Chapter 508: 0 Grass Pavilion
Especially after the news from the Endless Sea of Sand gradually reached these territories, the disciples of the Flying Swan Sect on these lands became restless and anxious.
The Taiyi Sect suddenly turned hostile and sent a large number of people to their doorstep, and these cultivators couldn't resist at all.
Moreover, everyone knows that the Flying Swan Sect, in its current state, can't afford to spare any resources for this outpost in the Demon Wind Gobi.
The Flying Swan Sect doesn't even have enough strength to defend the Yellow Sand Ridge, let alone provide reinforcements here.
The disciples of the Flying Swan Sect here are basically abandoned by the sect.
However, Meng Zhang has a long-term vision. He didn't kill these Flying Swan Sect disciples just because the sect suffered a temporary setback.
His orders to the Taiyi Sect cultivators he dispatched were to try not to harm these Flying Swan Sect disciples and simply drive them away.
As long as there is no excessive killing and no blood feud, there is still room for maneuver between Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect in the future.
Meng Zhang hasn't forgotten that the True Monarch Tian Zhu stands behind the Flying Swan Sect. Who knows what tricks True Monarch Tian Zhu might have up his sleeve when the Flying Swan Sect is pushed to the brink?
It's advantageous to take advantage of the Flying Swan Sect now; it's not yet time to completely break ties with them.
There are no powerful external enemies in the Demon Wind Gobi, and the cultivation base of the remaining disciples of the Flying Swan Sect here is not strong, with only a few Foundation Building stage cultivators.
The Taiyi Sect cultivators have an overwhelming advantage and easily subdue the Flying Swan Sect disciples who have little fighting spirit.
Then, all the Flying Swan Sect disciples are gathered together and sent off by the Taiyi Sect cultivators as a gesture of farewell.
After leaving the Demon Wind Gobi, where they go and what fate awaits them is no longer Taiyi Sect's concern.
The area of the Flying Swan Sect in the Demon Wind Gobi is not as large as that of the Taiyi Sect, but the resources here are more abundant and fertile.
Devouring such a large piece of fat, the Taiyi Sect feels satisfied from top to bottom.
Even if the entire Hanhai Alliance's forces are deployed here, it would be difficult to completely digest such a vast and fertile territory.
Due to the changes in the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand, under Meng Zhang's orders, the Taiyi Sect has slowly been migrating towards the Demon Wind Gobi.
Various parts of the sect, a large number of cultivators, and a massive number of mortals have started to migrate to the Demon Wind Gobi.
Meng Zhang's idea is simple. If the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand continues to change and Taiyi Sect finds it difficult to hold onto its territory there, they will retreat to the Demon Wind Gobi.
The Demon Wind Gobi is far more fertile than the Endless Sea of Sand and more conducive to human survival.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Meng Zhang will not easily give up Taiyi Sect's territory in the Endless Sea of Sand.
After all, there are many unique resources of great value in the Endless Sea of Sand.
The elite cultivators dispatched by the Taiyi Sect constantly monitor the next moves of the Fire Cloud Sect and continuously transmit the information back to the Grand Lion Ridge.
After some time and effort, Meng Zhang finally broke the restriction on the small attic and gained a preliminary understanding of how to use this treasure.
This treasure is called the Hundred Grass Pavilion, a Third Rank high-grade spatial magic tool.
After infusing True Essence into it, the Hundred Grass Pavilion flew into the air, transformed, and landed on the ground, becoming a real attic.
The attic has six floors, each of which is an independent space.
Inside the entire attic, there are many rooms of various sizes.
Some rooms are specially designed alchemy rooms with various equipment for alchemy.
Each alchemy room has an alchemy furnace.
The worst of these alchemy furnaces is a Second Rank alchemy furnace, while the best is a Third Rank high-grade alchemy furnace.
The best alchemist in the Taiyi Sect is currently only a Second Rank Alchemist and does not have the qualifications to use a Third Rank alchemy furnace.
Alchemy performed by alchemists in these specially designed alchemy rooms receives significant enhancements.
In addition, some rooms store many well-prepared spirit medicines.These precious elixirs have been preserved using special methods, and despite the passage of hundreds of years, their medicinal properties are still intact. Meng Zhang, with limited knowledge of alchemy, roughly counted them. There are various types of elixirs inside, suitable for refining all kinds of pills. Not only are there various elixirs for refining Foundation Building Pills, but there are also many elixirs that can be used to refine Third Rank pills. Just the acquisition of these elixirs alone makes Meng Zhang's trip worthwhile.
In addition, the Hundred Grass Pavilion also comes with a huge medicinal garden. It needs to be placed on a Third Rank spirit vein in order to unfold the medicinal garden. Meng Zhang's initial intuition was correct - the Hundred Grass Pavilion is an important part of Myriad Layers Peak and a valuable treasure that can exist independently.
The spiritual energy provided by the Third Rank spirit vein in Grand Lion Ridge is limited, and it is currently only sufficient for Meng Zhang's cultivation. If it is used to accommodate the Hundred Grass Pavilion and fully utilize its effects, it would be somewhat insufficient. Moreover, Meng Zhang is currently in a period of rapid progress in their cultivation base and is unwilling to give up the spirit vein, which would delay their own cultivation.
Meng Zhang can only hope that the original location where Myriad Layers Peak was placed has not suffered too much damage to the spirit vein. Unfortunately, things in the world do not always go as planned. After a careful survey by the Deep Earth Spirit General, it was discovered that when Myriad Layers Peak exploded, the Third Rank spirit vein closely connected to it was also affected and severely damaged. Now, not only has the spiritual energy been depleted, but even the earth veins have shifted.
Upon hearing the report from the Deep Earth Spirit General, Meng Zhang felt heartbroken. The spirit vein near the Crow's Nest was originally the stronghold of the White Lion Demon King. It is many times stronger than the Third Rank spirit vein in Grand Lion Ridge. The Third Rank spirit vein in Grand Lion Ridge is only enough to support Meng Zhang alone. If another Gold Core Daoist Master appears in the Taiyi Sect in the future, they will once again face the dilemma of insufficient spiritual energy.
If it is still a long way off for the Taiyi Sect to produce another Gold Core Daoist Master, then the immediate priority is how to accommodate the Hundred Grass Pavilion. If the Hundred Grass Pavilion can be fully utilized, the alchemy level of the Taiyi Sect will definitely reach a new level.
As a Geomancer, the Deep Earth Spirit General became Meng Zhang's source of help. After thinking for a long time, the Deep Earth Spirit General told Meng Zhang that he could try to repair the Third Rank spirit vein, but there was no guarantee of success. After all, his cultivation base has only just recovered to the completion of the Foundation Building stage, and many Geomancer techniques cannot be performed.
Considering the extent of the damage to the spirit vein, even if a Third Rank Geomancer were to intervene, there is no guarantee of successful repair. The Deep Earth Spirit General also informed Meng Zhang that repairing the spirit vein would require a large amount of manpower and resources, at least half of the Taiyi Sect's strength. Therefore, he made a request for Meng Zhang to grant him authority to mobilize all the disciples of the Taiyi Sect and the resources of the entire sect.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Zhang reluctantly agreed to the Deep Earth Spirit General's request. The Third Rank spirit vein is related to the future of the Taiyi Sect, it is a plan for the next hundred years, no, it should be a plan for the next thousand years. All investments in the Third Rank spirit vein are worthwhile.The situation in the Endless Sea of Sand is currently relatively stable. There are no signs of major conflicts or battles from either the Fire Cloud Sect or the Flying Swan Sect. Could it be that the Fire Cloud Sect is satisfied with their current achievements? Meng Zhang has a feeling that this matter is not so simple. However, regardless of the situation, as long as the Fire Cloud Sect does not continue to expand, the Taiyi Sect does not need to worry for now.
After receiving authorization from Meng Zhang, the Deep Earth Spirit General immediately took action. Of course, he also knew that the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand could change at any time, and the Taiyi Sect needed to be prepared to adapt. Therefore, he initially mobilized only a small number of people, mostly disciples with average combat abilities. This way, although the progress of repairing the Third Rank spirit vein would be slow, at least it would not deplete the Taiyi Sect's ability to respond.
In addition to monitoring the movements of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Flying Swan Sect, Meng Zhang also allocated some resources to monitor the movements of the Qi Family in the Northern Desert. It is unknown what benefits Qi Nanfei gained from Myriad Layers Peak. After returning to the Northern Desert Qi Family, he secluded himself and guarded the mountain gate. Qi Nanfei and Hong Siming joined forces to kill the Flying Swan Sect's Fei Jiang Daoist Master, creating a blood feud with the Flying Swan Sect, which had also intended to exterminate the Northern Desert Qi Family.
According to reason, the Northern Desert Qi Family should join forces with the Fire Cloud Sect to strike back at the Flying Swan Sect. However, the Northern Desert Qi Family has remained silent and showed no intention of getting involved in the war between the Fire Cloud Sect and the Flying Swan Sect. Meng Zhang finds it difficult to understand the intentions of the Northern Desert Qi Family. However, he later realized that behind the Fire Cloud Sect, the Flying Swan Sect, and the Northern Desert Qi Family, there is the support of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch. All their actions should be guided by the will of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
These seemingly invincible Gold Core forces are just pawns in the struggle of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch. If the Primordial Spirit True Monarch gives an order, their actions, even if they seem illogical, are not surprising. Understanding this, Meng Zhang gains a new understanding of the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand. He becomes even more cautious and constantly reminds himself to keep the Taiyi Sect away from these troubles and not to easily get involved in their conflicts.
The recent series of changes in the Endless Sea of Sand has made the various cultivation forces in the Hanhai Alliance become more obedient. Initially, when they saw the Flying Swan Sect as the core, these cultivation forces were somewhat shaken and even restless. However, when the Fire Cloud Sect suddenly attacked and the Flying Swan Sect suffered a major defeat, it truly frightened these cultivation forces. If they had allied with the Flying Swan Sect earlier, even if they were not dealt with by the Fire Cloud Sect, they would have been eliminated by the Taiyi Sect.
They secretly rejoiced in their escape from disaster and became more obedient, suppressing all their hidden thoughts. Meng Zhang sees all these things but doesn't pay much attention to them. These small fish and shrimps cannot cause any major waves. As long as the Taiyi Sect maintains its overwhelming advantage, they will always be loyal followers of the Taiyi Sect. In the long run, they will be completely assimilated by the Taiyi Sect and become an extension of the Taiyi Sect's influence.
Meng Zhang is satisfied with the seemingly calm situation and hopes that no new changes will occur. However, the arrival of a guest is about to disrupt the peaceful situation.
