After Meng Zhang came out of seclusion, he did not publicize his breakthrough in cultivation with any fanfare.
In his opinion, the breakthrough from the early stage of Yuan Shen to the middle stage of Yuan Shen is not a big deal and is not worthy of publicity.
As your cultivation improves, you can use it as a trump card, only revealing it when necessary.
Compared with the early stage of Yuanshen, the middle stage of Yuanshen can cultivate more Taoist magical powers, and can refine and control more fourth-level magic weapons.
When Meng Zhang was in the early stage of Yuanshen, he only controlled three fourth-level magic weapons: the Spirit Snake Spear, the Colorful Ray Robe, and the Yin-Yang Spirit Gourd, and he reached the limit of what he could support.
Now that his cultivation level has improved, he can at least master two or three more fourth-level magic weapons.
Of course, the more fourth-level magic weapons you can refine, the better.
To support the weapon spirit of the fourth-level magic weapon requires the consumption of the power of the soul. Excessive consumption of the power of the soul will definitely affect the progress of cultivation.
Meng Zhang is a person with lofty goals and will never regard the middle stage of Yuanshen as the end of his cultivation.
The monks in the middle stage of Yuanshen also have a special ability, which can divide the Yuanshen, create distractions, and refine an external incarnation.
Refining an external incarnation is a very difficult task and requires meeting many stringent conditions.
Dividing the soul is a major damage to the soul, and the soul must be strong and tough enough to be able to withstand it.
Refining the external incarnation requires special secret methods. Many Yuanshen sects with insufficient foundation do not have such secret methods.
Refining the external incarnation requires the consumption of many precious materials, including rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Not to mention monks from small families, even those disciples from large sects may not be able to meet all the conditions for refining the external incarnation.
Among the monks in the middle stage of Yuanshen that Meng Zhang had seen, he had never seen anyone refining the incarnation of the body.
Of course, it's also possible that someone is being cunning and hiding their trump card.
Meng Zhang has the secret technique inherited from the Taiyi Sect, but his soul still needs to be refined slowly. He didn't even have the slightest clue about refining the various materials for his external incarnation.
There is no rush to refine the external incarnation. What Meng Zhang is most anxious about right now is continuing to practice.
Daily practice in the middle stage of Yuanshen requires absorbing and refining the Jade Pure Spirit Machine.
As far as Meng Zhang knows, those large sects with many Yuan Shen True Lords will regularly organize Yuan Shen teams to sweep into the void to search for Yuqing spiritual machines.
Meng Zhang was alone. If he entered the void outside the territory to search, not to mention the dangers in the void, the vast and endless void alone would make him helpless and he would not know where to start.
In the treasury of the Dali Dynasty, there are a large number of Jade Spirit Machines available for exchange.
Meng Zhang did not have enough military skills to use, and he did not want to be completely controlled by others in such a major matter related to spiritual practice.
In the past, Meng Zhang had exchanged Yuqing spiritual secrets from other True Lords of Yuanshen. It's just that this kind of good thing is hard to come by, and there is no guarantee of a stable source.
Meng Zhang thought for a while, and then went to ask the veteran Ji Sword Master General in the sect to see if he knew a good way to steadily obtain the Yuqing Spirit Machine.
When Meng Zhang sent people to summon the Supreme Sword Divine General, the Thunder Divine General, who was proficient in the art of refining weapons, came to the door first.
The three fourth-level magical instruments in Meng Zhang's hands are just like human beings. They need to absorb various nutrients in order to thrive.
The weapon spirit needs Meng Zhang to use the power of his soul to nourish it and enhance its spirituality. The body of the magic weapon also needs to absorb various materials.
Meng Zhang himself didn't have much time to collect materials, so he left this matter to the Thunder God General who was the most proficient in the art of weapon refining in the sect.
With Meng Zhang's order, Jing Lei God General can mobilize his disciples and use various resources to meet Meng Zhang's needs.
This time he brought three materials to Meng Zhang.
One is three large bottles full of sky-high glow.
This requires flying high into the sky on specific days each year and using special methods to collect.
Just for these three large bottles of sky glow, several Jindan masters from the Taiyi Sect spent a full ten years, flying high into the sky regularly every year, enduring the fierce wind, and suffered all kinds of hardships.
After Meng Zhang slowly integrated these three large bottles of sky glow into the colorful glow robe, he could greatly enhance the defensive power of this magical weapon.
The second material is red sun gold.
There are two veins of red sun gold in Taiyimen in the endless sea of sand.
It mainly produces first-level Red Yang Fine Gold, but also produces a lot of second-level Red Yang Fine Gold.
Among the secret techniques for refining weapons mastered by the God of Thunder, there is a secret technique that can consume a large amount of second-order red sun fine gold and extract a small amount of third-order red sun fine gold.
However, doing so requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Ordinary Jindan sects simply cannot afford it.
Chi Yang Fine Gold is a widely used weapon refining material, especially for refining flying swords.
After Meng Zhang enters the middle stage of Yuanshen, he can refine more fourth-level magic weapons.
The Sun and Moon Orb that Meng Zhang personally refined is a third-level magic weapon that requires the absorption of a large amount of precious spiritual materials. Only after Meng Zhang's long-term cultivation can it be promoted to a fourth-level magic weapon.
Originally, Meng Zhang asked Thunder God General to collect these red sun gold to strengthen the sun and moon orbs.
But now, he changed his mind again.
Probably most cultivators have the plot of flying swords, and Meng Zhang is no exception.
After all, he was a monk in the middle stage of Yuanshen, but he didn't even have a flying sword that could be used. Meng Zhang usually felt very regretful.
He asked General Jing Lei to keep these red sun fine gold, and when he had raised enough other spiritual materials, he asked him to refine a good third-level flying sword, and then he would do it himself and slowly upgrade it to the fourth level. Flying sword.
The third material brought by Thunder God General is a large box of iron-blooded evil energy.
Generally, it is easy to condense the iron-blooded evil energy after a long period of accumulation near the battlefield where there has been brutal fighting.
Some of these iron-blooded evil spirits were collected by Taiyi Sect disciples, and some were purchased by the sect.
Meng Zhang himself is not proficient in the art of killing, so he needs to use foreign objects to meet the needs of the spiritual snake spear, a killing weapon.
These iron-blooded evil spirits are a somewhat nutritious snack for the Spirit Snake Spear.
In the past, Meng Zhang was often the one who contributed to the Taiyi Sect and helped the sect grow.
Now, the Taiyi Sect has developed and grown, and can already provide huge manpower and material resources to serve Meng Zhang and support Meng Zhang, the True Lord of Yuanshen.
Although the True Monarch of Yuanshen has a long lifespan, he spends his time in many places.
Having a strong sect as the backing can provide a lot of convenience.
With an order, thousands of disciples obeyed and ran for him.
Although the Instrument Hall has another leader, as an elder of the sect who is proficient in the art of refining weapons, Thunder God General still intervenes in many matters of the Instrument Hall.
The Thunder God General took advantage of this opportunity to report to Meng Zhang about the affairs of the Qitang and listen to Meng Zhang's further instructions.
Meng Zhang generally would not interfere with the specific affairs of each hall in the sect. At most, he would only make requests or point out a general development direction.
He, who was not very proficient in the art of refining weapons, had the same attitude towards the Thunder God General's request.
