When Meng Zhang arrived at War Hall, Zheng Chao was instructing several disciples. Meng Zhang became interested and not only gave some guidance but also personally tested and assessed these disciples. Although these disciples’ actions were still a bit inexperienced, they showed considerable proficiency and had a systematic approach.
After encouraging Zheng Chao, Meng Zhang left the place and went to Formations Hall. Inside Formations Hall, it was deserted, with only Wen Qiansun, the Hall Master, and two Formation Master apprentices.

Formation is considered a highly challenging skill among the myriad arts of cultivation. Without exceptional comprehension and extraordinary intelligence, one can hardly grasp the essence of formations. Despite having numerous disciples in Taiyi Sect, they could barely cultivate two Formation Master apprentices.
When not engaged in cultivation, Wen Qiansun studied various formation scriptures. Any matters related to formations within the sect were handled by him. If even he couldn’t handle them, it would require the intervention of Deep EarthSpirit General.
Formations Hall didn’t offer much to see, so after encouraging Wen Qiansun, Meng Zhang left the place.
The duties of Outer Affairs Hall mainly took place outside the sect, and as the Hall Master, Li Xuan spent most of his time on the go. Meng Zhang had no specific reason to visit him there.
General Affairs Hall was managed by Meng Zhang’s senior brother, Tian Zhen, who was also the General Affairs Elder of the sect. For many years, Tian Zhen had been handling the day-to-day affairs of the sect in an orderly manner, and Meng Zhang had great trust in him.
Currently, the arrangement of tasks for sect disciples, the issuance of missions, the distribution of rewards, and other similar matters all fell under the responsibility of General Affairs Hall. Additionally, this hall was in charge of handling various unclassified tasks within the sect.
Meng Zhang also entrusted the management of the sect’s treasury to Tian Zhen. Recognizing his own limited aptitude in cultivation, Tian Zhen focused most of his time on sect affairs, as he believed that his future in cultivation was somewhat limited, bordering on giving up on it altogether.
Meng Zhang had advised Tian Zhen several times and even wanted to delegate some of his tasks to others, but Tian Zhen firmly refused. His determination to personally take charge was not about grasping power but rather a lack of confidence in others. He insisted on contributing to the sect himself. 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m
Everyone had their own aspirations, but despite Meng Zhang’s earnest persuasions, he had no choice but to let it go. Tian Zhen genuinely enjoyed the busy workload and was unwilling to give it up.
General Affairs Hall was the busiest place in Taiyi Sect. Disciples came and went, collecting and submitting tasks, creating a continuous flow of activity.
Meng Zhang glanced at it as he passed by but refrained from disturbing the work inside.
Deep EarthSpirit General, the guardian and also the Hall Master of Merit Hall, often presided in Hidden Scripture Pavilion, answering disciples’ questions and guiding their cultivation.
Originally a powerful cultivator at the Gold Core level, Deep EarthSpirit General encountered a great calamity and was left with only a remnant of his soul, escaping death by a hair’s breadth. Currently, his Cultivation Base had only recovered to the early stages of Foundation Building. To further advance, he had to rely not so much on his personal cultivation achievements but more on external resources.
As a result, Deep EarthSpirit General didn’t have much time for personal cultivation, dedicating more time to sect affairs.
Since reaching the Foundation Building stage, Deep EarthSpirit General’s attitude towards Meng Zhang had changed from before. He now showed greater approval and recognition, evident in the way he treated him differently from before.
Meng Zhang strolled around the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and then voluntarily left without disturbing the Deep Earth Spirit General and their companions.
Although the Law Enforcement Hall was established at the sect’s entrance, Meng Zhang had been unable to find a suitable candidate for the position of Hall Master. Consequently, he took on the role himself.

The Law Enforcement Hall was situated not far from the main hall of the sect, while Meng Zhang’s Sect Master’s quarters were located behind it. During his spare time from cultivation, Meng Zhang would spend some time at the Law Enforcement Hall, handling accumulated affairs.
He carefully selected several disciples known for their rigor and fair judgment to work in the Law Enforcement Hall. These disciples were responsible for maintaining the sect’s rules and recording any violations, after which Meng Zhang would impose appropriate punishments depending on the severity of the situation.
Rather than going to the Law Enforcement Hall, Meng Zhang considered that with an increase in the number of disciples, the hall should expand accordingly, ideally with a suitable Hall Master appointed.
Meng Zhang eventually arrived at the sect’s spirit field.
Fuzhao Valley had been diligently managed by the Zhao Family for many years and later further improved by Twin Success Valley. The hundreds of acres of spirit fields were in good order.
While the entry requirements for the Spirit Plant Technique were low, achieving proficiency required countless efforts and dedication. For disciples with poor aptitude or lacking other talents, studying the Spirit Plant Technique seemed to be the most reliable option.
The sect had numerous spirit farmers, but only a few were qualified, and even fewer were outstanding. Over the years, the most exceptional spirit farmers in the sect were Daoist Clear Spirit and his few disciples, as well as Wang Shitou and his son, who had joined Taiyi Sect in earlier years.
Daoist Clear Spirit, as the elder in charge of spirit field affairs, not only managed all the spirit fields in Fuzhao Valley but also those in other spirit veins across Taiyi Sect’s territory. Even with the assistance of the Wang father and son, Daoist Clear Spirit was constantly busy and overwhelmed.
However, he bore no discontent and instead relished the busy work within the spirit fields.
Upon Meng Zhang’s arrival in the spirit field, Daoist Clear Spirit was occupied with his duties. After Daoist Clear Spirit had finished, Meng Zhang respectfully paid his respects to this esteemed elder of the sect. They exchanged a few words before Meng Zhang took his leave to avoid interrupting Daoist Clear Spirit’s work.
Meng Zhang contemplated and decided to establish an organization within the sect known as the Cultivation Field Hall, responsible for all affairs related to the spirit fields. Any new spirit fields or maintenance tasks would be entrusted to the Cultivation Field Hall.
During peak times at the spirit fields, disciples from the sect could be called upon to assist. Additionally, some mounts, including flying ones, would be specifically allocated to the Cultivation Field Hall to facilitate their movements between various spirit fields.
Having served the sect for many years and earned trust, Wang Shitou was a suitable candidate to become the Hall Master of the Cultivation Field Hall.
Meng Zhang hoped that this move would alleviate Daoist Clear Spirit’s burden. Despite having several sources of minerals, the output of the spirit fields remained Taiyi Sect’s most crucial source of income. More importantly, an ample supply of spirit rice was essential for the cultivation of sect disciples.
Meng Zhang, as a Foundation Building cultivator, no longer required ordinary spirit rice and merely indulged in it occasionally for the taste. However, the majority of disciples in the sect still relied on it.
Given the significance of the spirit fields, Meng Zhang paid particular attention to them.
After inspecting various places within the sect, Meng Zhang mounted the Red Feathered Eagle and began to survey Taiyi Sect’s territory. Throughout the oases within the territory, some old disciples who had left the sect were helping to guard them, and overall, there were no major issues.
Due to Meng Zhang’s repeated efforts to bring in new people from outside and the annexation of other oases, the population under Taiyi Sect’s rule had increased significantly, leading to a thorough change in the population structure.
