Chapter 130: Agreement

When the dark and demonic energy in the Solar True Flame was completely burned away, the golden flame also extinguished. There was a trace of regret in Meng Zhang's eyes, as even with his current Cultivation Base, it would still take a considerable amount of time to refine such a Solar True Flame.

Luo Ye looked at Meng Zhang and remained silent for a while before regretfully saying, "Unfortunately, your Cultivation Base at the Refining Qi stage is still too weak, and the power of the refined Solar True Flame is insufficient. To completely expel the demonic energy, much more effort is needed."

Meng Zhang felt a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

After another moment of silence, Luo Ye spoke again, "Sect Master Meng, the Cultivation Technique you practice is not just Solar True Qi; it also includes Lunar True Qi. Although I don't know the name of this Cultivation technique, I speculate that it must be a superior Cultivation method that incorporates both yin and yang."

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhang's intentionally hiddenCultivation was seen through by the woman in front of him. Her insight was truly terrifying, surpassing any Foundation Building stage cultivator Meng Zhang had encountered before.

"You are correct. TheCultivation I practice is the 'Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra.' It requires simultaneous cultivation of Solar True Qi and Lunar True Qi, and eventually, they merge into Sun and Moon True Qi."

Since she already figured it out, Meng Zhang admitted it straightforwardly.

"I've heard of the 'Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra.' It is indeed a rare and superiorCultivation method."

"The Taiyi Sect truly deserves to be a grand sect inherited from the Middle-Earth Continent. Although it may appear to have declined, it still possesses such an exceptionalCultivation inheritance."

Listening to Luo Ye's admiration, Meng Zhang didn't respond. He couldn't tell her that the Taiyi Sect's inheritance had long been lost and that he acquired it again from the Trial Ground.

"Sect Master Meng, you are only in your early twenties, right?" Luo Ye asked.

"I'm twenty-three this year." It was not something to hide; anyone could easily find out.

"At the age of twenty-three, you have already cultivated to the eighth level of the Refining Qi stage, and your foundation is solid, with pure true qi."

"It seems that Sect Master Meng's talent should be excellent, at least possessing a middle-grade spiritual root. Moreover, Sect Master Meng is diligent in cultivation and never slackens. Truly a promising talent."

"You flatter me," Meng Zhang said, feeling unsure of the woman's intentions.

"With your current Cultivation Base, your help is limited for me. But if you can reach the Foundation Building stage, there is hope to completely remove the demonic energy within me."

"With my current physical condition, I can hold on for at most fifteen more years. If you can reach the Foundation Building stage within these fifteen years, it won't be too late to help me then."

"Do you have the confidence to reach the Foundation Building stage within fifteen years?"

Meng Zhang initially wanted to give a casual response, but looking into Luo Ye's eyes, he found it hard to be insincere.

After careful thought, Meng Zhang replied cautiously, "Foundation Building is something no one can be one hundred percent certain about. Even legendary Heaven Grade spiritual root cultivators have a very small chance of failure during Foundation Building."

"All I can say is that I will do my best. Even if there were no such matter with Senior, I would still strive to cultivate and achieve Foundation Building as soon as possible."

"As for successfully reaching Foundation Building within fifteen years, I am quite confident."

Meng Zhang's words were still somewhat modest. With his high-grade spiritual root talent, it would only take a few years for him to complete Refining Qi. He was also highly confident that he could achieve Foundation Building without using Foundation Building Pills, which would save him time and effort.

He only needed to refine his true qi, strengthen his body, and adjust his state to make a breakthrough into the Foundation Building stage. The possibility of him succeeding within fifteen years was very high.

After hearing Meng Zhang's response, Luo Ye said, "Sect Master Meng, are you willing to make a pact with me?"

"As long as you successfully achieve Foundation Building within fifteen years and come to help me expel the demonic energy, I will grant you a tremendous benefit."

Meng Zhang didn't speak and didn't inquire about the specific benefit. Given his personality, since he had already promised to help Jue Ying once and couldn't solve the issue due to his Cultivation Base's inadequacy, he would definitely make up for it after reaching the Foundation Building stage. Of course, when facing such a favorable offer, he wouldn't falsely reject it.

"I have some connection with the head of the Black Market. In the future, I can let Jue Ying provide Taiyi Sect with intelligence information for free."

Luo Ye's first condition greatly appealed to Meng Zhang. Whether it was Taiyi Sect or Meng Zhang himself, what they lacked most at the moment was channels for acquiring various types of intelligence. The grocery store Zhang Zhanlin had opened in Singing Sand City, with its connections and resources from Li Xuan, could only gather some general information. Obtaining truly secret intelligence was difficult.

Having experienced the influence of the Black Market, Meng Zhang knew how vast and rich its intelligence sources were. Acquiring information from the Black Market would undoubtedly be a great advantage.

"This is just a down payment. As for the real benefit, I will tell you when the time comes."

After hearing this, Meng Zhang felt quite excited. Luo Ye's approach had truly piqued his interest. Without mentioning the future benefits, just having access to intelligence was enough to prompt him to help.

"Senior, you are too kind. Even without discussing the benefits, since I promised Miss Jue Ying, I will absolutely not go back on my word. When I successfully achieve Foundation Building in the future, I will certainly help Senior expel the demonic energy," Meng Zhang gave his commitment.

"Good, then we have an agreement. The pact is valid for fifteen years from now," Luo Ye said loudly.

With the agreement reached, their relationship grew closer. Luo Ye didn't voluntarily reveal her background, and Meng Zhang wisely refrained from asking.

Based on Meng Zhang's impression, Luo Ye didn't appear to be a wicked person. Moreover, her background was evidently extraordinary.

Luo Ye was not one who enjoyed small talk and was about to dismiss Meng Zhang when she suddenly remembered something. She took out a map from her body and handed it to Meng Zhang.

"This is a map left behind by a senior of the Purple Gold Sect."

"This senior was broad-minded and fond of helping others. There should be many useful items in the cave he left behind."

"Originally, after obtaining this map, I intended to let Jue Ying go. As it's our first meeting, and I didn't prepare any gift, I can only make do with this."

"Sect Master Meng, why don't you and Jue Ying go together? As for the items inside, you can decide how to distribute them."

Meng Zhang accepted the map and noticed that Luo Ye seemed unwilling to say more, so he took his leave.

Meng Zhang waited outside the stone chamber for a while before Jue Ying came out from inside. The two of them left Luo Ye's residence together.
