Strange mountains and rivers

"You have thought it through, but have you ever thought about it, this training is not that simple, you may encounter various unpredictable dangers, and the sect generally does not arrange for the outer hall disciples to be excluded for training, they all enter the central hall Arrangements will be made based on the situation later..."

"Master Guo, I also know this, but it is just a convention, and it does not say that the outer disciples can only practice hard in the sect. I do think that sometimes it is appropriate to go out earlier to practice, which may make it easier to enter. Come on, well, isn’t this disciple a clear proof?”

Chen Huaisheng then shook his head and said: "Besides, based on the judgment of the disciples, I am afraid that the situation will be more dangerous this year. It may not be limited to Yiyang. I am afraid that we here in Langling must also be prepared." Yes, we can’t have the same thing happen to us in Langling, and we still need to ask for help from the Jiulian Sect and Lingyun Sect, right? By then, I’m afraid all the internal, external and internal sects will have to consider dealing with it in separate categories.”

Guo Chongdao was shocked, "Huaisheng, why do you think so?"

"Master Guo, demonic beasts have been coming out since last autumn. In addition, Lingyun Sect seems to have had a bad year or was targeted by someone. In short, things keep coming to them. What's even more worrying is that Jiulian Sect has not shown enough strength. and deterrence. Logically speaking, Jiulian Sect is one of the top super sects in Da Zhao. It should have thunderous means to deal with this kind of thing. However, its performance in Yiyang Mansion was lackluster, so I thought about whether it could be done well in Yiyang this year. The situation in Yang Mansion will be even worse..."

Chen Huaisheng really looks down on the performance of the so-called super sect, Jiulian Sect. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that their sect is divided into nine branches?

"Regionally speaking, our Langling and Yiyang are close to each other, and the Jiulian Sect and Lingyun Sect are our allies of the Chonghua Sect. It's hard to say whether these things will come to us. Aren't Master Wu and the others already involved? Who dares to say that this kind of thing won’t happen in Langcheng or Yanjiao?”

Chen Huaisheng's words made Guo Chongdao take a breath of cold air and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

He knew that Wu Tianen had mentioned Chen Huaisheng at the deacon meeting, saying that this son might not be as qualified as he expected, but his mind was careful and astute, and he was a talented person who could handle common affairs. Now it seems that it is true.

But Chen Huaisheng's prediction also made him feel a little pressured.

Lingyun Sect has been experiencing no peace from last year to now.

The disciples were either attacked by monsters or disappeared inexplicably. Of course, they were also suspected to have been devoured by monsters and no traces were found.

In addition, there are constant disputes with Baishimen, but fortunately it has not yet led to a major conflict.

The number of disciples of the Chonghua Sect is only half that of the Lingyun Sect, and the number of core foundation-building immortal masters and advanced Qi Refiners is only about 70% of the other party.

Although they think they have a solid foundation, everyone also knows that the Lingyun Sect has indeed developed much faster than the Chonghua Sect in the past twenty years. This is an indisputable fact.

Although some people can't stand the Lingyun Sect's arrogance, they are allies after all.

Seeing how anxious Lingyun Sect was now, especially when they were constantly being provoked by the aggressive Baishimen, there was still a sense of crisis within the Chonghua Sect.

Therefore, at the beginning of the year, when the Deacon Council decided whether to continue sending people to help Lingyun Sect investigate and stabilize the situation, although there were some differences of opinion, Wu Tianen was eventually sent to lead people there, and even increased the number of people.

"What else do you want to say? In my place, just say it, there is no need to taboo anything." Guo Chongdao couldn't help but ask again.

"Then this disciple is so arrogant?" Chen Huaisheng glanced at Guo Chongdao.

Guo Chongdao's face sank, "Just say it, it's just you and me."

"Okay, another disciple thinks that our Chonghua sect may be a little conservative. We haven't seen any elders in our sect. It is said that there are, but only two. The number is far behind Lingyun Sect and Baishimen. Of course I still agree that we should be more cautious when choosing elders, but if we had applied earlier, wouldn’t we be more comfortable now? Secondly, our sect pays more attention to cultivation and lacks enough emphasis on experience, which leads to There are many disciples in our sect who seem to be strong in terms of strength, but once they go out, their ability to do things is poor, and when encountering unexpected events, their ability to adapt is even weaker, and it is easy to cause unnecessary casualties and losses..."

If the first point is not a big deal, because the Chonghua Sect has always valued the cultivation of its own disciples and does not rely on guest officials, then the second point is a major drawback.

Cultivation is very important, which is also the foundation of the Chonghua Sect. Therefore, the Chonghua Sect does not pay much attention to aspects such as talismans, magic weapons, and beast control. It also does not pay much attention to going out to experience and enhance the ability to deal with actual combat.

It would be fine in a peaceful world, but now that the situation is turbulent, this shortcoming appears to be fatal.

Guo Chongdao was touched by Chen Huaisheng's words.

The current situation is indeed a bit turbulent. Langling is a small mansion, sandwiched between Huozhou in the north and Yiyang in the west. It is Wuyue in the east and Nanchu in the south. It can be said to be the place of four battles.

The Baishimen of Huozhou is eyeing the Chonghua sect. Nanchu in the south seemed to be able to live in harmony with Da Zhao. However, in the past ten years, the relationship between the Da Zhao royal family and the Nan Chu royal family seems to have become somewhat discordant. This will inevitably make people in the border areas The situation becomes delicate.

If the Chonghua Sect is not prepared, they will be caught off guard if something happens.

"Huaisheng, isn't it too late to make these preparations now?" Guo Chongdao pondered: "Besides, even if we want to increase experience opportunities for everyone now, we should start in the middle hall, right?"

"Master Guo, as long as you take action, it's never too late. It's better than never. And the disciples think that the same should be done in the outer hall. At least disciples like Jiashe who have successfully refined their qi should boldly go out to practice. Of course, this This kind of experience is not aimless, nor is it unprepared. We should consider letting the disciples in the central hall or inner hall take them out to practice together and participate in some actions that suit them."

Chen Huaisheng's suggestion made Guo Chongdao fall into deep thought. This was not something he could decide. It needed to be decided by the deacons, but he could make suggestions.

"I understand this matter, so what are your next plans?" Guo Chongdao nodded: "The second level of Qi refining requires persistent practice. Apart from this, do you think about anything else?"

Success in refining Qi means that you can consider practicing other spells, and you can also be competent in activating more talismans and magic weapons.

But if you want to make talismans, refine magic weapons, and raise spiritual beasts, you are still unable to do so.

Generally speaking, one needs to be at the third level of Qi refining to be involved in refining magic weapons and raising spiritual beasts, and it takes a high level of Qi refining to draw talismans.

The top priority, in addition to continuing to practice and improve the strength of his spiritual body as soon as possible, is to selectively practice some spells.

"Disciples are also considering choosing two or three spells to practice. They should become familiar with them as soon as possible and practice them to a certain level so that they can be quickly used in actual combat."

Chen Huaisheng's answer made Guo Chongdao quite satisfied, and he didn't want to be greedy for more.

"Tell me, which ones are they?"

"The first is Tianluo Dharma Shield." Chen Huaisheng also found this Taoist book in Daojing Pavilion. Many people should have read it, but no one was willing to choose it.

The reason is very simple. The requirements for Taoist bones are extremely high, the progress of practice is very slow, and at the same time, using it consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Of course, the advantages are also obvious. This spell is very effective against weapon cultivation, including sword cultivation, and the level limit is relatively high. Unlike some spells, there is no room for improvement after practicing to a certain level, and you need to re-train other spells to make up for it. .

"Huai Sheng, I know that Tianluo Dharma Shield is suitable for you because of your thick Dao bones, but your cultivation progress is very slow. It may take a year and a half to reach the first level, and the difficulty becomes more and more difficult in the later stages of upgrading..." Guo Chongdao thought for a moment and nodded: "You made a good choice in this spell."

"The other one is the Yin Ming Arrow."

Chen Huaisheng's second sentence surprised Guo Chongdao again.

"Yin Ming Arrow?!" He looked Chen Huaisheng up and down and said suspiciously: "Huaisheng, if I remember correctly, your spiritual root has no attributes, right? Is Yin Ming Arrow suitable for you?"

Yinming Arrow is a typical spell with strong attributes, which means it has certain requirements for spiritual roots.

Water-based spiritual roots are the most suitable, followed by wood-based spiritual roots. Spiritual roots with fire, earth, and metal properties are not suitable and are difficult to cultivate.

It is not easy to practice this spell with neutral attribute spiritual roots, and it is also difficult to practice Yinming Arrow to a high level.

"Back to Master Guo, the disciple's spiritual roots are neutral and do not choose spells. Of course, Master Guo's worries are correct. It is not easy to cultivate and practice well, but the disciple is now at the first level of Qi refining and needs to find an attack power. Strong and easy-to-cultivate spells are not easy to find in the first place, but the disciples of this spell think that the spell casting is concealed and has strong attack power, so the disciple thought about it again and again and chose it."

Guo Chongdao shook his head.

He was not very optimistic about the spell chosen by Chen Huaisheng, but he also knew that Chen Huaisheng was a determined person and it was difficult to change what he had decided, so he did not interfere.

And the other party is right. There is not much room for choice in the first level of Qi refining. The progress of practicing any type of magic with neutral attribute spiritual roots will not be fast, but it will not be too slow either.

Therefore, the Yinming Arrow is not very good, but it cannot be said to be too bad either.

"Forget it, now that you have decided, just go and practice on your own, is there anything else?" Guo Chongdao was still very concerned about Chen Huaisheng.

"Then there's the Aiki combo chop." Chen Huaisheng said again.

Upon hearing this, Guo Chongdao knew that this was a neutral attack spell that relied purely on spiritual power, and he narrowed his eyes again.

Why was Chen Huaisheng's choice so unexpected?

The first two are highly challenging, so why does the third gate suddenly become so common?

This spell is too ordinary. It has no characteristics at all and the level is not high. It is estimated that the peak level is level 3. Its origin is to gather spiritual power in a short time to activate the weapon in a very small space to launch continuous slashing attacks. .
