For cultivators, breaking through the Yuanshen stage is a huge difficulty.
Once you achieve Yuan Shen, your longevity, cultivation, status, etc. will all usher in a leap forward.
Even if they can only increase the chance by a tiny amount, they are often willing to pay any price.
You must know that treasures that can assist in breaking through the Yuan Shen stage, including pills, are very rare in the world of cultivation.
If Taiyi Sect didn't have access to the Heavenly Palace, there really would be no way to occasionally obtain such treasures.
For example, Meng Zhang's second disciple An Xiaoran, as a fourth-level alchemy master, can already refine many fourth-level elixirs.
Taiyi Sect concentrated the power of the entire sect to collect various elixirs for it.
However, no matter how hard the Taiyi Sect tried their best, they could not collect those elixirs that could help them break through to the Yuan Shen stage.
This type of elixir recipe is often in the hands of the Holy Land sect.
On weekdays, there are at most a small amount of such elixirs on the market.
Every time such pills appear, they are quickly sold out.
As for the prescription, it will never appear on the market.
If Taiyi Sect can possess the sacred stone of Wanhe Mountain, it will really lay the foundation of the sect for thousands of years.
At this moment, even with Meng Zhang's temperament, he couldn't help but have the idea of killing people to seize the treasure.
He himself no longer needs this sacred stone.
But as the leader of a sect, he has to think about his disciples and the future of the sect.
Meng Zhang looked calm on the surface, but in fact he finally suppressed his evil thoughts and continued talking to the True Lord of the Ridge.
Seeing Meng Zhang's nonchalant expression, the True Lord of Mountain Ridge sighed secretly and continued to tell.
When Lord Shanzhong took control of Wanhe Mountain, this sacred stone was naturally also in the hands of Lord Shanzhong's group.
Even if the True Lord of Shanjige is the head of Wanhe Mountain, he is not qualified to interfere with matters related to the sacred stone.
Of course, anyone with some brains knows the importance of this sacred stone.
After the True Lord of Mountain Ridge took control of Wanhe Mountain, the first thing he thought of was this sacred stone.
At that time, the person responsible for guarding the sacred stone was Shanbei Zhenjun in the gate.
Shanbei Zhenjun always kept a low profile in the sect and had little contact with other monks.
Although he has the trust of Shanzhong Zhenjun, he has no conflict with Shanzhong Zhenjun, the leader.
When the news of Shanzhong's death spread, and Shanzhong Zhenjun and Shanliang Zhenjun were competing for power in the sect, Shanbei Zhenjun also adopted a neutral attitude and did not help the two.
After the True Lord of the Mountain Ridge came to power, he faced heavy losses among the monks inside the sect, and there was a formidable enemy called the Songfeng Sect outside the sect, and there were even monsters raging.
In this situation of internal and external difficulties, of course he could not easily move Shanbei Zhenjun and cause internal strife in the sect.
Anyway, the True Lord Shanbei has always been guarding the sacred stone. He does not compete with the True Lord Mountain Ridge for power and never comes out to cause trouble.
The True Lord of the Ridge let him continue to guard the sacred stone and ignored him.
But when he learned from Meng Zhang that the soul of Shanzhong Zhenjun still existed, he immediately thought of the sacred stone.
According to what True Lord Shanji knew, the stone tire produced by the sacred stone not only helped the Wanhe Mountain monks break through the Yuanshen stage, but also had the function of warming and nourishing the Yuanshen.
In addition, the True Lord of the Mountain Ridge also vaguely knew that after being directly refined, this sacred stone could help Yuanshen monks reshape their physical bodies.
However, this sacred stone is related to the foundation of Wanhe Mountain, and the monks in the sect will never allow anyone to use the sacred stone in this way.
If someone really dares to do this, everyone in the door will immediately attack him.
Shanzhi Zhenjun thought of Shanzhong Zhenjun's always selfish temperament.
After he and Meng Zhang separated, he rushed back to Wanhe Mountain as quickly as possible and came to the forbidden area where the sacred stone was placed.
Shanbei Zhenjun, who guarded the sacred stone, initially did not allow the mountain ridge Zhenjun, the leader, to approach the forbidden area.
The True Lord of the Mountain Ridge immediately knew that something was wrong. Seeing that the leader's majesty could not suppress the True Lord of the Mountain Back, he had no choice but to fight with him.
Both of them were monks in the middle stage of Yuan Shen, and they were inseparable from each other for a while.
Fortunately, both of them were worried about causing too much damage to the surroundings and accidentally damaging the sacred stone, so they were very measured in their actions.
After falling to the disadvantage, the Mountain Back Master had to give in and allowed the Mountain Ridge Master to rush to the sacred stone.
Seeing the sacred stone, the True Lord of Mountain Ridge finally knew that his worst suspicion had come true.
The soul of Lord Yamazhong had actually sneaked into the divine stone long ago and was trying to refine the divine stone.
No matter whether Shanji Zhenjun was pleading with his great righteousness or the future of the sect, Shanzhong Zhenjun could not be made to stop.
The Mountain Ridge True Lord wanted to expel the Shanzhong True Lord, but there was the Mountain Back True Lord watching eagerly beside him, and he was even more worried about damaging the sacred stone in the process.
Yamashigema's soul is in the sacred stone, and he uses the sacred stone to protect himself.
Lord Shanzhong, who was afraid of rats, tried every means, but could not stop Lord Shanzhong.
True Lord Mountain Ridge also thought of summoning other monks in the sect to besiege True Lord Shan Zhong.
However, a large part of Wanhe Mountain's power is currently serving under Xiao Qiao.
If this part of the power is mobilized rashly, it will definitely arouse Xiao Qiao's suspicion.
The matter of the sacred stone is of great importance, and the True Lord Shanji really cannot trust Xiao Qiao's character.
Even though a holy land sect like the Purple Sun Sect is a righteous leader, they are usually aloof and aboveboard.
But after discovering a heavy treasure, they will also kill people to seize the treasure.
Meng Zhang fully recognized the Mountain Ridge Lord's caution against Xiao Qiao and the Purple Sun Sect.
In addition, Lord Yamashige's soul is protected by the divine stone, and it is difficult to expel him by ordinary means without damaging the divine stone.
Fortunately, this sacred stone is not that easy to refine. Even if the soul of a great monk like Lord Yamashige wants to completely refine this sacred stone, it will not be accomplished overnight.
It was precisely because he discovered that the progress of refining the sacred stone was slow, so Lord Shanzhong had enough time to slowly plan.
During this period, he could even spend a lot of time dealing with Xiao Qiao.
Although the speed of Shanshige Zhenjun's soul in refining the sacred stone is very slow, with the accumulation of time and effort, he will always succeed one day.
If he really achieves his goal, the foundation of Wanhe Mountain will be completely severed.
As the leader of a sect, the True Lord of Mountain Ridge will never allow this to happen.
However, he alone, and even the power within Wanhe Mountain, could no longer solve this problem.
After thinking about it, he tried every possible means. Recently, as the speed of refining the sacred stone has accelerated, Lord Shanzhong had to make a difficult decision and had no choice but to ask Meng Zhang for help.
Before he met Meng Zhang, he knew clearly that letting Meng Zhang know this secret would be very risky.
If Meng Zhang covets this sacred stone, then Wanhe Mountain will face a formidable opponent amid civil strife.
But the True Lord of the Ridge really had no other choice.
In contrast, asking Meng Zhang for help is the best choice among all options.
