The Way of the Immortal Master

The Qiaoshoumen and the Golden Knifemen have been allied for many years, and their relationship has always been close.

The two cooperated tacitly and took advantage of the vacant period after the demise of Shuangfeng Valley to reap the most fertile fruits. Even the Taiyi sect under the leadership of Meng Zhang would stay away from the two sects after joining forces.

But any ally relationship must be established on the basis of relative equality between the two parties.

In order to have an equal status in the cultivation world, the difference in strength should not be too great.

Aunt Jin from the Skillful Hand Sect has a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base, which is already above Ruan Dadao. It's just that because the disciples of the Golden Knife Sect fight bravely, and the female monks of the Skillful Hand Sect are mostly good at giving birth, they are slightly weaker in terms of combat effectiveness. Only two sects can maintain equal status.

Now that the Skillful Hand Sect has one more Foundation Establishment cultivator, the strength of the two sects has increased a lot.

In the future, will the alliance between the two sects be as stable as this?

Meng Zhang began to think in his heart, is there any opportunity to take advantage of this to disintegrate the alliance between the two families.

Despite the strong pressure from the outside world, the four sects are still united and can maintain a good cooperative relationship. But in Meng Zhang's heart, he always had deep fears about the alliance between Skillful Hands Sect and Golden Knife Sect.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and you need to look for opportunities slowly.

Guests from all walks of life arrived one after another.

In fact, the guests were only from three nearby sects and four from Mingshafang City. Compared with the grand occasion of Lin Shenpo's Foundation Establishment Ceremony of Lin Shan Sect, it is far worse.

Even the young Meng Zhang felt that things were right and people were wrong. In the past few years, the surrounding situation has changed too much. Many familiar faces have disappeared.

At this time, Aunt Jin and Aunt Jin Qi built the foundation with skillful hands, and they also came out to receive guests from various parties.

When facing Jin Qigu, Ruan Dadao's expression was obviously a little unnatural.

A junior who had known him for many years suddenly had almost the same status as himself, while the disciple whom he had placed high hopes on failed to build a foundation.

Even though Jin Qigu's attitude was still respectful, Ruan Dadao was still very uncomfortable.

Lin Shenpo from Linshan School, Gu Tanghai from Mingshafang City, and Meng Zhang from Taiyimen sincerely congratulated Jin Qigu on establishing her foundation. In any case, the strengthening of their small group is always a good thing.

In addition to the exchanges between several foundation-building monks, younger disciples from various sects also made appearances one after another.

As the landlord, the Skillful Hand Sect had the most disciples. The rest of the sects, who were able to follow the elders of the Foundation Establishment Stage to participate in the Dharma Assembly, were also the next generation elites in the sect who were valued very much.

Meng Zhang secretly used his magic eye to destroy delusion, and carefully observed the younger disciples of various sects.

The young disciples of the Linshan Sect are well-behaved, neither good nor bad, and they are worthy of a foundation-establishing sect like the Linshan Sect.

There were only two members of the Shi family brought by Gu Tanghai, with ordinary qualifications.

The Golden Knife Sect has the most disciples, and their cultivation bases are also very strong, and there are many people who are at the ninth level of Qi refining.

However, after Meng Zhang's observation, these people's aptitude is mediocre, and they only slowly push up their cultivation bases through long-term accumulation. Such people have limited prospects in the future, and it is difficult to build a foundation.

On the contrary, there are quite a few good disciples in the Skillful Hand Sect. Especially a female disciple named Jin Qiao'er, who is extremely intelligent and restrained, very extraordinary.

Meng Zhang judged that this woman was at least a middle-grade spiritual root, and she should also have some kind of special talent.

Jin Qiaoer is about fourteen or fifteen years old, lively and innocent, cheerful and outgoing. Not only Aunt Jin and Aunt Jin love him very much, but other disciples in the sect also dote on her very much.

The disciples from various families who came to visit were also very willing to get close to Jin Qiaoer. On the other hand, Yang Xueyi from Taiyi Sect treats her a little bit at a respectful distance.

The disciples knew each other and communicated with each other. Several foundation-building monks gathered together to discuss serious matters.

Several forces started planning a few years ago to open up business routes to the outside world and open up the route to the Jiuqu League. Now, everyone is almost ready.

After discussing with a few people, they set a date for departure.

Two months later, everyone formed a caravan and went on the road together.

After talking about the business, the next step is the communication between the various sects.

The next day, Jin Qigu opened the altar to give lectures, and publicly preached the way of practice.

After listening to it for a while, Meng Zhang felt dull.

First of all, he has now established the foundation, and has a deeper understanding of the principles that Jin Qigu said.

The second reason is that Jin Qigu, a woman, is relatively stingy, and there are not many dry things in what she talks about, and most of them are empty words.

The group of Qi-refinement period disciples sitting below, after listening to a lot of mysterious, empty and boring principles, felt somewhat unclear. Even the few people with the highest savvy have gained very little.

After Jin Qigu opened the altar to teach the Fa, the guests from several families did not stay for too long, and then went home. A long journey is imminent, and there are a lot of things that need to be arranged in each door.

As the day of departure approached, Meng Zhang made some arrangements for the affairs of the family.

When he is not in the door, as usual, Tian Zhen, the general affairs elder, will handle the daily affairs, and Houtu God will be in charge of the emergency.

The disciples in the sect basically have their own duties, so there is no need for Meng Zhang to worry.

Li Xuan, the elder of foreign affairs, and Yang Xueyi, the head of the Hall of Fu, accompanied Meng Zhang on the road. Wen Qiansuan, who had just broken through the seventh level of Qi refining not long ago, also wanted to go for a walk, and Meng Zhang also brought him along. In addition, there are more than ten disciples who are responsible for various chores on the road.

Storage bags one after another were sent into the cabin of the second-tier spaceship.

These storage bags are filled with various materials for sale by the Taiyi Gate, mainly various minerals.

Since he decided to go to the Jiuqu League to trade, in the past two years, Meng Zhang has ordered to fully mine all the mines he owns.

In addition to the Baizangtu mines that are all supplied to Linquan Temple, various minerals such as red copper ore, black iron ore, and Qianchensha have accumulated a lot.

Among them, the most precious one is the Xunfeng Stone produced in Mingsha Mountain.

Gu Tanghai is very capable and resumed the production of the Mingsha Mountain Mine within a short period of time. I don't know where he found so many monks who worked hard to mine the Xunfeng Stone from the mine.

According to the original agreement, Taiyi Gate can also get a large part of it.

After a few years of accumulation, the amount is also very considerable.

Another precious spiritual material is a large amount of warm jade.

When Meng Zhang stayed in the Zaoxiang Oasis, he went out many times to sweep up various cultivators.

Not far from Zaoxiang Oasis, a warm jade mine that originally belonged to Shuangfeng Valley was discovered.

The warm jade produced by this warm jade mine is of high quality, and it was an important source of income for Shuangfeng Valley.

After discovering this place, Meng Zhang took it without hesitation. Regardless of the shortage of manpower in the sect, he mobilized a large number of disciples in the sect to organize large-scale mining.

After the mined warm jade is transported to Zaoxiang Oasis, it is regularly sent back to Taiyi Gate by airship.

Shi Weida looked jealous, but firstly he didn't dare to compete with Meng Zhang for food, and secondly, he couldn't even take care of the Zaoxiang Oasis, so he really couldn't think of anything else.
