Chapter 83: Forest Spring Watch

The last time Meng Zhang was summoned by Twin Success Valley, he had a chance encounter with Forest Mountain School's Sect Master Xu Chengxian. Though it was their first meeting, they had a pleasant conversation. Later, when Meng Zhang discovered the nest of sand monsters, Forest Mountain School was the first to come to their aid.

Now, Forest Mountain School has specially sent an invitation, and Meng Zhang naturally wants to go in person. He is also very interested in the dharma meeting held by the Foundation Building stage cultivators. As a guest, he must prepare a generous gift.

Meng Zhang entrusted this matter to Li Xuan. With Li Xuan's rich experience, he could definitely prepare a gift suitable for Meng Zhang's identity. After giving the task to Li Xuan, Meng Zhang continued his cultivation. There was still a month before the dharma meeting, so there was no need to rush.

In his previous experiences, Meng Zhang had used Earth Escape Spells several times. In the desert, the Earth Escape Spell was a very practical spell. Now that his Cultivation Base had reached the Refining Qi stage, he was qualified to delve into escape techniques. Instead of immediately practicing the secret methods recorded in the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," Meng Zhang chose to first cultivate the Earth Escape Spell.

Although he did not possess an affinity for the Earth element nor had he practiced any Earth attribute techniques, Meng Zhang had never thought about reaching the highest realm in the Earth Escape Spell. As long as the spell was effective enough, it sufficed.

Li Xuan took on the task of preparing the gift and put in a lot of effort. He purchased several items, among which the most precious were a set of spiritual shell chess pieces from Forest Spring Watch. These pieces were crafted from the shells of spiritual shells unique to Forest Spring Watch and were exquisitely polished. They felt smooth and emitted a faint spiritual aura, as if moistened by water vapor.

Being neighbors to Twin Success Valley, Forest Spring Watch could stand up to their dominance, indicating that they had their own reserves and strength. In the location of their mountain gate, besides the dense forest and tall mountains, a clear spring flowed down, forming a stream in the mountains.

For cultivators in the Cultivation World, when refining tools, they often required a crucial step of quenching. The method and materials used for quenching were a secret of each tool refiner. The water from the spring at the top of Forest Spring Watch's mountain was a unique water used for quenching.

Large sects like Earthfire Sect had long been ordering the clear spring water from Forest Spring Watch. In the stream formed by the clear spring, a special kind of spirit fish called Grass Spring Spirit Fish lived. The flesh of the fish was delicious, and its meat contained gentle spiritual energy, which had a nourishing effect on the meridians. When cooked carefully by the skilled chefs of Forest Spring Watch, the fish not only had a unique flavor but also maximized its nourishing effects.

In the Endless Sea of Sand, encountering such a green mountain was a rare sight. Just gazing at it made one feel refreshed and at ease. This mountain was Forest Mountain School's Lin Mountain.

Seeing the forest covering the mountains, it was easy to understand the origin of its name.

At the foot of Lin Mountain were numerous oases of different sizes, where countless mortals lived. These mortals formed the important foundation of Forest Mountain School, and the quantity of mortals alone could roughly indicate the potential of Forest Mountain School.

On top of Lin Mountain flowed a Second Rank middle-grade spirit vein, while the oases below were home to several First Rank spirit veins. These First Rank spirit veins were guarded by Forest Mountain School's disciples and served as important outer bases for the school.

As soon as Meng Zhang and Li Xuan entered the outer area of Forest Mountain School and hadn't yet reached the foot of Lin Mountain, they encountered patrolling disciples. These disciples were responsible for welcoming guests. After inquiring about Meng Zhang and Li Xuan's identities, the disciples warmly led them forward and sent a message back using a transmission talisman.

Throughout the journey, they passed by several oases in the outer area of Forest Mountain School. The thriving lives of the mortals in the oases impressed Meng Zhang.

The disciples they encountered along the way were disciplined and well-trained. Even though their Cultivation Bases varied, they didn't appear disordered. As a sect with over three hundred years of heritage, Forest Mountain School's ability to govern and educate their disciples had its own unique qualities.

As a relatively wealthy vassal sect under Twin Success Valley, Forest Mountain School's disciples didn't display extravagance or decadence. Meng Zhang carefully observed the disciplined disciples and, from their magic tools, could tell that Forest Mountain School was financially robust.
