At this time, almost four years have passed since Taiyi Sect relocated many cultivation forces and opened up the Yuantu Prairie.
In the past four years, the vassal forces of the Shangguan family, those whose homes were occupied by foreign invaders, and various cultivators who were enfeoffed by the Taiyi Sect, have all settled here.
One after another, the spiritual veins ushered in new owners.
On top of the spiritual veins, patches of spiritual fields have been opened up, and there are even rare elixir gardens.
Although the spiritual grain produced here is far from meeting the needs of local cultivators, it has greatly reduced the amount of spiritual grain purchased from outside.
Mining of varying scales began one after another in the veins.
The various spiritual materials produced can be used not only for personal use, but also for export.
Taiyi Sect's development on the Yuantu Prairie has just begun, and it still requires continuous investment.
No matter how short-sighted someone is, they will not kill the goose that lays the goose at this time.
Therefore, Taiyi Sect not only did not collect offerings from the cultivation forces here, but instead provided them with various conveniences.
Some cultivation forces formed by casual cultivators do not have enough financial resources to develop their territories.
Taiyi Sect will provide them with low-interest or even interest-free loans, allowing them to purchase various materials from Taiyi Sect for territory development.
Taiyi Sect was originally suppressed by large foreign merchants, and its commercial power was severely shrunk. It began to expand wildly on the Yuantu Prairie.
After years of development, Taiyimen has a strong production capacity and can manufacture most of the commonly used items by itself.
Among the three allies of Taiyi Sect, Changchun Guan is good at refining elixirs, Huolieshan is good at refining magic weapons, and Jiqiao Sect is good at making machine puppets.
These products were shipped to the Yuantu Prairie, which was undergoing large-scale development, and were very popular.
Taiyi Sect transferred some of its interests to these three sects and allowed their products to enter the Yuantu Prairie for sale.
These three sects are becoming more and more dependent on Taiyi Sect, and their relationship with Taiyi Sect is getting closer.
The small alliance that Meng Zhang established now only has five factions.
Taiyimen is the well-deserved core and has become the true leader.
Meng Zhang's next plan is to formally merge all four other sects into the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Meng Zhangcai did not take action just because he was worried about arousing the fear of Governor Zhang Weineng.
In fact, Taiyi Sect, Huanglian Sect, Jiqiao Sect, Changchun Temple and Huolieshan have formed a very close alliance, and they advance and retreat together on many major issues.
This alliance has fewer members than before, but its internal cohesion has been greatly improved.
In the north of the Jiuqu League, this is already a force with the ability to determine the overall situation.
Ever since the Shangguan family was destroyed, Wurift Valley has taken the initiative to cut off all ties with the alliance.
Although not stated explicitly, Riftless has been effectively excluded from the alliance.
The headquarters of the alliance has been moved from the Huanglian Holy Mountain, the Huanglian Sect's main altar, to the Xiongshi Ridge above the Taiyimen territory.
Meng Zhang officially assumed the position of leader and began to legitimately lead the entire alliance.
The current northern part of the Jiuqu Alliance maintains its independent status except for the Riftless Valley. All the cultivation forces will act based on the eyes of this alliance.
Last time, Meng Zhang led a coalition of monks into the Yuantu Prairie and defeated the barbarians outside the territory. The other sects were worried about the situation in the Jiuqu League and did not retain their strength in the Yuantu Prairie.
In this way, the Yuantu Prairie became the exclusive property of the Taiyi Sect family.
Now, even if they are allies, Meng Zhang will not give up the territory and interests on Yuantu Prairie to them in vain.
If they want to enter the Yuantu Prairie for development, they must also obtain the consent of the Taiyi Sect.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to exchange interests with Taiyi Sect.
In fact, in the entire Jiuqu Province, there are many people who are jealous of Yuantu Prairie.
Governor Zhang Wei couldn't take action personally, he just mixed sand and buried nails secretly.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other large merchants also began to fall into trouble after the destruction of Jiuqu City and the loss of access to the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
These large merchants have a lot of power left in Jiuqu Province and can still maintain a minimum business operation.
But they had no convenient way to transport various goods from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty. The production system they established in Jiuqu Province is far from perfect.
Without a large number of high-quality and low-price products, they have lost their biggest advantage.
They had to change their previous business methods and start to adopt the traditional business methods.
To maintain the operation of their own systems and to feed so many members, the operating pressure of these large businesses has increased greatly.
The treasure land of Yuantu Prairie fell into the eyes of these big businessmen.
This treasure land, which has been ruined by foreign barbarians for many years, has a good foundation. As long as it is managed well, the harvest will definitely be good.
As a result, large merchants led by the Datong Merchant Alliance began to try to enter the Yuantu Prairie.
Taiyi Sect has had many fierce conflicts with these big merchants, and even killed people.
Meng Zhang spent a lot of effort to drive these big merchants out of the Taiyi Sect's sphere of influence.
Now that these big businessmen are trying to get involved in the Yuantu Prairie, Meng Zhang must do his best to stop them.
Every sect in the alliance has suffered from these large foreign merchants.
On this issue, they stood on the side of Taiyi Sect and tried their best to prevent these big businessmen from getting involved in the Yuantu Prairie.
Governor Zhang Wei could not directly intervene in the Yuantu Prairie and secretly gave some support to the actions of these big merchants.
Meng Zhang knew that these big foreign businessmen were all greedy people. As long as they show any weakness, they will immediately pounce on them and wipe out all the benefits.
So, Meng Zhang united his allies, and everyone mobilized their respective disciples to form a coalition of monks.
This coalition of monks launched a large-scale exercise.
The first item of the drill is a large-scale marching drill.
The flying boat team carrying this coalition of monks drove from the north of Jiuqu Province to the south.
During the march, the flying boat team, which covered the sky and the sun, showed off its power, fully demonstrating its power.
The True Lords of Yuanshen, headed by Meng Zhang, even practice spells in the name of it. Together they cast spells in the sky, triggering various changes in celestial phenomena.
The Taiyi Sect and other sects reacted fiercely, with a posture of starting a war if they disagreed, which made Zhang Weineng retreat.
He knew that the Taiyi Sect and other sects were just posing as threats and had no intention of starting a war.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
If any of the many monks had a hothead, acted impulsively, or accidentally misfired a gun, it could lead to a war.
Now is not the time for infighting.
Everyone is a cultivator force under the Dali Dynasty. Even if they can't help each other, they can't fight each other.
The peaceful situation in Jiuqu Province has been maintained for several years, but the threat from the Purple Sun Sect has never gone away.
A few years is just a short moment for high-level cultivators.
No one can tell when the Purple Sun Sect will take action against Jiuqu Province again.
The forces within the Dali Dynasty were killing each other, and the Ziyang Holy Sect simply couldn't wish for it.
Zhang Weineng made a promise in the name of the provincial governor that he would resolve the dispute between them fairly.
Zhang Weineng temporarily stopped supporting these big businesses and even stopped their actions.
Unfortunately, once some holes are opened, it is difficult to stop them.
These big businessmen have made good verbal promises, saying that they will definitely take the overall situation into consideration and will not fight among themselves at this time.
They have indeed ceased their activities and have no tendency to continue to expand to the Yuantu Prairie.
But their plan against Taiyi Sect has already begun secretly.
The overall situation is of course important, but compared with interests, it is nothing.
Why do they take care of the overall situation instead of asking Taiyi Sect to take care of the overall situation?
If Meng Zhang is willing to open the Yuantu Prairie to them and let everyone share this vast treasure land, then the contradiction will naturally disappear.
At this time, after the group of extraterritorial invaders occupied the territory that Zhang Wei could voluntarily give up, they had to make further progress and continue to expand into the surrounding areas.
As the supreme ruler of Jiuqu Province, Zhang Weineng will never indulge their actions, but will do his best to stop them.
Despite the threat from the Purple Sun Sect, Zhang Weineng had already begun to make various preparations to deal with these extraterritorial invaders.
He hoped that through a small-scale and short-lasting battle, he could repel the group of extraterritorial invaders, teach them a lesson, and quickly solve this problem.
Under such circumstances, he didn't care much about other things.
Meng Zhang was not afraid of the big foreign merchants. Seeing that Zhang Wei could come forward to restrain them, he stopped fighting.
Taking advantage of the rare period of peace, accelerating the development of the Yuantu Prairie and strengthening the sect's heritage and strength are top priorities.
Under the leadership of Meng Zhang, the monks' coalition successfully returned home as a victor.
Meng Zhang didn't know the secret plots of those big foreign merchants, so he focused his main energy on his own cultivation.
In the past few years, some fourth-level spiritual objects were obtained from the Shangguan family, and many of them were sent to the Heavenly Palace, or sold in exchange for Yuqing spiritual devices, or simply bartered directly, in exchange for many items that Taiyi Sect needed. thing.
Meng Zhang picked a lot of those wild moonlight flowers and used them for his own consumption.
After refining and absorbing the medicinal power of the Moonlight Spirit Flower, it will be of great benefit to Meng Zhang's soul.
Not only did he quickly recover the previous loss of his soul, but his soul continued to grow.
This time the soul suffered a heavy blow and was in an unprecedented weak state.
It was in this state that Meng Zhang's understanding of the nature of Yuanshen reached a new level.
After Yuan Shen's injury fully recovered, his cultivation quickly made a huge breakthrough.
Before he reached perfection in the middle stage of Yuanshen cultivation, he no longer had any problems in cultivation.
As long as he accumulates strength step by step and strengthens his Yuanshen, he can complete the cultivation of the middle stage of Yuanshen and gain the qualification to break through to the late stage of Yuanshen.
After years of nurturing, especially the two spiritual pets - Zhui Dian and Liuli, they have worked hard to groom them.
Meng Zhang's own mustard space has become increasingly perfect.
His mustard space is large and can accommodate many items.
It is full of vitality and can accommodate living creatures to survive inside.
The two spiritual pets, Zhui Dian and Liuli, have gained a lot of training after sorting out their spiritual energy and organizing their mustard space over the years, and their cultivation has improved greatly.
The two spiritual pets are already third-level spiritual beasts, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not much worse than ordinary golden elixir monks.
After completing the task, they had been holding it back for several years and were unwilling to stay in this small space.
At this time, the Taiyi Sect began to open up the Yuantu Prairie, and Meng Zhang simply released these two guys and let them go to the Yuantu Prairie.
First, let them relax on the vast prairie.
Secondly, with their current strength, they are enough to provide some assistance to various pioneers.
Anyway, most of the monks from the Taiyi Sect and even the Hanhai Dao League knew that these two spiritual beasts were Meng Zhang's spiritual pets.
As for the other cultivation forces currently on the Yuantu Prairie, they may not be able to pose a threat to the two third-order spiritual beasts.
He has been living under Meng Zhang's wings for many years, and his activities are also around the Taiyimen territory.
Now it is rare to be able to fly over the vast prairie, and the two little guys set off happily.
Jin Li Zhenjun, who was originally stationed at Polu Castle, recently returned to Taiyi Sect.
After years of hard training, her cultivation in the early stage of Yuan Shen was finally perfect, and she could try to hit the realm of the middle stage of Yuan Shen.
She was far ahead of Meng Zhang in achieving Yuan Shen, but her cultivation was far behind Meng Zhang. She had been holding back a lot of energy in her heart.
Now that she had the opportunity to close the gap between their cultivation levels, she was of course very happy.
After True Lord Jin Li returned to Taiyi Sect, she found a place to retreat and break through.
From the early stage of Yuanshen to the middle stage of Yuanshen, there is no big bottleneck. Breakthrough is not difficult, it mainly requires more resources.
The nine-day essence most commonly absorbed by monks in the early stages of Yuanshen can no longer meet their needs, and they need to absorb the refining jade spirit machine.
True Lord Jin Li has been a guest of the Taiyi Sect for many years, and the Taiyi Sect has never treated her badly, and the offerings to her are always distributed in full and on time.
After having the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Palace, Jinli Zhenjun also worked hard in the Heavenly Palace, running around and trying to earn Yuqing's spiritual power.
As a guest of Taiyi Sect, she received help from Meng Zhang and others, so she didn't have to run around like a headless fly like some casual cultivators.
She has accumulated a lot of Yuqing spiritual intelligence, which should be enough for her to make a breakthrough.
In order to ensure that her breakthrough was foolproof, Meng Zhang also lent her some Jade Spirit Machines for her to use during the breakthrough process.
After years of operation in the Heavenly Palace, Taiyi Sect has long since gotten rid of the situation of relying solely on the inheritance of its ancestors.
By completing various tasks, Taiyi Sect can not only earn Yuqing Spirit Machine steadily, but also accumulate a lot of Tiangong Merit Points.
Relying on these gains, Meng Zhang exchanged and purchased many useful items in Tiangong, which greatly enhanced the strength of the entire sect.
After Jin Li Zhenjun broke through in seclusion, Taiyi Sect temporarily lost one Yuan Shen’s combat power.
In terms of top-level combat power, it feels a bit stretched.
Many times, there is a feeling that there is not enough manpower to arrange it.
