The most intelligent general in the world

Not long after, Zhang Li led Zhang Liang to the towering sacred tree on the top of the mountain. Zhang Liang saw Bei Mingzi sitting under the tree, talking to the sad-looking little girl Xiao Meng, who nodded obediently from time to time, looking distressed.

"You go down first." Zhang Liang waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Li agreed and left.

Zhang Liang walked towards the two people under the tree with a smile on his face, bowed and asked, "Hello, senior. I wonder why you are here today?"

"Haha... If I didn't come and see it myself, how would I know that you discovered such a paradise here!" Bei Mingzi laughed loudly.

"It's not some blessed land at all. It just borrows the power of this sacred tree. It can't be compared with the authentic treasure land of Taoism with a long history." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

In fact, in just a few days, the changes on this mountain can be said to be earth-shaking. Although Zhang Liang has not had time to take a closer look, he can already see some fairyland-like atmosphere of the Taoist temple.

"Young man, you are too modest. In terms of vastness and spirituality, it is indeed not as good as our Taoism, but in terms of the abundance of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, your place is far beyond our ancestral land. In another hundred years, I am afraid it will surpass our ancestral land." Bei Mingzi praised.

"You're too kind, too kind!" Zhang Liang smiled and did not refute, but he was thinking in his heart, why should he wait for a hundred years, just give him ten years, if it is still not as good as the ancestral land of your Taoist sect, then he can be considered to have obtained this immortal cultivation inheritance in vain.

"The place you arranged is indeed clever and skillful. I have been observing nearby for three days and could only see some clues. The environment here should have been arranged using ancient formations, right?" Bei Mingzi asked directly.

"It's not really an ancient formation." Zhang Liang shook his head slightly, and continued, "Formation is something formed by borrowing the power of heaven and earth. In Taoism, there is the art of Feng Shui, which emphasizes the storage of wind and the gathering of energy, and is itself a type of formation."

The knowledge and skills handed down in this world are numerous and extensive, involving all kinds of sects and categories, including formations, alchemy, refining, mechanical puppets, spells, martial arts, body refining, etc., covering almost everything in the world of immortal cultivation. However, compared with the memory of Taixuan Immortal Venerable, many things in this world have been simplified, and the deep parts have been removed.

"Even so, it is still a remarkable achievement. I have observed it for three days and have only discovered that this formation has the function of condensing spiritual energy and confusing the mind. It also seems to have hidden means of attack, but this is just my guess." Bei Mingzi answered tentatively.

"Senior, you have a keen eye and indeed possess these three abilities." Zhang Liang did not hide it. Although he is still unable to compete with Bei Mingzi now, Bei Mingzi had no ill will towards him last time. Instead, he was close to him and tried to win him over. Zhang Liang was not worried that he would do something bad to him.

Overall, although the old Taoist priest Bei Mingzi was cunning and wise, he was also a highly respected figure in Taoism and had decent character. Besides, he had already figured out the secret on his own, and if he tried to hide it, it would only make it more obvious.

"You are a real talent!" Bei Mingzi sighed, looking at Zhang Liang with a complicated look.

Then, Bei Mingzi took out a small wooden box from his arms and threw it directly to Zhang Liang, saying: "This is all the seeds of the Gathering Spirit Grass in our Taoism, and I'm giving them to you!"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but open the box and take a look. He was overjoyed. There were a total of thirty-one seeds of the Gathering Spirit Grass in the box.

Soul-gathering grass is very common in the world of immortal cultivation and has a wide range of uses. Many elixirs require the addition of soul-gathering grass during their refining process. Soul-gathering grass can be said to be one of the easiest spiritual herbs to grow. As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy, it can survive and reproduce. The thicker the spiritual energy, the faster it grows. When fully mature, the soul-gathering grass will grow three seeds.

After the seeds fall, they can naturally take root and sprout and continue to reproduce. Therefore, once you find the spirit-gathering grass, you can often find a continuous grassland.

However, in this world, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is very thin, and it is not easy to find spirit gathering grass. If you want to find large tracts of spirit gathering grass, you may only be able to go to those dangerous places where few people go.

This spirit gathering grass is not only needed by humans, but some spirit beasts will also devour it instinctively. Even some wild beasts will swallow it after seeing the spirit gathering grass, thereby transforming into spirit beasts.

Therefore, the chance to find spirit gathering grass is only in dangerous places where few people go.

Taoism was able to produce thirty-one Spirit Gathering Grass seeds in one go. This shows that there must be a place inside their sect that is dedicated to growing Spirit Gathering Grass. This is undoubtedly one of Taoism’s most precious resources.

"Thank you, senior. With these Spirit Gathering Grass seeds, Xiao Meng will never have to worry about the elixirs she needs to advance to the Grandmaster level." Zhang Liang replied with a smile.

"It's enough if you understand it in your heart. I'll give these seeds to you. From now on, you will be responsible for making all the elixirs that Xiaomeng needs for her practice!" Bei Mingzi said with a smile.

Zhang Liang felt like he was being tricked when he heard this. Although these Soul Gathering Grass seeds were indeed precious, they were still far from the amount of elixirs Xiao Meng needed for her cultivation. Moreover, after he got the seeds, he would still need to spend energy to cultivate and reproduce them, and he would need countless other medicinal materials to make elixirs.

"Senior, I'm afraid this is not enough!" Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.

"Haha... don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. We in Taoism have a large collection of spiritual medicine seeds. Except for those unique and rare species, I can give you a share of the others. I believe that with your ability to cultivate spiritual medicine, after getting these seeds, you will never have to worry about the lack of spiritual medicine in the future!" Bei Mingzi laughed heartily.
