Although Meng Zhang had already decided to explore the mine, he would not act rashly and would need to think carefully beforehand.
According to Fang Yong's information, the biggest danger in that mine is the countless vicious ghosts.
In the place of trial, Meng Zhang killed a large number of ghosts, including Yin soldiers, with just his soul body.
In the Yang world, Meng Zhang, who has a physical body, only has more ways to deal with ghosts.
Not to mention anything else, he has the Shaoyang True Qi that he has cultivated for many years and is extremely strong, which is the nemesis of all kinds of ghosts.
Meng Zhang might not be too sure if it was another danger, but if it was just a ghost, he really wouldn't be that scared.
Most of the ghosts wandering around in the Yang world are lonely ghosts or wandering souls. If there is a group of Yin soldiers, it will be as strong as the sky.
After all, Yin and Yang are separated and limited by the rules of heaven and earth. It's not like a few ghost kings can jump out of just any mine.
Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. Before taking action, Meng Zhang still needs to make some preparations.
Anyway, for Meng Zhang, going to explore the mine was neither necessary nor urgent.
Meng Zhang waited at the gate for more than half a month, waiting until another batch of herbs matured, then he mounted the Chasing Wind Horse and left the Taiyi Gate.
Meng Zhang rode the wind-chasing horse and rushed directly to Mingshafang City. Riding on the horse, he seemed to be taking a nap, but in fact he was secretly observing the surrounding situation.
Surrounded by a vast plain, it stretches as far as the eye can see. Apart from the endless yellow sand, there is no place to hide anyone.
As for the underground, with the speed of Chai Feng Pony running on the ground, I am afraid that except for the monks in the foundation building stage, the earth escape speed of the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining is far beyond the ability to catch up.
On the other hand, Meng Zhang just glanced at the sky with his Deliang Dharma Eye and discovered the clues.
In the distant sky, a black spot moved next to the clouds. A cultivator with poor eyesight would not be able to spot it.
It is said that the Zhao family has always raised a first-order monster called the Red Feather Eagle.
The red-feathered eagle is not very powerful in combat, but as a flying monster, it not only flies extremely fast, but also has amazing eyesight. It can clearly see a small bird on the ground at an altitude of more than a thousand feet.
The Zhao family has inherited a special method of controlling beasts, which is used to control the red-feathered eagle. It can control the red-feathered eagle like an arm and a finger.
Red-feathered eagles are excellent messengers and even better spies. Used to monitor and detect enemies, it is almost invincible.
Having discovered the watcher in the sky, Meng Zhang was at his wits' end for the time being. With his current means, it would be difficult to harm such a high target.
But he is not in a hurry. Since the Zhao family has sent a red-feathered eagle to monitor him remotely, it seems that his judgment on the Zhao family is not wrong.
Speaking of the method of controlling beasts, Meng Zhang also has many inheritances acquired in the trial place. It's just that, except for the mount Chasing the Wind, he has never gotten a suitable monster.
When you have the chance, it's best to find a way to get some monster cubs and try to cultivate them. Meng Zhang thought in his mind.
The horse chasing the wind galloped quickly, but no matter how fast it went or how long it ran, it could not get rid of the red-feathered eagle in the sky.
Meng Zhang, who had been mentally prepared for this, didn't care at all.
In just half a day, Meng Zhang arrived at Mingshafang City and entered smoothly.
High in the sky behind him, the black spot also stopped moving and stayed high in the sky.
There are several foundation-building monks stationed in Mingshafang City for a long time.
Once foreign monsters like Red Feather Eagle approach Mingshafang City, they can easily be alarmed.
Monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are no better than those in the Qi Refining Stage. They have many means to deal with flying monsters like Red Feather Eagle.
Moreover, as a vassal force of Shuangfeng Valley, the Zhao family does not have the courage to cause trouble in Mingshafang City, which is controlled by Shuangfeng Valley.
After entering Mingshafang City, Meng Zhang was sure that he was free from the surveillance of Red Feather Eagle.
According to the original plan, he should have gone shopping directly. But when I thought about it, I realized that the Zhao family was a local snake that had been entrenched here for many years, and its foundation was much stronger than that of the Taiyi Sect. There might be eyes and ears in Mingshafang City. If you go shopping directly, then most of your shopping information will not be hidden from the Zhao family.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhang simply found a hotel to stay. Then he contacted Shi Weiming secretly.
After trading the herbs he brought to Shi Weiming, he gave him a shopping list and asked him to help with shopping.
It was such a simple effort, and Shi Weiming, who had cooperated with him several times, naturally agreed casually.
Shi Weiming called several of his men and asked them to go to several stores in Mingshafang City to buy the items on the list.
Meng Zhang didn't wait any longer and went directly back to the hotel.
In the evening, it was Meng Zhang's repertoire every time he came to Mingshafang City, visiting the ghost market and looking at street stalls.
Meng Zhang walked around the ghost market but found nothing.
It’s been a while since I’ve been there. The same stall owners are still there in the ghost market, and there aren’t many new goods on the street stalls.
Meng Zhang began to think that when he was free, he should go shopping in other markets to see if there would be any new gadgets there.
After visiting the ghost market, Meng Zhang secretly met up with Shi Weiming as agreed in advance.
Shi Weiming did not disappoint Meng Zhang. Not only did he buy all the items Meng Zhang needed, but he also gave Meng Zhang a surprise.
Ten earth escape spell talismans, some talismans to exorcise evil spirits and destroy ghosts, and a fire talisman.
This fire talisman is a first-grade, high-grade magic weapon, made entirely of a piece of fiery red warm jade.
After injecting true energy, the fire talisman can release fire spells such as fire snakes. Depending on the attributes of the infuriating energy, the power of the fire spell is also different.
Meng Zhang was very satisfied with this magical weapon, beyond imagination. He has been to Mingshafang City several times, but he has never encountered a magic weapon that suits him so well.
Shi Weiming was originally asked to buy a fire-attribute magic weapon, but he brought this small masterpiece. Even if it's a little more expensive, it's worth it.
After putting away the items and handing the spirit stone to Shi Weiming, the two said goodbye as Meng Zhang thanked him again and again.
Coincidentally, on the way back to the hotel, Meng Zhang happened to meet an acquaintance, the caravan owner Lao Bingbing, whom he had been in contact with before.
Since the two parties first met, they met twice more in Mingshafang City.
This is not surprising. The main task of the labor caravan is to go to the Bai Zang soil mine, transport supplies, and transport them back to Bai Zang soil. From time to time, he would stop at Mingshafang City, a place he must pass through.
Later, after the two met, Lao Bulu told Meng Zhang that the sand monster the caravan encountered came from a new sand monster nest nearby.
Shuangfeng Valley deployed a lot of people to find the sand monster's lair. Then several more foundation-building monks were mobilized to completely destroy the sand monster's nest.
The group of sand monsters wandering around were quickly wiped out by Shuangfeng Valley after losing their nest. The nearby business roads also returned to safety.
