Chu Zheng nodded and said: "Of course, I know a few people who are successful in foundation building and have advanced to the second level of their profession.

However, none of them have anything to do with me. I heard that some of the established forces in the valley have a close relationship with them, and even many professionals in the valley have been mentored by them.

To be honest, this can be considered a master-disciple relationship.

Do you want to connect with them through these connections?"

Having said this, he glanced at Meng Zhou, shook his head and said, "A casual cultivator who has reached such a high level will not be bound by such an old friendship."

In fact, what he said was rather euphemistic. Those who have reached a certain height have a "ruthless" side in their hearts.

In order for the road to go smoothly, when they feel that everything in the past has become a fetter, they will not hesitate to cut off those past with their swords so that they can move forward lightly.

The "Brother Zhou" in front of me is a vivid example.

Meng Zhou said softly: "But what if we invite them to formally join the association and become Hua Shi members?"

Chu Zheng was surprised and said: "It's not appropriate for them to become Hua Shi members..."

Chu Zheng originally wanted to say that it would be inappropriate to invite foundation-building monks and second-level professionals to sit on equal terms with them.

But as he spoke, his voice became quieter, and finally, he simply shut up and stopped talking.

Now, he finally understands what Meng Zhou said at the beginning: "The existence of the association depends on the choice of you, the people in power."

To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. The association model itself, its potential and vitality, and its attractiveness to other professionals are unquestionable.

But the most critical problem now is that the strength of these first batch of heads is too low, and their small arms and legs cannot carry them.

They now have two choices. One is to drag the newly born Professionals Association with them and sink together under the torrent of the general trend.

Then there is the collective handover, looking for a group of stronger successors who can take the association further, so that they can carry the association forward and move towards a more glorious future!

By doing this, people like them will certainly lose a lot, but they will also gain a lot.

Seeing that Chu Zheng fell silent and fully understood his thoughts, Meng Zhou also chose to keep quiet.

After a long time, Chu Zheng let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Brother, I have actually been convinced by you. However, this matter is too closely related and cannot be decided by me alone."

Meng Zhou nodded to express his understanding and did not continue to comment on this issue.

"It's you, brother, what do you think?" Chu Zheng asked directly.

Chu Zheng asked straightforwardly, and Meng Zhou also answered directly:

"Didn't my brother give me a membership membership? I want to keep this qualification!"

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this and said:

"This...is what's the use of my consent?

If this thing really works as you said, all members of the association will be foundation-building monks and seniors of the second level of the profession in the future.

Even if I agree to put you on a par with them, they won't be able to agree to it!"

Meng Zhou shook his head and said: "Brother, don't worry, there will naturally be people who are qualified to be on par with them.

No matter in terms of cultivation or professional level, you will not be worse than them!"

When Chu Zheng heard this, he was puzzled at first, and then looked at Meng Zhou in shock: "You...are you going to break through the foundation?"

Meng Zhou shook his head: "It's not me. This is a gift I prepared for my master."

"Master? Brother, you still have a master, why have I never heard of you mentioning it?"

Today, Chu Zheng's mood has not calmed down. In his impression, this brother Zhou has always been a casual cultivator. He has been with Nuanyun Valley for so long, and he has never heard him say that there is a sect behind him.

A smile appeared on Meng Zhou's face and he explained: "This is what happened after I left Nuanyun Valley. It's normal for you not to know."

"You just joined?" Chu Zheng said softly, with some doubts on his face.

According to his understanding, serious forces train their children from scratch.

The first step is to cultivate their character, knowledge, and friendship with the forces they belong to. This is even more important than teaching the method of practice itself.

To be able to absorb the power of a casual cultivator who is over fifty years old, no matter how you think about it, you feel that it is not a serious approach.

With doubts in his heart, Chu Zheng asked directly: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, brother, what is the name of the sect you joined?"

"Qihuang Gate." Meng Zhou said.

Hearing this name, Chu Zheng's doubts were not eliminated, but became more doubtful.

Because he has never heard of this name.

"Please forgive my ignorance, brother. What kind of force is this Qihuang Sect? Why have I never heard of it?

It stands to reason that if there are foundation-building monks sitting in charge and there are second-level professional forces, they will be somewhat famous in Qingxuan Territory, right?"

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Then let me tell you."

At this moment, Meng Zhou, whose thoughts were racing at high speed, had already weaved a rough outline of the fictitious "Qihuang Gate" in his mind.

There is no doubt that this Qihuang Gate was fabricated by him.

This was the fundamental reason why he asked Yu Peng to call his teacher over.

As for the suggestions for professional associations to "actively enter the game" and "update", they are all serving this ultimate goal.

The reason why he did this was because he was full and had nothing to do.

But it has to be done!

According to Meng Zhou's idea, if he could just find a place to grow up safely and quietly, then why go through all the trouble.

Just keep practicing and keep getting stronger.

But as he became more and more familiar with the practice environment, Meng Zhou discovered that this was not an easy task.

During the Qi training stage, this is easy to do.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to look for trouble, trouble will basically not come to him.

Even if you change places and take on a new identity from time to time, you won't attract any strange looks.

Because in the Qingxuan Territory, the number of Qi practicing monks is large enough, the number of Qi practicing casual cultivators is also very large, and the growth of Qi practicing monks is simpler.

If a person from the mortal world has good talent and good luck, it would not be a shocking thing to achieve something in the qi training stage within a dozen years or even a few years.

Even with the power of the Qingxuan Sect, it is impossible to know every qi-training monk in the Qingxuan Domain.

Therefore, it would not be too surprising when a strange qi training talent that no one knows appears from time to time and reaches the threshold of foundation building as soon as he appears.

However, after the foundation was established, it was not that simple.

The simplest fact.

If a foundation-building monk wants to continue to grow and progress, he has extremely high requirements for the spiritual quality of his training environment. Only second-level spiritual veins can provide such a training environment!

Not to mention, to break through from Qi training to foundation building, you also need second-level spiritual veins!

There are countless second-level spiritual veins in the entire Qingxuan Domain, only sixteen in total.

Passing geese leave behind photos, and passing people leave traces.

It is not that difficult to trace the past of a foundation-building monk.

As long as the Qingxuan Sect is willing to spend a lot of money to track down, the traces of every foundation-building monk in the Qingxuan Domain can be found.

Therefore, it is very problematic if he still wants to act like he is practicing Qi, changing his identity and starting over in a new place from time to time.

However, as long as you don't do anything too outrageous during the entire foundation building stage and don't attract the attention of Qingxuan Sect, there won't be any big problem.

The real problem lies in third-order spiritual veins, which are rarer than second-order spiritual veins.

In the past, there was only Qinglin Peak in the entire Qingxuan Domain. Now, there will be a new one, but there are only two.

This is the only way to build the foundation and lead to the next level, and it is also necessary to continue practicing after forming the elixir.

Meng Zhou believed that it was impossible for Qingxuan Sect to give such an important resource to a "pure newcomer" with a blank past and no roots to trace back!

This is a bargaining chip used by Qingxuan Sect to win over controllable forces, but it is not a real charity.

Therefore, he must prepare for a rainy day from now on.

To Meng Zhou, who had just established his foundation, this seemed far away.

But this is the time to make preparations and lay the groundwork. If you wait until you really need to think about this matter, it will be too late.

Of course, the Qingxuan Domain is not the only place in the world. Outside of the Qingxuan Domain, there are other domains, and there are other third-order spiritual veins.

Nor does he have only one choice.

The greater significance of what he did was to lay the groundwork and create opportunities for the future.

"Qihuangmen" is a bold attempt to create a foothold for oneself.

…

"Brother, it's normal that you haven't heard of Qihuang Sect, because this Qihuang Sect is very different from other sects you know.

Because it specializes in the Qihuang Path, well, if you don’t understand, you can simply understand it as the Medicine Master Path."

"Pharmacist? This is a force composed of pharmacists?" Chu Zheng said in surprise.
