At this time, the Zhongfeng Cliff Valley had become the most important place for craftsmen to practice, opening up a road and connecting with the apprentice hall area at the western foothills, and Zhou Jingyuan rebuilt a cave for Chen Hai on the north cliff facing Juquan Lake.

Under the guidance of the welcoming deacon, Dong Pan flew directly to the courtyard of the North Cliff to see Chen Hai, and saw Zhou Jingyuan commanding several people in front of the North Cliff to carry a stele engraved with the words "Tianji Cliff" to the front of the mountaineering road.

"Dong Jun's envoy is here......" Seeing Dong Pan coming, Zhou Jingyuan politely said.

"You're welcome!" Dong Pan suspected in his heart that Chen Hai's invitation this time was very likely to be through the official announcement of the Taiwei Sect's self-reliance, and he was apprehensive, but he also gave Zhou Jingyuan a gift back.

Juquan Ling is more than ten miles long from north to south, the north cliff is only more than 100 meters high, can not be regarded as one of the main peaks, but it is on the verge of Juquan Ridge and rises up, the situation of the peak and cliff is strangely beautiful, the trees and stones are beautiful, and the aura of the two spiritual springs is converging, but it is a good place for self-cultivation.

There is no big palace room on the north cliff, except for a few secret rooms directly opened up from the inside of the cliff, and in the depths of the woods of more than ten acres on the top of the cliff, two fine houses have been built under a few towering ancient trees, as Chen Hai's daily living place, it looks very simple and unpretentious.

Zhou Jingyuan personally took Dong Pan to the north cliff, walked into the fine house under the ancient tree, and met Chen Hai and Zhao Ruhui.

With the increasing improvement of cultivation, Chen Hai's rough and even somewhat rude appearance in the past has also undergone great improvement, with a tall figure, thin cheeks, and a calm and clear temperament, as if the calm Juquanling is laid out in front of others.

Dong Pan's cultivation was obviously higher than Chen Hai's, but when he wanted to observe Chen Hai from a deeper level with his divine sense, Chen Hai's body revealed an aura of fierce thunder like wind and clouds, which made Dong Pan's divine sense feel torn.

This kind of powerful oppressive force at the level of the divine soul can only be said that Chen Hai's realm of comprehension of the true meaning of the Tao is still above Dong Pan.

Five years ago, when Chen Hai won the first place in the Northwest Domain Academy, it was revealed that he had mastered the true meaning of a variety of Daos, and it was not surprising that Dong Pan could feel this spiritual oppression from him when Chen Hai stepped into the Enlightenment Realm.

Dong Pan also knew in his heart that sooner or later, Chen Hai would be able to cultivate the Dao Dan and step into the Dao Dan realm.

It is precisely like this, in his opinion, even if Chen Hai has the ambition to stand on his own, he should wait until he steps into the Dao Dan realm, and exposing such ambitions too early at this time shows that Chen Hai is too arrogant, and at the same time, it also shows that Chen Hai is not smart enough.

Dong Pan still admired Chen Hai very much in the past, but after having such an idea, his previous appreciation turned into disgust, not to mention that Chen Hai poked out such a basket, which really made him in a dilemma.

"Dong Ye is here...... Chen Hai has no way to make everyone like him, and he doesn't expect everyone to like him, he likes others who don't like it, but he feels helpless, and beckons the wary Dong Pan to sit down in the house.

Although Chen Hai has long been free from cold and heat, in the cold winter season when Juquan Lake is frozen, he is still used to boiling tea on the charcoal stove in the house, and at this time he also proposed a boiling iron kettle, made a cup of tea, and the fragrance of tea overflowed in the room and handed it to Dong Fan.

"Dong Ye also saw that the mountain gate had changed the number of cards, and everyone thought that the workshop would have an official name, which would be convenient to call, and it would also save the newspapers and books of each family to call the workshop with 'Chen Hai's house, this madman's, which is very inconvenient and sounds awkward," Chen Hai asked Dong Pan with a smile, "Dong Ye, what do you think of the name of the Tianji Workshop?"

Dong Pan was cold in his heart, and his face was also indifferent, and he said: "As long as the young marquis is happy, everything is fine, how dare Dong Pan have any opinions?"

"I think so too, what to do and be happy is the most important thing," Chen Hai laughed self-deprecatingly, but thinking that no one in Jinyan Zhuzhou knew about this stalk of Hong Kong dramas, and there would be no resonance when he said it, Dong Pan probably thought that he was sneering in his heart, and took a sip of tea before asking again, "But I don't know if the sect will like it?"

"Whether the sect will like it or not, Dong Pan doesn't dare to speculate. Dong Pan said.

"Then how can I make the sect like it?" Chen Hai leaned forward, as if discussing this issue with Dong Pan very seriously.

Dong Pan's expression was grim, and the meaning behind Chen Hai's words was undoubtedly to ask what the conditions for the Taiwei Sect to acquiesce to the self-reliance portal here.

"This, Dong Pan can't say well. Dong Pan said that this is indeed not something he can decide.

"I led the troops into Qintong Mountain, compiled the first volume of the military training record, dedicated to the sect, the sect can like it? I settled in Juquanling to be killed, cultivated in the wilderness, fished and hunted mines, the sect can get millions of catties of quenched gold iron from Juquanling every year today, can I like it? I make the heavenly machine chariot, the heavenly machine crossbow, Hexi at this time to organize the car crossbow battalion, for the head of the Hexi army camp, the sect can like it? I settle down in Pinglu, for Hexi to solve the danger in the west, within a hundred years, there will be a move to invade the east of the demon temple, and in Lucheng every year for Hexi to lose two million catties of high-quality quenched iron, the sect likes? Chen Hai stared at Dong Pan fiercely, he was tired of the insatiable greed of the Dong clan and some people in the Taiwei Sect at this time.

Dong Pan climbed the north cliff, full of resentment and worry, but listening to Chen Hai's series of sharp questions, he was like sitting on pins and needles, and sweat was oozing out of his forehead.

Dong Pan, like everyone in the past, felt that many of the interests of Juquanling and Lucheng should belong to the Taiwei Sect, and there should never be any leakage to other sects, not to mention the Demon God Temple, which has a deep grudge against the Taiwei Sect, and because of this, many people have a deep grudge against Chen Hai, but from another point of view, which disciple of the Taiwei Sect has made a greater contribution than Chen Hai over the years?

Dong Pan doubted at this moment whether he could really stand up to his resentment, and whether they were really qualified to be so resentful of Chen Hai?

Chen Hai saw the shame in Dong Pan's eyes, thinking that Dong Pan had been training outside all these years, and probably had already known the size of the world, and not everything revolved around the Dong family, and there was some shame in his heart, but he didn't think that he could get the understanding of all the Dong family's disciples.

If the truth can be explained, there will not be so much trouble in the world, Chen Hai took out a set of picture scrolls from the storage ring, handed it to Dong Pan, and said:

"There are still many imperfections in this picture scroll, and I don't know if the sect will like it, but in the future, the Tianji Academy Palace will no longer care whether the sect likes it or not. If you like it, the secret map and weapons here can be obtained by the sect at a price, and if you don't like it, we won't try to please the sect anymore?"

Dong Pan was shocked and suspicious, looking at the seal on the scroll, he also knew that this was the condition for Chen Hai to ask Taiwei Sect to recognize the Tianji Academy.

However, whether or not to recognize the existence of the Tianji Academy Palace was not for him to decide, and he naturally couldn't open this forbidden seal in front of Chen Hai at this time to see the true content of the scroll.

At this time, Dong Pan had already vented his grievances before climbing the North Cliff, thinking about what Chen Hai said, if Hexi could still buy secret maps and weapons from Juquanling in the future, it might be a good choice, and returned the salute, saying: "I will go back to Taiwei City and hand over the scroll to the prince......" and bowed to Zhao Ruhui again, and then stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing that Dong Pan was no longer the indifferent and rejecting appearance he had just now, Chen Hai's heart felt slightly better.

He stepped into this other world with the Dragon Emperor Cangyu, and there are really not many old people who can appreciate a little bit in Yanzhou and get along well, and he can't turn his face or try not to turn his face, he and Zhao Ruhui stood up and sent Dong Pan away.

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

Although Dong Pan would not open the seal without authorization to see the contents of the scroll, he also knew that it was not trivial.

Back in Baishiling, he told Xie Quanting and Chen Jue that Chen Hai would set up the Tianji Academy Palace in Juquanling, and in order to prevent accidents on the way, he escorted the picture scroll back to Taiwei Mountain with Xie Quanting and Chen Jue.

The prince Dong Chou was in Yulong Mountain at this time, Dong Pan, Xie Quanting, and Chen Jue rushed to Taiwei Mountain, and rushed to Yulong Mountain non-stop, and saw the prince Dong Chou in the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy.

After Dong Shou and Chen Lie led their troops into Heyang, Lichuan and other counties to fight against the Liumin Army, the Yulong camp was temporarily led by the deputy envoy Chai Teng, Dong Pan and they rushed to Huanglongyuan, and saw that in addition to Chen Zhiyi, there were also Dong Pu and other important generals of the Hexi Army, all gathered in Huanglongyuan.

On the surface, after Dong Shou and Chen Lie led their troops eastward, the Yulong Battalion was weakened into the weakest soldier and horse of the Hexi Army's major battalions, and the threat to the Hechuan Army in the south was also greatly weakened, but Dong Pan and other people who knew the secrets knew in their hearts that in the past two or three years, the Hexi Army had not expanded its soldiers and horses on a large scale, but concentrated all the financial resources and materials that could be squeezed out on the construction of the Daoya Soldier Crossbow Battalion, the War Poultry Battalion, and the Jiama Battalion.

The soldiers and horses of the battalions of the Hexi Army were close to one million at their peak, and when the threat from Qianghu and the demon barbarians in the west and north wings weakened, the number of soldiers and horses would be reduced, but it would not be less than 600,000.

However, although the Hexi Army is strong, the real elite of the Hexi Army is still the Taoist soldiers directly controlled by the Metropolitan Protector General's Mansion.

From the period of Dong Liang, the Marquis of Wuwei, to the reign of Dong Chou, the prince of Hexi, the soldiers of Hexi Province have always been stable between 30,000 and 40,000.

In the old days, the Taoist soldiers were mainly armored cavalry, although there were also archers and cavalry and a small number of chariots and war birds, but at this time, the official new car crossbow battalion and war bird battalion were mainly Shenji crossbows (Tianji crossbows) Such powerful bows and weapons could be put into use on a large scale.

This time, the prince Dong Chou inspected Yulong Mountain, and there were only more than 5,000 guards and horses, but after Dong Pan arrived at Huanglongyuan, he saw that Dong Chou, the son of Hu Wei, inspected Yulong Mountain with 5,000 soldiers, which were the elite of the newly formed crossbow battalion, war bird battalion, and horse battalion, and then saw that Dong Pu and other important generals had secretly gathered over, and they also knew in their hearts that after the last victory in Yulong Mountain, five years after the last victory in Yulong Mountain, Hexi was going to attack the Hexiang army again.

It's just that this time it's not clear whether the goal of the prince Dong Chou is to occupy the Hechuan Ridge in the south, or to completely occupy the territory of the Hexiang Metropolitan Protectorate.
