When Taiyimen wants to purchase bulk materials such as grain, they send people to the market, hire large camel beasts, and use the camel beasts to load them back. As for the dangers encountered on the road, of course it is up to the Taiyi Sect to deal with them themselves.
Tian Zhen didn’t want to disturb Meng Zhang’s practice, so he took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to go on his own.
Meng Zhang rejected Tian Zhen’s proposal and decided to go there himself.
For one thing, after staying in the door to practice for so long, he also wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
Secondly, his cultivation and strength are far above Tian Zhen. If he encounters any danger, he will have stronger ability to deal with it.
Meng Zhang has decided the matter, and Tian Zhen, the general affairs elder, will not argue with him.
Before leaving, Tian Zhen reminded Meng Zhang that the spiritual field in the door was about to be harvested and there were not enough people in the door. If Meng Zhang didn’t hire casual cultivators from outside to help, he would have to call back the seniors who were retiring in Tianshui Oasis to help.
Meng Zhang kept Tian Zhen’s reminder in mind.
The closest city to Taiyi Gate is Mingshafang City, which belongs to Shuangfeng Valley. It is near Mingsha Mountain more than 700 miles south of Taiyi Gate.
On the day of departure, it was still dark, so Meng Zhang set out early in the morning.
Meng Zhang rode on Xiaobai, the horse chasing the wind, with a storage bag hanging all over his body.
This image is the standard image of many cultivators. There is not enough storage space in the storage bag, so you have to make up the quantity.
The cultivator with storage bags hanging all over his body is just like a nine-bag elder.
Meng Zhang entered the trial area during this period and almost consumed all the more than 400 low-grade spiritual stones seized from the three brothers of the Zhang family.
There are less than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones in the Taiyi Sect’s warehouse, and Meng Zhang brought 800 with him. The storage bag on his body is filled with pure red copper refined by himself.
This time when he went to Mingshafang City, Meng Zhang also had his own plan. Worried about not having enough spirit stones, I had to sell these red coppers.
The thousand-mile horse in mortal legend is said to be able to travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.
As a first-order monster known for its speed, the Wind Chasing Horse can run faster than the legendary Chollima.
Meng Zhang set out early in the morning, riding his horse continuously on the road without any pause. At one o’clock at noon, we arrived near Mingsha Mountain.
All along the way, there is endless yellow sand. Except for desert, it is still desert, and there is not even a hint of green.
The terrain that occasionally changes slightly is the sand slopes of varying heights formed by the accumulation of sand grains.
Meng Zhang, who rarely goes out once in a while, has long been tired of seeing this same scene.
When he arrived at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, Meng Zhang felt his eyes light up.
Mingsha Mountain is only a few hundred meters high, but it is considered a rare high mountain in the surrounding area.
After years of sand erosion, many large and small holes have appeared on Mingsha Mountain.
Whenever a strong wind blows on the desert, and the strong wind passes through these large and small holes, there will be bursts of piercing screams and whines. This is also the origin of the name Mingsha Mountain.
At the foot of Mingsha Mountain, there is a broad second-order spiritual vein.
Hundreds of years ago, Shuangfenggu, the ruler of the Mingsha Mountain area, established the city of Mingshafang based on this second-level spiritual vein.
Mingshafang City is considered a thoroughfare. It is in an excellent location and is close to many surrounding families and sects, many of which are comparable to Shuangfeng Valley.
Shuangfeng Valley released some of its benefits and introduced forces such as Lin Quanguan and the Liu family.
After hundreds of years of development, Mingshafang City has become the most prosperous trading market in the surrounding area. While bringing huge benefits to Shuangfeng Valley, it also greatly facilitates transactions between surrounding forces.
After walking around Mingsha Mountain, Meng Zhang saw Mingshafang City in front of him.
It is a rare piece of green in the desert, surrounded by forests, flowing rivers and shaded by green grass.
A variety of buildings stand on a green town.
Outside the town, caravans driving camels came and went from time to time.
This beautiful town is Mingshafang City, which Shuangfeng Valley has worked hard for many years.
Relying on this second-order spiritual vein, a second-order high-grade protective formation is set up on it to protect Fang City.
Fang City is surrounded by a protective array, which is enough to block all invading enemies.
Only one gate is left in the north and south directions of Fang City for entry and exit from Fang City.
Meng Zhang rode the wind-chasing horse Xiaobai directly to the southern gate of Mingshafang City.
There are two cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining here, guarded by a team of guards.
After registering his identity at the gate and paying the city gate tax for two low-grade spiritual stones, Meng Zhang successfully entered Mingshafang City.
Although Taiyi Sect is a small sect, it is still a vassal force of Shuangfenggu, and can barely be regarded as half of its own.
With his status as the leader of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang still has some conveniences in Mingshafang City.
After entering Fangshi, Meng Zhang first found a hotel to stay in and settled Xiaobai, the chasing horse.
Then Meng Zhang was not in a hurry to shop, but wandered around the market.
I saw various shops on the road and went in to take a look. Even if you don’t buy something, ask about the price. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com
Fortunately, I walked along the way and entered many shops, and I never encountered any situation where I looked down upon others.
Most of the shop assistants or shopkeepers are quite enthusiastic.
Meng Zhang used his psychic powers many times to explore their innermost thoughts.
Meng Zhang still has no psychological pressure on using his psychic powers on outsiders.
Furthermore, Meng Zhang did not intend to peek into their innermost thoughts, he just wanted to know more about the various market conditions and prices in Mingshafang City.
It was not until dinner time that Meng Zhang returned to the hotel where he was staying.
Mingshafang City was built on a second-order spiritual vein, although Shuangfenggu used the spirit gathering array to gather most of the spiritual energy in Fang City and control the output position of the spiritual energy.
But in most places in Mingshafang City, the spiritual energy is still many times stronger than outside.
In order to prevent poor cultivators from going to Mingshafang City to gain spiritual energy, Shuangfenggu has also taken many measures.
If you enter Fang City, you must pay a city gate tax. Except for registered residents within Fang City, outside cultivators must either stay in hotels or buy and rent houses…
Vagrants are absolutely not allowed in the city, let alone sleeping on the street.
The hotel where Meng Zhang stayed was owned by Lin Quanguan.
In addition to providing accommodation services, the hotel also provides restaurant business, providing three meals a day.
Lin Quanguan’s method of cooking various spiritual foods can be said to be famous far and wide.
Simple spiritual rice and vegetables can be turned into delicacies in the hands of a chef, and they can fully stimulate the spiritual energy contained in the ingredients, making it easier for cultivators to absorb them.
Although Taiyi Sect cultivates a large number of spiritual grains, most of them have to be sold to the outside world and exchanged for various materials.
It is impossible for the disciples of Taiyi Sect to have enough spiritual grain to eat.
