Chen Huaisheng can roughly feel the complicated and unspeakable feeling in this junior sister's heart, but this junior sister Ding has become a disciple of the master and has made rapid progress, and is now at the fifth level of Qi refining.

The reason why she caught Shang Jiuling's eye was not just because she was Ding Zongshou's great-granddaughter. Her qualifications and talents were definitely above the standard, otherwise Shang Jiuling would not have accepted her.

His mother is only at the seventh level of Qi refining, but she has already reached the fifth level. Under Shang Jiuling's sect, it shouldn't be difficult to break through the seventh level of Qi refining in five to eight years.

Shang Jiuling also felt the touch in the heart of his youngest female disciple. Even he was shocked, let alone her.

His father had just established the foundation, but his father was already over fifty. He was considered a young hero in the sect, but compared with Chen Huaisheng, he was not on the same level.

With this huge contrast, it's no wonder she was a little distracted.

"Senior Brother Chen's progress is simply unbelievable. I remember that when we first met the year before last, he was just like my mother at the seventh level of Qi training, right? It's only been two years, and Senior Brother has already established the foundation."

Ding Xizhen couldn't help but sigh, her words were full of longing and aftertaste, and she was a bit excited.

She didn't think as much as her parents or even her grandfather and great-grandfather. After all, she was only a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the Ding family didn't instill too many other thoughts in her.

Ding Xizhen is very good at talking. After all, she came from a group of casual cultivators. Since she was able to become a disciple of Shang Jiuling, she must have made special arrangements with her grandfather and parents.

This was a bit of a language error, and it seemed to have more special meaning for the senior brother and sister, but neither of them or even Shang Jiuling cared about it.

"Well, I may disappoint my junior sister. Brother Yu is always at Yunzhong Mountain and rarely comes to the mountain gate..." Chen Huaisheng smiled.

Shang Jiuling was even thinking that if Chen Huaisheng really became a Taoist couple with Ding Xizhen, it would be a win-win situation and would be of great benefit to the stability of the sect.

"Then senior brother, we have made an agreement." The smile on Ding Xizhen's face could easily melt into people's hearts, making Chen Huaisheng scream in his heart.

When Chen Huaisheng left, Shang Jiuling was still whispering, while Ding Xizhen stood aside knowingly and waited until Chen Huaisheng and Shang Jiuling finished talking before coming over gracefully.

"Well, although my little sister may not have the chance to play, I still hope to go to Bianjing to see the grand scene." Ding Xizhen looked forward to it: "My little sister hopes to go with my senior brother."

In contrast, Xizhen is much more motivated. It is not impossible before he reaches forty, and his future is much brighter.

Under the face of the other party's dimple-filled smile, Chen Huaisheng couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only reluctantly nod: "If you want to go, there will definitely be someone flying to see you off from the sect, and you must be traveling with us."

As for the fact that Fang Baoqi had always lived in Chen Huaisheng Cave, Shang Jiuling naturally knew it.

But Ding Xizhen was not willing to give up, and smiled sweetly: "What if little sister comes to Yunzhong Mountain? I have long heard about senior brother's Bailu Cave Mansion Yasai Paradise on Earth, but little sister has never been there before being invited by senior brother.

…”

And she also has two younger brothers, one of whom is only twelve years old and has just awakened his spiritual roots. His parents' thoughts should be on his younger brother.

Chen Huaisheng subconsciously glanced at Shang Jiuling, who was sitting on the side with a smile and said nothing. He had no choice but to say: "Of course you are welcome. If my junior sister can come, Brother Yu will naturally sweep the bed and wait for her."

"Thank you for your encouragement, senior brother. My little sister has become a disciple of the master. In addition to receiving the daily teachings from the master, I also hope to communicate and learn more with the senior brothers. I also hope that the senior brothers will not hesitate to teach me."

Besides, the Chonghua Sect itself cannot help but practice dual cultivation, and it is normal to have one or two Taoist companions. For example, among the disciples from the original Lingyun Sect, many of the disciples who came from the Lingyun Sect are dual cultivators with two or three Taoist companions.

Of course, as a daughter of the Ding family, it is necessary to choose a suitable Taoist companion in the sect. This suitable choice is naturally conducive to consolidating the Ding family's position in the Chonghua sect in the future.

"Senior brother, it's settled, my little sister will come to Bailu Cave to visit in the next few days..." Ding Xizhen blinked: "I didn't know that senior brother will go to Bianjing Taoist Association this time..."

However, Fang Baoqi has an indifferent personality and does not want to make progress. It seems that it is difficult for him to achieve much in his practice. He was forced to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining by Chen Huai.

Everyone knows that just listening to such words is enough, but Ding Xizhen is still very happy, which shows that this senior brother still recognizes his qualifications and talents.

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that this girl was very thoughtful and didn't care: "Yes, even if we are about to leave in the next few days, my junior sister will also go?"

Facing this little junior sister's lament, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but answer: "Brother Yu has had some opportunities in the past two years, such as fighting against the Yuelu Sect, and he also gained some insights during the practice, so he entered the country a little faster, but With Junior Sister’s qualifications and Master’s teachings, Brother Yu believes that Junior Sister will be able to catch up in a few years.”

This girl seems to have practiced spiritual seals? Those who practice this way are usually based on a strong mind, which means they are good at spells and talismans.

After Chen Huaisheng left, Ding Xizhen's smile still looked back in his heart, which surprised him.

I have built a foundation, and I ask myself that not everyone can leave a deep impression on me, but this girl can do it, it is extraordinary.

The spiritual seal of his practice was not given by his master. Either it was passed down from his family, or there was another way.

There are many such situations in practicing sects, and there is no taboo against studying in another way.

As long as it can help improve one's spiritual realm and magic skills, and is not against the laws of heaven or harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth, all are welcome.

Of course, this situation is not common in itself. Even if your own sect's exercises are enough for you to practice, not to mention those who are greedy for more than they can chew and those who practice haphazardly, they are basically not qualified enough to go far.

When he arrived at Wu Tianen's Taoist temple, Wu Tianen's mood was really complicated.

He was even proud of his success in the second level of foundation building the year before last.

However, after seeing that after Lingyun Sect merged, the sect suddenly added many foundations, and many of them were in the middle and high stages of foundations, my second level of foundation suddenly seemed a bit bleak.

He also thought that maybe after a new year, he should retreat for another two years to practice, and strive to reach the third level of foundation building earlier. He even made an appointment with Gou Yiwei to retreat together.

He had originally thought that Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng and the others would catch up soon, and he was mentally prepared for this, but he really didn't expect that Chen Huaisheng would establish his foundation so quickly.

He knew that Chen Huaisheng could build a foundation and would not even be slow, but he thought it would take a year or two no matter what.

No, one or two years is a bit exaggerated. After all, this guy has only reached his peak for a few months. From the ninth level of Qi refining to foundation building in three years, he should have performed very amazingly, but now...

Glancing at Wu Tianen's expression, Chen Huaisheng felt complicated inside.

He knew how much this situation would affect the other person's state of mind, but he was helpless.

This kind of situation cannot be covered up, but it is easy to make people unhappy, especially Wu Tianen. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mountain of kindness to him, so it is better to come out openly.

"Hey, Huaisheng, you said you just built the foundation. It was so light, delicate and casual. I don't know what to say. In my heart..."

Wu Tianen adjusted quickly, but no matter how he adjusted, the bitterness in his heart could not go away.

He also knew that he should be happy for Chen Huaisheng, and he should also be happy. After all, Chen Huaisheng was brought in by himself. If he hadn't taken it in with his own efforts, Chen Huaisheng might never have had such a good fortune, and the Chonghua Sect would also have to There is no such disciple who can definitely be called a unique genius.

But compared to himself, he really felt that he shouldn't be happy.

I am almost ninety and have only reached the second level of Qi refining. Maybe in three to five years, or even two to three years, this guy will catch up with me?

What a monster he brought back.

"Uncle, without your support, it would be impossible for me to get to where I am today." Chen Huaisheng said sincerely, "Uncle, I will always remember my kindness."

Wu Tianen took a long breath and finally felt relieved: "This is still your own ability and destiny. However, Huai Sheng, I'm afraid that you will now become the target of many people in our sect, those who are unconvinced, envious, jealous, and suspicious. Of course, they are questioning it, and they even think that you are showing off like this to deliberately suppress them..."

"You are trying to suppress them by being in the limelight?" Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Who is this boring? If you have the ability, why don't they also suppress me by being in the limelight?"

"Since you have just come from the head brother, you should understand who I am talking about." Wu Tianen sighed, "The sect's strength has indeed increased greatly, but it has also brought some hidden dangers, and everyone seems to not be that united. Now that we are united, there are many things going on in this place, and there are many people saying all kinds of weird things. Even the head brother is trying to figure out these things and strive for balance. If this goes on, if you put too much thought on these things, I am afraid it will affect everyone. Practicing.”

How could Chen Huaisheng not know the problem here?

This is an inevitable side effect of the sect's rapid expansion, especially if it expands and grows in such a way.

To solve these problems, we can only continue to develop and grow through endogenous development and growth, rather than relying on external mergers and acquisitions.

Shang Jiuling has realized this, so he wants to push himself out and use his own examples to prove and influence the new disciples who have come from Hebei, Yiyang and Langling in recent years, and promote the development of the entire sect.

cohesion.

From this point of view, the leader Shang Jiuling is still qualified.

"Uncle, the head master has also discovered this, so he wants to use this Bianjing Shangyuan Taoist meeting to temper and integrate our sect and form a consensus of working together with the same hatred and the same enemy. Even the disciples are forced to

After being dragged in by him, I have to participate in this Taoist meeting." Chen Huaisheng said with a helpless smile: "This disciple didn't want to participate in the first place."
