"Congratulations, uncle." Chen Huaisheng looked at Wu Tianen, who had a warm complexion and seemed to have darkened even his gray temples, and congratulated him sincerely.
There was a smile on Wu Tianen's lips. Even though he rarely smiled, he couldn't help but be filled with joy when someone celebrated a happy event and his most admired and closest "disciple" came to congratulate him.
Chen Huaisheng can no longer be regarded as his disciple, but should be the direct disciple of the head senior brother.
But Wu Tianen knew that the head master had too many brothers and was busy with general affairs. In fact, he did not have much affection for these disciples to teach them. It was more to select outstanding disciples from the sect and grant them this status, so that they could
You can get more resources and improve your level faster.
So in a sense, these disciples of Shang Jiuling are more of the direct disciples of the sect leader, and they can be regarded as the core disciples trained for the entire sect.
Of course, this does not mean that Shang Jiuling did not have any kindness towards these disciples.
He also guided and mentored these disciples, but they were far less close than other masters and disciples, and the relationship was not as deep.
From Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng, Liu Chun, Yao Liwei to Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, Tong Tong, a group of disciples may be recruited in the next step.
If you do some calculations, you will understand that Shang Jiuling cannot have so much energy to teach Taoism.
What's more, he himself also needs to continue to advance in the realm of Zifu, and he needs to focus more on his own cultivation, both in public and private matters.
On the contrary, after people like Zhu Fengbi, You Shaoyou, Xu Muyang, and even Wang Yao and Zhao Sitian accepted disciples, they were able to devote more energy to teaching disciples and passing on their skills.
Wu Tian'en also knew that Chen Huaisheng was a grateful person. He introduced him to him and he has always been very close to him. No matter whether it was Guo Chongdao's deliberate kindness when he was in Chuan Gong Academy or his later acceptance by Li Yu as the head's direct disciple, nothing happened.
Being able to change this situation makes Wu Tianen very happy.
It's not that I really hope that the other person will get close to me, but I feel that I didn't choose the wrong person.
He was very proud of his vision. You must know that Qiao Zhun looked down on Chen Huaisheng at the beginning, but he chose Chen Huaisheng against all opinions. Now it seems that whether it is for himself or the sect,
Chen Huaisheng is an extremely correct choice.
"Haha, it's worth being happy, but there is no need to praise Huaisheng too much. I have been building foundation for more than five years. Now I have broken through and advanced to the second level of foundation building. It is already very slow. Look at you, maybe wait a little longer.
In a few years, you will surpass me. How old are you? I am already eighty-eight."
Although Wu Tianen was happy, he still couldn't help but sigh and sigh in his words.
I was already sixty when I refined Qi to the seventh level, and now this person has already reached the seventh level of Qi refining. How many years is there before he reaches the second level of foundation building?
I really can’t tell, maybe five years, maybe ten years?
"Master, why should you be so modest? Five years to build the second level of the foundation is very fast. Although the disciple has been faster in the past few years, there are also various opportunities and luck. After advancing to the advanced stage of Qi refining, he is not so good.
It’s simple, the disciples have already felt the difference now,..."
Chen Huaisheng's words made Wu Tianen shake his head: "Huaisheng, you told me not to be humble, and you should not belittle yourself. The last time you retreated for half a year, you failed to break through the seventh level of Qi refining. I thought you had really encountered a bottleneck, but I didn't expect it.
You went out and practiced for a while and then you broke through the most critical step in this Qi refining stage. I believe that whether it was Zhao Sitian or Yao Liwei when they were at the sixth level of Qi refining, it would be difficult for them to do what you are doing now."
Wu Tianen's words made it difficult for Chen Huaisheng to explain.
The reality is this. I have indeed broken through to the high level of Qi refining that many people have been unable to reach even after exhausting their whole lives. However, at this age, it is difficult for people to believe and accept it. If I say more, I will appear to be hypocritical.
"Uncle, my disciple is indeed..."
"Okay, no need to say more, this is a gratifying thing." Wu Tianen waved his hands, his eyes full of emotion and appreciation, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip, and advancing to the high level of Qi Refining is a completely different thing.
It’s a different stage, you have to think carefully about your plans for the next few years, uh, even prepare for foundation building.”
Chen Huaisheng was taken aback and said quickly: "Uncle, this disciple is only at the seventh level of Qi refining, so he is still far away from establishing the foundation. It will be at least eight or ten years later..."
Wu Tianen shook his head: "The outside world seems to think that there are still several steps to go from the seventh level of Qi refining to foundation building, but this is a superficial phenomenon. Some people may have difficulty making progress after breaking through the seventh level of Qi refining, but some people may be unstoppable.
The eighth level and the ninth level all went smoothly, just like when you went from the second level to the fourth level of Qi Refining, didn't you also move quickly in seclusion and move as fast as a broken bamboo?"
Chen Huaisheng was stunned for a moment.
He knew that his one-and-a-half-year retreat to break through the second level had become a legend within the sect, and the impact it had was so great that he was somewhat mythologized.
Breaking the second level in one retreat, has this happened to other sects?
Maybe there is, maybe there is not, but it has never happened in the Chonghua Sect. He is the founder of history. He has already been written into the sect's memorandum and will be recorded forever.
It was also because of his performance that Li Yu was included as a disciple of the headmaster, otherwise it would have been impossible given his age and time of entry.
"Uncle, that was the first stage of Qi training. Now we are in the advanced stage of Qi training. This disciple is not so arrogant..." Chen Huaisheng said subconsciously.
"No, it's not different. It may not even be as good as your last retreat..." Wu Tianen shook his head disapprovingly: "The last time you broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, you didn't even use the Yancao Pill. You know that
But in the middle of the first stage, you still jumped over it. Now you have reached the seventh level. I think it will be difficult to hinder you in the subsequent eight and nine levels. At most, it is just a matter of time and accumulation. Breaking through is not a problem..."
"Master uncle means that perhaps what the disciple needs to consider most in the next few years is the peak, or the leap from the peak to foundation building?"
Chen Huaisheng asked the key question.
Wu Tianen stroked his beard hesitantly and was silent for a long time. Finally he got up and walked around the hall before slowly saying: "Many geniuses often get stuck in the most unexpected places. For example, from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, many people are
It is a process of accumulation. With qualifications like mine, it only took me one and a half years, and I passed it mediocrely. When I reached the peak, it took me ten years to build the foundation, but it was like Senior Brother Li Yu who was much better than my natural qualifications.
, How many years did it take to go from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, seven years! For seven years, I almost broke Senior Brother Li Yu, but he just couldn't find that state..."
Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide in disbelief.
With the talent of being in charge of the academy, he actually spent seven years stuck in a small ninth level of Qi training to reach the peak of Qi training?
In the minds of many people, even a single level of difference does not count, it is just a difference in the feeling of a state.
For example, Yu Fengqian herself said that it only took a few months for him to build the foundation at the ninth level, and even she herself didn't have much impression or feeling.
"Why, I can't believe it?" Wu Tianen smiled, "This is the fact. Even the head brother spent five years at the ninth level of Qi Refining to reach the peak of Qi Refining, but after Senior Brother Li Yu was promoted to the peak of Qi Refining, he only needed
It took two and a half years to successfully build the foundation, and it only took the head senior brother only three years..."
Chen Huaisheng thought thoughtfully: "It took Senior Brother Wang Yao six years to successfully build the foundation, but it only took him three years to reach the peak of Qi refining at the ninth level..."
It seems like this is a balance. There is a slight gap between geniuses and non-geniuses, but it won't be too far apart?
Is that so?
But for Yu Fengqian, it takes half a year to reach the peak of Qi refining from the ninth level of Qi refining, and less than half a year to reach the peak of Qi refining to build the foundation. So what do you mean?
Super genius?
"What I want to say is that maybe going from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining will not be a hindrance to you. Maybe once every one or two years, maybe even once a year. But from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, maybe it will
It's different, maybe not, I can't tell." Wu Tianen smiled, "I guess even the head brother probably doesn't know how you should explore your own path now, so he won't give you direct advice.
You, and more importantly, let yourself follow your own feelings..."
Chen Huaisheng nodded silently.
With my current state and progress, I'm afraid it's really hard to give guidance.
It is said that the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual. But from the beginning, the sect has provided you with some options for you to choose on your own without giving too much rigid guidance, so you can improve and grow at will.
Bar.
But this method may not be suitable for other people, maybe it is just me who is a cheater.
"Then disciple..." Chen Huaisheng was a little confused.
"Go your own way, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions, whether it's Senior Brother Zhu, Senior Brother You, Tianfeng, Sitian or the others." Wu Tianen waved his hand, "You can listen, but you have to make your own decisions, including you in the Chuan Gong Academy.
I have selected a few disciples to try and give guidance. As long as it is beneficial to you and beneficial to them, you can try it..."
It seems that many people are still dissatisfied with his recruitment of "small groups" and "small circles", but Chen Huaisheng doesn't care.
I can't help everyone, so naturally I can only choose people close to me to help.
I don’t want to accept a disciple myself, so it’s up to me which method I choose.
As the direct disciple of the sect leader, I also have this privilege.
As for the criticism and questioning within the sect, no matter what you do, there will be criticism and questioning. This kind of criticism and questioning has been with you since you started. The earliest was Qiao Zhun, later Yuan Wenbo and Tong Tong, and then there were even more.
But there is no need to care about it.
There is nothing better than using performance to conquer and slap someone in the face.
