Chapter 269: Tranquil

At this moment, Meng Zhang felt a profound sense of powerlessness. Facing the Gold Core sects, whether it was the Taiyi Sect or himself, there wasn't much they could do but wait silently for the situation to unfold.

However, it didn't mean that Meng Zhang had done nothing. On one hand, he actively sought external information, gathering the latest developments to be well-prepared for any changes. Additionally, he remained dedicated to his cultivation. No matter how the situation evolved, having a stronger Cultivation Base would give him more adaptability.

As time passed slowly, the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand remained calm, contrary to everyone's expectations of impending turmoil.

After Guang ZhiDaoist Master returned to the Forest Spring Watch, he didn't stay long before embarking on another journey.

Similarly, after the Earthfire Sect's Grand Elder, Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, formed the core, he didn't linger in the sect and disappeared without a trace.

The Flying Swan Sect didn't take any action against the Earthfire Sect, and everything seemed to carry on as usual, as if Daoist Master Roaring Blaze hadn't even formed the core.

The Earthfire Sect was exceedingly calm as well, not stirring up any trouble or attempting to challenge the dignity of the Flying Swan Sect just because they now had an additional Gold Core Daoist Master.

Even the previously hot-tempered cultivators in the Earthfire Sect had become more restrained in recent times.

While the Qi Family and Flying Swan Sect were in a standoff, there had been no major conflicts.

Once the disciples sent by the Flying Swan Sect dealt with the external forces that secretly infiltrated the Endless Sea of Sand, they returned to their sect.

With more disciples, naturally, some outstanding individuals emerged. In recent years, two disciples had caught Meng Zhang's attention.

One of them was named Fang Tong, who had recently broken through to the Refining Qilate stage. The Fang family had been influential in Sweetwater Oasis and had followed the Taiyi Sect for many years, providing numerous cultivators. Of course, there had also been traitors like Fang Yong among them.Fang Tong and Fang Yong, these two senior clan members, are entirely different. Fang Tong is a talented and hardworking individual loyal to the sect. His aptitude is outstanding, and he diligently cultivates. Most importantly, he is just and rigorous in his actions.

Meng Zhang initially assigned Fang Tong to the Law Enforcement Hall as an ordinary disciple. After observing him for several years, Meng Zhang found that Fang Tong was impartial and strictly followed the law, never showing favoritism. His work left Meng Zhang very satisfied. When Fang Tong reached the Refining Qilate stage, Meng Zhang appointed him as the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, responsible for upholding the sect's regulations. This relieved Meng Zhang from personally holding the position of Hall Master and lightened his burden.

Another disciple is a young woman named Yang Qiaoniang, hailing from the Yang Family and Yang Xueyi's junior sister, only slightly younger than Yang Xueyi. Yang Qiaoniang's spiritual root awakened relatively late, close to the age of 18, which is the limit for awakening. Although she received special care from Yang Xueyi, her cultivation base remained average due to her mediocre aptitude. However, she displayed exceptional talent in culinary arts.

After several years of hard work and learning the essence of Yang Xueyi's culinary skills, Yang Qiaoniang became a competent spirit chef. Through Yang Xueyi's careful cultivation, she excelled in the culinary arts. Following Yang Xueyi's Foundation Building, she recommended Yang Qiaoniang to Meng Zhang to take over as the head of the kitchen. Meng Zhang readily agreed, lightening Yang Xueyi's burden and allowing her more time for her own pursuits.

As outstanding disciples continued to emerge within the sect, Wen Qiansun also approached Meng Zhang. He had recently completed the Refining Qicompletion stage and now intended to temporarily relinquish the position of Formations Hall Master to focus on breaking through to the Foundation Building stage. Despite being younger than Meng Zhang, Wen Qiansun's age was significantly higher. He awakened his spiritual roots late and entered the sect quite late, which made his path challenging despite his exceptional aptitude.

Wen Qiansun was now fifty-nine years old, and if he didn't attempt to break through to the Foundation Building stage now, he might never get another chance. However, attempting Foundation Building at his current age posed significant risks. Even a slight mistake could lead to demonic cultivation. Wen Qiansun was not content with remaining a Refining Qi cultivator forever; he had higher expectations for his own path.

Meng Zhang still remembered that when he was about nineteen years old, Wen Qiansun was already about thirty-five years old and had just awakened his spiritual roots, joining the Taiyi Sect. Initially, including himself, everyone within the sect didn't hold high expectations for Wen Qiansun. However, when Wen Qiansun displayed his talent in formations, Meng Zhang decided to focus on his training.

In Meng Zhang's heart, even if Wen Qiansun was only a Refining Qi stage disciple, his talent in formations was worth the Taiyi Sect's significant investment. Now, as Wen Qiansun prepared to risk it all and attempt the Foundation Building stage, Meng Zhang provided his support. Even before Meng Zhang could make a request, Yang Xueyi handed over her Foundation Building Pill to Wen Qiansun upon learning of his intentions.

Of course, Yang Xueyi made it clear that the Foundation Building Pill wasn't a free gift; she loaned it to Wen Qiansun temporarily. After Wen Qiansun successfully reached Foundation Building, he would have to find a way to return one Foundation Building Pill to her.
