Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 51: Inventory harvest

The method of refining Guardian Spirit Generals has long been lost within the current Taiyi Sect. Even if it hadn't been lost, the sect lacks the ability and resources to refine Guardian Spirit Generals. The remnants of the Guardian Spirit General's souls within the gem became Taiyi Sect's only hope. According to the records in the Sect Master's journal, the Guardian Spirit Generals during their peak possessed a Cultivation Base equivalent to the Gold Core stage.

Meng Zhang didn't expect these resurrected remnants to regain the combat power of the Gold Core stage. As long as they could possess the strength of the Foundation Building stage, it would already be a significant support for Taiyi Sect. What's more, these Guardian Spirit Generals had high Cultivation Base levels and rich experiences from countless battles, making their cultivation and combat experiences invaluable for Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect's growth.

Although Meng Zhang knew that Jade Soul Fluid could repair Souls, he had no idea how to make the slumbering Guardian Spirit Generals in the gem absorb it. After thinking for a while, Meng Zhang took out the jade bottle containing Jade Soul Fluid and tried dripping it onto the gem.

The Jade Soul Fluid smoothly penetrated into the gem, but even after all the Jade Soul Fluid was used, the gem showed no change. Meng Zhang felt disappointed, as it seemed like the hard-earned Jade Soul Fluid had no effect.

Was the Jade Soul Fluid too low in grade, or were the quantities too small? Unable to figure it out, Meng Zhang temporarily put this matter aside. Upon returning to his quiet room, he carefully organized all his gains this time. The items useful for the sect were all stored in the sect's treasury, while those he could personally use were carried with him. The items temporarily unnecessary were stored separately, ready to be sold in the market.

Among these items, the most valuable were the large number of White Hidden Earth Crystals. However, these crystals were only semi-finished products, and their outer shells needed to be removed to obtain the finished product. Removing the outer shell from the White Hidden Earth Crystals required a lot of patience and meticulous work. The crystals had to be soaked in a special solution for three days and then slowly polished with true qi to gradually remove the outer shell and obtain the finished product. This work had nothing to do with Cultivation Base and could be done even by a Refining Qi stage cultivator, as long as they had enough patience.

However, Meng Zhang didn't have much time to waste on this task, even if the White Hidden Earth Crystals were valuable. He decided to turn the task of polishing the crystals into a mission and offer it to the disciples in the sect as an opportunity to earn merits. When all the White Hidden Earth Crystals were polished and sold, the spiritual stones earned could be used to supplement the sect's treasury. Meng Zhang had always left a portion of his gains for the sect as a subsidy.

Tian Zhen, being the General Affairs Elder, had the advantage of suppressing his curiosity and never asked about the origins of these items. He silently followed Meng Zhang's instructions and handled all these affairs.

Three days after the sandstorm subsided, Meng Zhang left Taiyi Sect again. The Zhao Family cultivator, who was becoming a little impatient, immediately became alert and kept a close eye on Meng Zhang. At first, they thought Meng Zhang was heading east, directly towards the abandoned mine, and the Zhao Family disciples who thought Meng Zhang fell into their trap were pleased. However, their joy didn't last long.

Although Meng Zhang was heading east, his destination was not the abandoned mine. He passed by the wind chasing horse and the abandoned mine, continuing eastward. This time, Meng Zhang's goal was Firewell Market, located to the east of Taiyi Sect and over four thousand miles away. Firewell Market was owned by Earthfire Sect, but Flying Swan Sect, as the dominant force in the surrounding area, also had a foothold there.

Twin Success Valley was known as a sect with ten Foundation Building stage cultivators, allowing them to rule over their territory. Among the many affiliated forces of Flying Swan Sect, Twin Success Valley ranked among the top. Twin Success Valley had a domineering style, often causing trouble for its neighbors, but compared to Earthfire Sect, they lacked some momentum.

Earthfire Sect might have fewer Foundation Building stage cultivators, but their combat power exceeded that of Twin Success Valley. Twin Success Valley was domineering, but Earthfire Sect was even more wild. According to the rumors in Cultivation World, most disciples of Earthfire Sect were fearless madmen. Compared to the domineering Twin Success Valley, the fearless madmen were even harder to provoke.

In the past, when Meng Zhang rode the wind chasing horse to Singing Sand City, he could arrive within half a day. Now, going to the more distant Firewell Market would take several days back and forth. As they saw the figure of the wind chasing horse getting farther and farther to the east, confirming that Meng Zhang was not heading for the abandoned mine, the Zhao Family disciple riding the Red Feathered Eagle continued to follow Meng Zhang closely and report the situation back.

After receiving the report, Zhao Chen, a renowned Refining Qi stage expert of the Zhao Family, secretly arrived near Sweetwater Oasis. After waiting for some time, Fang Yong, who had received his message, found an excuse to go out and secretly meet with Zhao Chen. Being under Zhao Chen's control, Fang Yong was particularly humble and had a fawning smile on his face.

"Greetings, senior..."

"Enough with the nonsense. I ask you, did you tell that brat Meng Zhang all the information about the abandoned mine?" Zhao Chen cut off Fang Yong without hesitation.

"I did exactly as you instructed. Every word I said was according to your guidance," Fang Yong practically swore to the heavens.

Among the information Fang Yong provided to Meng Zhang, he mentioned the ferocity of the Ghosts in the abandoned mine and vaguely implied that there might be more to the mine than meets the eye. Cultivators, especially young ones, had a tradition of seeking opportunities outside. Many arrogant cultivators often believed themselves to be the main characters of the world, thinking that they would surely encounter Big Luck and gain benefits from various opportunities. However, the vast majority of such cultivators would end up dying without a burial place.
