Chapter 221: Spirit Liquor


    Walking along the streets of Firewell Market, Meng Zhang observed the bustling scene, well aware that this unusual prosperity was a result of the ongoing war between the Flying Swan Sect and the sand monsters. As a crucial supplier of war materials, this ce had be the most prosperous area in the entire Endless Sea of Sand, second only to the main city of Flying Swan Sect, Flying Swan City.


    Over a year ago, Zhao Jiudou summoned cultivators from various subordinate sects of the Forest Spring Watch to annihte thest refuge of the Twin Sess Valley. Then, about three months ago, the Forest Spring Watch''s sole Gold Core Daoist Master, Guang ZhiDaoist Master, joined the ranks of the Flying Swan Sect''s camp, thanks to the endorsement of the Fei TianDaoist Master, as they engaged in the war against the sand monsters.


    This sand monster turmoil truly gave the Flying Swan Sect a headache, especially with the Third Rank sand monsters, which possessedbat power no weaker than a Gold Core Daoist Master and disyed high intelligence. The First Rank and Second Rank sand monsters were stubborn war tools that only knew how to fight to the death. However, the Third Rank sand monsters knew how to strategize, engaging in guerri warfare against human cultivators.


    Moreover, with the Third Rank sand monsters as their leaders, the First and Second Rank sand monsters became even more formidable opponents. Their armies ravaged the territory of the Flying Swan Sect, inflicting massive losses.


    Although Guang ZhiDaoist Master had joined the war, there were no immediate results to show. Forest Spring Watch, however, finally felt secure since they didn''t have to worry about the sudden invasion of Flying Swan Sect.


    Within the dominion of the Forest Spring Watch, including nearby sects like Taiyi Sect, everything had be peaceful and calm, allowing everyone to focus their energy on managing their sects. Especially during the fierce battles between Flying Swan Sect and the sand monsters, they could profit significantly by supplying war materials.


    Meng Zhang''s visit to Firewell Market this time had two purposes. Firstly, over a year ago, during the pursuit of Twin Sess Valley remnants, his frequently used flying sword, the Red me Sword, suffered damage. Despite the capabilities of Taiyi Sect''s workshop, they were unable to repair the Second Rank magic tool, so he had to send it to Earthfire Sect and entrust their tool refiner with the repair.


    The second purpose was to promote spirit liquor.


    After returning from Great Wind City, not long after, Yang Xueyi found two recipes for brewing spirit liquor in Taiyi Sect''s Hidden Scripture Pavilion.


    Every year, Taiyi Sect produces spirit grains, which yield a surplus of spirit rice in addition to meeting the dietary needs of its disciples. Yang Xueyi studied the recipes and used a considerable amount of spirit rice and other materials to brew a type of spirit liquor.


    Upon trying it, the disciples in the sect praised it loudly. This spirit liquor not only replenished true qi but also nourished their qi and blood.


    Using another recipe, Yang Xueyi utilized spirit fruits as the main ingredient and added various spirit medicines to brew another type of spirit liquor. This one also replenished true qi and had the added benefit of strengthening muscles and bones.


    Both types of highly acimed spirit liquors were quickly sold out in Singing Sand City, where the main traders were Refining Qi stage cultivators, and they primarily dealt with First Rank items.


    Meng Zhang usually bought Second Rank magic tools and talismans from Firewell Market since Singing Sand City, despite its appearance of being bustling, had limited spending power, and there weren''t many spirit stones in cirction there.


    Thanks to the sess of the two types of spirit liquor, Yang Xueyi was encouraged and spent a lot of time brewing arge quantity of spirit liquor, gradually increasing its production.


    In fact, Forest Spring Watch had long had a tradition of brewing and selling spirit liquor, and their high-quality spirit liquor was famous and highly popr. However, the spirit liquor Yang Xueyi produced was of lower grade, aimed at high volume to maintain sufficient profits.


    Meng Zhang was proactive, concerned that Singing Sand City''s market might saturate sooner orter. Hence, he came to Firewell Market to seek new buyers.


    Having visited Firewell Market multiple times before, Meng Zhang quickly got in touch with the familiar Shang Family. Currently, the Flying Swan Sect was engaged in a brutal war with the sand monsters, and various cultivators on the bloody frontlines suffering from the torment of war had a strong demand for spirit liquor.


    With Taiyi Sect producing arge quantity of spirit liquor at just the right time, it was a perfect opportunity.


    After finalizing the arrangements for selling the spirit liquor, Meng Zhang went to meet his acquaintance from Earthfire Sect, Shangguan Wen, who was in charge of external affairs and had interacted with Meng Zhang many times before.


    Taiyi Sect had be a long-term supplier of minerals for Earthfire Sect, which led to more interactions with them. As a result, Meng Zhang and Shangguan Wen developed a decent rtionship.


    Currently, the demand for various magic tools on the frontlines was at its peak, and Earthfire Sect had not only depleted all of its stock but also kept their tool refiners working day and night to barely meet the demand.


    If it weren''t for his rapport with Shangguan Wen and Taiyi Sect''s loyalty as a longstanding customer, the repair of the Red me Sword might have been dyed indefinitely.


    When Meng Zhang received the repaired Red me Sword from Shangguan Wen, he didn''t look very satisfied. Although Earthfire Sect''s tool refiner had warned beforehand that the sword, damaged by celestial thunder''s aura, would inevitably have reduced quality even after repairs, Meng Zhang couldn''t find joy in seeing the oue after waiting for a year.


    The Red me Sword was originally a Second Rank lower-grade flying sword, and now with its quality further decreased, it was barely maintaining its Second Rank status.


    Observing Meng Zhang''s unconcealed expression, Shangguan Wen said, "It seems that Sect Master Meng is not very satisfied with this flying sword. But there''s nothing more we could do; our tool refiner has done their best."


    "I don''t me the tool refiner, I know he did his best. But most of my abilities rely on my flying sword. With the Red me Sword in this state, I''m indeedcking a handy flying sword," Meng Zhang half-seriously remarked.


    After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Wen said, "How about this? A senior of our sect obtained aplete Second Rank beast''s corpse several years ago by chance. He extracted the spine of the beast''s corpse to craft a Second Rank flying sword. After years of hard work, the flying sword will be ready in about two months."


    "Originally, this flying sword was intended for the year-end auction. But since Sect Master Meng urgently needs a flying sword, I''ll take the liberty to arrange a private transaction and offer you this flying sword."


    "This flying sword is made from exceptional materials, and the senior who crafted it exerted their full effort. Its quality is extraordinary, so in terms of price..."


    "You needn''t worry, my friend. As long as the item is good, the price is not an issue," Meng Zhang confidently said.


    Taiyi Sect had managed its affairs well in the past two years and had the good fortune of prosperous times, resulting in a decent annual ie. As the Sect Master, Meng Zhang not only had a handsome sry and share of the profits but also enjoyed substantial external ie.


    So, a mere Second Rank flying sword was something Meng Zhang could certainly afford.
