Do not die

Meng Zhou didn't have any special ideas about Chu Zheng's intention to invite Yan Xiong to join his team.

After gently tapping Chu Zheng's thoughts, he did not discuss this topic in depth, but instead asked Chu Zheng for information about foundation building.

Although Chu Zheng's cultivation level is only at the sixth level of Qi training, he is a first-level top-grade Talisman Maker and is now a popular member of the Professionals Association. This information is easier for him than other casual cultivators in the later stages of Qi training. contact.

However, the result of the exchange made Meng Zhou quite disappointed.

Perhaps Chu Zheng's own cultivation level was too low and he was too old. Not to mention that there was no hope of building a foundation in this life, he was not sure whether he could successfully advance to the later stage of Qi training. He had long been discouraged about cultivation.

His current focus is on the association first and the making of talismans secondly. He has never paid attention to information such as foundation building that is of no use at all.

He knew a little more about foundation building than he did, but it was also very limited.

After a moment of silence, Meng Zhou's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He himself should pay more attention to this information, but on the other hand, the Professionals Association is such a good platform and channel, and it would be a waste not to use it.

After careful consideration in his mind, he said to Chu Zheng:

"I think the association is gradually heading towards another misunderstanding."

The relatively relaxed look on Chu Zheng's face was immediately shocked, and he asked in surprise: "What did the association do wrong?"

Meng Zhou shook his head:

“It’s not that I did anything wrong, but that I didn’t do enough and was biased.

If things go on like this, the upper limit and cohesion of the association will at best be stronger than the current forces in Nuanyun Valley. "

Chu Zheng thought to himself, isn't this enough? What more?

But of course he couldn't say this, otherwise, wouldn't it appear that he was too small-minded and too short-sighted?

After thinking about it, Chu Zheng asked for advice: "Where is the bias?"

Meng Zhou asked: "What is the purpose of the association? Does it have a clear and outlined goal?"

"Well……"

Chu Zheng didn't know how to answer his question, and even felt a little confused.

“The association complies with the inner needs of all professionals in Nuanyun Valley and wants to be the backing of all professionals. This can be regarded as a clear intention.

But this is really too shallow! "

“You have now basically opened up the trade cycle with Red Pine Ridge, relying on the association’s unique advantages to obtain a steady stream of resources, allowing the association to truly operate.

This is naturally good.

But if the association cares too much about the gains and losses in this area, it will continue to open up new trade cycles and earn more profits.

The Professionals Association has basically become a chamber of commerce organization with some special competitiveness. "

Listening to Meng Zhou's description of the deduction, Chu Zheng's real thought was, does this sound pretty good?

Before establishing the Professionals Association, how could he dare to imagine that he would still be in such a situation in his later years?

Being the founder of a new force that can rival forces like Zhen Fu Guan and Bai Yi Tang, or even surpass them, what else would he be dissatisfied with?

But again, he couldn't act too small in front of Brother Zhou, and look like he was a rich man with no ambition, so he looked serious and solemn on his face.

Meng Zhou looked at Yu Peng, who was listening on the side, and then looked at Chu Zheng.

"I discovered a very interesting phenomenon. From a mortal to a Taoist practitioner, who doesn't have a dream in his heart of achieving Taoism and immortality?

But except for the innocent young people, few people dared to express such thoughts. It seemed that this was a very embarrassing and shameful thing.

It is true that for the vast majority of casual cultivators, if the spiritual stones are enough, and they can safely reach the late stage of Qi training, they must try their best and have enough talent and luck.

For them, foundation building is a luxury, and there is no benefit in talking about those unreachable thoughts. It is better to be short-sighted and down-to-earth.

For individual casual cultivators, there is nothing wrong with being more pragmatic.

But if a force is like this, then it is too hopeless, and its upper limit must not be high. "

Chu Zheng listened carefully to these words and was quite touched by him.

Meng Zhou looked at Chu Zheng and asked, "Brother, have you ever considered this question?"

"What?" Chu Zheng asked.

"There are members of the association who are talented and talented. One day, they suddenly feel that the roof of the association is too small and can no longer be their refuge. Instead, it has become a drag. They want to leave the association and seek better development elsewhere. The association should how to respond?"

Chu Zheng was startled when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

As people go to higher places, this is especially true for practitioners.

Pursuing a higher avenue is a matter of course, and it is the most "absolutely correct" consensus in the spiritual world.

Even close relatives such as parents, wives and children can become enemies of life and death if they obstruct people from seeking the truth, let alone a mere professional association.

Therefore, if any association member uses this reason to leave and go solo, the association has no reason or position to say "no".

“This kind of thing has not happened yet, but it will definitely happen in the future.

Looking at the entire Nuanyun Valley, many monks in the late stages of Qi training leave every year, right?

Many of them are high-level leaders of major forces.

In the future, this kind of thing will be inevitable in the association, right? "

Chu Zheng finally sighed helplessly and said, "What can we do? We can't tie a chain around their ankles, right?"

Meng Zhou smiled and said:

“That’s why I say intention is very important.

Why is it that once someone moves away, it is assumed that they have left the power?

It is because they are beyond reach, and more importantly because they are self-aware that the forces trapped in a corner can no longer bring any help to others.

What’s the point of continuing to maintain the original relationship? "

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's eyes suddenly opened wider, and he had vaguely heard some clues.

“The biggest difference between professional associations and traditional forces is that they are very weakly dependent on geography and resources.

What is powerless to forces like the True Talisman Hall and Baiyi Hall is not completely unsolvable for the Professionals Association! "

Chu Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he opened his mouth to clarify the unfinished meaning of Meng Zhou's words.

“The only key is whether the association can continue to bring value and help to them!

As long as this can be done, the association will not only not suffer losses due to the departure of outstanding members, but will continue to spread its tentacles outward. "

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "It seems that I have already figured it out very clearly."

Chu Zheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "You have put food in my mouth. If I still can't figure it out, wouldn't I be too stupid?"

Afterwards, the two discussed this a lot.

It was finally determined that in addition to continuing to fully cooperate with all parties to develop the trade cycle, the Professionals Association should also use the unique advantages of the association to organize, improve and develop various career paths.

At the same time, in view of the fact that the professionals in the association are basically casual practitioners, the association should also actively collect and sort out various information during the Qi training period and even the foundation building period in order to help the growth of association members.

As long as the association can continue to output value, then even if those outstanding members leave Nuanyun Valley, thousands of miles away, and grow into foundation builders or second-level professionals, there is no need to worry about being alienated from each other and becoming strangers.

Meng Zhou reminded: "If that happens, you, the Hua Shi members, should step aside."

Chu Zheng smiled and said: "I wish I could come earlier that day."

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Zhou and emphasized:

"Also, it's not you, it's us!

Are you not one of our Huashi members? If we want to retreat, let’s retreat together. "

Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "That's really hard to say!"

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Meng Zhou's words.

Meng Zhou said seriously: "Brother, after a while, unless you really can't shirk it, you won't introduce any more patients."

"Ah? Why?" Chu Zheng didn't understand why Meng Zhou suddenly mentioned this matter.

Meng Zhou said: "I plan to spend more time on personal practice."

"Ah?!" Chu Zheng exclaimed. He finally reacted and said, "You don't want to attack the foundation, do you?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "Of course, I have broken through to the late stage of Qi training. I am only one or two steps away from foundation building. Of course I have to work hard to attack!"

Chu Zheng opened his mouth and found that besides encouragement and blessings, he really had nothing to say.

"Okay, then I wish you in advance... success in building the foundation, and hope for the great road!"

Meng Zhou turned to look at Yu Peng, who was listening carefully to one side, and said, "I have a suggestion."

"Uncle Zhou, tell me!" Yu Peng said quickly.

"Although you have a talent for making talismans, how stunning and beautiful you are...I didn't see it anyway."

Meng Zhou's comments made Yu Peng a little embarrassed, staring down at his toes.

"In the past, you spent a lot of time learning and making talismans because it was your way of making a living, and you couldn't do it without learning.

But things are different now. Your biggest task is not to make much progress in making talismans, but to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible.

If we can advance to the late stage of Qi training one day earlier, the success rate of attacking the foundation will be greater! "

"Me? Impact...foundation?"

Yu Peng's mouth opened wide. Before hearing this sentence, there was no way he would associate himself with "foundation building".

"What's wrong with you? You're still young now, and you still have a chance. But if you delay for a few more years, your teacher will just save a fortune, and in the end he will only be able to take advantage of others."

Chu Zheng and Yu Peng reacted, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, your uncle Zhou is right, you should spend more time on cultivation."
