Chapter 491: Sword Cultivator

Meng Zhang, as a Sect Master, had all kinds of people in his sect with different personalities and backgrounds.

It was impossible for everyone to be satisfied with him as the Sect Master, and he couldn't please everyone either.

Every time Meng Zhang met with Delicate WaterSpirit General, he could feel her condescending attitude from her unruly eyes. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still showed his broad-minded side and didn't argue with her. Without Meng Zhang asking, Deep EarthSpirit General stated his purpose.

It turned out that Delicate WaterSpirit General could refine some pills using the Ling Water Pregnancy Dan technique, and some of these pills could repair the soul of the sleeping Guardian Spirit General, which had a great effect.

Recently, she had been collecting various spiritual herbs to refine these pills. At this time, it became apparent that Taiyi Sect's reserves were shallow. The treasury lacked third-rank items such as third-rank spiritual objects, third-rank magic tools, and third-rank pills, which was almost equivalent to having none.

Due to the short creation time of the sect's spiritual herb garden, there was a lack of spiritual herbs with sufficient age. Whether it was collecting in the wild or purchasing from outside, the quantity was not sufficient, especially when it came to certain specific spiritual herbs, which made it even more difficult.

Delicate WaterSpirit General had spent a lot of effort but had not been able to collect all the necessary spiritual herbs.

This time, the Four Seas Building in Great Wind City was going to hold a grand auction, which included a special section for spiritual herbs, and the herbs that Delicate WaterSpirit General needed were among them. The three Guardian Spirit Generals were all elders in Taiyi Sect and had high status.

They each had their own responsibilities and were very accomplished in cultivation. They not only obtained many sect rewards but also had other means of earning a large amount of spirit stones.

However, truly valuable spiritual herbs were rare. Once they appeared at the auction, they would immediately attract everyone's attention and become the subject of fierce competition. With the financial resources of the three Guardian Spirit Generals, they were not confident that they could definitely obtain the spiritual herbs they wanted.

Delicate WaterSpirit General, who had always been reluctant to have much contact with Meng Zhang, had to ask for help from Deep EarthSpirit General and come to Meng Zhang for assistance. Taiyi Sect now had a large family business, and trade with Great Wind City was also hot.

Although there were many places where spirit stones were used, there was no problem in temporarily mobilizing a large amount of spirit stones. These Guardian Spirit Generals had a deep bond with each other. After each Guardian Spirit General awakened, they would try their best to awaken their companions.

Especially now that Taiyi Sect was developing well, the three Guardian Spirit Generals had more time and energy to help their companions. These Guardian Spirit Generals were all powerful Gold Core level experts in the past.

Even if their strength had not fully recovered, they could still play a huge role. Every additional Guardian Spirit General would increase Taiyi Sect's strength.

Meng Zhang fully agreed with the idea of awakening the Guardian Spirit Generals and provided full support. Without any hesitation, Meng Zhang agreed to Deep EarthSpirit General's request and gave him a warrant to collect the required spirit stones from General Affairs Hall Master Meng Mingyuan.

Meng Zhang even declared that this amount of spirit stones would be recorded in the sect's accounts and did not need to be repaid by Deep EarthSpirit General and others. Even Delicate WaterSpirit General, who had always been dissatisfied with Meng Zhang, softened her expression a little when she heard Meng Zhang's words.

Meng Zhang was curious about these Guardian Spirit Generals. However, including Deep EarthSpirit General, they were not willing to talk much about the past. Unable to resist his curiosity, Meng Zhang asked how many remaining souls of the Guardian Spirit Generals were still asleep inside the pearl and what their origins and abilities were.

Deep EarthSpirit General clearly told Meng Zhang that there was only one remaining soul of a Guardian Spirit General still asleep inside the pearl. Including the three who had already awakened, this pearl could provide a total of four Guardian Spirit Generals for Taiyi Sect.

Taiyi Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a top sect that had once been glorious. Even though it had fallen to a low point, it still left something behind for future generations. Meng Zhang thought to himself.

When Meng Zhang asked about the origin and abilities of the Guardian Spirit General who had not yet awakened, Deep EarthSpirit General hesitated.

Delicate WaterSpirit General, who was always fearless and unruly, showed obvious fear on her face and a hint of dread flashed in her eyes. Before Deep EarthSpirit General could speak, Delicate WaterSpirit General cursed fiercely, "What does that mad swordsman have to say?"

Upon hearing Delicate WaterSpirit General's words, Deep EarthSpirit General immediately closed his mouth and no longer answered Meng Zhang's questions. "Mad swordsman," Meng Zhang paused for a moment.

Being called a mad swordsman indicated that the Guardian Spirit General was likely skilled in swordsmanship and might even be a rare Sword Cultivator. As far as Meng Zhang knew, Taiyi Sect was not a sect that focused on Sword Cultivation, nor did it have any renowned Sword Cultivation inheritance.

Meng Zhang wanted to ask further, but after looking at the expressions of Deep EarthSpirit General and Delicate WaterSpirit General, he knew it was useless and temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

Delicate WaterSpirit General's words and actions did not deceive Meng Zhang, who was adept at understanding people's hearts. On the surface, she cursed fiercely, as if she despised the Guardian Spirit General.

However, from her actions of running around and wholeheartedly trying to awaken the Guardian Spirit General, it was clear that her feelings towards that Guardian Spirit General were extraordinary. Meng Zhang couldn't be bothered with the private matters of these Guardian Spirit Generals. After asking Deep EarthSpirit General a few other questions, he let them leave.

Not long after Deep EarthSpirit General and Delicate WaterSpirit General left, the newly appointed Secret Hall Master, An Moran, came to pay respects to Meng Zhang. Although the time he had spent under Jue Ying's guidance was not long, An Moran's demeanor was noticeably different from before. Previously, he had a dull personality and was cold-hearted. Now, he had become very steady and exuded a somewhat sinister aura.

Thanks to Meng Zhang's full support and abundant resources, as well as the ability to mobilize the entire Taiyi Sect, the Secret Hall had established a preliminary framework and had begun to play a role in just over two years. The main members of the Secret Hall were selected from disciples of Taiyi Sect.

Their training time was short, and they were not yet capable of much. They still lacked the necessary experience to deal with external matters, especially when facing opponents like the Flying Swan Sect. However, within the Hanhai Alliance, they could be put to use due to the advantageous circumstances.

Recently, there had been a major upheaval within the three cultivation forces of the Hanhai Alliance. The previous high-ranking members had been completely cleared out, and new leaders had taken their place, with An Moran leading the Secret Hall. These three forces were officially affiliated with Taiyi Sect, but in reality, they had been colluding with the Flying Swan Sect all along, and could even be considered undercover agents for the Flying Swan Sect.

Although An Moran still appeared somewhat immature, and the Secret Hall was newly established, with Jue Ying's guidance, they managed to catch the tail of these three forces and investigate their details.

Although An Moran's methods were a bit rough and lacked finesse, they still had an effect. On one hand, it trained the disciples of the Secret Hall and gave them practical experience. On the other hand, it served as a warning to all members of the alliance, especially those who were wavering in their loyalty.
