Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 184

As Zhang Yingying signed her name on the soul register in front of Meng Zhang, he smiled with satisfaction. The biggest unstable factor in Taiyi Sect had been consumed in the recent war. Upon returning to Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang began to clean up the internal affairs of the sect. The Taiyi Sect's direct lineages were naturally loyal, and the newly joined members quickly became obedient in the face of Meng Zhang's overwhelming power.

The Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain were cultivation forces on the same level as the former Twin Success Valley. Originally, the four major sects were just vassals of the Twin Success Valley, but in this war, they won a complete victory and almost wiped out their opponents. The prestige of the four major sects was greatly enhanced, and their reputation spread far and wide. The new members who had just joined Taiyi Sect were at least outwardly loyal and willing to work hard for the sect. They also had a certain degree of fear towards Meng Zhang, the Sect Master.

Meng Zhang increasingly felt that Mind Reading, this Divine Ability, was a powerful tool for discerning people's thoughts. With the help of Mind Reading, Meng Zhang had figured out everyone's thoughts. All the new members, at least outwardly, pledged their allegiance to Taiyi Sect and were willing to share the joys and sorrows with the sect. They considered themselves members of Taiyi Sect and worked hard for it.

To be on the safe side, Meng Zhang used all his efforts to make several key figures willingly sign their names on the soul register. Zhang Yingying was a woman in her thirties with a somewhat beautiful appearance. She usually looked honest and straightforward, but sometimes had her own ideas. She was a very savvy woman who absolutely did not dare to defy the strong. She had some feelings for the Zhang family, but she couldn't be said to be very loyal to Zhang Hantao, the head of the family. After the Twin Success Valley was destroyed, she took the initiative to escape from the remaining cultivators of the Twin Success Valley and did not hang herself on a tree. This showed a little bit of her intelligence.

Meng Zhang brought back the news of Zhang Hantao's death and only said a few words to her. She immediately accepted her fate and signed her name on the soul register. As a First Rank Alchemist, Zhang Yingying could only refine pills for Refining Qi period cultivators to take. But for Taiyi Sect now, this was already very rare.

After solving the loyalty issue of the disciples in the sect, Meng Zhang carried out a sweeping integration of the internal affairs of the sect. With the expansion of Taiyi Sect's territory and the increase in its members, the sect needed to take the right path and could no longer be run like a ragtag group. Several halls were established within Taiyi Sect, and some disciples were promoted. First, the General Affairs Hall was established, responsible for handling all kinds of internal affairs of the sect, with Hall Master Tian Zhen serving as the General Affairs Elder. Then the Spirit Plant Hall was established, responsible for managing all the spirit fields within the sect, with Spirit Plant Elder Daoist Clear Spirit serving as the Hall Master. The Foreign Affairs Hall was also established, responsible for Taiyi Sect's external exchanges and handling external relations.

Over the years, Li Xuan had handled all the affairs of the white hidden earth mine in an orderly manner, saving Meng Zhang countless efforts. His actions also proved his loyalty to Taiyi Sect. Li Xuan was appointed as the Hall Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall. The position of Hall Master was higher than that of an Inner-Sect Disciple and was below that of an Elder.

The Refiner Hall was established, with Tian Li serving as the Hall Master, specializing in the affairs related to refining tools within the sect. The Alchemy Hall was established, with Zhang Yingying serving as the Hall Master, responsible for cultivating Alchemists and refining pills. The Talisman Creation Hall was established, with Yang Xueyi serving as the Hall Master, responsible for cultivating Talisman Masters and making various talismans.

Meng Zhang had once been interested in making talismans, but later found that his talent in this area was mediocre, so he gave up. As a Foundation Building period cultivator who was not a professional Talisman Master, if he made Second Rank talismans, not only was the success rate very low, but the power of the spells on the talismans was generally only one or two percent of what he could normally cast. Such talismans were basically useless for Foundation Building period cultivators in battle, but some Refining Qi period cultivators could use them as a last resort.

Meng Zhang also established a Dining Hall, responsible for making all kinds of spiritual food for the disciples in the sect to enjoy. For now, Yang Xueyi could only serve as the temporary Hall Master of the Dining Hall. The sect also established a Formations Hall, specializing in all matters related to formations within the sect, such as setting up formations and breaking enemy formations. Wen Qiansun, the only Formation Master in the sect, naturally became the Hall Master of the Formations Hall.

The Beast Controlling Hall was led by Hu Jing and was responsible for breeding and taming various kinds of monsters. The War Hall was specifically for external battles, and Zheng Chao, a brave and skilled disciple, became the Hall Master of the War Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall was responsible for maintaining the sect's rules and enforcing the sect's internal law and order. Since there were no suitable candidates, Meng Zhang, the Sect Master, had to serve as the Hall Master. The Merit Hall managed the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, sorted out the sect's martial arts and scriptures, and taught various skills to the disciples. The Hall Master of the Merit Hall was also held by the Protector Deep Earth Spirit General.

After receiving the Fifth Earth Essence given by Meng Zhang, Deep Earth Spirit General spent most of his time in seclusion to refine it. Many of the Merit Hall's tasks had to be handled by Meng Zhang. After straightening out the internal organizational structure, Meng Zhang moved Taiyi Sect's mountain gate to Fuzhao Valley, the original mountain gate of the Zhao Family. This was the only Second Rank spirit vein currently controlled by Taiyi Sect and had many advantages over the sect's original mountain gate.

After the relocation of Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, there was a large-scale construction project within the sect. The most regrettable thing was that the Second Rank Formation of the Zhao Family was destroyed and had no repair value due to severe damage. It was completely dismantled by the Twin Success Valley cultivators. Firstly, it was not really needed, and secondly, the resources within the Twin Success Valley began to become scarce due to the cultivation of Gold Core cultivators. In some less critical areas, they had to save resources. Therefore, Twin Success Valley had never set up a Second Rank Formation here.

Currently, Taiyi Sect lacked finished products such as formations, talismans, and magic tools, despite having an abundance of spiritual stones and materials. Due to the Flying Swan Sect's blockade of the commercial routes, the Singing Sand City and the western region, including the Forest Spring Watch area to the north, had a very depressed economy. Materials could not be transported out, spiritual stones could not be spent, and various finished products could not be brought in. As time went by, Luo Ye's departure made the relationship between the black market and Meng Zhang less close than before.

Meng Zhang spent a certain amount of spiritual stones every month to obtain some intelligence from the black market. Other than that, the black market no longer provided any other help. The order to blockade the area where Taiyi Sect was located was issued by the Flying Swan Sect, and the black market could not disobey the Flying Swan Sect's orders just for the sake of a little relationship with Meng Zhang. Unless Meng Zhang could bring greater benefits. Helplessly, Meng Zhang could only dig out the potential within the sect and hope that the tool refiners, Talisman Masters, and others within Taiyi Sect could grow up quickly.
