Xu Mengying quickly returned and appeared in front of Meng Zhang once again. She handed over the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe with a heavy heart. As a Fourth Rank magic tool with a tool spirit, it was relatively easy to refine as long as the tool spirit didn't resist and willingly cooperated.
The tool spirit of the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe was a little girl dressed in colorful clothes, with two braids reaching to the sky. This little girl looked like a six or seven-year-old human child in appearance, but her intelligence was equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human child. The previous owner of the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe had given her the nickname Cai'er.
Fourth Rank magic tools could exist almost indefinitely in environments with abundant spiritual energy. Even if left for thousands of years, they were unlikely to be damaged. The lifespan of the tool spirit of a Fourth Rank magic tool was also extremely long, much longer than that of Human Clan cultivators or demon beasts.
A Fourth Rank magic tool's tool spirit could go through multiple Primordial Spirit True Monarch owners, and even if the owners died during meditation, the tool spirit would still be vibrant. This was a common occurrence in the Cultivation World.
Moreover, the tool spirit could also evolve and even cultivate actively. However, the growth and progress of the tool spirit were very slow.
The Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe had been a Fourth Rank magic tool for hundreds of years, and Cai'er, the tool spirit, had been with it for just as long. But she still looked like a little girl, and her progress in both wisdom and cultivation base wasn't significant.
For a special existence like a tool spirit, a few hundred years was not much time at all. Taking a nap could easily make decades or even hundreds of years pass by.
Cai'er, the tool spirit of the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe, had a lively and active nature. She loved to wander around outside. After spending so many years in the Yellow Lotus Sect's secret vault, she felt quite suffocated compared to other Fourth Rank magic tool spirits who had grown used to such an environment. Therefore, she was particularly happy to be taken outside by Xu Mengying.
Xu Mengying told Cai'er that from now on, her new owner would be Meng Zhang. Although Cai'er was a little reluctant to leave the Yellow Lotus Sect, she didn't show too much resistance.
The pursuit of evolution was an instinct for living beings, and tool spirits were no exception. This was why most Fourth Rank magic tools needed an owner; the benefits of having Primordial Spirit True Monarch's power were numerous for the tool spirits.
Meng Zhang had a strong foundation and cultivated a superior technique passed down from a major sect. His painstakingly accumulated Primordial Spirit's power was exceptionally pure and contained a special aura that had a unique attraction to tool spirits.
As soon as the Primordial Spirit's power entered her body, Cai'er couldn't help but let out a groan of pleasure. The purity of this power was simply too comfortable and intoxicating. She wanted to immerse herself in this power forever.
Cai'er had previous owners and had seen other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from the Yellow Lotus Sect. However, the combined Primordial Spirit's power of all of them did not possess the same allure as Meng Zhang's Primordial Spirit's power.
A virtual image of a little girl appeared on the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe, and she eagerly absorbed the Primordial Spirit's power released by Meng Zhang. For a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, their Primordial Spirit's power was their essence—cultivated and accumulated through hard work, it was extremely precious and couldn't be wasted lightly.
Regarding how to interact with tool spirits and how to tame them, there were detailed records in the Taiyi Sect's inheritance classics. As long as they weren't dealing with stubborn and difficult-to-handle entities like the Void Cauldron, ordinary Fourth Rank magic tool tool spirits like Cai'er could be managed quite effectively by Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang stopped channeling his Primordial Spirit's power, and the tool spirit Cai'er, who had been immersed in it, appeared anxious after being interrupted. A burst of light flashed, and not far in front of Meng Zhang, a little girl appeared out of thin air. She seemed eager and couldn't wait to pounce on Meng Zhang. After some bargaining, Meng Zhang finally managed to gain Cai'er's allegiance temporarily.
"Greetings, Master," Cai'er respectfully saluted Meng Zhang.
For a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the Primordial Spirit's power was not limitless. It was a skill to use as little Primordial Spirit's power as possible to subdue a tool spirit.
Meng Zhang felt a strange feeling, as if he were coaxing a little girl.
"Starting in three years…" Xu Mengying didn't catch what Meng Zhang was mumbling but instead told him directly.
The Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe was only temporarily loaned to Meng Zhang. It would become completely his only after successfully killing the True Monarch Mountain Peak.
Meng Zhang had no objections to this arrangement. Once something was in his hands, he wouldn't return it. Of course, he had no intention of breaking his promise. He was fundamentally an honest person; if he received someone's favor, he would definitely carry it out.
Xu Mengying had offered him such great benefits, and Meng Zhang decided not to hold back anymore. He planned to reveal his trump cards and attempt to kill the True Monarch Mountain Peak on the spot.
However, openly killing the True Monarch Mountain Peak was not an option. The Jiuqu League was still intact, and if Meng Zhang were to publicly kill a senator within the alliance, it would be an unforgivable crime.
To successfully kill the True Monarch Mountain Peak without leaving any trouble, they needed to act covertly and ensure that their actions were concealed, with no leaks of information.
Since Xu Mengying dared to persuade Meng Zhang to take action, she must have had a well-thought-out plan.
True Monarch Mountain Peak was a formidable enemy of Xu Mengying, and she had invested a lot of effort into seeking information about their every move. After years of hard work, she finally found a perfect opportunity for a silent and untraceable assassination.
Xu Mengying revealed all the details of this opportunity and her plan without holding anything back.
After listening to it all, Meng Zhang couldn't help but shudder. No wonder they say you should never offend a woman. He had no idea what deep-seated enmity existed between True Monarch Mountain Peak and Xu Mengying, but she was so determined to put an end to them.
However, none of this concerned Meng Zhang. He had no interest in getting involved in their grievances.
True Monarch Mountain Peak was already his enemy, and he had accepted Xu Mengying's favor. Naturally, he would do his best to eliminate True Monarch Mountain Peak.
Xu Mengying had chosen a location above the Nine Heavens for the operation, but they would have to wait for about half a year before the time was right.
Meng Zhang was not in a hurry; he waited calmly within the mountain gate.
Similarly, Xu Mengying set aside all the matters of the Yellow Lotus Sect and prepared for the upcoming battle.
