Chapter 622: Greatly is form the core
The matter of refining magic tools requires careful consideration. Currently, Shocking ThunderSpirit General's main focus is still on repairing the set of Mother - Child Transmission Disc.
During the process of repairing the Mother - Child Transmission Disc, a great thing happened. Delicate WaterSpirit General, originally a Third Rank Alchemist and Second Rank tool refiner, experienced significant improvement in her art of tool refinement during the process. She advanced to become a Third Rank tool refiner.
Of course, because the water refinement technique is relatively niche, there are not many magic tools that can be refined using it, and most of them are relatively special and niche magic tools. Delicate WaterSpirit General, as a Third Rank tool refiner, certainly cannot compare to Shocking ThunderSpirit General. After all, the fire refinement technique is currently the mainstream in the Cultivation World.
However, no matter what, having an additional Third Rank tool refiner in the sect is a tremendous benefit. Moreover, the water refinement technique is not without its merits; it has advantages in certain aspects that the fire refinement technique lacks.
At present, Taiyi Sect has already excelled in most aspects of the Hundred Arts at the First and Second Rank levels. Alchemists, tool refiners, spiritual farmers, Talisman Masters, beast tamers, and others are flourishing. But at the Third Rank level, there are still significant shortcomings.
Especially in the most crucial aspect of Alchemy, the sect only has Delicate WaterSpirit General as a Third Rank Alchemist. However, she prefers to travel outside rather than stay in the sect to practice alchemy obediently, making it challenging for Sect Master Meng Zhang to force her too much. He can only persuade her carefully to produce more elixirs.
The water refinement technique is a special alchemy technique, and there are not many elixir recipes that use this method. Among the Third Rank elixirs Delicate WaterSpirit General masters, the focus is on elixirs for restoring True Essence and healing injuries, as well as some special and niche elixirs.
The Water Element Elixir, which enhances Cultivation Base, is scarce in materials. Even if Delicate WaterSpirit General wants to refine more, it is impossible to achieve. Third Rank Alchemists across the entire Jiuqu League are limited, and most of the elixirs they refine are consumed within their own forces. The number of Third Rank elixirs that can flow into the market is small, and the quality is not high. However, whenever Third Rank elixirs, especially those directly enhancing Cultivation Base, appear on the market, they will trigger a fierce scramble.
With Taiyi Sect's current channels and financial resources, they cannot obtain enough Third Rank elixirs to supply all Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect. The Third Rank elixirs Meng Zhang obtained from the treasure vault this time are the most they have acquired in recent years.
Fortunately, Taiyi Sect is in a unique situation, as the four Guardian Spirit Generals do not need elixirs that enhance Cultivation Base much. With only a few other Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect, Taiyi Sect's overall strength can barely support them.The Pill Hall Master of Taiyi Sect, Zhang Yingying, is already old and has exhausted her potential. Breaking through to the Gold Core stage in this lifetime is virtually hopeless, let alone becoming a Third Rank Alchemist.
Shi Changqing, the Second Rank Alchemist who was once highly regarded from the Shi Family, died several years ago when his lifespan was depleted during meditation.
Meng Zhang has high expectations for his disciple, An Xiaoran. She cultivates the superior technique "Fusang Sutra," which not only possesses tremendous power but is also very suitable for alchemy. With her aptitude and foundation, achieving the Gold Core stage is something to look forward to.
Once she becomes a Third Rank Alchemist, it will be possible to completely solve the issue of Taiyi Sect's elixir supply.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Zhang has been back at Taiyi Sect for ten years. After so many years of effort, the Mother - Child Transmission Disc set has finally been completely repaired. This Mother - Child Transmission Disc, which cost a great deal of manpower and resources to fix, carries the hopes of many in Taiyi Sect.
During these ten years, the batch of Void Nether Stones that Daoist Master Black Fox promised Meng Zhang had already been delivered to Demon Wind Gobi and reached Taiyi Sect's hands. Furthermore, due to Daoist Master Black Fox's intention to establish good relations with Meng Zhang, he used his power to take good care of Taiyi Sect's business in the Jiuqu League.
With the repair of the Mother - Child Transmission Disc and the presence of the Void Nether Stones, the next step was naturally to conduct some testing. Deep EarthSpirit General personally placed the Mother - Child Transmission Disc's mother disc at the Hundred Grass Slope of Taiyi Sect's mountain gate. Meng Zhang and several Guardian Spirit Generals took turns trying it out by leaving the Hundred Grass Slope with a set of the child discs, then carefully placing the child disc and activating it while consuming Void Nether Stones.
They succeeded in teleporting back to the Hundred Grass Slope without encountering any issues. Then, they activated the mother disc and teleported back to where they placed the child disc. The initial successful test boosted everyone's confidence.
They took the child disc to places farther away from the Hundred Grass Slope, starting from ten li and increasing to one hundred li, five hundred li, one thousand li, and finally reaching ten thousand li. No matter how far they were from the Hundred Grass Slope, as long as they activated the Mother - Child Transmission Disc, they could successfully teleport back and forth instantly.
Of course, the farther the teleportation distance, the greater the consumption of Void Nether Stones. When they attempted teleportation over a distance of ten thousand li, they temporarily stopped as Void Nether Stones were too precious, and they didn't want to use too many.
Although Taiyi Sect now has a stock of Void Nether Stones, there is no stable source to obtain more. Even if Daoist Master Black Fox wants to be on good terms with Meng Zhang, he won't easily provide such precious resources as Void Nether Stones. Even with his connections and abilities, transporting Void Nether Stones from the south to the Jiuqu League is not an easy task.
Until they secure a stable source of Void Nether Stones, Taiyi Sect can only use them sparingly, using only a few for the tool refiners to refine magic tools while carefully preserving the high-quality Void Nether Stones for future use.
Using the Mother - Child Transmission Disc to mobilize forces across vast distances is an essential strategic matter. After repairing the Mother - Child Transmission Disc, the mother disc was placed in Taiyi Sect's mountain gate at Hundred Grass Slope, and the child disc was carefully kept by Meng Zhang.
Two more years passed, and Taiyi Sect had another major good fortune. Meng Zhang's personal disciple and the eldest disciple of the Sect Master, Niu Dawei, finally formed a Gold Core and successfully emerged from seclusion. On the day Niu Dawei formed his Gold Core, the spiritual energy in the sky surged, auspicious clouds gathered, and brilliant rays of light illuminated the surroundings.
Niu Dawei's successful formation of the Gold Core not only meant that Taiyi Sect had one more Gold Core Daoist Master but also held significant significance no matter how it was described. After years of hard work in building up Taiyi Sect, witnessing it gradually rise, and now even the eldest disciple becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master, Taiyi Sect finally had capable successors, and Meng Zhang felt that he had not let down his master and senior brother's expectations.
With a heart full of joy, Meng Zhang's entire body and mind relaxed completely. Above his spiritual heart, it felt as if a layer of mist had been swept away, leaving it clear and pure. Unexpectedly, Niu Dawei's formation of the Gold Core had even contributed to Meng Zhang's own cultivation. Of course, this progress was not without reason; it was the result of his years of reciting scriptures and contemplating the Dao.
