Chapter 621: Going through a strategic pass

Luo Ye Daoist Master handed the Soul Bead to Meng Zhang and told him that he could now go find Daoist Master Black Fox to report the mission.

When they were in the treasure repository earlier, the Soul Bead was taken directly by Luo Ye Daoist Master, and Meng Zhang only glanced at it briefly without examining it closely. Now, he held the Soul Bead in his hand, carefully observing it, but still couldn't see any changes.

Seeing this, Luo Ye Daoist Master thought Meng Zhang was a little worried and explained to him carefully. She had invited a senior expert this time, who made a small modification to the Soul Bead without causing any harm. With Daoist Master Black Fox's insight, it would be impossible for him to detect any issues. The hidden danger within the Soul Bead would only erupt at least several decades or even centuries later.

With Luo Ye Daoist Master's explanation, Meng Zhang was completely at ease. They had already delayed for so long, and it was not appropriate to continue postponing.

After bidding farewell to Luo Ye Daoist Master, Meng Zhang, along with the Extreme Sword Spirit General, flew directly towards Dongyuan City. Upon entering Dongyuan City and arriving at the entrance to the black market, Daoist Master Black Fox's subordinates, who were arranged there, immediately came forward and took them directly to meet Daoist Master Black Fox.

Apparently, Daoist Master Black Fox was truly anxious. He didn't even bother with pleasantries and immediately got to the point, asking about the success of their mission.

When Meng Zhang took out the Soul Bead, Daoist Master Black Fox couldn't even care about basic courtesy and snatched the Soul Bead from Meng Zhang's hand, staring at it intently. Meng Zhang didn't mind and let Daoist Master Black Fox inspect it carefully.

After a long while, Daoist Master Black Fox finally recovered. With the Soul Bead in his hand and his objective achieved, he realized he had been a little rude and awkwardly smiled, explaining to Meng Zhang that it was due to the excitement of finally obtaining the treasure that he had momentarily lost his composure. He apologized and asked for Meng Zhang's understanding.

Both the master and disciple needed to express their gratitude to Meng Zhang. They would never forget Meng Zhang's great kindness and generosity.

Daoist Master Black Fox continued to praise Meng Zhang with endless flattering words, but Meng Zhang was starting to feel a bit fed up with it. Daoist Master Black Fox was experienced and tactful in dealing with people. He had just lost his composure upon seeing the Soul Bead, but now that he had calmed down, he quickly resumed his cunning demeanor.

He informed Meng Zhang that the Void Nether Stone needed by the Taiyi Sect was being transported from the south and would take some time to arrive. He requested Meng Zhang to be patient and wait for it.

Meng Zhang had just obtained a batch of high-quality Void Nether Stones from the treasure repository, so he wasn't as eager for the ones Daoist Master Black Fox had promised. However, Void Nether Stones were valuable and hard to come by in the Jiuqu League, so it would still be a good thing to acquire more of them.

The most important task within the sect, repairing the Mother-Child Transmission Disc, was being carried out under the command of Deep EarthSpirit General in an orderly manner.

Meng Zhang's most concerned senior disciple, Niu Dawei, hadn't come out of seclusion yet and was still cultivating in isolation.

Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General took out all the gains from this trip.

After a modest exchange of words, they divided all the spoils. At the insistence of Extreme Sword Spirit General, Meng Zhang took the lion's share.

They each kept the items they needed, and the remaining abundant resources were exchanged within the sect at extremely low prices, enriching the sect's treasury significantly.

The twelve golden nuts were left untouched as Meng Zhang couldn't trust any Third Rank Alchemist. Instead, he kept them to be consumed directly.

As for the large Sun Gold Crystal, Meng Zhang handed it to Shocking ThunderSpirit General, asking him to use it to refine a magic tool when he had spare time.

Shocking ThunderSpirit General, who was currently busy repairing the Mother-Child Transmission Disc, took some time out to carefully examine the Sun Gold Crystal. As a professional tool refiner, his discerning eye surpassed Meng Zhang's.

He informed Meng Zhang that the outer part of the Sun Gold Crystal was Third Rank spiritual material, while the core was Fourth Rank spiritual material. Such materials were challenging to handle.

However, with such high-grade spiritual materials, careful research might enable Meng Zhang to refine an exceptional magic tool.
