Strange mountains and rivers

Xiong Chonghui was also a straightforward person. After having a very satisfactory conversation with Chen Huaisheng, he left Peach Blossom Island and returned to Canghai the next day without any delay.

Although he was a casual cultivator in Canghai, he still had a place to stay and there were also a few people around him who were considered his disciples.

According to him, he would bring those who were willing to join Dahuaishan, and those who were unwilling would just go their separate ways and continue their lives as independent cultivators, but there was a high probability that they would join the Chonghua Sect together.

The levels of several disciples were not very high, the best one was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the other two were at the middle level of Qi Refining.

Xiong Chonghui and Chen Huaisheng agreed that they would deal with the aftermath of Canghai within two months and then meet up at Taohua Island.

Chen Huaisheng still has plenty of time on Peach Blossom Island. He has to wait at least until Yu Fengqian gives birth to the child, and then stay for another one or two months before he can leave with peace of mind.

As the days passed, Yu Fengqian's belly swelled up like air, and eventually even Chen Huaisheng couldn't sit still anymore.

The twins' bellies are indeed much bigger than those of ordinary pregnant women, and look a bit scary.

Fortunately, this tormenting day did not last too long. On the fifth day of September, Yu Fengqian gave birth to a daughter and a son, a dragon and a phoenix, and everyone was happy.

Looking at Yu Fengqian's tired and slightly pale face, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but kiss Yu Fengqian's face, "Fengqian, you've worked hard."

If a woman can give birth to a child for you, especially a female monk who is in the promotion stage, it is enough to show her love for you. Chen Huaisheng's heart is also full of sweetness and love for this.

Yu Fengqian may not be able to practice peacefully in the next year. He will have to wait until his child is completely weaned before he can devote himself to practice again.

"Huaisheng, these are our children. It is only natural for me to give birth to them and raise them..." Yu Fengqian's face was filled with a maternal glow, full of happiness and sweetness. "I don't want to think about anything else now. I have to practice and make progress, but I've put all of that aside. I'm just thinking about how to take good care of them this year. The only thing that worries me..."

Chen Huaisheng understood Yu Fengqian's worries, laughed, and held Yu Fengqian's hands: "Don't worry, with our qualifications and endowments, they must be gifted, there will be no problem, not to mention, even if their roots are really inferior, I will find a way..."

Yu Fengqian's eyes lit up and he held Chen Huaisheng's hand tightly: "Really?"

"Of course, it's nothing more than changing one's roots and bones. It's a little difficult, but I'm a father after all. I have to try my best for them."

Chen Huaisheng's face was full of love and confidence, which made Yu Fengqian's heart even hotter. She wished she could understand and throw herself into her lover's arms to show his love and tenderness.

Feeling Yu Fengqian's surging emotions, Chen Huaisheng knew that a breastfeeding woman should not be overly happy or sad, so he quickly comforted her, "Fengqian, it's too early to say this now. I still think our child doesn't need us to worry about it. You should just relax and have a good rest, take good care of our child, and enjoy this family happiness."

Tong Tong and his friends took both children out, leaving only Yu Fengqian and Chen Huaisheng in the room.

"Are the children asleep?" Yu Fengqian had just finished feeding the two children and it had only been less than a cup of tea, but he was already a little worried.

"Well, she's asleep. Don't worry, Tong Tong and your best friend are watching over her." Chen Huaisheng stroked Yu Fengqian's cheek. "They're both strong and their faces have grown. The daughter looks like me, and the son looks like you."

"Lu." Chen Huaisheng said softly, "He is also the direct descendant of the Lu family. However, the Lu family is large and powerful, with dozens of branches. There are many disputes within the family. It is not a new thing for the illegitimate branches to fight for the throne. The capable one will be the king. However, this person is a posthumous child. No one understood him at the time. Later, his talent was revealed, but the illegitimate branches were strong. The Lu family could not overturn the decision made decades ago because of you alone. Therefore, the resistance was futile and became a disaster for the family. So they had no choice but to flee."

With just a few simple sentences, Chen Huaisheng outlined the grievances and love and hatred of a noble family, and Yu Fengqian also sighed with emotion after hearing it.

It is difficult to say who is right or wrong. From the family's perspective, ensuring that the family's strength is not affected is the most important thing. But from a personal perspective, it is even more difficult to accept that the legitimate branch of the family has been taken away and that one has to flee into exile.

"So are you going to accept it?" Yu Fengqian knew that Chen Huaisheng would not care about the relationships with the aristocratic families within Wu Yue. Everything depended on whether it was beneficial to Dahuaishan.

"Let's talk about it when we meet. If you are too obsessed with revenge and return, that's not what I want. If you can adjust your mindset, who can tell what will happen in the future?" Chen Huaisheng said leisurely.

Now that Xiong Chonghui has been confirmed, there is no longer any urgency for Chen Huaisheng. However, if a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator can join, it will undoubtedly be a beneficial addition to Dahuaishan. If an example of going from the ninth-level foundation-building to entering the Purple Mansion can be created within two or three years, it will greatly boost the confidence of the entire sect.

Because the son of the Lu family could not come to Peach Blossom Island in a short time, Chen Huaisheng did not plan to wait any longer. He needed to go to Liao County, Yiyang Prefecture, Yi County first. It was time for Ou Wan'er to go there as well. After all, it was also a fulcrum. After arriving in Liao County, he would return to the East China Sea and finally return to Dahuai Mountain.

This is somewhat in conflict with Xiong Chonghui's return to Canghai. It is possible that when Xiong Chonghui returned to Taohua Island from Canghai to the south, Chen Huaisheng might not have returned from Liao County yet. However, he also greeted Xiong Chonghui in advance and asked him to wait for him on Taohua Island, which was not a problem.

After explaining things to Tong Tong and the others, Chen Huaisheng traveled west to Yi County alone.

After advancing to the middle stage of Soul Condensation, Chen Huaisheng could clearly feel the changes in his own soul, which was even more obvious than when he advanced from the high stage of Marrow Condensation to the initial stage of Soul Condensation.

This also surprised him a little.

Logically speaking, the change from the Marrow Accumulation Realm to the Soul Condensation Realm should be greater, but on the contrary, although changes can be felt from the Marrow Accumulation Realm to the Soul Condensation Realm, they are not obvious. However, from the Initial Soul Condensation Realm to the Intermediate Soul Condensation Realm, both the changes in the spiritual realm and the improvement in spell combat power, especially in the thunder method, are more prominent.

Chen Huaisheng estimated that this might be related to his practice of combining cultivation with the spirits in the cauldron.

The souls of the ape, tiger and thunder boar were intertwined. The initial changes were not obvious, but as he used the cauldron to activate the Zi Yang internal refining technique and began to refine the souls of the spirits one by one, the changes began to appear.

The first thing that appeared was the refining of the ape spirit. The Ape Divine Transformation had made a breakthrough. This was the preservation of the characteristics of the Water Ape Great Sage, which was purified by the cauldron and infused into his own spiritual essence, forming a special magic mirror image. The water and wood magic characteristics could burst out through the mirror image when it was activated. Chen Huaisheng had already experienced this when he killed Niu Dali last time.

The reason why Chen Huaisheng did not take action when dealing with the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Insect was because he did not know the details of the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Insect at that time. Once the Ape God Transformation was activated, the water and wood magic powers released would be backfired by the opponent's fire magic power. If he could not withstand the backlash, it might cause too much damage to himself, and he might even die on the spot.

With a way out, Chen Huaisheng would rather use the safer thunder method, especially since he had just cultivated the fourth level of thunder method - Jiu Ming Sao Yun Mie. He was also full of confidence and was sure that he could kill the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Insect. Although the result was a bit thrilling, it was still in line with his idea.

Chen Huaisheng is now considering that he needs to make some adjustments to his practice methods and direction.

The improvement of the spiritual realm is certainly important, but the shaping of the cauldron within one's own body and the thorough refining of the primordial souls of the spirits within the cauldron should be placed in a more important position, because the changes brought about by the internal refining of the primordial soul may in turn enhance one's ability to practice in the spiritual realm. This can be felt from the unexpectedly smooth progress from the initial stage of soul condensation to the intermediate stage of soul condensation, which is faster than one can imagine.

In other words, now he no longer needs to pursue the improvement of his spiritual realm too deliberately, but should focus on refining the spiritual souls in the cauldron, and then use their spiritual essence to reshape the cauldron after refining, because Chen Huaisheng feels that this cauldron in his body may be the decisive factor when he truly embarks on the path of the Golden Elixir in the future.

After figuring this out, Chen Huaisheng had a clearer path to his goal and greater ambitions in his mind.

Chen Huaisheng's strength at the middle level of Soul Condensation meant that he no longer felt tired while running all the way. Even if he ran for three consecutive days and three nights, the consumption of riding the wind no longer required special breathing and rest to buffer.

Ten days later, Chen Huaisheng had entered the territory of Yiyang Prefecture and entered Liao County from Li County.

When Chen Huaisheng saw the row of wooden houses built outside Yefenggou, he knew that Ou Wan'er had already started building the branch of Dahuaishan according to her own intentions.

Looking at the spiritual fields that have been reclaimed outside Yefenggou, this is undoubtedly the result of the hard work of Ou Wan'er, Song Yan and Chen Guisheng in the past year.

Yefeng Valley is not suitable for low-level disciples like Chen Guisheng and Song Yan to survive for the time being, but all this will change after he buries the Diyang Fire Rock in a suitable location in Yefeng Valley.

The strong yin energy in Yefenggou was transformed by the fire yang energy released by the Diyang Fire Rock, while the spiritual energy was preserved. As a result, although Yefenggou cannot be compared with Wolong Ridge or Dahuai Mountain, it is also satisfactory, at least the conditions are similar to Yuelun Mountain.
