chapter 128: refining qi 8 heavy lao bulu showed great enthusiasm, not only providing meng zhang with many useful suggestions but also offering skilled miners. he promised to purchase all the white hidden earth mined at a fair price. meng zhang believed that among the miners provided by lao bulu, there must be his spies. this had nothing to do with their friendship; it was a necessary measure. flying swan sect's secret attention to the white hidden earth mine couldn't be avoided, so they might as well accept it openly. if only ordinary mortal miners were involved, meng zhang had plenty of means to deceive them and conceal the true output of the white hidden earth mine. with lao bulu taken care of, the mining of the white hidden earth finally proceeded smoothly. when meng zhang and his men arrived at the white hidden earth mine, all traces of the ghost cultivators and the zhao family cultivator's battle had long disappeared. twin success valley had organized matters in a systematic and thorough manner. they dispatched two cultivators to be stationed near the mine, ostensibly to supervise taiyi sect's mining and ensure that the proper share of white hidden earth was handed over to twin success valley. this was a common practice; all subordinate forces of twin success valley were required to submit a certain proportion of their mining yield as an offering. with this arrangement, twin success valley had both overt and covert surveillance over the white hidden earth mine. the specific details of mining and other related tasks kept meng zhang extremely busy, despite lao bulu's prior guidance and reminders. organizing the miners, transporting supplies, and managing various tasks proved to be quite complex and chaotic. eventually, meng zhang called upon li xuan to take charge of these affairs while he himself went to investigate the zhao family's oasis. with the divine ability of mind reading, it was effortless for meng zhang to discern the thoughts of mortals. nevertheless, reading their minds was still a laborious task. the minds of ordinary people were cluttered with various thoughts, and many seemingly honest individuals had remarkably dirty minds, which disgusted meng zhang. despite meng zhang's strong determination, these mental contaminations still made him extremely uneasy. nonetheless, he cleared out all the zhao family members' thoughts related to the taiyi sect, sending them to work in the mine and severing the zhao family's roots, eliminating any hidden dangers in the oasis. taiyi sect's disciples were increasing in number, and over the past two years, several loose cultivators had joined the sect. even among the ordinary mortals under their rule, there were those awakening spiritual roots and becoming taiyi sect disciples. with the growing numbers, the previous organizational structure was no longer suitable. meng zhang decided to establish a certain hierarchical distinction. the disciples were divided into inner-sect disciples and outer disciples. the inner-sect disciples were selected by the sect master from those at the mid-refining qi stage and above. tian li and fang qiansuan, whom meng zhang had high hopes for, reached the refining qi 4th stage during these two years and became inner-sect disciples. similarly, wang shengli, the son of wang shitou and a disciple of daoist clear spirit, also became an inner-sect disciple. zhang zhanlin, who managed the grocery store in singing sand city, not only brought various cultivation world information to taiyi sect but also earned a considerable profit, surpassing meng zhang's expectations. meng zhang promoted him to inner-sect disciple and handed over most of the sect's commercial affairs to him. among the newly recruited loose cultivators, a female disciple named hu jing showed great talent in taming and nurturing spiritual beasts. meng zhang also promoted her to an inner-sect disciple. additionally, zheng chao, another disciple from a loose cultivator background, impressed meng zhang and was promoted as an inner-sect disciple as well. the distinction between inner-sect disciples and outer disciples went beyond mere status, as there were significant differences in the sect's allowances and privileges. with this group of inner-sect disciples, taiyi sect had a reliable middle-management backbone. these inner-sect disciples were like small leaders who could effectively manage the outer disciples. after expending all the crimson feather liquid, nine out of the over ten retrieved eggs hatched successfully, while the rest remained dormant. among the hatched eggs, three large crimson feather eagles could be tamed as flying mounts, while the other nine small ones were useful as scouts and spies. to accommodate these living creatures, meng zhang purchased a batch of spirit beast bags from the firewell market at a high price. each bag capable of carrying living beings cost at least thousands of top-grade spirit stones and was frequently in short supply. meng zhang made several trips to the firewell market to acquire these bags.
