Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Although Meng Zhang is extremely eager to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage as soon as possible, he knows that cultivation cannot be rushed; it must proceed step by step. At many times, besides his own efforts, he also needs opportunities.

After a long period of seclusion, Meng Zhang finally left the closed-door secret room and resumed his responsibilities as the Taiyi Sect Master. When he calmed down and began to settle himself, the four Guardian Spirit Generals also brought him a great surprise.

The storeroom in the Void Cauldron's independent space has been almost fully checked. Useful resources have been taken out and transported back to the Taiyi Sect's main gate and stored in the treasury. The inheritance books and the like have been basically copied and sent back to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Taiyi Sect's main gate.

The four Guardian Spirit Generals did not completely empty the space in the Void Cauldron because it is the most reliable secret storage place, capable of storing many important items. Even if the situation in Jiuqu League deteriorates or Taiyi Sect encounters unexpected events, with the treasures in the independent space of the Void Cauldron, Taiyi Sect still has a chance to rise again.

Besides, Maple Leaf Mountain City was originally prepared by Meng Zhang as a retreat for the Taiyi Sect. When Jiuqu League called for Taiyi Sect cultivators to participate in the war at Yuantu Great Prairie, the four Guardian Spirit Generals, being the most powerful force in the sect, naturally had to go.

Many treasures in the storeroom were not marked with their origins, and unless a cultivator had keen eyesight, they wouldn't be able to recognize their true value. It was only when the four Guardian Spirit Generals took turns to return to the main gate for rest that they could be transported to Maple Leaf Mountain City and slowly sort out the items.

In this way, it took several times longer than the originally planned time to finish counting these items. Not to mention the most precious inheritance books, just the various resources inside surpassed the accumulations of many long-established Gold Core sects over the years.

With this harvest, the entire Taiyi Sect was overjoyed. The risks that Meng Zhang took before were completely worth it. All the efforts were not in vain.

Among these items, Meng Zhang also found a treasure that is crucially important to him. It is a gourd exuding abundant spiritual energy, possessing extraordinary divine abilities. In the Cultivation World, there are many kinds of spiritual gourds. However, this particular gourd has exceptional materials and inherently contains the essence of Yin and Yang. In terms of rank, it is a Fourth Rank spiritual item.

Ordinary cultivators can attempt to refine a natal magic tool after reaching the Foundation Building stage. As the cultivator's cultivation base steadily improves, the natal magic tool can also be upgraded accordingly. However, it is pitiful that Meng Zhang has already cultivated to the Gold Core completion stage, just one step away from achieving the Primordial Spirit stage, but he has not yet refined a natal magic tool.

Although there are many factors contributing to this situation, Meng Zhang's case is far from being treated as a protagonist. Not to mention the natal magic tool, even his magic tools are not that remarkable. His most powerful spiritual weapon, the Spiritsnake Spear, is a damaged item handed down from Taiyi Sect's ancestors. It has experienced many setbacks and was only reluctantly repaired.

As for other magic tools like the Shadow Killing Sword and Fierce Yang Sword, they are not even worth mentioning.

Many cultivators require suitable magic tools to unleash their strongest combat power, and Meng Zhang is no exception. His current magic tools are only slightly better than basic equipment. If he were to be equipped with top-tier gear, his combat prowess could increase significantly. Now that he has obtained this spiritual gourd, it gives him an opportunity to compensate for his equipment shortcomings.

This spiritual gourd possesses qualities in material, attributes, and future development prospects that make it perfect to be refined into Meng Zhang's natal magic tool. After discussing with Shocking Thunder Spirit General, who is a masterful tool refiner, they formulated the final refinement plan. A truly exceptional tool refiner doesn't merely copy the blueprints of predecessors' magic tools but can innovate and create.

For the sake of refining this magic tool, Shocking Thunder Spirit General spent several years researching and gathering numerous materials. When everything was ready, Meng Zhang used his authority as the Sect Master to recall Shocking Thunder Spirit General back to the sect, allowing someone else to take his place in the war.

After much preparation, Shocking Thunder Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General joined forces and took turns using water refinement and fire refinement techniques to begin the refinement process. As copious auxiliary materials were poured into it, the spiritual gourd started to undergo various transformations. The Yin and Yang essence within the gourd was awakened, and its original green body turned into a mix of black and white.

Water and fire can also be seen as representations of Yin and Yang, and by employing both water refinement and fire refinement techniques, the gourd's Yin-Yang attributes were fully stimulated. Day and night, Shocking Thunder Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General tirelessly refined the gourd, and it took a full nine years to produce a preliminary item.

Next, it was up to Meng Zhang to contribute. He used his True Essence to refine the item and then incorporated it into his dantian for nurturing. In the Cultivation World, most Fourth Rank magic tools evolved from Third Rank magic tools. Although this item was only Third Rank, it had the potential to advance to Fourth Rank. ɽäŊǒ𐌱ЁŞ

To nurture and strengthen this item, Meng Zhang spared no effort, even expending blood essence and depleting his Soul. After six more years, the item began to take shape and grew into a complete magic tool. He named this natal magic tool "Yin Yang Gourd," which had a black and white appearance.

The Yin Yang Gourd could release Yin and Yang Qi. The Yin Qi contained boundless deathly intent, capable of depriving others of their vitality. The Yang Qi, on the other hand, could dispel evil and demons while carrying life-giving properties, offering miraculous healing abilities.

Of course, the so-called "miraculous healing" did not mean it could genuinely revive the dead. It was just a powerful healing technique. When Yin and Yang Qi were combined, they could erode all things. Most things in the world were formed by the combination of Yin and Yang Qi, and if the quality of the spiritual gourd was high enough, it could indeed assimilate all things.

The Yin and Yang Qi in the gourd possessed strong sentience and could transform into special Dao soldiers, obedient to Meng Zhang's commands. With the Yin Yang Gourd, he could also enhance all Yin and Yang-based Divine Abilities. For instance, a Divine Ability called Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword, which he cultivated in his early years, was refined using Yin and Yang Fiend Qi. With the strengthening from the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, the power of this Divine Ability could be significantly boosted.
