Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 215: Exposition

Even though Guang Hong Daoist knows he is being coy, he has no choice but to seek help from Zhao Jiudou.

"The junior is incapable, truly has no way, so I ask the senior to lend a hand and help the junior find the whereabouts of the Twin Success Valley remnants."

Seeing Zhao Jiudou taking such a humble stance, Guang Hong Daoist nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother Zhao, you and I are both Foundation Building stage cultivators and are of the same generation. There's no need to discuss senior and junior matters."

"Right, Brother Zhao, you're so anxious to pursue the remnants of Twin Success Valley; it's probably not just for seeking revenge, right?" Zhao Jiudou secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that he appeared too eager, and this old fellow saw through him.

At this point, Zhao Jiudou became somewhat confident.

"Yes, this time exterminating the remnants of Twin Success Valley is a task assigned to me by the sect."

Guang Hong Daoist didn't speak but looked at Xu Yishan.

Xu Yishan understood and said, "We are all old friends here, helping Brother Zhao complete the sect's task naturally doesn't require anything in return. However, we can't let everyone work in vain. So, this time's spoils of war, Brother Zhao..."

"This time's spoils of war, I won't take a single bit, let everyone distribute it as they wish."

"Furthermore, everyone has been a great help to me this time, and I will certainly remember this favor and repay it in the future," Zhao Jiudou added hastily.

Zhao Jiudou's statement brought smiles to the faces of those present. It's imaginable that the disciples of Twin Success Valley must have left behind many treasures.

If Zhao Jiudou participated in the division of spoils, as a disciple of Flying Swan Sect, he might get the lion's share. But now, by voluntarily giving up all spoils, everyone could benefit more.

With Zhao Jiudou's clear stand, Guang Hong Daoist no longer played coy.

He waved his hand, and a map appeared in the hall.

With a single stroke of his hand, a certain area on the map was circled.

"The hiding place of the remnants of Twin Success Valley is within this range," Guang Hong Daoist stated the answer directly without explaining where he obtained the information from.

The people carefully examined the map.

The area Guang Hong Daoist marked was located southwest of Singing Sand City, almost at the edge of Demon Wind Gobi.

The closest sect to that area was Golden Blade Sect, but for many years, they hadn't detected anything unusual and were unaware of the remnants of Twin Success Valley there.

In Ruan Dadao's memory, that area was entirely barren, primarily consisting of desert and rapids.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual, but the hiding place of the remnants of Twin Success Valley was probably underground, most likely deeply concealed. Even if they dug three feet down, it wouldn't be enough.

Searching such a large underground area thoroughly was not an easy task.

Even if several forces dispatched all their Qi Refining stage and above cultivators and used Earth Escape Spells to venture underground, it would still be difficult to complete the search in a short time.

If they allowed Qi Refining early and mid-stage disciples to use Earth Escape Symbols for the search, the consumption of Earth Escape Symbols would be astronomical. Especially now during Flying Swan Sect's war against the sand monsters, the prices of various talismans were much higher than usual.

Moreover, if they sent too many people, once the enemy was alerted, the remnants of Twin Success Valley might escape promptly, wasting everyone's efforts.

Ruan Dadao expressed his concerns, but nobody could come up with a good solution.

Guang Hong Daoist smiled and said, "This matter is simple, it's just that it's troublesome for Sect Master Meng."

"What do you mean?" Meng Zhang was a little puzzled.

"Could it be that Sect Master Meng has forgotten that you have raised many sandworms in your sect?" Guang Hong Daoist grinned.

Although Guang Hong Daoist seemed nonchalant in his remark, Meng Zhang became vigilant.

Since obtaining the special magic tool for controlling insects, Meng Zhang had raised many sandworms inside it for mining purposes.

After Hu Jing displayed talent in the aspect of controlling beasts, she not only received many inheritances in controlling beasts but also took over the use of the insect-controlling pot.

Hu Jing truly lived up to her position as the Hall Master of Beast Controlling Hall.

The quantity of sandworms raised inside the insect-controlling pot was limited, but the sandworms raised by the insect-controlling pot were not only more powerful than ordinary sandworms but also more intelligent.

Sandworms were monsters that lived on a small scale.

Hu Jing used the sandworms in the insect-controlling pot to attack in all directions, forcibly subduing other sandworms, and then training them within the insect-controlling pot.

After years of effort in collecting, Hu Jing had controlled nearly a hundred sandworms in the insect-controlling pot.

Usually, controlling these sandworms for mining could save a lot of labor costs.

Due to the limited manpower of Taiyi Sect, these sandworms greatly contributed to mining vast amounts of minerals in a short time.

Of course, some extremely precious minerals, such as warm jade mines, couldn't be mined by sandworms. Warm jade would be corroded and digested quickly if it fell into a sandworm's belly.

These sandworms were not only the best miners, dutiful and efficient in their work, but also a formidable strength hidden within Taiyi Sect.

Although the sandworms were only first-tier monster beasts, with a number reaching nearly a hundred, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

When Meng Zhang ambushed cultivators from Green Bamboo Mountain, the sandworms made significant contributions. They emerged from the ground and disrupted the position of the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators.

The existence of sandworms was not a secret within the sect and couldn't be kept secret since they were used for mining. However, they had never voluntarily revealed it to outsiders.

Guang Hong Daoist casually revealed the sandworms that Taiyi Sect raised, indicating his relatively thorough understanding of the internal situation of Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang couldn't tell if Guang Hong Daoist was just speaking casually or if there was a warning behind his words.

Meng Zhang's thoughts were complex, but on the surface, he responded actively.

"Don't worry; I almost forgot about it, Daoist."

"Right, sandworms naturally live underground and are good at digging and burrowing. If we use these sandworms to search underground, it would indeed save a lot of effort for everyone."

"Daoist's mind is truly flexible, with countless ingenious ideas. This method is impressive. I, as Sect Master, am really unqualified for not making good use of the resources within the sect."

After listening to the dialogue between Guang Hong Daoist and Meng Zhang, the others also understood.
