Everyone was shocked and envious of Chen Huaisheng's two-year retreat to break through the third level. They all wanted to understand how Chen Huaisheng did this.

You must know that Chen Huaisheng has already had the experience of breaking through the second level in a row.

Back in Huiyan Valley, he went straight from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one go, which made countless people look at him. Now he has gone a step further, going straight from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

These disciples of the Yuanhe Sect, including Xuan Chimei, were extremely curious as to how Chen Huaisheng could advance in leaps and bounds over and over again. This was not in line with the common practice of cultivation. There are cases where he accumulates little knowledge, but often

They all stagnate at a certain level for too long, and finally break through suddenly.

But Chen Huaisheng, who has never been promoted for more than two years, cannot be said to have accumulated a lot of experience. It is unheard of to build the fourth level of foundation after seven years of entry.

This is no longer something that can be explained by his extraordinary talent, nor is it the reason why Chen Huaisheng is so diligent in his own practice. Rather, it should be the combination of many factors that allowed Chen Huaisheng to achieve such an almost mythical feat.

The disciples of the Yuan He Sect were treated with courtesy at first after they entered the Chonghua Sect. After all, the Jiulian Sect collapsed. The Chonghua Sect had to give a warm welcome to the courtesy corporal, and also treat the Yuhan Sect and the Guipeng Sect as newcomers.

A better demonstration.

However, after the disciples of Yuhan Sect and Guipeng Sect joined, and more and more disciples of other Jiulian Sect were affected by the affiliation of these three sects, more and more disciples came to Hebei, and the number soared rapidly.

The situation has changed.

Even excluding the three sects of Yuanhe, Yuhan and Guipeng, the disciples of several other sects of Jiulian quickly increased from a few dozen at the beginning to dozens, and later to more than a hundred and close to 200.

, to this day, there are still scattered disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect coming to Wolong Ridge to serve.

Most of these scattered disciples came to join us because they had been casual cultivators for a period of time and felt that life was difficult. Some of them had stayed in those sects after being annexed and suffered exclusion and discrimination.

I was having a good time there, so I kept coming here one after another.

During the last six months of Chen Huaisheng's retreat, there was even a small climax. At one time, more than ten people came to join the retreat in a month.

However, times have changed, and when more and more disciples from the Jiulian Sect come to vote, the minds of the senior officials of the Chonghua Sect have changed somewhat.

Especially with more than 800 disciples, it already has the size of a large sect, and the economic pressure it brings is also huge.

Moreover, these disciples did not join in the early stages, but came later. Their loyalty is self-evident, and there are not many among them with particularly outstanding qualifications and talents.

From the perspective of the old Chonghua sect and even the original Ding family and Lingyun sect, it is not the best choice to recruit these disciples on a large scale.

However, this Haikou has been boasted for a long time. If we change the policy and refuse to accept it, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Chonghua Sect itself, and it will also chill the disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect who have already entered the Chonghua Sect, so this is impossible to do.

.

Especially since there are two characters, Linghu Zui and Du Guo, who represent the interests of the disciples of the Jiulian Sect. Even Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou and Li Yu have to worry about this and can only bite the bullet and continue to accept them.

Of course, large-scale propaganda has long since disappeared. In addition, after entering a sect, you must carefully screen to prevent undercover agents sent in by other sects.

All in all, as the number of disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect within the Chonghua Sect increases, the preferential treatment given to these disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect within the sect becomes less and less favorable, and then they are treated equally.

This contrast was felt most deeply in the hearts of the disciples of the Yuanhe Sect who were the first to join.

As for the Yuhan Sect, they still have Linghu Zui who can take the lead, but it is difficult to take care of other Jiulian Sect branches.

Du Guo has been in seclusion to recuperate before his injury heals, so it is difficult to interrupt. The disciples of Yuanhe Sect and other sects are still feeling quite lost.

This mentality and emotion are also reflected in disciples including Yu Xianxian, Xu Beihuai, Zhang Zhiruo and Wei Wuyang.

I think back then, Chen Huaisheng relied on Xuan Chimei and Yi Chuyang's reputation to enter the Chonghua Sect through the back door. He had no qualifications to join the Jiulian Sect, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

Unexpectedly, just seven years later, he has not only established the middle stage of the foundation, but also become a prominent figure in the Chonghua Sect. He is the exclusive Dongfu Taoist Academy and has a vague leadership posture. However, his group is still refining Qi.

Wandering in the middle.

The sect's monthly schedule also made them feel stretched. Those from better-off families could still make ends meet, but those from worse-off families found it even more difficult to survive.

But even disciples like Wei Wuyang and Xu Beihuai who came from well-off families were extremely envious of Chen Huaisheng. There was such a huge gap between them in the middle stage of foundation building and those who were still in the middle stage of Qi refining. It was a world of difference.

Is Chen Huaisheng's qualifications and talents really that much better than theirs?

Even Xuan Chimei, a once-in-a-century prodigy, was thrown down a few places. Is there no other reason for this?

??????55.??????

Although the Chonghua Sect has been bullied by Baishimen in the past few years, they have shown an unyielding attitude. Even though they were exiled to Hebei, they still showed the momentum of flourishing and swallowing up mountains and rivers.

Before, the Chonghua Sect did not even have a real person from the Zifu, but Shang Jiuling, Zhu Fengbi and even Li Yu successively ascended to the Zifu within five years, and suddenly jumped from an unknown third-rate local sect to a first-tier sect approaching the status of a major sect.

A rising star.

Three Purple Mansion in Five Years!

How difficult is it for Zifu?!

Even sects such as Tianyun Sect and Taihua Dao can only produce one Zifu in ten or twenty years. For example, their Yuanhe Sect only has two Zifus in one year, and in the past forty years

There is no such thing as a Zifu.

Seeing that the oldest Zi Mansion has grown old and has no successors, Jiulian Sect is almost always in this situation, which is why its ranking in the Taoist Association drops rapidly, and then it is coveted by others and eventually eaten away.

What does it mean to belong to the Chonghua faction? Isn’t it just to have a brighter and more stable future, and to have a more promising personal future?

Wei Wuyang and Xu Aihuai's family background is not bad. If they go back to their hometown in Da Zhao to work as casual cultivators, they can live a leisurely life of being rich and content, but this is not their goal.

They know very well that once they leave the sect and become casual cultivators, they will most likely be able to live in Qi training, and even foundation building will become a luxury.

The story of a casual cultivator encountering adventures one after another, relying on his own qualifications and talents to practice hard, and not bullying the young man to practice against the will of heaven, and finally become a Zifu only exists in the dramas of storytellers in teahouses and restaurants. It’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s real.

It is so rare that it is talked about by ordinary people in dramas.

Because of this, Xuan Chimei joined Bailu Taoist Academy. Those of them who had known Xuanchimei since childhood and knew her well were not as surprised and puzzled as others, but they were still curious about how Chen Huaisheng came to be.

Being able to achieve such a rise against the heavens, and what can they gain from it.

So when Xuan Chimei invited them to visit Bailu Taoist Temple, they all readily agreed. At that time, they didn't know that Chen Huaisheng had broken the third level in two years, and they only thought that Chen Huaisheng might have another breakthrough.

He has advanced to the second level of foundation building.

Even so, in their view, it is still an act against nature.

Seven years is nothing to a practitioner.

The more common ones are the second level of Qi Refining, the third level of Qi Refining that progresses faster, the ones with stronger talents, those who practice hard and have the resources to keep up are the fourth level of Qi Refining, which can be considered quite excellent, and the fifth level of Qi Refining

Zhong, basically the one who stands out among the entire group of disciples.

After seven years of foundation building, at least they haven't seen it yet.

When I came today, I learned from Xuan Chimei that Chen Huaisheng had been in seclusion for two years, broke three levels in a row, and had already reached the fourth level of foundation building, which was the real middle stage of foundation building.

Now the number of foundation-building monks in the entire Chonghua sect sounds quite large, thirty-seven, but there are only 24 people building the initial stage of the foundation, only eight people building the middle stage, and five people building the high stage.

Moreover, among the thirteen middle- and high-level foundation builders, four are already over one hundred and thirty-four years old. In other words, these four people basically have no room for improvement. Among the remaining nine, none are over ninety years old.

There are only two below, or in other words, under a hundred years old, one is at the high level of foundation building of Yuhan Sect, and the other is at the middle level of foundation building of Lingyun Sect.

It can be seen that it is difficult to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, which requires thirty to fifty years of hard work. This is also the basic situation of almost all sects and aristocratic families, including those super sects.

Among those super sects and gate lords, there are those who have already advanced to the middle and high levels of foundation building in their thirties and fifties, but such talents are rare, and they are basically cultivated as the future core figures of the sect.

Now everyone has finally met someone in the Chonghua sect, and he is someone close to him, and he has had the experience of interacting with him before.

They can't tell where Chen Huaisheng will go in the future, but now they are sure that deepening the relationship between the two parties will only have benefits and no harm.

"Wu Yang, Sad Huai, Zhi Ruo, welcome, welcome. You have been in Hebei for more than a year, but I have been in retreat and have not been able to meet. It is rare to come to my humble residence today and have a drink. ...

"

Chen Huaisheng is very enthusiastic, and he also knows that this group of people are very sensitive now, and how to communicate with them is also very demanding.

Xuan Chimei told him about the current situation of the dozens of people in Yuanhe Sect.

Du Guo's injury has not healed, which makes everyone anxious, but even if Du Guo returns to the state of Zifu, it is hard to say where the disciples of Yuan He Sect will go.

Not to mention Xu Beihuai, Ling Fan is not a disciple of the Yuan He Sect. It is difficult for them to empathize with people like the Yuan He Sect. They may have their own ideas when they come this time.
