Strange mountains and rivers

Longlinyuan is very large, and the area including the original Dongxuanzong ruins is also quite large.

Even though many places have been destroyed and annihilated, its original scale and power can still be seen.

Chen Huaisheng estimated that the original scale of Dongxuan Sect was at least equivalent to the top ten sects in the current Zhao Dynasty. There should be about a thousand disciples, which was far beyond what the current Chonghua Sect could compare with.

The area after cleaning and repairing is not enough, but it does not affect Chen Huaisheng's single-family courtyard as the direct disciple of the headmaster.

While many new disciples could only sleep together in Datongbu and share a practice room with seven or eight people, Chen Huaisheng had already become a privileged class.

Of course, compared with Chen Huaisheng's privileges in Panshan, Langshan, where he had a cave, a Taoist temple and a valley, this place seemed quite shabby.

However, I believe that in a year and a half, the treatment at Panshan Langshan will return again, or even be worse.

It’s the same in every era and in any world.

Chen Huaisheng chose a Taoist temple on the northwest edge of Longlin Plain. After cleaning and repairs, the Taoist temple looked refreshing and peaceful.

The nearest other houses are fifty steps away, and here you can even see the mountain-protecting array's spiritual pole standing on the top of the hill not far away.

A single road led directly to the door, and from a distance I saw a little girl standing at the door.

Chen Huaisheng scratched his head.

It's the little girl from the Ren family.

Zhao Sitian chose Ren Wuchen as his disciple.

Chen Huaisheng can only say that heroes think alike.

With three spiritual roots, two of which are visible spiritual roots and an invisible spiritual root, anyone who sees it will be excited.

Regardless of whether this talent can be developed in the future, it is worth a gamble.

When the Ren family siblings came to ask for Chen Huaisheng's opinion, Chen Huaisheng definitely agreed.

Just kidding, Zhao Sitian is already reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his talent is at least among the top three among the new generation. If he becomes a disciple of such a master, his future is uncertain.

If it weren't for Ren Wuchen's excellent qualifications and talents, Zhao Sitian would never be tempted.

For Zhao Sitian, cultivation is the first priority. He would not consider accepting a disciple before building a foundation.

But it was only after seeing Ren Wuchen's excellent qualifications that he decided to make an exception, so Zhao Sitian accepted Ren Wuchen as a disciple.

Unexpectedly, for this reason, the little girl who had already moved into Bingshe, the outer hall of Chuangongyuan, would come to her to say hello and help with some housework.

Chen Huaisheng refused several times, but the girl remained the same, so Chen Huaisheng let him go.

But this girl also knows the rules. As long as she is not there, even if the Taoist door is open, she will never go in. She must wait until she comes back.

"Wugou has met the Taoist master."

The formal courtesy showed no trace of the cunning and shrewdness of that night in Shitangzhuang. It seemed that after entering the Chonghua Sect, the dust was washed away and he became pure.

Of course Chen Huaisheng would not believe it.

However, considering that the other person is in such an environment and has an instinct to survive, it is understandable that he would be tortured like that.

"Okay, here, you don't need to be so formal and polite, and you're not that kind of person." Chen Huaisheng said calmly.

Ren Wugu sighed inwardly.

She knew that the painstaking acting she had done in order to enter the Chonghua Sect had left a deep but not perfect impression in the other party's mind.

It's just that she didn't have a choice at the beginning.

If she hadn't taken a risk, she wasn't sure whether she and her brother would have gotten such an opportunity and entered China.

Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future, but what if not?

And even if you can get started in the future, but where can you be among the first batch of people to get started like now? The treatment will naturally be extraordinary. It is even less likely that my younger brother will become a disciple of Master Zhao, who is known as the number one genius of the young generation of Zhonghua.

So she didn't regret her original performance at all, even if she was left with a bad impression by the genius in front of her who was also said to be a Chonghua sect.

In fact, she could also feel that although her impression in the other party's mind was not that good, the other party did not seem to reject her.

The few times I came here, the other party's attitude was lukewarm, but they didn't push me away or give me a rejection.

"The Taoist master has too deep prejudice against Wugou. In the future, Wugou will only have to prove himself through actual performance." Ren Wugou pursed his lips and said aggrievedly.

Chen Huaisheng was a little amused, but this girl would come to him to find a reason for her.

But he doesn't hate the other person.

Hard-working people are welcome everywhere, not to mention this girl is very sensible and knowledgeable.

"If you want to prove yourself, the best way is to realize the Tao as soon as possible and successfully refine your Qi. In this way, you don't need to look at anyone's face, and everyone will look at you with admiration." Chen Huaisheng looked at the other person: "Your brother follows Senior Brother Zhao If you practice cultivation, you will have a bright future, but what about you? Have you never thought about being like your brother?"

For the first time, a hesitant expression appeared on the girl's face. After a long time, she said quietly: "Everyone knows Wu Chen's talent, but Wu Kuan's talent is very average. Many of the people who have started are not inferior to Wu Kuan..."

Chen Huaisheng was a little funny.

"The talents of these disciples are naturally not bad, but do you think you entered the sect because of your younger brother? Then you are totally wrong. You must understand that you can only enter the sect if you It’s because of my own talent, not any other reason.”

The girl's pretty eyes lit up, "Taoist Master really thinks Wu Guan can also achieve enlightenment successfully?"

"If you think I selected you just because you knelt down and kowtowed that night and spoke pitifully, making me sympathize with your siblings, then you are underestimating me and yourself." Chen Huaisheng's expression became serious. , and his tone became serious: "I'm very happy that you come to my place to do housework for me, but I would rather see the person I choose enter the sect and quickly achieve enlightenment and success, just like Tang Yuanli and Shi Dachang, no worse than them , even better than them,..."

Among the more than twenty Taoist cultivators in Shi Tangzhuang, Chen Huaisheng selected four, the Ren sisters, Tang Yuanli and Shi Dachang.

In addition to the Ren sisters, Tang Yuanli and Shi Dachang are only 12 or 13 years old, and are now living in Bingshe, the outer hall of Chuan Gong Yuan.

If Bingshe's number now includes those from Langling and the two batches of entry-level disciples from Fuyang in this round, the number has exceeded 120, accounting for more than 30% of the current Chonghua sect's disciples.

No wonder Ren Wugu was short of breath and guilty.

Facing more than a hundred innate Taoists who have been carefully selected to enter, and most of them are younger than her and about the same age as Ren Wuchen, she has little confidence.

The circles under his eyes were slightly red, and he let Wugu bite his thin silver teeth for a long time before he said angrily: "Taoist Master really thinks that Wugou can realize the Tao?"

The probability of enlightenment and entry into the Tao for those with innate Tao seeds varies.

Like the innate Tao seeds selected by large sects, the probability of enlightenment and entry into the Tao is naturally much higher. For example, it can even reach three to one, which means that one of three people who can enlighten and enter the Tao will succeed.

For example, the Chonghua faction can probably achieve a ratio of four to one, which is considered good.

This also means that there are 120 people in House B, and about 30 people who can enter the Tao can enter House B.

The success rate of entering the Taoist Refining Qi in the Yishe is much higher, about 70%, which means that there are currently about a hundred disciples of the Chonghua Sect Yishe, and about 70 people can successfully enter the Jiashe after refining their qi. .

In other words, if the Chonghua Sect recruits a hundred disciples every year, about 20 of them will succeed in refining Qi. As for how many of these successful Qi refining people will be able to advance to the middle stage of Qi refining, high stage Qi refining, or even advance to the foundation level? , which is difficult to calculate.

It was precisely because of the high elimination rate that Ren Wugou had confidence in his brother but not in himself.

"I think it's up to you to decide whether you can or not." Chen Huaisheng said calmly: "But I have confidence in my own vision. I never miss the person I like."

Ren Wuguo looked at Chen Huaisheng with fixed eyes, which made Chen Huaisheng feel a little hairy.

For a long time, Ren Wugao gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Then Wugao has remembered the words of the Taoist Master. But Wugao has been in the Chuan Gong Academy for so many days, and the Taoist Master's guidance has been given to him. Wugao is also in Yunli. In the fog, it is difficult to understand clearly..."

"The most important thing in enlightening the Tao is understanding, and it is ever-changing and inconsistent, and everyone is not completely consistent." Chen Huaisheng said patiently: "What a Taoist teacher teaches may not be correct. I can tell you about the process of my enlightenment. Once said,..."

"... At this point, I suddenly felt enlightened, thinking that I had entered the Tao, and that was the Tao!"

"If you don't have an idea at the moment, there is no need to force it, let alone think hard in the house. If you can take a closer look at the rising and falling clouds in the sky, the grass growing underground and the flying fish in the water, or you can close your eyes and feel it, and appreciate every moment of your body. A slight change may lead to gains..."

Chen Huaisheng tried her best to tell the other party what she had learned and felt. Whether the other party could gain something from her insights could only depend on her.

Looking at the girl's disappearing back, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but sigh.

It’s time for you to have a good time practicing.

After coming to Hebei for a month, although he never missed morning and evening classes, he still couldn't really concentrate on practicing. He might have a bad premonition that reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining would be a hurdle for him.

Returning to his alchemy room in the Taoist temple, Chen Huaisheng sat cross-legged and took out the technique from his storage bag.

"The Great Evolution of Public Ideas and the Wanmiao Lei Jue".

This is a thunder attribute technique.

Thunder-attribute exercises are not among the Five Elements attributes, but are derived from the three-element exercises of earth, wood, and fire.

Earth produces wood, wood produces fire, fire burns earth, causing disaster, and thunder is heard.

Thunder attribute skills are not uncommon. The most common ones are thunder in the palm or hearing thunder in the palm, commonly known as thunder in the palm.

Typically easy to learn but hard to master, Palm Thunder is very simple. Even those in the middle of Qi training can practice it, and many people have succeeded in it.

But if you go higher up from the Thunder in the Palm, the thresholds for various thunder methods will be higher than the next, so many people can master the Thunder in the Palm, but if you go up to a higher level, there will be few people who can practice the Polar Thunder. .

So when choosing this technique, Wu Tianen also asked him to think carefully.

There are thirteen levels of hearing thunder in the palm of your hand alone. More than 90% of practitioners find it difficult to overcome the breakthrough at the ninth level.

As long as you can break through the ninth level, even if you have a small accomplishment, it will be more than enough to deal with ordinary sneakiness.

And if you can break through the thirteenth level of hearing thunder in the palm of your hand, you can step into the realm of polar thunder. Basically, you can kill any monster or evil spirit with one blow.

Going higher, Wu Tianen himself doesn't know what level he can reach.

The reason why I warned him was that if he couldn't break through the ninth level, the palm thunder would be a gimmick, a waste of time, energy and spiritual materials, which was not cost-effective.

And even if you break through the ninth level, you can only deal with those who are sneaky. For cultivators, this palm thunder is still not enough, unless you break through the thirteenth level and reach the extreme thunder realm, but with such energy, how can you practice other things.

But what Chen Huaisheng likes is its growth potential.

Hunyuan Gangtian Kung Fu and He Qi Combo Slash are the most typical ones. I used to think that these techniques and spells were basic and could be used for ten or twenty years. But who would have thought that he would be able to achieve such a level of success? In three years, there was no room for growth in Aiki Combo Slash, and Hunyuan Gangtian Kung was useless.

Therefore, he wanted to choose a skill that would rather have a low starting point, but a high threshold, which would become more difficult as he progressed, but was worth practicing.
