With the help of this senior deacon, Meng Zhang spent a large amount of spiritual stones to buy two pseudo-third-level talismans refined by the Jindan Master.
Pseudo-third-level talismans have little effect in battles at the Golden Core level, but they can still play a decisive role in battles between monks at the foundation-building stage.
In addition, Meng Zhang also bought a lot of odds and ends.
He went out this time because he was considering renting a third-level spiritual vein, so he brought enough spiritual stones with him. Pack it all up with a generous storage ring and storage bracelet. I also carry a few storage bags with me.
After shopping, Meng Zhang returned to the inn where he stayed.
In the following days, Meng Zhang had a good time traveling around Gale City. I also went to the Gu Yue family and met Gu Yue Youlan several times. I participated in several Dharma meetings held by the monks in the foundation-building period of the Gu Yue family, and exchanged views on Dharma and mysticism with these monks.
Because of Gu Yue's relationship with Huai Die, these monks from the Gu Yue family had a fairly good attitude toward Meng Zhang and did not regard him as an irrelevant outsider.
When communicating with him, he was also willing to take out some dry information and tell some useful things.
Meng Zhang reciprocated the favor and shared some of his own cultivation experiences.
After all, Meng Zhang was also a monk with perfect foundation building, and he also received some inheritance from the Taiyi Sect's heyday. He casually leaked something, which made the monks of the Gu Yue family marvel and benefit a lot.
Of course, monks from the Jindan family like the Gu Yue family are not in vain, and they can also come up with a lot of useful things.
Everyone felt that the exchange during this period of time was very fruitful and that the time was not wasted.
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.
That night, as soon as Meng Zhang returned to the inn where he was staying, he saw the long-lost Jueying at the door of his courtyard.
We haven’t seen each other for many years, but Jueying’s style is even better than before.
A thin veil covered her face, covering most of her stunning face.
Meng Zhang had seen Jueying's true face when he was in the endless sea of sand.
Now Jueying's demeanor has become even more extraordinary.
Over the years, Meng Zhang has become a perfect monk, and Jueying has not been idle either.
Her method of concealing her aura and concealing her strength was even more sophisticated. Meng Zhang couldn't help but use the Delusion Technique to take a look, but he couldn't see through Jueying's true cultivation.
It's just a rough estimate that she has at least a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
They were both a little excited to see each other again after not meeting each other for a long time.
However, Meng Zhang has been the head of the Taiyi Sect for many years and has become very calm, almost able to keep his emotions and anger hidden. Jueying, on the other hand, has a dull temperament and has always been cold, rarely taking the initiative to express her emotions.
She was able to show some excitement, which was already a certain limit.
Meng Zhang led Jueying into the small courtyard where he rented. After sitting down, the two began to slowly talk about the situation after their separation.
After the demonic energy was expelled from Luo Ye's body and his strength was restored, he brought Jueying to the Jiuqu Alliance.
After some twists and turns, Luo Ye succeeded in forming the elixir and became a real person with the golden elixir.
When Fallen Leaf hit the Golden Core stage, Jueying also successfully established the foundation and became a foundation-building monk.
After that, Luo Ye took Jueying and stayed with Jiuqu League for many years.
When Jueying told Meng Zhang about her experiences over the years, she was vague in many places.
She did not hide it, and told Meng Zhang bluntly that some things involved black market secrets and could not be known to outsiders.
From Jueying's words, Meng Zhang also learned some details about the black market.
In most places in the world of cultivation, the black markets that exist basically belong to an organization called the Dark Alliance.
Somewhat similar to the Jiuqu Alliance, the Dark Alliance is also an alliance composed of many cultivation forces.
Of course, the overall strength of the Dark Alliance is far stronger than the Jiuqu Alliance countless times. The internal situation is even more complicated and confusing.
Luo Ye and Jueying were from a sect called Shadow Sect within the Dark Alliance.
As for more information about the Dark Alliance and the Shadow Gate, Jueying has not disclosed it.
In recent years, Jueying has been working for the Jiuqu League's black market. Within the black market, it can be regarded as having a certain status.
Of course, Meng Zhang believed that this was a bit of a status, but it was just Jueying's humble statement. Her status within the black market should be relatively high.
As for Jueying's master Luo Ye, well, he should be called Zhenren Luo Ye now. He left for Middle-earth many years ago.
Even her disciple Jueying doesn't know when she will come back.
Meng Zhang also told Jueying what he could tell about his experiences over the years.
Meng Zhang's cultivation level improved greatly, and the Taiyi Sect prospered even more, becoming a regional overlord in the endless sand sea.
Jueying was full of praise for Meng Zhang's achievements.
When she heard Meng Zhang talk about the conflict with the black market, Jueying first felt angry, and then felt helpless.
When people leave, the tea is cool, and the fallen leaves have been away from the endless sand sea for a long time, and their influence there is gradually fading. If people really don't want to give face and don't buy it, Jueying has no good solution.
Although the Endless Sand Sea and the Jiuqu Alliance are closely adjacent to each other, the black markets on both sides are two completely independent systems within the Dark Alliance, and it is difficult for them to interfere with each other.
If Master Luo Ye were here, with her identity as Master Jin Dan, there would be some scruples over there. But Luo Ye Zhenren is not here now, and with Jueying's status, it is really difficult to influence there.
But Meng Zhang didn't take it seriously at all. He came to Jueying this time, and he never expected to rely on the power of Jueying's master and apprentice to deal with the black market on the other side of the endless sand sea.
Today's Taiyi Sect is not something that can be provoked by just the black market.
The important base of the black market is located underground in Huojingfang City. If Meng Zhang is really annoyed, he can easily eradicate that place by mobilizing manpower.
In fact, after the Taiyi Sect took control of Huojingfang City, the black market frequently showed goodwill to the Taiyi Sect and wanted to settle the feud with the Taiyi Sect.
There is no way, the black market is now controlled by others and has to bow its head temporarily.
In addition to the black market in Feihong City, the black market in Huojingfang City is the most important base of the Dark Alliance in the endless sand sea. If you are not desperate, you cannot give up easily.
If the black market in Huojingfang City wants to continue to exist as before, it needs the tolerance and acceptance of Taiyi Sect.
However, Meng Zhang has always been lukewarm and kept a sufficient distance from the black market.
Of course, Meng Zhang also knew that the power behind the black market was huge. Even the Feihong Sect had to tolerate its existence, and it was even more impossible for the Taiyi Sect to drive out the black market.
He showed this attitude as long as he wanted to be in a favorable position in future negotiations with the black market.
Before Meng Zhang left the Endless Sand Sea and headed to Gale City, no one in the black market had a chance to have direct contact with Meng Zhang.
