Chapter 341


    In Meng Zhang''s heart, he quietly absorbed the lesson from this experience. Although the Grand Evolving Fortune could calcte the desired oue and bring opportunities, it also carried significant risks. There is nothing in the world that only goes in one direction; to gain certain opportunities, one must bear equal risks. When enjoying good times, one should be prepared for adversity, as it may be followed by blessings.


    After several attempts, Meng Zhang gained a deeper understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the Grand Evolving Fortune. He felt that Great Wind City was not a ce to stay for long and it would be best to leave as soon as possible. However, just as the day was breaking, a cultivator from the Gu Yue Family arrived at the warehouse, disrupting Meng Zhang''s ns.


    This cultivator was sent by Gu Yue Yon, bearing a message that her aunt, the renowned Gold Core Daoist Master, Gu Yue Huaidie Daoist Master, wanted to meet Meng Zhang. Her summons left no room for Meng Zhang to refuse. He had to leave everything behind, giving a few instructions to his disciples, and followed the Gu Yue Family cultivator, departing from the warehouse.


    The two of them boarded a First Rank flying vessel and headed straight to the southern part of the city. After flying a considerable distance, the vessel finally stopped at the entrance of a secluded small courtyard. Gu Yue Yon had been waiting there and rushed to greet Meng Zhang.


    "Sect Master Meng, I apologize for disturbing you so early," she said.


    "Sect Master Meng, I returned home yesterday and coincidentally, my aunt came out of seclusion. I told her about you and the story of Taiyi Sect, and she was very interested. She specifically instructed me to bring you here so she could meet you," Gu Yue Yon exined.


    "Being summoned by Heart Butterfly Daoist Master is an honor for me. There''s no such thing as disturbing," Meng Zhang replied politely.


    Gu Yue Yon didn''t continue to be overly polite and led Meng Zhang into the courtyard, near a small pond where a woman with a veil covering her face, tall and graceful, had been waiting.


    "Sect Master Meng, this is my aunt, Heart Butterfly Daoist Master," Gu Yue Yon introduced.


    "Youngster Meng Zhang, greetings to Heart Butterfly Daoist Master," Meng Zhang respectfully bowed.


    "No need for so much formality, Meng Zhang. The seniors from Taiyi Sect once gave guidance to this Daoist Master, so in a way, you are not a stranger. It''s not impolite for this Daoist Master to call you ''youngster,''" Gu Yue Huaidie said, showing a friendly and approachable demeanor, contrary to what Meng Zhang had imagined.


    Her attitude was very kind, without any airs of a Gold Core Daoist Master, instead, she resembled an elder in the family. Gu Yue Huaidie and Meng Zhang exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly engaged in casual conversation. Gu Yue Yon, who was standing nearby, clearly enjoyed the affection and attention from Gu Yue Huaidie and joined in the conversation as well.


    At Gu Yue Huaidie''s suggestion, Meng Zhang and Gu Yue Yon quickly became as close as siblings. Gu Yue Huaidie expressed her fondness for the seniors of Taiyi Sect and reminisced about some past events.


    After the destruction of the renowned cultivation sect, Taiyi Sect, on the Middle-Earth Continent, the surviving members relocated the sect to the outskirts of the Grand Crossing Mountain Range. About three hundred years ago, shortly after reaching the Foundation Building stage, Gu Yue Huaidie went on a journey and arrived near the Grand Crossing Mountain Range. There, she befriended Taiyi Sect cultivators and received their assistance. Gu Yue Huaidie''s tone conveyed her yearning and admiration for Taiyi Sect at that time, even though it had already declined and be a Gold Core sect established by survivors. In her eyes, it was still immensely prestigious and powerful.


    During her stay in the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, Gu Yue Huaidie developed profound friendships with some Taiyi Sect cultivators and received guidance from Taiyi Sect seniors. However, after leaving the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, she never had the opportunity to return, and it was onlyter that she received news of Taiyi Sect''s annihtion during the cmity.


    After the cmity, the Grand Crossing Mountain Range became infested with monsters, making it too dangerous for even Gold Core Daoist Masters to enter easily. Eventually, several major cultivation sects joined forces to quell the disaster and designated the Grand Crossing Mountain Range as a forbidden zone.


    The survivors of Taiyi Sect fled northward and settled in the Endless Sea of Sand. If it hadn''t been for Gu Yue Yon''s encounter with Meng Zhang, Gu Yue Huaidie wouldn''t have known about the many hardships Taiyi Sect had endured over the years.


    Gu Yue Huaidie felt regretful that after Taiyi Sect moved to the Endless Sea of Sand, they had never contacted her. If they had, based on their past rtionship, she would have done everything in her power to help Taiyi Sect.


    Meng Zhang appreciated Gu Yue Huaidie''s kindness, even though Taiyi Sect had fallen and its cultivators were somewhat proud, having once been a mighty sect. Former friends were now Gold Core Daoist Masters, while he himself had be a dependent of the Flying Swan Sect. Meng Zhang spected that even if those Taiyi Sect cultivators heard about Gu Yue Huaidie''s situation, they might find it difficult to visit her.


    Of course, it was just Meng Zhang''s guess, and he couldn''t be certain of the truth. Meeting this junior, Gu Yue Huaidie was delighted and asked, "Nephew, I heard that you''ve been searching for Foundation Building Pills and their ingredients. How is it going?"


    Meng Zhang couldn''t reveal that he had obtained the Foundation Building Pills from Ye Feifan, so he could only smile and shake his head. Gu Yue Huaidie paused for a moment and continued, "The spiritual herbs cultivated in our family''s medicinal garden are prioritized for our family''s alchemists, so it''s not easy to supply them to you. The distribution of Foundation Building Pills in the family also follows certain rules, and I can''t go against them."


    However, she didn''t want him to leave empty-handed after this rare encounter with an old friend''s descendant. Gu Yue Huaidie generously said, "Nevertheless, I won''t let you leave with nothing. From my share of the Foundation Building Pills, I''ll set one aside for you. You can have it for 20,000 low-grade spirit stones."


    Meng Zhang was extremely grateful and showed his appreciation to Gu Yue Huaidie. Though 20,000 low-grade spirit stones seemed like a lot, it far exceeded the basic price for a Foundation Building Pill. However, since Foundation Building Pills were not easily obtainable, being able to purchase one with spirit stones was an incredible opportunity.


    In a good mood today, Gu Yue Huaidie decided to be even more generous and asked if there was anything else Meng Zhang needed in Great Wind City. He didn''t hesitate and mentioned two difficult things he required. First, he sought suitable water-system spiritual items to nourish the spiritual shells in the sect. The second was the purchase of some spiritual herbs, without revealing his intention to refine Lesser Foundation Building Pills.


    Gu Yue Huaidie called for a family steward, and with little effort, she fulfilled Meng Zhang''s requests.
