Chapter 938: Mustard Seed Space |
The Big Merchant Families, including the Grand Commerce Alliance, spent nearly a year to hand over all the compensatory cultivation resources to Taiyi Sect.
After thorough inspection and confirmation by the high-level members, including Sect Master Meng Zhang, all the resources were stored within the sect, and the transfer of materials between both parties came to an end.
This dispute between Taiyi Sect and the three big merchant families has temporarily come to a close. Both sides are expected to maintain peace and tranquility for a long time to come.
Having suffered this painful defeat, the Big Merchant Alliance is unlikely to take initiative against Taiyi Sect until they are absolutely certain of their chances of success.
Thanks to the efforts of Meng Zhang and others, Taiyi Sect has won valuable time for development, and Meng Zhang himself can now catch his breath.
The next time the Big Merchant Families launch an attack, they will face much stronger opponents.
During this year, Yang Xueyi also refined the Fourth Rank magic tool that was allocated to her previously.
Originally, as a symbol cultivator, her cultivation of the "Five Elements Heavenly Talisman Scripture" and the natal true symbol, "Five Elements Heavenly Talisman," already surpassed many Fourth Rank magic tools.
However, Meng Zhang still had her refine a defensive magic tool – the White Cloud Veil.
When True Monarch Liao Xing was killed, the White Cloud Veil suffered only minor damage.
Yang Xueyi only needed to invest some heavenly materials and place it high in the sky, allowing it to absorb the essence of clouds fully, and it would naturally repair itself over time.
With Yang Xueyi's ability, taming the tool spirit of the White Cloud Veil and completely refining the magic tool was not a difficult task.
In future battles, she only needs to activate the White Cloud Veil, and it will manifest clouds to cover her completely.
The other similar defensive magic tool captured from True Monarch Liao Yuan was allocated to True Monarch He Luo.
The Fourth Rank flying swords of the Liao brothers were all handed over to Meng Zhang and his group.
Xu Mengying received one of them and brought it back to Yellow Lotus Sect. The other one was temporarily placed in Taiyi Sect's treasury by Meng Zhang.
As Yang Xueyi recently achieved the Primordial Spirit stage and her cultivation base is still shallow, she is unwilling to refine more Fourth Rank magic tools to avoid affecting her own cultivation base.
As for the other severely damaged Fourth Rank magic tools, no one took an interest in them, so Meng Zhang stored them in Taiyi Sect's treasury.
In the future, when Taiyi Sect has more Primordial Spirit cultivators and skilled Grandmaster Refiners, there might be the capability to repair these magic tools.
During this period, Taiyi Sect disciples made all-out efforts to collect many materials that would be useful to Meng Zhang.Meng Zhang exchanged many unused items he had seized from the last battle with other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs through bartering, obtaining some useful spiritual treasures. He even made a trip to the Heavenly Palace, spending a considerable amount of pure jade inspiration to purchase the required materials. With the compensation from the Big Merchant Families and others, he currently had no shortage of pure jade inspiration. The Nine Heavens Refined Essence needed for the cultivation of other cultivators in the sect would not be scarce for a long time.
After gathering all the materials, Meng Zhang used the captured Universal Celestial Stone as the main material and utilized Taiyi Sect's secret technique to begin crafting his own Mustard Seed Space. He attached great importance to this Mustard Seed Space, sparing no expense to ensure a solid foundation and the potential for further improvement.
With everything ready, he embarked on the lengthy refining process. The Mustard Seed Space was not considered a magic tool, although it possessed certain magical characteristics. Meng Zhang's proficiency in the art of artifact crafting was average, but he followed the method recorded in the secret technique without encountering significant issues.
In fact, he had previously successfully crafted a special magic tool called the Sun Moon Treasure Pearl based on the records of the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra." This magic tool was unique because it had limited utility in the hands of others but could unleash its greatest power in the hands of a cultivator practicing the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra."
The Mustard Seed Space was a personal exclusive space for the refiner, fully owned by the one who created it. It took Meng Zhang nearly two years to complete the initial refinement. From scratch, using the Universal Celestial Stone as the foundation, he carved out a completely independent small space within his body.
This small space was quite large, with a radius of a hundred zhang and a height of ten zhang. Moreover, its spatial barrier was thick, making the space highly stable. Having laid a solid foundation, the space would continue to expand in the future.
Meng Zhang was proficient in the Space Grand Dao but primarily cultivated the Yin Yang Grand Dao. He utilized the power of the Yin Yang Grand Dao to cleave through the chaos in the small space, demonstrating the changes of Yin and Yang. He then infused various Five Elements spiritual treasures as the basis for the small space.
Once this small space was born, it possessed a certain vitality and could hold various living creatures. After completing the initial refinement, Meng Zhang could finally free up his hands. From this point on, he needed to use the power of his Primordial Spirit to nurture and gradually strengthen this Mustard Seed Space.If Meng Zhang is willing to invest, in the future, he can continue to collect suitable spiritual treasures and gradually strengthen this small space step by step.
As for the initial results, Meng Zhang is quite satisfied.
The Mustard Seed Space will almost follow the refiner for their entire life. It will only shatter if Meng Zhang falls.
Currently, the most significant function of this Mustard Seed Space is to be used as a storage magic tool.
Of course, it is more convenient than regular storage magic tools.
For Meng Zhang, continuously nurturing this Mustard Seed Space is also a considerable burden, as it requires a significant consumption of Primordial Spirit power.
It is equivalent to the cost of nurturing a Fourth Rank magic tool.
Meng Zhang knows that all these efforts are entirely worthwhile.
As his cultivation base gradually improves and the Mustard Seed Space grows, it will acquire other marvelous abilities.
When the Mustard Seed Space grows into a small world, Meng Zhang can use the power of the small world to suppress enemies and protect himself.
While Meng Zhang was busy refining the Mustard Seed Space, Yang Xueyi and True Monarch He Luo were not idle either.
Currently, there are quite a few Gold Core stage cultivators in Taiyi Sect. Especially Wen Qiansun, who has already reached the Gold Core completion stage.
Yang Xueyi and True Monarch He Luo take turns leading the Gold Core stage cultivators of Taiyi Sect to venture into the Nine Heavens for training.
They slay cloud beasts and collect various useful resources.
Since reaching the Gold Core stage, Yang Xueyi has entered the Nine Heavens multiple times and accumulated rich experience.
After advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage, her survivability in the Nine Heavens greatly improved, and she can now enter many dangerous places she wouldn't have dared before.
As a newly-promoted Primordial Spirit True Monarch, Yang Xueyi's luck is quite good.
Not only has she killed cloud beasts with Primordial Spirit stage strength, but she also collected a considerable amount of Nine Heavens Refined Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.
With her harvest, even if she doesn't exchange Nine Heavens Refined Essence from the sect, the Nine Heavens Refined Essence she collected on her own can barely meet her personal cultivation needs.
With a Primordial Spirit True Monarch leading the team, the living conditions of Taiyi Sect's Gold Core cultivators in the Nine Heavens have improved significantly.
In addition to their training, they also have leisure time to collect various resources.
