Strange mountains and rivers

Seeing Xuan Chimei's apologetic look, Chen Huaisheng felt guilty for no reason.

What does this have to do with Chi Mei?

Is it her turn to comment on the Nine Lotus Sect’s affairs?

She is a genius in cultivation, but among the more than a thousand disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect, even though she is extremely talented, she is still only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

If you want to truly stand out in the Nine Lotus Sect, you still have a long way to go.

As for having the right to speak in matters like this in the Nine Lotus Sect, if you can be ranked in the Purple Mansion in twenty or thirty years, maybe you can.

Chen Huaisheng even asked himself, if he were the decision-maker of Jiulian Sect, would he make such a decision?

It's really hard to say.

The butt determines the head.

"Chi Mei, I'm sorry, Brother Yu is a little out of his mind. This has nothing to do with you in the first place."

Chen Huaisheng propped his elbows on the table in front of him and rubbed his face.

"Perhaps I am a little restless thinking about facing a completely unfamiliar environment and not knowing what kind of dangers and challenges I will face."

"No, Brother Huaisheng, the Jiulian Sect did not consider this matter properly. We do have some difficulties, but as the leader of the alliance, we should consider the difficulties of our allies instead of only considering our own interests. This will make us lose Reputation, this is actually more gain than loss,..."

Xuan Chimei hesitated for a moment, then added: "Actually, we had a lot of internal arguments at the time, but in the end..."

Seeing Xuan Chimei finally shaking his head, Chen Huaisheng understood that in the end, more people might choose to protect their own interests.

"Understood." Chen Huaisheng also nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. It's a done deal. We should look forward. Now I'm thinking about how to open up the situation in Hebei. Don't just go there. If you are the target of public criticism and are besieged by casual cultivators, alien cultivators and local sects and aristocratic families, and are unable to stand firm, then it will really become a joke."

Xuan Chimei frowned, "Brother Huaisheng, the possibility you mentioned is really possible. I heard that the power of casual cultivators and alien cultivators over there is very strong. In addition, monsters are everywhere, and the local sects and families are... We can only form a stronghold to protect ourselves, or even take shelter from those casual cultivators to act as our wings."

Chen Huaisheng was surprised, "The sect's family takes care of the casual cultivators and acts as their wings? Are those casual cultivators so powerful?"

Xuan Chimei shook her head, "My little sister doesn't know the specific situation, but I heard Master said that among the casual cultivators in Hebei, there are many Zifus, and even the ancestors of Jindan. Among the different cultivators, those who should ascend during the tribulation almost every other You can hear about it in two or three years..."

A different cultivator's ascension in response to a calamity means that he has achieved enlightenment like Xiong Zhuang's, which is similar to how a human's cultivation reaches the Purple Mansion and is truly accomplished.

A cultivator who cannot pass this level will at most have peak foundation-building strength, just like Xiong Zhuang's current state.

If it takes two or three years for a cultivator to transcend the tribulation and ascend, it would be a bit scary, which means that the number of cultivators is quite large. One person who succeeds in transcending the tribulation and ascending often has countless others who failed to transcend the tribulation.

Chen Huaisheng's suspicious eyes fell on Xuan Chimei's face, "Chi Mei, your master is very familiar with Hebei?"

Xuan Chimei hesitated for a long time before whispering: "My master is originally from Hebei. She should have escaped, but it was a hundred years ago. It seems that master has relatives in Hebei and occasionally moves around." ."

"Then why didn't Master You bring those relatives to Zhao?" Chen Huaisheng was surprised and confused.

"The people of this clan have long taken root there, and it is hard to leave their homeland. And is Da Zhao any better than Hebei?" Xuan Chimei's words were a little more philosophical, "You can really live well anywhere. It won’t be bad, but will poor people become rich and healthy when they come to Da Zhao?”

One sentence made it difficult for Chen Huaisheng to answer the question.

When I returned to my residence, it was still the same place.

Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng were both reading the volume of information carefully and checking it against the map.

Choose one of the three, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The area of ​​Xuankong Mountain is a little smaller, but there are not many spiritual places around it, and the environment is relatively safe.

The terrain of Wolong Ridge is complex and the surrounding conditions are not very good. However, the original Wolong Village ruins can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

This is the location of the original mountain gate of Dongxuan Sect, a sect that has been destroyed in the Middle Ages. There must be something extraordinary about being chosen as the mountain gate by the sect.

But why the Dongxuan Sect was lost in the long river of history? Whether it is related to this mountain gate is unknown.

Qibao Gang is also good, but the terrain there is relatively low and broken, and its aura is not as good as Xuankong Mountain and Wolong Ridge.

In addition, there are many human families around, but it is very close to the river. Across the river is Jijun, and there is Huoluoze nearby.

Huoluoze is a famous Lingze in Hebei. It is rich in products, but it has also attracted the covetousness of many forces. For many years, local sects and clans in Hebei have chosen to settle here. Once you choose here, it means you have to face these problems head-on. competition of power.

"Huai Sheng, are you back?" Wang Yao shook the paper in his hand, "Let's take a look. It's very detailed, but there isn't much deeper stuff. We have to figure it out ourselves, and we have to go there separately. Inquiring, relying on this alone, can only know a superficial situation."

"Senior brother, I took a look and asked. I can't choose Xuankong Mountain. Except for a few spiritual places, there is nothing special about it. Of course, the advantage is that it is relatively safe, but it is only relative."

Chen Huaisheng directly stated his point of view: "Wolong Ridge and Qibao Gang each have their own advantages. The former is farther away from Da Zhao, and it is close to a thousand miles away from the river. Moreover, it is said that there are many monsters and strange cultivators around it, and casual cultivators regard it as The hunting ground used for training has the biggest safety problem, but the surrounding mountains, basins and valleys are rich in products and the population is not small. The Dongxuan Sect must have selected it as the mountain gate after repeated screening..."

"The advantage of Qibao Gang is that it has the largest population and the most spiritual fields and spiritual lands around it, but it has slightly less other products. It is also not far from Ji County. If there is an accident, you can ask for help from the Nine Lotus Sect as soon as possible..."

Speaking of this, Chen Huaisheng suddenly said: "Actually, nowhere can be said to be safe, especially in Hebei. Since safety cannot be guaranteed, then we might as well choose another place with better conditions. In addition, the Taiwu Mountain chosen by Lingyun Sect happens to be in Between Wolong Ridge and Qibao Gang, maybe Lingyun Sect will be a helper for us."

"Lingyun Sect will be our helper?" Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng were both surprised. "Taiwu Mountain is 1,200 miles away from Wolong Ridge, and it is more than 800 miles away from Qibao Hill. How can we say it will be our helper?"

Hebei is a vast territory, not much smaller than Da Zhao, but its population is less than half of Da Zhao, especially the population in the west is even smaller.

"I think it will be difficult for Lingyun Sect to persist in Hebei. Maybe it will end up with the same fate as Dongxuan Sect in the end. Then maybe we can take over these disciples of Lingyun Sect..."

Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng both couldn't believe it and couldn't understand why Chen Huaisheng had such an opinion.

"Huaisheng, why do you think so? Although Lingyun Sect has encountered some problems, it is not as unsustainable as you said, right? What problems do you think they will encounter? The problems they may encounter, we It's the same possible encounter, so you think we can be safe and sound, while they will fall?"

"I can't tell, but I just don't think highly of them. If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see." Chen Huaisheng shook his head, looking at the confused expressions of the two people, he didn't bother to explain more.

As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Huaisheng."

Chen Huaisheng was stunned and thought it sounded familiar. Then he remembered that when he went to Jiulian Sect, he didn't go to visit Tang Jingtian. Unexpectedly, he came to visit him.

He quickly went out to say hello and welcomed the other party in. Only then did he introduce Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng.

Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng were also surprised how Chen Huaisheng was so familiar with these people in the Jiulian Sect, and Tang Jingtian was also a leading figure in the Young Sect of the Jiulian Sect and had a good reputation.

After exchanging a few words, Wang Yao and Xu Tianfeng left knowingly, leaving only Chen Huaisheng and Wang Yao.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Tang Jingtian and Chen Huaisheng simply went out for a walk: "It seems that they won't be able to go to the East China Sea in a short time? I originally planned to ask you to go to Peach Blossom Island together, but it has been delayed for two years."

"Well, it will definitely not work in a short time. At least I have to wait until I get a foothold in Hebei. Maybe I can go to the East China Sea in the spring of next year. I am still thinking about the many good things on Peach Blossom Island." Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Why, you miss me so much?"

Tang Jingtian shook his head slightly, but his face showed a look of fascination.

"It's nothing, but you really should go to the Peach Blossom Island appointment. You entered the country very quickly now. I didn't expect that you are already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but it will be a hurdle from the sixth level to the seventh level of Qi Refining. It won't It’s so easy. I know you have unique talent and confidence. If you can’t even break multiple weights, it’s time to accumulate more.”

Chen Huaisheng nodded silently.

From the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, I broke through consecutively, but it can be regarded as a retreat for more than a year. However, from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining, I almost stepped on the rhythm and soared. In many aspects, , I need to calm down and practice hard for a while.

But now I can't help myself. When I go to Hebei, how can I get enough time to settle down? I'm afraid that one wave of challenges will follow after another.

"I know I have given you several locations to choose from. If you want stability, you can choose Xuankong Mountain. Wolong Ridge is the most complex and the most challenging, but once you get a firm foothold, it is a geomantic treasure. However, that is the former site of Dongxuan Sect, which was a thousand years ago. One of the three major sects in Hebei, but why it was destroyed overnight is unknown... Qibao Gang is not suitable. If you go there, you will probably get entangled with the surrounding sects. They do not welcome outsiders to stay. Although they are powerless to stop them, these people are deeply involved with casual cultivators and alien cultivators..."

Chen Huaisheng was moved by the words that Tang Jingtian came here specifically to bring him. This friend was not in vain.
