Nothing major happened around Taiyi Gate, so Meng Zhang had enough time to practice.
This time at the gathering, he relied on his own strength to overwhelm many Yuanshen True Lords. Meng Zhang had a lot of feelings in his heart.
He contacted everyone in advance and offered benefits to win over True Lord Changchun and True Lord Jiqiao. But in the end, he still relied on his strength to decide the position of leader.
Meng Zhang was also reflecting on himself.
Over the years, he has been obsessed with all kinds of calculations, playing tricks on others, and neglecting the most important thing for a cultivator.
The most important thing for a cultivator should be his own cultivation.
If Meng Zhang had advanced cultivation and had a crushing combat power, there would be so many worries.
If you encounter those guys with bad intentions, just slap them to death.
What kind of Datong Business Alliance or what kind of magical elixir society are not worth mentioning in front of the truly strong ones.
Not to mention the power of returning to the void, as long as Meng Zhang has the cultivation level of the Yangshen realm, these guys will have no time to kneel down and lick him, and they will come to provoke him.
After wanting to understand this truth, Meng Zhang's main focus was on cultivation.
Anyway, I still have a lot of Yuqing Spirit Machine on hand, which is enough for daily practice.
With his cultivation reaching the middle stage of Yuanshen, Meng Zhang can practice more Taoist magical powers and refine more fourth-level magic weapons.
That's all. What Meng Zhang valued most was the monks in the middle stage of Yuanshen who could refine the external incarnation.
The stalls in Taiyimen were getting bigger and bigger, and Meng Zhang felt more and more overwhelmed.
Apart from anything else, if the Taiyi Sect could have one more Yuanshen-level monk to take charge of the Heavenly Palace, how much benefit would it bring to the sect.
Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi didn't know when they would be able to break through. Even if the breakthrough fails, it is not impossible.
For almost all cultivators, the breakthrough from the golden elixir stage to the Yuanshen stage is a big hurdle, and anything can happen.
Even if he is extremely unwilling, as a qualified leader, Meng Zhang should make some preparations.
He worked hard to improve his soul, hoping to have the ability to refine his external incarnation as soon as possible.
Meng Zhang has an external incarnation, and Taiyi Sect has an extra Yuanshen monk.
Meng Zhang devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation and paid no attention to various things in the outside world.
But in this world, if you don’t cause trouble, trouble will come to you.
On this day, Meng Zhang was doing his routine training, and a messenger came from the rotating elder in the sect.
Zhenjun Shanghan from the Datong Merchant Alliance personally came to Baicaopo, the gate of Taiyimen Mountain, and took the initiative to visit Zhenjun Meng Zhang, the head of Taiyimen.
Since the last time we gathered the power of all the True Lords of Yuanshen to go deep into the big city of the Datong Merchant Alliance and intimidate the Datong Merchant Alliance, there has been no further conflict between the Taiyi Sect and the Datong Merchant Alliance, and they have been living in peace.
Normal business and trade exchanges have been maintained between the two parties.
Taiyi Sect will purchase some goods from the Datong Merchant Alliance, and will also sell some goods to the Datong Merchant Alliance.
Bargaining is inevitable when doing business, and this will not lead to any conflicts.
Of course, the two parties who came forward to conduct transactions were mostly Jindan monks. There is no communication between the True Lord Yuanshen.
Shang Han Zhenjun came to the door, and Meng Zhang couldn't stay behind closed doors.
After all, both sides are cultivation forces under the Dali Dynasty. When conflicts do not break out, they still have to do superficial things.
Meng Zhang left the place where he practiced in seclusion and met Zhenjun Shang Han in the sect's main hall.
Zhenjun Shanghan seemed to have forgotten the previous conflicts and unhappiness. After meeting him, he smiled all over his face, fully showing the enthusiasm of a mature businessman.
He actually said some good things, especially Baicaopo, a place where he was full of praise. The quality and concentration of spiritual energy here are praised as being almost comparable to Jiuqu City, the provincial capital of Jiuqu Province.
The spiritual veins in Baicao Slope were originally average, but they had been damaged by external forces.
Or the Houtu God will use his earth master's skills to repair it.
Later, General Houtu discovered an underground river with extremely rich aura nearby.
He used Taiyi Sect's huge manpower and material resources, and fully utilized various earth master secret techniques to connect the underground river with the spiritual veins of Baicao Slope, allowing the spiritual energy there to flow into Baicao Slope.
After so many years of operation, Baicaopo is fully qualified as the mountain gate of the Yuanshen Sect such as Taiyi Sect, and can be called excellent.
After all, it is said that there is no fourth-order spiritual vein in Junchen Realm. Only when Meng Zhangdu arrived in the Heavenly Palace did he suspect that there was a fourth-level spiritual vein in the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, he had no idea what the mountain gates of the Holy Land sects were like since he had never been there.
In response to Zhenjun Shanghan's compliment, Meng Zhang said a few polite words.
Meng Zhang was very satisfied with the appearance of Baicaopo today, and also a little proud.
After chatting for a long time and fully expressing his goodwill, Shanghan Zhenjun slowly got to the point.
It turned out that he came here this time in the hope that Meng Zhang could open the market in the Taiyimen territory and allow the caravans of the Datong Merchant Alliance to enter and sell goods directly.
Datong Commercial Alliance will also open a business here to carry out various business activities.
In the past, the influence of large foreign merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance only extended to Gale City at most, and it was also subject to great restrictions.
The number and scale of the businesses they opened in Gale City were restricted, and they were also heavily taxed by the Gale City officials.
Lord Shanghan also hopes that Meng Zhang can lift these restrictions and lower the tax rate.
After Datong Merchant Alliance and other large merchants entered the Jiuqu Province in a big way, Meng Zhang knew that the Taiyi Sect could not compete, so he took the initiative to shrink and gave up most of his business activities in the Jiuqu Province.
At the same time, the plows were tightened, the territory of Taiyimen was sealed off, and all outside merchants were refused entry, and they were not allowed to establish business houses and conduct various trades here.
In a territory as vast as the Demon Wind Gobi and the Endless Sand Sea, many cultivation forces depend on Taiyi Sect for their survival.
None of these cultivation forces can directly engage in commercial transactions with the outside world. Purchasing cultivation items and selling items must go through the Taiyi Gate.
All cultivators, including Taiyi Sect disciples, can only purchase talismans, elixirs, magical instruments, etc. produced by Taiyi Sect and its vassal forces.
When Taiyi Sect's output is insufficient, Taiyi Sect can only centralize external procurement and then resell it to other cultivators.
If Taiyi Sect does not do this, there will be a situation where it is better to buy than to make.
The costs of Taiyi Sect's alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making were much higher than those of the local forces of the Dali Dynasty such as the Datong Merchant Alliance. But in terms of quality, it is much worse. Not to mention the vassal forces of Taiyi Sect.
If the market on the territory is really fully opened, the production capacity of Taiyi Sect will be easily destroyed.
With high-quality and low-priced products, who would buy Taiyimen products? Even Taiyi Sect disciples would probably give priority to buying products from big foreign merchants.
Meng Zhang used his own way to forcefully shut out these large foreign merchants.
What Dafeng City did was also inspired by him.
If he wasn't worried about making the scene too ugly, he wouldn't even open the door to Da Feng City.
Because of Taiyi Sect's practices, smuggling talismans, elixirs, etc. into Taiyi Sect's territory was once very prosperous.
Taiyi Sect made every effort to crack down on these smuggling activities, and even mobilized the power of the dark hall to bring them under control.
