ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

With the help of the senior steward, Meng Zhang spent a large sum of spirit stones to buy two fake Third Rank talismans refined by a Gold Core Daoist Master. While these talismans wouldn't have a significant impact in Gold Core level battles, they could still be decisive in fights between cultivators at the Foundation Building stage.

In addition to the talismans, Meng Zhang also purchased a large pile of miscellaneous items. He was carrying plenty of spirit stones with him this time, considering renting a Third Rank spirit vein. He packed all his belongings in high-capacity storage rings and bracelets, with a few storage bags as well.

Fully loaded with his purchases, Meng Zhang returned to the inn where he was staying. Over the following days, he enjoyed exploring Great Wind City and even visited the Gu Yue Family, where he met Gu Yue Youlan a few times. He participated in several dharma meetings held by Gu Yue Family's Foundation Building cultivators, engaging in discussions on cultivation and Dao.

Thanks to his relationship with Gu Yue Huaidie, the cultivators from Gu Yue Family treated Meng Zhang fairly well and didn't see him as an outsider. During their interactions, they willingly shared useful knowledge and experiences. Meng Zhang, as a cultivator who had completed the Foundation Building stage, had received some inheritances from Taiyi Sect's prime era. Whenever he casually revealed something, it astonished the cultivators from Gu Yue Family, leaving them greatly enlightened.

Of course, cultivators from Gold Core families like Gu Yue Family were not just renowned in name; they could also present many useful items. The exchanges during this period were mutually beneficial, and no one felt that their time had been wasted.

Unbeknownst to them, half a month had passed.

That evening, as Meng Zhang returned to his rented room, he saw Yue Jing, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, waiting at his courtyard gate.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Over the years, Yue Jing had become even more graceful and elegant. She covered her face with a thin veil, obscuring most of her stunning features. When they were in the Endless Sea of Sand, Meng Zhang had seen Yue Jing's true appearance. Now, she exuded an extraordinary aura.

During these years, Meng Zhang had become a Foundation Building cultivator, while Yue Jing had not been idle either. She had honed her skills in concealing her aura and hiding her strength to the point where even Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye couldn't discern her true Cultivation Base. He could only roughly estimate that she was at least at the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

Yue Jing praised Meng Zhang endlessly for his achievements. When she heard about the conflicts with the black market, she first felt angry and then helpless. Luo Ye had been away from the Endless Sea of Sand for a long time, and her influence there had gradually waned. If others refused to give her face or recognize her status, there was little Yue Jing could do about it.

Although the Endless Sea of Sand and the Jiuqu League were close neighbors, the black markets on both sides were entirely separate systems within the Dark Alliance, and it was challenging for them to interfere with each other.

Meng Zhang, however, paid no attention to it. He didn't rely on the power of Yue Jing and her master to deal with the black market of the Endless Sea of Sand.

Taiyi Sect was not something that could be easily provoked by a mere black market. If they wanted, they could gather their forces and easily wipe out that place beneath Firewell Market.

In fact, after Taiyi Sect took control of Firewell Market, the black market side had frequently shown goodwill, hoping to mend their relationship with Taiyi Sect. They were temporarily forced to bow down.

Apart from the black market in Flying Swan City, the black market beneath Firewell Market was the most important base of the Dark Alliance in the Endless Sea of Sand. They couldn't easily abandon it unless they had no other choice.

For the black market to continue to exist as it did, it needed Taiyi Sect's tolerance and acceptance.

Meng Zhang, however, maintained an indifferent attitude and kept a sufficient distance from the black market. He believed that in future negotiations with the black market, maintaining this position would be advantageous.

Before Meng Zhang left the Endless Sea of Sand for Great Wind City, he hadn't had a chance to directly contact the black market side.
