Strange mountains and rivers

After the frost, the weather suddenly turns cold. When you get up in the morning, you can see the ground covered with white frost, withered grass shrinking, and a red sun jumping out, reflecting the withered yellow and emerald green of Dahuai Mountain like a fairyland.

Eighteen disciples were assigned. As Chen Huaisheng expected, none of those who were qualified to accept disciples were very willing. They were more focused on improving their own cultivation.

Although Chen Huaisheng also tried his best to persuade, the effect was not good. In the end, there were still six disciples left. Tang Jingtian chose two, Zhao Sitian chose one, and the remaining three were left to Chen Huaisheng.

Of course all this was done quietly.

Chen Huaisheng was actually not very willing to accept a disciple in his heart, but he had set the rules himself, and at the same time he and Zhao Tang had determined the bottom line, so naturally he had to abide by it, and he had to show no hesitation and be happy to see the results.

There are three disciples, two are ten years old, one is nine years old, two boys and one girl. If you add Ren Wugou, who can only be counted as half, and Yun Lei, he now has four and a half disciples.

"Zhuchen."

"Disciple is here." The ten-year-old boy has a handsome face, but there are some angular features in his brows. He is a little short, even shorter than the girl next to him. Perhaps this is the reason why he was not chosen by others.

"Qing Xiao."

"The disciple is here." The girl next to the boy said clearly, with a pair of small dimples on her round face and a cute smile. This may be the reason why she was not selected.

"Tuoba Hong."

"Disciple is here." Although he is one year younger than his senior brothers and sisters, his figure is much stronger, his hands are bigger, and his face is dark and rough. At first glance, he looks like a farm boy. With the surname Tuoba, As soon as he heard it, he knew that he had Beirong blood, so it was reasonable for him to be rejected by others.

"Yun Lei." Chen Huaisheng turned his eyes to the girl standing next to him. The girl bowed slightly and said, "Master."

"Mao Ran." Chen Huaisheng turned his attention to the other earliest girl: "The disciple is here."

Mao Ran was Xuan Chimei's favorite disciple. Before these eighteen disciples entered the mountain, he was selected by Zeng Guolin from Baitapu and followed Xuan Chimei early.

However, according to the rules of the mountain, Xuan Chimei is not qualified to accept apprentices before establishing a foundation, so Mao Ran can only temporarily bear her name, but he cannot be a master and apprentice, nor can he teach skills.

However, considering that it would take some time for Xuan Chimei to build the foundation, and Mao Ran could not just wait, so after thinking about it, Xuan Chimei could only send it to Chen Huaisheng first, and ask Chen Huaisheng to teach on his behalf. , wait until she builds the foundation before returning it to her.

"Although you are not my disciple, Chi Mei is my Taoist companion, and I have the obligation to teach on her behalf..."

Mao Ran nodded silently.

"Well, today we are all here. From today on, I will officially accept you as a disciple. Although Yun Lei has been with me for several years, I have never allowed her to officially become a disciple. But starting from today, I will accept the four of you." people,……"

Chen Huaisheng selectively ignored Ren Wugou, which was also his decision after careful consideration.

Instead of waiting to cause controversy in the future, it is better to obscure his identity now and put it aside as a half-attendant and half-disciple.

Ren Wugou stood aside, naturally satisfied with Chen Huaisheng's arrangement. She didn't want to be Chen Huaisheng's disciple in the first place. It was just that she was young and didn't have so much thought. She never thought that she would be in today's situation. , now it’s time to take off the identity of a disciple.

Yun Lei was still a little confused before, but since Chen Huaisheng has made such a decision, it naturally makes sense.

She has long figured out that her senior sister is not willing to be lonely, and she has long coveted her master. She just doesn't know what kind of story this senior sister will play with Fang Xuan in the future. Thinking about it, Yun Lei felt shuddering. She would never dare to put it on her.

"No matter how good your bones are, the four of you, once you enter our sect, I will naturally teach and support you with all my strength. When you enter our sect, you should practice quietly and follow the teachings..."

Chen Huaisheng had never been a teacher, and he couldn't think of any noble words to teach, so he chose some ordinary words. They were simple and simple, but they also made a few anxious disciples feel more at ease.

After the simple initiation ceremony, the next step is to get to know more about the disciples.

When choosing a disciple, one must give priority to talent, not to mention other things. Needless to say, Yun Lei's own talent is not very good, and it is not as good as Ren Wugao. However, thanks to the entrustment of Yun He and Luo Xiuyue, Chen Huaisheng can now even Even if she is raised like a daughter, she must be fully supported.

Zhu Chen, Qing Xiao and Tuoba Hong finally fell into the hands of Chen Huaisheng. It can be seen that they were left after others selected them. In theory, they should be the least talented among the eighteen people, even if there are other factors. reasons, but they definitely belong to the latter group.

Zhu Chen has a neutral spiritual root, Qing Xiao has a fire spiritual root, and Tuoba Hong has an earth spiritual root. Chen Huaisheng also checked carefully and found that their talents are actually not bad. They are much better than Yun Lei, and they are comparable to Ren. There is not much difference between Wu Gu and Wu Gu, which shows how rigorous Zeng Guolin and Yang Husheng were in selecting their disciples this time.

It is better to have less than to have too much, especially on a newly established hilltop like Dahuai Mountain, where the security of one's own family is not yet completely stable, so it is better not to recruit than to have too much.

In Chen Huaisheng's opinion, Tuoba Hong is probably the most talented, and Zhu Chen and Qing Xiao are also among them. Now after getting started, you first need to understand the Tao. In Chen Huaisheng's opinion, this is not a problem. With a little guidance, it should be easy. It can be reached soon.

As for Qi Refining, as long as you proceed step by step, the first level of Qi Refining will be achieved quickly. Chen Huaisheng thinks that maybe the three of them can impact the second level of Qi Refining next year.

Because the three people have different spiritual roots, Chen Huaisheng also needs to guide them one by one so that they can quickly find the path and touch points of their own spiritual enlightenment.

As for Mao Ran, Xuan Chimei has actually secretly chosen a cultivation path for her. Chen Huaisheng is more of a urge, and gives her guidance when she encounters difficulties. Usually, she has to practice on her own.

Among the five people, Yun Lei has the highest spiritual realm strength, the second level of Qi Refining, but her endowment is far inferior to Mao Ran.

Mao Ran has only been a student for more than three months. Without any spiritual objects to help, he has realized the Tao and refined Qi in one go. Now he has begun to impact the second level of Qi Refining. And according to this momentum, as long as he is given appropriate treatment in spiritual materials and spiritual food, he may be able to advance to the second level of Qi Refining by the end of the year.

This also makes Chen Huaisheng feel pressured. If Mao Ran makes rapid progress, what will Yun Lei do? What should Zhu Chen, Qing Xiao, and Tuoba Hong do?

Now that the disciples in the mountain are divided into different groups, each of them is teaching their disciples the classics and skills. Perhaps Chen Huaisheng doesn't think much of it, but the others, especially the disciples of this generation, have already developed a sense of competition. For the disciples under the same master, it is even more self-evident.
