Chapter 199


    Afterpleting the introductory manual, Meng Zhang did not leave the mountain gate but stayed to cultivate. In his spare time, he also guided Niu Dawei''s cultivation. Although Meng Zhang had not practiced "Wind and Thunder True Cultivation" himself, and no one else in the sect practiced this technique, as a Foundation Building cultivator, he had a keen insight and was able to apply his knowledge to help Niu Dawei progress quickly. Meng Zhang carefully studied the various intricacies of "Wind and Thunder True Cultivation" and with his excellent aptitude and guidance, Niu Dawei''s cultivation base improved rapidly.


    In addition, the treasure obtained from Twin Sess Valley''s Dan Yihu, which was half of the secret library, was already transported back to Taiyi Sect by Deep Earth God. Most of the cultivation resources and spirit stones were sent to the sect''s treasury. After Deep Earth Spirit General organized the books and jade slips, they were sent to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. The current Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Taiyi Sect had a considerable collection of books and was no longer a small study room but a three-story building with its own area and protection restrictions outside, guarded by disciples. Each room in the building had talismans inscribed to prevent fire and insect damage.


    The Hidden Scripture Pavilion was not just an empty shell, it contained arge number of books, including precious ssics. Apart from the first floor, which was open to the sect''s disciples for free, the books on the other two floors required the consumption of sect contribution points to borrow. In the past two years, Deep Earth Spirit General had also fulfilled his responsibilities as the Hall Master by regrly holding dharma meetings and providing guidance to disciples who sought his help.


    Twin Sess Valley was indeed a dominant force that had been passed down for hundreds of years and could dominate a region. The books brought back by Deep Earth Spirit General contained many valuable parts. After reading them, Meng Zhang gained a lot of knowledge, and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Taiyi Sect received a useful supplement. After staying in the sect for less than three months, Meng Zhang received an invitation from Qiaoshou Sect to attend their Foundation Building dharma meeting, which was to be held in the sect next month. The invitation was specially extended to cultivators who had a good rtionship with the sect.


    At the same time, Qiaoshou Sect sent someone to inform Meng Zhang that Sect Master Jin Qigu had other matters to discuss with him. Although the trade routes were cut off and various items were scarce, Meng Zhang still instructed his disciples to prepare a generous gift. As the time for the dharma meeting approached, Meng Zhang selected a few disciples and boarded a First Rank flying boat to head towards the direction of Qiaoshou Sect''s mountain gate.


    Qiaoshou Sect''s mountain gate was located about a thousand miles west of Taiyi Sect and was close to the edge of the Deadly Sea of Sand. The Endless Sea of Sand continued to the north, and beyond that was the legendary Deadly Sea of Sand. Although the Endless Sea of Sand was deste and remote and not suitable for human habitation, many people still lived there due to the numerous oases, especially in the area directly ruled by the Flying Swan Sect. However, the Deadly Sea of Sand to the north of the Endless Sea of Sand was a true forbidden zone for life. Not only was the living environment extremely harsh, but there were also many dangers that could threaten the lives of cultivators.Most Foundation Building cultivators dare not venture deep into the Deadly Sea of Sand and only approach its edges. There are many legends surrounding the Deadly Sea of Sand, including that it is the stronghold of demonic cultivators, the hiding ce of Ghost Path cultivators, or the birthce of sand monsters. However, none of these legends have been verified. Even the Flying Swan Sect, the dominant force in the Endless Sea of Sand, keeps its distance from the Deadly Sea of Sand and does not approach it easily.


    asionally, some bold cultivators enter the Deadly Sea of Sand to explore and seek opportunities, but most of them perish, and the few who survive cannot provide detailed information about the ce. As a result, fewer and fewer cultivators dare to venture into the Deadly Sea of Sand. Even if they have to, they only circle around its periphery and never enter its interior.


    Qiaoshou Sect''s mountain gate is not far from the edge of the Deadly Sea of Sand, and it has not experienced any unusual events for many years. Meng Zhang and hispanions boarded a First Rank flying boat and arrived safely at Qiaoshou Sect''s mountain gate. The mountain gate isposed of a continuous slope covered with densely nted spirit mulberry trees, which look lush and lovely. Outside the continuous slope arerge oases where mortals ruled by Qiaoshou Sect live.


    Qiaoshou Sect''s disciples are mainly women, but there are also many men. However, male disciples have lower status in the sect and limited prospects because Qiaoshou Sect''s most advanced inherited techniques can only be practiced by women. Men can only practice some low-end techniques. Qiaoshou Sect''s unique ability to raise spirit silkworms, extract silk, weave silk fabrics, and make magic robes is also entirely controlled by female cultivators.


    When Qiaoshou Sect saw the Taiyi Sect emblem on the flying boat, its protective formation automatically opened, revealing a portal. Shortly after the flying boat entered, a Qiaoshou Sect female disciple riding a crane guided the flying boat tond in a designated location. Soon after the flying boatnded, Qiaoshou Sect''s weing female disciples came to receive Meng Zhang and his disciples.


    Meng Zhang brought several disciples with him to Qiaoshou Sect, not to show off but to let them see the world and interact with outstanding disciples from other sects. The female disciple in charge of weing guests led the Taiyi Sect group to a courtyard, where other guests who came to observe the ceremony were also staying. In this area west of Singing Sand City, four sects and the Shi Family formed a small group. Due to the Flying Swan Sect''s blockade, they had no contact with the outside world. Even if they had some previous rtionships, they had beenpletely severed.


    Taiyi Sect arrived rtivelyte, and Ruan Dadao of the Golden de Sect and Gu Tanghai of the Shi Family had already arrived. Both received two Lesser Foundation Building Pills. Jin Qigu of Qiaoshou Sect seeded in Foundation Building, but Ruan Yuan of the Golden de Sect failed. Now, Ruan Dadao came to participate in Jin Qigu''s Foundation Building dharma meeting, and his mood must beplicated.
