Meng Zhang may not even think that the Taiyi Sect is now considered a very powerful and prestigious sect among the local forces in Jiuqu Province.
The Taiyi Sect has taken the initiative to retreat and will not conflict with the powerful foreign dragons, so not many cultivation forces dare to come forward to resist.
In fact, these fierce dragons from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty have profound backgrounds and unfathomable strength.
They have always been brave and diligent in their behavior, and are accustomed to pursuing victory. They will never give in, let alone show mercy.
Meng Zhang soon received news that these external forces were preparing to reestablish the Alchemist Guild and re-regulate the pill market in Jiuqu Province.
According to the practice in the world of cultivation, there are alchemist guilds almost everywhere.
The original intention of establishing the Alchemist Guild was to prevent tampered pills from flowing into cultivators and causing large-scale disasters.
However, as it later developed, the Alchemist Guild completely deteriorated and became a means for cultivation overlords from various places to monopolize the local market for elixirs.
Feihong Sect, the original overlord of the Endless Sand Sea, established the Alchemist Guild.
Only cultivation forces approved by Feihong Sect are eligible to join.
Only elixirs approved by the Alchemist Guild can be officially circulated on the market.
All privately made elixirs that have not been approved by the Alchemist Guild will be confiscated immediately once seized, and the relevant personnel will be severely punished.
After Taiyi Sect became the overlord of the Endless Sand Sea, it also retained this organization, but the leader was replaced by Taiyi Sect itself.
This not only helps Taiyi Sect’s rule, but also helps Taiyi Sect control the elixir market.
After Taiyi Sect joined the Jiuqu League, it went through a lot of twists and turns and paid a lot of money before it joined the Alchemist Guild of the Jiuqu League and had the power to sell elixirs to external parties.
According to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, Taiyi Sect must pay a sum of spiritual stones to the Alchemist Guild every time it sells a batch of pills in Jiuqu League.
Afterwards, the Jiuqu Alliance went through a series of changes, and the Alchemist Guild existed in name only, and no cultivation force would pay heed to these regulations.
If these external forces from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty achieve their own goals and rebuild the Alchemist Guild, they will definitely gradually control the pill market of the Jiuqu League.
The elixirs produced by sects such as Taiyi Sect may not be circulated openly on the market.
Although Meng Zhang was dissatisfied with this, he could barely tolerate it.
What he is really worried about is that these external forces are taking advantage of it, controlling the circulation of elixirs, and then controlling talismans and magic weapons…
In the end, he even controlled the circulation of all elixirs, spiritual materials, etc.
In the world of cultivation, almost every sect may have had such a dream.
On the territory of our sect, we can produce all needed elixirs and spiritual materials…
All needed elixirs and talismans can be refined within the sect…
In this way, even if the entire sect is completely closed and has no contact with the outside world, it can be self-sufficient and not rely on outsiders.
Meng Zhang has also had such a fantasy, and he also knows that it can only be a fantasy.
There are countless elixirs, spiritual materials, etc. in the world of cultivation.
These things are produced in different environments and are distributed all over the world. No matter which sect they belong to, they cannot completely control them.
Not to mention the sects of the Taiyi Sect, even the Qingyuan Sect and the Jade Sword Sect in their heyday cannot build an independent kingdom behind closed doors and must search for various supplies from outside.
In terms of elixirs alone, the territory of Taiyi Sect is so vast. There is also a space magic weapon Baicao Pavilion in the mountain gate, which is specially used to cultivate various elixirs. However, sects still have to purchase elixirs in large quantities from outside in order to meet the needs of the Alchemy Hall.
This is because many elixirs are not produced by Taiyi Sect itself and cannot control the place of production.
Although Meng Zhang was worried, he could not rashly fight against the fierce dragons crossing the river just because of this worry.
He still knows how much he has in his family.
Although the Dali Dynasty was generally peaceful and the major cultivation forces were united on the surface, various overt and covert struggles almost never stopped.
As long as they don’t send out an army of monks to start a large-scale war, the officials of the Dali Dynasty can’t control much.
Since these dragons across the river dare to expand so wildly, they must have their own confidence.
As long as Meng Zhang guarded his one-third of an acre of land and did not go out to cause trouble, they would not take the initiative to cause trouble, let alone knock on the door in a brazen manner.
But if Meng Zhang took the initiative to fight with them, they would have plenty of means to make Taiyi Sect miserable.
Meng Zhang could bear it, but some people could no longer sit still.
As the largest local commercial bank, Sihai Commercial Bank was the most severely squeezed by external forces and suffered the most losses.
Our peers are enemy countries. Regardless of whether Sihai Commercial Bank is willing or not, active or passive, they are all facing off against these external forces.
Sihai Commercial Bank has almost no advantage against these external forces.
After a lot of trouble, Sihai Trading Company was almost defeated and suffered heavy losses.
A powerful trading house that once controlled most of the Jiuqu League’s trade has now lost almost all its markets, and even a small business of buying low and selling high can no longer continue.
As far as Meng Zhang knows, Zhenjun You Hongzhi, who is looking for Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com Sihai Trading Company, has been walking around among the local forces during this period, as if he is trying to establish some kind of connection.
Zhenjun You Hongzhi also tried to contact Meng Zhang and wanted to get Meng Zhang on board.
Meng Zhang was originally very wary of Sihai Trading Company, who would get involved with them.
Zhenjun You Hongzhi came to visit several times, but Meng Zhang avoided him in the name of seclusion, leaving Niu Dawei to deal with him.
Of course, Meng Zhang did not get involved in this matter, nor did he mean that he was not concerned.
He wanted to see what result the local snakes like Zhenjun You Hongzhi could achieve in a fight with the fierce dragon crossing the river.
Although he is not optimistic about the former at all, he still wants to see if there is any advantage in the middle.
Meng Zhang has not always been so leisurely.
He himself has a lot of troubles.
The Red Pig True Lord and the Jade Rabbit True Lord of the Dark Alliance branch of the Jiuqu League led their men to withdraw early and flew away, far away from the Jiuqu League.
With the support of the Dali Dynasty, True Lord Dong Qiang and True Lord White Crow returned home in fine clothes and completely took control of the Dark Alliance branch.
After taking control of the Dark Alliance branch, they naturally have to clean up the Dark Alliance branch’s industry.
Unfortunately, True Lord Chizhu, who had been well prepared, had entrusted many valuable properties to the name of Taiyi Sect.
Of course, the actual owner of these properties is the Dark Alliance branch rebuilt by Shushan Zhenjun on the territory of Taiyi Sect.
Of course it was impossible for Zhenjun Dong Qiang and the others to accept this situation. They watched helplessly as many valuable properties were inexplicably owned by the Taiyi Sect.
A mere Taiyi Sect has not yet been taken seriously by them.
Only the Dark Alliance has always taken advantage of others. Now that the Taiyi Sect has taken advantage of the Dark Alliance, how can they tolerate it?
