Strange mountains and rivers

On Jinyuntai.

He Zhuo and his party faced off against Peng Youshu.

Peng Youshu advanced to the second level of Qi Refining about half a year later than Zhao Wuyou and Hu Delu.

His spiritual root is earthy, and he values ​​weight and stability. The broad-leaf giant sword in his hand is more than three times wider than an ordinary long sword, and its weight is ten times that of an ordinary magic sword.

Although he was promoted to the rank more than a year earlier than Zhuo Yixing, Peng Youshu did not dare to look down upon this young man who had risen astonishingly.

"Junior Brother Zhuo, please!"

"Senior Brother Peng, please."

After Zhuo Yiyi finished speaking, he made a vague stroke with an ordinary magic sword in his hand, raised his hand and pointed: "Senior Brother Peng, you are a senior brother, just take action..."

Peng Youshu took a deep breath. Since the other party wanted to pretend to be generous, he was no longer rigid.

There are only two places for the outer hall this time. He knows very well that if he wants to get ahead, he can't even think about it if he doesn't step over this guy. There are Hu Delu and Zhao Wuyou over there, so it will be even more difficult.

Heiran spoke, Peng Youshu held the sword in both hands and pointed it at his face. An earthy-colored air wave suddenly emitted from the table. Before the air wave could rush out, Peng Youshu raised it horizontally and yanked it. The sword energy suddenly flipped, forming a huge cross shape. Hu La La tears the air on the stage and attacks the opponent directly.

Zhuo Yixing's body swayed, and the powerful sword energy passed by. The magic sword in his hand swung, and a sword force that was as sharp as a hairspring but as thin as a gossamer struck out from the tip of the sword almost without anyone noticing.

"Be careful, Senior Brother Peng!"

As soon as the sword came out, Zhuo Yixing no longer held back his hand, he leaped up, and struck out thirty-two swords with the magic sword in a row. The gossamer-like sharp sword energy quickly woven into a tight net, sweeping over with a hissing scream. to.

Peng Youshu's expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect that the opponent's sharp gold sword energy was of such a high level. With a few moves, he could block all his dodge angles.

But Peng Youshu had the confidence to dare to go on stage. He took a deep breath and slashed wildly with his giant sword, just like a giant ax opening a mountain to open a path.

At the same time, the thick earth's chaotic body protection magic power was activated, and he lunged forward with a fierce thrust, heading straight towards his opponent.

Zhuo and his party seemed to have been prepared for Peng Youshu's tactics. He never planned to contend with the opponent for too long. There were competitors behind him, and he needed to fight quickly.

The left hand was clenched into a fist, first retracted, and then with a strange rotation and twist, he punched forward fiercely. Strong blue energy was generated in the eye of the fist, like a vortex-shaped cyclone that was impacting forward, driving the surroundings. The airflow rushes forward.

The gyro cloud is broken!

Just this blow hit the front of Peng Youshu who was running towards him, and broke through the chaotic magic power that Peng Youshu was creating while raising his energy. Then, a sharp golden sword energy pierced in like a poisonous snake looking for its nest.

The heart-wrenching blow made Peng Youshu couldn't help but scream. He could no longer hold the giant sword in his hand and fell on the table. The field control monk used a simple Qi replenishment technique to help Peng You recover and then stopped him. The contact between the two parties indicates that Zhuo and his party will win.

There are two moves in total, first to lure the enemy, and then to lure the enemy deep into the enemy, killing them with one strike.

"In this game, Zhuo and his team won. In the next game, Hu Delu will face Qin Zeju."

Chen Huaisheng is not very interested in Hu Delu playing against Qin Zeju.

If even Qin Zejuhu Delu can't be solved, then he'd better not go to Bianjing to embarrass himself.

What Chen Huaisheng is interested in is the realm of magic shown by Zhuo Yixing.

Although he is only at the second level of Qi Refining and is so proficient in metal-type spells, the timing does not seem to be good, and he is defeating him head-on. Chen Huaisheng cannot figure out whether Zhuo Yixing wants to use this method to show his strength, or whether he wants to use He uses his lack of experience to hide his strength.

Hu Delu neatly used the dual-attribute spell [Xuan Tu Hearing Thunder] to eliminate Qin Zeju, making Qin Zeju convinced that he had lost, but the envy and regret in his eyebrows could not go away.

The showdown between Zhao Wuyou and Sandeling did not have much suspense. Zhao Wuyou also had no attribute spiritual roots, but his flexible and unpredictable spells also made it difficult for Sandeling to resist, and he was quickly defeated.

The last three winners became Zhuo Yixing, Zhao Wuyou, and Hu Delu.

Chen Huaisheng could see that there was no doubt that Zhuo and his party were superior among the three, and even the opponent still had some strength left. Although they were only at the second level of Qi Refining, Chen Huaisheng felt that even if they faced each other in the middle hall except Yuan Wenbo, , Tong Tong, other third level Qi refining, this guy will not be much inferior.

His golden spells are quite powerful and difficult for ordinary people to resist.

If Hu Delu wanted to go to the Bianjing Taoist Association, he would have to fight Zhao Wuyou.

But Zhao Wuyou's level is not bad either.

However, soon there was news from the Chuan Gong Academy that Zhuo Yixing, Zhao Wuyou and Hu Delu were all allowed to go to Bianjing, which was equivalent to an extra spot in the faction and there was no need to compete again.

"The number of places in the inner hall and the middle hall has been reduced, so there is one more place for the outer hall." Yuan Wenbo also has his own information channel: "According to the Dao Palace, it encourages the younger generation of disciples to compete, so the faction also made some Adjustment, in addition to Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Brother Zhao, there will only be one other person in the inner hall, and the three of us in the middle hall will be five people, well, all are required to be disciples under fifty."

I have to say that the structure of the disciples sent by Chonghua to Bianjing for the meeting is still different from other sects.

Like other sects where young disciples draw a line at fifty to select outstanding disciples, most of them will be at the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining, or even the seventh or eighth level.

But the Chonghua Sect is different. Xu Tianfeng is all in his fifties, except for Zhao Sitian, who is thirty-six, and the other disciple in the inner hall is also in his early sixties.

However, the disciples here in the middle hall are those under fifty years old and only have the fourth level of Qi refining. If they are at the fifth level of Qi refining, those who have the sixth level of Qi refining are basically over fifty, such as Yun He, Luo Xiuyue and Cai Jinyang. Fifty or more.

This also means that the disciple structure of the Chonghua Sect is somewhat unhealthy. Excellent disciples have failed to form a ladder structure, and a fault has appeared.

From the fifth level of Qi refining to the eighth level of Qi refining, there is a lack of young disciples. Young refers to disciples between thirty-five and fifty years old.

For those who are over fifty or even sixty or seventy years old and are still in the middle stage of Qi refining, their future achievements are obviously unlikely to be too high.

Among the five people in the middle hall, in addition to Chen and Yuan Tong, there are still two places.

Originally, Fang Baoqi could be counted as one, but she had been "traveling" outside and could not be contacted, so Cai Jinyang successfully entered.

The other one is Lu Wenshen who fought side by side with Chen Huaisheng in the battle of Tianzhai.

He spent more than a month recuperating after the injury, and Chen Huaisheng even visited him.

Later, the sect also took good care of him and gave him some spiritual materials and elixirs, so he recovered very quickly. He was also promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining in the middle of the year. In terms of age, he was one or two years younger than Cai Jinyang.

Speaking of which, the Chonghua sect is really not that big. After going back and forth, Chen Huaisheng got to know most of the people who went to Bianjing to attend the Shangyuan Taoist meeting.

"It seems that each of these families is paying more and more attention to their future prospects. Just relying on some old people to support the scene does not feel like it is enough to reflect the strength of the sect."

Chen Huaisheng said something with emotion, which also resonated with Tong Tong.

"Originally, like some of the old people in the sect who are living in corpse positions, their own strength has declined rapidly, and they are basically unable to contribute to the sect. However, they still occupy various resources, have a bigger appetite than anyone else, and even use power for personal gain for their own family. Children or relatives and friends are reaping benefits. If this continues, who will be willing to join such a sect? How can our Chonghua Sect attract outstanding talents to join?"

Tong Tong's words made both Chen Huaisheng and Yuan Wenbo frown, feeling that Tong Tong's words meant something.

"Junior Sister Tong's words are very targeted." Yuan Wenbo smiled, "Didn't our Chonghua Sect just reform some rules? The number of new disciples recruited every year has doubled, and they are no longer limited to our Langling Mansion. Even the surrounding counties are included..."

"The number of people has indeed increased, but is it too late? Without thirty to fifty years of accumulation, these new disciples will not be able to become talents. Moreover, when new disciples come in, they will also need more spiritual materials and elixirs of all kinds. How to meet the needs?" Tong Tong Still unfinished: "We, the Chinese-Chinese faction, are still too conservative. Look at the performance of Longyanfang City..."

There were only three people, so Tong Tong didn't have so many scruples when speaking: "It stands to reason that Longyanfang City earns a lot of money every year, but Zheng Zeyuan has controlled Longyanfang City for twenty years, how many resources has it provided to the sect? Now that he is dead, but he My children and grandchildren are still living in Longyanfang City, asking for all kinds of special treatment, and doing whatever they want..."

Tong Tong's origin. Both Yuan Wenbo and Chen Huaisheng knew that Tong Baichuan was the deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was closely related to Longyanfang City. It was obvious that Tong Tong should have learned some inside information from his uncle.

In fact, Chen Huaisheng also learned some information from Wu Tianen.

Zheng Zeyuan has not thought about making progress in the past twenty years. Not only has his cultivation deteriorated significantly, but he has also cooperated with outsiders in Longyanfang City to gain benefits for his family. However, because he was the one who strongly supported Shang Jiuling as the head of the family, Shang Jiuling was motivated by a reward mentality. He was asked to take charge of Longyanfang City, but he did not expect to end up in this situation.

Chen Huaisheng is not sure whether it is because the Chonghua Sect has extremely superior "land" and "financial" conditions but failed to make good use of them, so that the thousand-year-old Chonghua Sect is not as good as Baishimen and Lingyun Sect, which are only two or three hundred years old. The upstarts will be coveted by foreign enemies if these two families steal the limelight.

Tong Tong now said this in front of himself and Yuan Wenbo. Chen Huaisheng felt that Tong Tong did not have this wisdom. Maybe he had Tong Baichuan's instruction and deliberately said this in front of him and Yuan Wenbo, either as a test or to let others know.

"Zheng Zeyuan is dead, and his children and grandchildren are nothing more than making a fuss." Yuan Wenbo hesitated, "But there are still some old people in the sect who occupy a lot of resources. The president, deacons and elders should consider After looking at these specific issues, the Bianjing Taoist Association can actually be regarded as an opportunity, forcing us to make changes in Chonghua."

Chen Huaisheng said nothing.

We are starting to change now, is it still too late?

Like Deacon Ou Qingchun, Elder Yang Delong, and Elder Sun Yicheng who is now in charge of Longyanfang City, they all have vested interests, so how can they let go?

In fact, Sun Yicheng and Zheng Zeyuan are no different. Their strength has declined rapidly. At most, they are only at the first level of foundation building. Yang Delong is probably about the same. Ou Qingchun may be slightly better, but if you look at the situation in Zhikeyuan, you will know that they are not much better.

In addition, the so-called high-level qi-refining Zhike in Zhike Yuan are pampered and living their lives leisurely. It is no wonder that the last time these people were sent out to pursue and fight, all of them were afraid of the enemy and performed badly.

Is it possible for such a Chonghua sect to go to Bianjing Shangyuan Taoist Association to prove it?

Chen Huaisheng's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
