Chapter 321: Self-reliance

Seeing that there were few craftsmen who had become a climate to follow Chen Hai in Meilin Zhuxi, Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan were also secretly relieved. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Chen Hai's strength, they are not the first day of teaching, if it is possible, they do not want to be a head-on enemy with Chen Hai, and they are even more anxious that the matter of the workshop will end without a problem in the end.

Although Chen Hai did not set up any formation prohibition in Meilin, but also respected the identity of Chen Hai and Chen Lie at this time, Xie , Chen, Dong, Zhao and others flew to Meilin before they received the magic weapon spirit sword of the flying sky, and walked up the steps along the mountain stream, first saw Chen Lie's adopted son Chen Zhang from a distance, frowning and standing in front of Shixi without knowing what he was thinking, but looking at his face, the mood was by no means pleasant.

Chen Zhang has been a general in the army for many years, even if he withdrew from the army with Chen Lie, he was also used to wearing armor, and turned his head to see Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, Dong Pan, and Zhao Ruhui coming over and coming forward to salute.

Chen Lie's half-step Dan cultivation at this time was higher than that of Xie Quanting and others, but in the sect, he was in the same generation, and Chen Zhang naturally had to perform the junior ceremony, and in the clan, Chen Jue and Xie Quanting were also Chen Zhang's cousins and aunts.

"Can Chen Hai and your father be in Merlin?" Xie Quanting asked.

"As soon as my father entered Qintong Mountain, Chen Hai waited in front of Qintong Pass, and the two entered the mountains, saying that they met in Juquanling, but five days had passed. Chen Zhang said depressedly.

Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan looked at each other.

Last night, Chen Lie's chariot entered Zhaoyang Village under the support of Sun Gan, Zhou Jun, Chen Zhang and others, and they thought that Chen Lie was in the chariot, but they did not expect that when Chen Lie entered Qintong Mountain, Chen Hai rushed to Qintong Pass to greet him, and the two disappeared together in the mountains and mountains of Qintong Mountains, and they did not hear from each other for five days.

What is Chen Hai's idea?

Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan were deeply worried in their hearts, and they all thought in their hearts, if Chen Lie decided to stay in Juquanling and never return to Taiwei Mountain, what would they do?

In the past, they would not have this kind of worry, but if Chen Hai intervenes in anything, they dare to predict how it will develop in the future.

If he didn't want to persuade Chen Lie to stay in Juquanling, it would be necessary for Chen Hai to rush to Qintong Pass to greet Chen Lie?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan couldn't wait to turn around and leave at this moment, and go back to Baishiling to discuss countermeasures.

"Miss Jue, Brother Quan Ting, Dong Ye, Elder Zhao, you are here. At this moment, Sun Gan and Su Yuan walked out of it and shouted Chen Jue, Xie Quanting and others who wanted to turn around and leave.

Seeing Sun Gan, Su Yuan and others coming out of the plum forest, the corners of Chen Zhang's eyes twitched slightly.

Sun Gan and Su Yuan have always been Chen Lie's right-hand men, and after taking the Nine Turns Golden Liquid Pill one after another, they also opened up the sea of knowledge and stepped into the realm of enlightenment, and they deservedly can be said to be the backbone of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion.

This may be the place that makes Chen Zhang the most dissatisfied and even jealous, he has stepped into the late stage of the Spirit Restoration Realm for several years but has been struggling to break through one step further, and now he is watching Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Su Yuan, Sun Gan, Ge Tong, Qi Hanjiang, all open up the ancestral knowledge of the sea one after another, making him, the young marquis, the status of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion dispensable.

Zhou Jun and Wu Meng stepped into the realm of soul repelling with their talents and penance, and Chen Zhang couldn't resent anything, but Su Yuan, Sun Gan, Ge Tong and Kou Nu were born in Qi Hanjiang, and Han Wendang, a horse thief who took refuge in Chen Hai in the Jinzhou Desert, their qualifications were mediocre, and they were all rewarded by Chen Hai with the Nine Turns of Golden Liquid Pill before they were able to successfully break through, how could this make Chen Zhang's heart calm?

Although he had no intention of competing with Chen Hai for the position of son-in-law at this time, in the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, when did he become inferior to Qi Hanjiang and Han Wen as cheap slaves?

The more he thought about it, the more jealousy gnawed at his heart like a worm, but he had no way to express his dissatisfaction, even if the situation was confused by Chen Hai, he couldn't openly express any dissatisfaction.

His father wanted to go back to Taiwei Mountain to "cultivate", and Huwei Camp would stay in Juquanling to accept Chen Hai's control, Chen Zhang was unwilling to stay in Juquanling, if he couldn't go back to Taiwei Mountain to live a life under surveillance, the places he could choose to go were actually very limited.

Zhou Jun also came out of the plum forest at this time and saluted Zhao Ruhui.

Although Zhou Jun and Zhao Ruhui do not have the status of master and apprentice, he has already worshiped Chen Lie's disciple now, but in his mind, Zhao Ruhui has always been his enlightenment teacher.

When things have developed to this point, no one wants to, but no one can keep up with Chen Hai's rhythm.

It was impossible for Chen Hai to say what he really thought in his heart at this time, but he needed to give a clear goal to gather the hearts of the people of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion, so as not to make everyone feel at a loss without a clear goal in such a complicated situation.

Chen Hai set up a craftsman association in Juquanling, and in the eyes of the outside world, he thought of breaking away from Hexi and establishing his own door, and Chen Hai was no longer hiding his willingness to "stand on his own" in the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion.

The outside world may subconsciously feel that Chen Hai is too arrogant and too self-conscious to have such ambitions, but if you really have to calm down and think about it seriously, even if the strength of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion is still some distance away from a top world valve like the Dong family, but after breaking away from Hexi, it can barely be regarded as a second-rate sect valve.

If Chen Hai could use the workshop to gather a group of craftsmen, the actual power he would have would be even stronger.

What's more, Juquanling and Hexi are separated from Tianshui County, even if Chen Hai sets up his own portal in Juquanling, Hexi only deploys a small number of elites in Baishiling, and there is no way to force Chen Hai to bow his head in a short time, is it possible to fight the taboo and send assassins to eliminate Chen Hai from his body?

Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible for Chen Hai to break away from Hexi and set up his own gateway in Juquanling. If it weren't for this, Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan would not be so worried.

And inside the Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion, Sun Gan and Zhou Jun have been in the army with Chen Lie for several years, knowing how powerful Hexi's heritage is, and Su Yuan, who is cautious by nature, don't want to tear their faces with Hexi, but when it comes to Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang, Zhou Jingyuan, Ge Tong, Shen Kun, Ding Fan, Han Wendang, Han Jian, and even Zhao Shan, Qian Wenyi and others, they don't have any feelings for Hexi, as long as the time is right, they all wish to have the opportunity to stand on their own.

Zhou Jun's heart is very complicated.

On the one hand, Zhou Jun didn't want Chen Hai to take the risk of setting up his own door so early, and on the other hand, he knew that Chen Hai was a maverick, and every time he had amazing words and deeds, he might not be understood by others at first, but in the end, it all showed that Chen Hai had a foresight in his heart.

Although Zhou Jun has been in the army with Chen Lie in the past few years, he has always fought side by side with Chen Hai in his early years, and he also knows that without Chen Hai, he will never have his growth today, at this time he also wants to stay in Juquanling and assist Chen Li to stand on his own, but seeing the sad face of his enlightenment teacher Zhao Ruhui, he hesitated again, thinking that maybe he would follow his master Chen Lie back to Taiwei Mountain to retreat and cultivate, regardless of the entanglement of grievances and hatreds in the outside world is the best choice.

********************

Chen Hai and Chen Lie were in the mountains of the Qintong Mountains, and they didn't know when they would return, but Xie Quanting and Sun Gan and Su Yuan had known each other for half a lifetime, and they couldn't turn around and leave, so they could only walk to the plum forest.

Meilinli is Chen Hai's residence in the middle peak of Juquanling, and I saw that a large hall with a length of thirty or forty meters and a width of thirty or forty meters was made of bamboo. Xie Quanting didn't feel that the main hall was not made of bamboo, especially the purple bamboo under his feet faintly revealed the luster of metal, knowing that this kind of purple bamboo was a golden thunder bamboo that only grew in the deep mountains at the southern foot of Qintong Mountain.

On the outside, this kind of golden thunder purple bamboo is not cheaper than quenched iron of the same weight.

Zhou Jingyuan and others were willing to use the golden thunder bamboo to build a bamboo hall for Chen Hai, which shows that in the past few years, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion has secretly absorbed much wealth by transporting quenched iron materials, divine chariots, divine crossbows and quenched gold arrows.

It's no wonder that this shaft is so arrogant that he wants to set up his own portal.

Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan walked into the Bamboo Hall with Sun Gan, Su Yuan, and Zhou Jun, only to find that although Chen Hai and Chen Lie were not in Juquanling, the Bamboo Hall was not deserted.

It is rumored that Chen Hai spread the news that he was going to set up a workshop in Zhongfeng Meilin, and this bamboo hall was the place where he discussed techniques with senior craftsmen, and the low-level craftsmen gathered in the bamboo house outside Meilin could observe the discussion every once in a while, but they usually mainly accepted the guidance of Chen Hai and many senior craftsmen.

Xie Quanting and Dong Pan came over, thinking that those famous craftsmen, whether they were in the sect or not, would not be easily bewitched by Chen Hai, but when they walked into the bamboo hall, they found that they were too optimistic.

Zhang Xiong, Ji Yuanren, and Xue Cun saw Su Yuan and Sun Gan leading people in, stopped discussing, and bowed to this side.

After Zhang Xiong and his clansmen moved into Juquanling, he himself walked in the mountains and wilderness, and he had never been in contact with outsiders, but he had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Dao Dan realm, and even if Xie Quanting and Dong Pan had not seen him, they could recognize him at first sight.

The outside world speculated that the surrender of Zhang Xiong, the rebel king of Qianghu, may be the key factor in the sudden expansion of Chen Hai's ambitions, so seeing Zhang Xiong sitting in a corner of the bamboo hall, Xie Quanting and Dong Pan would not be surprised, but Ji Yuanren and Xue Cun were also here, and seeing that they were dressed casually, it seemed that they had been living in Meilin for a while, and Xie Quanting and Dong Pan were really shocked.

Ji Yuanren and Xue Cun's cultivation are only in the middle of the Ming Realm, but they were previously the master craftsmen under the Prison Ink Division, they are from the children of the Han Sect, even if they are talented, but it is difficult for cultivation and benevolence to make great progress, and even before Chen Hai joined the general as a prisoner, they can only hold low-level official positions such as the general as a young craftsman, but they have been immersed in the puppet technique for most of their lives, and their attainments in refining weapons and puppet techniques are by no means under the grandmaster-level refining techniques of those sects.

The addition of Ji Yuanren and Xue Cun means that Chen Hai has made actual progress in establishing the workshop, which means that it is no longer impossible for Chen Hai to gather the power of craftsmen and masters with the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion as the core and the workshop to set up his own door.

Seeing this scene, Xie Quanting, Dong Pan, and Chen Jue were worried, sat down to drink tea with Su Yuan and Sun Gan to catch up with the old days, and thought about saying goodbye and returning to Baishiling, so as to return the latest developments of Juquanling to Hexi.

However, just as Xie Quanting signaled Zhao Ruhui to say goodbye and leave with his eyes, Zhao Ruhui tidied up his clothes, sat up straight, and bowed to Dong Pan, Xie Quanting, and Chen Jue and said: "Ruhui is nearly 100 years old, and his body will rot, if you want to say that there are any regrets in this life, it is that there are many doubts in the puppet technique. I won't go back to Baishiling, maybe this plum forest bamboo hut is where I hide my remains......"

Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan were like thunderbolts at this moment, and they never imagined that Zhao Ruhui, who was about to enter the ground, was the first person he openly turned his back on the sect and joined the practice society advocated by Chen Hai......
