Strange mountains and rivers

Outside Xiaogufeng Taoist Temple.

Looking at Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong coming slowly, Chen Huaisheng sighed inwardly.

The clearness in the eyes, the indifference in the corners of the eyebrows, and some complex emotions hidden in the eyes. After not seeing each other for more than a year, it seems that the relationship between myself and the two of them has returned to the past.

No, it shouldn't be that hostile, but that indescribable smell lingers among the three of them.

Of course Chen Huaisheng knew why they came.

Although the three direct disciples of the head of this year have not left the country, they were selected by the head of the academy and were identified as Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Tong Tong.

Chen Huaisheng ranked in front of Yuan Wenbo for the first time.

In fact, Chen Huaisheng didn't care too much about the identity of the head's direct disciple. Zhao Sitian was not the head's direct disciple, but he used his rapid progress and true strength to smash all the obstacles in front of him, and he deservedly became the young man of the Chonghua Sect. A genius of a generation.

Now Zhao Sitian has been in seclusion for a year and is working towards the eighth level of Qi refining.

A breakthrough that would take ordinary people five or ten years to pursue was only a matter of one or two years for him. Well, Chen Huaisheng can now say that the same is true for himself.

Chen Huaisheng even wanted to refuse the title on the grounds that he was over 20 years old and did not meet the standards of a disciple of the headmaster, but Li Yu objected on the grounds that he could not follow any rules if he broke the second level in a row.

In desperation, Chen Huaisheng could only accept it.

He is older than Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong.

But Yuan Wenbo has never accepted the reality that he is older than him. Perhaps in his mind, age does not mean he is older. Only those who are strong and have a high level are respected.

Tong Tong is slightly better.

Although she also calls herself Brother Huaisheng, and she also calls her Junior Sister Tong, she has never called her Senior Brother.

In their hearts, there is a clear distinction between being older and being a senior brother.

Now that there has been a sudden reversal, it is understandable that it is difficult to adapt to this contrast.

Even Chen Huaisheng could feel that Tong Tong's vague affection for him had been completely frozen at this moment.

"Brother Wenbo, Junior Sister Tong." Chen Huaisheng had slightly changed his titles.

The world of cultivation is so cruel. If someone is older than you but has a lower level than you, you can respect him as brother, but you cannot call him senior brother.

Unless no one cared about or cared about this from the beginning.

But between the three of them, it seemed like there was no such thing.

Yuan Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Huaisheng cleverly changed his tone of address and changed "Senior Brother Yuan" to "Brother Wenbo", which gave himself a step up.

Brother Wenbo is an honorific title without any real meaning. They are similar in age and have a close relationship. It is normal to call each other brother.

But if he calls himself "Senior Brother Yuan" again, in his opinion, it is a kind of humiliation to himself. Whether the other party does it intentionally or unintentionally, it means that the other party does not care about the meaning of the word "Senior Brother" in his heart, which means that He never cared that he was stronger than him.

Now that he has lost to him, he accepts it and wins back in the future. Then he can convince the other party to return the title "Senior Brother Yuan".

"Senior Brother Chen."

"Senior Brother Huaisheng."

After bowing to each other, Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Wenbo, Tong Tong, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. It feels like we have become strangers all of a sudden. It shouldn't be. After all, we are also senior brothers who work side by side and study together."

"Senior Brother Huaisheng, that's wrong. We haven't seen each other for more than a year. It's normal for us to feel a little uncomfortable. We just need to get used to each other." Tong Tong smiled cleverly and calmly positioned everyone's current situation. .

Chen Huaisheng's expression dimmed, "Is it really that important?"

The two chuckled and shook their heads in silence. It was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts. It may take time to test.

"That's fine." Chen Huaisheng took a deep breath and glanced at the two of them, "I believe you also know about the recruitment of each other, and we will work together in the future."

It wasn't until Chen Huaisheng left that Tong Tong glanced at Yuan Wenbo with a gloomy expression: "Brother Yuan, does this feel good?"

"No." Yuan Wenbo shook his head hesitantly, his eyes misty, "But if you want me to smile with peace of mind, I can't do it, and I even feel uncomfortable. It's not my habit to live under others, and it's not your style. So maybe keeping a certain distance now is the most suitable thing for you and me. Well, how to describe it, probably we are all like hedgehogs. If we get too close, we will hurt each other."

Yuan Wenbo's description was like being shocked by thunder and hearing thunder. Tong Tong was shocked, but also a little touched.

Watching Chen Huaisheng's figure floating away, I felt a faint bleeding feeling in my heart, as if I had really been pricked by a hedgehog's thorn.

Three days later, Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Tong Tong moved out of Chuangongyuan and entered Xiaogushan.

The two peaks of Xiaogushan and Xiaogushan face each other, and the pass divides the east and west.

The continuous mountains to the east are actually the continuation of Xiaogushan. Although they are not high, they stretch for more than a hundred miles to the southeast. This area is the exclusive land of the leader.

After cruising around in the wind, Chen Huaisheng was filled with emotion when he landed and stood still.

With a radius of more than ten miles, it is vast and green, with more than a dozen undulating mountains and peaks, and countless valleys and streams. This land belongs to you.

There is a cave and a Taoist temple.

There are spiritual springs everywhere, and one of them is a hot spring.

There are more than ten areas of spiritual land and spiritual fields, large and small, three of them are more than ten acres, and the largest one is more than thirty acres.

The place where the earth's spiritual energy is the richest and richest is simply a treasure, and the conditions are much better than the place where I first obtained the spiritual energy.

Perhaps compared with the elders and deacons, the only disadvantage is that they do not have the service of Taoist disciples.

It's just that this place has been abandoned for more than ten years.

The previous one has passed away, the one who reached the peak of Qi refining and attacked the foundation and went crazy and died.

Previously, the disciples who were in charge of the Taoist temple were worried that Chen Huaisheng would think this place was unlucky and would not want it, but Chen Huaisheng took it without hesitation after seeing it.

I control my own life.

Such a good Feng Shui treasure land is much better than other places.

It was obvious that the deceased was a leader among his direct disciples, but he might have failed due to his own reasons.

How could I care about this?

Think about it, more than a year ago, I was just an outer disciple, and more than three years ago, I was just a Taoist who had never entered Taoism, but now they are completely different.

With his heart racing, Chen Huaisheng certainly understood that as a direct disciple, as well as such extraordinary and high-standard treatment, he was afraid that behind it would be huge expectations and pressure from the spotlight.

The headmaster didn't say much, but Chen Huaisheng knew that it was necessary to improve his realm as soon as possible, and mentioned Zhao Sitian and Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaolin was originally going to become a direct disciple, but due to special reasons, he failed to do so. For any special reasons, the headmaster did not say.

The two of them were not direct disciples but performed extremely well, which put great pressure on the line of direct disciples.

It also gave the elders and deacons many reasons to criticize, believing that the sect had invested too many resources, but the results were mediocre.

Zhao Sitian's performance is truly incredible. At the age of thirty-seven, he is already reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining.

In other words, it is not impossible to build a foundation at the age of forty. If Chen Huaisheng hadn't personally witnessed Yu Fengqian's battlefield enlightenment and successfully built a foundation in his thirties, he really felt that Zhao Sitian was the ceiling.

It turned out that he didn't have much understanding of his direct disciples, and even had some disdain for them. Especially the fact that Zhao Sitian, as a non-direct disciple, had already surpassed these direct disciples, was even more fascinating.

But now that I have become a direct disciple, this feeling is different.

The challenge he faced was huge. Zhao Sitian was in front, but Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong were staring at him from behind. This did not make him feel nervous, but instead gave him some kind of surging motivation and ambition.

Perhaps the first thing to face is to attend the Bianjing Shangyuan Taoist Association.

Although it is unclear what the significance of participating in this Taoist meeting is, Chen Huaisheng can feel that the headmaster and the deacons and elders attach great importance to this Taoist meeting.

"Of course we take it seriously."

Taking the Guishan White Intestine Tea from Xiaoyan Peak's serving disciple, Chen Huaisheng expressed it with a smile. The disciple was also flattered and nodded repeatedly before retreating.

"Oh? Master, is there any reason here?" Chen Huaisheng said thoughtfully: "It seems that this Shangyuan Taoist meeting is mainly about the discussion of the new generation of cultivation disciples below the foundation. Is there anything special about it? ?”

"I won't say too much about the profound aspects, but I know that this is an opportunity to prove or show off the Chonghua Sect." Wu Tianen said in a solemn tone, "There are constant storms in Yi County, the weather is not good, and the tide of monsters rises in Yinan. First of all, the Lingyun Sect is in constant internal strife, the White Stone Sect is eyeing the enemy, and the Zijin Sect is taking advantage of the fire. We are alone and can only rely on our allies, but if we cannot show enough strength to our allies, maybe our allies will make choices."

"But what can junior qi refining disciples like us prove? It shouldn't be at a higher level..."

"You are wrong. It is precisely the performance of disciples at your level that can better prove the foundation of our sect, foundation building and even higher levels. If it is revealed, there will be no trump card."

Wu Tianen said calmly.

Chen Huaisheng's eyes lit up and he asked subconsciously: "Could it be that the head asked Ying Jie to succeed in the Zi Mansion?"

Wu Tianen was surprised, this guy reacted very quickly.

Smiling slightly, but not answering the question, Wu Tianen said to himself: "In short, you have to practice hard in the past few months, and you also have to think about your spells. Don't be greedy for more, just reach the peak of one or two sects. .”

"In addition, if you have any needs in other aspects, you can also put them forward. I only ask for one thing. You must improve your strength as soon as possible. The Shangyuan Taoist Association is related to the survival of the sect. Everyone who goes there must perform well. Xu Tianfeng, Yao Li Wei, Zhao Sitian, you, Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong are the most important..."
