Strange mountains and rivers

Wu Tianen was indeed a little excited.

Chen Huaisheng was able to break through the ninth level of Qi refining in such a short period of time and reach the peak of Qi refining in one fell swoop. This was of course a great joy, but it also relieved some of the inner anxiety of the old Chonghua sect members, including Wu Tianen.

Cao Renben's attack on the foundation failed, and he even degraded from the peak level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining, and the jade pill shrank. This hit Cao Renben himself, and also affected several people including Shang, Zhu, You, Ma, and Wu. Very disappointed.

Liu Chun's attempt to attack the ninth level of Qi Refining has not made any progress. He has been in seclusion for a year, but there has been no movement so far. He himself also hopes to go out and travel, trying to find inspiration.

Zhao Sitian is still in seclusion, but it is said that he has advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, he hopes to obtain the jade pill and enter the peak state in one step, so he has not left seclusion.

A few people who were expected to attack the foundation seemed to still lack some firepower, which made Shang Zhu and others feel uncomfortable.

In contrast, Ding Liren has successfully reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he has not yet been able to grasp the jade pill and reach the peak.

In addition, three disciples from the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining who were merged into Lingyun Sect have successively advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining and reached their peak state within the past six months. This is what makes Shang Zhu and others feel most anxious and irritated.

They are already far behind in terms of the number of people building foundations. Now if the gap in the number of backup candidates who have the strength to impact foundation building is getting wider and wider, where will their reputation go?

Now I finally heard some exciting news.

Although everyone had hopes for Chen Huaisheng before, considering that he has been promoted continuously and climbed all the way up from the fifth level of Qi Refining in a short period of time, it would be very rare if he could advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining. We didn't dare to expect him. To be able to reach the peak, especially when I haven't heard anything about Chen Huai this year, but now I am suddenly a blockbuster.

Seemingly aware of his gaffe, Wu Tianen calmed down and couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding: "Huaisheng, you still did not disappoint us after all."

"Uncle Wu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Huaisheng vaguely felt that it might be related to Lingyun Sect and the Ding family, but he didn't know the specific reason.

"Nothing, just some feelings." Wu Tianen shook his head, "Huai Sheng, I'm afraid you have also heard that the official and Taoist palaces will hold Taoist gatherings next year when they go to the Yuan Dynasty. Do you think our Chonghua sect should participate?"

"It seems that the sect has made up its mind and wants to participate?" Chen Huaisheng sighed, "Probably all the disciples in the sect still want to go, right? Do you want to broaden your horizons and see the world for a short time?"

Hearing a trace of reluctance in Chen Huaisheng's words, Wu Tianen was surprised: "Huaisheng, you don't seem to be happy?"

"Well, from a personal perspective, I don't want to go." Chen Huaisheng expressed his attitude calmly: "Of course, the sect has sect considerations, and our sect has a large number of talents this year, and the disciple feels that he can have a good rest at the mountain sect. , or follow him to Bianjing but not participate in the competition."

Wu Tianen thought for a moment and said, "Huai Sheng, I'm afraid I can't be the master yet. We still have to see what the head brother and the others want."

After coming out of Wu Tianen's place, Chen Huaisheng walked along the road house to the entrance of the valley.

Although it had only been a year since he came out, Chen Huaisheng found that there had been a lot of changes outside the mountain gate. What was visible to the naked eye was that the number of mortals had increased significantly.

Stretching along the entrance of the valley to the outside of the mountain, there are at least a few hundred steps of shops and markets, with various teahouses, restaurants and vendors lined up in rows. There are at least one or two thousand people living in this area.

As the number of disciples in the mountain sect continues to increase, such a huge demand market will naturally form around the daily consumption of these disciples.

Taoist species, mortals, sect disciples, and even some casual cultivators from outside can all see it.

After observing for a while at the entrance of the valley, Chen Huaisheng set his sights on a spiritual materials shop that seemed to have just opened.

Chen Huaisheng was a little curious.

Business in Hebei is not prosperous, but the Chonghua Sect is a large sect based here. In addition to its disciples, there are about 500 people. In addition to the various Taoist mortals recruited and attached, it has already exceeded the thousand-person mark.

For example, Chen Huaisheng's own cave has dozens of people. Although they are basically self-sufficient, they still have to come here every ten and a half days.

Chen Huaisheng and Min Qingyu had already made an agreement with these Taoists.

In addition to the jade, wheat and millet grown in Lingtian, the remaining surplus harvest will be given to these Taoist seeds in proportion, which also greatly stimulates the enthusiasm for planting these Taoist seeds.

Chen Huaisheng also provided some incentives for taming monsters and planting spiritual grass.

He knew very well that simple slavery would not be effective. It would be better to adopt this model beyond the shareholding system, which would increase everyone's enthusiasm.

These Taoists can also bring their income here to trade and sell, and at the same time purchase the things they need.

After a cursory look, Chen Huaisheng found that the street outside Yukou had gradually become a popular place. There were at least a dozen of these spiritual material shops.

Except for the largest store established here by Kuixing Pavilion, the others were probably established by traders from Fuyang, Yanzhou and other places with some knowledge.

Chen Huaisheng walked into this shop, which was estimated to have been open for less than a month.

The Fangdian store is not big, and judging from the categories written on the sign, it should also sell specialties from Sijun.

"Winter silk jujube is a naturally woody spiritual fruit. It nourishes qi and nourishes the spirit. It is of great benefit to monks with woody spiritual roots and neutral spiritual roots. Long-term consumption has the effect of improving both Taoist bones and spiritual roots."

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's eyes fall on the red and green fruits with silky patterns specially placed in the crystal cover, the shopkeeper had already come out and introduced them with a smile.

"Oh? It's rare." Chen Huaisheng nodded, "What about this one?"

"Haha, Master Immortal has good eyesight. This is Luoyi White Horse Sweet Pomegranates, which are expensive." The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, and it seemed that he had met a big buyer who was willing to spend money. "You should know that Luoyi White Horse Temple, That is where Luoyi's aura shines. There are only thirty-six pomegranate trees in the White Horse Temple. Each pomegranate tree produces thirty to fifty pomegranates every year. There are only two pomegranates left in the shop now. Last year's pomegranate trees produced Produce,……"

"Oh?" Chen Huaisheng was surprised, "Is it that white horse sweet pomegranate?"

The shopkeeper nodded sharply: "Taoist, have you heard about the reputation of White Horse Sweet Pomelo? To be honest, Taoist, the owner of our shop has some connections with Luoyi Dacheng Sect, so we can get a sweet pear plant every year, because our shop just closed the business We have achieved Fuyang Dao, so we have specially approved five pieces. Three have been sold, and only two are left."

"I've heard of the reputation of this white horse pomegranate. One pomegranate can be exchanged for ten red bulls, but what are its benefits?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.

"There are too many benefits, but the most intuitive one is that it can nourish spiritual roots and increase spirituality. I don't need to say more." The shopkeeper smiled softly.

A single sentence of "nourishing spiritual roots and increasing spirituality" is enough to make people's hearts beat. As long as they are practitioners, no one will need it.

But three types of people are the most urgent.

One is for those who have not yet entered the Tao after awakening their spiritual roots, the second is for those who are at the peak of Qi refining and need to attack the foundation, and the third are for those who are at the peak of foundation building and want to overcome the tribulation and enter the Dengzi Mansion.

Adding spirituality is actually stimulating one's understanding. Enlightenment and entry into the Tao are just a flash of insight. This touch of spirituality is needed to gain enlightenment and enter the Tao, ascend to the foundation, and even enter the Purple Mansion.

It’s hard to say whether the claim that sweet pomegranates can increase spirituality has been confirmed, but based on this rumor alone, it’s worth buying.

It seemed that someone came in again. Chen Huaisheng didn't care and asked directly: "How much does this cost?"

After looking Chen Huaisheng up and down, the shopkeeper nodded: "This is my first time in Wolong Ridge. I also want to make a good relationship. I hope I can take care of you more in the future. If you sincerely want to buy it, just take two thousand spirit stones." ,..."

Although he had expected that this kind of thing would not be cheap, Chen Huaisheng was still shocked when he heard that the other party's price was two thousand spirit stones.

"So expensive?" Chen Huaisheng just had time to say something when he heard someone behind him say: "Shopkeeper, how many more do you have here? I want them all!"
