After ten days of traveling north, Changshan came to a county town called Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng is very small, and it controls the cultivation power of Xiangcheng, and it is not in Xiangcheng, but on a hill called Xiangshan in the west of Xiangcheng.

Back then, when Chang Shan passed through Xiangcheng, he saw a cultivator who was cultivating in the Red Dan Period. Chang Shan saw that this cultivator had an earth-attribute physique, so he casually asked Xiao Er in the restaurant about the origin of this Red Dan Stage cultivator. From this, he knew that in the hill west of the city, which didn't look special, there was a cultivation sect.

The sect on the Elephant Mountain is called the Dragon Elephant Sect.

Chang Shan had no intention of condensing the Dao pattern back then, so he didn't visit the Dragon Elephant Sect. Chang Shan didn't know if there was a star array in the Dragon Elephant Sect that cultivated the power of Xuanwu, but in his guess, if the Dragon Elephant Sect was a sect dominated by earth attribute cultivators, there was a ninety percent chance that there would be a star array in the sect that cultivated the power of Xuanwu.

After going around in the Elephant City and having a meal, Chang Shan walked to the Elephant Mountain.

Elephant Mountain is not big, and Chang Shan easily found the mountain gate of the Dragon Elephant Sect in a mountain col.

Like the Earth Spirit Sect, the reason why the Dragon Elephant Sect was built in the mountain was because there was a low-grade snake spirit vein under this col of the Dragon Elephant Mountain.

Judging from the scale of the Dragon Elephant Sect, the strength of the Dragon Elephant Sect should be about the same as that of the Earth Spirit Sect.

Although the power of the Dragon Elephant Sect is average, Chang Shan has a request for help, and he still came to the main gate of the Dragon Elephant Sect with courtesy.

Chang Shan waited at the gate of the Dragon Elephant Sect for a while, and a middle-aged man who cultivated in the middle of the Orange Pill came to the door with two young people who cultivated in the early stage of the Red Pill.

Seeing Chang Shan, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, he walked a few steps quickly, came to Chang Shan, and arched his hand at Chang Shan: "The sect master of the Dragon Elephant Sect sincerely greets the seniors!"

"Sect Master Yan is so polite!"

Chang Shan returned the salute with a smile, said his name to Yan Cheng, and walked into the Dragon Elephant Sect with Yan Cheng.

Passing through a large square and passing through a row of houses, Chang Shan followed Yan Cheng to the martial arts arena of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

At this time, on the martial arts arena of the Dragon Elephant Sect, there were one hundred and twenty or thirty disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect practicing martial arts. These disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect, like the common sects, more than ninety percent are male disciples.

"The Dragon Elephant Sect's master cultivates the stick method, it's really a coincidence!"

Seeing Chang Shan stop to watch his disciples practice martial arts, Yan Cheng smiled and said: "The strength of the Dragon Elephant Sect is weak, and there are no secret books of magic skills in the sect, so I'm afraid that their martial arts skills will be difficult to enter the eyes of their predecessors!"

Chang Shan shook his head and said with a smile: "They have a deep foundation, and they will definitely be able to become atmospheric in the future, Sect Master Yan is too modest!"

Laughing, a few people walked through the martial arts arena, crossed a large pond, and came to the Tianyi Hall where the Dragon Elephant Sect entertained guests.

Tianyi Hall is not big, no more than three zhang long, less than two zhang wide, but the furnishings are extremely elegant. There are no jade decorations in the hall, but there are many flower pots. The flowers in the pot are the flowers of the mountains, and they are carefully placed to show their beauty.

Entering the hall, Chang Shan and Yan Cheng were polite, and the guests sat down.

After chatting for a while, Chang Shan explained his intentions.

Yan Cheng was not surprised by Chang Shan's request, pondered for a moment, and replied: "There is indeed a star array in the Dragon Elephant Sect that cultivates the power of Xuanwu, but now that the junior disciples are cultivating in the star array, in a short period of time, I am afraid that the star array will not be able to be vacated by the seniors." ”

Chang Shan nodded and said with a smile: "The star array is owned by your sect, how can Chang Mou let the people of your sect give Chang Mouteng?"

After a slight pause, Chang Shan took out a storage bag and put it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "After that Taoist friend of your sect is out of the customs, the sect master will let Chang Mou cultivate in that star array for a year, and these two thousand spirit stones will be your sect's." ”

Yan Cheng looked at the storage bag on the table, his eyes flashed, he took the storage bag, and arched his hand to Chang Shan: "The predecessors will wait for a month and a half!"

"Hmm!"

Chang Shan nodded, and chatted with Yan Cheng about the way of cultivation again.

Yan Cheng saw that Chang Shan was easier to speak, so he discussed the way of cultivation with Chang Shan.

Chang Shan has cultivated for more than two hundred years, and compared to Yan Cheng, he is definitely a grandmaster-level figure. However, he had never instructed others in cultivation, and he didn't know how to answer some of the questions raised by Yan Cheng for a while. After thinking about the questions raised by Yan Cheng, he also had a deeper understanding of the path of cultivation.

Unconsciously, the two chatted for nearly an hour and a half. By the time the two of them noticed the time, it was already completely dark outside.

Glancing out of the door, Yan Cheng smiled and said, "It's really a sin to only care about asking for advice from seniors and forgetting the time." ”

After saying this, Yan Cheng got up and bowed to Chang Shan, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

"It's not more polite! chatting with the sect master, Chang also gained a lot!"

Chang Shan got up and returned the salute, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Chang also uses a stick as a weapon." During the day, when the disciples of your sect practiced the stick method, could Chang Mou watch from the sidelines. ”

"The seniors also practiced the stick method? It's really fate! The disciples of the Contempt Sect, it is an honor for the Contempt Sect to be guided by the seniors. ”

The two laughed a few words, ate a little something, and then Yancheng took Chang Shan to the guest room.

One night, in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the sky dawned, Yan Cheng came to Changshan Gate.

After drinking morning tea, Chang Shan and Yan Cheng came to the martial arts arena.

Yan Cheng had the heart to ask Chang Shan to instruct the disciples in the sect on martial arts, so the disciples of the Hongdan period who usually no longer practiced martial arts on the martial arts field also came to the martial arts arena.

With Yan Cheng's order, one hundred and forty-two people practiced the stick method at the same time.

The stick method of the Dragon Elephant Sect is called "Dragon Elephant Stick", which is a stick method similar to "Thousand Army Sticks", and the gravity is not heavy.

After a stick of incense, when the disciples rehearsed the "Dragon Elephant Stick", Yan Cheng arched his hand to Chang Shan and said, "Please give me advice!"

With Chang Shan's attainments in the stick method, he only watched it once, and he could find out the problem of "Dragon Elephant Stick", but he was calm and didn't want to directly point out the problem of "Dragon Elephant Stick", so he pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile to Yan Cheng: "Chang has a stick method that is very similar to your sect's "Dragon Elephant Stick", don't you want to see it?"

"Senior, please!"

Yan Cheng bowed to Chang Shan again, and then ordered the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect to retreat to the side of the martial arts arena.

Chang Shan smiled at Yan Cheng, his body moved, and he came to the center of the martial arts arena, summoned the mixed yuan stick, and used the "Thousand Army Sticks" out.

"A Thousand Army Sticks" is a little more murderous than "Dragon Elephant Stick", Chang Shan has now completely grasped the essence of "A Thousand Army Sticks", and when he used "A Thousand Army Sticks", he naturally had a murderous aura.

Those disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect who did not form the Yuan Dan could not feel the murderous aura of the stick method, but the disciples who formed the Yuan Dan could feel it.

All the disciples who formed the Yuan Dan, including Yan Cheng, felt the murderous aura on Chang Shan's body, and their faces changed slightly.

For a small force like the Dragon Elephant Sect, the visit of cultivators who are enough to destroy the entire sect is both an opportunity and a crisis.

Compared with the ethereal opportunity, almost all the small forces were more worried about the crisis, so when they saw Chang Shan use a murderous stick method, their faces changed slightly.

Chang Shan noticed that Yan Cheng's face changed slightly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, after using the entire set of "Thousand Army Sticks", he integrated some of the dexterity of the "Spirit Snake Stick Method" and "Cloud Turning Stick Method" into "Thousand Army Sticks", and used a set of stick methods that were very similar to "Thousand Army Sticks", but more mysterious.

After finishing the changed "Thousand Army Sticks", Chang Shan accepted the mixed yuan stick and walked slowly to Yan Cheng's side.

"The seniors' martial arts skills are amazing, and the juniors admire!"

"It's over!"

Chang Shan had the heart to point out Yan Cheng, and after replying, he asked Yan Cheng: "What does the sect master think is the difference between the two sets of stick methods before and after Chang Mou?"

Yan Cheng pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "The set of stick techniques that the predecessors made later are more important?"

Seeing Chang Shan nodding, Yan Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he asked: "What does the predecessor mean that "Dragon Elephant Stick" has more tricks to win by skill?"

Chang Shan pondered for a while and replied: "The difference between martial arts and brute force is that martial arts are more ingenious, and they can exert strength, speed, and skill to the point that ordinary people can't use them. The power in martial arts can also be regarded as a coincidence. It is true that one force can break ten thousand methods, but it is difficult to increase the power of a thousand catties by another hundred catties, and it is easy to turn over from one week in the air to two weeks in the air. Moreover, after two weeks of inversion in the air, it is also good for the increase in force. Therefore, in Chang's view, when the force cannot go further, it is better to seek skill. ”

After a slight pause, Chang Shan looked at Yan Cheng who was contemplating, and said, "Chang Mou's words are just a family's words, and they may not be completely correct. ”

Yan Cheng nodded, did not answer, first ordered the disciples to continue to practice the stick method, and then stared at the figures of the disciples and pondered.

Although Chang Shan had a murderous aura on his body when he exhibited "A Thousand Army Sticks", Yan Cheng could feel that Chang Shan had no ill will towards the Dragon Elephant Sect, but had the heart to guide him, so every day, he invited Chang Shan to watch the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect practice sticks.

Chang Shan had nothing to do left and right, watching the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect practice martial arts, and he would think of the days when he practiced martial arts in the Earth Spirit Sect without worries more than two hundred years ago, and he didn't feel bored watching the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect practice martial arts every day.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

On this day, around the beginning of noon, eight people appeared on the side of the martial arts arena carrying four boxes, and walked inside from the side of the martial arts arena.

Seeing that Chang Shan turned his gaze, Yan Cheng smiled and said: "Most of the industries in the Elephant City belong to the Dragon Elephant Sect, and every three months, the person in charge of the Elephant City will send the income of these three months back to the sect. Among these gains, in addition to some gold, silver and silk, there are also some minerals and spiritual grasses, do you want to take a look at them?"

"Is it convenient?"

"Of course it's convenient! The seniors are the distinguished guests of the Dragon Elephant Sect, if the seniors see something interesting, the juniors will give it to the seniors, and it should be a thank you gift from the juniors to the seniors in order to thank the seniors for their guidance during this time. ”

After saying this, Yan Cheng asked the eight disciples to stop.

Chang Shan saw Yan Cheng's invitation, so he followed Yan Cheng over.

The two walked to the four boxes, and Yan Cheng opened the four boxes himself.

Of the four chests, one was filled with gold and silver, one was filled with good quality silk, one was filled with jade boxes, and one was filled with minerals.

At the top of the box containing the minerals were several items that were clearly from some vintage.
