Now Tai Miao is already a very close ally with Taiyi Sect.
Not to mention his identity as Meng Zhang's external incarnation, it has been difficult for him and the Taiyi Sect to leave each other because of their interests.
After this round of expansion, with a larger territory and more subordinates, Taimiao was originally planning to expand the scale of resource collection.
Now that Meng Zhang contacted him and made specific requests, asking him to prioritize collecting the three required resources, Taimiao would have to make some adjustments to the original plan.
Not long ago, Taimiao discovered several mineral veins near Hanshuang Mountain, including Yinchen Iron, Yinming Copper and other minerals.
He plans to organize an army of ghosts to mine these veins on a large scale to obtain various minerals.
After these minerals are sent to Taiyi Sect, Taiyi Sect's Qi Hall and Shengong Hall will be mobilized to build weapons, armor and war tools to equip the army of ghosts.
Now Meng Zhang needs three kinds of strange flowers and fruits, so Tai Miao has no choice but to change his original plan, send out the army of ghosts, spread them out over the vast territory, and let them search for these strange flowers and fruits with all their strength.
In order to collect the exotic flowers and fruits that Meng Zhang needed as soon as possible, Tai Miao even took action personally and joined the search team.
After Meng Zhang completed his communication with Tai Miao, he also made a special trip to the small world of Ghost Gate.
After so many years of development, this small world has taken shape and has a prosperous atmosphere.
As the degree of integration into the underworld continues to deepen, the rules of heaven and earth in the small world of the ghost gate are getting closer and closer to the underworld.
The environment here is almost similar to the underworld, and the attributes are almost the same as the underworld.
The spiritual objects planted in the originally opened elixir gardens and spiritual fields have been adjusted for a long time, and are mainly planted with Yin-attributed spiritual objects.
In fact, the various Yin-attribute resources that Taiyi Sect sends to the Yang world for sale are not entirely from the underworld, but also many from the small world of the Ghost Sect.
It is difficult to provide a stable supply of various resources through collection alone.
The quality of the underworld resources produced by Guimen Small World is slightly worse, but the advantage is that the production is stable.
Both Taiyi Sect Equipment Hall and Shengong Hall have established strongholds in the small world of Gui Sect, which are dedicated to smelting various minerals and making weapons and armor.
The rules of heaven and earth in the small world of Ghost Sect have certain suppression on cultivators from the Yang world.
If a living person stays in this place for a long time, not only will it be easily corroded by Yin Qi, but it may also cause a loss of life span.
Therefore, the Taiyi Sect disciples stationed here take turns and are replaced regularly.
In fact, due to the changes in the rules of heaven and earth in the small world of Guimen, the long-distance teleportation circle originally built here began to become difficult to use.
Wen Qiansuan has led the formation hall monks here many times to make timely adjustments to the long-distance teleportation array according to the changes in the rules of heaven and earth here.
Finally, in addition to ensuring the transmission ability of the long-distance teleportation array, Wen Qiansuan's formation cultivation has also greatly improved.
Meng Zhang took a brief walk around and was very satisfied with the situation here.
As a transfer station connecting the underworld and the Yang world, the small world of Guimen is of extremely important significance to both Taiyimen and Taimiao.
This small world has become an extremely important logistics base, playing a great role in Taimiao's foreign campaigns.
Meng Zhang fully supports Taimiao's expansion in the underworld.
The conditions in the small world of Guimen are limited, and it is difficult to improve manufacturing capabilities.
Meng Zhang hopes that in the next step, the minerals from the underworld will be transferred through the small world of Guimen and sent to Taiyimen Mountain Gate in the Yangshi, where they will be smelted and crafted.
Only a small part of Tai Miao's army of ghosts were equipped with various weapons and armor.
Enlarging the scale of equipment as much as possible is a shortcut to quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the ghost army.
This incident made Meng Zhang realize the importance of this inheritance in the underworld.
Even if there is a huge change in the Yang world and the Taiyi Sect monks can no longer stay, they can temporarily escape to the underworld and seek shelter here for a short time.
It would be great if Taimiao could establish a foundation in the underworld similar to that of the Yin Capital City of the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang maintained regular communication with Tai Miao and told each other his long-term plans for the underworld.
After Meng Zhang returned to Taiyimen Mountain Gate, he also started practicing while waiting for Taimiao to collect resources.
Meng Zhang knew that if he could break through to the Void Return Stage earlier, the Taiyi Sect would have greater room for maneuver.
Of course, Ziyang Shengzong would not let him break through so easily.
Ziyang Shengzong did not know the specific progress of Meng Zhang's cultivation, but only judged it based on the time he practiced and the strength he showed.
The average time required for monks in the Yangshen stage to break through to the Return to Void stage is about two thousand years.
According to well-documented records in the world of cultivation, it took more than eight hundred years for the most amazing and brilliant genius to break through from the Yangshen stage to the Return to Void stage.
That man was a direct descendant of the Holy Land Sect, and he had been fully trained by the Sect since he was a child.
Meng Zhang can be regarded as a genius for being able to reach this day.
But there is absolutely no one who thinks that he is qualified to be compared with the top geniuses of the Holy Land Sect.
Meng Zhang had only been a monk in the Yangshen stage for a hundred or two hundred years.
In everyone's opinion, it would take at least a thousand years for him to break through to the Void Return Stage.
This is still the most optimistic estimate.
Therefore, Ziyang Shengzong has not taken any further action against him for the time being, it is just daily suppression.
Meng Zhang himself also knew that by practicing step by step according to the sect's inherited classics, he still had a long way to go before he could break through to the Void Return Stage.
After learning the lessons from the Qiu brothers, Meng Zhang knew that he must try his best to shorten the time to break through to the Void Return Stage, so that he could unexpectedly break the suppression of the Purple Sun Sect.
According to conventional practice methods, it is almost impossible for Meng Zhang to do this. Only by finding new ways and adopting special measures can we have a glimmer of hope of success.
As for how to do it specifically, Meng Zhang only had a rough idea in his mind.
Now, he is seizing the time to practice, working hard to lay a solid foundation and prepare for the future.
Taimiao did not disappoint Meng Zhang. When he devoted himself to his work, he quickly achieved great results.
The army of ghosts searched all over the mountains and plains, even going deep into various cliffs and other dangerous places.
The collection of Yin evil fruits was the smoothest, and a lot was collected quickly. It’s just that too many are needed and it’s also the most labor-intensive.
The Grimace Flower generally grows in some dangerous places in the underworld.
Tai Miao does not hesitate to lose his army of ghosts, and does not take the lives of ordinary ghosts under him seriously.
He forcibly drove a large number of ghosts deep into these dangerous places. After paying huge casualties, he began to slowly gain results.
Only the Thick Yin Wood is too rare, and we encountered a lot of difficulties when collecting it.
Tai Miao had no choice but to lower her face, communicate with other ghosts and gods, and offer a high reward for the purchase, hoping to trade it from other ghosts and gods.
