The Way of the Immortal Master

Now that he knows the purpose of Shuangfeng Valley, and Taiyi Sect has no room to refuse, he must accept this matter. Meng Zhang also began to think about how to use this opportunity to seek greater benefits for Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang agreed to Zhou Shengkao's request and agreed to mine the Baizangite mine. But immediately, he listed a lot of difficulties and wanted to get benefits from Zhou Shengkao.

Zhou Shengkao saw through Meng Zhang's thoughts, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. How can such a thing work if you want the horse to run without feeding the horse.

The Taiyi Gate is still useful now, so of course it is worth spending some money to win over.

So after some bargaining, in addition to the original conditions, Meng Zhang also asked Zhou Shengkao to agree to hand over an oasis originally owned by the Zhao family to Taiyimen for management.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Meng Zhang began to act.

The oasis that Zhou Shengkao promised to hand over to Taiyi Gate was the closest one among the five oases owned by the Zhao family.

There is a complete first-order low-grade spiritual vein in this oasis, and the area of ​​the oasis is larger than the current Tianshui oasis.

On this oasis, there are about five or six thousand residents.

The monks of the Zhao family and their families who were stationed in the oasis had long been secretly dealt with by Shuangfenggu.

Meng Zhang called Li Xuan and two Taiyimen disciples and rushed all the way to this oasis. After handing over to the garrisoned Shuangfenggu monks, this oasis completely belonged to Taiyimen.

Although this oasis belongs to the Zhao family, not all the residents in it are named Zhao. Even among those whose surname is Zhao, many of them have no blood relationship with the Zhao family.

According to the original Zhao family's rules, some mortals awaken their spiritual roots. If this person's surname is not Zhao, then this person and this person's family members must all change their surname to Zhao, so that this person can join the Zhao family.

If you are too fond of your original surname and don't want to change it, then the family will be expelled from the oasis with luck and will fend for themselves. If you are unlucky, it will be hard to say what will happen.

Don't think that this is tyranny. In the eyes of the Zhao family monks, not everyone is qualified to be named Zhao. It is a great thing to be able to change the surname to Zhao.

Now that this oasis belongs to the Taiyi Gate, the rules of the Cultivation Clan don't apply. Cultivation sects don't value such things as surnames. From then on, for mortals who have awakened their spiritual roots in the oasis, worshiping the Taiyi Gate will be their new choice.

Meng Zhang left Li Xuan and his two disciples to take care of various affairs in the oasis.

The excuse Meng Zhang claimed for this oasis from Zhou Shengkao was that a large number of mortal miners were needed to mine Baizangite mines, and this oasis just provided the source.

In this oasis, Li Xuan will investigate carefully and find out all those loyalists who miss the Zhao family.

Waiting for the fate of these people is to become miners and spend the rest of their lives in the mines.

After Meng Zhang left this oasis, he rushed to Mingshafang City.

More and more things made Meng Zhang feel that the manpower of Taiyi Sect was becoming more and more insufficient.

After the Baizangite mine was mined, it still needed a lot of practitioners to guard and oversee it.

Originally, Meng Zhang was planning to move steadily and try his best to recruit disciples who had just awakened their spiritual roots from within the Taiyi Sect's rule. In this way, the purity of the source of disciples can be guaranteed, and only a blank sheet of paper can be used for painting.

Now, with the desperate need for manpower, some persistence is unnecessary.

The Taiyi Gate was originally a long-established force, but now it is showing signs of revival.

Meng Zhang played a sign in Mingshafang City to attract casual practitioners to get started, and immediately many casual practitioners came to consult and even sign up.

When Meng Zhang recruited disciples from his sect, cultivation aptitude was the second priority. The most important thing was the person's character and loyalty to the sect.

No matter how good the aptitude is, even if it is the legendary Tianpin Linggen. If you are not loyal to the sect, then there is no need to train this kind of disciple with all your strength.

If you don't care about your character and only care about your qualifications, you might develop a group of white-eyed wolves.

As a disciple trained by the sect, it doesn't mean that you must live and die with the sect, but you must have a minimum of loyalty. It is impossible for the sect to run away and abandon the sect as soon as it encounters adversity. If the Zongmen did not betray you, you cannot abandon the Zongmen.

Meng Zhang talked with these monks who wanted to join the Taiyi Sect one by one, communicated slowly, and asked them about their origins.

Of course, this is superficial work. Secretly, Meng Zhang has already used his gifted supernatural power to read their minds.

Among this group of monks, most of them are monks in the early and middle stages of qi refining. Moreover, ordinary casual cultivators do not have the ability to shield his mind. Even if someone can block his Xintong's prying, Meng Zhang will be able to detect it immediately, and will never miss this person.

Sure enough, Meng Zhang read everyone's thoughts smoothly without any accidents.

After working for several days, Meng Zhang selected fifteen disciples to join Taiyi Sect.

Among them, two were spies from Shuangfeng Valley.

Thinking about it, if Shuangfenggu entrusts the Taiyi Sect with secret matters, there must be secret surveillance methods, and the Taiyi Sect will never be let go.

If you want to monitor, just monitor. With these two spies, Shuangfenggu will feel more at ease.

When the Baizangite mine was mined, Meng Zhang was going to send all the two spies to the mine.

In addition, there are also a spy from the Golden Knife Sect, a spy from the Skillful Hand Sect, and a spy from the Linshan Sect, who also mixed in among the casual cultivators who joined the Taiyi Sect.

These people thought they had cheated Meng Zhang, but they didn't know that Meng Zhang, who possessed his supernatural powers, had already seen through their identities.

Meng Zhang didn't simply shut the three of them out, but he was generous, pretending not to know, and took them in.

Meng Zhang is not afraid to play the trick of Infernal Affairs. These spies who have been identified can sometimes play a magical role.

For these three people, Meng Zhang would not let them go back to the Taiyi Gate, but decided to send them to the oasis that they just got, and take care of it.

The remaining ten casual cultivators are the ones Meng Zhang really wants to recruit.

These ten people have mediocre aptitude and low cultivation, but relatively speaking, they are all relatively pure and good-natured, and they don't have any bad intentions.

Of course, even if they are included in the family, it does not mean that they have won Meng Zhang's full trust.

In the future, there will be a series of tests waiting for them. Only by passing these tests can they truly become members of the Taiyi Sect.

After recruiting disciples, Meng Zhang immediately found a way to get in touch with his old acquaintance, Lao Xingxing.

More than ten days later, still in Mingshafang City, Meng Zhang and Lao Poxing met.

During the meeting, Meng Zhang used Zhou Shengkao's rhetoric.

Through Zhou Shengkao's relationship, Taiyimen rented an abandoned Baizang clay mine in Shuangfeng Valley. I want to mine Baizangite mines to provide Menzhong with a stable source of income.
