Strange Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 350 Volume C: Farming and Digging Holes to Build Foundations

"Uncle Master, I know what you mean. After the cave is completed, I will focus on cultivation. If there is nothing special, I will practice hard here peacefully."

Chen Huaisheng had to give Wu Tianen a reassurance, "I have not given up my practice in the past month. The eleventh level of thunder magic has become more and more proficient and perfect, and my spiritual practice has also improved day by day. Don't worry."

Wu Tianen nodded and sighed, "It's good that you understand the priorities. Without strength, everything is in vain. But I'm afraid that the sect will not be peaceful in the next one or two years. I'm worried that even if you want to practice hard behind closed doors, I'm afraid it may not work."

Chen Huaisheng was powerless to solve this problem.

Although most of the wolf pack in Bajiao Village was killed, a few still escaped into the mountains.

The Du family of Bajiao Village suffered heavy losses, and the Youzhou Ning family behind it now seemed to have recovered and began to intervene here again. The Du family is now at a loss and doesn't know what to do.

The disappearance of the demon corpse group is the biggest hidden danger, especially since it involves Fengyi Sect.

There is also the fate of Lingyun Sect.

Once Yuelu Sect really wants to attack Lingyun Sect, Chonghua Sect will inevitably be involved. No one can predict how this fierce battle will turn out.

This is why Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi are willing to make huge concessions to let Ding Zongshou join Chonghua Sect.

This is exactly the same as the reason why Baishi Sect would rather bear the bad reputation to let Wu Yue's notorious evil cultivator Zhang Taiquan join.

Because without Zhang Taiquan's joining, Baishi Sect will not have overwhelming strength in the battle against Chonghua Sect, and Chonghua Sect may not easily give in.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng silent, Wu Tianen also laughed dumbly. He also thought too much and too far, and it was still the most urgent to fall into reality.

"Okay, I won't say more. I also know that you are a man with ideas. Sanderling went into seclusion with Hu Delu after returning from Huluji? Are you sure to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining?" Wu Tianen asked casually.

"It should be possible." Chen Huaisheng was still very concerned about the seclusion of his loyal supporters: "We have already prepared the Yancao Pill. Delu and Deling have never stopped practicing for a year. Especially Deling has gained a lot from his experience in Huluji this time. I expect that three months of seclusion can achieve the goal."

Sanderling is almost thirty years old, nearly ten years older than Hu Delu, Zhao Liangkui and others. If he doesn't enter the middle stage of Qi Refining, it will be a bit late.

After Sanderling came back, he felt good about himself. Chen Huaisheng also supported him to immediately go into seclusion to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and prepared Yancao Pill for him, so Sanderling is now in seclusion.

Hu Delu was in a similar situation, so he simply let the two of them go into seclusion together. Zhao Liangkui's situation was slightly worse, so he helped to look after him. After three months, it depends on the two people's seclusion.

Wu Tianen also knew that although Chen Huaisheng had not accepted any disciples, there was already a small circle around Chen Huaisheng, and it seemed that the number of people in this small circle was still increasing.

For example, Ren Wugui and Yunlei, the two little girls had good qualifications, and now they followed Chen Huaisheng to accept Chen Huaisheng's guidance in cultivation.

Wu Tianen also knew that this was an inevitable phenomenon after the Chonghua Sect reformed the rules of the cultivation system. Targeted acceptance and teaching of disciples will naturally form a group circle with Taoist masters as the core. This is inevitable.

It's just that Chen Huaisheng has already shown such a trend in his twenties, which makes him a little worried about whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Chen Huaisheng.

After seeing Wu Tianen off, Yao Liwei and Zhao Sitian came to congratulate him one after another.

In fact, they will soon establish their own caves, but the areas they choose are closer to Longlinyuan.

Chen Huaisheng didn't feel relieved until all the guests were sent away.

Now, Yunzhong Mountain, Bailu Cave, and Bailu Taoist Temple belonged to him completely.

The distance of more than 20 miles from Longlinyuan was enough to make it unlikely for ordinary people to come here without any reason.

If there was no special situation, Chen Huaisheng planned to go to the gate of Longlinyuan every ten days in the next year to see the progress of Hu Delu and Sanderling.

He would go out of the mountain once every season to buy necessities at Baitapu.

The rest of the time, he would practice in the mountains with peace of mind.

The twenty or so Taoists recruited were all in place, some from Minjialou, some from Shitangzhuang and Datuweizi, and some from Bajiaozhai.

These Dao Seeds from Bajiao Village did not belong to the Du family, but were Dao Seeds from some small clans within the Bajiao Village. After discovering that the Chonghua Sect began to replace the Du family as the leader of the Fuyang Dao, they took the initiative to come to Wolongling to find a living and were recruited. There was even a cultivator who was in the second level of Qi Refining, but he was too old and had no room for advancement.

Bailu Cave was recorded in the book, so it was naturally famous in the Dongxuan Sect. The reason for its fame was not only that Yunzhong Mountain was rich in spiritual energy, and Bailu Cave was particularly rich, but also because of its moderate location.

The hundreds of acres of spiritual land in the west have fertile soil and spiritual spring irrigation, which is very suitable for growing jade wheat and spiritual millet.

There is also a spiritual pool in front of the mountain in the east, and there are also several kinds of spiritual fish in the pool. Although it is not special, it can always be used to improve the food.

The slope of the southern hillside is gentle, and it is sunny. As long as the shrubs and weeds are removed and the land is reclaimed, it is very suitable for growing spiritual herbs.

The valley on the north side has a strong yin energy, making it a good place to cultivate yin spiritual plants.

After crossing the spiritual land in the west, heading west, you will enter the hinterland of Canglongbei. The mountains become more steep and majestic, and the chances of monsters appearing are greatly increased.

Even in Yunzhong Mountain, Chen Huaisheng and the others encountered monsters several times during the cleanup process, but twice they were big-horned sheep, once they were mountain civets, and once they were Moyun white eagles.

Bighorn sheep have become barbecued meat, while mountain cats have fled into the ground.

But Moyun Baidiao almost hunted Yunlei away. If Chen Huaisheng hadn't reacted quickly enough and struck the white eagle away with the Yitian Sword, Yunlei would have become Baidiao's meal. .

This also reminded everyone, including Chen Huaisheng, that the situation here was almost the same as that in forbidden areas such as Yushan in Da Zhao. Monsters often appeared, and there were even second-order monsters.

The differences between the second-level monsters are also huge.

Moyun White Eagle and Ice Scale Blood Python are considered weak and can be dealt with by high-level Qi Refiners, but things like the Black Thunder Leopard, Red-Haired Mammoth, and Five-Hearted Charming Cat, even if Chen Huaisheng encounters them, The only option is to retreat and escape.

Especially the top second-order monsters like adult red-haired mammoths are basically the same as third-order monsters, and they must be avoided even if they are at the first level of foundation building.

Because of this, when some Taoists thought they could bring their families over, Chen Huaisheng did not agree.

We are not familiar with the situation here now. Even if it is a Taoist species, it will be very dangerous. Ordinary mortals may die unfortunately if they encounter a gradeless monster. The risk is too high.

"Taoist, this is it." Huo Zhentang, who was leading the team, was the Qi Refining Level 2 from Bajiao Village. He pointed at the large basin down the slope that was like the bottom of a pot, and he was quite excited.

"We made a rough calculation and found that the whole piece of land is about 600 acres, and the surrounding pieces of land are one or two hundred acres. Look, there is a stream hidden in the forest over there, which can be diverted for irrigation. Part of it can be irrigated, so there is no problem in growing millet. Only in the southwest, where the terrain is slightly higher, we can only grow jade and wheat. "

Huo Zhentang is already over 90 years old. In terms of real combat strength, he is probably only one Qi Refining Level 1, but he still looks very strong.

But he knew that there was no hope for his cultivation, and his only hope was his grandson.

But the grandson was just seven years old and had already understood the Tao. He still had to wait until he awakened his spiritual roots before he could have a chance to join the Chonghua sect. This was also the reason why he came to the Chonghua sect.

"How is the soil fertile?" Chen Huaisheng looked over and asked.

"It's all good. It's slightly better than the one in Longlinyuan. However, it will take some time to reclaim this area. If we can recruit some more people, even mortals, it will be much easier."

Huo Zhentang licked his lips and said.

Of course Chen Huaisheng knew this guy's intentions, but he wouldn't make such an opening, at least not now.

"Old Huo, you don't have to tell me this. You also watched the last Moyun White Eagle raid. Not to mention mortals, even if you encounter them, they will be fatal. If you recruit too many people, how can you take care of them? ? You and I have to figure out how to set up warnings and restrictions here."

Chen Huaisheng is telling the truth. This place is too far away from Longlinyuan. The mountain protection formation cannot cover this place at all, even if it is closer than twenty miles.

If he wanted to set up a mountain-protecting array by himself, the investment would be too great. Even a small array would consume tens of thousands of spiritual stones, which he couldn't afford now.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Wealth and honor are in the sky. If we really encounter it, no one can blame anyone. Taoist master, you are too worried. They may not encounter this kind of thing outside the mountain." Huo Zhentang disagreed.

Are there fewer encounters with monsters looking for food every winter and spring?

From ten miles to eight villages, wouldn’t dozens of people die that year?

There are people who sleep in the house and never wake up. Isn’t it hard to survive?

"Okay, not now. We'll talk about it in the future. At least we have to get this piece out first and look like it." Chen Huaisheng waved his hands, he was too lazy to argue with the other party, "The plan for the year lies in the spring, Lao Huo, Qin Ke You have to hurry up, don't delay, just burn this area to waste, burn it with fire, it will be enough in three to five days. "

"Well, it's almost the same. Burning the grass and trees into ashes will fertilize the fields, but you have to draw a boundary, otherwise the fire will be difficult to control." Huo Zhentang also looked around, "Taoist, we plan to build a house on this slightly higher ground first. , and we need to ask the Taoist master to help us create a spring."

Chen Huaisheng nodded and said nothing. He pressed his hands on the ground and went straight into the ground two feet. After a while, he roughly found the direction of the underground spring.

Then he walked more than ten steps south, then suddenly raised the Yitian Sword and threw it towards the ground. The sword body penetrated into the ground with aura, quickly downwards, and disappeared in an instant.

Using his hands in succession, the Yitian Sword went straight into the ground, erupted violently, and then rushed all the way out of the ground. Then Chen Huaisheng put his hands into the hole formed by the sword light, and waved it continuously, creating a three-foot-square well. The eyes appeared as the rolling soil flew out.

"Lao Huo, just lower the bamboo pole this way."

It's that simple for swordsmen to dig a well.
