Seeing the monks and the spirit boat from the Longevity Sect appearing in front of him, Chen Dengming was happy at first, and then became confused.
Because if you look closely, you will see a faint film of light emerging from between the two peaks of the turtle and the snake, appearing and disappearing like a barrier, blocking the way forward.
Some of the corners are even guarded by monks from the longevity sect.
"What's this for?"
Chen Dengming felt a thump in his heart. He lowered his escape light and saw that there were many monks gathered at the intersection outside the light film. He seemed to check each one before letting them in.
He hesitated for a while, but did not move over immediately.
Instead, he first used his kung fu to carefully restrain the evil spirit of blood in his body, and then used his bone-shrinking kung fu to slightly change his appearance. He no longer wore the human skin mask, and quickly put away the Wu Ling Duo at the back of his waist.
Coming from the border to the edge of the hinterland of the Eastern Territory, we can no longer pretend to be someone who is not to be trifled with.
There are many monks and disciples here. You, a casual cultivator, look like you are not easy to mess with. Who are you trying to scare?
When people see a casual cultivator being so arrogant, they will come to mess with you. This is also what will happen, but you can't ask for trouble.
Chen Dengming decided to go back to being Xiao Chen. If he wanted to be famous in front of others, he would have to suffer the consequences.
Keep a low profile for the time being, and later become a foundation builder and a large disciple, and then become prominent.
After he made sure that nothing was missing, he leaned towards the crowd and listened to some people's comments.
"It is said that they are investigating their origins, and then they have to hand over a low-grade spiritual stone in order to get an identity guide. Otherwise, they are not allowed to enter."
"Huh? No way. The Changshou Sect has always been independent of the world, has a good reputation, and is rich and powerful. How could it suddenly add insult to injury this time, blocking roads and setting up roadblocks for interrogation and charging fees?"
"Hey - you guys are really short-sighted. It's just a low-grade spiritual stone. The identity of the longevity sect is a guide. In the past, let alone a low-grade spiritual stone, it was hard to buy even five.
With this thing, even if you are a casual cultivator and enter the realm of the longevity sect, you will not be ostracized everywhere, and you will be recognized by the longevity sect. "
"That's true, but why did the Changshou Sect make such a big fuss? No matter how fiercely the Mingyue Sect and Wangyue Sect fight, how dare they break into the territory of the Changshou Sect? The Yingyue Sect above these two sects is dying. .
There was a fight between the Huangfeng Sect and the Black Sand Sect, and the longevity sect was completely wiped out."
"I don't know, but I'm afraid the situation is not that simple. Moreover, the supreme ancestor of Yingyue Sect is just missing, not dead. Maybe something will happen."
When Chen Dengming heard this, his heart moved. He huddled his hands in his sleeves and leaned over with a harmless look, saying with a smile, "Hey, fellow Taoist, why did the Supreme Patriarch of the Yingyue Sect disappear?"
The speaker frowned, glanced at Chen Dengming, and said coldly, "Don't ask about this kind of high-level affairs of the Immortal Sect."
The man stopped before he finished speaking, and looked at the low-grade spiritual stone that Chen Deng had handed over in surprise.
"This Taoist brother will help you pay for the toll later."
Chen Dengming smiled modestly and said, "I didn't say treat me, I just said I went above and beyond."
The monk who spoke smiled, looked around at the other monks who wanted to eavesdrop, hummed, and winked at Chen Dengming.
"I'll just tell you one person."
Then the message came.
"It is said that the great Yuanying master of Yingyue Sect seemed to have offended some powerful person back then. Several other sects also offended that big shot. There was even a great Nascent Soul master from the Miaoyin Sect who died.
This incident caused a big earthquake back then, but after all, it has been hundreds of years. I don’t know what it was exactly. I still learned the news from a senior.
Fellow Taoist, tell me, is it possible that the Yuanying Master of the Yingyue Sect has died, and the strong man who caused the tragic death of the Yuanying Master of the Miaoyin Sect appeared, and the longevity sect put up such a big battle?"
"this"
"Don't say it, don't say it. These are just some conjectures of mine. They can't be taken as true. Fellow Taoist, let's be clear~"
Chen Dengming nodded slightly. At this time, the queue in front had also been picked up. He approached and thought in his heart.
"Is it really related to the evil star that came out of Nanxun like me? It seems that this can only be explained, but how does this have anything to do with the Mingyue Sect and the Wangyue Sect?"
I can't figure it out, but Chen Dengming is too lazy to figure it out.
A strong person with this level of strength is completely beyond the scope of understanding.
Too much worry is unfounded.
Just like in the previous life, I was always worried that a fight between two big countries would affect my own security, but the worries of ordinary people are of no use. They are just adding to worries. The will of the strong will not be transferred to the weak.
Only I can quickly become a strong person before the turmoil comes.
Soon, it was Chen Dengming's turn to queue.
One of the interrogating monks asked, "Where did it come from? What's its name? What kind of strength, to be honest!"
"In reply to Brother Dao, I am from Juelin City. My name is Gao Hu. I am now at the tenth level of Qi training."
Chen Dengming responded honestly. He didn't dare to hide anything except his name. If he concealed it, it would be troublesome if he was found out on the spot.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone behind him changed slightly. They looked at Chen Dengming's burly back in astonishment, and all kinds of thoughts were murmuring in their hearts.
A casual cultivator with the tenth level of Qi training?
The interrogating monk was also stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Dengming's white hair on his temples, and said, "Are you very old?"
Chen Dengming nodded with a smile, then shook his head, "It looks a bit older, but it's not much in reality. I used some secret techniques in my practice and lost some of my lifespan."
When the monk heard this, his eyes flashed with disdain and surprise. The longevity sect monks naturally disdain to improve their strength by such evil means as shortening their life span. He said, "Look at you, you don't look like the local monks from Juelin City?"
"Oh, it's not true. I'm originally from the border area, a monk in a corner near Mingyuefang."
"Speak a few words in dialect and listen."
Chen Dengming was a little dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he responded quickly. He had lived in Mingyuefang for a long time. Zhu Xun often communicated with him in dialect and immediately imitated Zhu Xun's oral speech.
"We are allied with Yue Fang! It's not peaceful at all. Ke Lu should avoid this."
The interrogating monk smiled and said, "He is really a fellow countryman!"
Chen Dengming was confused for a moment. Wouldn't this monk continue to communicate with him in the Mingyuefang dialect? He only knew three words.
At this time, another monk frowned and interrupted, "Okay, okay, if there's no problem, just leave."
The monk who claimed to be a fellow villager gave Chen Dengming a friendly smile, took away Chen Dengming's spirit stone, handed him a guide with the message already entered, and let Chen Dengming leave.
Chen Dengming walked far away. After passing the second round of inspection with a road guide, he followed the flow of people and walked through the mountain path of Turtle Snake Peak. He felt a lot more relaxed.
Looking back, I saw that there were more monks still lining up behind me.
In the sky, the longevity sect's spirit boat floated.
Many disciples paraded in standard robes, looking majestic.
On the spirit boat, some figures could still be vaguely seen sitting, presumably they were foundation-building monks.
Chen Dengming was secretly determined to join the sect and become a foundation-building monk.
If nothing else, just look at the current scene. With the same level of cultivation and different identities, the situation is completely different.
As a casual cultivator, you are like a weed, whichever way the wind blows, it will fall. You act based on people's faces.
The disciples of the sect are also just practicing qi, and their cultivation level is not higher than him, but they can look down from above and decide whether to stay or go as a casual cultivator.
He gathered his thoughts and looked at the jade-like road guide in his hand. There were dragon and turtle symbols of the longevity sect on both sides.
Input a trace of spiritual energy, the road guide lights up instantly, and the message inside appears.
"Name: Gao Hu
Origin: A monk near Mingyuefang on the border of the Eastern Region
Realm of Strength: Tenth Level of Qi Training
Confirmed: Confirmed. "
"It seems like it's just a simple check and record of origin."
Chen Dengming thought in his mind, glanced at the longevity sect disciples patrolling at the intersection not far away, and immediately approached them to get close.
After a cup of tea.
The monk from the longevity sect, who had a slumped face, smiled and narrowed his eyes.
He pinched the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand, coughed dryly, and looked Chen Dengming up and down.
"Brother Gao Dao, with your strength at the tenth level of Qi training, you want to join the Changchun sect? Isn't this wronging you?"
Chen Dengming heard a hint of ridicule in his words, and said with a smile and clasped his fists, "No aggrievement, in fact Gao has always dreamed of joining the longevity sect, but after all, he is a little older now, and he does not dare to waste a year trying.
If you can join the Changchun Sect and gradually practice to build the foundation in the future, you should be able to join the Noble Sect again, right? "
"Hahaha, foundation building? Brother Gao Dao is really good. I dare to think. If you really become a foundation building, of course you can join my longevity sect. By then, I, Xiao Liu, will have to call you uncle. .”
The monk surnamed Liu had a slightly sarcastic tone and his words were strange.
Chen Dengming met many such hermaphrodites in his early years, and his expression did not change at all.
When I heard that the other party said that I could join the Longevity Sect after establishing a foundation in the Changchun Sect, I felt happy and continued to ask the other party for a lot of information humbly.
The cost of producing a medium-grade spiritual stone has been paid out, so even with such strange words of extortion, one has to ask for information.
Fortunately, even though Liu Tao is a hermaphrodite, he still does things when he gets the benefits.
After some questioning, Chen Dengming finally understood the conditions and tests required to join the Changchun Sect, but his mood became heavy.
"The Changchun Sect recruits casual cultivators. Those under the age of 25 who need low-grade spiritual roots can reach the fifth level of Qi training. Those with medium-grade spiritual roots can join directly if they are under forty years old."
"Then my current bone age is less than fifty years old, but my strength has reached the tenth level of Qi training. What should I say?"
After Chen Dengming expressed his doubts, Liu Tao expressed that he was helpless.
Because situations like Chen Dengming's are rare.
In other words, it has not appeared in the past hundred years.
Naturally, there are no specific requirements in this regard.
The specifics need to be determined on-site at Xianmen on the day when the Changchun sect recruits people.
In addition to age and qualification requirements, the Changchun Sect will also test the disciples' character, conduct and other aspects.
As for longevity sect recruiting people, the requirements are even more stringent.
Loose cultivators are also accepted, but only those under the age of fifteen and above the middle-grade spiritual roots are accepted.
Those who are older, no matter what their strength, are not allowed.
Of course, if there are foundation-building monks among the casual cultivators who are willing to join, the longevity sect will also welcome them, but they will only hire them as external deacons instead of taking them as disciples, and they will not be able to learn the fundamental method.
The law is not taught lightly.
It's not that there are people with middle-grade spiritual roots under the age of fifteen who suddenly appear among casual cultivators. They are basically the descendants of some of the casual cultivators themselves, or people with spiritual roots who suddenly appear in some remote corners.
These people travel across mountains and rivers to join the longevity sect, they are young, their loyalty can be cultivated, they are cinnabar moles.
If a foundation-building cultivator emerges from among the casual cultivators, then he is pure mosquito blood. He is definitely an old man who has made a fortune in many cultivating families. How is it possible to recruit such an old man as a disciple to teach the fundamental method?
Chen Dengming inquired about all the circumstances and wanted to get back the information fee for a medium-grade spiritual stone from the hands of the Yin-Yang people.
He knew that the other party was only at the seventh level of Qi training, so he had no sense of superiority.
Yes, it lies in his status as a formal disciple of the longevity sect.
In his previous life, Liu Tao was a serious civil servant with an iron job.
As for Chen Dengming, he is a social beast who thinks he has social experience and ability, but is too old. He wants to pass the exam, but is limited by his age and is not qualified to take the exam.
Fortunately, maybe the Changchun faction can still open up an opening.
Just because there is no precedent does not mean that one cannot be set. It depends on human effort.
Five days later.
The boundary of Changchun faction is in a residential area in Changlefang.
Chen Dengming, who had just arrived in Changlefang, kindly brought some things and visited his neighbors.
When I visited a monk named Li next door, I quietly added a beautiful and lovely hairpin to the gift.
"Hehehe, fellow Taoist Gao, there is no need to be so polite."
"That's right. Gao came to your place for the first time and is not familiar with the place. From now on, everyone will be neighbors. The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"
Chen Dengming said politely.
The neighbor, monk surnamed Li, received the gift and said politely with a smile. After a brief exchange of greetings, the two went back to their houses.
"Dad, this guy with the surname Gao is quite sensible. He probably knows my uncle's identity."
In the room of the monk surnamed Li, a teenage girl curled her lips and said.
Li Rong frowned and shook his head, "Girl, don't talk nonsense. This Taoist Taoist has given away to all the neighbors. He is very generous. I think he is not bad."
The little girl hummed, opened the gift bag, and saw the magic weapon hairpin in the bag at a glance, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow - what a beautiful hairpin, it's mine."
"Um?"
Li Rong was surprised and glanced at the other gifts in the bag.
Then he looked at the magic weapon and hairpin that had been taken away by the girl, and saw that it was just a low-grade magic weapon. He felt relieved and thought that this Taoist friend had a good intention, but this
Chen Dengming vaguely heard the laughter of the girl in the next room and nodded slightly.
For the time being, he has finally settled in Changlefang.
Even if you are a casual cultivator, as long as you have money, you can still find a relatively comfortable environment to settle down.
Changlefang belongs to the Changchun Sect and is protected by the Changchun Sect, so the environment is naturally very safe.
The only cost of renting for one month is two mid-grade spiritual stones, which is not far behind Juelin City.
With such a high rental fee, the monks who can live in Changlefang are naturally elite among casual cultivators.
Almost all of them have their own way of making a living, or have high-level Qi training capabilities. It is very necessary to have good relations with these close neighbors, because some of these people may have relatives in the Changchun Sect.
Cats have cat lanes, mice have rat lanes.
Chen Dengming has vaguely heard that Li Rong next door seems to have a cousin who is a deacon in the Changchun sect. This background is not weak.
However, if you are trying to get close, you have to let things take their own course, and you can't forcefully apply them blindly.
Chen Dengming is not in a hurry for the time being.
There are still about two to three months before the Changchun Sect recruits disciples, which is enough time for him to prepare.
After settling down, he had already planned to solve some problems with his own blood evil spirit and get the magic weapon from Yu Xiu in Changle Square.
Then buy some books about foundation building to learn more about what happens when you practice Qi to break through foundation building.
If you don’t make a breakthrough and reach the foundation building stage, you will still feel uneasy and unsure.
Because just three days ago, in the outer area of the Eastern Territory, the Ming Yue Sect and the Moon Watching Sect seemed to have officially started fighting.
Chen Dengming once heard a roar like thunder from far away.
Looking back from a distance, I saw nothing.
I only saw the longevity sect's spirit boats flying past from time to time in the air, as if the situation was tense.
This posture also made him mutter, thinking about the evil star again.
In the final analysis, the Ming Yue Sect and the Wangyue Sect are just small immortal sects.
The golden elixir monks in their respective sects are only in their early stages.
No matter how hard we fight, it is impossible to disturb the behemoth of the longevity sect.
But it's strange. He can't control this kind of thing even with a small amount of Qi training. It's impossible for him to give face to the fish guy, so you guys should stop fighting.
When it’s time to practice, you should practice with peace of mind.
Time flies, one and a half months have passed.
It's midwinter.
In a mountain forest outside Changlefang.
The evergreen cypress trees in winter and summer are covered with fluffy and heavy snow masses, which are as shiny as jade carvings.
Suddenly, bursts of roaring sounds accompanied by beasts' roars spread from the mountain forest, causing large clumps of snow to fall down.
Suddenly, the crown of a big tree exploded with countless leaves and snowflakes.
A demonic beast with shiny hair like a black panther roared out of the canopy of the tree, and spread out a pair of fleshy wings to fly away.
But at this moment, the sky darkened, and two shining iron claws merged into an iron fist and struck down hard.
Black Panther shouted angrily, and suddenly spit out a bolt of thunder and lightning from his mouth, knocking away the iron fist.
But at this moment, another transparent spider web-like magic weapon fell from the sky, and it instantly enveloped the black panther, with a flash of light and rapid shrinkage.
"Roar--"
The black panther roared wildly and struggled, holding up the spider web until it was unstable, but it only hit the ground with a bang, blasting away a large amount of snow.
"Be honest!"
Chen Dengming used the Midas touch to metalize the two hind limbs of the black panther, and then stepped closer.
The aura of the spider web flickered, and the web silk secreted venom with a paralyzing effect, making the black panther's struggle become weaker and weaker.
However, just as Chen Dengming came closer, the black panther roared angrily, suddenly struggled and bounced up, opened its bloody mouth, and bit through the mesh with its thick fangs.
Chen Dengming frowned, and the blood evil energy deep in his bone marrow suddenly stirred.
A hot power emerged from within his body, and his whole body suddenly exuded an astonishing evil aura, and the cold air around him seemed to heat up instantly.
Panic suddenly flashed in Black Panther's eyes. Before he could react, Chen Dengming suddenly swung his arm. His thick red arm was filled with blood evil energy, and his muscles instantly became knotted. He slapped Black Panther on the face.
"Bang!——"
The huge impact force directly squeezed the leopard's face and made it dent and overlap.
Two fangs shot out with blood and fell to the white ground covered with snow, which was shocking.
The Black Panther was slapped back and hit the ground hard.
The ground beneath Chen Dengming's feet shook, and the snow undulated like waves. The soil could not bear the huge impact, and two footprints collapsed.
"Ouch——"
The black panther woke up from his dizziness and stared at Chen Dengming in horror. White air came out of his nose and pitiful whimpering came from his mouth. He was deeply shocked by this terrifying human being who looked like a ferocious beast.
"My physical strength has increased a lot since I made proper use of the blood evil energy. This demonic technique seems to be a bit of a physical training?"
Chen Dengming raised his palms and looked at the muscles and bulging veins of his arms filled with blood evil energy, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
During these days, while practicing, he also purchased some helpful books in the market.
For example, "Overview of the Acquired Spiritual Body", "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building", etc.
Among them, the book "Overview of Acquired Spirit Bodies" mentions that in the world of immortal cultivation, there have been some acquired spiritual bodies who did not have heavenly spiritual roots, but whose cultivation qualifications were comparable to those with heavenly spiritual roots.
These acquired spiritual beings have excellent spiritual root qualifications, which are the qualifications of high-grade spiritual roots.
But combined with some special methods, he cultivated the acquired spiritual body, and his qualifications became even more outstanding.
And those special methods are nothing more than collecting many special spiritual things from heaven and earth, such as Tiangang and Earth, and refining them into one's own body, combining them with high-quality spiritual roots, gathering the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, lighting up the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, and cultivating the acquired spiritual body.
After the spiritual body is fully formed, images of Dharma will even appear in the hand.
Chen Dengming just read in the book that the blood evil spirit can be regarded as a branch of the seventy-two earth evil spirits. It is the worst evil spirit and it seems that it can be practiced in this way.
However, he had no method of practice.
However, this book also opened his horizons.
At least the explanation in the book made him understand that the blood evil spirit was a branch of the earth evil spirit.
How to use evil spirits simply.
Therefore, Chen Dengming tried to use some martial arts methods to strengthen the body, such as the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Kung Fu in the past, to develop a rough plan for the reasonable use of blood evil energy.
At present, it is possible to use the blood evil energy to warm and nourish the internal organs in a state of tranquility, strengthen the body, and make the body become younger and more energetic. Even the gray hair on the temples has returned to normal.
There are four ends of the human body: hair is the blood end, the tongue is the flesh end, the teeth are the bone ends, and the fingers are the tendon ends.
White hair means lack of blood and nutrition.
As soon as the evil spirit of blood is stimulated, the white hair will naturally return.
During battle, the blood evil energy can also be mobilized and act on local parts of the body, greatly enhancing strength and defense, comparable to monsters.
This made his combat effectiveness and physical strength stronger.
However, it is best to only use part of this power for the time being.
There are still some risks in completely mobilizing all the blood evil energy to fight.
For this reason, Chen Dengming also purchased a calming hoop, just in case.
"Tao, fellow Taoist, someone is coming."
At this time, the little formation spirit issued a reminder from its chest.
His spirit body flashed and quickly retracted into Chen Dengming's bulging chest muscles and entered the array in his arms.
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed, and he restrained the evil spirit of blood. The 'quiet mind hoop' he wore on his head flashed, conveying a sense of coolness and helping to dissipate the evil spirit from his body.
The black panther monster on the ground who was pretending to 'whimper' was surprised and stared at Chen Dengming suspiciously. When he saw Chen Dengming's eyes sweeping over him again, he immediately started whimpering again.
"Whoosh-"
The woods shook not far away, and two figures appeared on a branch. Seeing Chen Dengming's figure, one of them clasped his fists in surprise and laughed.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Gao. I just heard fierce fighting coming from here. I wonder who is fighting here."
The visitor's eyes suddenly focused, staring at the black panther with wings on its back on the ground, he was startled and said with emotion.
"The Black Clouded Leopard at the eighth level of qi training? I didn't expect you to capture it alive, Brother Gao Dao, hiss, it's really amazing!"
A teenage girl next to him was even more beautiful and surprised. She looked at Chen Dengming with curiosity and surprise in her eyes.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li!"
Chen Dengming looked at the visitor with a smile, then looked at the little girl again, clasping his fists, "And this little Taoist friend Li."
The little girl raised her eyebrows slightly, hummed slightly, and hid behind her father slightly, with a hint of joy in being recognized in her eyes.
The people who suddenly appeared were none other than neighbor Li Rong and his daughter.
Seeing that Chen Dengming's attitude was still friendly and kind, Li Rong relaxed slightly and said with a smile, "Since there is nothing going on here with fellow Taoist Gao, Li will not disturb you. We will get together when we get back."
"Okay!" Chen Dengming clasped his fists and said with a hearty smile, "Gao has achieved such a big harvest today, and I will treat Brother Li to a drink to celebrate when I get back."
Li Rong's heart moved, he glanced at Chen Dengming, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll wait for Brother Gao to serve the wine."
After Li Rong and his daughter left.
Chen Dengming urged Wu Lingduo to capture and lift the black clouded leopard, and then left quickly.
He has found a good den in the mountains, which can be used to specifically imprison the Black Clouded Leopard after it is covered with the Wind, Mist and Chaotic Formation made by Jiang Qiang.
He had accidentally encountered this monster recently. After seven or eight days of planning, he finally hunted it today. It was a pity to kill it just like that.
He planned to trap the beast and come here regularly to collect blood for practicing the Horned Dragon Bone Forging Technique.
Then use the blood evil spirit to nourish the internal organs and improve the overall condition of the body, so that the whole person is not only bone age, but the whole person is completely reborn and regains youth.
Doesn't the Changchun Sect have very high standards? Then he will start planning from now on and become younger, and he will be so young that the Changchun Sect will not be able to find any faults.
As for the problem of his own fundamentals, his neighbor Li Rong is the breakthrough point.
at dusk.
In the residence of Changlefang.
The smell of wine came.
When there is a little steam coming out of the wine bottle...
Chen Deng lifted the pot by the handle, poured the warm and spicy wine into two wine bowls, and handed it to Li Rong who was sitting opposite with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li, come and try this strong peach wine. You are a native of Changlefang. You must have never drunk the strong wine bar here?"
Li Rong smiled and took the wine bowl, and said meaningfully, "Fellow Taoist Gao is extremely powerful and should be the number one figure in the border area, but he came all the way from the border area and settled in Changlefang, but I don't know why?"
Chen Dengming sat down with a smile, picked up the wine bowl with a sigh, and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Li asked directly, Gao also told the truth, so this is nothing to hide.
I think almost all the neighbors living in Changlefang have had the idea of joining the Changchun Sect. "
"oh?"
Li Rong nodded slightly, not surprised, and said with a smile, "The Changchun Sect will probably recruit disciples in a month. With the strength of fellow Taoists, there should be no problem joining the Changchun Sect."
Chen Dengming shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine bowl, touched it with Li Rong, and said, "Brother Li, Brother Li, it's now this time and you still don't tell me the truth? You know very well that I must be in trouble. "
Li Rong's eyes flashed, "Fellow Taoist is extremely powerful and looks young, but he should be over forty, right?"
Chen Dengming smiled and shook his head, "Brother Li, you guessed wrong. In fact, Gao has just reached the age of forty this year and has not yet passed."
Li Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does it mean that fellow Taoist has a low-grade spiritual root?"
Chen Dengming shook his head and sighed, "That's the problem. I am not a low-grade spiritual root. I am even a high-grade spiritual root."
"High-grade spiritual roots!?" Li Rong was shocked.
"It's a pity that I am a high-grade metal and wood Xiang Ke Ling Gen. Fellow Daoist Li, you should be aware of the troubles of Xiang Ke Ling Gen."
Li Rong suddenly understood.
Although the dual spiritual roots of Xiangqi are high-grade, the speed of practicing techniques is only comparable to that of mid-grade spiritual roots, and it is also the worst among mid-grade spiritual roots. It is only normal when practicing techniques.
Therefore, there may indeed be some obstacles for people with such spiritual roots to join the sect.
But this kind of obstacle is usually not too big. This Taoist Taoist Fellow has other things to do.
Chen Dengming poured down another bowl of wine and said solemnly, "I am a top-grade Xiangke Linggen, so my cultivation speed is not too slow. In addition, I practice diligently all day long, hunting monsters in exchange for cultivation resources. For decades, I finally finally At the age of forty, he broke through to the tenth level of Qi training today.
All this is due to my personal efforts! "
Li Rong's eyes narrowed and he understood what else Chen Dengming wanted.
It lies in this 'personal effort'.
This is very unrealistic.
A casual cultivator, even if he has a top-grade Xiang Ke Linggen, even if he practices diligently and can hunt monsters and accumulate cultivation resources, it will be difficult for him to successfully reach the tenth level of Qi training in decades.
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's difficult
The word "difficult" means that even if this person meets the qualification and age requirements, the Changchun Sect will still reject him in other aspects.
No way, this is the reality.
Because this kind of talent is so strange.
If you were trained by any family, as long as you tell it, after the Changchun Sect investigates and confirms it, there will be no problem, and there is still a high probability that you will earn money.
But he has not joined any family. As a casual cultivator, he has been drifting in the world of immortality for decades. The probability of reaching the tenth level of Qi training alone is too small.
Maybe he didn't tell the truth and concealed his identity, which is a big problem.
Li Rong put down the wine bowl, saying that he was too drunk and could not drink anymore.
The meaning is obvious, we can't talk anymore.
He didn't want to take the risk by setting up a bridge for Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming sighed inwardly, having already expected this result.
He is not a charismatic protagonist. When he comes to a strange place, he only needs to spend some time and money to make friends with the person, and the other person will immediately become a brother-in-law.
That is impossible, and the opposite is often true.
However, he did not expect that this first honest communication would be successful.
If it were so easy, he would feel uneasy.
Naturally, he has other preparations.
For a whole month after that, Li Rong originally thought that fellow Taoist Gao next door would continue to visit him frequently after the communication failed.
He did not hesitate to promise various spiritual stones, magic weapons and other benefits as bribes.
He had already experienced this kind of routine from many fellow Taoists.
He has already made various plans to decline.
If the other party is really messing around, he will no longer be polite.
Although Gao Hu is powerful, he is still an outsider.
He thought that with his cousin's intimidation, the other party would not dare to go too far.
As a result, the whole winter has passed, and it will soon be the day for the Changchun sect to recruit people. The old man next door, Gao, has no intention of looking for him at all.
On weekdays, he is either practicing deep in the courtyard, practicing Taoism in the courtyard, or going out to hunt monsters.
This daily behavior is exactly the same as what he described.
It seems that the other party has indeed practiced hard in this way for decades, and it is very reasonable to have such strength.
Sometimes, this old man would even give some of the monster meat he hunted to his neighbors as usual.
Every time I see him, he greets her kindly as always, and gives the girl some weird gadgets, but doesn't mention anything about asking him for help.
Even if a person is just pretending, it’s hard to pretend to be such a good person all the time, right?
If he could really do it, he would be considered a good person.
Over time, let alone the surrounding neighbors.
Li Rong discovered that recently, the girls from home seemed to have gradually changed their impressions of Lao Gao, and often visited the next door without being able to stop him.
"I don't believe this guy named Gao. He must be pretending. In order to improve my impression, as long as I agree to him with a soft heart, I will fall into his trick."
In the courtyard, Li Rong lay on a wicker chair after eating. He stopped thinking about the child and his mother. He thought about Lao Gao all day long, "There must be something wrong with Lao Gao, so he has to ask my cousin to come forward for help." , help him join the Changchun faction, I can't be fooled.
Recently, I have to ask the girl to run away to him. I have told her several times but she doesn’t listen. This girl is too good to stay, huh? "
He stood up suddenly and realized that the girl was missing, and his face suddenly darkened.
I was about to get up and go to Lao Gao's house next door to look for her.
At the door, the girl Li Xue jumped in with a sparkling object in her hand, humming a tune.
Li Rong's face darkened, "You girl? Did you accept Lao Gao's things again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body flew past like a ignited fireball.
He grabbed the things in his daughter's hands and threw them to the ground.
"Snapped--"
"father!--"
The sound of things breaking and the daughter's crying cry sounded at the same time.
"Dad, what are you doing? This is the wireless kite that Uncle Gao bought for me. This is my mother's favorite thing to play with me in the past. You pay for it!"
Li Rong was startled, and then became even more angry, "This thing can only be found in Fengxue Village, five hundred miles away. You asked your Uncle Gao to go so far away to buy it for you?"
He couldn't let go of his hand, so he grabbed Li Xue and slapped her on the buttocks.
Li Xue cried even louder, "I didn't let him buy it. You asked the neighbors who was going there and asked for help to bring a wireless kite. He was hunting monsters and passed by a few days ago, so he bought it casually."
Li Rong was startled, and then realized that he couldn't resist his daughter's begging a few days ago. He had indeed heard about it from the neighbors, and offered to buy one for anyone who passed by Fengxue Village.
At this time, the commotion also attracted neighbors nearby, who all offered their kind words and advice.
Chen Dengming did not show up at all.
He was sitting in the room at this time, preparing to make final preparations for trying to break through a foundation building.
Of course, this time, it’s just a small try.
According to the explanation in the book "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Establishment", if you are not absolutely sure and try to break through Foundation Establishment for the first time, it is best to rub it at the door, feel it, and become familiar with this feeling.
The wireless kite I bought for Li Xue was indeed just a worthless thing I bought casually a few days ago when I went to Fengxue Village to buy a medicine to help with breakthroughs. It was not that I deliberately wanted to please this girl.
He wants Li Rong to change his mind and help him, and will not rely on Li Xue, a yellow-haired girl, to save the country.
Instead, he showed his potential to try to build a foundation.
If there is anything in the world that speaks louder than a low-grade spiritual stone, then it is a mid-grade spiritual stone. But the only thing that speaks louder than a spiritual stone is hard power.
Difficulties will arise from time to time in life, so don’t force yourself into anything. If you can get the wine in the cup by building the foundation, why should you keep your head down even if you are outside?
