Although there is still a long way to go to escape completely, Meng Zhang relied on a little cleverness to withdraw almost half of the monks, which was a good start.
Of course, this is the limit of what he can do.
The Jade Sword Sect has an estimate of the approximate number of strong men and cultivators above the Golden Core stage owned by the major cultivating forces under it.
Not to mention anything else, all the monks of Taiyi Sect who formed elixirs on their own territory, with names and surnames and clear origins, were naturally controlled by Jade Sword Sect.
At the level of a Golden Core cultivator, it is difficult to hide from the Jade Sword Sect, and it is impossible to avoid the Jade Sword Sect’s recruitment. As for Yuanshen monks, the major cultivation forces have at most single digits, so it is naturally impossible to hide them.
Although it is impossible for the Jade Sword Sect to know all the low-level monks in every force, it has a rough estimate. When issuing recruitment orders, they try their best to squeeze the potential of the major cultivation forces.
With Meng Zhang’s consistent good performance and his attitude of being incompatible with the Dali Dynasty, the Jade Sword Sect was a little more relaxed towards the Taiyi Sect, giving him the opportunity to preserve part of his strength with a little trick.
If he had no sense of propriety and continued to let other Jindan masters pretend to be seriously injured, then the senior officials of the Jade Sword Sect might come over and check it out personally.
In the following time, because neither side had the intention to start another war, the situation fell into a temporary state of peace.
No matter what others did, Meng Zhang took the time and started his routine practice anyway.
With these few harvests, he doesn’t have to worry about the Nine Heavens Essence for the time being. Even more luxuriously, he can directly absorb the refining jade spirit machine.
A group of elders from the Taiyi Sect managed the entire sect and the Hanhai Dao Alliance in an orderly manner, so he didn’t need to worry too much.
After the fourth-level Taoist robe he wore, the colorful glow robe, was injured last time, the weapon spirit fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.
Meng Zhang released the power of his soul and slowly warmed it up.
After such a period of time, its condition has improved greatly.
The power of a fourth-level magic weapon like the Colorful Ray Robe would be greatly reduced without the active cooperation of the weapon spirit, not to mention that the body of the magic weapon is also seriously damaged.
Fortunately, this magic weapon has the ability to automatically repair. Now it’s just that the weapon spirit has fallen into a deep sleep, and the repair ability has not been fully exerted.
What Meng Zhang has to do now is to slowly consume the power of his soul to help the weapon spirit wake up as soon as possible.
Speaking of weapon spirits, Meng Zhang seized a fourth-level flying sword from Marshal Wang this time.
The weapon spirit of this flying sword is very tough and has never surrendered to Meng Zhang.
If the weapon spirit does not cooperate or even hinders him, even if he uses the flying sword forcefully, it will not be able to exert much power.
In the Taiyi Sect’s inheritance classics, many methods for subduing weapon spirits are recorded.
Some are gentle, some are tough, there are many methods of coercion, inducement, coaxing and deception.
Most of the weapon spirits of the fourth-level magic weapons have the intelligence of ordinary people at best, but they cannot defeat the cunning cultivators.
Needless to say the specific process, anyway, it took a lot of effort for Meng Zhang to subdue the spirit of this fourth-level magic weapon.
This flying sword is called Qianjun, and the spirit of the weapon and the flying sword have the same name.
Qianjun was made by a master craftsman enshrined by the Dali Dynasty using meteorite iron from the sky and Gengjin from the seabed. It has both water and metal properties.
Gold and water, two mutually reinforcing attributes of the five elements, greatly increase the power of the flying sword.
When the flying sword is successfully refined, it is only at level three.
Marshal Wang took him with him and fought in all directions together. After a long time, he was slowly promoted to the fourth level.
Among the fourth-level flying swords, Qianjun is not that outstanding. It can only be said to be a little better than the big guys.
However, there is absolutely no mortal thing that can grow into a fourth-level flying sword.
Before, Meng Zhang didn’t even have a fourth-level magic weapon in his hand. Xu Mengying gave him a colorful glow robe, but it was mainly used for defense.
Now that I have grabbed a Thousand Army Sword, I finally have an offensive weapon.
However, the only fly in the ointment is that the Thousand Army Sword was personally upgraded to a fourth-level magical weapon by Marshal Wang, and its weapon spirit was created by Marshal Wang.
Qian Ling Qianjun is too loyal to Marshal Wang and cannot completely surrender. Although Meng Zhang ostensibly surrendered, he did not dare to trust the other party too much.
Meng Zhang had to forcibly place a restriction in the weapon spirit’s body to prevent the weapon spirit from rebelling.
In this way, because the weapon spirit is restricted, it cannot fully assist Meng Zhang in urging the flying sword, and the power of the flying sword is also greatly reduced.
But no matter what, having a fourth-level flying sword in hand is better than nothing.
Due to the ample supply of cultivation resources, Meng Zhang’s cultivation speed has not slowed down too much and is still advancing steadily.
To be honest, most people in the Jiuqu League, including Meng Zhang, wish that this peaceful situation could continue forever without having to fight to the death with the terrifying Dali Dynasty army.
Once this settled down, however, many internal problems began to erupt.
In order to obtain war supplies, the Jade Sword Sect once again issued a collection order to all major cultivating forces under its command, forcibly collecting all kinds of supplies they had.
Both manpower and material resources, these cultivation forces suffered great losses in the previous wars.
Now is the time to recuperate and look for Shuyuanｗｗｗ.zhaoshuyuan.com to restore vitality. However, the Jade Sword Sect ignores everyone’s difficulties and forcibly collects them. It is really a bit too much.
However, the Jade Sword Sect is fierce and powerful, and now they have the support of the Purple Sun Sect. These cultivation forces are unable to resist at all. They can only empty their treasury and drain the family’s wealth. They have almost no way to deal with the Jade Sword Sect. Endless demands.
The Taiyi Sect cannot avoid such forced recruitment.
Although the subordinate Hanhai Dao Alliance shared a part, Taiyi Sect also almost emptied the sect’s large treasury before barely meeting the requirements of Jade Sword Sect.
Fortunately, for Yuanshen sects like Taiyi Sect, Jade Sword Sect still has some leeway and does not push too hard.
Some truly rare spiritual objects were secretly kept by Niu Dawei.
After receiving Meng Zhang’s instructions from the weak water **** general, he began to secretly transfer rare items to Maple Leaf Mountain City. At the same time, a few children with good qualifications were sent over.
In addition, no outsiders know what Taiyi Sect has achieved in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
If it were not for the existence of the Purple Sun Sect, I am afraid that some cultivation forces on the Jiuqu Alliance would begin to secretly contact the Dali Dynasty.
The Jade Sword Sect’s actions have greatly harmed everyone’s interests, and will of course cause everyone to be dissatisfied.
Repulse the enemy and win the battle. Not only will you be rewarded for your merits, but you will also need to further increase your exploitation. No matter how harsh your master is, you will not do this.
But the Jade Sword Sect did this because they really had no choice.
The senior officials of Jade Sword Sect also want to make rewards and punishments clear and rewards based on merit, and they are also unwilling to continue sending more troops and levying more taxes.
However, the army of the Dali Dynasty only retreated temporarily, and the main force was not damaged. They may come back at any time.
The Jade Sword Sect had to collect supplies, strengthen defenses, and prepare for battle.
