Chapter 320 Volume C New Year, New Year's Eve Dinner
After receiving support and encouragement from Wu Tianen, Chen Huaisheng felt more confident.
He knew his current situation very well. Not everyone liked him. It could even be said that many people did not like him.
A young man who entered the field at the age of 20, who entered the field through backdoors, had no background and did not seem to have any outstanding talents. How could he soar to the sky?
Speaking of hard work, who would not work hard?
It would be fine if you said you were outstanding, but you left everyone far behind, making it difficult for others to catch up.
Especially those who entered the field at about the same time, or even two years earlier than you, how could they accept it?
Many people envied and hated themselves in their hearts, and then slowly turned into disgust and hostility.
This emotion would continue until he completely crushed them so that they would no longer have the desire to catch up, and then it would slowly disappear.
My promotion to the high stage of Qi Refining was a good start. Some people had already realized this and were gradually accepting it.
But there are still some people, like Zhu Fengbi, You Shaoyou, Cao Renben, Qiao Zhun, the older generation, who either misjudged them at the beginning or simply couldn't stand them.
Chen Huaisheng could understand and comprehend this mentality, but he would not change himself because of it.
"Master, I understand, and I will definitely live up to your high expectations." Chen Huaisheng didn't say much, just nodded heavily.
"Well, your path may be different from anyone else, so you don't have to imitate anyone, but you don't have to deliberately target anyone. Listening to both sides will make you wise, but listening doesn't mean you have to adopt it,..."
Wu Tianen's words also matched Chen Huaisheng's thoughts. Master Wu knew him best.
"When I was at the peak of Qi training, I wandered around for many years without a solution, and even had the idea of giving up, but Senior Brother Li Yu only asked me one question, do you want to build a foundation? I said yes, and he asked me if I felt that I was on the wrong path of cultivation. I said I didn't think so, and he said, then stick to your own path, as long as you think it's right, you will definitely succeed."
Wu Tianen was moved, "So I persisted for another two years, ten years to build a foundation, which is the longest time in the sect, but I still built a foundation! So, as long as you believe in it and feel that it's right, you must persist, no one will know you better than you!"
Chen Huaisheng took a deep breath, "Then I will go my own way."
"Well, in addition to thunder magic, are you planning to tame beasts?" Wu Tianen turned the topic to specific cultivation, "Why do you want to consider taming beasts? Isn't thunder magic enough?"
Although he supported Chen Huaisheng to choose his own cultivation path, it did not mean that Wu Tianen would not ask, he did not agree with this point.
Human energy is limited. Spiritual cultivation is the foundation. Magic or sword cultivation is to enhance one's combat power and also help spiritual cultivation. He thinks this is correct, but taming spirit beasts can neither significantly improve combat power in the short term nor consume a lot of spiritual materials and energy. This is a bit of a waste of time.
He can understand Chen Huaisheng's considerations.
These few times, whether Chen Huaisheng traveled or participated in Taoist meetings, he experienced fierce battles and was on the verge of life and death several times.
This feeling may have stimulated Chen Huaisheng a lot, making him prefer to slow down his spiritual cultivation to improve combat power.
But you can concentrate on practicing thunder magic, and you don't have to open up the path of taming spirit beasts.
Chen Huaisheng explained his intention to hatch and tame the winged fire snake. It would be a pity if the red rock essence plus a large number of fire spirit plants were abandoned.
Chen Huaisheng didn't dare to tell Wu Tianen that he was even ready to get in touch with talismans and spells.
If Wu Tianen knew that he still had to practice talismans and spells, he would be furious.
But Chen Huaisheng didn't think that the spells and taming of spirit beasts would affect his spiritual practice.
Taming spirit beasts doesn't take much energy, especially for the Winged Fire Snake. The most important thing is to have the supply of spirit materials and food in place. As for taming beasts, with the experience of communicating with the three spirits, the Winged Fire Snake is no problem at all.
Because of the high growth of the Winged Fire Snake, Chen Huaisheng even looked forward to whether he could play to a high level on it.
Snake - Jiao - Dragon, big snake turns into Jiao, strange Jiao turns into dragon, this is what is said in ancient books, but it has never been realized, so it's not a bad idea to try it yourself.
Winged Fire Snake can live to eighty years old, eighty years, there are too many growth spaces and variables.
Coming out of Wu Tianen's Taoist temple, Chen Huaisheng's mood became much better.
Although Li Yu went out to travel and transcend the tribulation to ascend, with Wu Tianen, he has the most solid support in the sect.
It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else, but before you build your foundation, both Zhu Fengbi and You Shaoyou will have some influence on you.
As for Shang Jiuling, this person is a very good leader, but as a master, he can only be said to be so-so.
Of course, he is also treated well by others, and he is grateful, but it is unlikely that he will be as dedicated as Zhao Sitian to Ren Wuchen and Zhu Fengbi to Zhuo Yixing.
Shang Jiuling's mind is on the entire sect. When the interests of the sect conflict with other personal interests, he must first consider the interests of the sect.
In this regard, as a leader of a sect, there is nothing wrong, but for Chen Huaisheng, he can only put his own interests first and strive for and pursue what he wants.
Wu Tianen did not mention that he was guiding a group of people in the Transmission Academy, so Chen Huaisheng understood that as long as the sect rules did not prohibit it, he could do it according to his own ideas.
There are only two days left before the Chinese New Year.
This is the first Spring Festival since the Chonghua sect moved to Hebei, and the whole mountain is filled with a New Year atmosphere.
Couplets, door gods, peach boards and peach symbols are all displayed, and snow lions are also piled up everywhere in the mountains, becoming the favorites of young disciples, especially young girls.
Inviting friends, attracting bees and butterflies, finding a place to go and a few gourds of spirit wine, taking out some marinated monster meat, and singing songs has become the best way for the disciples to relieve their homesickness.
It was not yet dark, but Chen Huaisheng's Taoist residence was full of joy and laughter.
Min Qingyu and Ren Wugao shuttled like butterflies, placing plates and chopsticks, and then placed the prepared cold ice mushrooms, red moss, indigo moss, and even Taiyin Baizhi on the table.
Sandeling rolled up his sleeves and waved his shovel, busy working on the stove.
Hu Delu put a pot of wine into a silver basin and warmed the wine to taste.
Zhao Liangkui swung his knife to cut. An arrow deer hanging on the wooden frame had been skinned long ago, and the venison was cut off piece by piece.
Ren Wuchen next to him took the sliced meat with a smile, carefully smeared the meat with oil, sauce and minced onion, garlic and ginger, and then handed it to Chen Huaisheng who was standing on the iron grill.
Chen Huaisheng placed the smeared meat slices on the iron rack and started to activate the charcoal underneath.
The charcoal fire was blazing, making the entire Taoist courtyard glow red.
Soon the venison fat fell into the charcoal fire, splashing with flames, and the rich aroma spread out in the courtyard.
"Wugu, bring some more stingray tails and the shark tendons. It's the Chinese New Year and we have to eat something good." Chen Huaisheng said loudly.
The ringed star ray's tail whip has a large number of tail whiskers, which are as thick as fingers, a bit like the squid tentacles in the previous life. It is also the deadly weapon for the ringed star ray to release thunder and lightning. It is also the part with the strongest spiritual power of the ringed star ray. Call it essence.
The tail whiskers of almost every ringed star ray were cut off by Chen Huaisheng. The tail whiskers of a ringed star ray that easily weighed 70 to 80 pounds weighed only 7 or 8 pounds, but Chen Huaisheng forcefully took back nearly 100 pounds.
Sametengi is also the essence of Yasa Kisame. There is only one main tendon on one end, and the spiritual energy is connected through it, which is very beneficial to the nourishment of spiritual roots.
So much so that after the war, many disciples of the Holy Fire Sect went to look for ringed star ray carcasses to cut the meat, only to find that there were no tails on these carcasses at all.
"Wuchen, is your master so boring? He just sent you away during the Chinese New Year without saying anything and not caring about the meal?"
While warming the wine, Hu Delu teased the young man who was applying oil sauce, ginger and green onion.
"My master fell into trance a few days ago, and I don't know when he will wake up..."
Ren Wuchen often came here with his sister. Although it was very difficult to practice at Zhao Sitian's place, he would come here whenever he had free time, and he became very familiar with Hu Delu and others.
"Then you, a disciple, don't stay by Master's side and come out to eat and drink..." Zhao Liangkui wielded his sword like flying without raising his head: "Senior Brother Zhao's heart trembles when he sees you like this... "
"My master has told me a long time ago that when he enters samadhi, I will take care of myself, and there is no need to stay at the Taoist residence. Moreover, this time the master has gone to the mountains to retreat..." Ren Wuchen said with a grimace. The only food in the house was millet porridge, jade-wheat cakes, and a few pieces of iron-maned wild boar. They were saltless and tasteless, and tasted very bland..."
Sandang Ling laughed and scolded: "You have meat to eat and you are still picky? Go and see how many people in the second house can have meat every meal?"
"Hmph, I'm already at the second level of Qi Refining. Even if I'm in the Chuan Gong Academy, I should be in Jiashe." Ren Wuchen raised his head, "In a few years, I will be able to catch up with some of my uncles... …”
"Wuchen!" Ren Wuguan, who was serving the dishes at the side, his face darkened, "Nothing big or small, there are simply no rules. If you do this again, get out and don't come here anymore..."
Seeing that his sister was angry, perhaps due to the suppression of her blood, Ren Wuchen shrank his neck in fright and did not dare to say a word.
The atmosphere in the Taoist house seemed to become a little awkward all of a sudden.
Among the people in this house, Sandeng Ling is twenty-nine, Chen Huaisheng is twenty-four, Hu Delu and Zhao Liangkui are twenty, Min Qingyu is eighteen, and Ren Wuji is fourteen, but Ren Wuchen has just turned ten.
But Ren Wuchen is already at the second level of Qi Refining, and is about to reach the third level of Qi Refining, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to advance to the third level of Qi Refining within one to two years.
But apart from Chen Huaisheng and Ren Wugao, not to mention, they were still at the first level of Qi refining, and several others were still lingering at the third level of Qi refining, and it was difficult to break through for a long time.
Although the words of a child are unpleasant, they are the truth. If there is no more entry, maybe people will catch up next year, or even within a few years.
