The Way of the Immortal Master

The place where Meng Zhang killed the sandworm was not far from Taiyi Gate, more than fifty li at most.

Not long after sending out the message talisman, Tian Zhen and Daoist Xuanling each rode over on a chasing horse.

When he came to Meng Zhang, Tian Zhen couldn't wait to ask.

"Master, why is it so urgent that you want my uncle and I to drop everything and rush over here immediately?"

He glanced at Tian Zhen and Daoist Xuanling who put several storage bags beside each other, and even put a few storage bags on the saddle.

"You followed my instructions and brought all the usable storage bags in the door?" Meng Zhang asked without answering.

After receiving Tian Zhen's affirmative answer, Meng Zhang led them to the sandworm's corpse, pointed to the pile of fiery red objects, and slowly explained to them.

It turned out that the sandworm, a monster, besides hunting prey and devouring blood. Sometimes, it will also swallow a large amount of earth and rocks.

When swallowing earth and rocks, sandworms often inadvertently swallow some various ores.

The pile of fiery red items exposed in the sandworm's stomach is red copper ore.

Due to the corrosion of the gastric juice, most of the soil and rocks in these ores have been digested, exposing relatively pure red copper.

The knowledge Meng Zhang acquired in the trial ground is all-encompassing and covers an extremely wide range, including a lot of knowledge about ores.

According to Meng Zhang's judgment, these red copper ores should come from a red copper mine.

The sandworm, which often travels underground, somehow found the red copper ore, and its natural instinct allowed it to swallow a large amount of ore.

Fortunately, red copper is more difficult to digest, so it can survive in the stomach of the sandworm.

If the two sandworms met Meng Zhang some time in the evening, Meng Zhang would probably miss this discovery when the red copper ore was completely digested.

The range of activities of the sandworms is not very large, as long as you follow the trajectory of the activities of these two sandworms, you will definitely be able to find the red copper vein.

Red copper is a kind of metal spiritual material often used in refining equipment, and the price is not cheap.

In the endless sand sea where all kinds of materials are poor, even if this red copper vein is just a barren mine, its value is very high.

Moreover, Meng Zhang judged from the appearance of the red copper ore remaining in Sandworm's belly that the reserves of this red copper ore vein should not be low.

For the impoverished Taiyimen, if they can find and mine this red copper vein, it will be a fortune.

That's why Meng Zhang was delighted.

As the head of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang also has a lot of pressure on him. Especially Taiyimen's financial situation is really not good.

Taiyimen's main income comes from the nineteen acres of spiritual fields.

After a year of hard work, the income of spiritual grains, spiritual fruits, etc., converted into spiritual stones, does not exceed a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

With such a small income, three hundred low-grade spirit stones must be handed over to Shuangfenggu every year as a routine offering.

In the past, the Taiyi Sect provided the disciples in the sect to practice, and they were all stretched and nervous.

Some time ago, the Taiyi Sect experienced changes, although it lost many disciples. But to some extent, it also reduces the supply pressure of the sect.

However, it is impossible for Taiyi Sect to never develop, and the number of disciples will gradually increase in the future. At that time, supplying disciples for cultivation will still cause a lot of financial pressure.

The things that Meng Zhang counted in the Taiyimen's big treasury included less than a thousand low-grade spirit stones, but the accumulation of the Taiyimen over the past few decades was the result of the hard work of the successive heads of the Taiyimen. Living frugally and saving money is the last accumulation of the sect.

Meng Zhang would enter the trial ground almost every night.

Ten low-grade spirit stones are consumed each time, and the remaining materials are converted into about five low-grade spirit stones.

The consumption of fifteen low-grade spirit stones each time may not seem like much, but over time, it is also a large amount.

The materials in the big treasury belong to the entire Taiyi Sect and are not the private property of the head of the Taiyi Sect.

In the past, the successive heads of the Taiyi Sect all made this point very clear.

In Meng Zhang's generation, because there were only two or three big cats and kittens in the Taiyi Sect, Tian Zhen, who was in charge of general affairs, was also a staunch supporter of Meng Zhang, so he let Meng Zhang do whatever he wanted.

Meng Zhang also knew very well in his heart that he did not distinguish between public and private, and if things went on like this, it would definitely bring huge harm to the entire sect.

If it wasn't for killing the three brothers of the Zhang family and getting a supplement of almost four hundred low-grade spirit stones, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to consume such a large amount of spirit stones and supplies.

Now there is a red copper vein, which can be said to be a windfall, and it can solve the problems of Mengzhang and Taiyimen at once.

But Meng Zhang's thinking was still meticulous, and after he calmed down, he discovered the scourge in the middle.

Taiyi Gate is a vassal of Shuangfeng Valley, and at least half of the income from the mineral resources found around the territory must be handed over to Shuangfeng Valley.

Moreover, the current Taiyi Gate has neither manpower nor material resources to mine this red copper mine.

After the red copper ore is discovered, I am afraid that the benefits will basically fall into the hands of Shuangfenggu, and Taiyimen will drink a little leftover soup and water at most.

And that's not the worst.

After the news of the discovery of red copper ore spreads, it will definitely attract many casual cultivators like locusts.

Among the casual cultivators, there are many vicious people like the three brothers of the Zhang family.

If there were any casual cultivators who wanted to get rich, plundered wantonly around, or even directly attacked the Taiyi Sect's garrison, then the Taiyi Sect would be in big trouble. If you are careful, you will be in danger of extinction.

After thinking for a while, Meng Zhang decided to conceal the existence of the red copper veins.

Let's wait until the Taiyi Gate has the ability to protect itself and develop the ability in the future.

After Meng Zhang told Tian Zhen and Taoist Xuanling everything about what happened and his own decision, they all agreed with Meng Zhang's decision.

Especially Taoist Xuanling, he felt that Meng Zhang, the head of the sect, was so young, so thoughtful, and not impulsive at all, it was really a blessing of the Taiyi sect.

According to Meng Zhang's arrangement, the three of them began to perform the water-making technique, producing a large amount of clear water, which was used to simply clean the ore in the sandworm's stomach, and then put it into the storage bag.

The sandworm has a big belly, and there are a lot of red copper ore in it.

It took a lot of effort for the three of them to clean all the ore and release it into the storage bag.

As for the flesh and blood of the two sandworms, except for the large amount of blood collected by Meng Zhang, the rest are naturally cheaper than the three chasing horses.

It was the first time for the three chasing wind horses to eat so much since they were tamed by the Taiyi Sect. They ate a good meal to their heart's content.

After the three chasing horses were finished eating, there would be many nights and dreams, and he didn't care about wasting it. Meng Zhang directly cast a spell to burn the remaining flesh and blood of the two sandworms, and then cast the spell to open the ground first, and buried all the residue deep underground.

During the whole process, no outsiders passed by this desolate and remote place.

A book friend asked about the place of trial, which has been clearly stated in the previous article.

There are two conditions for entry: one is the cultivation base of the Qi refining period, and the other is the power of the mind and soul, and the ability to travel out of the body.

The Taiyi Sect, which has not fallen behind, no longer has such talents. Only the Taiyi Sect in its heyday had such Tianjiao disciples. Pig's foot is a time traveler, so the soul is stronger than others.

Finally, I would like to thank the book friends for the recommendation votes that have been cast, and thank you for the book that has started to be rewarded. So, add another chapter.
