Chapter 878: Fourth Rank Spirit Wood |
The Wonderful Pill Union is really too greedy, wanting to take advantage of every possible opportunity.
If they really achieve their goal and completely control the upper and lower ends of the medicine market in Jiuqu Province, it would be definitely not a good thing for the Taiyi Sect.
Not to mention, in the future, the prices of spirit medicines sold by the Taiyi Sect will be suppressed, while the prices of the spirit medicines they purchase will be high. How could Meng Zhang accept this?
Moreover, if Wonderful Pill Union succeeds in dealing with Changchun Outlook this time, after gaining an advantage, will they stop there or continue to aggressively target the local forces in Jiuqu Province? That remains uncertain.
Over the years, Meng Zhang has had occasional contact with Wen DongTrue Monarch.
When these forces from the Dali Dynasty's mainland entered Jiuqu Province in a big way, Wen DongTrue Monarch warned Meng Zhang that these guys are not easy to deal with.
These forces are not only rich and powerful but also have strong backing from many powerful figures in the Dali Dynasty.
Therefore, Meng Zhang has repeatedly tolerated and avoided conflicts with them.
But at this time, Wonderful Pill Union wants to dig into the foundation of Changchun Outlook, and the Master of Changchun Outlook, Daoist Master Mu Ri, is determined to resist to the end.
Of course, although he decided to intervene, there is also a strategy to consider.
Meng Zhang doesn't intend to have an irreconcilable feud with the Wonderful Pill Union; his main goal is to protect Changchun Outlook.
At the same time, he also wants to demonstrate his power and let these outsider powerhouses know that the Taiyi Sect is not easy to mess with.
Soon after, groups of elite cultivators from Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Alliance arrived near Changchun Outlook.
They didn't appear in the name of their sects or the Hanhai Alliance but under the pretext of helping friends, they came to support Changchun Outlook in facing external enemies.
These cultivators were extremely powerful in combat, fearless in both solo and group fights.
After several intense battles, both sides suffered casualties. But overall, Taiyi Sect had the upper hand.
Taiyi Sect is a well-known local force in Jiuqu Province, and these cultivation forces targeting Changchun Outlook knew how formidable they were.
Taiyi Sect not only took action but also demonstrated its strong power, making these guys think twice.
At this point, they could either retreat and give up targeting Changchun Outlook, or they would have to ask Wonderful Pill Union for support.
Now, it's time for Wonderful Pill Union to make a choice.
The high-level members of Wonderful Pill Union are proud and disdainful of these local bumpkins in Jiuqu Province.Moreover, targeting Changchun Outlook is only the beginning part of their grand plan.
If they encounter setbacks and have to give up right from the start, the whole plan will be scrapped.
Of course, even though they may look down on Meng Zhang, he is still a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
To deal with Meng Zhang, they would have to deploy a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
However, starting a battle among Primordial Spirit cultivators rashly would cause quite a stir.
So far, although these external forces have caused waves in Jiuqu Province, they have at least acted within certain rules and have not recklessly violated the customs of the Dali Dynasty.
Targeting a fellow Primordial Spirit True Monarch belonging to the Dali Dynasty would be a bit out of line.
More than a month after Taiyi Sect intervened in the matter of Changchun Outlook, those cultivators with ill intentions who came to provoke them were all repelled by the reinforcements sent by Meng Zhang.
Changchun Outlook has regained its tranquility, and there is no need to worry for the time being.
The mountain gate of Changchun Outlook is located in a valley.
The entire valley, including the surrounding hills, is protected by the Third Rank Mountain Guarding Great Formation.
Due to the recent turmoil, the Third Rank Mountain Guarding Great Formation has been in full operation to be ready to deal with external threats at any time.
With the retreat of the external forces, the threat has receded, and the power of the guarding formation has accordingly decreased.
Unfortunately, Changchun Outlook lost its pill business, and the expenses within the sect are tight, making life difficult. They try to save every bit they can, and the saved spiritual energy can be used elsewhere.
Behind Changchun Outlook, on a low hill, stands a tall tree that appears distinct from the others.
The hill is constantly surrounded by abundant spiritual energy.
Speaking of the density of spiritual energy, even the place where Daoist Master Mu Ri usually cultivates is far inferior to this location.
Even during the time when spiritual energy was drawn from within the sect to reinforce the Third Rank Mountain Guarding Great Formation, the spiritual energy in this place did not diminish in the slightest.
Despite the richness of spiritual energy here, no grass grows on the hill. All the spiritual energy and vitality converge on that tree.
The area around this hill is a forbidden zone for Changchun Outlook, and without the permission of Daoist Master Mu Ri, no one is allowed to approach.
Normally, there are few people who come here.A tall tree stands straight at the top of the hill, with few branches and leaves, looking sparse.
At the base of the tree, there is a middle-aged Taoist who sits here year-round, almost motionless.
Over time, he seems like a statue, seemingly devoid of any vitality or liveliness.
This person is Mu Huan Daoist Master, a closed-door disciple of Changchun True Monarch.
He keeps a low profile within Changchun Outlook, not widely known. Outside the sect, even fewer people know about him.
However, his cultivation base is even higher than that of Daoist Master Mu Ri; he is undoubtedly the number one expert in Changchun Outlook.
During the recent dangerous situation at Changchun Outlook, he did not leave this place at all and has been faithfully guarding it.
Tonight, as usual, he remains vigilant and dutifully guards the area.
Suddenly, Mu Huan Daoist Master's gaze freezes, and his face changes drastically. He was about to take action when a tremendous pressure descends from the sky, firmly pinning his body to the ground.
No matter how he struggles, he can't move an inch. Even the True Essence in his body comes to a halt.
A thin, elderly man with black beard and black hair appears in front of Mu Huan Daoist Master without a sound.
"Ah, there is a good deed from the heavens. I originally didn't want to take many lives. But since you're so unlucky to have seen through my traces..."
"You could have just sat there honestly, putting on a show, why did you have to be so diligent?"
"Now, your life is doomed."
The old man looks like he genuinely doesn't want to harm Mu Huan Daoist Master.
He glances at the tall tree behind Mu Huan Daoist Master and says with envy and resentment, "That old Changchun must have gotten some incredible luck to find this Fourth Rank Spirit Wood."
"With his physical body destroyed, his Primordial Spirit is sleeping inside the Spirit Wood. He can rely on the power of the Spirit Wood to nourish his Primordial Spirit and, once the Spirit Wood grows, he can use it to reshape his physical body. Truly clever calculation and method."
"Unfortunately, old Changchun, it's your bad luck that you encountered me."
"We had no grievances in the past, no animosity recently. But someone entrusted me, and I can't help but carry out my duty faithfully."
"When you reach the netherworld, blame only your fate for being like this."
