The Taiyi Sect’s growing animal husbandry industry has brought great benefits to the sect.
Monsters are monsters after all. Even the lowest level of monsters, their flesh, flesh and fur have a certain value. Moreover, the monsters raised by Taiyi Sect are all carefully selected. They choose monsters that are easy to raise, have a wide range of uses, and are cost-effective.
This time Meng Zhang held a big banquet and hosted a large banquet for guests. Of course, it was not that there were too many spiritual stones and there was no place to burn them, but it was a decision made after careful consideration.
In the past, the Taiyi Sect acted in a low-key manner, and Meng Zhang was not that flamboyant.
When neither personal strength nor the overall strength of the sect is good enough, you can only stay tight-lipped and not be reckless.
But now, this style of conduct is no longer suitable for Taiyi Sect.
After several **** battles, Taiyi Sect established its reputation and achieved the status it has today. If you continue to be as low-key as before, you will only be looked down upon.
This time the black market sent people to kidnap An Xiaoran. Although a large part of it was Bai Ge’s personal reasons, Taiyi Sect’s lack of deterrence was also a big factor.
If it were a sect like Shuangfenggu in the past or Dihuo Sect now, the black market would probably have to think carefully before acting.
The Taiyi Sect has a far-reaching reputation, but its style of conduct is too reserved and low-key, a bit unworthy of such a prestigious reputation.
Of course, this is just Meng Zhang’s own idea. Whether this is the case is unknown.
Meng Zhang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of Hu Jing’s foundation-building ceremony to make a big show of his Taiyi Sect’s splendor and show off his muscles to the outside world.
Showing muscles is not just about showing Taiyi Sect’s combat effectiveness. Taiyi Sect’s business capabilities, financial resources and even interpersonal skills are all important aspects.
In fact, Meng Zhang’s approach this time had quick results.
Tuxingmen sent envoys to the door, which is a good example.
Tuxing Sect and Dihuo Sect have never dealt with each other. After the last dispute, the relationship between the two parties has become extremely tense, and the only option is to openly go to war.
The Tu Xing Sect is much weaker than the Earth Fire Sect. If they dare to confront the Earth Fire Sect, there must be Feihong Sect’s instruction behind it.
Of course, as the ruler of the Endless Sand Sea, the Feihong Sect will not openly intervene in such conflicts, so as not to damage its image of fairness and neutrality.
The relationship between Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect and Dihuo Sect is also not good. Last time when Lin Quanguan was destroyed, the two sides almost went to war.
This time Tu Xing Sect sent envoys to participate in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, just to take the opportunity to meet with the top leaders of Tai Yi Sect and Qiao Shou Sect. Even if they cannot form an alliance, everyone should have some ideas in dealing with the Earth Fire Sect. tacit agreement.
Both Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin met with the envoys sent by Tu Xing Sect, and everyone reached agreement on many things. Meng Zhang even made it clear that if the Dihuo Sect and Tu Xing Sect went to war, Taiyi Sect would never sit idly by and watch.
Aunt Jin expressed the same intention as Meng Zhang, and even encouraged the Tu Xing Sect. When facing the Earth Fire Sect, she must not shrink back.
Although it is just some worthless verbal promises, it is already very good to have such a result after the first contact. The envoy of Tu Xingmen was very satisfied with this.
The invisible encirclement of Tuxing Sect, Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect against Dihuo Sect was slowly formed.
Meng Zhang was originally worried that after the rise of Taiyi Sect, he would be scrupulous or even suppressed by Feihong Sect.
But after a series of recent events, he has understood a lot of things.
At the beginning, Shuangfenggu was known as a discipline with ten foundations, and there were many monks in the late stage of foundation building.
The current Taiyi Sect has a territory larger than Shuangfeng Valley, but there are only six foundation-building monks. As for the Qi Refining Stage monks, the difference in numbers is even greater.
The current strength of Ether Yi Sect is far from enough to make Feihong Sect worry about it.
Moreover, Meng Zhang even vaguely noticed that Feihong Sect seemed to be planning something big. Taiyi Sect is still very valuable to Feihong Sect.
At least for now, the stronger the Taiyi Sect is, the more valuable it is to the Feihong Sect. Anyway, no matter how powerful the Taiyi Sect is, as long as there is no real Jindan, it will not be able to get out of Feihong Sect’s hands.
At Hu Jing’s foundation-building ceremony, Meng Zhang also announced something. Three more small families would join Taiyi Sect’s subordinates and become vassal families of Taiyi Sect.
There are many spiritual veins in the Taiyimen territory, but the territory is too large and the manpower is really limited. Some places are too remote and cannot be taken into consideration.
Especially some spiritual veins that are too barren and have no production are too useless for the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang selected three spiritual veins this time to settle the vassal families.
Some of these three small families are families who have moved from other places, and some are families recently established by casual cultivators…
These three small families are small in number and have average strength. They are very satisfied with having a first-level spiritual vein as the foundation of their family.
Meng Zhang also formulated laws for these vassal families to restrain them.
The relationship between Taiyi Sect and these small families is similar to the relationship between Feihong Sect and its vassal families.
These vassal families run the territory and pay certain tributes to Taiyi Gate regularly. At the same time, they also accepted the protection of Taiyi Sect.
These vassal families can generally only recruit monks with the same surname, and cannot recruit monks with other surnames at will. Of course, special circumstances such as marriage and marriage are not subject to this restriction.
When a disciple with excellent qualifications appears in the family, he will be given priority to join Taiyi Sect and become a disciple of Taiyi Sect.
After a brief but grand ceremony in front of many guests, the three small families officially became vassals of Taiyi Sect.
Including the original vassal family Shi Family, Taiyi Sect now has four vassal families.
It is powerful in itself, with allies outside the Qiaoshou Sect, and four vassal families within, the Taiyi Sect finally looks like it has a regional hegemon.
As long as Taiyi Sect continues to develop like this, it will not be difficult to become another sect like Shuangfenggu.
Of course, for Meng Zhang, becoming another Shuangfenggu is not his goal.
Hu Jing’s grand foundation-building ceremony ended amidst the bustle. The flowing feast in Mingshafang City also ended with many monks reluctant to leave.
The most uncomfortable thing for Taiyi Sect to show its strength this time is the neighboring Dihuo Sect.
The news that Tu Xing Sect envoys visited Tai Yi Sect is not a secret. Although I don’t know what agreement the Tu Xing Sect and Taiyi Sect have reached, but based on the relationship between these surrounding sects, this is definitely not a good thing for the Earth Fire Sect.
After Shangguan Long Yan was assassinated, a mid-stage foundation-building monk named Liang Feng took over as head of the Earth Fire Sect.
Speaking of which, Liang Feng is Shangguan Longyan’s senior brother. In terms of personal strength and prestige within the sect, he is actually stronger than Shangguan Longyan.
Back then, Shangguan Longyan had the strong support of Grand Elder Lieyan, so he surpassed Liang Feng and became the head of the Earth Fire Sect.
