Strange mountains and rivers

"I don't even understand. What kind of skills are you practicing?" After his eyes lingered on Chen Huaisheng for a long time, Tang Jingcai let out a long sigh and muttered.

"It's less than four years since you started. No matter how deep your experience is, you can go from enlightenment to advanced Qi refining in four years. In addition, you started traveling after you were fourteen, so it's only ten years, right?"

"Ten years have caught up with my twenty years of practice?! But I can be regarded as the best in the Guipeng Sect. Is it because you are gifted, or is it that your Chonghua Sect is outstanding in teaching students according to their aptitude? But I have not seen anyone except you. How good is it with other people besides Zhao Sitian?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Chonghua Sect has hundreds of years of foundation. Although the number of disciples in the sect is somewhat smaller, it is the best among the best, and is especially good at exploring the unique talents of its disciples."

Tang Jingtian couldn't help but vomit out all his doubts, which made it difficult for Chen Huaisheng to answer. After scratching his head, he reluctantly found a reason to explain.

"In addition to me and Senior Brother Sitian, Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong are also very outstanding. When I left the mountain gate, Yuan Wenbo was already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he also planned to practice in seclusion and strive to reach the Qi Refining Level within two to three years. The fifth level of Qi, he is three years younger than me,..."

"So what?" Tang Jingtian sneered, "Three years younger than you, even if he successfully advances to the fifth level of Qi refining three years later, the distance is so huge compared to you. This has not even mentioned that the seventh level of Qi refining is not a hurdle. Anyone can cross it at will. To be honest, it is still hard for me to believe that you can actually cross the seventh level of Qi training in one year. It took me three and a half years to break through the seventh level of Qi training, but do you know that I spent a lot of time on it? How huge is it, and how difficult is it to practice? This record of three and a half years is something that no one in the Guipeng Sect has been able to catch up with in at least fifty years, and there are only two people in the entire Jiulian Sect who are faster than me in thirty years!"

"Senior Brother Tang, when you say this, I have really become a unique genius. I am so flattered." Chen Huaisheng could only joke with himself.

"Anyway, among the people I have met in the past few years, you are the most unorthodox heretic. You subvert my perception every time. Well, maybe only Yu Fengqian is the only one. She is the only one who may be more unorthodox than you. Actually To be able to reach the peak of Qi refining and directly prove the Tao in battle, break through the realm and soar,..."

Tang Jingtian seemed to be recalling the fierce battle with the group of rogue cultivators in the Dongfu Ghost Market that day, and Tang Jingtian became even more emotional.

"At the peak of qi refining at the age of thirty-five, it is already unacceptable. I didn't expect that someone could prove it in one battle. I always thought that I could be among the top three geniuses in the Nine Lotus Sect. Even in the Among the ten major sects of Da Zhao, I can also be ranked in the top fifty, but now I find out how to compare with you two, my self-confidence suddenly collapsed, I feel so mediocre, I didn't feel it before, even in front of you I still have a sense of superiority, but now I feel like making friends with you seems a bit too high?"

I was completely amused by Tang Jingtian's words. I didn't expect that this guy actually had a sense of humor. He was really good at complaining about himself.

"Senior Brother Jingtian, you are already heading towards the ninth level of Qi refining. You will soon be the one who will establish the foundation and attain enlightenment. Why are you still nagging at us who have just entered the advanced level of Qi refining?"

"Okay, Huaisheng, don't flatter me. The eighth level of Qi refining is still far from foundation building. I'm thinking about spending two years in retreat after returning from Wuyue to see if I can enter the ninth level... "

Tang Jingtian's tone returned to normal, and his eyes became more intense, "Forty-five peak, fifty-year-old foundation building and enlightenment, this is my goal!"

Chen Huaisheng looked at each other and couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Jingtian and Senior Brother Sitian have the same plan. Forty-five peaks and fifty foundations. You two really have the same vision as heroes."

"Oh? Zhao Sitian plans the same way?" Tang Jingtian was surprised, "Has he reached the eighth level of Qi refining?"

"When I came out of the sect, he had already officially broken through and advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining. He should still be in the fixed breath period. It is estimated that he will reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within three years."

Chen Huaisheng didn't hide anything.

Zhao Sitian is indeed excellent, and in a sense, he is indeed better than himself.

Not long after he came out of seclusion, Zhao Sitian also came out of seclusion, but he broke through the spiritual realm and advanced to the eighth level of Qi refining, but he failed to break through.

This also caused some restlessness at the time.

There were also rumors in the sect that he had exhausted his talents, that he was young, and that he was no longer good at all, and that he was about to decline. Compared with Zhao Sitian, he was the real pillar of the sect, and his direct disciple was just a false name, etc.

As for who is spreading these words, Chen Huaisheng also knows it well.

In addition to Qin Zeju and Peng Youshu, people like You Shaoyou and Cao Renben also have a very average impression of themselves.

Especially after Li Yu defied all opinions and made himself the direct disciple of the headmaster, all kinds of envy, jealousy, hatred, and some old people who felt that he had only been around for a short time and was too old were even more dissatisfied with him.

There cannot be peace in every sect. Tong Baichuan's rebellion before and then Ou Qingchun's departure from the sect all proved this.

However, under such circumstances, the Chonghua sect was still able to steadily move north and gain a foothold, which actually proved the vitality of the Chonghua sect.

In Chen Huaisheng's opinion, the Chonghua Sect has done a very good job. Even if some people dislike him, it doesn't matter. As long as he is not deliberately targeting himself, he can use his own performance to prove himself and conquer the other party.

Tang Jingtian nodded slightly, "Zhao Sitian can actually be ranked in the top fifty on the Dragon Tiger Ranking."

The Great Dao Dragon and Tiger List is different from the Hidden Dragon and Tengfeng List.

The Qianlong Tengfeng Bang was previously set up by the Taoist Palace for practitioners under the age of twenty, but after this Taoist meeting, the age was adjusted to those under the age of twenty-two.

The Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking is for cultivators under the age of fifty, while those over fifty are named after the Dao Feng Yun Ranking.

The Dao Palace sets up this kind of personal ranking. Except for the top three, the others will be ranked in the form of top ten, ten to twenty, twenty to thirty, thirty to forty. Accurate to the single digit, after fifty to one hundred, the ten will not be listed, and will be directly included in the hundred list.

Tang Jingtian is currently ranked in the top forty in the Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking, which probably means that Tang Jingtian's strength should be between thirty and forty, not lower than forty, but not higher than thirty, which belongs to A floating and indeterminate state.

In other words, the cultivation power among the ten ranked ones is not very different. It is not certain who is stronger. It may depend on who is in better condition on the spot, or it may change after a period of time because of who makes a breakthrough.

When Zhao Sitian was in the Taoist Association, he was not listed in the top fifty of the Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking, but was ranked among the hundred, so Tang Jingtian would say this.

But now Tang Jingtian feels that Zhao Sitian has the strength to enter the top fifty.

"Senior Brother Zhao should have this strength, but Senior Brother Jingtian, you should be in the top thirty, right?" Chen Huaisheng also asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid my ranking will not change much, unless I can quickly enter the ninth level, but if you are born in Huaihe, there is no problem in ranking in the top 100. If you are two years younger, or the Qianlongtengfeng ranking is cut off at the age of twenty-five, Then you can rank in the top ten on the list of Hidden Dragons and Soaring Phoenixes!"

Tang Jingtian was not without regrets.

Chen Huaisheng was almost twenty-four years old and was just outside the list of Qianlong and Tengfeng.

But being included in the Dragon Tiger Qing Yun list, he is too disadvantaged at his age.

Those who enter the top ten of the Dragon Tiger Qingyun List are basically monks over forty years old, and no one is under thirty-five years old.

"Senior Brother Jingtian, don't talk about me anymore. If Senior Sister Yu came to this Dragon Tiger Qingyun Ranking, where do you think she would be ranked?" Chen Huaisheng changed the subject, not wanting to talk about himself.

After Tang Jingtian was startled, he thought for a while, "There is no problem in the top ten, but she is not yet forty now, and I don't know if she has entered the country in the past few years. If she really reaches the second level of foundation building, I'm afraid she will He has the strength to hit the top three. Now the leader of the Qingyun Ranking is Li Xiaotian, the head disciple of Taihua Dao, who is at the third level of foundation building. The second and third are all at the second level of foundation building..."

"It's a pity that Brother Wu Yue was not included in the Dao Palace, otherwise Senior Sister Yu would really have become the number one heroine in the Qingyun Ranking." Chen Huaisheng lamented.

"Peach Blossom Island is the place where the bell spirits of the East China Sea are unique. It is full of spiritual energy, and there are many spiritual creatures and spiritual materials around it. The Holy Fire Sect occupies this place exclusively. I heard that it has also attracted the covetousness of many surrounding sects and giants of casual cultivators. I also heard that There are some rumors saying that the Holy Fire Sect is facing a lot of challenges now, especially the Qian clan of Wuyue Kingdom, which is very afraid of the Holy Fire Sect. If it weren’t for the constraints of the Xu and Tian families, they might all be disadvantageous to the Holy Fire Sect.”

This is the first time Chen Huaisheng has heard about the affairs in Wuyue, and he did not expect that the Holy Fire Sect is still in such a situation. He can't help but feel that it seems to be like this everywhere, whether it is an individual or a sect, it is inevitable to be involved in this kind of situation. Go into battle.

Seeing that Chen Huaisheng was also a little distracted, Tang Jingtian shook his head: "Huaisheng, you don't need to worry about the girl. The Holy Fire Sect can stand on Taohua Island for hundreds of years, so it naturally has its confidence, just like your Chonghua Sect is facing such dangerous situations. , wouldn’t it be possible to turn the corner and gain a foothold in Hebei?”

"Senior Brother Jingtian is right. For us, it is the right principle not to think too much about anything and just practice in a down-to-earth manner."

Chen Huaisheng also put aside these irrelevant thoughts, "Then how do we move?"

"Flying is the fastest, but it can only fly to the Wuyue border. After entering Wuyue, you have to ride a horse or walk. I see you have an attendant?" Tang Jingtian smiled strangely, "I didn't expect you to be in Hebei for a few days. Now My mind has become wandering."

"What about you, senior brother? Senior sister Gu and you are destined to be together for life, will we be married forever?" Chen Huaisheng knew that the other party was making fun of him, so he asked the other party.

"Haha, that's just right. Your senior sister Gu also happens to have a companion, but you are only at the second level of Qi refining..." Chen Huaisheng interrupted: "I just hope that she can gain some experience through this experience. breakthrough."
