Chapter 178 The Uneasy Taoist World

The next morning, Yan Mei packed up his tent and came to Ding Huan with a refreshed spirit:
"Brother Ding, I will definitely not hold you back today, so don't worry about the speed."

Ding Huan smiled and said, "What is your level of cultivation?"

Yan Mei touched his head and said awkwardly:
"I come from the mortal world. Although my family has some money, I can't buy any good skills. I practiced a relatively ordinary Zhengyang Jue. I am still in the stage of opening meridians and practicing qi."

Ding Huan immediately became interested when he heard this:
"Can you tell me how you practice?"

"Ah..." Yan Mei was slightly stunned when he heard Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan's strength is far stronger than his, so he must know more about how to practice than him, so why does he need him to tell him?
Since Ding Huan asked, he said, "It's about refining essence into qi. I'm in the process of refining essence into qi now, just waiting to build my foundation. I joined the Shuanghun Sect to build my foundation.

I have heard many people say that how far a person can go in the future depends on how well he builds his foundation.
If the foundation is not good, no matter how talented you are, your achievements will be limited. "

When Ding Huan heard this, it was as if a ball of information exploded in his mind, and endless knowledge flooded in.

Refining essence into qi, refining essence into qi…

Yes, refining essence into Qi is the stage of practicing Qi and building the foundation. Opening the meridians is also a part of practicing Qi. There are countless ways to build this foundation.

Everyone has different understanding and ability qualifications, so the way of building the foundation they choose is also different.

The stronger the foundation, the higher the ceiling for future growth.

As Ding Huan thought more and more, he had more and more ideas about laying the foundation, with all kinds of knowledge and experiences from past lives mixed together.

Combined with the past few years, something seems to be about to burst out.

Ding Huan let out a long sigh. At this moment he was just thankful.

He was glad that he did not build his foundation casually. He was not like Lao Liu, who kept thinking about building his foundation no matter where he went.

Obviously, Lao Liu failed to build his foundation again last night.

Because he hasn't built his foundation yet, there are endless possibilities.

Once the foundation is established, his future growth will be restricted by his foundation.

If that was the case, why did he still look for other people's foundation-building experience and methods? Why didn't he find his own way to build his foundation?
Only what suits you is the best and the one that brings the highest achievement.

At this moment, Ding Huan suddenly admired the Zhan Changjing of the Zhan family in the Sixiang Star Continent.

This guy must have understood that only by building his own unique foundation can he move into a higher level, so he created the Yundan Realm.

However, this guy obviously did not have the knowledge base he gained after obtaining the scroll, nor did he have more experience in refining essence into qi.

Even though he had achieved the Yundan realm, there was still no qualitative change in his strength, just like it is difficult to paint the bones while painting the skin.

Because of this, Zhan Changjing is no match for Ding Qi.

Only when the foundation is perfected can one proceed to the next step of refining Qi into spirit and nurturing the true elixir.

Deacon Qiong must have completed his foundation building and wanted to breed the real elixir, so he longed for the Ningxing Bamboo.

Fortunately, this thing was not given to that guy, otherwise he would have to look for it himself in the future.

Yan Mei didn't know that Ding Huan understood his future path, and continued to explain:
"If someone like me who comes from the mortal world wants to build a foundation, I must find a good sect..."

Ding Huan patted Yan Mei on the shoulder:

"We need to speed up our journey. I will not pass on my skills to you. You have your own skills.

Besides, when you join the sect in the future, you will also have new skills. I will teach you a supernatural power of rapid escape, called Extreme Shadow Escape..."

Yan Mei was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Brother Huan, can I learn some from you too?" Lao Liu interrupted.

Ding Huan nodded: "Of course you can study with Yan Mei."

"You, you... can speak?" Yan Mei stared at Lao Liu, his voice stuttering.

He had heard that there were monsters in the world of cultivation that could talk, but when this talking monster appeared next to him, he was really shocked.

Lao Liu was extremely proud in his heart, but he said lightly: "You ignorant fellow, I would have known how to speak a long time ago, I just didn't want to say it."

"Yes, yes..." Yan Mei even forgot that Ding Huan wanted to teach him the art of escape.

……

Zixia Valley.

The name means a valley, but it is actually a mountain range. The main peak, Zixia Peak, is the famous Lingyuan Peak in the Taoist world.

There are countless sects in the Taoist world, and Zixia Valley's strength can barely be considered average.

This strength is somewhat disproportionate to the territory occupied by Zixia Valley.

Zixia Valley has not produced any outstanding disciples in these years, and it is getting worse day by day.

Liu Yinzhu came back with six people, feeling very ashamed.

When she left, she took a deacon and four disciples with her.

When he came back, the deacon was gone and only one disciple was left.

And the final result was just recruiting five new disciples.

"Elder Liu, you're back." As soon as Liu Yinzhu arrived at the sect gate, the elder Jia Sha who was in charge of vigilance immediately came up to greet him.

Liu Yinzhu said ashamedly:

"I feel sorry for the sect. Three of the disciples I brought out this time died, including the deacon. Most of the disciples I recruited were also killed or injured."

To Liu Yinzhu's surprise, Jia Sha was not surprised at all, as if he had known about this for a long time:
"Elder Liu, the dead are gone, you should go see the sect master as soon as possible."

Liu Yinzhu was a little stunned. After a while, she looked at Jia Sha and said:
"Elder Jia, why don't you seem surprised? I didn't send any message back?" Jia Sha sighed:
“In fact, you are able to bring seven people back, which is much better than many sects.

Do you know that the sects that went to the mortal world to recruit disciples this time were almost wiped out. Only a few sects had people return, and those sects only had a few people at most. "

"Ah..." Liu Yinzhu screamed in shock.

Although she guessed that the sect that went to the mortal world to recruit disciples might suffer heavy losses this time, the Hanba and the Swallowing Foot Zombie were really too strange.

After actually hearing the news, I still felt shocked.

Jiasha sighed again:

"For us in Zixia Valley, the news that you can come back is the best news in this period of time."

"What's wrong?" Liu Yinzhu felt something was wrong.

Jia Sha said: "The sect master was seriously injured some time ago, and the sect's first guardian elder Pu Jun was assassinated by someone..."

"what?"

Liu Yinzhu felt her heart tremble. Was her Zixia Valley going to be destroyed? The clan leader was seriously injured and the first elder was killed?

"You should go and see the sect leader as soon as possible. It's hard to say whether the sect leader can survive." Jia Sha said in a low voice.

Without Jia Sha continuing to speak, Liu Yinzhu had already controlled the spaceship to rush into the sect and head straight for Zixia Peak.

After Liu Yinzhu left, Jia Sha said to Mo Huaping:
"Your master is going to see the sect master. You can take these newcomers to Elder Qin."

"Yes." Mo Huanping was also extremely nervous. Her master had vaguely told her before that the Taoist world was not as peaceful as it seemed.

Now that the sect’s two main pillars are about to collapse, does Zixia Valley still have a future?
……

"Sect Master..." Liu Yinzhu called out anxiously before reaching the place where the Sect Master was recuperating.

For Liu Yinzhu, the person she trusts most in Zixia Valley is Sect Master Gumo.

If Sect Master Gu had not brought her to Zixia Valley, she would not have become a sect elder, and it would have been a different matter whether she could survive to this day.

"Is Yinzhu back?" Gu Mo's somewhat tired voice came.

After Liu Yinzhu rushed into the room, she saw the sect leader Gu Mo lying on the bed with a pale face. He looked weak and even had a hint of death in him.

Liu Yinzhu's eyes turned red. She had never thought that the sect leader was seriously injured to this extent.

"You go out, Yinzhu stay." Gu Mo said to the woman who was waiting on the side.

The woman quickly bowed and replied, "Yes."

After saying this, she said hello to Liu Yinzhu again before leaving the room.

"I heard that only one out of ten of the sects that went to the mortal world to recruit disciples came back alive. I thought you were gone too, but I didn't expect you to come back."

Gu Mo's tone was somewhat emotional.

"Master, I feel sorry for the sect. Three of the disciples I led out died, and the deacon is gone too.

I only brought back five new disciples, and Mo Huaping, the disciple who originally followed me."

"Oh, that's good." Gu Mo sighed again.

"Master, what happened between you and Elder Pu? Why were you injured so badly? How did Elder Pu die?"

Liu Yinzhu said in an urgent tone.

Gu Mo sighed:

“Of the people who went to the mortal world to recruit disciples this time, less than one in ten were able to return alive to their sects. This incident shocked the entire Taoist world.

The Taoist sect alliance immediately invited all the sects to gather in Zhenyun Dao City to discuss solutions..."

Liu Yinzhu immediately understood that they were resolved by Ding Huan after meeting Hanba.

Other sects may not have a way to resolve it, but some sect elders have secret means of transmitting information, and they use blood sacrifices to send messages back before they die.

“After several days of negotiations without any results, the leader of the Taoist Sect Alliance suddenly received news of the arrival of a powerful person from the Ascension Realm, and he hurried to greet him.

I thought there was no point in staying in Zhenyun Dao City, so I just took Elder Pujun back to the sect first.

On the way back, we were ambushed and almost all of us were killed. I was the only one who came back seriously injured. "

After hearing Gu Mo's words, Liu Yinzhu shuddered all over. She guessed that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

Sure enough, Gu Mo continued:

"I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer, Yinzhu. You are the elder I think the most. I hope that after I leave, you can take over as the leader of Zixia Valley.

The location of Zixia Valley is too excellent, but the strength of Zixia Valley is not commensurate with it, this is what I have always been worried about. "

Liu Yinzhu was stunned. She was the sect leader? How was this possible?

"No, Sect Master, my cultivation is too poor. Besides, how can I be the Sect Master with my limited ability?" Liu Yinzhu refused eagerly.

Gu Mo coughed for a long time, then panted and said:

"Yinzhu, you are the only one who sees things in the long term. In terms of cultivation, who in the sect is qualified to be the sect master?
Therefore, the person I choose to be the sect leader must have good vision and a certain level of strategy, and be able to cope with the crisis facing Zixia Valley. This is not an easy task.

There is no weak person staring at Zixia Valley, but Zixia Valley is the weakest, ahem.
You are indeed a little bit lacking. There is no better candidate for Zixia Valley now. If Zixia Valley is not careful, it will be lost in the long river of history. I am unwilling to accept this."

Hearing this, a person suddenly popped up in Liu Yinzhu's mind, and she blurted out:

"Master, I know someone who is definitely qualified to be the master of our Zixia Valley."
