The current level of Taiyi Sect is still too low.
Disciples can collect ordinary resources in large quantities.
Except for the disciples who occasionally get some high-level resources by chance, the main way to collect high-level resources is from Jiutian.
If you want to enter the Nine Heavens, you need at least the cultivation of the late Jindan.
If you want to collect various resources safely inside, it is best to have the True Lord of Yuanshen lead the team.
The current Taiyi Sect is still lacking in high-end combat capabilities.
It is difficult to organize a resource collection team and enters the Nine Heavens all year round.
The high-end combat power in the sect doesn't have that much free time.
Of course, the current Taiyi Sect is in the early stages of an outbreak.
As long as the current stage is safely passed, the strength of the sect will usher in a major explosion.
After years of accumulation, Meng Zhang has slowly laid a solid foundation and is about to break through to the middle stage of Yuanshen.
Both Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi have reached the golden elixir stage and may break through to the Yuanshen stage at any time.
In addition, among the young disciples of the sect, more and more people have broken through to the golden elixir stage.
Although most Jindan real people have no possibility of breaking through to the Yuanshen stage. But only if the base number is large, the probability of a Yuanshen stage monk being born in the door will increase.
After decades of peaceful development, the population within the Taiyi Sect territory has increased significantly, and development is booming.
Even if Taiyi Sect fails in business and encounters some operational difficulties, it cannot stop Taiyi Sect's flourishing development trend.
Taiyi Sect currently has no other external enemies except for some conflicts with the Dark Alliance branch under the leadership of Zhenjun Dong Qiang.
Those big merchants from the Dali Dynasty are fully expanding and have not directly conflicted with the Taiyi Sect for the time being.
The Taiyi Sect was peaceful, but the other cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, mainly the small group formed by Master You Hongzhi, were in big trouble.
After 20 to 30 years of development, the scale of their commercial exchanges with foreign invaders has grown larger and larger. They are also getting more and more profits from it, and they are increasingly inseparable from such transactions.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Several caravans sent by this small group were intercepted by the garrison of Jiuqu Province.
The Dali Dynasty had long issued an order prohibiting all major cultivation forces from collaborating with outside invaders.
Conducting business transactions with them violated the laws of the Dali Dynasty.
This type of transaction has been going on for many years, and the whereabouts of the caravans coming and going have always been secretive.
Moreover, the Dali Dynasty's garrison guarding various parts of Jiuqu Province had absorbed many monks from local cultivation forces.
Even if these monks are in the garrison, they have not forgotten their sect and family.
Not to mention those monks who were bribed.
They did many things such as informing the caravan, even turning a blind eye and letting them go.
This time the garrison suddenly took action and intercepted multiple caravans at once, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Especially when these caravans are intercepted, they rarely surrender.
The less courageous ones ran away on the spot, while the more courageous ones openly resisted arrest and started fighting.
In order to capture these caravans, casualties inevitably occurred among the garrison.
As a result, the nature of the matter became more and more serious.
In fact, many people in Zhenjun You Hongzhi's small group have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
In their opinion, it was just bad luck that the caravan was intercepted by the garrison.
All you need to do is take care of yourself as before, and you can turn big things into small things.
When the news reached Meng Zhang's ears, Meng Zhang immediately realized that something was wrong.
Communicating with foreign invaders and smuggling goods are not small crimes.
Blatantly resisting arrest and attacking and killing the garrison of the Dali Dynasty was an unforgivable crime.
The Dali Dynasty fought in all directions all year round, and the army was the most important thing.
The garrison, a low-level army that garrisoned places and maintained law and order, was still part of the military establishment of the Dali Dynasty.
This group of desperate guys fought against the garrison, but they made a big mistake.
To put it more seriously, it is disobedience to the king's law and rebellion.
Things progressed just as Meng Zhang expected.
Soon, rumors spread everywhere in Jiuqu Province.
It was said that the local cultivating forces wanted to rebel, so a large number of cultivating forces gathered, attacked and killed the garrison, and colluded with the outside invaders to cause rebellion.
Someone has already reported the matter to Marshal Zhang Weineng, the governor of Jiuqu Province, and requested that the rebellious monks be suppressed immediately and normal order in Jiuqu Province be restored as soon as possible.
At this time, many monks in that small group realized that the problem was serious.
Before Governor General Zhang Weineng could react, Miaodan Society, Datong Merchant Alliance, and Fuqi Alliance, several large merchants from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty, had already gathered a powerful force in the name of slaying the rebellious parties and maintaining order. Not a weak army of monks.
This army of monks can be dispatched at any time. With just one order, he can go to all parts of Jiuqu Province and wipe out all the chaotic parties.
From the caravan being intercepted, to being accused of rebellion, to preparing to counter the rebellion.
This series of things happened very suddenly, and the progress was even more amazing.
At this time, no matter how dull you are, you should realize that something is wrong.
Some people may still have illusions in their hearts, thinking that these are all misunderstandings, and they can get away with it as long as they are explained clearly.
But not everyone is so naive.
Those who are more decisive have already begun to take action.
Xu Mengying took time out of her busy schedule to secretly meet with Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang left the mountain gate and met Xu Mengying near Dafeng City.
After not seeing her for many years, the originally graceful and fairy-like female cultivator had already changed her temperament.
At this time, Xu Mengying looked haggard and gloomy.
After the two met, Xu Mengying's first words were that she should have listened to Meng Zhang's advice and not gone into this troubled waters, let alone joined the small group organized by Zhenjun You Hongzhi.
Meng Zhang was silent, not knowing how to comfort her.
Based on the current situation of the Huanglian Sect, apart from joining a small group and hugging each other for warmth, there seemed to be no other better way to get out of the predicament.
The reason why Meng Zhang has always refused to join that small group is because the situation of the Taiyi Sect is still good and is far from reaching the end of the world.
Sitting on two vast territories, the Endless Sand Sea and the Demon Wind Gobi, Taiyi Sect has enough room for maneuver.
Secondly, Meng Zhang was wary of True Lord You Hongzhi, which made him unable to trust him at all, and instinctively wanted to stay away from him.
Meng Zhang had just avoided the turmoil this time by rejecting True Monarch You Hongzhi's connection.
Xu Mengying came to the door this time not only to express regret, but also to seek help from Meng Zhang.
After this incident happened, Meng Zhang knew that it would be difficult for the Taiyi Sect to stay out of the incident.
He had already thought of helping.
