chapter 233: inspecting the sect (1) meng zhang did not blame zhang yingying. instead, he comforted her with a few words. the cultivation of an alchemist is not something that can be rushed. besides the sect's strong emphasis on nurturing talents, it also depends on the disciple's aptitude. among the several nearby sects, the shi family is a remnant of the purple gold sect with a long history. hundreds of years ago, they were already a somewhat famous family of alchemists. in recent years, they produced an alchemy genius named shi changqing, which led to their current achievements. as for other sects like qiaoshou sect, golden blade sect, and forest mountain school, they may have a few first rank alchemists who can refine a small number of first rank pills for cultivators in the refining qi stage. among them, it seems that forest spring watch has a foundation building stage second rank alchemist, but their reputation is not prominent, and their skills are only average. since zhang yingying was recruited into the sect, she has refined many pills for the sect. she worked hard without credit and did her best in nurturing alchemists. although meng zhang usually appears to be less involved in the specific affairs of the sect, he pays close attention to all the situations within the sect. he is very satisfied with zhang yingying's performance. nurturing alchemists is a long-term plan that cannot be rushed, nor can it be achieved hastily. meng zhang encouraged zhang yingying sincerely before leaving the pill hall. after leaving the pill hall, meng zhang strolled around several other places within the sect. the tool hall, located in a remote corner of the sect due to its frequent use of fire for refining tools, was under the leadership of tian li. it had developed quite well. apart from a few more apprentices responsible for handling various mineral materials, there were also two additional tool refiners. including tian li himself, there were three first rank tool refiners who were fully capable of independently refining first rank magic tools. many of the first rank magic tools in the hands of the disciples were crafted by these three. the beast controlling hall is managed by a female disciple named hu jing. she possesses exceptional talent in both cultivation base and beast taming, particularly excelling in controlling the magical tool "beast taming cauldron." the cultivation of the red feathered eagles within the sect has been going very smoothly. there are already five or six of them that can be ridden, while more than twenty others, although too small for riding, serve as messengers and scouts for the sect. upon taking over fuzhao valley, meng zhang received a batch of spirit birds from the disciples of twin success valley. mainly comprised of various types of immortal cranes, about six or seven of them are now suitable for riding. having these flying mounts significantly enhances the mobility of taiyi sect's disciples, allowing them to control such a vast and desolate territory in the endless sea of sand. unlike the densely populated middle-earth continent, the endless sea of sand is sparsely inhabited due to its harsh environment, with vast areas of hundreds of miles devoid of human presence. as taiyi sect's territory is quite extensive but scattered with only a few oases and remote mining sites, having the ability to move quickly is crucial. it is impractical to rely on foundation building cultivators for every minor task; thus, the numerous refining qi cultivators play a vital role in maintaining the sect's rule. providing refining qi cultivators with flying mounts becomes a meaningful endeavor. apart from the beast controlling hall's aerial mounts, there are also many low-level demon beasts like mountain patrol dogs that, once tamed, are still useful. however, the development of the beast controlling hall is somewhat limited due to the scarcity of high-quality and well-bred demon beasts. meng zhang is pleasantly surprised to discover that the wind chasing horses he used to ride frequently during his refining qi period have successfully bred and produced many excellent offspring. these new wind chasing horses have grown up and now provide excellent mounts for the sect's disciples. additionally, the large-horned cattle bred within the sect have become the main force for cultivating spirit fields. unexpectedly, hu jing, a female disciple, has managed the beast controlling hall so well, achieving remarkable results among the various halls of the sect. meng zhang sincerely praises hu jing for her accomplishments. the war hall occupies a significant area and serves as a place for members to practice their spells. besides the fixed group of disciples with decent combat abilities, all other disciples of the sect take turns to undergo training in the war hall to enhance their practical combat skills. zheng chao's cultivation base has already reached the ninth level of refining qi. in terms of combat power, except for yang xueyi, no other refining qi stage disciple in the sect is his match. meng zhang not only presents zheng chao with the magic tool "soul-stirring bell" he used back in the day but also gifts him the second rank puppet he obtained from the li family's secret library, along with several second rank talismans. as the hall master of the war hall, zheng chao is a key player in the sect's combat operations and must have some life-saving tricks up his sleeve.
