Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 270: Travel

Without saying much, Wen Qiansun silently accepted the Foundation Building Pill, cherishing Yang Xueyi's good intentions in his heart. Meng Zhang had wanted to encourage him with a few words, but he thought better of it. With Wen Qiansun's determination, there was no need for empty words.

Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi separately shared their experiences and lessons in breaking through the Foundation Building stage with Wen Qiansun. Meng Zhang emphasized that each Cultivator's circumstances were different, and one should not rigidly apply the experiences of others. Those experiences could serve as references at most, but when it came to critical moments, one needed to make decisions based on their own actual situation and judge accordingly.

In fact, after Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi both achieved Foundation Building, they recorded a considerable amount of content regarding breaking through the Foundation Building stage and placed it in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. As long as disciples in the sect spent some merit points, they could borrow and read it.

Since Wen Qiansun was preparing to break through Foundation Building, he had naturally read this content before. However, hearing it again directly from Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi gave him new insights.

Having said all that needed to be said, after bidding farewell to Meng Zhang and the others, Wen Qiansun began his seclusion to break through.

Meng Zhang couldn't help but worry about Wen Qiansun's breakthrough this time. Although his aptitude was similar to Yang Xueyi's, he was much older. Moreover, before this attempt, he didn't have enough time to refine his true qi due to his age. Nevertheless, Wen Qiansun was resolute, and since he had already started his seclusion, Meng Zhang had to temporarily set aside his concerns.

Everything in Taiyi Sect remained as usual, and the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand still maintained an eerie silence.

Meng Zhang felt that he couldn't just passively wait for the situation to change. He decided to go out and experience the current state of the Endless Sea of Sand personally, hoping to gain new information.

After Yang Xueyi's successful Foundation Building, the overall strength of the sect's higher-ups was abundant. With the increasing number of Taiyi Sect disciples and their cultivation bases slowly growing, the shortage of manpower within the sect began to ease.

Although the internal structure of the sect was relatively simple, it was still well-organized. The various Hall Masters were capable of managing their respective responsibilities. Even if Meng Zhang was absent for an extended period, the sect would still operate smoothly.

Meng Zhang informed the higher-ups of his intention to go on a journey and arranged all the necessary matters before quietly leaving Taiyi Sect.

First, he visited Singing Sand City, intending to make contact with the Shi Family cultivators, especially Gu Tanghai.

Singing Sand City had become even more prosperous over the years. Its location was excellent, which was why it had been targeted for development by Twin Success Valley.

After Flying Swan Sect lifted the blockade on Forest Spring Watch, Singing Sand City began to develop normally. Especially in the past few years, the turmoil caused by the sand monsters in the vicinity of Flying Swan Sect's territory affected a wide area. Many cultivators sought refuge and migrated to Firewell Market and Singing Sand City.

In addition to a large number of loose cultivators, there were also many disciples and family members from various sects and clans who had been relocated in advance.

Thanks to this war, Singing Sand City's development skyrocketed, gaining immense benefits from the war's spoils. Although the war had ended, there were still many cultivators lingering here, unable to leave yet.

Walking through the streets of Singing Sand City, Meng Zhang couldn't help but admire Gu Tanghai's management capabilities. As Singing Sand City's commercial activities recovered, Taiyi Sect began to recoup its investments there and gained significant profits from its market share.

Meng Zhang glanced at Singing Sand Mountain in the distance. Apart from Singing Sand City, the main source of income was the wind attribute spiritual material called Xunfeng Stone produced within Singing Sand Mountain. Regrettably, since Taiyi Sect, Shi Family, and others had become vassals of Flying Swan Sect, the majority of the Xunfeng Stone's production went to Forest Spring Watch.

After the downfall of the Golden Blade Sect, its share of Singing Sand City and Xunfeng Stone silently fell into the hands of the Forest Spring Watch. Of course, Meng Zhang's slight regret was merely a case of human greed.

Compared to the era of Twin Success Valley's rule, Forest Spring Watch had become much more lenient. During Twin Success Valley's reign, all Xunfeng Stones belonged to them exclusively. Apart from contributing a portion to the Flying Swan Sect as an offering, other sects and families had no chance of getting involved.

Singing Sand City's benefits were only shared with a few powers like the Forest Spring Watch and Liu Family, apart from the Flying Swan Sect. The subordinate sects could only dream of any benefits.

Being treated as equals by the Flying Swan Sect, the Forest Spring Watch didn't need to offer them any offerings or benefits. This allowed Forest Spring Watch to gain some advantages that it could use to win over its subordinate powers.

From this perspective, Taiyi Sect, as a subordinate of the Forest Spring Watch, did indeed benefit. Unfortunately, Forest Spring Watch's foundation was too shallow, and its fate relied solely on Guang ZhiDaoist Master.

Facing the deep-rooted and powerful Flying Swan Sect, even if they allied with other powers, the outcome of any conflict was uncertain. Meng Zhang knew that choosing the wrong side at a critical moment would lead to a disastrous end.

Therefore, he had always been reluctant to fully align with Forest Spring Watch's cause. After strolling around Singing Sand City, he arrived at the Hengyuan Building established by Taiyi Sect.

Although Hengyuan Building was not as renowned as Flying Swan Building and Four Seas Building, it had made a name for itself in Singing Sand City and gained several loyal customers.

Meng Zhang didn't go inside but observed from outside before leaving to visit Gu Tanghai. Unfortunately, he arrived at an unfortunate time, as Gu Tanghai was currently away from Singing Sand City.

Shi Weida, who was in charge of the affairs here, seemed clueless and unaware of many things. After chatting briefly with him, Meng Zhang took his leave. For this trip, Meng Zhang brought not only his Red Feathered Eagle for riding but also a First Rank flying boat, just in case. Of course, he mostly used the Red Feathered Eagle for travel when alone.

Meng Zhang mounted the Red Feathered Eagle and left Singing Sand City. Twin Success Valley and Liu Family's territories, which now belonged to Forest Spring Watch, didn't interest him.

He circled around and headed straight for the Firewell Market. If the war's spoils were worth one point for Singing Sand City, then Firewell Market gained benefits worth at least ten points.

Singing Sand City, which primarily catered to Refining Qi cultivators, was relatively lower in level. You wouldn't even find a single Foundation Building cultivator during a stroll in Singing Sand City, but in Firewell Market, it was a common sight.

Meng Zhang didn't rush into Firewell Market; instead, he rode the Red Feathered Eagle and observed the surroundings. Earthfire Sect's main gate wasn't far from Firewell Market.

Due to Earthfire Sect's intimidating reputation, cultivators usually avoided approaching it without reason, so as not to provoke a group of lunatics.

Meng Zhang didn't get close but used his Deception Breaking Eye from a distance to observe. However, he found no useful information. This wasn't surprising since it wouldn't be so easy to uncover the situation at Earthfire Sect.
