Strange Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 467 Volume D: Sunset and Old Friendship (Second Update, Please Vote!)

Strength is always the first priority, and general affairs should also serve one's own practice. Chen Huaisheng is quite clear about this.

Wu Tianen has such a deep experience, but he cannot go to the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda because of his insufficient spiritual realm strength. This is the most obvious example.

But if you gain more power in general affairs, you can greatly benefit yourself in practice resources and make the path of practice easier and smoother. This is an indisputable fact.

It's a pity that the strength in my hands is too poor now. Hu Delu, Sanderling and Zhao Liangkui are still struggling in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and they are still far from advancing to the high stage of Qi Refining.

A hero has three helpers, and a fence has three stakes. I obviously have the opportunity to go to the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda, but there is no one around me who can show off. This makes Chen Huaisheng sigh helplessly.

Of course, even if there are people around me, now is not the best time. My qualifications and connections are still an irreparable shortcoming.

But he declined the good job of going to the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda, and his master and uncle did not even say that they would give him some compensation in other ways. Chen Huaisheng was still a little disappointed.

Can't you two see that he is in a tight financial situation now?

The head of the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda can get a salary of 6,000 spiritual stones a month. He gave up this position for them. Can't he give himself 10,000 or 20,000 spiritual stones as a reward?

These can only be thought of. Chen Huaisheng flew back to Yunzhong Mountain. When he landed in front of the White Deer Cave Mansion in Yunzhong Mountain, he felt that there seemed to be guests, and there were quite a few.

He was a little surprised. Could it be that the news that he broke through the third level was spread in the sect?

This matter could not be concealed. The head and the uncles knew about it, and it would spread soon. Chen Huaisheng didn't care. It was just a little surprised that someone came to visit so soon.

But when he stepped into the Taoist temple and saw Yun Lei reflected in the picture, he asked and found out that it was not the case. It was Chi Mei's friend who came to visit as scheduled. It was an appointment that he had made before he came out of retreat.

When Xuan Chimei and others left Daxian Mountain, there were about 30 to 40 Yuanhe Sect disciples following them. However, in the following two years, more than ten people left Tianyun Sect and joined Chonghua Sect.

These people also attached themselves to Tianyun Sect at the beginning, but later they felt that Tianyun Sect discriminated against them, so they mustered up the courage to leave. Some of them became independent cultivators, and some took the initiative to come to Hebei.

Although Xuan Chimei's spiritual realm level was not high, she was still quite influential with the title of genius at the beginning. Now that she has entered Chonghua Sect, people of the same age as her take the initiative to approach her and stick together more.

However, Xuan Chimei's choice to move to Bailu Daoyuan in Yunzhong Mountain still surprised many people.

Although Chen Huaisheng also has the title of genius, and his performance is indeed worthy of it. No one can ignore his identity as the youngest foundation-building person, but Chen Huaisheng is an old Chonghua disciple, and Xuan Chimei is one of the best geniuses in the original Yuanhe Sect. Many people are still uncomfortable with her active attachment.

Only people like Yu Xianxian, Wei Wuyang, Xu Beihuai, Ling Fan, and Zhang Zhiruo who had experienced the night in the small temple that day knew the origin of the two.

When Yu Xianxian saw Chen Huaisheng coming in with a smile, the shock in her heart could not be described in words.

They came here at the invitation of Xuan Chimei.

Xuan Chimei settled in Bailu Daoyuan, and this action made many disciples from Yuanhe Sect have some opinions about her.

Uncle Duguo was still recuperating from his injuries and could not come forward to gather the original disciples of Yuanhe Sect. Of course, Uncle Duguo would not do so on the surface, but at least there was a backbone.

The current situation of the Chonghua Sect is that even if you don’t want to "form a clique", people will subconsciously look at you in this way.

Like Yuhan Sect and Lingyun Sect, where you come from, as long as you say your name, people will mark you in their hearts.

Uncle Duguo was unable to show up, and although there were still two or three foundation-building disciples in Yuanhe Sect, they were not young, and their influence was far less than that of Xuan Chimei, who was less than 20 years old. So everyone actually hoped that Xuan Chimei could hold up this banner before Uncle Duguo recovered from his injury, but Xuan Chimei disappointed them.

The current situation of the disciples of Yuanhe Sect is very bad.

Because Uncle Duguo was injured and recuperated, almost no one in the sect could speak for them. Most of the disciples were left in the Transmission Academy, living a tight life, with a rare monthly salary and no other means. Many people were unwilling to live this kind of life, but they didn't know how to change it.

What if they left Chonghua Sect? Become a casual cultivator? Disciples like them who are at the Qi training level are the most embarrassed. After leaving, the life of uncertainty may be even more difficult.

Yu Xianxian is currently at the stage of Qi Refining Level 5, which is neither good nor bad. It is the time when a lot of resources are needed to support and accelerate the promotion. However, there are many talents in the sect now. If you want to get more resources, you have to have a way.

According to the current sect regulations, you can build a cave in the mountain and set up a mansion after building the foundation, as long as you can afford it.

Similarly, you can report to the Transmission Institute to open a cave and set up a mansion. Disciples who are willing to follow you can practice in your Taoist cave.

At the same time, you can also report to the Internal Affairs Institute to recruit Taoists and mortals outside the mountain to cultivate spiritual land on the territory assigned to you, plant spiritual plants and raise monsters.

Opening a cave and setting up a mansion sounds very glorious, but the expenses involved are a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

Whether you recruit disciples or people are willing to follow you, you have to take care of their cultivation needs. Spiritual food and materials, and materials needed for cultivation are all indispensable.

If you are timid and stingy, your true colors will be revealed over time, and people will naturally abandon you.

Chen Huaisheng's Bailudong Mansion and Taoist Temple are already quite large, recruiting dozens of Taoists and mortals. At the same time, although he has not yet recruited disciples, there are many people who follow him.

Especially for a foundation builder like him who is less than thirty years old and has six or seven people following him, it is quite rare.

The addition of Xuan Chimei increased the reputation of Chen Huaisheng and Bailu Taoist Academy. Even the Yuanhe Sect disciples and friends who had previously been incomprehensible and even somewhat dissatisfied with Xuan Chimei had an attitude after Xuan Chimei quickly advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining. There have also been some changes.

After advancing to the high level of Qi refining, the difficulty of going up further will be even greater, and the demand for various spiritual materials will be greater. Xuan Chimei joined Bailu Taoist Academy and advanced to the eighth level of Qi refining less than half a year later. She still gave it to Yuan He Sect. Many disciples were greatly touched.

Among the original disciples of the Yuan He Sect, there were also three Foundation Builders, but only one of them went to open a cave and establish a mansion, and also attracted some disciples to follow him.

But now it seems that the situation of that foundation builder is not good. There are many disciples following him, but the feedback feedback is not satisfactory.

On the contrary, Xuan Chimei, the leader in everyone's minds, is still making progress.

Chen Huaisheng was also stunned when he saw Yu Xianxian. He didn't expect that Yu Xianxian was here too.

After not seeing each other for several years, Yu Xianxian's appearance has almost remained unchanged, except for being slightly more elegant and indifferent, and a little melancholy.

From the first time we met seven years ago, she must have been at the third level of Qi Refining at that time. In seven years, she advanced from the second level to the fifth level of Qi Refining. It is not slow, but it is definitely not fast.

But compared with Xuan Chimei, it is really too slow.

"Senior Sister Yu."

Chen Huaisheng was just stunned for a moment and then greeted with a smile, "It's a rare visit to our White Deer Taoist Temple, but I'm not at the Taoist Temple. I'm sorry."

Chen Huaisheng's words "Senior Sister Yu" made Yu Xianxian's heart warm.

He still has that kind of gentle and moderate attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant, with clear eyes and handsome face, but he is a little more determined and calm than the last time we met.

Does Chi Mei really want to be his Taoist companion? I heard that he already has a Taoist companion who is much older than him. Is Ehuang Nvying working with the same husband?

But it didn't seem unacceptable. Yu Xianxian had such an idea in his mind for no reason.

Such a handsome and talented person, who is already in the middle of building a foundation when he is only twenty-seven, maybe he will be less than forty when he reaches the Zi Mansion?

"Senior Brother Chen, you are too polite. We just heard from Junior Sister Chi Mei that you have advanced to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. We were all still a little unbelievable. Now that we see you, we realize that there really are miracles and myths in this world. "

After Yu Xianxian's face heated up, he quickly returned to his bright and cheerful smile.

Yu Xianxian's smile dazzled Chen Huaisheng.

Wearing a goose-yellow trousers over her lavender bra, and her black hair hanging in a bun on the back of her head, she looks graceful and graceful, with a pair of skillful hands folded together and cupped, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Although he was lost for a moment and regained his clarity immediately, Chen Huaisheng still knew that he liked Yu Xianxian's appearance and smile because they were in line with his own aesthetics.

Although he was four or five years older than himself, he still called him senior brother, but Chen Huaisheng didn't feel any discomfort.

The titles within the sect are somewhat confusing. Some are called according to age, some are called according to seniority of master and disciple, and some are called according to their level of cultivation.

"Senior Sister Yu is too praised, it's just a fluke." Chen Huaisheng shook his head indifferently, "Senior Sister Yu came here alone?"

"No, there are Wu Yang, Sad Huai and Zhi Ruo. We have just arrived. Zidan was supposed to be here too, but he hasn't arrived yet, so I came out to take a look. I didn't expect you to come back."

While Yu Xianxian was talking, Xuan Chimei also heard the words and came out. She was very happy to see Chen Huaisheng and Yu Xianxian chatting and laughing.

Chen Huaisheng entered the house with Xuan Chimei and Yu Xianxian, and saw Wei Wuyang, Xu Beihuai and Zhang Zhiruo, and he was also happy.

No matter what, it is worthwhile to be able to see a few people I was familiar with seven years ago.

At least everyone survived the accident two years ago. This is the best outcome.

Wei Wuyang, Zhang Zhiruo and Xuan Chimei were all in the Yuanhe Sect, while Xu Beihuai was in the Yuhan Sect, and Ling Fan was in the Yaolian Sect. They didn't expect to come to Hebei.

If we add that Shu Zidan, the only person left that night seems to be Yao Wenzhong. At this moment, Chen Huaisheng's impression seems to become particularly clear.
