Chapter 72 Dust MountainA small courtyard on the south side of Tiangang City. If there was nothing else important, Ji Sheng would usually lie down in his own yard. "Mr. Ji is practicing and meditating alone again." Before entering the yard, Ouyang Chuan saw Ji Sheng lying on a bench through the window. To others, Ji Sheng always said that he was practicing meditation while lying down. Since this was the case, Ouyang Chuan naturally started with a joke. Hearing this, Ji Sheng slowly sat up, and the gate opened with a wave of his hand. "How come time has passed so quickly? You have all returned from the front lines. How about it? Are you tired again? With a group of new disciples, doing all kinds of things, you can't let your eyes down for even a moment, right?"
Ji Sheng, who was lying here to rest, obviously had no idea what was happening on the front line of Tiangang City. "It's actually not that bad. The frontline defense is relatively stable this year and not too busy." Hearing this, Ji Sheng also stood up and stretched. "Once you come back, I will have to arrange some tasks for them. Otherwise the great elder will come to preach again, it would be annoying to listen to. Oh, by the way, if you want to talk to me about something, Mr. Ouyang, just tell me. " Ji Sheng still had that casual attitude. When Ouyang Chuan looked for him, it was basically to talk about students and disciples. He had no interest in these things. "It's like this, there was a disciple before, Su Chen, Mr. Ji should remember him, right?" "Why, did he make Mr. Ouyang angry again?" Ji Sheng smiled. Ouyang Chuan kept shaking his head. "No, no, I just want to discuss with Mr. Ji whether he can return this disciple to me. I think he actually has some talent.” "Seeing him win first place in the new disciple competition, I feel like he still has some potential?" Hearing this, Ji Sheng's smile became even more intense. "But if you ask me, Mr. Ouyang, you overestimate him. His talent potential is actually just average, perhaps slightly above average. After his strength reaches the seventh level, others will quickly widen the gap with him.
There is not much difference between this kind of disciple in your place and in mine." “I think talent and potential are only part of a person, character and morality are also important. He has good moral character, and I want to give him more training and care." Ouyang Chuan's explanation didn't seem to convince Ji Sheng. "You know I don't care whether these disciples stay or go. But I was recently scolded by the Great Elder, and no matter which disciple leaves me, he will scold me again. Forget it, there are still a few months left, and it’s time for them to start working on their own.” Ji Sheng doesn't care about these things, but if he refuses, it will usually be very difficult to persuade him. Ouyang Chuan knew Ji Sheng quite well, so seeing his reply, he had no choice but to give up. Although I didn't get Su Chen back, I can still give him some help. Returned to Tiangang City. The first thing Su Chen did was to take out his own top-grade weapon. The senior craftsman had already completed the casting. Holding a top-grade long sword, it seems that the power of his moves has been greatly enhanced. After getting the weapons, Su Chen met with his classmates who were also under Ji Sheng. It’s in the attic where I studied before. When he went there, Su Chen found that many disciples under Mr. Ouyang were guiding their classmates. I guess it was Mr. Ouyang who heard what I said before. He then arranged for his disciples to come and give instructions. It was almost noon, and after receiving the instructions, the disciples left one after another. Before leaving, Jin Yue and Ruan Ting walked up to Su Chen, bowed politely to him, called him Senior Brother Su, and then left the attic. After walking a little further, Jin Yue couldn't help but look back and took a few more glances. In the attic, after seeing Su Chen, many other classmates came to express their gratitude. The students under Mr. Ouyang attributed the reason they came for instruction to Su Chen. Because Su Chen saved people, they came to repay his kindness. The classmates around him expressed their sincere gratitude, which made Su Chen feel a little embarrassed. After some pleasantries, they started talking about business. When Su Chen came here, he wanted to ask other classmates if Ji Sheng had any other arrangements. Su Chen only knew that there was a mid-year test. I don’t know if there will be anything else before this mid-year test.
If there are no other arrangements, then you have to practice according to your own ideas. Su Chen had already reached the eighth level of spiritual refinement and perfection in strength, so he had a lot of things to do. You need to be familiar with your current strength. In "Nine Skies Sword Power", every move you make will drain your body's strength. Now that Su Chen has gone a step further, his physical strength has improved, and he wants to master this life-saving trick more deeply. In addition, Su Chen also needs time to study "Xingyunbu". "A few days ago, Mr. Ji Sheng sent someone to tell us that he would take us to Chenyuan Mountain for training on the ninth day of the first lunar month. That should be all until the mid-year test. He is such a lazy person, he would definitely only think of arranging for us to go if it is a training arranged by the sect." This was not the first time Su Chen had heard the name Chenyuan Mountain. Chenyuan Mountain is located on the northeast side of Tiangang City, but it is not part of the territory of Tiangang City. But for more than a hundred years, the safety of Chenyuan Mountain has been guaranteed by Tiangang City. To a certain extent, Chenyuan Mountain is controlled by Tiangang City. However, the most direct jurisdiction is still under the control of Chenyuanshan himself. "It seems that there is a precious place for cultivation in Chenyuan Mountain?" Hearing Su Chen's reply, the classmate beside him also hurriedly answered. “Well, there is a precious place on Chenyuan Mountain for strengthening the body. It is extremely beneficial for us disciples who are in the Body Refining Realm and the Essence Refining Realm. We don't need to spend contribution points when we go up this time. If you want to go there again in the future, it will cost a lot, and you may not have the opportunity to go there again.” As to what the wonders of Chenyuan Mountain are, the classmates around me can only make some guesses. They are all disciples with no background and no outstanding talents. The most I have heard about Chenyuan Mountain is from others, and I have no chance to learn the specific details. But what I heard can also be used as a reference. Chenyuan Mountain is a precious place for spiritual practice, not just for strengthening the body. According to rumors heard from classmates, many people have even broken through their current realms in the precious land of cultivation. There, it is of great help to improve the realm before the seventh level. Go ask Mr. Ouyang, Jin Yue and the others, maybe they should know. But after thinking about it, Su Chen didn't waste his energy to inquire.
The ninth day of the lunar new year is approaching. You will know the specific situation when you go to Chenyuan Mountain. During these two days, Su Chen also received communication from the sect. Tiangang City gave him the status of a direct disciple, and the residence that had not been allocated to him before was finally allocated to him. However, he only has the status of a direct disciple and can obtain some of the privileges of a direct disciple. As for who will lead Su Chen in his practice and the relevant resources, no arrangements have been made. But with these, Su Chen is already quite satisfied. He had been in Yunyang Sect for more than two years and had made great contributions before he was able to obtain the status of an inner disciple. It is obviously much clearer here in Tiangang City. I have never encountered any case of credit being withheld. Instead, he helped out on the front lines, and everyone else saw his merit and contribution. After returning from the front line, Su Chen discovered that many people in the sect knew about his contributions. (End of this chapter)
