The Way of the Immortal Master

A miser with deep pockets isn't scary, but knowing how to turn your pocketbook into combat power is kind of interesting.

When they arrived at the foot of Linshan Mountain, there were disciples specially welcoming guests, who stepped forward to warmly receive Meng Zhang and the other two.

He was led to climb all the way, passed the majestic mountain gate of the Linshan School, and reached the halfway up the mountain. Xu Chengxian, the head of the Linshan School, had already been waiting there.

"Sect Leader Meng, welcome, welcome. You can come to Linshan, our sect is really flourishing."

"Master Xu is very polite. Since the last farewell, Mr. Xu's demeanor has been unforgettable. See you today. Mr. Xu is even better than before."

Compared with the rich and powerful Linshan faction, Taiyimen is just a small bean. Xu Chengxian's cultivation base and seniority are even higher than Meng Zhang's.

Xu Chengxian was able to let go of his dignity and personally receive the head of a small faction like Meng Zhang. This person is still very unique in his conduct.

The two of them only exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Chengxian could make Meng Zhang and Meng Zhang feel like they were at home.

After a while, Xu Chengxian reluctantly ended his conversation with Meng Zhang, called a trusted disciple, and led them to settle down in the elegant house where they received guests.

The Linshan school is rich and powerful, and the school covers a large area. It is a refined and elegant building complex that is specially used for hospitality.

The two men, Meng and Zhang, were settled in an independent small courtyard.

Small courtyards are separated by groves, creeks, and small bridges.

Resting in the courtyard for a while, Li Xuan took Meng Zhang out of the courtyard.

This time, the Foundation Establishment Ceremony held by the Linshan faction invited almost all the cultivation forces around, and most of the leaders of the major forces were present.

This is a rare opportunity to communicate, and you can take the opportunity to get acquainted with people from all walks of life and make friends with other forces.

For this kind of social activities, Meng Zhang is very repulsive. He is not the kind of ascetic monk who only knows how to practice hard behind closed doors, but he is not the kind of person who likes to be lively and social.

Li Xuan tried his best to persuade Meng Zhang that as the head of the Taiyi Sect, dealing with people is unavoidable. Not to mention how to be good at dancing with long sleeves, at least you can't make enemies for nothing.

People who are too arrogant are easy to be isolated by others, and people who are too out of gregarious are easy to be rejected by others.

As the head of a faction, you need to broaden your social circle, and it is easy to travel if you have more friends. Even if you don't have allies, you should make more friends and strive for a more relaxed external environment for Taiyi Gate.

Meng Zhang knows what it means to be involuntary in the arena. Now that he has become the head of the Taiyi Sect, he will be forced to do many things that he doesn't like to do.

Li Xuan, the military adviser, made sense, and Meng Zhang humbly obeyed.

The two left the small courtyard, and there was a big garden outside.

There are towers, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

Many of the stone platforms in the garden are already full of guests.

The leaders of the major cultivation forces who came to participate in this Foundation Establishment Ceremony, as Li Xuan persuaded Meng Zhang, seized this rare opportunity for everyone to gather together and were socializing.

Li Xuan was a member of the Li family and the shopkeeper in Mingshafang City back then. He had a lot of friends and acquaintances.

Now that he has changed to a new owner, Li Xuan has given full play to his advantages.

"Brother Ruan, long time no see. This is Meng Zhangmeng, head of the Taiyi Sect. He is my younger brother's new boss."

"Master, this Brother Ruan is a hero of the Golden Knife Sect."

...

"Sect Leader, this is Big Brother Chen, the elder of Feiying Sect Foreign Affairs, let me introduce you two."

...

"Master, this ancient brother may be considered a casual cultivator, but many family cultivators are far inferior to him."

...

Li Xuan led Meng Zhang around the garden, talked with all the monks who could speak, and introduced them to Meng Zhang.

After walking around for so long, Meng Zhang felt that the smile on his face was going numb.

He is not physically tired, but he feels mentally tired, and he has a vague sense of irritability.

Among the vassal forces of Shuangfeng Valley, like the Linshan faction and the exterminated Li family, there have always been monks in the foundation building period, and there are many monks in the refining period.

This can be regarded as the first tier of power, not weak, very powerful, even if it is Shuangfenggu, it will often give them a little face, and will not treat them as subordinates.

The second tier is the Zhao family, the old enemy of Taiyimen.

This level of power has many monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and when they are lucky, they can also cultivate a monk in the foundation stage.

When the monks in the foundation building period were around, they could even challenge the first-tier forces. If the monks in the foundation building period are gone, the power of the family will decline sharply, and even face various crises.

The third tier is that there have never been monks in the foundation building stage, and it all depends on the monks in the late stage of Qi refining to support the scene.

In the Taiyi Sect more than ten years ago, it was even this kind of force. However, after the sand monster rebellion more than ten years ago, the Taiyi Sect lost all the elders in the late stage of Qi Refining, and its strength was not even as good as this level, and it was directly reduced to the bottom of all the vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley.

Now that Meng Zhang's cultivation has entered the late stage of Qi refining, the Taiyi Sect has begun to recover its vitality, and the Taiyi Sect can barely be counted as a third-tier force.

Even so, among the many forces in the garden, the Taiyi Gate is still very weak.

When you meet those powerful people, if you have a good personality, they will talk to you politely, and if you have a bad personality, you will simply ignore them.

Li Xuan took Meng Zhang everywhere to accompany him with smiling faces, but he didn't make any friendship.

Walking into an unoccupied corner of the garden, Meng Zhang had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Master, those people's eyes are higher than the top, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as them."

Li Xuan carefully looked at Meng Zhang's face, and comforted him in a low voice.

Meng Zhang's mentality is not as fragile as Li Xuan imagined. He has a mature enough mentality in his two lives. He had seen many times in his previous life such a scene of highs and lows, red tops and white ones.

In the final analysis, Taiyi Sect is too weak, so people look down on them and ignore them.

At this time, another group of people walked into the garden and came nearby.

"I don't need your introduction to this group of people. I know everyone." Meng Zhang said to Li Xuan with a smile.

Meng Zhang not only knew this group of people, but was also very familiar with them.

This group of people are all descendants of the Zhao family, and the middle-aged man at the head is Zhao Dong who fought against Meng Zhang.

When Meng Zhang saw Zhao Dong, he also found Meng Zhang.

When he brought Fang Meng to the Tianshui Oasis to make trouble, Zhao Dong had only reached the sixth level of qi refining. I haven't seen him in just a few years, and he has already entered the late stage of Qi refining, and has reached the seventh level of Qi refining.

Zhao Dong, who was somewhat arrogant, gave Meng Zhang a provocative look.

When Meng Zhang's cultivation level was not as good as Zhao Dong's, he was able to suppress Zhao Dong by virtue of his blood refinement sacrifice technique. Now everyone has the same level of cultivation, and Meng Zhang will not take him seriously.
