At first glance, ng Zhang was indeed drawn by Fei Hongzi's words, shifting his attention to the Fire Cloud Sect and the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch. However, deep inside, ng Zhang was extrely curious about the secret Fei Hongzi deliberately concealed. He struggled to suppress his curiosity and refrained from using Mind Reading to read Fei Hongzi's thoughts. What could this secret be, and why hasn't any information about it leaked?
Among the most well-inford powers that ng Zhang had encountered was the black market. However, it seed that they were either unaware of this secret as well, intentionally keeping it concealed, or ng Zhang lacked the necessary clearance. Regardless, none of the intelligence he obtained from the black market had any relevant information about this matter. For now, ng Zhang could only take note of this and figure out a way to inquire about it later.
Fei Hongzi sighed, "Many people criticize our sect for acting tyrannically and being unfavorable. But they have no idea how much our sect has sacrificed for the Endless Sea of Sand Cultivation World."
"As the Daoist Master of our sect, Fei Shi, with a mid-stage Gold Core cultivation base, stands peerless among his peers. Yet, in order to protect the humans of the Endless Sea of Sand, he has to remain stationed in the Demon Wind Gobi for an extended period, preventing hordes of demonic beasts from wreaking havoc on the world."
ng Zhang heard the title "Fei Shi Daoist Master" for the first ti and guessed that it must be one of the hidden Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect. Among the known three Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect and the two from the Northern Desert Qi Family, all of them only had early-stage Gold Core cultivation bases. If Fei Shi Daoist Master truly possessed a mid-stage Gold Core cultivation base, he would be more than capable of dealing with the Northern Desert Qi Family.
According to Fei Hongzi, Fei Shi Daoist Master had to remain in the Demon Wind Gobi and couldn't spare any efforts elsewhere. Fei Hongzi shouldn't be lying about this matter. It seed that the Flying Swan Sect indeed had so powerful cards hidden up their sleeves, enough to completely turn the tide of the situation.
ng Zhang couldn't help but develop so respect for the Flying Swan Sect. No wonder the demonic beasts in the Demon Wind Gobi behaved so obediently and didn't dare to run rampant, not even the Third Rank ones. It turned out to be thanks to Fei Shi Daoist Master's efforts.
However, despite the respect, ng Zhang wouldn't blindly pledge allegiance to the Flying Swan Sect just because they had done sothing beneficial for the people.
"If our sect really ignored everything else and brought out Fei Shi Daoist Master, those opposing forces would have been eradicated long ago, and we wouldn't have so many future troubles."
"But our sect must consider the overall situation and protect all of the Endless Sea of Sand's Human Clan from the cruelty of the demonic beasts, even if it ans letting a bunch of clowns run amok for a while."
Fei Hongzi said with a pained expression.
"Of course, those clowns won't be running amok for much longer. Once our sect is free to act, we will naturally deal with them."
As he spoke, a proud and disdainful look appeared on Fei Hongzi's face.
"Indeed, the Flying Swan Sect deserves to be the leader of our righteous path. With profound heritage and formidable strength, yet willing to endure humiliation and carry heavy burdens for the sake of the Human Clan. It is truly respectable and admirable," praised ng Zhang loudly.
ng Zhang knew well how to play along with such a situation; he didn't need anyone to teach him that.
"Taiyi Sect is also a mber of our righteous sects. I wonder if Sect Master ng is willing to do sothing significant for the Human Clan of the Endless Sea of Sand?" Fei Hongzi asked solemnly.
ng Zhang couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "The at for acting is here." He said with fervor, "No need to say more, the Flying Swan Sect is the leader of the righteous path in the Endless Sea of Sand. My Taiyi Sect is willing to align itself with them and contribute to their grand cause." ng Zhang spoke with a touch of magnanimity.
Fei Hongzi didn't nitpick ng Zhang's words but changed the subject to another matter. "I heard from Lao Jian that Sect Master ng wants to request Foundation Building Pills?"
"That's right. The number of disciples at the Refining Qilate stage in Taiyi Sect is increasing, and as a Sect Master, I have to plan ahead for their future. For the sake of their cultivation path, I had to summon up the courage to co and ask for them," ng Zhang replied, leaning toward the Flying Swan Sect. Besides the fact that the Flying Swan Sect was a long-standing dominant force with formidable strength, he genuinely sought to obtain Foundation Building Pills.
"Do you know, Sect Master ng, how many Refining Qicompletion cultivators there are in the Endless Sea of Sand who, due to the lack of Foundation Building Pills, either risk their lives to break through to the Foundation Building stage and fall into demonic cultivation, or give up on their cultivation altogether and make no progress?" Fei Hongzi sighed, "Not to ntion others, just within my Flying Swan Sect, there have been countless Refining Qicompletion cultivators waiting in line for 10 to 20 years without fulfilling their wishes. It's not that the sect is stingy, but the number of Foundation Building Pills produced each ti is limited and not enough for distribution. We must balance the relationships within the sect and consider the legacies of various vassal families. Even I, as the Sect Master, find it extrely difficult to request a single Foundation Building Pill."
ng Zhang's enthusiasm dampened as he heard this, but Fei Hongzi continued, "However, since Sect Master ng has made the request, I won't let you leave empty-handed. Our sect's Gold Core Daoist Master has also issued an order to gift a furnace of Foundation Building Pills to Sect Master ng."
ng Zhang's eyes lit up, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
"Unfortunately, due to the recent chaos caused by the sand monsters, all the stock of Foundation Building Pills was used up in rewarding rits after the battle. Now, there isn't a single Foundation Building Pill left within the sect. The materials for producing Foundation Building Pills are mostly obtained from the Mirage Secret Realm, but it will be a long ti before the realm opens again. We have dispatched people to the Jiuqu League realm to purchase various spirit dicines for refining Foundation Building Pills. Rest assured, Sect Master ng, once the materials are gathered, our alchemists will imdiately start refining. By then, we will prioritize fulfilling Sect Master ng's request," Fei Hongzi promised earnestly.
Despite the promising words, ng Zhang couldn't help but curse inwardly. Fei Hongzi's words had left him uncertain and uneasy. It seed like he was being strung along, with no Foundation Building Pill actually offered.
Fei Hongzi may not have the ability to read minds, but his vast experience in handling affairs allowed him to sense ng Zhang's discontent to so extent.
"While we may not have Foundation Building Pills to offer you temporarily, our sincerity is still ample," Fei Hongzi continued, pulling out a list and handing it to ng Zhang.
As ng Zhang glanced at the list nonchalantly, his gaze soon beca fixated. The list contained the nas of nurous heavenly materials, and many rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects were also listed. There were also Second Rank magic tools, pills, and talismans of various kinds, enough to dazzle ng Zhang's eyes.
Fei Hongzi noticed ng Zhang's expression and said with a hint of pride, "Everything listed here cos from our sect's vast treasury. It's accumulated over hundreds of years, and I'm sure it won't disappoint Sect Master ng. If there's anything you like, don't hesitate to speak up. I dare not promise too much, but with my status, I can certainly arrange to gift 1 or 2 items as a token of welco to Sect Master ng."
ng Zhang reluctantly tore his greedy gaze away from the list but still hesitated to speak.
