When Hu Delu and others arrived at Wolong Ridge, it was already the end of March.
They were the last to arrive.
Their arrival also marked the end of the Chonghua faction's northward migration and the official entry into the reconstruction phase of settling in Hebei.
Before their arrival, the Chonghua Party's liaison, infiltration, and wooing work in surrounding areas were also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The second batch of new disciples from Fuyang Dao have also arrived.
The number of mortals and Taoists in Longlin Plain has reached nearly a thousand.
Their main task is to rebuild and repair the old residence courtyards and main halls on the original site of Dongxuanzong, so as to establish the structure of the Chonghua Sect as soon as possible.
Most of the Longlinyuan side has been cleared, leaving only a few relatively remote houses that have not yet been repaired there.
In addition, after planning the situation on Longlinyuan, the Chonghua Sect also invested heavily in the construction of the mountain protection array.
In Langling, the mountain protection formation of Panshan Langshan played a huge role.
Baishimen's crazy attack failed to break through the mountain-protecting formation, which shows the power and effectiveness of the mountain-protecting formation.
If it weren't for Tong Baichuan's betrayal and defeat of the Formation Eye Technique from within, Baishimen might not have been able to succeed even if it had been joined by Zhang Taiquan, the evil cultivator of Wu Yue from Zifu.
The mountain-protecting array can play such a huge role, and its consumption is naturally huge.
Several types of spiritual metals such as elixir gold, mithril, meteorite copper, and obsidian iron, as well as spiritual stones that support the operation of the magic circle, and other types of spiritual materials are all heavily invested.
But for the Chonghua sect, which has suffered enough and tasted the sweetness, it is all worth it.
Especially in Hebei, a dangerous place surrounded by crises, we cannot and dare not save any investment in this area.
New rules also began to be implemented, and the sect began to promote a new apprenticeship system and a reward system for sect disciples to encourage outstanding talents to stand out.
"Senior Sister Tong has gone on a trip." Hu Delu said while looking at the surrounding scenery: "Senior Sister Fang, I went to check before I left. Everything is normal. She went to Luoyi, I don't know when she will come back."
Chen Huaisheng did not agree to Fang Baoqi coming to Hebei.
Although Fang Baoqi has advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Chen Huaisheng feels that his state of mind and fighting will have not improved.
In a land full of tigers and wolves like Hebei, coming here will only distract you.
Fang Baoqi couldn't win over Chen Huaisheng, so she had to give up, but she agreed that she would come to Hebei for one year. As for whether she would stay in Hebei or not, that was another matter.
Tong Tong's knot in his heart cannot be untied now.
Although she has great affection for the Chonghua Sect, her uncle rebelled and became a member of the Baishi Sect. Even if she denies him, the top leaders of the sect will not care, but she cannot pass her own test.
So in the end I can only travel first and wait until later.
The scenery here in Hebei is somewhat different from that in Langling.
If Panshan Langshan is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a sense of purity that nourishes people, then Wolong Mountain here is steep and majestic, with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
But one thing is the same, that is, they are all places with rich spiritual energy, otherwise they would not be chosen as the place where the mountain gate is located.
"Well." Chen Huaisheng also had a look of longing on his face.
Having been in Hebei for so long, I am busy with various affairs almost every day. Apart from morning and evening classes, I cannot stop at all, and I am also involved in various general affairs.
Although Wu Tianen was promised to give up his mundane duties and devote himself to cultivation, everyone knew that he would not be able to rest until the sect was completely settled, even Wu Tianen was the same.
When I became busy, I thought less about other things. When Hu Delu was mentioned, all kinds of emotions spread in my heart.
Seeing Chen Huaisheng's eyes blurred and his expression confused, Hu Delu couldn't help but shake his head.
Women would only affect his own practice. He had made up his mind not to taint the love between his children until he established the foundation. As a senior brother, he was good at everything, but he made a mistake here.
If he could calm down, he might not be able to build the foundation before the age of forty. In Hu Delu's view, this was already the limit of genius. If he could build the foundation before the age of sixty, it would be a lifelong pursuit.
After being silent for a while, Chen Huaisheng slowly came to his senses and realized that he was really a bit obsessed.
"De Lu, what are your next plans?" Chen Huaisheng composed himself, "At the third level of Qi refining, there is a long way to go. You also need to work hard."
"Brother, haven't I worked hard enough?" Hu Delu said with a correct attitude, "You can't put me and you on the same line to compare. Things like the third level this year and the fourth level next year are not my turn. I have self-awareness."
Chen Huaisheng was speechless.
This is originally the case. It would be unbelievable if someone like Chen Huaisheng could reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in just three years.
"Then do you have the intention to become a disciple?" Chen Huaisheng mainly asked this question.
After the new system of apprenticeship and apprenticeship comes out, disciples below the advanced level of Qi Refining in the Chuangong Academy are theoretically qualified to become apprentices, but the number of Taoist masters who can accept apprentices is limited.
Needless to say, everyone wants to be a disciple of the Sect Master and Chief Elder, but the conditions for accepting disciples are definitely very strict and the number of places is very small.
For example, Shang Jiuling has not considered accepting any more disciples, while Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong are regarded as closed disciples.
Zhu Fengbi will definitely accept disciples, but the number will not be large.
Other foundation-building Taoist masters such as You Shaoyou, Xu Muyang, Ma Daochun, Wu Tianen, Wang Yao, etc. may also choose the best to accept disciples, but they themselves also hope to advance in practice and cannot invest too much energy in it.
It’s about teaching apprentices, so there is definitely a limit on the number.
The only ones left are those at the higher levels of Qi Refining.
People like Xu Tianfeng and Cao Renben are now focused on attacking the foundation. People like Liu Chun, Yao Liwei and others also want to make breakthroughs in their spiritual practice. In addition, they have to be responsible for some general affairs, so they have to be distracted from recruiting disciples.
Disciple, I'm afraid it's also difficult.
People like Zhao Sitian who are willing to take the initiative to recruit disciples are just choosing one or two people based on their merits.
In this way, it can be said that for the more than 200 Chonghua disciples in the middle and lower levels of Qi Refining, it is just a drop in the bucket.
"I haven't thought about it. If I can become a disciple of all the foundation-building immortal masters, I would naturally be willing to do so. But if it's something else, I don't think it makes much sense."
Hu Delu is already at the third level of qi refining. He is not the kind of entry-level disciple who has just realized the Tao or just succeeded in refining qi. Naturally, he has his own considerations.
It can be said that Hu Delu's qualifications may not be high in the selection of these foundation builders.
And based on the considerations of these people, they may also be more willing to match high and low, and choose some disciples who have good aptitudes, talents, and a certain level to match with some disciples who are just starting out.
In this way, the former has strong receptive ability and some teaching ability. The latter, that is, the new juniors and juniors can teach the skills on their behalf, and they can free up their own energy to practice or deal with common affairs.
Therefore, Hu Delu, who is in the third level of Qi refining, is not suitable. Disciples who are in the middle stage of Qi refining are often the most suitable.
People like Chen Huaisheng who are at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining are the most suitable.
"If you have a goal of your own, you don't necessarily have to worship anyone as your teacher." Chen Huaisheng mused: "As long as you perform well enough, the sect will see it. From the current policy, resources will be more focused on performance.
Outstanding disciples will have greater leeway in choosing exercises."
Chen Huaisheng originally wanted to recommend Hu Delu to Wu Tianen, but seeing that Hu Delu didn't have much enthusiasm to become his disciple, he thought it would be better to take another look. If Hu Delu really performed well in the Chuan Gong Academy, that would be fine.
It is not necessary to become a disciple.
Chen Huaisheng's words made Hu Delu a little moved, "Is there more room for choice in terms of exercises? Isn't it limited to those in the original Sutra Pavilion?"
"The Sutra Pavilion also has internal and external levels, but this time the sect has made up its mind. All we need to do is submit an application and get approval." Chen Huaisheng nodded.
At this point, he will also have greater privileges, and some exercises that were previously kept secret will be submitted to him for selection. As long as he needs it, basically all the exercises of the Chonghua Sect will be open to him.
Before this, Chen Huaisheng didn't know that the Sutra Pavilion was actually different from the inside and the outside. He thought that what he saw was everything, but later he realized that he was too naive.
Wealth Law Couple Land, this law is ranked second. Any disciple can see it at a glance. There are also strict boundaries here.
For example, what you can see below the middle level of Qi Refining is all that is announced to the outside world. Only when you enter the high level of Qi Refining and obtain the approval of the Deacons and Elders Council can you see the secrets of the second level of exercises.
At the foundation building stage, basically everyone can see it, except for some extremely special techniques that can only be viewed by the three giants: the leader, the leader, and the chief elder.
In a sense, the reason why Tong Baichuan is dissatisfied is that he thinks that he cannot see the skills that only Shang Jiuling, Li Yu and Zhu Fengbi can see. As a result, it is difficult for him to make breakthroughs, so he is determined to
Have second thoughts and eventually rebel.
Similarly, Baishimen also used this kind of temptation, promising to let him read the skills in Baishimen that could break through the situation and enter the Dengzi Mansion, which made Tong Baichuan's heart flutter.
Of course, this point has not changed now. Unless it is jointly approved by Shang Jiuling, Li Yu and Zhu Fengbi, some of the most secret techniques and secrets cannot be handed over to others for viewing.
However, now the key points of the Kung Fu techniques have also been greatly relaxed. As long as they are disciples of the sect, they originally had to be at a high level of Qi refining before they can view them. All of them have been approved by the Supreme Court of Chuangong Academy or their master.
You can watch it, and if you want to watch higher-level exercises, you can also submit an application and submit it to the Board of Deacons and Elders for approval.
Although Chen Huaisheng is still in the middle of Qi refining, he has also received special approval. Except for the highest-level exercises and secrets, all others are allowed to be viewed. He has also selected two or three exercises and is ready to wait until the right time.
Practice with all your strength.
