Chapter 235 The War Spreads
In addition, Meng Zhang also inspected several mineral properties owned by the sect.
Now that there is no big mountain like Shuangfeng Valley, Linquan Temple is relatively gentle towards vassal forces, and Taiyi Sect has sufficient strength. The few minerals in the sect's territory are not particularly precious.
Therefore, Taiyi Sect can now openly and vigorously mine minerals everywhere, without having to be secretive.
With the use of insect jars to control sandworm mining, Taiyi Sect has indeed saved a lot of manpower.
Of course, minerals like Baizang Earth Mine still require a large amount of manpower to be mined.
Now due to the raging sand monsters, fighting continues near the territory of the Feihong Sect. Many oases have been breached and countless mortals have been displaced.
Although the Feihong Sect tried its best to rescue them, there were still many mortals who, either actively or passively, were brought to Lin Quanguan's side.
Several sects have surprisingly consistent attitudes towards introducing more mortals.
Meng Zhang spent a lot of thought and bargained with several sects before introducing a large number of mortals.
Ordinary mortals can settle down in the oasis and live a stable life from then on.
Among them, those who harbored disloyal intentions and were restless were all sent to various mining sites.
Taiyi Sect is a righteous sect, and Meng Zhang also has a bottom line in his actions.
Taiyi Sect will not mistreat these mortal miners and will ensure their minimum treatment.
Meng Zhang carefully observed several mineral deposits.
Every mine is guarded by dedicated disciples.
Around the mine, there are disciples riding wind-chasing horses and patrolling dogs, conducting strict patrols.
In the sky, there is a tamed red-feathered eagle patrolling back and forth from time to time.
Once something is found to be wrong, the guarding disciples will be notified immediately.
If something cannot be handled by the guarding disciples, the sect will be notified and someone will be sent to handle it.
Minerals everywhere are still very tightly guarded. At least those casual cultivators in the Qi refining period are unlikely to come and rob them, grab a handful and run away.
After inspecting the sect's territory, Meng Zhang returned to the sect.
Next, Meng Zhang's main focus was on cultivation. In addition to occasionally handling the affairs of the sect, he also inspected the inside and outside of the sect from time to time.
As the population in the territory increases, the number of disciples who awaken their spiritual roots and join the sect every year also increases. When these disciples grow up, Taiyi Sect will usher in another wave of great development.
Since Meng Zhang took Buyuan Dan to replenish his foundation, his progress in cultivation has also been rapid.
He has excellent qualifications and extremely high understanding. Even if he has entered the foundation building stage, he still has a great advantage in cultivation.
Meng Zhang himself estimated that in a few years, after he has completed his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he can try to hit the middle stage of foundation building.
When he had free time, Meng Zhang also studied the "Dayan Divine Calculation". Unfortunately, even with Meng Zhang's understanding, he felt like he was reading a heavenly book, and basically gained nothing.
Wanting to give up right now, Meng Zhang felt very unwilling to do so.
Even among the inheritance that Meng Zhang obtained from the trial place, there is no inheritance of Tianjishu, which shows how rare and precious the inheritance of Tianjishu is. Now I finally got a book of Tianjishu, which seems to be one of Meng Zhang's.
This kind of opportunity should not be let go easily.
After that, Meng Zhang also occasionally read this book "Dayan Divine Calculation", hoping to gain some understanding.
Although he failed to learn the art of Tianji, Meng Zhang did not relax at all in his study of Taoism.
I spend a lot of time every day reciting Taoist scriptures and meditating on them carefully.
Meng Zhang, who knew that studying the Taoist scriptures could not be rushed, was mentally prepared that he would not be able to achieve results within decades.
There are no major incidents in the area around Linquan Temple. The external environment of Taiyi Sect is stable, and the internal sect develops steadily.
Just like that, another two years passed.
Both Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect have lived a quiet life for two years.
On the other hand, on the side of Feihong Sect, the war between Feihong Sect and Sand Monster is still going on.
Although Feihong Sect has gained a slight upper hand, it has not gained an absolute advantage.
Feihong Sect and its vassals suffered heavy losses, but Lin Quanguan and its vassals developed steadily.
Within Feihong Sect, some monks were dissatisfied with this and proposed to recruit Lin Quanguan and his vassals to participate in the war to exterminate the sand monster.
Since the Feihong Sect has shown an attitude of treating Lin Quanguan as an equal, it seems inappropriate to forcefully recruit Lin Quanguan and his vassals. Moreover, Guangzhi Zhenren also worked very hard in the war to encircle and suppress the sand monster and made a considerable contribution.
Within the Feihong Sect, within a short period of time, they could not think of recruiting Lin Quanguan and his vassals.
Some time later, the Sand Monster Rebellion suddenly broke out near Lin Quanguan, and no one within the Feihong Sect mentioned the matter of recruiting Lin Quanguan.
When the Sand Monster Rebellion first broke out, it was actually on the territory of the Liu family.
A large group of sand monsters came from nowhere, including even second-level sand monsters, and easily swept through the Liu family's territory.
The Liu family's few vassals and several strongholds were easily wiped out by the sand monster army.
The Liu family suffered heavy losses in the wars with Taiyi Sect and other sects in the past few years, and their vitality is far from being restored.
The Liu family, whose strength has plummeted, is unable to eliminate the sand monsters in their territory. They can only close the mountain gate tightly and wait for help.
The Liu family's territory is close to Lin Quanguan. This group of sand monsters did not attack the Liu family's mountain gate. Instead, they tended to flow into the Lin Quanguan territory.
Fortunately, Lin Quanguan reacted in time and sent out his masters as quickly as possible, and was able to barely repel the group of sand monsters.
If the sand monster is not completely wiped out, it will wander around and destroy all human settlements it encounters.
Now that Lin Quanguan has become the overlord nearby, the responsibility of exterminating this group of sand monsters also falls on its head.
Lin Quanguan began to fully mobilize and mobilize monks. In addition, Lin Quanguan also issued a recruitment order to his vassals.
Linquan Temple originally did not have any vassal forces, and several cultivator families in the territory have basically integrated into Linquan Temple, and are actually integrated with Linquan Temple.
Therefore, the main targets of Lin Quanguan's recruitment were several forces that he later defected to.
Since it was the first time to recruit Taiyi Sect and other sects, Lin Quanguan issued a very strict recruitment order in order to make a good start.
It is strictly forbidden for major sects to hide their strength, and they must go all out and use their best talents.
As a result, Taiyi Sect and other sects were forced to fully mobilize.
At this time, Yang Xueyi had completed her Qi refining and could have tried to enter the foundation building stage. However, the Taiyi Sect was recruited, and she also volunteered to fight.
Meng Zhang was originally going to find an excuse to keep Yang Xueyi at the door, but Yang Xueyi insisted on going out to fight, and Meng Zhang couldn't get her to do it, so he only agreed.
Knowing that this battle to eliminate the sand monsters was very difficult, and coupled with Lin Quanguan's strict order, Taiyi Sect had no reservations.
