Wen Qiansun had a lively mind. Seeing the changing expressions of ng Zhang and Tian Zhen, he thought that he might have done sothing wrong, and he looked over with so concern.
Among the disciples of the sect, ng Zhang would not easily use his Divine Ability, Mind Reading. As long as they didn't violate the rules, ng Zhang, as the Sect Master, would treat them with enough respect and care, just like a patriarch.
Without using Mind Reading, ng Zhang could still guess Wen Qiansun's thoughts.
"You don't have to worry. Elder Tian and I just feel regretful for you and have no other thoughts."
After comforting Wen Qiansun, ng Zhang instructed Tian Zhen to accept Wen Qiansun into the sect as usual. As for other thoughts, they would set them aside for now.
Tian Zhen almost always followed ng Zhang's instructions and imdiately arranged for Wen Qiansun accordingly.
After handling the matter of accepting Wen Qiansun into the sect, ng Zhang returned to his quiet room and continued to comprehend the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra." It took him more than ten days to fully comprehend it.
Superior cultivation techniques demanded high requirents from cultivators' talents and comprehension.
That night, while ng Zhang was ditating, he suddenly felt a slight vibration from underground, as if there was so movent in the basent.
The basent was the most critical place in Taiyi Sect. It housed not only the spirit veins' spiritual eyes but also several precious treasures nourished there.
ng Zhang couldn't afford to be careless, so he quickly opened the entrance and went into the basent.
Inside, the spiritual energy was turbulent, as if a spiritual storm had just occurred.
The basent was originally the place with the densest spiritual energy in Taiyi Sect. If it didn't absorb a significant portion of the spirit veins' spiritual energy, Taiyi Sect could have reclaid several acres of spirit fields.
But now, the originally rich spiritual energy in the basent had beco extrely thin.
A tall figure stood in the center of the basent, quietly looking at sothing, deep in thought.
There was suddenly an unfamiliar person in the basent, and ng Zhang should have been cautious. However, he inexplicably felt no hostility toward this stranger.
"Are you the current Sect Master of Taiyi Sect?"
The man had a strong, towering physique with bulging muscles all over. He had big ears and thick eyebrows, giving people a reliable and stable feeling.
ng Zhang nodded instinctively. "I am indeed the current Sect Master of Taiyi Sect."
"I am Deep Earth. I have seen the Sect Master." The man nad Deep Earth respectfully saluted ng Zhang.
"You are...?"
"Yes, I am the Guardian Spirit General of Taiyi Sect. I just woke up from a long slumber."
"After so many years, unexpectedly, the once mighty Taiyi Sect has fallen to its current state."
Deep Earth sighed with emotion.
It turned out that he was the Guardian Spirit General who had been sleeping in the treasure bead. It seed that using the Jade Soul Fluid and taking such risks was not in vain.
According to the records in the Sect Master's chronicle, the Guardian Spirit General, forged when Taiyi Sect was at its peak, was the most loyal guardian of the sect.
Since the person before him was not an outsider, ng Zhang relaxed and began to talk with Deep Earth.
"Sensing the aura of the Jade Soul Fluid, we were still discussing who should absorb those few drops of Jade Soul Fluid. Unexpectedly, the Sect Master brought Fifth Earth Essence as well. Although it's a bit less, it's enough for to rebuild my physical body. So, I will be the first one to absorb the Jade Soul Fluid, and they will continue to sleep."
It was only then that ng Zhang noticed the missing Fifth Earth Essence that had been stored in the basent.
ng Zhang felt no regret; a temporarily unused heavenly material was worth exchanging for a powerful Guardian Spirit General. As he conversed further with Deep Earth, he started to feel a bit disappointed.
In its heyday, the Deep Earth Spirit General indeed had the combat power of the Gold Core stage. But during the ancient war, his divine body was destroyed, his soul was heavily damaged, and he had to enter a long slumber.
Taiyi Sect had been trying to awaken these Guardian Spirit Generals again. Although they had never succeeded, they had helped repair their souls to so extent.
After Taiyi Sect fell and migrated to this place, the remaining souls of these Guardian Spirit Generals were nurtured within the treasure bead through the spiritual eyes, gradually gaining so consciousness.
When ng Zhang dripped the Jade Soul Fluid into the bead, the Guardian Spirit Generals temporarily regained a simple consciousness.
Later, when he placed the Fifth Earth Essence in the basent, Deep Earth Spirit General woke up.
But now, the awakened Deep Earth Spirit General's strength had greatly declined, barely possessing the combat power of the Refining Qi completion stage.
If they had a Guardian Spirit General at the Gold Core stage, Taiyi Sect could dominate the surrounding area, and at the very least, they wouldn't have to be a vassal of Twin Success Valley. Even the regional hegemon, Flying Swan Sect, would have to show enough respect to Taiyi Sect.
However, with only a Deep Earth Spirit General at the Refining Qi completion stage, Taiyi Sect would still quietly develop and behave modestly. After all, ng Zhang himself, with the highest cultivation base in the sect, was only at the Refining Qi 6th layer, still so distance away from reaching the Refining Qi late stage. Having an additional Refining Qi completion stage Deep Earth Spirit General would undoubtedly significantly increase Taiyi Sect's strength and provide them with a powerful ace.
ng Zhang had always been curious about Taiyi Sect's situation in the past, especially the reasons for its calamity. He thought that Deep Earth Spirit General might satisfy his curiosity since he had personally experienced the ancient war.
Unfortunately, Deep Earth Spirit General's answer disappointed ng Zhang greatly. His Soul was still far from fully recovering, so he couldn't rember everything from the past. He had no recollection of what had happened during those tis.
If ng Zhang wanted Deep Earth Spirit General to recover his strength and mory quickly, he needed to provide more treasures like Jade Soul Fluid and Fifth Earth Essence.
This request put ng Zhang in a difficult position. Those treasures had co to him through fortuitous circumstances, and acquiring more of them would not be easy.
Fortunately, Deep Earth Spirit General didn't require special offerings on ordinary days. He could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like an ordinary cultivator.
Moreover, Deep Earth Spirit General sensed the weak magnetic force hidden in the spirit vein and hoped to absorb it himself.
Other than being stored in the Sect Protecting Formation, the Yellow Sand Hidden Trace Formation, this weak magnetic force had no other use on ordinary days.
Compared to the Sect Protecting Formation, Deep Earth Spirit General was undoubtedly more important. Without hesitation, ng Zhang agreed to his request.
