Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 903: The middle stage of Yuanshen

Since receiving this stone tablet as a reward from the Dali Dynasty, Meng Zhang has stayed at Xiongshi Ridge for a long time.

Although after careful inspection, this stone tablet is just a third-level communication instrument, and there are no problems or hidden back-ends in it.

But out of caution, Meng Zhang placed it on the side of Xiongshi Ridge instead of on the grassy **** of Taiyimen Mountain Gate.

Anyway, there is a third-level spiritual vein here in Xiongshi Ridge, which is enough to drive this communication weapon.

The Taiyi Sect’s important mountain gate has many secrets, and the spiritual veins are the foundation of the mountain gate. It is better not to place such foreign magic weapons as much as possible.

During this period, Meng Zhang received various information on the stone tablet and also discovered some business opportunities.

Dali Dynasty officials have always purchased spiritual grains and elixirs at relatively high prices.

Moreover, the officials of the Dali Dynasty also strongly encouraged the major cultivation forces within the territory to open up a large number of spiritual fields and build elixir gardens.

Dali Dynasty officials often provide high-quality spiritual grain seeds and elixir seeds at preferential prices. Loans will even be provided at very low interest rates to encourage planting.

Cultivation of elixirs takes many years. As for spiritual grains, most of them can be harvested within one or two years.

Of course, planting high-level spiritual valleys also consumes a lot of land resources.

Taiyi Sect, as a large Yuan Shen sect with a small number in Jiuqu Province, supplies a limited number of spiritual valleys to its disciples, and it is far from being able to provide them openly.

Most of the time, disciples practice meditation, breathe out, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.

Meng Zhang not only read the current Di Bao, but also spent a lot of time reading the previous Di Bao.

From time to time, when the Dali Dynasty needed a large number of spiritual grains, they would even use military merit as a reward.

Meng Zhang secretly wrote down this incident.

Although I don’t know why the Dali Dynasty needs so many spiritual valleys, this gave him a new way to obtain military merit.

It's just that the mainland of Dali Dynasty is too far from Jiuqu Province, so transportation is a bit difficult.

In the Dali Dynasty, military merit is a real hard currency that can be exchanged for many unprecedented spiritual objects.

In the former Jiuqu League, elixirs and spiritual objects that assist in forming pills were very rare and often could not be bought with money. As for elixirs and elixirs that can help break through the Yuan Shen stage, they have almost never appeared on the market.

The Dali Dynasty’s treasury is extremely rich in materials, including many fourth-level items. There are even a lot of pills and spiritual objects that can help break through the Yuan Shen stage.

Meng Zhang’s eldest disciple Niu Dawei and the sect elder Yang Xueyi have already reached the golden elixir level and are about to break through the Yuanshen stage.

Meng Zhang was originally considering exchanging military merit for some useful auxiliary items.

But firstly, Meng Zhang's military merit was not enough, and secondly, they had already gone into seclusion, so Meng Zhang temporarily gave up his desire to exchange.

Of course, Taiyi Sect will definitely have more disciples preparing to break through to the Yuanshen stage in the future, so we still have to try our best to get some of these auxiliary items.

Meng Zhang's biggest worry now is that there are too many good things in the Dali Dynasty's treasury, and he also wants a lot. But the military merit is too little and far from enough.

If Meng Zhang hadn't prioritized breaking through to the middle stage of Yuanshen and was unwilling to spend too much time and energy on other things, he would have started thinking about how to obtain a large amount of military merit.

In addition to communicating with the mainland of the Dali Dynasty, this stone tablet can also communicate with Jiuqu City, the capital of Jiuqu Province.

The target of the communication is the important institutions of Jiuqu Province, including the Governor's Office.

Meng Zhang played a key role in the last incident of the mysterious demon being easily pacified without causing any harm or loss.

If he hadn't seen through You Hongzhi's actions and allowed him to hide in Jiuqu Province, there's no telling how many people would have been killed by him.

It is not even impossible for You Hongzhi to take the initiative to launch a demonic disaster after he becomes big.

Zhang Wei knew this and valued Meng Zhang very much.

In particular, he thought that Meng Zhang had inherited Taiyi Sect's powerful demon-conquering methods, which had great utilization value.

Governor Zhang Wei can take Meng Zhang seriously, and the relationship between Wen Dongzhenjun and Meng Zhang has become better.

From time to time, Zhenjun Wen Dong would reveal some important news to Meng Zhang through the communication stone tablet.

Even Governor Zhang Weineng occasionally communicated with Meng Zhang.

From Zhang Weineng's mouth, Meng Zhang learned a lot of secrets.

In the world of cultivation, there have always been forces secretly resisting the Holy Land Sect.

As the ruler of the cultivation world, the Holy Land Sect is also the largest vested interest, occupying most of the resources in the cultivation world.

Some are dissatisfied with the status quo, some are ambitious and want to replace them, and some have grudges against the Holy Land Sect...

Don’t look at the Holy Land Sect, which looks like it is rampant and invincible.

However, there has never been an end to cultivators who resisted his rule.

Many people in the Dali Dynasty felt sorry for the fact that Taiyi Sect was destroyed by Guantian Pavilion.

In the eyes of senior officials from the Dali Dynasty like Zhang Weineng, the Taiyi Sect is a fellow disciple and a comrade-in-arms.

It's just that he died before he left the army.

Although the Dali Dynasty is now being suppressed by the Ziyang Holy Sect, the Ziyang Holy Sect has always been unable to do anything about the Dali Dynasty.

Zhang Weineng even vaguely revealed to Meng Zhang that there was a powerful person behind the Dali Dynasty.

The struggle between the Dali Dynasty and the Ziyang Holy Sect involved the struggle between the great powers.

Although Meng Zhang didn't believe everything Zhang Weineng said, he felt relieved.

As long as what he said is true, the Dali Dynasty will not be in danger of being destroyed by the Ziyang Holy Sect in a short period of time.

As a newcomer to the Taiyi Sect, they will have a long and stable life.

Faced with the increasing pressure of big foreign merchants, the small group formed by the local cultivators was obviously unreliable.

If Taiyi Sect wants to continue to survive, in addition to constantly striving for self-improvement, it also needs to find a big leg to hold on to.

Since Zhang Wei can respect Meng Zhang, of course Meng Zhang should hug this thigh tightly.

Sihai Trading Company was the leading trading firm in Jiuqu League at the beginning, and its business strength alone was very rare in the surrounding areas.

Such a large trading company was easily divided up by those large foreign merchants.

The small group originally formed by You Hongzhi naturally fell apart because of the incident involving You Hongzhi.

Although Zhang Weineng intended to protect these local cultivation forces, it was a fact that they secretly traded with foreign invaders, and they were even caught.

In order not to be criticized, Zhang Weineng still had to punish them more or less.

It is inevitable to deal with the caravan members caught on the spot and impose high fines.

Big foreign merchants swallowed up Sihai Trading Company, small groups were punished, and the foreign dragons became more arrogant.

If they weren't worried about Governor Zhang Weineng's attitude, they might have already started to sweep away the local cultivation forces.

At least in the short term, these local cultivation forces who have received a lesson will no longer dare to trade with those foreign invaders.

And because of the You Hongzhi incident, their superficial interactions have become extremely rare.

Taiyimen did not participate in that small group, nor was it implicated in this matter.

When Sihai Trading Company was annexed by big foreign merchants, Taiyi Sect followed suit and took advantage.

It is definitely impossible for Taiyi Sect to get involved in the Sihai Trading Company's industry.

However, there are many outstanding cultivators among Sihai Commercial Bank, especially many outstanding management talents.

Because of You Hongzhi's involvement, many members of Sihai Trading Company were imprisoned.

Those who were lucky enough to escape jail would inevitably lose their jobs and become homeless.

Taiyi Sect began to recruit members of these Sihai Trading Firms.

Meng Zhang even got through to Zhenjun Wen Dong and spent a lot of money to get many people out of prison.

The Datong Business Alliance, a group of large foreign merchants, has their own talents and will not trust outsiders at all. Coupled with their contempt for the local bumpkins, they will not compete with Meng Zhang for these talents.

Although due to the invasion of large foreign merchants, Taiyi Sect's income has been greatly reduced.

But Taiyi Sect is still one of the most powerful soul sects in Jiuqu Province, and it is still very tempting to those former members of Sihai Trading Company. Not to mention that Taiyimen rescued them from the prison, which was a life-saving grace.

Of course, with so many monks recruited at once, in addition to the necessary screening procedures, An Moran's secret hall was also very busy.

Taiyimen has large territories in Yaofeng Gobi and Death Sand Sea. Especially in Yaofeng Gobi's territory, a large part is still undeveloped.

What Taiyi Sect lacks most is all kinds of manpower that can be used for development.

After Meng Zhang discovered the almost insatiable demand for spiritual grains and elixirs from the Dali Dynasty, he increased his efforts to develop the territory, vigorously developed spiritual fields, and built elixir gardens.

It takes a long time for the elixirs in the elixir garden to mature, and it will take at least a hundred years to achieve results.

But after the spiritual fields are reclaimed, spiritual grains can be produced within a few years.

Suddenly, many lands in the Yaofeng Gobi that were suitable for the development of spiritual fields began to be developed intensively.

Faced with the oppression of big foreign merchants, the local cultivators in Jiuqu Province are having a very hard time.

Only the Taiyi sect relies on Meng Zhang to operate well, and the impact is not great.

In addition, the weak water **** general also gave Meng Zhang a big surprise since he was sent to Daheng Cultivation World.

When Meng Zhang seized the foundation of Maple Leaf Mountain City, it was just to leave a way for Taiyi Sect to retreat.

After the weak water **** took full charge of Maple Leaf Mountain City in the past, he managed it properly and continued to expand his sphere of influence there.

Daheng Cultivation World is a much more prosperous place than Jiuqu League.

After the Dali Dynasty conquered the Jiuqu League, it was unclear whether it was facing pressure from the Purple Sun Sect or was busy digesting the spoils. He actually stopped the pace of conquest and did not take action against Daheng Cultivation World.

The foundation of Maple Leaf Mountain City is located on the edge of the Daheng Realm. It seems inconspicuous, but it actually has great development prospects.

The weak water **** will use Maple Leaf Mountain City as his cover, and while slowly expanding his power, he will vigorously develop commerce and trade with the local forces in the Daheng cultivation world.

Many elixirs, talismans, etc. that could not compete with large foreign merchants in Jiuqu Province and lost the market were transported here and became very popular here, earning a lot of spiritual stones for Taiyi Sect. .

In addition, Maple Leaf Mountain City also purchased many local specialties from the Daheng cultivation world and slowly transported them back to the door.

In this way, Taiyi Sect has a secret trade channel that is unknown to everyone.

The only restriction on this trade channel now is the connection between the two places through the mother-and-son conveyor. Every time you teleport, you will consume Kongming Stone.

Jiuqu Province does not produce Kongming Stone.

In addition to buying some in the Daheng cultivation world, the only way is to deal with the big merchants from the Dali Dynasty.

Fortunately, although the relationship between the two parties is bad, no one will have trouble with Lingshi, and the business that should be done will be done.

As long as Taiyi Sect is willing to spend a lot of spiritual stones and can accept the high price, it can still buy the necessary Kongming Stones.

While Meng Zhang was dealing with important matters in the sect, he was also slowly accumulating strength to make up for his shortcomings.

After the head disciple Niu Dawei broke through the Yuan Shen stage in seclusion, Meng Zhang had to spend more energy on the affairs of the sect.

Fortunately, there is a Presbyterian Council in the sect, and each hall can perform its own duties, which is enough to maintain the daily operation of the sect.

When the opportunity to break through the bottleneck came, Meng Zhang left everything behind without hesitation and began to retreat.

Although there is a bottleneck between the early stage of Yuanshen and the middle stage of Yuanshen, it is very difficult to break through. But there is no essential difference between these two realms.

The conditions for a breakthrough don’t sound difficult either. It is nothing more than strengthening the soul, enlightening the great road, etc.

Of course, not all monks in the early stage of Yuan Shen can break through to the middle stage of Yuan Shen. Find the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com

The cultivation method is not sophisticated enough, the foundation is not solid enough, the savings are not strong enough, the soul is not strong enough, and the understanding of the Dao is not enough...

Especially the understanding of the great road is the top priority, and there are no shortcuts.

Many monks in the early stage of Yuan Shen failed to break through to the middle stage of Yuan Shen until they ran out of life and died.

But these are not problems for Meng Zhang.

He has been reciting Taoist scriptures and studying Taoist scriptures all year round. His understanding of the Taoist scriptures has surpassed many monks in the middle stage of Yuanshen.

As for the accumulation of various aspects, after so many years of hard work, it is already enough.

After retreating into seclusion, Meng Zhang had numerous visions in his mind, the sound of the great avenue rang in his ears, and there was a vision of yin and yang changing above his head.

This situation lasted for almost two years before it completely disappeared.

At this time, Meng Zhang naturally broke through the bottleneck and entered the middle stage of Yuanshen.

Cultivation has reached another level, Meng Zhang's strength has greatly improved, his life level has transformed again, and he has more abilities.

Of course, Meng Zhang will also face a new big problem.

For monks in the middle stage of Yuanshen, absorbing and refining the essence of the Nine Heavens has no effect on their cultivation.

To carry out daily practice, you need to absorb the Jade Pure Spirit.

The only place Meng Zhang knew where the Jade Spirit Machine was produced was the vast and extremely dangerous outer void.

Fortunately, he still has some Jade Spirit Machines that he obtained before, which is enough for him to stabilize his cultivation in the middle stage of Yuan Shen.

After his cultivation reached the middle stage of Yuanshen, Meng Zhang could not care about his future cultivation for the time being. Just use the resources at hand to first stabilize the current state of cultivation and become familiar with and master the newly improved strength.

It took another three years before Meng Zhang consolidated his cultivation in the middle stage of Yuanshen and left the retreat.
