Meng Zhang hid these books not because he was hiding something for himself, but because his disciples were not good at cultivation. Reading these books would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Moreover, the Dharma cannot be taught lightly. Some entry-level skills can be taught directly to disciples. However, in order to obtain further skills, these disciples need to contribute to the sect, prove their loyalty to the sect, and express their willingness to integrate with the sect. One body.
Taiyi Sect's original good merit system was relatively complete, and Meng Zhang and the others only made some simple modifications.
In order to correspond to the good merit system, a corresponding task system has also been established.
Meng Zhang has the position of head, Tian Zhen and Taoist Master Qingling have the position of elders, and they can obtain fixed good deeds every month. If you contribute to the sect, you can also get good deeds.
For example, disciples on the mountain can obtain good deeds by taking care of the spiritual fields and patrolling the mountain gates.
After these systems are formulated, tasks are released, good deeds are distributed, and good deeds are exchanged for items in the warehouse. All these chores are handled by Tian Zhen, the general affairs elder.
Although it seems that there are a lot of things to do, Taiyi Sect doesn't have many disciples at the moment, so he is quite busy.
Meng Zhang gave the medicinal seeds he bought in Mingshafang City to Taoist Priest Qingling and asked him to try planting them after the autumn harvest in Lingtian.
After finishing the affairs within the sect, it was not time for Meng Zhang to rest.
He asked Shangtian Zhen and Taoist Priest Qingling to ride on Chasing the Wind Horse and left Taiyi Gate.
They came to the place where Meng Zhang encountered sandworms last time.
When he left last time, Meng Zhang carefully cleared away the traces on the ground. But he failed to remove the traces of sandworms passing through underground.
Letting the two of them wait where they were, Meng Zhang cast the Earth Escape Talisman he purchased.
A first-level, high-grade earth escape talisman can allow Meng Zhang to enter the ground less than ten feet deep and escape no more than ten miles away.
After Meng Zhang escaped underground, he quickly discovered the traces left by the sandworms in the ground after traveling through them.
Following these traces, Meng Zhang escaped all the way. After spending four Earth Escape Talisman, Meng Zhang discovered a sandworm nest.
Meng Zhang returned to the ground and summoned Taoist priests Tian Zhen and Qingling.
Having experience in hunting sandworms, he used the earthquake technique to lure the sandworms to the ground.
A total of five sandworms were divided into two waves and came to the ground respectively.
The three of them joined forces and spent a lot of effort to eliminate all three sandworms.
Not caring about cleaning up the battlefield, Meng Zhang once again used the Earth Escape Talisman to escape underground and enter the sandworm nest.
There was nothing to gain from the sandworm nest. There were a lot of eggs, but Meng Zhang destroyed them all without leaving any eggs.
Before the ten earth escape talismans were exhausted, Meng Zhang finally discovered a red copper vein less than ten miles away from the sandworm's nest.
Meng Zhang made a rough estimate and concluded that there should be a lot of cuprite in this vein.
The current Taiyimen has neither the ability to mine underground red copper ore nor the ability to comprehensively survey the ore veins.
Meng Zhang could only remember the location of the mineral vein, and then returned to the ground.
Not surprisingly, there was a large amount of undigested copper ore in the bellies of the five sandworms.
Clean all the ores, collect them, and put them into storage bags.
All traces of the battle on the ground and the corpses of the sandworms were destroyed by Meng Zhang, making sure not to leave any traces.
Finally, just in case, Meng Zhang even used the earthquake technique many times to destroy the underground sand structure and destroy all the traces of the underground sandworms.
After doing everything they could, the three returned to Taiyi Gate.
The three of them secretly prayed that the news about this red copper vein could be kept secret until the day when Taiyi Sect was able to mine it.
Meng Zhang decided to refine the red copper ore harvested this time and divide it into several pieces for sale in Mingshafang City.
Half of the proceeds from the sale went to the sect's treasury, and the other half was divided among three people, of which Meng Zhang accounted for the majority.
In the days that followed, Meng Zhang's main focus was on his own cultivation.
Not only do I work hard to practice Shaoyang Qigong, I also have to learn many new spells.
Many of the spells obtained from the trial ground are very practical and have extremely high cultivation value.
The Wang family father and son, who were hired by Meng Zhang, quickly adapted to life in Taiyi Sect.
Although the father and son are wild children and have not received systematic inheritance, they do have good attainments in spiritual cultivation.
The experience accumulated over the years enables them to cope with various tasks in the spiritual field.
With the father and son, Taoist Master Qing Ling has become much more relaxed and has more time to study new spiritual plant knowledge.
The Wang family and his son are also very satisfied with their life in Taiyimen.
Taiyimen is not a harsh master, but is very generous. Not only are wages paid on time in accordance with the employment agreement. Moreover, Taoist Priest Qingling liked the two father and son, and would give them guidance on spiritual planting techniques from time to time.
Although Taiyi Sect has been in decline for a long time, it still has some foundation. Taoist Master Qingling's spiritual planting technique is still systematically inherited and has its own system.
Especially after gaining Meng Zhang's knowledge from the trial site, Taoist Master Qingling's spiritual planting technique has made great progress and has taken on a somewhat new look.
Time flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, autumn arrives, and it’s the harvest season in Lingtian.
What was harvested this time was the spiritual grain grown in the spiritual field.
Among the spiritual fields of Taiyi Sect, there are fifteen acres of spiritual fields dedicated to planting first-level spiritual valley snow fragrant rice.
Snow fragrant rice is as white as snow and has a special aroma. The spiritual power contained in it is also very mild and easy to absorb. It is the most widely consumed spiritual rice in the endless sea of sand.
If it were in the mortal world, a few strong laborers could easily harvest fifteen acres of fields.
But Linggu is not only troublesome to plant, but also difficult to harvest.
The stems of Linggu are as tough as iron and cannot be cut by ordinary people. Only a special sickle infused with true energy by a cultivator can easily cut it.
Including Meng Zhang, everyone in the Taiyi Sect worked hard for several days to finish harvesting the spiritual grain.
After the harvest of the spiritual valley, there are still a lot of troubles. If Meng Zhang hadn't hired the Wang family and his son, Taiyi Sect's original manpower would really be too busy.
After finishing harvesting the spiritual valley, Taoist Master Qingling did not have any free time.
Some of the low-level medicinal herbs grown in the remaining spiritual fields are gradually being harvested.
After finishing these tasks, there are still new herb seeds that need to be planted at selected times.
If it weren't for the old scalper Taoist Priest Qingling in the Taiyi Sect, it would really be impossible to maintain it.
According to past practice, most of the spiritual grain harvested by Taiyi Sect every year will be transported to Mingshafang City for sale in exchange for spiritual stones to maintain the operation of the sect.
Meng Zhang decided not to do this in the future. The harvested spiritual grains are all left in Taiyi Sect for the disciples to eat.
As for the cost of Taiyi Sect, the spiritual stones in the warehouse can be maintained for the time being.
