Of course, Meng Zhang would not think that his mind was unexplainable. There were many secret methods in the world that could restrain one's inner thoughts and prevent them from being read by mind-reading supernatural powers.
He just didn't expect that the monks of the Li family would also master such methods. After all, this kind of secret technique is not accessible to everyone in the world of cultivation.
Meng Zhang couldn't help but stop, used his Dharma eyes to look at Li Shengqi carefully.
"I see." After a while, Meng Zhang discovered the reason.
There were faint traces of bruises on Li Shengqi's face. If you didn't have enough eyesight, you might not be able to spot it even if you were face to face.
Above his head, a purple aura loomed and spread downwards.
"It's really life-threatening." Meng Zhang shook his head.
It wasn't that Li Shengqi had mastered some secret technique, but that he didn't know when he took the Heart-Sucking Pill.
After taking the Heart-locking Pill, all the thoughts in his heart were deeply hidden. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to reveal it, not only will mind-reading spells be ineffective against him, but even the foundation-building monks who search his soul will be unable to force out the secrets in his heart.
Of course, Suoxindan has such miraculous effects, but it also has serious side effects after taking it.
After a monk takes the Heart-locking Pill, his vitality will be severely damaged and he will not be able to improve his cultivation in the future.
If the monk who takes it allows the power of the Heart Locking Pill to spread in his body, the monk may even become an idiot over time.
According to Meng Zhang's observation, it has been some time since Li Shengqi took the Heart-Sucking Pill. Now Li Shengqi wanted to drain the medicine, but it was already too late.
"What kind of secret did Li Shengqi want to keep that he actually took the Heart-locking Pill?" Meng Zhang was deeply curious in his heart.
Since he couldn't get the desired result from Li Shengqi, Meng Zhang turned to read Zhao Dong's mind.
Zhao Dong, like Meng Zhang, is at the seventh level of Qi refining. Meng Zhang couldn't read his deeply buried thoughts, and could only read some superficial thoughts in his heart.
Zhao Dong led people to surround Li Shengqi and threaten him, which was actually acting. Their original purpose was not to make Li Shengqi surrender. Their goal is not the Li family's shop in Mingshafang City or some extravagant wealth.
After reading this, Meng Zhang couldn't read any more information.
Meng Zhang looked at the few Zhao family disciples brought by Zhao Dong. They were all in the middle stage of Qi refining.
After Meng Zhang used his mind power, he successfully read their thoughts.
These disciples are probably not at a high level and are not qualified to know the secrets of high-level families. Meng Zhang didn't gain much from them.
But it's not all nothing. A lot of content about the internal disputes and personnel relations of the Zhao family is still of some value.
At least it helped Meng Zhang deepen his understanding of the Zhao family, and there may not be anything that can be exploited.
After reading so many people's thoughts continuously, Meng Zhang also felt very tired.
This fatigue is more spiritual. Going deep into the hearts of these people and reading their thoughts, Meng Zhang felt as if he had jumped into a cesspool.
On the one hand, we must be careful to avoid being contaminated by sewage, and on the other hand, we must look for useful things in the sewage.
If you go deep into the minds of others for a long time, it will definitely pollute your own mind, and even make your own Taoist heart become dusty.
His innate magical power, such as telekinesis, seems easy to use, but it must not be used unscrupulously. How to use it appropriately has a degree that needs to be mastered by Meng Zhang himself.
Probably realizing that it attracted too much attention, Zhao Dong and others looked around and let Li Shengqi go.
This is the territory of the Linshan Sect, and all visitors are invited to attend the Foundation Building Ceremony. Everyone in the Zhao family dare not make any mistakes here, lest they anger the foundation-building monks.
After getting away from the Zhao family, Li Shengqi fled here in a hurry, leaving the garden as if running for his life.
There was no excitement to see, and everyone's attention was diverted.
Next, Meng and Zhang stayed in the Linshan Sect's monastery for another two days.
In the meantime, new guests arrived one after another from time to time.
The Linshan Sect was originally one of the leading forces among the vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley. This time, a second foundation-building monk appeared in the sect, and the sect's strength and momentum increased even more.
At least the vassal forces under Shuangfeng Valley all came to the scene one after another, giving Linshan Sect plenty of face.
During these two days, Meng Zhang spent most of his time meditating indoors. Occasionally he went out for a walk, and was warmly received by the Zhike disciples of the Linshan Sect, who led him to have a good time up and down the Linshan Mountain.
Li Xuan seized this opportunity to socialize and inquire about information.
On the third day, it was the day when the Foundation Building Dharma Conference was officially held.
Early in the morning, guests from various families who had been prepared in advance were led all the way to the place where the Dharma conference was held by Linshan's Zhike disciples.
On a piece of flat land is a wide square. In the center of the square is a high platform.
This is where the masters of the Linshan Sect usually hold Dharma meetings to teach the Dharma to their disciples.
Around the square, a large number of futons have been placed. It is divided into separate areas, and each area belongs to a different force.
Xu Chengxian, the leader of Linshan Sect, personally received guests from all parties at the entrance of the square.
"Master Ruan, please come quickly, please come quickly."
"Master Chen, long time no see. You still look like you."
"Elder Zhao, I haven't seen you for a while, but your cultivation has improved a lot, even compared to this old man like me."
…
Xu Chengxian warmly greeted the leaders of each family and never left any family in the cold.
There are only two people in Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang and Li Xuan, and the area allocated is not large. Coincidentally, not far away is the area where the Zhao family monks are.
Watching the Zhao family monks sit down one after another, a middle-aged man sitting at the front looked around, and Li Xuan introduced Meng Zhang in a low voice.
"The middle-aged man named as the leader is Zhao Jiudou, the current head of the Zhao family. I heard that he is only in his early forties, but he has already achieved perfect Qi refining skills. If he hadn't been unable to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, maybe He has already laid the foundation.”
Meng Zhang still had a certain understanding of the Zhao family, an old neighbor.
Zhao Jiudou was a famous genius monk of the Zhao family when he was young. When he was only in his thirties, he had already reached the advanced stage of Qi refining and began to enter the upper echelons of the Zhao family.
He is the youngest elder of the Zhao family and the strongest monk among the elders.
In the past, when Zhao Yanbei, the head of the Zhao family, was still in the Zhao family, he was extremely jealous of him and suppressed him intentionally or unintentionally.
More than two years ago, due to the death of the foundation-building elder Xiao Shenqiang, Shuangfenggu angered the Zhao family and sent all the monks who participated in the war, including Zhao Yanbei, the head of the Zhao family, to Mingsha Mountain to perform hard labor.
Zhao Yanbei was away, and Zhao Jiudou took advantage of the situation to rise. He soon took control of the Zhao family and became the chief elder of the Zhao family, responsible for presiding over all affairs of the family.
