Strange mountains and rivers

Chen Huaisheng was not sure what kind of state this round of monster tide would reach.

He could only predict the worst and most dangerous situation.

And he didn't want to be forced to give up everything in Yunzhongshan and retreat to Longlinyuan to seek shelter from Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou and others.

Or, this should also be an excellent opportunity to establish the banner sign of Yunzhongshan, a small mountain.

After experiencing this battle, Chen Huaisheng felt that he could firmly bind Wu Tianen and Gou Yiwei under the sign of Yunzhongshan Bailu Daoyuan, and show the strength and foundation of Yunzhongshan Bailu Daoyuan to the entire Chonghua Sect, and the next step would be much easier.

But the premise is that it can't rely on the support of the sect to carry it.

Gou Yiwei's formation construction was relatively smooth, except that some spiritual materials and magic tools on the formation gate and formation eye were still lacking.

But there is no way, Yunzhongshan's foundation is just this.

Although he said that he would build a mountain protection formation at all costs, it involved a large amount of spiritual food, spiritual plants, animal meat and elixirs on the mountain, which all cost a lot of spiritual stones.

Even some personal protective instruments and talismans also need to be purchased one after another to make full preparations.

For disciples with weaker strength like Wei Wuyang and Zhang Zhiruo, Chen Huaisheng had to consider more, such as body protection robes, spiritual armor and other things that can be used immediately, which must be equipped. It is unpredictable to what extent this battle will be fought in the future, and anyone may encounter misfortune.

But improving high-end combat power is always the first priority, and the current high-end combat power of Yunzhong Mountain, in addition to Wu Tianen and Gou Yiwei, is Xuan Chimei and Fang Baoliu.

We have to go to the south again.

Red crucian carp blood is indispensable, and at worst, we can be thick-skinned and ask for help from Bi Jiao Yuanjun.

With the blood of red crucian carp, Xuan Chimei and Fang Baoliu are expected to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining in a short period of time, and even other disciples can benefit greatly.

In addition, they will take a trip to Yuelun Mountain to have a good talk with Lei Xi and see his true thoughts.

If there is enough time, Chen Huaisheng is also ready to return to his hometown in Liao County and visit Yefenggou to meet Xiong Zhuang.

Time is running out, Chen Huaisheng dare not delay.

"I want to go back too. There have been letters from home, but I have not been back twice. The last time I went back was four years ago. I don't know what my parents and my brother are doing."

Hearing that Chen Huaisheng was going back to Dazhao, Xuan Chimei was overjoyed.

In the past few years, there have been various storms, and she has not been able to go back to her hometown. She has long missed her home.

Seeing that as Chen Huaisheng said, if this wave of monsters may sweep over, it is not only possible in Hebei, but also in Dazhao.

The two of them were from Guzhen, Liao County, one in Yuanbao Village and the other in Heimu Cliff, only a few dozen miles apart.

Chen Huaisheng didn't have many relatives in his hometown. His parents died early, and none of his brothers and sisters of his parents' generation could enter the Dao. With a life span of only more than 40 years for ordinary people, they were basically dead.

In addition to Chen Luosheng, who was the closest, there was only Chen Jisheng, who he met when he returned to his hometown when he just entered Chonghua. They had a little friendship, but he didn't have much contact with others.

This trip lasted for eight years, and he also went from a young man in his twenties to a man in his thirties.

Hearing Xuan Chimei's words, Chen Huaisheng was a little dazed. Suddenly, all kinds of hometown seemed to come to him all at once, and he even missed it a little.

There was obviously nothing worth remembering, so why did he suddenly feel reluctant now?

"Brother Huaisheng, I'm talking to you. I want to go back too, with you."

When Xuan Chimei said the last sentence, her words suddenly became much gentler and more affectionate.

"You want to go back too?" Chen Huaisheng hesitated for a moment, and for a moment he felt that there was no reason not to let Xuan Chimei go back.

Xuan Chimei is now at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and her strength in Yunzhong Mountain is second only to himself, Wu Tianen, and Gou Yiwei.

There shouldn't be any big problems in the mountain for the next two months. With Wu Tianen and Fang Baoliu in charge, Gou Yiwei is still perfecting the formation and also has to make some magic tools. It won't have any impact if Chimei and I go back.

"Well, I'll go with you, just the two of us."

Looking at Chimei's eyes, a blush on her delicate face, and a little more joy and cuteness between her eyebrows, Chen Huaisheng's heart was also moved.

How could he not understand Chimei's thoughts? This trip was also a return home in glory, and she even wanted him to accompany her to meet her parents.

Chen Huaisheng knew the situation of her family. Her father was a Taoist seed, and her mother was a mortal. They were considered middle-class families in the villages on Blackwood Cliff. She had an elder brother and an elder sister, both of whom were mortals. They had married or married and separated from their families long ago. He didn't know when a younger brother appeared.

"Well, that's fine, but we have to hurry up. I'm afraid we can't delay in the middle. In addition, we can't stay in our hometown for too long. Three or five days is probably the limit." Chen Huaisheng could only agree.

"I know, I'll go back and see my brother." Xuan Chimei sighed.

"When did you have another younger brother?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help asking, "I only remember that you have an elder brother and an elder sister, right?"

Xuan Chimei's face was not very good, but she finally said awkwardly, "My father gave birth to a concubine. The last time I went back, he was only four years old,..."

"Ah?" Chen Huaisheng was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised. Xuan Chimei's father was a post-natal Dao seed. Blackwood Cliff was divided into three villages, South, North and West, and there were still thousands of households. It was normal to take a concubine.

Perhaps knowing that she would have to face it sooner or later, Xuan Chimei added: "My aunt is actually my mother's niece from the next room. She is only three years older than me. She is my cousin and also a post-natal Dao seed. She originally married a man who was a Qi training casual cultivator in Ni County, but later when she was hunting, she was attacked by monsters and her body was gone. Later, she came back alone... I don't know how she fascinated my father..."

The mortal world is actually similar to the cultivation world. With Xuan Chimei's father's Dao seed status, he is naturally considered an upper-class person in a mortal village.

And Xuan Chimei's cousin's post-natal Dao seed status must have some value.

After all, if both are Dao seeds, the possibility of the child born being a Dao seed is also greater. If she hadn't become a widow because of marriage, she would not have married Xuan Chimei's father as a concubine.

It's just a little awkward now. My cousin and my father gave birth to a child. But this situation is not uncommon in this world. There is no such thing as five generations apart.

Even Xuan Chimei was only slightly embarrassed. After talking it out, it was nothing.

"My half-brother has understood the Dao bone at the age of four. He has extraordinary talent. Now he is seven years old. I don't know if he has awakened his spiritual roots, but I think there is a great hope. My father, aunt and even my mother all hope that he can have a promising future and hope that I can help him..."

Xuan Chimei hesitated and said, "If this guy really has this talent, I also want to bring him to Chonghua Sect."

"Does your father mean the same thing?" Chen Huaisheng could feel it from Xuan Chimei's expression. I'm afraid her father might not think so.

"Not sure yet, we'll know after we go back." Xuan Chimei calmed down, "If he doesn't follow me, does he have any other choice?"

Chen Huaisheng smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. The Baishi Sect is now in its heyday in Yi County, and the Zijin Sect controls Yiyang Prefecture. These two major sects are stronger than our Chonghua Sect in terms of strength, and they have geographical advantages. Our Chonghua Sect was driven out of Langling and driven out of Dazhao. This is no secret. Everyone knows it. Although we have developed well in Hebei, how many people in Dazhao know about us? How many people in Dazhao will pay attention to Hebei?"

"You can see from the situation of recruiting disciples in Yi County. When we first came here, we were able to recruit many outstanding disciples from Langling and Yiyang Prefectures with our original connections, but what about in the past few years? The number of people has dropped significantly, and there are very few outstanding ones. Almost all of them have been plundered by Baishimen and Zijin Sect before we can get our turn,..."

"So have you noticed that in the past two years, more than 60% of the new disciples recruited by the sect are from Yanzhou, and the disciples sent from the prefectures where the Jiulian sects were originally located can account for more than 30%, and the disciples from Yiyang and Langling probably only account for half,..."

Xuan Chimei did not respond, in fact, she also vaguely felt it.

Father is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. On the contrary, he knows the situation outside very well, and even knows the inside story of the Jiulian Sect's internal strife and deterioration. So when I mentioned that my younger brother, who was still young at that time, would join the Jiulian Sect in the future, he did not comment, but only said that he would talk about it later.

At that time, Xuan Chimei guessed that her father probably had other plans.

I joined Jiulian Sect because it was a solid ally of Lingyun Sect and had privileges in Yiyang Prefecture. Now that Lingyun Sect has disappeared and Jiulian Sect has been destroyed, will my father still look down on Chonghua Sect in Hebei?

As for my relationship, in my father's mind, I will sooner or later become a member of the family. If I didn't have this extremely talented younger brother, maybe my father would care more about me, but now I'm afraid he has to consider his younger brother's future first.

In my father's mind, Chonghua Sect is obviously not the best choice.

"What does this mean? It means that Baishimen and Zijin Sect have already established a firm foothold in Yi County and won the recognition of the local gentry and powerful people, so the best disciples in these places will be sent to Baishimen and Zijin Sect first. Of course, those with connections may be directly sent to or selected by Tianyun Sect, Wanxiang Sect, Huaxi Sword Sect, etc., and our Chonghua Sect is no longer within their sight..."

"So, Chi Mei, don't hold too high hopes, and I also think that you don't have to make decisions for your father..."
