True Lord Jin Li took Meng Zhang all the way to drive and kill the cloud beasts and collect the essence of the Nine Heavens.
Meng Zhang was limited to his cultivation and could only play a limited role. No matter how generous Mr. Jin Li is, he can't take advantage of him too much.
Meng Zhang calculated that it had been almost half a month since he entered the Nine Heavens, and his gains were not much.
It might be worse if you enter here alone. It seems that collecting the essence of the Nine Heavens is really not an easy task.
Those monks who come from wealthy families are better off with powerful elders taking care of them. It seems very difficult for monks who come from casual cultivators or from small sects like Meng Zhang.
It is impossible for True Lord Jin Li to take Meng Zhang with her every time, and Meng Zhang will have to think of some new methods in the future.
Generally speaking, it is best not to stay in the Nine Heavens for too long when the monks in the late stage of Jindan enter the Nine Heavens for the first few times. After staying for about half a month, it's time to leave.
Because the rules of heaven and earth within the nine days are special, they put great pressure on cultivators. Even if Meng Zhang is extremely talented, he is not willing to stay here for too long.
Zhenjun Jin Li naturally knows this truth, but this harvest is very good. It was a rare opportunity. Who knew if she would have such good luck next time. She was still unwilling to go back just yet.
Meng Zhang saw Zhenjun Jin Li looking a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to go back alone.
Along the way, Meng Zhang performed very well, fully demonstrating his strength and agility.
True Lord Jin Li hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Before parting, True Lord Jin Li also specially warned Meng Zhang. Don't make any extra trouble on the way back, just leave Jiutian to avoid trouble as much as possible.
Meng Zhang naturally fully accepted Jin Li’s kindness and agreed wholeheartedly.
After parting ways with True Lord Jin Li, Meng Zhang felt that he was in pretty good condition and could try to stay for two more days.
Within nine days, the terrain was extremely complex and changed frequently. The cultivator's spiritual thoughts and detection spells are suppressed and cannot detect places too far away.
Under such circumstances, a cultivator may get lost no matter how good his memory is.
At this time, Meng Zhang simply gave up on finding the way and moved forward directly in the direction sensed by his spiritual sense.
Meng Zhang's return route was not the same way he came. This route is still relatively safe. Not only did he not encounter any danger, but he also gained a lot.
Meng Zhang not only harvested two groups of Nine Heavens Essence, but also captured several cloud beast cubs.
Taiyi Sect has a special beast-taming hall, which is responsible for breeding and domesticating various monsters for use by the sect.
The elder of the sect, Hu Jing, the original master of the Beast Control Hall, has developed a special mental method and can use the spiritual pets he raises to enhance his combat effectiveness.
The combat power of the cloud beasts in the Nine Heavens is generally stronger than the monster beasts in the Junchen Realm, and they have more potential.
The intelligence of cloud beasts is much higher than that of ordinary beasts, so they should be tameable.
The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether Cloud Beast can adapt to the new environment after leaving such a special environment within Nine Days, and whether it can survive and continue to grow.
Meng Zhang flew along the route of his spiritual sense for about ten days before arriving at the boundary of Jiutian.
Meng Zhang jumped out of the sky and returned to the outside world.
Meng Zhang first felt dizzy and dizzy. Then he quickly returned to normal, and he felt that his whole body was relaxed, and the invisible pressure that originally enveloped his body completely disappeared.
After leaving Jiutian, the adverse effects of Jiutian on the body naturally dissipated quickly.
At this time, Meng Zhang suddenly remembered the cloud beast cub he had captured.
He took out the spiritual pet bag and took a look. The cloud beast cubs, which were originally full of energy and vitality, have become weak and listless. One of the animals was in the worst condition and was already dying.
Meng Zhang did not dare to delay any longer, so he immediately accelerated his descent and rushed downwards quickly.
He rushed back to the Baicao Slope of the mountain gate, handed several cloud beast cubs to the elder Hu Jing, and briefly explained their origins.
At this time, the cubs in the worst condition have begun to turn into clouds and are about to disappear.
There are specialties in the arts, and Hu Jing's attainments in beast control are far superior to Meng Zhang's. She took over a few cloud beast cubs and went to find a way to place them.
Not long after Meng Zhang returned to the door, many things came to him.
First, the eldest disciple Niu Dawei asked to see him and reported to him the recent affairs in the sect.
Although Meng Zhang left most of the affairs of the sect to Niu Dawei, he still listened to his reports from time to time and gave him various pointers.
Since the restoration of peace, Taiyi Sect has quickly recovered its strength. The aggressive development of Yaofeng Gobi and the increasingly frequent business contacts in Da Feng City have brought Taiyi Sect more and more wealth.
The number of mortals currently owned by Ether Yi Gate is increasing, and the number of people who have awakened their spiritual roots is increasing. Even though the Taiyi Sect has already raised the threshold for entry, it can still ensure that there are enough disciples to join.
Meng Zhang sat on his seat, half-opening his eyes, quietly listening to Niu Dawei's report.
Niu Dawei handles these trivial daily affairs very well.
After True Lord Jin Li agreed to join the Jiuqu League, the Taiyi Sect, as a force under True Lord Jin Li, naturally became a member of the Jiuqu League.
The relationship between Taiyi Sect, Dafeng City, and the Gu Yue family has become closer and closer, and it has been integrated into the Jiuqu Alliance step by step.
Soon, Niu Dawei talked about the issue of the Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch and the Huoyun Sect.
As for the battle between the True Lord Yuanshen, Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect are currently unable to participate. His current target is the forces under True Lord Yue Feng.
Taiyi Sect is currently facing the two forces of Huanglian Sect Hedong Branch and Huoyun Sect.
Of course, Meng Zhang does not want the other party to unite, but to find ways to divide and disintegrate them.
Taking advantage of True Monarch Yue Feng's exploitation of the Endless Sand Sea, Taiyi Sect used profits as bait to lure the Fire Cloud Sect to secretly participate in smuggling with Taiyi Sect.
With the word of profit at the forefront, and he himself was not a direct subordinate of True Lord Yue Feng, the Fire Cloud Sect took the bait easily.
Even without the Taiyi Sect's secret instigation, in order to expand their profits, the Fire Cloud Sect secretly pulled all the vassal forces under the Hedong Branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect into the water and began to smuggle in various special resources produced by the Endless Sand Sea.
In fact, the top leaders of the Hedong Branch are not completely ignorant of the private actions of the Fire Cloud Sect.
However, they were also dissatisfied with True Monarch Yue Feng's exploitation, so they all pretended to be deaf and mute and allowed the Fire Cloud Sect to do what they did. Even intentionally or unintentionally, they will use various methods to sell more resources to the Fire Cloud Sect.
After all, according to the order of True Lord Yue Feng, all the resources of the Endless Sand Sea were sent to the Shanyue Branch for sale, which would do too much harm to the interests of the Hedong Branch.
Taiyi Sect secretly facilitated this matter, which not only caused internal problems for the other party, but also reaped great benefits for itself.
The Huoyun Sect sold various resources to Taiyi Sect's territory. Taiyi Sect kept some of them for its own use, but most of them were sent to Gale City for sale, and they made a lot of profits from them.
Taiyi Sect has been secretly doing its best to maintain this smuggling route. This is not only for profit, but also has a larger goal.
After listening for a long time, Meng Zhang listened to Niu Dawei's report and gave him careful instructions before letting him back down.
Shortly after Niu Dawei retreated, the weak water god general came to the door again.
People without thought, he must worry about.
Taiyi Sect currently seems to have a vast territory and a lot of income, but as the number of monks in the sect, especially the Golden Core Stage monks, increases, a new round of expansion will inevitably be carried out to obtain more resources.
It is naturally impossible for the Taiyi Sect to expand in the direction of the Jiuqu Alliance. There is a new owner on the Endless Sand Sea, and it is also impossible to invade.
The northernmost sea of dead sand is barren and devoid of any life. Although it can produce some mineral resources, there are also some special elixirs. But ordinary humans cannot survive there, and they have no spiritual veins, so the value is not high.
Taiyi Sect currently has no plans to expand there except for arranging some monks to go to the Death Sand Sea to obtain resources.
The only possible direction for Taiyi Sect to expand is to the west, continuing to expand towards the depths of Yaofeng Gobi.
In these years, Taiyi Sect has strengthened its surveillance of the depths of Yaofeng Gobi. General Weak Water God even sneaked in many times to investigate the specific situation there.
The weak water god general brought bad news to Meng Zhang.
The monster beasts in Yaofeng Gobi were retreating all the way in the face of the invasion of the Sea Clan, and were about to lose their support.
If these monsters cannot withstand the attack of the Sea Clan, they will be completely defeated. Their only escape direction is the current territory of Taiyi Sect.
When the time comes, Taiyi Sect will bear the brunt and will face the impact of a large wave of demonic beasts. After this, if the Hai Clan continues to expand, Taiyi Sect will directly face the powerful enemy of the Hai Clan.
The Taiyi Sect had just ended its last war more than 20 years ago. There was no time to replenish the elite members of the lost sect, and their vitality had not been restored. If a new war were to start, it would really not be a good thing for Taiyi Sect.
Although Taiyi Sect currently has the blessing of True Lord Jin Li, Jin Li is not Taiyi Sect’s nanny, let alone Taiyi Sect’s thug.
It is impossible for Taiyi Sect to count on Jin Li Zhenjun to help solve every problem. If a war breaks out, the main force in the battle will still be the Taiyi Sect monks.
After listening to the report of the weak water god general, Meng Zhang had no good solution. We can only order to strengthen the monitoring of Yaofeng Gobi and respond at any time. At the same time, Taiyi Sect will also start to slowly prepare for the next war.
Meng Zhang returned to the sect and after handling a lot of affairs in the sect, he started practicing again.
This time he practiced and began to try to absorb the essence of the Nine Heavens.
After absorbing the essence of the Nine Heavens for the first time, Meng Zhang finally understood why the Essence of the Nine Heavens was what the late Jindan cultivators were searching for.
Compared with absorbing spiritual energy from the third-level spiritual veins, the essence of the Nine Heavens can improve cultivators in all aspects.
Every time he refines the essence of the Nine Heavens, Meng Zhang will enter a special state, feeling that his whole body and mind have been sublimated, and he is one step closer to the great road.
Absorbing and refining the essence of the Nine Heavens is also a test for Jindan monks. Only monks in the late stage of Golden Elixir can successfully absorb and refine it. The stronger the foundation of the monk, the more benefits he will get from it.
