Strange mountains and rivers

Along the way from Weijun to Bianliang, Min Qing's eyes were full of longing, and Chen Huaisheng's mind was wandering.

After staying in Hebei for more than half a year, it seemed that even my state of mind was a little sluggish. It was only when I returned to Zhao that I really felt the difference.

It turns out that I haven’t noticed it even after staying in Da Zhao for a long time. Only when I huddled in Hebei for more than half a year and my whole mind slowly integrated into Hebei and became a member of Hebei can I discover the difference and extraordinaryness of Da Zhao.

Perhaps Da Zhao also has many shortcomings, but compared to Hebei, it is a completely different world.

Prosperous, lively, popular, relaxed, comfortable, free, and full of vitality, well, these words are combined to form a more detailed description of Da Zhao.

As for Hebei, it is tense, depressing, and bleak. War and killings are about to break out at any time. The situation is precarious. Even Chen Huaisheng feels that he is surrounded by wolves and needs to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

For mortals and even clans, this sense of crisis is even greater.

This can not only be felt from his own mental relaxation, but also Min Qingyu began to slowly relax after entering Da Zhao territory for a few days.

In Chen Huaisheng's view, maybe the environment in Hebei is more conducive to cultivation and improvement, but it is not conducive to breakthroughs.

In other words, practicing in Hebei is more conducive to quantitative change, but in terms of qualitative change, a more relaxed and comfortable environment without external threats is needed to achieve breakthroughs.

If you tighten it too tightly, it will be difficult to find that feeling of inspiration and enlightenment.

However, Chen Huaisheng did not think that this was the reason why he had been in seclusion for half a year and still failed to break through the threshold of high-level Qi refining.

From the middle stage of Qi refining to the high stage of Qi refining is a threshold, which is even different from the success of Qi refining and the initial stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining.

Success in refining qi is more about understanding, or the sense of spiritual roots.

People with excellent spiritual roots, such as Xuan Chimei, Min Qingyu, and Ren Wugao, can successfully refine their Qi in just a short time. However, if their Taoist bones are mediocre, they may not be able to have such amazing talents in terms of cultivation accumulation.

My spiritual roots are not good, but I have accumulated several years of experience. Perhaps I can barely offset this flaw, so I can successfully refine my Qi quickly.

However, his Taoist bones are excellent, and he has certain advantages in cultivation and even ordinary level breakthroughs and advancements. Therefore, from successfully refining Qi to the sixth level of Qi refining, it has been quite smooth for him. It can be said that it has been smooth sailing.

But when he advanced from the sixth level of Qi refining to the seventh level of Qi refining, he encountered a bottleneck.

At least until now, I can feel that my spiritual realm is still far away from reaching the seventh level of Qi training.

The Chonghua Sect's abbot's point in Bianliang City is still there, but Ou Qingchun is no longer there.

Although he initially agreed to serve as the resident elder of the Chonghua Sect, within half a year, Ou Qingchun took the initiative to leave the sect.

In view of Ou Qingchun's cousin's status in the Jiulian Sect, the Chonghua Sect did not have any difficulties and it was easy to talk things over.

Guo Chongdao is now in charge of the abbot of the Chonghua Sect in Bianliang City.

"I've met Master Guo." Chen Huaisheng still has great respect for this person who was once regarded as his elder, the Youzhiyuan of the Qianden Gongyuan.

In the past, Guo Chongdao took good care of himself and Hu Delu. Although the other party was a little more scheming and had some selfish thoughts, Chen Huaisheng felt that everything was normal.

When a person has reached this stage, it would be ridiculous to say that he is selfless or has the heart of a saint. Isn't it the same for me?

"Huaisheng, I have to change my words." Guo Chongdao smiled, "Senior Brother Guo."

Including Cao Renben and Guo Chongdao, the original left and right aides of Chuan Gong Yuan, they were all a generation younger than Shang Jiuling, Zhu Fengbi, and You Shaoyou.

When Cao Renben and Guo Chongdao started, they were already in their 30s and 40s, and they were already in their thirties, Zhu Fengbi, Li Yu, You Shaoyou, and Xu Muyang, when they were in their prime and became the backbone of the Chonghua Sect.

Entry into the country is slow and fast. Both Cao Renben and Guo Chongdao are only in their early sixties, but they have already caught up with Qiao Zhun, who is nearly eighty years old.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Guo. Senior Brother has just broken through and advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining, right? What a joy." Chen Huaisheng looked up and down at Guo Chongdao's face and said with a smile.

Guo Chongdao nodded, then shook his head, joking to himself: "Originally, it was indeed something worth being happy about, but seeing that Huaisheng and you have reached the sixth level of Qi refining, do you think I can be happy, senior brother? I can still vividly remember the scene when you entered the Chuan Gong Academy and successfully practiced Qi, and you are about to catch up with me, senior brother."

"Brother, it's just a fluke." Chen Huaisheng also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is a bit difficult to advance to the high level of Qi refining. After arriving in Hebei, I went into seclusion for half a year. I thought I could make a breakthrough, but there was no chance."

Guo Chongdao laughed dumbly, "Huaisheng, there is no need to belittle yourself, you are already amazing enough. Do you really think that this breakthrough and promotion is easy? Senior brother, it took me seven years to advance from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the high level of Qi Refining." , you are less than a year old, why do you want to make a leap? It took Sitian nearly three years to go from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, right? This is already the fastest advancement for our Chonghua Sect in the past thirty years. And he also used thirty-three Yuan-Building Pills to fulfill his wish."

"Oh?" Chen Huaisheng was startled, "Does it take pills to advance to the advanced level of Qi Refining? Yuan-Building Pills?"

"It's not necessary to take the Yuan-building Pill." Since Guo Chongdao can take charge of Zhike of the Chuan Gong Academy, he is much more familiar with these situations than Chen Huaisheng. "But if you don't use it, it will greatly delay the progress of breaking through. Ziying, can you Don’t tell me that you don’t use the Yuan-Building Pill, right?”

Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "I have used the Yunyuan Pill, but only for daily practice..."

"The Yunyuan Pill is very effective, but it is limited to daily practice. If you are below the sixth level of Qi Refining, there will be no problem. But from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the advanced level of Qi Refining, you must use special elixirs. The seventh level of Qi is a threshold, and the Yuan-Building Pill has medicinal properties that are designed to burn roots and bones, so Zhao Sitian was able to break through the seventh level and reach the eighth level in such a short period of time."

Guo Chongdao paused: "Huaisheng, you also need to consider the Yuan-Building Pill. Even if you use the Yuan-Building Pill, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Moreover, the refining of the Yuan-Building Pill is not easy, and our sect itself cannot satisfy it." , you have to buy it from outside. Not only is it expensive, but it’s often expensive but not available.”

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that the Yuan Building Pill was in such short supply.

He had already expected that the sect itself would not be able to satisfy his needs. Even the supply of Yunyuan Pills could not meet the needs, let alone Yuan-Building Pills.

The Chonghua faction has obvious shortcomings in this regard. Although Wu Tianen took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, improvement cannot be achieved overnight.

"Senior Brother Guo, is it possible to buy Yuan-Building Pills in Bianliang City?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"It should be possible, but firstly, it is expensive, and secondly, the quality in Laifang market is uneven, and the quantity is also uncertain, so you have to choose carefully." Guo Chongdao nodded: "If Huai Shengqian needs it, I will inquire for you."
