The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 143 140: Four major halls, growth
Two years, more than seven hundred days and nights, passed quickly and slowly. For Xuanzhen Temple, it can be said to be relatively stable and nothing major happened.

But in the outside world, it is no exaggeration to say that there is a turbulent situation!
It was only because the concepts and ideas of the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple finally spread among the martial arts sects, causing an uproar.

If you count carefully, it should be four months after the Xuanzhen Temple's "Disciple Recruiting Ceremony" that the first batch of eliminated names was finally released.

Some people were ultimately hopeless, either due to physical problems or because their lazy character made them unsuitable for martial arts training. A total of 103 people were sent back from Xuanzhen Temple, each returning to their own home.

They did go back, but they also brought back the simple standing exercises and martial arts concepts of Xuanzhen Temple.

This content was known by the local martial arts sects, and then they discovered that the philosophy of Xuanzhen Temple was indeed different from the ordinary ones.

Of course, during this period of time, there were more doubts and denials, and people thought that Xuanzhen Temple was just trying to attract attention.

But when wave after wave of people were repatriated, and when these people demonstrated their excellence in Xuanzhen Temple's martial arts, many warriors began to accept it and think more rationally.

As more and more such incidents occur and begin to spread, they naturally have a greater impact.

As a result, almost all warriors in Tianquan County knew about Xuanzhen Temple's "dominant body". It was not a secret technique, but the liberation of the body after the muscles, skin and bones were tempered to a certain degree.

Then, the warriors realized that the four levels of "tendons, flesh, skin and bones" can not only be tempered separately, but it is better to temper them as a whole and make overall progress.

You have to believe that there are capable people in this world, especially the old guys who have studied martial arts for their entire lives. Their sensitivity to martial arts is no less than that of others.

Especially since the ideas spread by Xuanzhen Temple have become a system of their own, naturally, someone will try it.

Of course, some of these people failed, and we can even say that most of them failed.
But if only a small number of people succeed and find new paths, the impact will be even more astonishing.

Because all warriors know that this path actually works.

Then, his pursuit of the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple became more and more intense.

Compared to the risks of trying and experimenting on their own, naturally, what is readily available is more worth pursuing.

As a result, the disciples who were rejected from Xuanzhen Temple became popular in other martial arts sects.

As a result, those hidden players who were sent over went from being unwelcome to being increasingly valued by their superiors.

It's really just money, people and materials, and the only requirement is to study hard, practice hard, and then steal all the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple.

This kind of thing almost reached its peak one year after the "Disciple Recruiting Ceremony", when Xuanzhen Temple no longer eliminated outer disciples.

Especially after the "Nine Styles of Wandering Dragon" of the Tempering Body Realm were almost all leaked, they began to desire the "Five Elements Organ Training Method" required for organ training.

Therefore, Chu Zhou was really not surprised by Feng Qing’s matter. In the past year, this happened almost every once in a while.

Most of the pursuits at Xuanzhen Temple were just a show.

Haven’t you seen Xu Cheng and the others ever take action?

In fact, this kind of stealing was done not only by other martial arts sects, but also by Wenxiang Temple, Husha Pavilion, and Heishan Sect, which were close to Xuanzhen Temple.

There was even news that the Ba Sect was studying the philosophy of Xuanzhen Temple's secret martial arts, and trying to incorporate this philosophy to revise and optimize their martial arts.

In fact, true martial arts sects will only absorb concepts and optimize themselves, rather than accepting them wholesale and losing their distinctive features.

That’s not all. According to rumors, Ba Zong highly approves of these concepts.

Some elders even believe that this is another leap forward after the internal force martial arts and body refining martial arts, and will definitely change the pattern and future of this world.

This evaluation is not just high, it can even be said to be exaggerated.

Of course, it also indirectly proves the excellence of Xuanzhen Temple's secret martial arts.

It is worth mentioning that those who are willing to study and try will naturally want to get ready-made things.

There were many martial arts masters who wanted to visit Xuanzhen Temple at night and take away the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple.

It’s a pity that those who want to do this will never return.

Among them, there are many long-established masters and innate warriors, but when they arrived, they disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.

Only the newly opened flower beds in Xuanzhen Temple and the gorgeous flowers can prove their existence.

However, none of this matters anymore. What matters is that the two years of peace and stability have given Xuanzhen Temple time to develop, grow and adapt.

Two years later, Xuanzhen Temple now has a total of 521 outer disciples.
Well, now it’s five hundred and twenty. The ‘one’, the disciple named ‘Feng Qing’, has been expelled.

Regardless of whether there are other hidden players among them, just looking at the quality, that's really more than 2,600 years of people, who have gone through life and death and finally "rolled" out, each one of them is the best of the best.

Secondly, time can smooth out everything. Two years later, various rules have been established within Xuanzhen Temple, and the division of labor has become clearer.

For example, the second apprentice brother Xu Cheng established a medicinal food hall, which was managed by the Taoist priest Qing Jing, and was responsible for purchasing various medicinal materials, making medicinal food, and taking care of the medicinal fields, etc. The third apprentice brother Yi Huai selected a group of older and more mature disciples to establish the Shangwu Academy, which unified the management of the training, study and cultivation of the outer disciples.

Fourth Junior Brother Fan Tiehu was in charge of the disciplines, and the hall he established was called the 'Law Enforcement Hall', from which he selected disciples who were taciturn but serious and capable.

Responsible for maintaining order within the sect, rewarding and punishing disciples, and detecting hidden agents.

Then there is the fifth junior brother Wei Fangjie. The hall under his command is called "Foreign Affairs Hall". At this stage, it mainly deals with some external affairs, such as welcoming and seeing off guests, receiving incense and believers, etc.

In fact, it just means assisting his father and taking care of the trivial external matters first.

Of course, in Chu Zhou's plan, the Foreign Affairs Hall is actually very important. In the later stage, its main tasks are to distribute sect tasks, count rewards, open permissions and the like.

Generally speaking, the disciples who can enter their four major halls have all passed numerous tests and can be regarded as reserve candidates for inner disciples.

This is already a step further than other outer disciples.

However, Chu Zhou is not ready to open the inner door at this stage, mainly because the cultivation base of the group of people is too low.

As for Fan Zhong, needless to say, as the chief steward of Xuanzhen Temple, he has also been well-trained.
He was in charge of almost all the shops, fields, caravans, and various income and expenditure of Xuanzhen Temple.

Then all the halls, that is, the hall masters, must report to Chu Zhou and be responsible to the sect.

Such a system is simple yet efficient. Once the rules are established, Xuanzhen Temple can be considered truly stable.

Coupled with the continued spread of its external influence, the warriors and people in the two counties under its jurisdiction, Baisha County and Anping County, also behaved very calmly.

Externally, it is manifested in the prosperity and vigorous development of the entire sect.

Chu Zhou actually knew that these two years of peaceful time were really important and precious.

Because he took the time to sort out the various rules and regulations within the sect, to ensure that even if the sect continued to grow, the perfect structure would be able to guarantee the sect's stability.

Of course, he was not idle during these two years.

It took him more than a year to help his four fellow disciples and Taoist Master Qingjing complete the study of the basics of the "Spirit Particle Theory".

It cannot be said that they have mastered it very well. Without the voice of the great truth, some of the contents inside are really too obscure and they find it really difficult to learn.

However, the basic theories of the immortal way have taken root in their minds, and then, based on the "Spirit Verification Method", everyone learned and practiced it.

It is to test the attributes of one's own spiritual roots and to familiarize oneself with the steps of practicing the Breathing Method.

As for their method of drawing Qi into the body, Chu Zhou developed it based on the "Sky River Upside Down Hanging Method" and according to the different attributes of spiritual roots.

It cannot be said to be extremely advanced, but it is still usable within the scope of guiding Qi into the body.

As for the more advanced methods of immortality, Chu Zhou could only say that he would wait and find a way to obtain them from the Jieying Hall.

Among the seven members of the core team, Xu Cheng has the best qualifications. He has mostly water-attributed spiritual roots, and he uses the "Inverted Sky River" method to draw air into the body.

As for the personality aspect, it seems to be more compatible, so the practice is faster, and now he has already cultivated the magic power to the third level of Qi Attraction Realm.

As for the worse ones, they are Fan Zhong and Wei Jinkui. Perhaps they are too old, or perhaps they have too many things to do, so they have only entered the first level of Qi Induction Realm.

As for the others, including the Taoist priest Qingjing, they are all at the second level of the Qi Induction Realm.

Don't think it's nothing great. Take Taoist Qingjing as an example. He knows several secret techniques, and when they are activated with magic power, the power is different.

Now, each of them has chosen a technique and is in the process of becoming familiar with the Dao patterns and increasing their proficiency through repeated practice.

Chu Zhou originally wanted to teach them "Basic Spiritual Pattern Studies", but after trying just one or two classes, he gave up.

To sum up: You can’t be impatient, you really can’t be impatient. When it comes to cultivating immortality, you can’t be impatient!
As for Chu Zhou himself, he has made great progress in the past two years.

Two months ago, he had successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Not only had his magic power increased dramatically, but his spiritual awareness had also made great progress.

As a result, he could use various techniques effortlessly, gaining a new combat power besides martial arts.

Of course, the most commendable thing is that as he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, the cultivation method for the Golden Core Stage in the "Inverted Sky River Method" was completely opened to him in his sea of ​​consciousness.

But this is nothing. The most important thing is that in addition to the cultivation method, there is also a "Tianhe Body Refining Technique".

At this moment, Chu Zhou finally understood why the senior from the Heavenly Book recommended the "Sky River Upside-Down Hanging Method" to him when he saw that Chu Zhou had a foundation in body training!
This is because this true immortal method belongs to the path of 'the fusion of immortality and martial arts'. While practicing the method, it also takes into account the practice of body refining.

　Phew, the updates are getting later and later. I hate it, but I can't get rid of it. It's really...
