Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

In addition to obtaining many Void Nether Stones on the shelves of the treasure trove, Meng Zhang also found three huge Void Nether Stones in the place where the Soul Beads are stored.

Inside the secret chamber where the Soul Beads are kept, apart from the Soul Beads themselves, there are six other boxes. One of these boxes contains these three Void Nether Stones. Each of these Void Nether Stones is about the size of a baby's head and of extremely high quality.

In the Jiuqu League, when refining storage bags and other storage magic tools, they often use only some leftover pieces of Void Nether Stones. Even the lowest-level storage bags in the Cultivation World only require the addition of some fragmented Void Nether Stones during their refinement.

If all these three Void Nether Stones are used to refine storage magic tools, the vastness of the storage space can be easily imagined. From now on, Meng Zhang will no longer worry about the lack of storage space on his person.

If he encounters a similar situation in the future, he might even be able to empty the entire treasure trove. Of course, if the treasure trove is completely emptied, the Barbarian King's restraint would be lifted, and whether they can safely escape would be another matter altogether.

The second box contains a large piece of Sun Gold Crystal, an excellent material used to refine fire attribute magic tools. Among Third Rank spiritual materials, Sun Gold Crystal is considered top-grade. Even when refining some Fourth Rank magic tools, it can be fully utilized as an important auxiliary material.

The third box holds twelve Gold Nuts. Thanks to a secret sealing technique, even after hundreds of years, the Gold Nuts still look as if they were just picked, with almost no loss of medicinal properties. Each Gold Nut is slightly larger than an adult's thumb, with a golden color throughout, as if it were made of pure gold.

The primary function of Gold Nuts is to strengthen the physical body of a Gold Core stage cultivator. If they can be refined into corresponding elixirs, their medicinal properties can be fully unleashed. Meng Zhang's cultivation technique also includes body refinement practices. By consuming these Gold Nuts, he can save a lot of cultivation time and achieve better results in body strengthening.

The fourth box contains a scroll. This scroll is called "Dark Thorn Secret Canon," a unique manual used by the Dark Alliance to train assassins and spies. It contains a wealth of information, including various secret techniques, specially crafted elixirs, and more.

Following the instructions in this secret canon would allow one to train powerful assassins and outstanding spies, just like the Dark Alliance does.

However, Meng Zhang finds this "Dark Thorn Secret Canon" a bit troublesome. Before forming his core, Jue Ying Daoist Master helped Taiyi Sect establish the Secret Hall to train assassins and spies. She dared not reveal the unique inheritance of the Dark Alliance and only passed on some generic knowledge.

Now that Meng Zhang possesses the exclusive secret canon of the Dark Alliance, if the information were to leak out, the Dark Alliance would undoubtedly not sit idly by. Daoist Master Black Fox probably knows about the existence of this secret canon. Nevertheless, he actively hired Meng Zhang to explore the treasure trove, and now that the secret canon has fallen into Meng Zhang's hands, he bears a great responsibility.

Considering the cunning nature of this old fox, he should not willingly invite trouble but rather pretend not to know about this matter. Now that the secret canon is in Meng Zhang's possession, he will not easily give it away.His idea was to return to the Taiyi Sect and, together with the higher-ups of the sect, carefully study the Secret Canon and absorb its essence. When using it within the Taiyi Sect, they would try to make some changes, so it wouldn't look exactly like the original version in the Dark Alliance.

As for cultivating assassins and spies, they had to proceed secretly and avoid any exposure. The fifth box contained a puppet doll. Initially, Meng Zhang didn't understand the purpose of this doll, but Extreme Sword Spirit General, with his rich experience, quickly recognized it as a Death-Substituting Dummy.

As the name suggests, the Death-Substituting Dummy was a special treasure that could help the owner take someone else's place in death. It was a life-saving gadget, so Meng Zhang carefully put it away.

After refining the Death-Substituting Dummy in the future, it could be used to take injuries on behalf of its owner, effectively granting them an extra life.

Inside the sixth box was a Fourth Rank Talisman, a talisman that only a Fourth Rank Talisman Master could refine. To become a Fourth Rank Talisman Master, one must have at least a Cultivation Base at the Primordial Spirit stage.

Even within the Taiyi Sect and the surrounding forces, there probably wouldn't be such a powerful talisman. Seeing this Fourth Rank Talisman, Meng Zhang felt puzzled. He wondered why Daoist Master Black Fox's master didn't take it with him. Even if he couldn't fully unleash its power, it could still greatly enhance his combat strength.

However, Meng Zhang didn't know that all the items in that secret room, including the Soul Bead, were not personal belongings but treasures of the Dark Alliance organization. Daoist Master Black Fox's master was merely a custodian, and without orders from higher-ups, he didn't have the authority to use those items.

Organizations like the Dark Alliance had numerous rules and strict discipline. Even the high-ranking members wouldn't dare to easily violate the rules. Meng Zhang, as a leader of a powerful faction himself, couldn't comprehend the extent of the system's restrictions on an individual.

Daoist Master Black Fox and his master could bend the rules within limits and exploit loopholes, but they would never dare to openly violate the organization's rules. Especially Daoist Master Black Fox's master, who was always cautious and strictly followed the Dark Alliance rules without any deviations.

Even though Meng Zhang knew the value of the items in these six boxes and how they could help him break through, he decided to act as if these items didn't exist until he received clear orders.

Due to a twist of fate, these treasures fell into Meng Zhang's hands centuries later, seemingly by chance. Truly, fortune favors the prepared mind, and unexpected gains can lead to great wealth. Taiyi Sect had been operating for many years, and despite the hard work of countless individuals, it was likely challenging to collect such cultivation resources.

Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel a bit worried that such a massive gain might cloud his judgment. He feared that he might become fixated on shortcuts and stop managing the sect honestly.

Fortunately, Extreme Sword Spirit General was experienced and shrewd, with the ability to judge and identify treasures, surpassing Meng Zhang. With his guidance and Meng Zhang's own knowledge, even though they had limited time, they managed to take away the most valuable parts of the treasure trove.

As they were busy counting their gains, they didn't notice the passing time. It took more than ten days before Luo Ye Daoist Master returned alone to their location.
