Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 429: In Every Way Cooperation

Meng Zhang looked at Gu Yue Huaidie, knowing that she must have a plan to solve these problems. However, Gu Yue Huaidie didn't directly address the main topic but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Sect Master Meng seems to have a good relationship with Luo YeDaoist Master. It appears she has some important matters to discuss with you," Gu Yue Huaidie inquired.

Meng Zhang smiled but didn't respond. He wasn't one to gossip and wouldn't casually reveal the arrangement he had with Luo YeDaoist Master to anyone. Gu Yue Huaidie didn't mind Meng Zhang's silence and changed the subject to ask, "Now that Sect Master Meng has become a Gold Core Daoist Master, have you thought about your future plans?"

"My future plans?"

"Yes, since you achieved the Gold Core stage by absorbing the essence of the spirit marrow without utilizing a Third Rank spirit vein, it's undoubtedly a great accomplishment. However, the spirit marrow in your possession should be almost depleted by now."

"A Gold Core Daoist Master, without access to a Third Rank spirit vein, must use high-grade spirit stones for their daily cultivation needs. Over time, the consumption of high-grade spirit stones becomes immense. Even with Taiyi Sect's vast resources, it would likely be quite challenging."

Indeed, the spirit marrow in Meng Zhang's possession was much larger than Gu Yue Huaidie imagined. Even after using some of it to form his core, there was enough remaining to sustain Meng Zhang for the next 10-20 years. However, she made a valid point; the spirit marrow would eventually be depleted, and a Gold Core Daoist Master needed an enormous amount of spiritual energy daily. Without access to a Third Rank spirit vein, Meng Zhang had to consume a significant number of high-grade spirit stones to maintain his cultivation base.

In the Endless Sea of Sand, low-grade spirit stones were the primary currency, and middle-grade spirit stones were quite rare. Taiyi Sect occasionally required middle-grade spirit stones, such as for powering Second Rank puppets, and would have to pay a considerable price to obtain them.

As for high-grade spirit stones, they were exceedingly rare in the Endless Sea of Sand. The region neither produced nor traded high-grade spirit stones among the Shang Family clans. Even in the Jiuqu League, where high-grade spirit stones were mined, they were extremely scarce.

If Meng Zhang needed to use high-grade spirit stones, he would have to pay a hefty price to exchange them in Great Wind City, and there was no guarantee of obtaining the desired quantity.

Although Taiyi Sect currently held vast territories and seemingly had a good income, supporting a Gold Core Daoist Master like Meng Zhang was still a daunting task.

In the long run, Meng Zhang would need to possess a Third Rank spirit vein to permanently solve this problem. However, all the Third Rank spirit veins in the Endless Sea of Sand were already claimed. If he wanted to borrow one from someone else, it would undoubtedly come at a steep cost.

Gu Yue Huaidie gazed solemnly at Meng Zhang. "Sect Master Meng, for a Gold Core Daoist Master, a Third Rank spirit vein is indispensable. Without it, there will be many inconveniences."

Meng Zhang smiled helplessly. He understood this point well, but where could he get a Third Rank spirit vein? Should he snatch one from the Flying Swan Sect or Northern Desert Qi Family, or should he willingly become subservient and seek help from them?

Gu Yue Huaidie seemed to grasp Meng Zhang's helplessness, and with a smile, she said, "Sect Master Meng, have you forgotten about the Demon Wind Gobi?"

Indeed, the Demon Wind Gobi was teeming with Third Rank demonic beasts, and there must be Third Rank spirit veins among them. However, the number and strength of demonic beasts in the Demon Wind Gobi were overwhelming, and Meng Zhang had no ability to venture into that treacherous territory.

"Sect Master Meng, Flying Swan Sect has long been troubled by the Demon Wind Gobi, but they have been unable to resolve this issue," Gu Yue Huaidie explained. "If you and I cooperate with Flying Swan Sect, we should be able to breach the Demon Wind Gobi, killing a large number of the demonic beasts inside and allowing you to claim a Third Rank spirit vein."

"In doing so, Flying Swan Sect would solve the major problem of the Demon Wind Gobi, and you would gain access to a Third Rank spirit veina win-win situation," Meng Zhang added, knowing that Gu Yue Huaidie would also gain forgiveness from Flying Swan Sect. Gu Yue Huaidie had done Flying Swan Sect a great favor, helping them out of a difficult situation where they were caught between two enemies. As a condition for helping Flying Swan Sect, she wished to take action against the Mirage Secret Realm, and Flying Swan Sect was likely to agree.

However, Gu Yue Huaidie was meticulous in her approach. Instead of forcibly suppressing Flying Swan Sect using Gu Yue Family's influence and directly attacking the Mirage Secret Realm, she took a more gentle route, which allowed her to handle things without completely breaking ties with Flying Swan Sect.

Now, there was only one remaining question: Did Gu Yue Huaidie have the ability to break through the Primordial Spirit True Monarch's methods left behind by the Purple Gold Sect and forcibly enter the Mirage Secret Realm?

Thinking about Gu Yue Family's formidable power and mysterious background, it was highly likely that Gu Yue Huaidie had a certain degree of confidence if she dared to target the Mirage Secret Realm.

"I wonder who from Gu Yue Family will be dispatched this time to break into the Mirage Secret Realm?" Meng Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"You know that the situation behind the Endless Sea of Sand is complex, involving several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs," Gu Yue Huaidie replied. "If I, Gu Yue Huaidie, make some small moves here, it won't cause much trouble. But if our entire family of cultivators launches a massive attack, it may bring some undesirable consequences. Therefore, I need your assistance, Sect Master Meng."

Meng Zhang understood why Gu Yue Huaidie had taken a gentler approach in dealing with Flying Swan Sect. Gu Yue Family wouldn't risk getting involved in the complicated affairs of the Endless Sea of Sand, which was understandable.

But the question remained: Could he and Gu Yue Huaidie really break the Primordial Spirit True Monarch's methods left behind by the Purple Gold Sect?

Meng Zhang voiced his doubt, which also happened to be the area where Gu Yue Huaidie had the least confidence.

"While I do have a way to crack the methods left behind by the previous Purple Gold Sect seniors, I still need a few reliable helpers," Gu Yue Huaidie explained. "I will try to persuade Flying Swan Sect, and they might send a Gold Core Daoist Master. With you, we will be a little short on manpower."

"We cannot involve our family members, and while I have some connections, almost all the surrounding Gold Core Daoist Masters in the Endless Sea of Sand are aware of the situation here. No one would be willing to act without any reason."

Gu Yue Huaidie paused, deep in thought. "Do you think it's appropriate for Luo YeDaoist Master to join us?"

"Of course, if we want Luo YeDaoist Master's assistance, we need to do her a small favor first," Meng Zhang said, testing the waters. Although Luo YeDaoist Master had her plan to deal with Golden Tiger, Meng Zhang thought it would be best to have an extra layer of insurance. Golden Tiger was an experienced Third Rank demonic beast with profound Cultivation Base and formidable strength. He and Luo YeDaoist Master had only recently formed their cores, making them relatively junior among Gold Core Daoist Masters. Even with their combined efforts, it might not be enough to deal with Golden Tiger. If Gu Yue Huaidie could provide her help, it would greatly increase their chances of success. Therefore, without consulting Luo YeDaoist Master beforehand, Meng Zhang was already considering involving Gu Yue Huaidie in their plans.
