At present, Taiyi Sect seems to be prosperous and on the rise. But in fact, the situation we face is extremely dangerous, and there is a danger of overthrowing if we make any move.
Feihong Sect, this unreliable ally, is too weak to protect itself. Whether Jin Li Zhenren can achieve Yuanshen is even more unknown.
Every possible help is a life-saving straw, and Taiyi Sect must firmly grasp it.
Dafeng City secretly sided with Taiyi Sect just because of their interests. Facing the True Lord Yuanshen, Gale City may not be able to do anything.
But Da Feng City is already the only external help Taiyi Sect can find, and Meng Zhang is certainly not willing to let it go easily.
Moreover, the interest relationship sounds unpleasant to say, but it is a very reliable relationship, far more reliable than things like friendship, kindness, and morality.
Every time he came to Dafeng City, Meng Zhang would take the initiative to visit important figures in the Gu Yue family. During the conversation, they would always give the Huoyun faction some eye drops intentionally or unintentionally.
As the second family in Da Feng City and one of the only two controllers of Da Feng City, the Gu Yue family and Da Feng City both prosper and suffer. Damage to the interests of Da Feng City naturally also means damage to the interests of the Gu Yue family.
It's just that the Gu Yue family has always been gentle in their behavior, so it's difficult for them to react violently to this.
On the other hand, the Lu family has expressed its dissatisfaction with the two sects of the Fire Cloud Sect in public many times.
If it weren't for the Gu Yue family's reputation, Meng Zhang might have bypassed the Gu Yue family and visited the Lu family.
Gu Yue is an old friend of Huaidie and knows Meng Zhang well. Meng Zhang didn't play any tricks in front of her, and told her straightforwardly that it was becoming increasingly difficult for Taiyi Sect and Huoyun Sect to coexist.
As the mastermind of the Gu Yue family, Gu Yue Huaidie has many eyes and ears and is well-informed. Of course, she is very aware of the situation on the other side of the Endless Sand Sea.
As Meng Zhang's old friend for many years, she is of course emotionally inclined towards Meng Zhang. In terms of interests, I am also willing to support Taiyi Sect.
However, the internal situation of Jiuqu League is complicated, and the situation around Gale City is not stable. Now is not the time for the Gu Yue family to act rashly.
Gu Yue Huaidie did not hide the position of the Gu Yue family. She also told Meng Zhang straightforwardly that the Gu Yue family would not directly intervene in the disputes on the Endless Sand Sea now.
This was not the first time that Meng Zhang heard the same words from the monks of the Gu Yue family. He doesn't feel discouraged. No matter what the result is, he will always do what he should do.
And he believes that conflicts of interest are the most difficult to reconcile. There will always be a day when the Windy City can no longer bear it. At that time, without his instigation, Dafeng City would take the initiative to stand on the front of Taiyi Sect.
After visiting Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang went to inspect Taiyi Sect's business situation in Gale City.
When they arrived in Da Feng City, Meng Zhang no longer had to hide his whereabouts and could appear in public.
In addition to organizing many caravans to and from Dafeng City, Taiyi Sect also established a chamber of commerce in Dafeng City, purchased shops, and conducted various operations.
Taiyi Gate is a tall building at the headquarters of the Dafeng City Chamber of Commerce. It was named Hengyuan Tower by Meng Zhang himself.
Thinking back to the beginning, Taiyi Sect finally established its own business organization in Xiaofang City on the other side of the endless sand sea, and built its first Hengyuan Building.
As Taiyimen grew and grew, its business grew bigger and bigger, and Hengyuan buildings, large and small, were spread all over the city. Now Hengyuan Tower has even been brought to Gale City.
Taiyi Sect's current strength is considered number one among the Jindan Sect. It also owns a territory as vast as Yaofeng Gobi. There are a lot of cultivation resources produced, the sect has strong production capacity, and the disciples in the sect are well managed. The business naturally grew bigger and bigger, bringing a lot of profits to the sect.
If Taiyi Sect cannot gain a foothold in Yaofeng Gobi, Dafeng City's business is one of the options.
Meng Zhang inspected carefully and listened to the report of the stationed deacon. After feeling that there were no major problems, we set out on our way home.
After the relocation of Taiyi Gate, the Shanmen Gate has been officially moved to Baicao Slope.
Naturally, the original spiritual fields and medicinal gardens at Xiongshi Ridge will continue to operate. Because Jin Qiaoer was practicing in Xiongshi Ridge recently, Taiyi Sect did not arrange for other Jindan monks to be stationed there.
When passing Xiongshi Ridge, Meng Zhang went to visit Jin Qiaoer.
Jin Qiaoer was able to successfully form the elixir this time, and the Taiyi Sect was a big help.
Regardless of whether the Taiyi Sect did this because of Jin Li's face, Jin Qiaoer himself took advantage of this favor.
Jin Qiaoer warmly received Meng Zhang who came to visit.
Speaking of which, Meng Zhang is the landlord here, and Jin Qiaoer is just taking advantage of it temporarily.
Meng Zhang's main purpose of visiting Jin Qiaoer this time was to have a good communication with her.
Jin Qiaoer formed the elixir not long ago, and had been busy consolidating his cultivation and practicing some magical powers that only monks in the golden elixir stage could master.
With Master Jin Li's teachings, she has no shortage of skills in martial arts and various magical powers, and what she has learned is very advanced.
Of course, the effect of cultivating oneself behind closed doors will definitely not be as effective as communicating with fellow practitioners for advice.
Although before the elixir was formed, Master Jin Li taught everything that should be taught and left many jade slips to Jin Qiaoer.
However, Jin Qiaoer still benefited a lot from the guidance of Meng Zhang, a master in the middle stage of Jin elixir.
Meng Zhang not only sat and discussed with Jin Qiaoer, but also exchanged ideas with her to help her improve her combat experience.
Meng Zhang stayed in Xiongshiling for more than two months. In the process of communicating with Jin Qiaoer, he also gained certain gains.
Jin Qiaoer's inheritance is very brilliant, and he has the guidance of a famous teacher like Zhenren Jin Li. Many times, she can bring surprises to Meng Zhang.
After the exchange, before leaving, Meng Zhang casually asked if Jin Qiaoer knew the current situation of Jin Li and if there was any way to contact her.
Jin Qiaoer told Meng Zhang very sincerely that ever since Jin Li entered the small world of Zijin Sect, she had lost all contact with her master and had no idea about her current situation.
Meng Zhang saw that Jin Qiaoer didn't seem to be faking it, so he just sighed secretly in his heart, and then said goodbye and left.
Time passed in a flash, and it had been more than thirty years since Jin Li lived in seclusion in that small world. But there is still no news from her, and it is not known whether she succeeded or failed.
Jin Li's real person has not appeared around the endless sand sea for such a long time, which has begun to arouse some people's suspicion.
This group of people have nothing to doubt about Jin Li. If they doubt the situation of Tianzhu, it will be a real disaster.
After Meng Zhang returned to Baicaopo, there was no other better way besides practicing hard and trying to improve his combat effectiveness.
Another ten years have passed, and Meng Zhang's cultivation has become more and more advanced.
Even after entering the middle stage of Jindan, his cultivation speed did not slow down much.
Taiyi Sect's current financial resources and connections can already purchase some third-level items from Jiuqu League.
Among them are third-level magic weapons, third-level spiritual objects, and third-level elixirs.
As the leader of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang will naturally be worshiped by the sect. The disciple tried his best to collect some things that he could use.
From time to time, Meng Zhang was able to take some third-level elixirs or refine some third-level spiritual objects.
Although the training resources provided are far from sufficient, for Meng Zhang, they are already valuable.
In the process of leading the rise of Taiyi Sect, he encountered the shortage of training resources many times.
Taiyi Sect has reached this stage, and it can already support the high-level monks in the sect, instead of needing high-level monks to subsidize the sect like before.
Meng Zhang hasn't checked Taiyi Sect's large treasury for a long time, and he is not very clear about Taiyi Sect's current wealth.
The higher your cultivation level, the longer you invest in cultivation. Most of the affairs of the sect have been handed over to his disciples. In particular, his eldest disciple Niu Dawei played the role of acting head almost perfectly and handled most of the daily affairs of the sect.
Meng Zhang, the head of the sect, only participates in major events in the sect. He will take the initiative to speak out at important moments that affect the future and destiny of the sect.
When Meng Zhang was less than 200 years old, he reached the middle stage of Golden Elixir cultivation and reached perfection. There is only one step left to enter the late stage of Jindan.
At this time, Meng Zhangcai finally hit a bottleneck and his cultivation temporarily stagnated.
Cultivation has stagnated, but cultivation cannot stop. He has too many magical powers and needs to learn and practice them slowly.
The more spells and magical powers you master, the more ways you can fight against the enemy, and the stronger your combat effectiveness will be.
Taiyi Sect faces powerful foreign enemies, and Meng Zhang certainly needs to master strong combat effectiveness.
In these years, in addition to Meng Zhang's progress, others in the sect have also made progress.
For example, Yang Xueyi has almost completely refined the talismans inherited from the predecessors of the Zijin Sect's Golden Pill, and has mastered many superb talismans.
After Wen Qianquan became the real person of Jindan, he finally found the path that suits him best. He integrated his superb array methods into his practice and mastered many ways to use arrays to enhance combat effectiveness.
The two elders in the sect, Hu Jing, the original master of the Beast Control Hall, and Zheng Chao, the current master of the War Hall, after completing their cultivation in the foundation-building period, went into seclusion one after another and began to attack the golden elixir stage.
Taiyi Sect now has a lot of Jindan monks. According to Meng Zhang's idea, in the future, it would be best for the elders of the Taiyi Sect to be all Jindan cultivators. Except for a few special circumstances, monks in the foundation-building stage can no longer become elders.
Of course, there were so many foundation-building elders in Taiyi Sect before, and their status will definitely be retained. They are still the elders in the sect.
In fact, over time. If those elders of the Foundation Establishment Stage are never able to advance to the Golden Core Stage, they will be eliminated by time sooner or later.
True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng, who escaped from the endless sea of sand, began to doubt True Lord Tianzhu's condition.
Although it is said that True Lord Yuanshen has a long lifespan, it is common for him not to show his face for hundreds of years. For example, when Zhenjun Tianzhu was entangled with the fifth-order earth spirit, he stayed in the depths of the Death Sand Sea and never left for hundreds of years.
But after experiencing True Lord Yue Feng's betrayal and True Lord Xuanfeng's scheme, it was not like his character to be able to remain so calm without any reaction.
Tianzhu Zhenjun has never been a magnanimous character, but always retributive and vicious.
True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng communicated several times, and both felt that True Lord Tianzhu's condition was probably not good.
But they dare not go to the Death Sand Sea to investigate in person. They were worried that if this was Zhenjun Tianzhu's plan to lure enemies, wouldn't they take the initiative to send him to his door?
They were hiding on the territory of the Jiuqu League. As long as True Lord Tianzhu had not advanced to the Void Return Stage, he would not dare to risk war with the entire Jiuqu League and come to trouble them rashly.
In order to determine the status of True Lord Tianzhu, the two True Lords of Yuanshen once again gave orders to their subordinates, True Lord Jindan, asking them to use various methods and strengthen testing to confirm the authenticity of True Lord Tianzhu.
More and more Jindan Zhenren secretly sneaked into the Death Sand Sea to investigate the battlefield of Tianzhu Zhenjun and the fifth-level earth spirit.
Master Jin Li is in seclusion in the small world of Zijin Sect, and no one will come out to stop them anymore.
However, the remaining power of the avenue in the center of the battlefield has not dissipated yet. Even Jindan Zhenren, once touched by the power of the avenue, will be seriously injured even if he is not dead.
This group of Jindan Daoist people had been wandering around for a long time, but they didn't dare to approach rashly.
They are not ignorant idiots, but knowledgeable veterans.
No matter how loyal they are to the two True Lords of Yuanshen, they will not risk their own lives.
A famous Jindan master came and went, but was never able to get close to the core area of the battlefield. Naturally, he was unable to find out what happened on the battlefield at that time.
It is impossible to directly test the truth of Tianzhu Zhenjun, there are some other ways.
The Huoyun Sect and the Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch no longer focused on obtaining cultivation resources, but began to exert efforts at the border.
The two sects sent out more patrol teams, crossed the default stable boundary many times, went deep into Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect, and clashed with the garrison monks there.
Conflicts became more frequent, more intense, and more bloody. All four sects have suffered casualties, and the conflict continues to escalate.
The Qi Refining Stage monks have stayed away from this bloody battlefield, and the Foundation Establishment Stage monks from both sides have begun to participate in the battle in large numbers and engage in crazy fighting.
Master Jin Dan is not far from the battlefield, monitoring changes in the battle situation at all times.
Even at certain times, some Jindan masters would act shamelessly and bully the small ones. At this time, the opponent's Jin Dan Zhenren will also take action in time.
Fortunately, the Jin elixir masters on both sides maintained restraint, only tried to stop it, and did not continue to entangle, thus avoiding the direct start of the Jin elixir war.
Meng Zhang's order to Taiyi's disciples was to resolutely fight back the enemy's provocations and never retreat voluntarily during conflicts.
At this time, Taiyi Sect must be tough enough to prevent the enemy from noticing its weakness.
Without Master Jin Li and Master Fei Shi, even if Taiyi Sect has more Jin Qiaoer and General Houtu, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of Jin Dan combat power.
Fortunately, the Huoyun Sect and the Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch still have scruples and are unwilling to rashly trigger a war.
Although they continued to escalate the conflict and invested more and more forces, they still maintained restraint and did not launch a full-scale attack. Instead, they always limited the battle to local battlefields.
