The Way of the Immortal Master

Meng Zhang was about to walk into his shop when a greeting came from behind: "Sect Master Meng."

Meng Zhang turned his head and saw that Gu Tanghai was rushing over from behind.

"Sect Master Meng, can you take a step to speak, the old man has something important to discuss with you."

The Taiyi Gate and the Shi Family have had a good relationship over the years and have maintained a large number of transactions. Gu Tanghai has always been very friendly to Taiyi Sect, probably due to Gu Ji's falling leaves that appeared together with Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang nodded, and left here with Gu Tanghai.

Gu Tanghai led Meng Zhang for a long walk, and came to a small building in the center of Mingshafang.

This is the general affairs building of Mingshafang City. On weekdays, Gu Tanghai spends most of his time inside, dealing with various affairs inside and outside the city.

Gu Tanghai led Meng Zhang into a hall, asked Meng Zhang to sit down, and served tea and snacks. Knowing Meng Zhang's character, he didn't go around in circles, and got straight to the point.

"Please come over to Sect Master Meng, mainly because there are two important matters that need to be discussed with Sect Master Meng."

"The first big thing is that the blockade of Feihongzong has brought a lot of inconvenience to everyone, and the market is also in a state of depression, neglected and depressed."

"Thus, after discussing with several leaders many times, this old man decided to open up a new business route and look for new business opportunities."

Meng Zhang had heard many rumors about this matter, and some people, including Gu Tanghai, had mentioned it to him before.

For this matter, Meng Zhang certainly agrees 100%.

In these years, Meng Zhang has also felt more and more the disadvantages of the lack of business routes.

Taiyimen's spiritual grains are barely enough, and when the harvest is good, some of them can be sold to the outside world.

In terms of pills, they are more nervous. The Shi family provided most of them, and the alchemy hall of their own sect could only provide a small part of the pills.

Some disciples in the sect need to use certain spiritual materials to practice certain special exercises, and Meng Zhang needs to hide his identity and secretly go to Huojingfang City to buy a small amount, which is often not enough for use.

As for other instruments, talismans, etc., it is even more in short supply. Until now, even the large formation of guards in the mountain gate has not been found.

In peacetime, it can barely maintain it. Once a war breaks out, there will be a serious shortage of various materials.

Taiyi Gate now owns some mineral deposits. In addition to the original red copper ore and white zangtu mine, it also captured black iron ore and Qianchen sand mine later.

Firstly, there is a shortage of manpower, and secondly, there is no market for mining, so these veins have to be temporarily idled, or mined in small quantities.

Materials cannot be transported out, spirit stones cannot be earned, and all kinds of spiritual materials needed cannot be purchased.

This is not a healthy state, and it is not good for the development of the sect.

Of course, opening up business routes to the outside world is easy to say, but very difficult to do.

The area where several sects are now is covered by Feihongzong's sphere of influence to the east and south. Within Feihongzong's sphere of influence, it is absolutely impossible to have any chance.

To the north and west is the sea of ​​dead sand, a forbidden area for living beings. Through an uninhabited area in the northeast, it is possible to enter the ruling area of ​​the Qi family in Mobei.

However, the Mobei Qi family has always been conservative and very exclusive. Moreover, Mobei itself is also very barren, with little production.

The Qi family in Mobei was suppressed by Feihongzong in Mobei for many years, and there was no development. Even though the Qi family has two Jindan masters, they still lack cultivation resources.

To be honest, anyone who knows a little about the area in Mobei feels very strange. The Qi family in Mobei relied on such a remote area, and they had been fighting against Feihongzong for many years, but they were not completely expelled by Feihongzong.

In the southwest direction, there is a small area bordering on the Yaofeng Gobi. Through Yaofeng Gobi, you can directly enter the territory of Jiuqu League.

Jiuqu League is a cultivation alliance centered on Jiuqu River. Compared with the endless sand sea, it is countless times richer.

There are many sects, masters emerge in endlessly, the civilization of cultivation is developed, all arts of cultivation are prosperous, resources are abundant, and business is prosperous.

The strength of the Jiuqu League is countless times stronger than that of Feihongzong, and there is even a True Monarch of Yuanshen in the alliance.

Back then, the invasion of the Endless Sand Sea was just the private work of two small sects in the fringe areas, which made it very difficult for Feihongzong to deal with it.

If it weren't for the high-level officials in the Jiuqu League not looking down on the barren land of the Endless Sand Sea and focusing on the more fertile south, Feihongzong probably would have never had the opportunity to rule the Endless Sand Sea.

Taiyi Sect and other sects want to open up trade routes, and there are only two choices: Mobei Qi Family and Jiuqu League.

The first option is a little easier, but the Qi family itself is not rich, so even if a business route is opened, the gains will be limited.

The second option is to go through Yaofeng Gobi.

Yaofeng Gobi is the only place in the endless sand sea where monsters gather on a large scale.

There are many monsters and powerful beasts there, and even in the depths of the Yaofeng Gobi, there is still a golden core monster.

For many years, even Feihongzong, who ruled the endless sand sea, was unwilling to easily go deep into the Yaofeng Gobi.

Although going to the Jiuqu League only needs to pass through the periphery of the Yaofeng Gobi and does not need to go deep, but if you are unlucky and get entangled by a group of monsters, it will be very troublesome.

As for the golden core demon, he won't leave the depths of Yaofeng Gobi easily, so don't worry too much.

For the two different choices, the previous leaders had debated many times.

Meng Zhang himself was limited to issues of vision and knowledge, and he didn't know much about Jiuqu League and Qijia, so he didn't have any tendencies, and he didn't participate in the debate.

Now that Gu Tanghai mentioned the issue of opening up trade routes again, it should have achieved results.

Before Meng Zhang could open his mouth, Gu Tanghai continued talking on his own.

"After much discussion, we finally decided to go to the Jiuqu League together. Even if the road is a little more dangerous, the rewards will be greater."

"If the head of Meng is also interested, then you have to make preparations early."

"Of course, there is no need to be in a hurry. Even if everything goes well, we will not leave until a few years later."

The Taiyi Gate is also in great need of foreign trade.

Now that the discussion has yielded results, Meng Zhang will naturally join in.

Meng Zhang promised that he would set off with everyone in a few years.

In the past few years, Taiyimen will also do a lot of preparatory work, prepare various materials to be brought to the transaction, and organize the list of items that need to be purchased.

In a few words, the two sides settled the matter, and the two sides had no doubts.

Gu Tanghai picked up the teacup, took a sip, took a break, and then continued.

"The second thing is Elder Shan Hu of Shuangfeng Valley. Please be an intermediary for me to contact the heads and do a big thing together."

While talking, Gu Tanghai took out a lamp from the storage bag.

The lamp is simple in style and appears to be made of bronze. The exterior is rusty and full of copper rust.

"Golden Crow Lantern." Meng Zhang stared at the lantern for a long time before saying excitedly.
