said that Guo Chongdao, the head of the Taoist temple, has done a good job.
But Chen Huaisheng knew that Guo Chongdao did not want to be the head of the Taoist temple in Bianjing City anymore.
He is not too old, and he is also eager to break through the foundation.
In the sect of cultivation, it comes down to the level of spiritual realm. No matter how well you do the general affairs, if you want to have a say in the sect in the future, you can only stand aside if your spiritual realm level is not enough.
Especially when seeing Cao Renben frequently break through the foundation, Gou Yiwei's broken ship restarted and successfully broke through the foundation again, this was too stimulating for Guo Chongdao.
Now Chen Huaisheng, the new disciple he had brought up, has actually built his foundation. How can Guo Chongdao feel?
Of course, he also knows that Chen Huaisheng has performed well since he entered the sect. In the past few years, he has experienced many ups and downs from cultivation to travel, so he can rise so fast. He does not want to be as brilliant as Chen Huaisheng, but he also longs to enter the core circle of power in the foundation building.
