Chapter 188: Prepares to go to battle

Nobody knew who or which faction was spreading the message in secret. But now, most of the cultivators in the Endless Sea of Sand knew that White Hidden Earth could be used to construct the Guiding Tower and trigger the Heavenly Rainfall that occurred every three hundred years.

Cultivators who relied on the Heavenly Rainfall to form their core needed to regularly refine large quantities of White Hidden Earth crystals to neutralize the powerful Tenth Water aura within them. Although it could be used without these crystals, it was less effective.

Fei TianDaoist Master of the Flying Swan Sect had utilized the Heavenly Rainfall for core formation over three hundred years ago, so the sect had been purchasing White Hidden Earth crystals without limitations since then. This demand was for the benefit of Gold CoreDaoist Masters, and it required the entire might of the Flying Swan Sect.

When Xu Chengxian made the request, Meng Zhang knew that it was to supply Guang ZhiDaoist Master. Though Guang ZhiDaoist Master appeared elusive, he still maintained a secret method of communication with Forest Spring Watch.

The origin of the White Hidden Earth used to construct the Guiding Tower by Forest Spring Watch was unknown. Was the supply now facing problems? Since Forest Spring Watch had come to them, Meng Zhang couldn't refuse such an important customer.

Ever since the commercial route was cut off, their White Hidden Earth mine had been operating at half capacity. But now, upon Xu Chengxian's request, Meng Zhang assured him they would immediately resume full-scale mining. He even offered to provide some emergency stock of White Hidden Earth and a few White Hidden Earth crystals if they were urgently needed.

Meng Zhang's frank attitude was welcomed by Xu Chengxian and Lin Bailin. Forest Spring Watch had already become a Gold Core sect, and if Taiyi Sect could establish a connection with them, it would undoubtedly benefit their future development.

As for the price, Meng Zhang did not take advantage of the urgent need and offered a friendly price. Unfortunately, Forest Spring Watch couldn't provide too many spirit stones at the moment. This was not unexpected for Meng Zhang, as Guang ZhiDaoist Master, after core formation, needed a lot of spirit stones to set up spirit gathering formations for daily cultivation without a Third Rank spirit vein.

Forest Spring Watch, despite being a Foundation Building sect with profound background and vast resources, still faced challenges supporting a Gold CoreDaoist Master, especially with their income channels blocked by the Flying Swan Sect.

The Foundation Building stage representatives gathered again to discuss the upcoming joint efforts against the Golden Blade Sect and Qiaoshou Sect.

During this gathering, Aunt Jin's attitude toward Meng Zhang had improved significantly. To prepare for the alliance against the other two sects, Meng Zhang had deliberately approached Forest Mountain School and also built a good relationship with Aunt Jin.

Recently, Meng Zhang had placed a large order with Qiaoshou Sect for hundreds of standard Dao robes to provide their disciples with a unified attire. Before that, Taiyi Sect's disciples had looked like an unruly bunch due to a lack of uniformity.

Qiaoshou Sect, like Taiyi Sect, had faced difficult times because of the blockade by the Flying Swan Sect. The business of customizing Dao robes had been dormant for a long time, so Aunt Jin was pleased to have such a large customer in Meng Zhang.

In fact, Meng Zhang had found several areas of mutual benefit between the two sects. Qiaoshou Sect primarily grew spiritual mulberry trees in most of their spirit fields, using the leaves to feed spiritual silkworms. The silkworms produced spiritual silk, which was the main product of Qiaoshou Sect.

Due to the switch from agriculture to sericulture, Qiaoshou Sect had to purchase a large amount of spirit grain every year to feed their disciples. On the other hand, Taiyi Sect had surplus spirit grain every year due to their good harvests.

Meng Zhang had decided to slowly win over Qiaoshou Sect and drive a wedge between them and the Golden Blade Sect alliance. However, he knew it wouldn't be an easy task, and he was only trying it out.

Feeling overwhelmed at times by the intricate maneuvering and political struggles, Meng Zhang wished he had a clever strategist by his side. Although Li Xuan, the Elder responsible for external affairs, was good at networking and diplomacy, he lacked a few key elements to be a tactical mastermind.

After some simple preparations for the upcoming battle, a group of flying ships departed Singing Sand City for the location that was once Twin Success Valley.
