Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 531

Before cultivators enter the Deadly Sea of Sand, Meng Zhang has repeatedly emphasized the various dangers inside to them. Cultivators are not children, and they should take responsibility for their own choices. As the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang feels heartbroken about the injuries and deaths of Taiyi Sect cultivators, but he will never force them to change their choices.

Since it is a trial, they are bound to face various challenges and tests, and it is normal for injuries and deaths to occur. Meng Zhang is not a nanny who can protect disciples from harm forever. In the world of cultivation, there will always be times when one has to face dangers alone, and no one can avoid it. The only thing Meng Zhang can do is to give warnings in advance and enhance their combat power as much as possible.

Meng Zhang himself has average talent in talisman-making. With the help of Yang Xueyi, he has spent precious materials to refine some pseudo Third Rank talismans, which he has given to valued disciples as their life-saving cards. The current situation in the Endless Sea of Sand is stable, and there are no major events happening in the Demon Wind Gobi. Taiyi Sect, which is gradually developing in a stable manner, is exploring various resources within its territory. Apart from slowly repaying the debts owed to the Gu Yue Family, they are also gradually enriching the sect's treasury.

The Foundation Building stage cultivators of Taiyi Sect may not be extravagant, but at least their equipment is passable. Some outstanding cultivators even have life-saving items bestowed by the elders of the sect, so their survival ability is not bad. The cultivators from the Hanhai Alliance who enter the Deadly Sea of Sand have also been specially taken care of by Meng Zhang. They have the opportunity to exchange various items from Taiyi Sect to enhance their combat power and life-saving abilities.

For the current Taiyi Sect, low-level resources are not lacking. What the sect really needs are items useful for Gold Core Daoist Masters or those that can help Foundation Building stage cultivators break through to the Gold Core stage, as well as special spiritual items like the Lingyuan Pearl. Therefore, Meng Zhang is very willing to arm these Foundation Building stage cultivators who enter the Deadly Sea of Sand. This is equivalent to consuming low-level resources in exchange for high-level resources. The biggest loss is the casualties.

With the continuous investment from Taiyi Sect and the continuous entry of Foundation Building stage cultivators into the Deadly Sea of Sand, there have been some gains brought back intermittently. In addition to the Lingyuan Pearl requested by the Deep Earth Spirit General, there are also some other precious spiritual items, such as some spiritual flowers and herbs that have special growth requirements. Yang Xueyi personally led a team that went deep into the vicinity of the Black Wind Grave and obtained two Soul-Replenishing Grasses.

Soul-Replenishing Grass is a spiritual medicine that can repair and enhance the soul and has great uses in many aspects. Before Foundation Building stage cultivators break through to the Gold Core stage, they need to achieve Soul Completion, where their physical body is flawless and their true qi is integrated. After cultivators consume the Soul-Replenishing Grass, it can help complete their soul. Cultivators who have suffered soul damage can repair their soul's injuries by taking the Soul-Replenishing Grass. If the Soul-Replenishing Grass is refined into a pill, it can further stimulate its medicinal power and have better effects.

Currently, Taiyi Sect is not lacking Second Rank Alchemists, especially An Xiaoran, Meng Zhang's second disciple, who has made tremendous progress in alchemy techniques after obtaining part of the inheritance from the Layered Mystery Sect.The alchemy technique is a common skill in the cultivation world, requiring cultivators to study diligently and possess exceptional talent.

An Xiaoran is someone who possesses both talent and diligence. Despite her young age, her proficiency in alchemy technique has already surpassed that of Zhang Yingying, the Pill Hall Master of the sect, and is approaching the level of alchemy masters like Shi Changqing.

If An Xiaoran were not disinterested in power struggles and solely relied on her exceptional alchemy technique, she would be qualified to compete for the position of Pill Hall Master, even without considering her status as the Sect Master's disciple.

With outstanding alchemists, the sect has already collected numerous prescriptions. The demand for various spiritual medicines within the Taiyi Sect has gradually increased.

However, due to the sect's shallow foundation and the relatively short time its own spiritual medicine garden has been established, it can only produce a limited quantity of low-level spiritual medicines.

Originally, the sect could obtain high-level spiritual medicines by purchasing a small amount from Great Wind City or by collecting them from the wilderness.

The Demon Wind Gobi is a place abundant in wild spiritual medicines of decent quality.

However, collecting spiritual medicines in the wilderness still requires some luck, and the supply is not always stable.

It was not until Meng Zhang unfolded the Hundred Grass Pavilion obtained from the Layered Mystery Sect that the Taiyi Sect finally had a relatively stable source of high-level spiritual medicines.

However, the current focus of the Hundred Grass Pavilion is on maintaining the spiritual medicine garden, and Meng Zhang has requested to minimize the collection of high-level spiritual medicines from within.

The fact that the teams of cultivators entering the Deadly Sea of Sand have brought back some special spiritual medicines has greatly piqued the interest of the alchemists in the sect.

If Meng Zhang had not specifically ordered it, cultivators within the Taiyi Sect who lacked combat power, especially those involved in production, would have long gone to search for spiritual medicines.

In this barren land known as the Deadly Sea of Sand, a forbidden zone for living creatures, some special high-level spiritual medicines have unexpectedly grown. This has not only made Meng Zhang marvel at the wonders of life but has also increased his investment in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Both within the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Alliance, there are many cultivators who have consumed the Lesser Foundation Building Pill and are unable to advance further on their cultivation path. From the perspective of the sect's interests, these ordinary cultivators can be sacrificed.

In order to cultivate the elite cultivators who have the potential to form the core of the sect, these ordinary cultivators can serve as stepping stones.

As the lord of the sect with abundant resources, Meng Zhang does not need to give direct orders. By offering high rewards, many cultivators will willingly explore the Deadly Sea of Sand according to his wishes.

Especially for the other members of the Hanhai Alliance, they are extremely eager for the alchemical pills that can assist in Foundation Building.

The Taiyi Sect doesn't even need to provide Foundation Building Pills; offering a batch of Lesser Foundation Building Pills as rewards will be enough to attract Foundation Building stage cultivators from various forces to willingly venture into the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Meng Zhang only strictly restricts the entry of cultivators from the Taiyi Sect who lack strength into the Deadly Sea of Sand. There are no such restrictions for cultivators from other members of the Hanhai Alliance.

In reality, even if Meng Zhang were to impose restrictions, others might not appreciate it and think he is being stingy with the rewards.

With more and more Foundation Building stage cultivators entering the Deadly Sea of Sand, they bring back more and more surprises.

This place, the Deadly Sea of Sand, which cultivators used to deliberately avoid, is truly a treasure trove.

Special spiritual medicines, rare spiritual materials from the outside world, and hidden underground mineral deposits...

Jin Qiao'er obtained a lot of information about the Deadly Sea of Sand from Daoist Master Jin Li and generously shared it with everyone.

The teams that enter the Deadly Sea of Sand have gained a lot of firsthand information through long periods of exploration.

With ample experience, cultivators now know to seek benefits and avoid dangers, actively avoiding various risks. As a result, casualties have greatly decreased, while the gains have significantly increased.
