I originally thought that the exchange and social activities had made the college popular, but I didn’t expect that the next few days would be the real crowds.
Old Bai, as a highly respected senior in the spiritual martial arts world, naturally has countless friends. Even though he is guarding the gate all day and has less time than Daju, he actually had a period of great success when he was young.
The news of his promotion to the Grandmaster Hall spread quickly throughout the country. Everyone knew about it and came to congratulate Tianyan Academy and Tianyan Hall for having another truly powerful person.
There are very few Grandmasters in the lower realm. In top-tier forces like Yanyu and Hongwumen, there are at most two.
For an ordinary force, as long as there is a Grandmaster, it can be called first-class.
Of course, a super power like the Tianyan Palace cannot be treated with common sense. After all, there are four or five masters in the Tianyan Palace, not to mention some old monsters who have been practicing in seclusion for many years.
But to be honest, the truly powerful Grandmasters are no longer in the lower realms. People like them have great ambitions and of course they can't stay here and be the leaders.
Even if I have to be the tail of a phoenix, I still have to climb the ladder to heaven and see the scenery of the upper world, so that my life will not be in vain.
This social event lasted for several days, but Old Bai also enjoyed it. Looking at a large group of old buddies who were still in the Minor Success Realm and the Soul Tempering Realm, and himself being a Grandmaster, he felt a sense of superiority uninvited!
Xu Xiaodao also gave half a can of tea to Mr. Bai as a gift.
Old Bai knew very well that all his good fortunes were related to Chen Zhong.
It should be a big deal!
Mr. Bai wasn't senile. He was drinking tea, not wine, and although he was a little tired, his mind was clear. He saw it clearly...
The tea that Chen Zhong was serving at that time gradually turned into an endless river. What flowed in the river was not water, but the years from ancient times to the present!
He saw many things from thousands of years ago and felt the loneliness and vicissitudes of life in the long river. At that moment, the person sitting opposite him was no longer the young Chen Zhong, but a lone wise man who had traveled thousands of miles.
The kind of person who has lived for countless years, where every move is Tao, every word and action is reason, every sentence is true, and every step is like a lotus.
Then, the tea in his cup also changed, full of the rhythm of creation, and all the inner demons and obstacles were solved.
What followed was a natural breakthrough. The body, soul and demonic soul were tempered to perfection and merged into one. He could separate and combine with ease, and he realized his own way. He could be called a grandmaster!
Old Bai just felt it was strange, but he didn't have any doubts at all. Subconsciously, it seemed that Chen Zhong was just like that, and it was natural and could not be refuted.
Unconsciously, he had developed a silent respect for Chen Zhong and felt a great deal of gratitude towards him.
Regardless of whether Chen Zhong did it intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Zhong played an indispensable role in my success in advancing.
So, after the social event, Mr. Bai found Chen Zhong.
"I don't know what you need," said Old Bai, carrying a bulging snakeskin bag and tossing it on Chen Zhong's desk. "I figured spirit stones are hard currency, so no one wouldn't like them. I'll give you some."
He opened the hole and the spirit stones inside flowed out.
Chen Zhong was still thinking that such a big pocket could only hold a few spirit stones, but it turned out that one third of it was used to store spiritual weapons!
Chen Zhong picked one up at random, probed it with his consciousness, and sure enough, it was full of spirit stones.
"I don't have the exact number, but it's most of my life's collection. You can take it." Old Bai said without any pretense.
"Mr. Bai, please keep all these. I haven't done you any favors." Chen Zhong wanted to play hard to get. He couldn't just say frankly that he wanted to recruit him.
Mr. Bai is not the kind of person who changes with the wind. He must be boiled in warm water and convinced by time.
To prescribe the right medicine for a disease, different methods are needed to deal with different people. After all, for some people with great potential, Chen Zhong does not want them to simply obey. The goal is to make them truly willing to follow.
"I benefited a lot from that cup of tea, young man. Although I don't know how you did it, I'm not a curious or greedy person. If you don't want to tell me, so be it." Old Bai is very open-minded and doesn't bother with trivial matters.
"It's just a little trick of the family. You don't need to take it to heart, Mr. Bai. It's just a small effort. It's easy to do. Besides, Mr. Bai is also my mentor."
Chen Zhong maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude and behaved properly, without any arrogance of the kind that suggested "I helped you, so you have to listen to me."
"Family? Small...tricks?" It was as if a meteorite fell in Bai Lao's heart. All kinds of suspicions and imaginations ran wild, casting countless layers of mystery over Chen Zhong.
"I hope Mr. Bai won't reveal what I did." Chen Zhong did not forget to remind him that the secret of the Creation Mode must not be known to others before he becomes independent, otherwise he might become a prisoner.
As for Mr. Bai, Chen Zhong was still quite relieved. After spending several months with him, he got to know this old man very well.
Even if we take a step back and say that he really has bad intentions, Chen Zhong has plenty of ways to deal with it.
Head-on confrontation has never been his forte.
After Old Bai left, Chen Zhong counted the spirit stones in the snakeskin bag.
A total of 846,110 pieces.
From this number, we can understand Mr. Bai's character and personality. He is an old man worth making friends with and investing in.
After putting 800,000 spirit stones into his body, Chen Zhong's sense of security suddenly increased.
He seriously suspected that he had hamster syndrome. He liked to hoard everything and needed everything at home and on the road all year round.
The more stuff you have, the more comfortable you are.
So, Chen Zhong went down the mountain, went to Linglong City, and returned home.
He moved three hundred thousand spirit stones and hid them in the floor.
I modified the mechanical spirit formation left by my cousin, reinforced and upgraded it, and added a few triggering spirit formations to make it more stable.
After doing all this, in order to avoid meeting his neighbors, Chen Zhong jumped out of the window and disappeared into the city woods.
For the next week, Chen Zhong did not stay at home or return to the college, but wandered around the city.
It was mentioned before that Linglong City is the city where Chen Zhong feels safest, and the reason is simple.
First of all, the sense of security must be given by yourself, and secondly, you have to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Chen Zhong ran from Dongcheng District to Beicheng District, then from Beicheng District to Nancheng District and Xicheng District. After circling the suburbs, he finally returned to the central city.
It's not for anything else, just to set up a little spiritual formation.
In Linglong City, he set up more than 18,000 spiritual formations, including 275 fourth-grade ones.
The types involve all categories, important traffic arteries are taken care of, places that are likely to become the final battlefield are covered by spiritual arrays, and places that may become the gates of enemy forces are surrounded by spiritual arrays.
Of course, Zhou Chaoyin’s father’s City Lord’s Mansion was not spared either. In case there was rebellion inside, it would be a good opportunity to help the empire.
Anyway, Chen Zhong has thought of everything that can be considered. It would be best if nothing happens, but if something does happen, it will be under control.
"Let's just set up this much for now, and expand to other cities when we have enough time."
Chen Zhong stretched lazily, his eyes, which had not been closed for a week, were a little congested and bloodshot.
However, there was a hint of a smile on Chen Zhong's face, which looked a bit crazy.
