Strange mountains and rivers

Tong Tong's return brought back a lot of news.

In the past few years, in addition to Da Zhao and Xi Tang, she has been to many places.

She has been to Yongliang, Bashu, Beimo, Nanchu, and Wuyue, and she didn't just pass by, but stayed in those places for a while.

The Xitang and Beirong people are fighting fiercely in Yongliang, and the two sides have clashed in many places in Yongliang, which makes Xitang look a little weak when facing Da Zhao.

The Beirong people in Beimo seem to be recovering, and their performance in Yunzhou is a clear proof. They have already shown some signs of decline, but now they seem to have regained control, but it should be only one or two of the Beirong people, not all of them. The internal struggle is still fierce, but it also puts pressure on the Tianhe Sect's infiltration struggle in Yunzhou.

From the news obtained by Tong Tong's travels, the Beirong people seem to have withdrawn from Hebei, but in fact they are still connected with the various sects and families in Hebei, and even their relationship with these sects and families has improved because they have withdrawn openly.

For example, whether it is the Ning family of Youzhou or the Yuelu Sect and the Tianhe Sect, they all have inextricable ties with the Beirong people.

In order to compete with the Beirong people and compete for Hebei, the Western Tang is also actively infiltrating the two states of Yunjin. On the contrary, the Great Zhao, which should have been the most powerful, now seems lazy and has not made much movement.

Chen Huaisheng needs to analyze what impact these situations will have on the survival of his group in Dahuai Mountain in Weihuai Dao.

Now Dahuai Mountain is superficially relying on the alliance with the Cao Kang family and then connecting with the Tianhe Sect and the Beirong Murong tribe to jointly resist the eastward invasion of the Yuelu Sect.

In this way, the Beirong people behind the Yuelu Sect and the Beirong people who are connected with the Tianhe Sect should not be one part. It is not certain whether the Murong tribe is connected with the Tianhe Sect, but it should not be hostile, and the Beirong people behind the Yuelu Sect should not be the Murong tribe.

The Beirong people who are connected with the Ning family of Youzhou should be the Duan tribe, which is also a large tribe of the Beirong people.

The Duan tribe and the Murong tribe should have a bad relationship, or even hostile.

This also means that for the time being, the alliance between Dahuaishan and the Cao Kang family is not contradictory to the infiltration in Fuyang Road, and the alliance between the Youzhou Ning family and the Duan tribe cannot affect Weihuai Road.

These complicated relationships give Chen Huaisheng a headache.

Dahuaishan is a force that cannot be any smaller, and just wants to develop peacefully in Weihuai Road. He also just wants to lead this group of people to practice and make progress, practice and break through as soon as possible, and become an immortal. He never wanted to be involved in the struggles of these big forces.

However, the four secrets of cultivating immortals, wealth, law, companions and land, none of them can be separated from the struggle and pursuit. Wealth and land are needless to say, even companions are also part of the talents, and they also need to be fought for. If there is no accumulation of the other three, how can law come?

Chen Huaisheng also knew that it was meaningless to think too much about these things. The current Dahuai Mountain still had to work hard to strengthen itself, and the only way to strengthen itself was to practice hard and do everything possible to improve the spiritual strength and magic combat power of the disciples of Dahuai Mountain, especially his own strength needed to be improved, which was the key.

But it was still necessary to distinguish the situation, at least to distinguish between enemies and friends, so as not to be confused and unaware of the disaster.

Tong Tong's arrival only added a bit of excitement to Dahuai Mountain, and soon returned to peace.

The destruction of the An family still dealt a head-on blow to the Yuelu Sect, and also made the Yuelu Sect realize that if it rashly reached out again, it might suffer losses, and the Tianhe Sect also realized that if it did not strike the Yuelu Sect again, the Yuelu Sect would sweep from Dongyuan Town and Xiongyang Fort to the central and eastern parts of Weihuai Road.

The conflict in Weiheji intensified again. Every three days, people from the Yuelu Sect and the Tianhe Sect were fighting. Although there were not many casualties, small-scale battles were quite intensive.

Chen Huaisheng was worried that Dongyuan Town in the southwest and Xiongyang Fort in the south were now under the control of Yuelu Sect, and sooner or later they would intervene in the competition with Huaiyang City and Dahuai Mountain.

In Weihuai Dao, Yuelu Sect always had the advantage in attack. Even though Tianhe Sect seemed to be stronger than Yuelu Sect, Tianhe Sect's main focus was still on Yunzhou and fighting with Beirong people. In Weihuai Dao, it seemed that they were a little overwhelmed.

In any case, in the summer of the 41st year of Jingzhen, Dahuai Mountain was immersed in a relatively quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which also gave everyone on Dahuai Mountain a good atmosphere to practice with peace of mind.

Zeng Guolin, Jing Zhonghong, Wu Tianen, Tang Jingtian, Gou Yiwei and others successively practiced in seclusion, preparing to break through the promotion.

Before that, Chen Huaisheng also carefully analyzed it for several people.

Gou Yiwei is relatively easy and has the best chance. After all, Gou Yiwei has been building his foundation for several years. Although he is older and has been affected by his daily affairs in recent years, he has never given up his daily practice. In addition, he has not missed several training and fighting experiences. Therefore, Chen Huaisheng thinks that with the encouragement of the red crucian carp blood, it should be smoother.

Wu Tianen is a little more difficult.

Although Wu Tianen has been in the third level of foundation building for quite a long time and has been in seclusion several times, the seclusion time is not long. At that time, he did not feel very confident, so he took the initiative to come out of seclusion. Moreover, this is a breakthrough from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage, which is more difficult.

But this time, Chen Huaisheng still feels that even if he consumes more spiritual treasures, he must help Wu Tianen to make a breakthrough. Success or failure is secondary. If you don't try, you will never know how far you are.

Tang Jingtian is the most difficult.

It took him a short time to break through the second level of foundation building, and last year when Chen Huaisheng went out to travel, he was in charge of the mountain, and he had not been able to practice in seclusion. So he did not have much hope for this trip, but being able to spend a year or two practicing hard would definitely be of great benefit to his next step of impacting the third level of foundation building. Therefore, this time, in terms of the supply of spiritual treasures, the main thing for this hard practice is to nourish the spiritual treasures and spiritual materials that strengthen bones, open meridians, and consolidate marrow.

Zeng Guolin and Jing Zhonghong had already been in seclusion for several months last winter, which was considered an attempt, but the two had only been building their foundation for more than a year at that time, so they were not very sure. They just closed themselves off to improve their precipitation. After coming out of seclusion this spring, they also felt that they had made great progress. This time, they rested for two months and closed themselves off again, which meant that they wanted to try it out. Whether it would succeed or not was also uncertain.

This time, in terms of the supply of spiritual treasures, the main thing for this hard practice was to nourish the spiritual treasures and spiritual materials that strengthen bones, open meridians, and consolidate marrow.

In addition to these three people, Zhu Yanhua also began to close himself off to impact the foundation building.

Zhu Yanhua's strength is actually only slightly inferior to Ji Huaijiang, who came to Dahuai Mountain with him, but now Ji Huaijiang has been building his foundation for a year, and it's his turn to fight.

Everyone also agreed with these people's retreat breakthroughs, hoping that they can achieve a leap in strength through the retreat period from this summer to next spring.

"Mao Ran, tell me about your understanding of the scriptures and your feelings of practice during this period."

Several disciples stood in front of Chen Huaisheng in an orderly manner. Chen Huaisheng sat on a stone bench and looked at them kindly.

Yun Lei, Mao Ran, Zhu Chen, Qing Xiao, and Tuoba Hong.

In addition, Ren Wujiu, who officially announced that she had broken off the master-disciple relationship with Chen Huaisheng, no longer participated in this kind of master-disciple teaching and handouts. Chen Huaisheng didn't care about her, and he couldn't control her. This girl has more ideas than anyone else, and she has her own understanding of the scriptures and methods. Chen Huaisheng is also very relieved.

Among the remaining five, Mao Ran has the highest talent, but she is Xuan Chimei's disciple, and is currently under the care of Chen Huaisheng. Tuoba Hong is second, Zhu Chen and Qing Xiao are third, and Yun Lei has the weakest talent.

Although she has only been a student for more than a year, Mao Ran has already reached the second level of Qi Refining, on par with Yun Lei, who has been a student for several years, and even has the potential to surpass Yun Lei. At least until now, it is still difficult for Yun Lei to impact the third level of Qi Refining, but Mao Ran has the conditions.

Tuoba Hong, Zhu Chen and Qing Xiao have also successfully refined their Qi and become disciples of the first level of Qi Refining. Tuoba Hong was one month ahead of Zhu Chen and Qing Xiao, and now the three are progressing very quickly. Chen Huaisheng estimates that it is a high probability event that she will be promoted to the second level of Qi Refining this winter and catch up with Yun Lei.

However, Yun Lei's mentality is still good.

Although she works hard in cultivation, she knows that her talent is not as good as her junior brothers and sisters. Seeing that these junior brothers and sisters have caught up, she is a little anxious, but also happy for them.

Chen Huaisheng also likes Yun Lei's temperament. Although hard work is important, the gap in talent is there. If you insist on chasing blindly, it will only make you fall into an unnecessary state of anxiety. Facing the gap correctly will be beneficial to future practice.

"Replying to Master, I have been trying to figure out the interaction between alchemy and Qi and root bones. How can I guide the Yuanhua and Qi of the Dao bone in the Dao body to move and promote its sublimation,..."

Mao Ran's voice was crisp and a bit childish, but his eyebrows were particularly serious, revealing a bit of thinking.

"There are many explanations for Dan Yuan in the book "Dan Yuan Essentials". The general meaning is that according to the different roots of individuals, one can choose the perception and understanding that one feels most suitable for oneself, especially when Dan Yuan is transformed into spiritual power, how to make the bone meridians and marrow work together, and then stir up the mist, and achieve accumulation and life..."

This little girl's comprehension ability should be the strongest among the disciples. She always has her own unique understanding of the essence of the sutras, and even Chen Huaisheng sometimes has to savor it carefully. She can also run it through in her practice under her guidance. No wonder she can see sublimation in the spiritual realm so quickly.

According to this progress, she may break through the third level of Qi Refining earlier than she originally expected. If she can supplement it with spiritual treasures, she may even break through the third level of Qi Refining in September.

However, Chen Huaisheng does not intend to do this. Too fast may not be a good thing. Now he is fully satisfied with spiritual herbs and beast meat, and still practices step by step. It seems slower, but laying a good foundation will be more beneficial in the future.
