Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 339: Succeeding in Obtaining

I had heard that the patriarch of the Huang Family rarely appeared in public, and I thought it was normal. Each time a Gold Core Daoist Master closed their doors, it would take decades to emerge again.

However, after listening to Ye Feifan, I learned about the hidden truth behind the Huang Family's patriarch. Unfortunately, Meng Zhang was not a cultivator from Great Wind City, nor was he related to the Huang Family. Thus, this valuable information wasn't immediately useful to him.

Meng Zhang was weaving a web of lies in an attempt to mislead Ye Feifan and make him drop his guard. During the day, Meng Zhang had gathered information through various sources about the relationship between the Ye family and the Huang Family. He also discovered that the cultivators secretly spying on Ye Feifan were all members of the Huang Family.

The Ye family, once a large and thriving clan, had fallen on hard times, leaving only a few cultivators and some ordinary people, including Ye Feifan. All of them lived in poverty, hardship, and endured various forms of torment and humiliation. However, their lives were not in danger, as the Huang Family's cultivators were secretly watching over them. Meng Zhang might not have been exceptionally clever, but with his intelligence, he could deduce some of the underlying reasons behind this situation. While he didn't care about the historical grievances or dramas between the Ye and Huang families, he needed to know that the ancestor who parasitized Ye Feifan through the Bloodline Parasitism technique feared the Huang Family.

By grasping the key to the matter, Meng Zhang could maneuver freely and have leverage over the other party. He paid no attention to Ye Feifan's attempts to probe his identity and continued to babble, avoiding any truthful revelations.

Ye Feifan, being the one whose identity was exposed, grew increasingly impatient after a few rounds of verbal sparring with Meng Zhang.

"Speak up! What do you want from me?"

"I seek nothing more than the opportunity to exchange ideas with a senior cultivator like Brother Ye."

Seeing the dark expression and obvious killing intent from Ye Feifan, Meng Zhang chuckled and stopped the nonsense.

"One of the younger generations in my family is close to completing the Refining Qi stage and is about to reach Foundation Building. However, the number of Foundation Building Pills refined by our family this time is not enough, and we must prioritize those with better potential."

"As an elder, I can't just stand by and do nothing. I had no choice but to come to Brother Ye and ask for help. I hope Brother Ye can be kind enough to lend us a Foundation Building Pill temporarily. Please rest assured that I will return it as soon as we obtain one."

"How do you know I have a Foundation Building Pill? Have you been watching me for some time now?"

"No, I never disclosed any information about possessing a Foundation Building Pill. Not many people know about the ones left behind by the Ye family. It seems your family's relationship with my Ye family runs deep."

"Let me think... Which family are you from? Li, Zhang, or Wang?"

Meng Zhang smiled and remained silent. He certainly wouldn't reveal that he deduced this information through the Grand Evolving Fortune.

If you like guessing, then feel free to speculate; the more outrageous, the better.

Seeing that Meng Zhang wouldn't speak, Ye Feifan stopped guessing.

Finally, Meng Zhang stated his purpose, and Ye Feifan felt relieved instead of threatened.

Although the Foundation Building Pill was precious, it wasn't indispensable for him at the moment. If he could resolve this matter with a Foundation Building Pill, it would indeed be a good thing. However, he was concerned that the cultivator in front of him might have insatiable demands and that one pill wouldn't be enough for him.

"Only one Foundation Building Pill, it's no big deal. Consider it as my way of making a friend with you. But how can you guarantee that once you get the Foundation Building Pill, you won't betray me to the Huang Family and claim a reward from them?"

"That's simple. I can make a blood oath never to reveal any information about Brother Ye," Meng Zhang said cheerfully. Although he disapproved of Ye Feifan, he didn't necessarily want to kill him. As a sect master, he always considered matters from the perspective of his sect's and his own interests.

Ye Feifan agreed to Meng Zhang's request, seemingly without much thought. He went into one of the rooms within the courtyard and returned after a while, throwing a jade bottle to Meng Zhang without much fuss.

Meng Zhang took the jade bottle, uncorked it, and poured out a pill. This meticulously preserved pill would retain its medicinal efficacy even after hundreds of years.

After thoroughly inspecting the Foundation Building Pill to confirm its authenticity, Meng Zhang wasted no time. He handed Ye Feifan a blood oath covenant, which is a significant means for cultivators to trust each other on many occasions.

Over the years, Meng Zhang had acquired several blood oath covenants through various means. Most of them were stored in Taiyi Sect's treasury, and he carried two with him at all times.

Once Ye Feifan verified the covenant's legitimacy, he returned it to Meng Zhang. Meng Zhang then solemnly swore, vowing that he and his people would never directly or indirectly reveal any information related to Ye Feifan.

As a seasoned cultivator, Ye Feifan didn't play any word games or attempt to deceive Meng Zhang. He was well-aware of the significance of such a covenant.

After Meng Zhang finished his oath, a small ghostly figure flew out from the covenant and stared deeply at him before vanishing completely. Simultaneously, the covenant self-combusted into green smoke and disappeared.

Although Meng Zhang had utilized blood oath covenants before and experienced this scene many times, he still felt a chill when the ghostly figure stared at him.

With each getting what they needed, the transaction was complete, and both parties were satisfied.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye. I will definitely return you a Foundation Building Pill. As the saying goes, borrowing and returning won't be difficult."

Meng Zhang teased, and Ye Feifan rolled his eyes, thinking that Meng Zhang would probably ask to borrow again.
