Chapter 484: Metal Wind Violent Flame Formation |
To cultivate the Rainbow Escape Method, you need some external items to assist. Among the most important aids is to ascend deep into the high clouds and absorb the essence of the heavenly light.
This process is incredibly troublesome and dangerous. The gusts above the Nine Heavens are almost invincible. If you fly too high and carelessly get swept by those gusts, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would be in danger.
No matter how many difficulties he faces, Meng Zhang must practice this supreme escape technique. All dangers can be overcome gradually.
With the Rainbow Escape Method, not only will Meng Zhang's survival ability greatly increase, but his tactics will also become more diverse.
After Gu Yue Huaidie's departure, the Dark Crow Demon General, who is difficult to discern for human cultivators, did not easily venture outside.
Most of the time, the Dark Crow Demon General is relatively rational. Without strong provocation, it will carefully consider its actions.
It was the death of the Golden Tiger Demon General last time that angered the Dark Crow Demon General and prompted it to launch an attack.
Meng Zhang and Luo Ye occasionally appeared outside the Raven's Nest, maintaining an oppressive posture.
The Dark Crow Demon General and the Poison Sand Demon General did not respond, allowing the human cultivators to display their prowess.
Of course, necessary precautions are still needed. Strengthening the Taiyi Sect's combat power is an urgent task.
If Taiyi Sect could produce one more Gold Core cultivator, many problems would be easily resolved.
Unfortunately, among the younger generation disciples, Yang Xueyi, with the highest cultivation base, is only at the mid Foundation Building stage.
Although Deep Earth Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General have recovered to the late Foundation Building stage of Cultivation Base, reaching the strength of the Gold Core stage still requires a long journey.
Meng Zhang also knows that such matters cannot be rushed. Taiyi Sect has just started its recovery, and the disciples are still very young, with not enough time for them to grow. At this time, these disciples cannot be relied upon.
Meng Zhang's greatest hope is to obtain some special Third Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to help Deep Earth Spirit General and the others recover their Cultivation Base as soon as possible.
Although Meng Zhang asked Gu Yue Huaidie for help and instructed Taiyi Sect to pay attention to the merchant groups in Great Wind City, Third Rank items are quite precious. Especially Third Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, they cannot be bought with spirit stones and often appear in places where goods are exchanged with items of the same level.
Meng Zhang has only done his best to make arrangements, but whether they will be effective remains uncertain.
Currently, Taiyi Sect cannot provide Gold Core stage combat power, but the growth of Taiyi Sect disciples is very rapid.
Not to mention their previous savings, just this invasion of Demon Wind Gobi allowed Taiyi Sect to obtain two Third Rank Inner Cores of demonic beasts.
For a long time, Taiyi Sect will not have to worry about a lack of Foundation Building Pills.
In addition, Taiyi Sect will regularly refine Lesser Foundation Building Pills. For cultivators with average aptitude and no higher aspirations, the drawbacks of taking Lesser Foundation Building Pills can be completely acceptable.
Under Meng Zhang's orders, Taiyi Sect controls the distribution of Lesser Foundation Building Pills strictly. Those favored by him or the upper echelons of the sect find it difficult to obtain Lesser Foundation Building Pills.
However, a considerable number of Lesser Foundation Building Pills produced by Taiyi Sect have leaked out. The surrounding cultivation forces, vassal families, and even loose cultivators can obtain Lesser Foundation Building Pills as long as they pay a sufficient price.
Over the years, the number of Foundation Building stage cultivators around Taiyi Sect has greatly increased.
Among Taiyi Sect disciples, many outstanding Foundation Building stage cultivators have emerged.
Meng Zhang's second disciple, An Xiaoran, and his third disciple, An Moran, came to Demon Wind Gobi after successfully achieving Foundation Building to help their eldest senior brother, Niu Dawei, develop the area.
An Xiaoran has always had exceptional talent in alchemy and practices the fire-wood attribute technique, "Fusang Sutra," which is highly suitable for alchemy. Shortly after reaching Foundation Building, she successfully advanced to the Second Rank Alchemist.
After arriving at Grand Lion Ridge, she established an alchemy workshop and extensively refined various pills using the collected materials of the demonic beasts.
Grand Lion Ridge possesses a Third Rank spirit vein, making it even more suitable as Taiyi Sect's main sect location. However, as long as the Dark Crow Demon General is not eliminated, Taiyi Sect cannot completely stabilize its territory in Demon Wind Gobi.
Therefore, despite Meng Zhang often being stationed at Grand Lion Ridge, the main sect of Taiyi Sect has not been moved there.
All the affairs on the Endless Sea of Sand side can only be handled by the elders and Hall Masters of the sect.
Not long after Gu Yue Huaidie returned to Gu Yue Family, she brought good news to Meng Zhang.
She helped Meng Zhang obtain a very good Third Rank mountain-guarding great formation - the Metal Wind Violent Flame Formation.
A Third Rank mountain-guarding great formation is a strategically important item, even in the Jiuqu League.
The few Third Rank mountain-guarding Formations sold in Great Wind City are expensive and of mediocre power.
Gu Yue Family's strength allows them to obtain top-tier Third Rank mountain-guarding great formations, but Gu Yue Huaidie helped Meng Zhang out of personal friendship, so she couldn't easily use the family's resources.
Previously, while in the small world of Purple Gold Sect, Daoist Master Angry Flame and Daoist Master Dark Flame of Fire Cloud Sect obtained several secret boxes left behind by Purple Gold Sect cultivators.
Daoist Master Dark Flame self-destructed, and the secret box on him naturally perished along with him. However, Daoist Master Angry Flame was killed by Meng Zhang and his group, so the secret boxes on him fell into their hands.
After leaving that small world, they tried to open these secret boxes and obtain the items inside.
They thought it would be an easy task, but it proved to be quite challenging.
Opening the secret boxes was not difficult for their Cultivation Base, but forcefully doing so might result in damaging the items inside.
Helpless, the three of them had to put these secret boxes aside temporarily.
When Gu Yue Huaidie returned to Great Wind City, she brought these secret boxes with her and prepared to seek help in opening them.
Back in the family, Gu Yue Huaidie contacted a familiar Gold Core Daoist Master from Clever Machine Sect, paid him a reward, and asked for his help.
Indeed, he was skilled in puppet techniques and had significant accomplishments in formation restrictions.
With little effort, the Clever Machine Sect's Gold Core Daoist Master effortlessly opened the secret boxes that had left Meng Zhang's group at a loss.
These secret boxes were from ordinary disciples of Purple Gold Sect, and originally, Meng Zhang and the others didn't attach much importance to them.
However, after opening them, two treasures inside the secret boxes made the Clever Machine Sect's Gold Core Daoist Master covet them.
Of course, he didn't have the courage to forcefully take Gu Yue Huaidie's belongings. Instead, he politely requested a trade, hoping to exchange for those items.
Considering that Meng Zhang currently needed a Third Rank mountain-guarding great formation, Gu Yue Huaidie proposed using these two treasures to acquire a high-quality Third Rank mountain-guarding great formation.
The Clever Machine Sect was adept at mechanical puppets and had great achievements in formations. After some negotiation, Gu Yue Huaidie finally fulfilled Meng Zhang's request and helped him obtain the Metal Wind Violent Flame Formation.
