Chen Huaisheng also knew very well that the threat of alien cultivators was still far away for him personally, but its impact on the entire Zhao family would be huge and far-reaching, and sooner or later it would also affect him.

It's just that I don't have the ability to intervene or change anything yet. What I can do is to improve my spiritual strength as soon as possible within my ability.

At this time, he desperately wanted to return to Hebei as early as possible, return to the cave in Yunzhong Mountain as early as possible, and practice in peace and quiet.

Once you step into the foundation building, it seems to be radiant, but only when you are inside it, the higher you stand and the wider the levels of contact you have, then you will realize how insignificant you are.

Just like the confrontation between Xiong Jingyi cultivator and Bao Guowei just now, it is simply not something that ordinary foundation builders can interfere with.

Once a duel breaks out between the two, those around them, whether they are refining Qi or building foundations, will only encounter disasters, and may not even have a chance to escape.

Chen Huaisheng also knew that from the perspective of Shang Jiuling, Zhu Fengbi, Ding Zongshou, and Linghu Zui, the issues they considered were different.

No matter what disagreements they may have in the future, the Chonghua Sect, which has just been integrated now, is standing tall in the Da Zhao cultivation world, and still wants to show everyone a new and powerful look.

In particular, Shang, Zhu and Qi Hongkui were still looking forward to returning to Yijun one day, driving away the Zijin Sect and Baishimen, and retaking Yiyang and Langling.

This is the long-cherished wish of all Lao Chonghua and Lingyun disciples, and it is also the motivation that inspires their efforts.

To achieve this step, one must face two powerful enemies, the Baishi Sect and the Zijin Sect. At least for now, no matter which one of the two, the Chonghua Sect can match.

Shang Jiuling was very aware of the hidden dangers brought about by including disciples of the Yuhan Sect and even the Yuanhe Sect.

Unlike the Lingyun Sect and the Ding Family, the entry of these disciples from the Jiulian Sect will greatly impact the inherent structure of the entire Chonghua Sect, and the Chonghua Sect will be in a state of chaos for a long time.

He was not even sure whether he and Zhu Fengbi could control this situation.

Accepting Ding Xizhen as a disciple is actually a disguised alliance prepared for a rainy day.

He needs Ding Zongshou's support to balance and suppress the internal affairs, at least before Li Yu enters Dengzi Mansion, this must be the case.

Fortunately, Qi Hongkui's spiritual state declined after he suffered a serious injury, otherwise this unbalanced situation would be even more dangerous.

Now that Linghu Zui has joined with about a hundred disciples, dozens of disciples from the Yuanhe Sect, and the huge Chongyang Mountain, this situation has been even more impacted.

He also knew that the Chonghua Sect, which had just absorbed the Ding family and annexed the Lingyun Sect, was not suitable for annexing the Yuhan Sect. It would be too risky and would cause too many consequences, but he had no choice.

Because such an opportunity was lost, not only was a Zifu lost, but also several talents who might enter the Zifu in the next ten or twenty years, and a bridgehead to re-enter the Zhao Dynasty - Chongyang Mountain.

The fate of a cultivation sect is the same as that of a monk. It is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The fate of the Nine Lotus Sect is a typical example.

A majestic super sect, but a decade or two of decline and deterioration has given opportunities to the surrounding tigers and wolves. If you find the right moment, it will be a fatal blow, and you will be devoured without even giving you the slightest chance to turn around.

What a tragic ending.

Isn’t this the case for the Chonghua sect?

It was just a little conservative, that is, only for ten or twenty years, but the Baishimen came to bully me, and forcibly lost the territory that had been operated for hundreds of years and the precious land of Lingshan, and drove me to the wilderness of Hebei to survive miserably.

Fortunately, Da Zhao and the Beirong people happened to have signed such a "trusteeship" agreement, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to stay.

Now that there was an opportunity to shorten the time for the Chonghua Sect to rise and grow, he was willing to take it even if there were many risks.

As long as Li Yu can enter the Zifu, nothing will be a problem. The three Zifus of Lao Chonghua and Ding Zongshou, who prefers his own family, are enough to suppress Qi Hongkui and Linghu Zui.

At least in the past three to five years, Shang Jiuling was convinced that Qi Hongkui and Linghu Zui were not so unwise that they would have another heart. Within three to five years, Shang Jiuling believed that Li Yu had an 80% chance of entering Deng Zi Mansion.

The only thing that made Shang Jiuling a little worried was that so many disciples joined in, causing the entire Chonghua Sect's disciples to suddenly expand to nearly 600 people, which put a lot of pressure on the entire sect.

The most urgent and difficult thing is how to maintain the survival of the entire sect disciples.

Ordinary spiritual food and materials are pretty good. There are quite a lot of spiritual fields around Wolong Ridge, around Baita Pu, and around Chongyang Mountain. The jade, wheat, and spiritual millet grown are basically enough for the disciples. At the most, I need to buy some Jiahe to improve it.

For a moment, because Jiahe cannot be grown in Hebei and Weijun.

But disciples’ cultivation does not just rely on eating jade wheat and spiritual millet.

If disciples at the lower level of Qi refining want to improve as quickly as possible, they must eat some spiritual plants and monster meat to replenish their spiritual energy and strengthen their Dao bones. Otherwise, forced cultivation will cause damage to their muscles and bones.

When you enter the middle stage of Qi refining, you need spiritual plants and animal meat for three meals a day.

If you occasionally miss a meal or two, or don't eat for a day or two, it doesn't matter. But if you often miss a meal or miss a day, your practice will definitely be affected.

Some disciples with better natural talents and faster progress in cultivation have greater needs. In particular, some disciples with special talents need to supplement special spiritual materials and food in a targeted manner when practicing critical stages or special exercises. This is all

The sect must protect it.

Once you enter a higher stage, the cost will be even greater. Take Chen Huaisheng as an example. When he entered the foundation building stage, he needed to eat spiritual plants and animal meat every day. On the contrary, he ate less spiritual millet and jade wheat. In terms of expenses,

It's not much inferior to the Winged Fire Snake.

At this point, it is no longer possible to rely solely on the sect's subsidies. You must have other channels of your own. This is why once you build a foundation, you basically have to have your own cave mountain. The main thing is to allow the monks to do it on their own.

Open up sources of spiritual plant monsters so that we can afford them.

This is also why sect families need the blessed land of Lingshan as their mountain gate, because the demand for spiritual plants and animal meat will always run through the monks. They can be traded in the city, but they cannot be produced, whether you plant and domesticate it yourself, or hunt it.

Even if you are looting, you must always have a stable source to ensure what you need.

It can be said that those so-called geniuses, except for the basic factor of having excellent bones, are basically built up of spiritual materials and spiritual food.

Which of these expenses from the initial stage of Qi refining to foundation building is not an investment of tens of millions of spiritual stones?

This is not to mention the special various sutra techniques and magical tools that were specifically searched for for them.

In contrast, Chen Huaisheng is basically self-reliant, which is one of the reasons why the sect's big bosses care so little about Chen Huaisheng. It's really reassuring.

"So far, we haven't received anyone who wants to challenge us, but I can't tell clearly..." Shang Jiuling glanced at Linghu Zui, who had his eyelids lowered, "Brother Linghu, you are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Not worried at all."

"Brother Shang, you are the leader, so you should be the one to worry about these things. And Brother Ding, in such a chaotic situation, anything can happen, but I don't think it will target us, the alien cultivators.

The promulgation of the rules did not give countless people the opportunity to appear on stage. But it also disrupted many people's plans." Linghu Zui's half-squinted eyes slightly opened: "The chaotic battle upstairs in Fengle.

, shouldn’t it be a beginning?”

Shang Jiuling raised his eyebrows, "Brother Linghu means that all the different cultivators will appear one after another to challenge the Great Dao Ranking?"

"Haha, for the foreign cultivators, the power of incense that bathes in the palaces and temples is probably much stronger than that of us human monks, right?" Linghu Zui sneered, "I don't know about Taoist palaces, well, those ranked

What do the people in front think? If we really want to fulfill this rule, the cultivators will definitely become a huge disaster! For the sake of their own selfish interests, these people simply don’t care about the overall situation of the world."

The alien cultivators are stronger than the senses and weaker than the enlightenment. However, if they are influenced by the power of incense and aspiration, their understanding will be opened again, and their strength will increase dramatically. It is no wonder that these alien cultivators flocked out after hearing that the Taoist Palace was opened.

"Perhaps it is the Taoist palace's plan to slow down the attack and use the power of foreign cultivators..." Shang Jiuling muttered: "The Western Tang Dynasty put too much pressure on the Zhao Dynasty in the west, and coupled with Nanchu's restlessness, it seems that in recent years

The tide of monsters in the Forbidden Territory has somewhat subsided, but it is said that there will be strange signs again this year, I am afraid..."

Every time a wave of monsters appears, there will be some unusual signs in the first year, but generally speaking, it will be many years apart. However, the wave of monsters comes more and more frequently. This time, it is five years apart. The last wave of monsters is more like

The scale of this preview was far smaller than that of fifty or sixty years ago, but the signs of omens this year were even stronger, and they were reported to the officials and Taoist palaces, causing many people to feel uneasy.

The tide of monsters is a bad memory for everyone, but it seems that no one can escape the sixty-year cycle of reincarnation.

Each wave of monsters can last as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years or even ten years, with even ups and downs in between.

When the scale is weak, it seems that more monsters come out of the forbidden area and the level is higher. When it is strong, it becomes widespread and even disasters, and the damage to the world is ten times and dozens of times higher than when it is weak.

times.

For example, Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou and Linghu Zui all experienced one or even two rounds of beast tides. However, when they were young, they did not have a deep impression of that round. After all, they were too young, but when people reached middle age, they experienced that round.

All very impressed.

However, according to the elders, the wave of beasts sixty years ago was a smaller one within two to three hundred years. At that time, they were only in the early stage of foundation building or even the Qi refining stage. But even so, the huge damage and harm it caused

The impact is still impressive, but this time it will be their turn.
