Then, Zhang Songlin elaborated on the specific treatment of Ji Ji Ke Qing.
For example, if your annual salary is fifty middle-grade spiritual stones, you can receive a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill every month for the initial stage of foundation building.
In addition, you can bring your family servants to follow you up the mountain, as long as there are no more than five people.
"... I don't know the specific situation in places further away, but if the seniors go to other nearby sects, they probably won't be able to get better than this treatment. They will also be ostracized and treated differently because of the people from the outside world!" Zhang Songlin said respectfully!
.
Unlike practicing qi and practicing casual cultivation, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power can only bend.
Foundation-building monks have more choices.
If you can't survive in this domain, you can go to other domains.
There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay!
Of course, Qi Liansan and Sanxiu can be forced into corvee service. Under the authority of the sect, who dares to disobey?
But you can't do this for foundation building.
At least not too much.
Chen Li was slightly moved after hearing this. He didn't like the salary of fifty middle-grade spiritual stones every year. What he valued was the third-level spiritual land and foundation-building techniques, but he didn't agree immediately.
Be prepared to look around first.:.
Look at the specific situation and weigh the pros and cons.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Once you join a sect, you won’t have as much freedom as a casual cultivator.
The risk has also increased significantly.
But then again.
Even if you don't join the sect, unless you live in isolation and have nothing to do with the Huanzhen Sect, you will still belong to the vassal force of the Huanzhen Sect.
When you should do corvee work, you still have to do corvee work. When you encounter danger, you still have to do it. Just like the last time we opened up wasteland, four foundations were lost, and I don’t know how many of them came from casual construction.
It is probably the same when you go to other places. The world is as black as crows. Living in other people's territory, there is no absolute freedom.
Chen Li sent Zhang Songlin away on the grounds that he needed some time to think about it.
…
In the days that followed, Chen Li began to visit the Jiji family in Luanluo City frequently.
I heard that there are new monks who are building foundations coming, and most of these casual monks who are building foundations are quite polite.
When I inquired about the situation, it turned out to be similar.
These foundation-building families basically all have the experience of being guests of the Huanzhen Sect. Many of them did not withdraw from the sect until they grew older and felt that their path was hopeless, and took in wives and concubines to enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of their lives.
It’s no wonder that most of these casual cultivators are quite old.
The youngest one also looks middle-aged.
Based on his true age, he should be a hundred years old.
More often than not, they appear old.
…
"Unlike these hopeless Foundation Establishment cultivators, I still have prospects for the future. Returning to the Zhen Sect is really the best choice!" After coming out of a Foundation Establishment mansion, Chen Li secretly made up his mind.
During lunch.
Chen Li told Zhou Hong about returning to Zhenzong as a guest guest.
Zhou Hong, who was eating, couldn't help but pause when he heard this, his eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "Then can you come back often in the future?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Li looked at him and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, so of course you will go with me. In fact, there are five places to go up the mountain this time. I was also thinking about whether I should find two servants.
This way you can feel more relaxed at ordinary times."
Zhou Hong suddenly burst into tears and smiled: "Actually, I'm not too busy with housework. How about... take Shu Niang with you, she still has the talent for cultivation. This mountain has rich spiritual energy and more cultivation resources. Maybe she can build a foundation in the future.
I can also use a companion."
Chen Lili thought for a while and said: "I don't have any objection, but Zhang Yan can agree. This daughter is his lifeblood."
"I will definitely agree. This is an opportunity that many casual cultivators dream of!" Zhou Hong took the initiative: "I will explain it when the time comes."
She is still careful.
As Chen Li became stronger and stronger, especially after building her foundation, she felt increasingly inferior.
She is already thirty-two this year. Although time has not yet left any trace on her, it will happen sooner or later. However, Chen Li is getting younger and younger. With the long life span, how long can she stay with him?
When her years passed and her youth was gone, even if Chen Li didn't dislike her, she would no longer have the shame to sleep in the same bed or stay with him.
And Zhang Shuniang knows the basics and is also well-behaved and sensible...
…
I don’t know what Zhou Hong said.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Yan came to the door with Zhang Shuniang:
"Senior Chen, for the sake of Shu Niang calling you uncle, you must take her with you!"
"Are you willing? Once you reach the mountain, you won't be isolated from the world, but it's not that convenient to come down." Chen Li said.
"There's nothing to be reluctant about, it's not that I can't see you anymore. Lady Shu can do any job and endure any hardship. If she doesn't obey, you can beat her. Don't worry about me!"
"Hey, I'm serious. Okay, since you agree, Shuniang will follow us when the time comes." Chen Li said quickly.
…
Two days later.
Zhang Songlin came to the door again, and it was finally time to set off.
Zhang Yan pulled Zhang Shuniang and kept chattering, and kept telling her:
"I must listen to your uncle from now on, you know? Just do whatever I ask you to do?"
"Dad! I will definitely tell you what uncle said." Zhang Shuniang burst into tears.
"You have to rush to do the work. You are not a guest, and don't be petty. If you are driven back by then, your father will be completely embarrassed..."
I can’t tell you all the advice, but I pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"I won't say much more, your uncle is already waiting!"
"Dad, I'm leaving then!" Zhang Shuniang turned back three times with each step.
"Go, go, don't miss home, practice well there!" Zhang Yan turned his head away and wiped the corners of his eyes to cover up.
…
The gate of Huanzhen Sect is located above Luanluo City.
Along the long mountain road, led by Zhang Songlin through the misty illusion, this mysterious mountain top was finally unveiled in the eyes of Chen Li and his party.
This place is wider than imagined. Along both sides of the mountain road, as far as the eye can see, there are patches of spiritual fields and medicinal fields, layer after layer, with mountains and mountains of various colors, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.
The various pavilions and pavilions there are densely packed and spectacular.
There are also countless monks, driving magic weapons back and forth, busy all the time.
Compared to Luanluo City, this place seems like another world.
"Senior Brother Zhang, who are these?" a monk guarding the mountain gate asked with his hands raised.
"This is the new guest, Senior Chen Lichen. I will take him to see the head of the general affairs."
Upon hearing this, the two people quickly bowed and saluted: "I have met Senior Chen."
Chen Li nodded slightly.
As Zhang Songlin walked on the road, he introduced the specific situation of the Huanzhen Sect to him. Chen Li listened carefully and asked questions from time to time, gaining a more or less preliminary understanding of the Huanzhen Sect.
The entire Huanzhen Sect has more than a thousand people, not counting mortal servants.
These Qi training period disciples are divided into the outer sect and the inner sect.
Basically, in terms of cultivation, under the age of twenty, when entering the late stage of Qi training, they will be promoted to inner disciples. These people will be provided with the best resources and the best spiritual land. They can only focus on cultivation, regardless of anything else.
thing.
As for those outer sect disciples, it is relatively hard. Besides practicing, they also need to be responsible for handling various chores and engaging in production.
It was these disciples who accompanied the corvee in the beginning.
"Actually, when it comes to cultivation, many outer sect disciples are not inferior to inner sect disciples, and they are all in the later stage of Qi training. It's just that they are older and have little hope of building foundations." Zhang Songlin couldn't help but add another sentence.
Because he is an outer disciple.
"Does getting older have a big impact on foundation building?" Chen Li turned around and asked curiously: "I was already forty-six when I was building foundation."
"...Senior is a man of great luck. How can ordinary people like us compare with seniors." Zhang Songlin felt depressed after hearing this and said quickly. His face did not hide his envy for Chen Li, and even showed an expression of jealousy.
.
Chen Li heard it. This guy was talking about his bad luck.
It’s obviously my own efforts!
However, he did not care about the other party.
He could feel that although the other party was respectful to him and spoke appropriately, in his heart he looked down upon him who was born as a casual cultivator.
This is not surprising. Sect disciples, proud sons of the emperor, have always been arrogant and arrogant. Even if they are forced to bow their heads due to the situation, how can they really look down on the people who are trying to counterattack from the bottom of their hearts.
Chen Li was not very angry at all, and was even a little happy.
Zhang Songlin quickly adjusted his mood and continued to introduce Chen Li.
The entire Huanzhen Sect's foundation building, including Keqing, has a total of twenty-four.
Among them, there is only one in the late stage of foundation building, his surname is Xia and his given name is Hongyi. He is the current head of general affairs of Huanzhen Sect whom he wants to meet on this trip.
In addition, there are six people in the middle stage of foundation building, and the rest are in the early stage of foundation building.
As for the Huanzhen Sect’s only Jindan ancestor, he is in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation and is already over 300 years old. Of course, for the Jindan ancestor, this age is still at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. In the future, it is possible for him to reach the later stage of Jindan and even break through to Nascent Soul.
.
A group of people walked to the top of the mountain.
Chen Li found that this place was like a small cultivation city, with a large number of buildings built along the mountain, row upon row, undulating, in an orderly manner, with each step providing a view, and there were all kinds of shops and restaurants.
Zhang Songlin led Chen Li and others to the hall of a main hall. After greeting the gatekeepers to bring tea, he bowed and said, "Senior, please wait here for a moment while I go to report to the head."
"No problem!" Chen Li said.
Wait until Zhang Songlin leaves.
Chen Li looked at Zhou Hong, who had been silent and a little reserved all the way, and said in a comforting voice: "Relax, I'll take care of everything."
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong's heart warmed: "You don't have to worry about us."
Chen Li thought for a while and recruited a gatekeeper disciple.
"Senior, do you have any orders?" The gatekeeper disciple bowed and saluted.
"I want to see the leader later. If there is a place to rest, take them there to sit for a while."
"Yes, yes, you two, please come with me."
The gatekeeper disciple did not dare to neglect, and said quickly, taking Zhou Hong and Zhang Shuniang to a nearby room to rest.
Didn't have to wait long.
A burst of hearty laughter came.
Chen Li quickly stood up from his seat. The man who came was tall and looked to be about forty or fifty years old. He had a beautiful beard and strode into the door.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please sit down quickly. You don't have to be polite here."
"Chen Li, I have met the leader!" Chen Li said with cupped hands.
"It seems that the Zhen Sect moved here at the right time. In the second year, guests like Taoist friends joined us, so good!"
