In the current Taiyi Sect, Yang Xueyi is not the first monk to break through to the Yuanshen stage.
In the sect's scripture collection pavilion, in addition to the various classics left by the senior Yuanshen monks, Meng Zhang himself also recorded and included some matters that need to be paid attention to after breaking through the Yuanshen stage.
With the guidance of previous experience, Yang Xueyi can avoid many detours.
When Yang Xueyi embarked on the path of cultivation, she practiced the inheritance left by a golden elixir monk from the Zijin Sect.
After Meng Zhang retrieved Taiyi Sect's various inheritance classics, she began to specialize in Taiyi Sect's core inheritance technique - "Five Elements Heavenly Talisman Sutra".
As a junior in the sect whom Meng Zhang valued very much, Yang Xueyi did not disappoint Meng Zhang.
Yang Xueyi herself is an excellent talisman maker and a superb spiritual chef. Even if there is no major care from the sect, various resources can be raised for practice.
Now that Yang Xueyi has advanced to the Yuan Shen stage, she must become a fourth-level Talisman Maker. It is only a matter of time.
In the original Jiuqu Alliance, fourth-level Talisman Makers were very rare.
The fourth-level talisman masters use most of the talismans for their own use and those of their fellow sects. Not many fourth-level talismans have leaked out, making it rare to find fourth-level talismans on the market.
Even though the Jiuqu Province is now under the rule of the Dali Dynasty, large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance have invaded it in large numbers, and all kinds of foreign cultivation supplies are very abundant.
However, there are not many fourth-level items on the market, including fourth-level elixirs, talismans, etc.
The Talisman Alliance sells a full range of talismans, with only a small number of fourth-level talismans, and they can often be sold at sky-high prices.
These big foreign merchants do things very methodically.
They dumped a large number of low-level items, such as low-level talismans, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., and defeated the local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province in one fell swoop.
However, when it comes to high-end items that are difficult for local cultivators to produce, not only are the sales quantities limited, but the prices are also ridiculously high.
Many local Yuanshen True Monarchs both love and hate these large foreign merchants.
In the original Jiuqu League, due to the low production capacity, the True Lords of Yuanshen could not purchase the required fourth-level items even if they had a lot of spiritual stones.
Many True Lords of Yuanshen, who have achieved Yuanshen for many years, do not have fourth-level magic weapons at hand. It is very rare to take fourth-level elixirs and use fourth-level talismans.
Sihai Trading Company, the most powerful trading house in the Jiuqu League, can occasionally transport a small amount of fourth-level items from other places for sale, but it cannot satisfy the needs of the True Monarchs of Yuanshen at all.
Now, even if these big merchants in the Dali Dynasty deliberately control it, the number of fourth-level items they transport is still far more than before.
But the price is very unfriendly.
While many True Lords of Yuanshen were cursing, they still raised spirit stones in various ways to buy the needed fourth-level items.
Sometimes, these big merchants refuse to accept spiritual stones and only accept Nine Heaven Essence and Jade Pure Spiritual Machine. Of course, barter is also accepted.
As far as Meng Zhang knew, even the True Monarch of Changchun in Changchun Temple used his old money to buy fourth-level elixirs from the enemy's Miaodan Society.
Although Changchun Zhenjun is a fourth-level alchemist, he has very few fourth-level elixir recipes. He can only refine a few fourth-level elixirs, and the elixir yield rate is very low.
Of course, although these big merchants have various shortcomings, their goodwill is still no problem. Even items sold to enemies are generally not tampered with.
After Yang Xueyi of the Taiyi Sect became a fourth-level talisman maker, Meng Zhang did not seek to sell the fourth-level talismans for profit. He only needed to be able to meet the needs of the sect, and that was completely satisfied.
Making fourth-level talismans requires not only a fourth-level talisman master, but also a lot of precious materials, including many fourth-level spiritual materials.
Meng Zhang was prepared for a rainy day and asked his disciples to start collecting now.
To this end, he also specially met with Li Chongyi, the master of Menzhong Shangtang.
Now Taiyi Sect has no shortage of Jindan Masters, and the heads of each hall are basically held by Jindan Masters.
The threshold for becoming an elder in the sect has been raised again.
Only those who are at least a middle-stage Jindan monk and have made great contributions to the sect are qualified to become an elder in the sect.
Li Chongyi's ancestors joined the Taiyi Sect early on.
The Li family has roots in the Taiyi Sect. Many members of the clan are disciples of the Taiyi Sect, and most of them are responsible for the sect's foreign trade.
In order to adapt to changes in the situation and the development of the sect, Taiyi Sect's internal organization has also undergone many adjustments.
Previously, all commercial and trade affairs were under the control of the Foreign Affairs Hall. Later, the commercial and trade affairs in the clan became increasingly heavy, so a separate business hall was set up to manage all commercial matters in the clan.
Master Li Chongyi is not outstanding among many Jindan Masters in Taiyi Sect, whether in terms of cultivation or combat power. But he has outstanding business talent and manages the Taiyi Sect's business hall in an orderly manner.
Even in the face of competition from large foreign merchants, Li Chongyi could barely maintain his business activities.
In addition to doing his best to maintain the market in the Taiyi Sect territory, he also actively explored the market in the Daheng Cultivation World.
When summoned by Meng Zhang, he reported to Meng Zhang on recent business matters as usual.
Although everyone in the small alliance formed by Meng Zhang benefited and helped each other and opened their markets to each other.
But firstly, the time is still short, and secondly, the market is too small, so we can’t see much effect yet.
On the other hand, in the Daheng cultivation world, through the channels of Maple Leaf Mountain City, Taiyi Sect's business activities are growing in scale, bringing a lot of profits to the sect.
In addition to constantly maintaining and expanding the market there, Li Chongyi is also preparing to purchase a large amount of goods from within the small alliance established by Meng Zhang and ship them to Daheng Cultivation World for sale.
This is a great thing for the alliance, and Meng Zhang certainly strongly supports it.
After Sihai Trading Company was annexed by large foreign merchants, Taiyi Sect took the opportunity to recruit a large number of its members.
After a period of identification and inspection, Li Chongyi planned to transfer some management talents to Maple Leaf Mountain City to expand the scale of business there.
Maple Leaf Mountain City was originally an escape route left by Meng Zhang for Taiyi Sect. Judging from the current situation, Taiyi Sect will not have to consider retreat for a long time.
In this case, it is better to let Maple Leaf Mountain City play a greater role.
Then more manpower needs to be invested there. Even if this secret base is exposed, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Meng Zhang was very satisfied with Li Chongyi's work and did not hesitate to praise him.
Li Chongyi also raised a question.
Traveling to and from Maple Leaf Mountain City through the mother-child teleportation disk requires the consumption of Kongming Stone.
There is no Kongming Stone produced in the territory of Taiyi Sect, the entire Jiuqu Province or even the surrounding areas.
The Kongming Stones currently needed by Taiyi Sect are all purchased from the Datong Merchant Alliance at high prices.
In the past era of Jiuqu Alliance, you could not buy Kongming Stone even with spirit stones. Now that there are stable purchasing channels, we can obtain Kongming Stones with guaranteed quality and quantity.
However, Li Chongyi still felt that he was always being controlled by others.
Meng Zhang also deeply agrees with Li Chongyi's concerns.
