A miser with strong financial resources is not scary, but if you know how to convert financial resources into combat power, it would be a bit interesting.

When they arrived at the foot of Linshan Mountain, there were disciples who were specially designed to welcome guests. They stepped forward to warmly receive Meng and Zhang.

They were led all the way up the mountain, passing the majestic mountain gate of the Linshan Sect, and reaching halfway up the mountain. Xu Chengxian, the leader of the Linshan Sect, was already waiting there.

"Master Meng, welcome, welcome. You can come to Linshan, this sect will be really prosperous."

"Master Xu, you are so polite. Since the last time we said goodbye, Master Xu's style has always been unforgettable. See you again today. Master Xu is even better than before."

Compared with the Linshan Sect, which is rich and powerful, Taiyi Sect is just a little kid. Xu Chengxian is even more cultivated, and his seniority is above Meng Zhang.

Xu Chengxian was able to put down his dignity and personally receive the leader of a small sect like Meng Zhang. This man is quite unique in his way of dealing with people.

The two of them only exchanged pleasantries for a moment, but Xu Chengxian was able to make Meng and Zhang feel as if they were taking a shower of spring breeze and feel at home.

After a while, Xu Chengxian reluctantly ended his conversation with Meng Zhang, called a close disciple, and led them to settle down in the Yashe where they were waiting for guests.

The Linshan sect is rich and powerful, and the sect occupies a large area. It is an exquisite and elegant building complex specially used for entertaining guests.

Meng and Zhang were settled in a small independent courtyard.

The small courtyards are separated by groves, creeks, bridges, etc.

After resting in the small courtyard for a while, Li Xuan took Meng Zhang out of the small courtyard.

This time, the Linshan Sect held a foundation-building ceremony and invited almost all the surrounding cultivation forces, and basically all the leaders of the major forces were present.

This is a rare communication opportunity, where you can get to know people from all walks of life and build friendships with other forces.

Meng Zhang was very repulsive to this kind of social activities. He was not the kind of ascetic monk who only knew how to practice hard behind closed doors, but he was not the kind of person who liked liveliness and social interaction.

Li Xuan earnestly persuaded Meng Zhang that as the leader of Taiyi Sect, dealing with people is unavoidable. Not to mention how to be good at dancing, at least you can't make enemies in vain.

People who are too arrogant are easy to be isolated by others, and people who are too unsociable are easy to be ostracized.

As the leader of a sect, you need to broaden your social circle. Having more friends makes life easier. Even if you don’t have allies, you still need to make more friends to strive for a more relaxed external environment for Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang finally knows what it means to be in control of one's own actions. Now that he has become the leader of the Taiyi Sect, he is forced to do many things he doesn't like to do.

Li Xuan, the military advisor, made sense, and Meng Zhang listened humbly.

The two of them left the small courtyard, and there was a large garden outside.

There are all kinds of buildings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

Many of the stone terraces in the garden were already crowded with guests.

The leaders of the major cultivation forces who came to participate in this foundation-building ceremony, just as Li Xuan persuaded Meng Zhang, seized this rare opportunity for everyone to gather together and were socializing.

At that time, Li Xuan was a member of the Li family and a shopkeeper in Mingshafang City. He had a wide circle of friends and many acquaintances.

Now with a new owner, Li Xuan has given full play to his advantages.

"Brother Ruan, long time no see. This is the head of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhangmeng. He is my new boss."

"Master, this Brother Ruan is a hero of the Golden Sword Sect."

…

"Master, this is Brother Chen, the elder of the Flying Eagle Sect's foreign affairs. Please let me introduce you two."

…

"Master, this ancient brother may not be considered a casual cultivator, but many family cultivators are far inferior to him."

…

Li Xuan led Meng Zhang almost around the garden, talked with all the monks he could talk to, and introduced Meng Zhang to them.

Meng Zhang walked around in such a circle that he felt that the smile on his face was almost numb.

He was not physically tired, but felt mentally tired and had a vague sense of irritability.

Among the vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley, such as the Linshan Sect and the destroyed Li family, the family has always had monks in the foundation building stage, and there are many monks in the Qi refining stage.

This is considered the first level force. It is not weak and very powerful. Even Shuangfenggu will often give them a little face and will not treat them completely as subordinates.

The second tier are those of the Zhao family, the old enemies of the Taiyi Sect.

A force of this level has many monks in the late stage of Qi refining. If you are lucky, you can also train a monk in the foundation building stage.

When the foundation-building monks are there, they can even challenge the first-tier forces. Without the foundation-building monks, the family's power will decline sharply and even face various crises.

The third level is that there have never been any monks in the foundation building stage, and they all rely on the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining to support the scene.

The Taiyi Sect more than ten years ago was even a force of this level. But after the sand monster rebellion more than ten years ago, the Taiyi Sect, which lost all its elders in the late stage of Qi Refining, was not even as strong as this level.

, directly fell to the bottom of all the vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley.

Now that Meng Zhang's cultivation has entered the late stage of Qi refining, the Taiyi Sect has begun to recover, and the Taiyi Sect can barely be counted as a third-tier force.

Even so, among the many forces in the garden, Taiyi Sect is still considered very weak.

When you meet those powerful people, those with a good personality will be polite to you, while those with a bad personality will simply ignore them.

Li Xuan and Meng Zhang accompanied him everywhere with a smile on his face, but they did not establish any friendship.

Walking to a deserted corner of the garden, Meng Zhang had a gloomy look on his face.

"Master, those people's eyes are higher than their heads. You don't need to be on par with them."

Li Xuan carefully looked at Meng Zhang's face and comforted him in a low voice.

Meng Zhang's psychology is not as fragile as Li Xuan imagined. Having lived in two lives, he has a mature enough mentality. He has seen many such scenes of rising high and falling low, with red tops and white tops, in his previous life.

In the final analysis, Taiyi Sect is still too weak, which is why people look down on it and ignore it.

At this time, another group of people walked into the garden and came nearby.

"You don't need to introduce these people, I all know them." Meng Zhang said to Li Xuan with a smile.

Meng Zhang not only knew these people, but was also very familiar with them.

This group of people are all descendants of the Zhao family, and the middle-aged man at the head is none other than Zhao Dong, who had fought against Meng Zhang.

When Meng Zhang saw Zhao Dong, he also saw Meng Zhang.

When he brought Fang Meng to Tianshui Oasis to cause trouble, Zhao Dong was at the sixth level of Qi refining. After just a few years of absence, he had entered the late stage of Qi refining and had reached the seventh level of Qi refining.

Zhao Dong, who was somewhat arrogant, gave Meng Zhang a provocative look.
