After half a day, Zhu Qian put away the bag of spiritual tea with a smile, handed it over and left.

After Zhu Qian left, Meng Zhou did not do anything else. He recalled all the information he had just received from her and weighed it more carefully.

This time he invited Zhu Qian to come over, and he learned a lot about the situation of professional associations from her.

Meng Zhou was originally a member of the association, and she was roped into the association herself. Of course, Zhu Qian would not refuse his desire to know more about the association, and was even happy to share it with him.

Whenever he is interested or has questions, she will be happy to answer them for him.

Through today's exchange, Meng Zhou finally had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the current situation of the Professionals Association.

After having a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the association, the strongest feeling in Meng Zhou's heart was that it was strange, very strange.

The association in his impression, except for the association's logo and some rules and regulations that made him feel familiar, everything else was no longer what he had in mind.

But if you think about it carefully, it has only been three years since he suggested that Chu Zheng and other high-level officials call their last days and give the stage to newcomers.

All we can say is that the changes are too fast and the iterations are too frequent.

At the beginning, limited to the vision and horizons of Chu Zheng and others, they secretly carefully selected the eight professionals they were going to invite to take over the leadership of the association.

They all have their own strengths, which can be regarded as laying the prototype for today's professional associations.

But there is only one thing. Although they are all second-level professionals, their professional standards far exceed those of the association during the period led by Chu Zheng and others.

However, their cultivation and professional standards are not very outstanding among second-level professionals.

Meng Zhou also understood this very well.

This is certainly due to the fact that Chu Zheng and others' vision is too narrow - they don't know much about the situation in the second-level professional field, and they look up to all second-level professional people.

But there is another more important reason that prevents them from contacting those second-level professionals whose professional standards are too high.

They must ensure their own safety and that the continuity of the association is as controllable as possible.

Just imagine, any professional with a second-level high-grade professional level is most likely to be in the late stage of foundation building. Needless to say, his own strength and status, and more importantly, such a person is basically an important member of a big force.

members, even core members.

Even if you are a self-made casual cultivator who can reach such a high level, there is a high probability that you are the founder of a powerful force.

There really shouldn't be too many "meat eaters" around them.

If at that time Chu Zheng and a group of other minor Qi practitioners came to the door on their own initiative carrying a piece of fat meat, it's really hard to say what the outcome would be.

What is certain is that no matter what the outcome is, it all depends on other people's thoughts, and they themselves have no decision-making power.

Under these considerations, the second-generation successors carefully selected by Chu Zheng and others basically completed the first handover of the Professionals Association smoothly.

In a very short period of time, professional associations have experienced explosive expansion.

The original first-order force with only one or two first-order spiritual veins fluttering quietly has quickly transformed into an emerging second-order force with unlimited potential.

The scope of influence also started from Qinglinfang, the second-order spiritual vein, and quickly spread to more second-order spiritual veins.

However, as the scale of the Professionals Association rapidly expanded like a balloon, it became a dark horse that attracted the attention of many established forces. Even Qingxuan Sect rarely paid attention with interest.

In a very short period of time, the second-generation successors went from being “the association’s hope and leader” to being “the association’s drag”.

If they continue to hold the core position of the association, not only will the rapidly expanding Professional Association be in danger of falling apart, but they sitting in the crater will also be more likely to die inexplicably.

Their situation at that time was even more dangerous than Chu Zheng and others.

At least, Chu Zheng and others still have the option of "stifling the infant association to death and everyone dividing the luggage."

And being pushed into the public eye, they had no way out.

As for the solution, it's not hard to find.

After all, the first batch of founders such as Chu Zheng had already set a pattern for them, and they could just follow their footsteps.

As a result, these second-generation successors only lasted about half a year, and the association's leadership collectively transitioned to the third generation.

By this time, the development of the association had formed its own inertia.

Moreover, the internal forces are complex. It is difficult for any professional, even if he has a second-level high-level professional level and a late-stage foundation-building level, to reverse the operation of the association itself with just one person's words.

If we say that the association was like a snowball that had not yet taken shape during the period of Chu Zheng and others, it was pushed out of nothing by Chu Zheng and others.

The early stage when the second generation takes over the snowball can also determine the survival and shape of the snowball to a large extent.

By the third generation period, the snowball of the association had completely taken hold. The influence of individuals on the association was getting weaker and weaker, and it was more of a collective will.

During the third generation period, the professional association was divided into branches, which were accompanied by a large number of adjustments and changes.

Although there is no complete overhaul and transition to the fourth generation period, it is at least the 3.5th generation.

And from some of the things Zhu Qian revealed in her words, Meng Zhou felt that the fourth generation was not far away.

According to Zhu Qian, in the Alchemist Branch, the Weapon Refiner Branch, the Talisman Maker Branch, and the Array Master Branch, there are already third-level professionals at the core level. Among them, there are also people with fake elixir or even pill-forming skills.

These third-level professionals include those who were at the top level of the second level and have accumulated for many years in the later stages of foundation building, taking advantage of the trend in recent years to take off. There are also those who are more senior and are eager for the platform of the association.

Although the number is not too large, considering the general trend of Qingxuan Domain, it is not too long before the core layer is completely updated.

Because of these changes, the foreshadowing that Meng Zhou had reserved back then was basically half-empty.

Thinking of this, a strange token with "0" on the top and "10" on the bottom appeared in Meng Zhou's hand.

This is not the token magic weapon that Zhu Qian gave to herself, but the one that Chu Zheng gave to him in Qinglinfang. It was a piece torn out from a piece of second-grade top-grade spiritual gold.

At that time, a total of nine tokens were taken out of the piece of spiritual gold, one in his hand, and one for each of the other eight second-generation cores.

This is equivalent to the "original equity" of the professional association.

The main purpose of his doing this is to use this identity to gain some convenience in Cuiyu Lake when planning to form the elixir.

The problem now is that the other eight token holders, the second generation who have a certain degree of recognition of his identity, have collectively called their last days.

Although he has not been reduced to the level of "no such person" in the association, he only has some honorary titles in name only.

In order to preserve the little privileges they had left in their hands, each of them kept a low profile, focusing on running their own small territory and concentrating on cultivation.

There was a big tree called the Professionals Association outside, so it was very quiet.

If he still followed his original idea and came to the door with this token before preparing to form the elixir, he would not only cause trouble for them, but also cause trouble for himself.

His purpose of laying this foreshadowing in advance was to reduce trouble, but doing so would only increase trouble for himself.

Therefore, if you want to go to Cuiyu Lake to form elixirs, after this method that was once expected to be the simplest and most trouble-free is abolished, there are only two options left.

The first is to follow the path of Zhu Qian and her teacher, and obtain a suitable third-level spiritual land as a member of the spiritual planter branch.

The second is Li Daitao, who looks for a suitable target within the Qingxuan Domain, quietly handles the target, and then takes over the target's identity and goes to Cuiyu Lake to obtain a third-level spiritual land.

It must be mentioned that the Jade Lake Fairy City is a third-level spiritual land transformed from the second-level spiritual veins. In order to avoid fishing in the lake and ensure the sustainable operation of the fairy city, the management of the resident monks is very strict. The higher the cultivation level, the more strict the management.

The more stringent it is.

Especially monks in the Dan Formation realm.

Each additional resident alchemy cultivator will add a heavy burden to the fairy city until it reaches the limit that the fairy city can bear.

And the cultivation level of each pill-forming monk will continue to increase, so even if there are the same number of pill-forming monks, the burden on the fairy city will become heavier and heavier as time goes by.

By that time, not only will the Immortal City no longer easily accept new Dan-forming monks, but the Dan-forming monks already stationed in the Immortal City may be severely eliminated.

Of course, the Jade Lake Fairy City has just opened now, and it is far from this time. It is still opening its doors to attract talented people from all over the world and enhance its foundation.

But everyone is well aware of the precious significance of a third-level spiritual land that can be used for long-term practice.

Among them, I will not talk about the specific threshold. What is certain is that a monk with no past and no roots will definitely not be able to pass the level of the City Lord's Mansion.

Therefore, if he wanted to go to Cuiyu Lake Fairy City to practice in the next stop, he would have to put on a layer of vest for himself.

The two methods he thought of each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The first method is equivalent to borrowing the credit guarantee from the Professionals Association. He can blur his past to a certain extent. As long as he can pass the test of Teacher Zhu Qian, there will be no big problem.

But in the future, this is likely to be a deep pit that can bury the master and the apprentice.

The second method, in the short term, is the most trouble-free and labor-saving, but over time, it also has many disadvantages.

Moreover, although he is used to changing his appearance wherever he goes, these appearances are all made up out of thin air, and he was innocent in the past.

He doesn't like to become another person and take over the other person's grudges and all kinds of causes and effects.

As time went by, it was inevitable that his flaws would be revealed. He was worried that it would also subtly affect his own character, making him unknowingly become more and more like the person he "played".

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

Meng Zhou, who was thinking about this in his mind, thought of Chairman Pan's proposal again.

During the few months he devoted himself to meditation, many changes had taken place in Sanchuanyuan.

First, there is the follow-up to the black market on that day.

The real purpose of the fake alchemy monk who appeared on the black market under the pretext of launching an army to prosecute his crimes was well known to everyone.

It is a lie to stand out for the younger members of the clan. If you want to seize the opportunity to forcefully enter the Sanchuan Plain, it is true to step on the local snake like Sanchuanhui and gain the upper hand.

However, his wishful thinking had just begun, but it collapsed in an extremely humiliating way.

President Pan did not kill the other party, and I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into the other party. Just two days after that incident, the Sanchuan Club reported a news that shocked the entire Sanchuan Plain.
