Chapter 397: Reunion


    ALL NOVELS'' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master''s Immortal Journey


    With the help of the senior steward, Meng Zhang spent arge sum of spirit stones to buy two fake Third Rank talismans refined by a Gold Core Daoist Master. While these talismans wouldn''t have a significant impact in Gold Core level battles, they could still be decisive in fights between cultivators at the Foundation Building stage.


    In addition to the talismans, Meng Zhang also purchased arge pile of misceneous items. He was carrying plenty of spirit stones with him this time, considering renting a Third Rank spirit vein. He packed all his belongings in high-capacity storage rings and bracelets, with a few storage bags as well.


    Fully loaded with his purchases, Meng Zhang returned to the inn where he was staying. Over the following days, he enjoyed exploring Great Wind City and even visited the Gu Yue Family, where he met Gu Yue Yon a few times. He participated in several dharma meetings held by Gu Yue Family''s Foundation Building cultivators, engaging in discussions on cultivation and Dao.


    Thanks to his rtionship with Gu Yue Huaidie, the cultivators from Gu Yue Family treated Meng Zhang fairly well and didn''t see him as an outsider. During their interactions, they willingly shared useful knowledge and experiences. Meng Zhang, as a cultivator who hadpleted the Foundation Building stage, had received some inheritances from Taiyi Sect''s prime era. Whenever he casually revealed something, it astonished the cultivators from Gu Yue Family, leaving them greatly enlightened.


    Of course, cultivators from Gold Core families like Gu Yue Family were not just renowned in name; they could also present many useful items. The exchanges during this period were mutually beneficial, and no one felt that their time had been wasted.


    Unbeknownst to them, half a month had passed.


    That evening, as Meng Zhang returned to his rented room, he saw Yue Jing, whom he hadn''t seen in a long time, waiting at his courtyard gate.


    Over the years, Yue Jing had be even more graceful and elegant. She covered her face with a thin veil, obscuring most of her stunning features. When they were in the Endless Sea of Sand, Meng Zhang had seen Yue Jing''s true appearance. Now, she exuded an extraordinary aura.


    During these years, Meng Zhang had be a Foundation Building cultivator, while Yue Jing had not been idle either. She had honed her skills in concealing her aura and hiding her strength to the point where even Meng Zhang''s Deception Breaking Eye couldn''t discern her true Cultivation Base. He could only roughly estimate that she was at least at the mid-stage of Foundation Building.


    Meeting after such a long time, both of them felt a bit excited. However, Meng Zhang had served as the Taiyi Sect Sect Master for many years and had be quiteposed, able to keep his emotions in check. On the other hand, Yue Jing was naturally cold and reserved, seldom revealing her emotions voluntarily. The fact that she could show some excitement was already a sign of her deep emotions.


    Meng Zhang led Yue Jing into his rented courtyard, and after they both settled down, they began sharing their experiences since their parting.


    After Luo Ye had her demonic energy expelled from her body and recovered her strength, she brought Yue Jing to the Jiuqu League. After some twists and turns, Luo Ye seeded in forming her Gold Core and became a Gold Core Daoist Master. During Luo Ye''s Gold Core breakthrough, Yue Jing also sessfullypleted her Foundation Building stage and became a Foundation Building cultivator.


    Since then, Luo Ye had been with Yue Jing in the Jiuqu League for many years.


    As Yue Jing narrated her experiences over the years to Meng Zhang, she was deliberately vague in many ces. She didn''t hide this fact and straightforwardly exined that some matters were rted to confidential information from the ck market, which couldn''t be disclosed to outsiders.


    From Yue Jing''s ount, Meng Zhang gained some understanding of the ck market. In many parts of the Cultivation World, there existed ck markets, and most of them were under the control of an organization called the Dark Alliance. Simr to the Jiuqu League, the Dark Alliance was an alliance formed by numerous cultivation forces. However, the overall strength of the Dark Alliance was much stronger, surpassing the Jiuqu League by countless times. Its internal affairs were even moreplex and baffling.


    Luo Ye and Yue Jing came from a sect within the Dark Alliance called the Hidden Shadow Sect. As for more information about the Dark Alliance and Hidden Shadow Sect, Yue Jing chose not to reveal anything.


    In recent years, Yue Jing had been serving the ck market of the Jiuqu League. Within the ck market, she had gained a certain status.


    Meng Zhang believed that the position Yue Jing mentioned was probably an understatement. She should have a rtively high standing within the ck market.


    Regarding Luo Ye, her master, well, she should address her as Luo Ye Daoist Master now. Many years ago, Luo Ye had left for the Middle-Earth Continent. Yue Jing didn''t know when she would return.


    As for Meng Zhang, he briefly shared some of his experiences over the years with Yue Jing. His cultivation had made great strides, and Taiyi Sect had thrived, bing a dominant force in the Endless Sea of Sand.


    Yue Jing praised Meng Zhang endlessly for his achievements. When she heard about the conflicts with the ck market, she first felt angry and then helpless. Luo Ye had been away from the Endless Sea of Sand for a long time, and her influence there had gradually waned. If others refused to give her face or recognize her status, there was little Yue Jing could do about it.


    Although the Endless Sea of Sand and the Jiuqu League were close neighbors, the ck markets on both sides were entirely separate systems within the Dark Alliance, and it was challenging for them to interfere with each other.


    Meng Zhang, however, paid no attention to it. He didn''t rely on the power of Yue Jing and her master to deal with the ck market of the Endless Sea of Sand.


    Taiyi Sect was not something that could be easily provoked by a mere ck market. If they wanted, they could gather their forces and easily wipe out that ce beneath Firewell Market.


    In fact, after Taiyi Sect took control of Firewell Market, the ck market side had frequently shown goodwill, hoping to mend their rtionship with Taiyi Sect. They were temporarily forced to bow down.


    Apart from the ck market in Flying Swan City, the ck market beneath Firewell Market was the most important base of the Dark Alliance in the Endless Sea of Sand. They couldn''t easily abandon it unless they had no other choice.


    For the ck market to continue to exist as it did, it needed Taiyi Sect''s tolerance and eptance.


    Meng Zhang, however, maintained an indifferent attitude and kept a sufficient distance from the ck market. He believed that in future negotiations with the ck market, maintaining this position would be advantageous.


    Before Meng Zhang left the Endless Sea of Sand for Great Wind City, he hadn''t had a chance to directly contact the ck market side.
