"Fleeting spiritual power?"
Wang Sheng had also heard this phrase for the first time and was somewhat curious.
"Yes, this is something I discovered after my Spiritual Visualization connected with the Taiping Army. Every person’s actions are controlled by the mind, and in this process, some meaningless dispersal occurs. Typically, this dispersed spiritual power would vanish after some time, but after I connected with the Taiping Army, I found that I could collect and utilize this spiritual power.
This usage won’t harm anyone; in fact, the significant boost I gave to the Taiping Army this time is the result of over a year of collection. I don’t know when I’ll be able to use it next.
And the feeling of collecting this kind of dispersed spiritual power is quite unique..."
Such a secret was undoubtedly core, and revealing it could cause considerable trouble, but Huangtian still shared it with Wang Sheng without any concealment, even detailing the method of collecting dispersed spiritual power.
"..."
Wang Sheng’s feelings were complicated. His initial assistance to Huangtian was partly out of sympathy and partly out of self-interest, and it was just a casual gesture of support.
Yet now, he had reaped such a vast return.
The things Huangtian revealed were of immense value, even if it was just the information about the fleeting spiritual power.

Not to mention the details of how to collect it.
The return on investment was beyond his imagination.
No matter how others viewed these words, to him, the information was invaluable.
"Thank you so much, Huangtian!"
His gratitude was genuine.
"If I could be of help to you, sir!" Huangtian smiled. To him, the debt of saving a life was more significant than heaven, and he felt it was worth it to assist his savior.
Wang Sheng said nothing more and chatted with Huangtian for a while before deciding to leave.
His purpose for coming was actually fulfilled: following this incident, the Taiping Sect would certainly take over Mountain Pass State, Yu State, Shi Zhou, and Quanzhou.
As for Chi State, where Yuelai Inn was located, although they had not officially taken over, given the relationship between Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao, and the fact that there was no conflict of interest between the Taiping Sect and Yuelai Inn, Chi State could be essentially considered as the sect’s territory.
Under such circumstances, the Taiping Sect had firmly established itself, and it was time for him to return.
He would have to properly investigate this concept of fleeting spiritual power.
"Are you leaving already, sir? I wanted to invite you for a meal!"
Seeing Huangtian’s expectant gaze, Wang Sheng ultimately did not refuse.
The two went directly to the Taiping Army’s camp for the meal, which turned out to be quite good.
There were only four people present: Huangtian, his sister Huang Yuling, Zhu Xiao, and himself.
Both Huangtian and Huang Yuling were very grateful to him, to the point where he was somewhat embarrassed.
So after the meal, he left directly. Huangtian did not stop him this time; there were still many things to be dealt with in the Five States.
However, word of his dining got around within the military camp.
"Chef Qian, do you know who the Sect Hierarch had you cook for?"
Chef Qian was the head of the sect’s cooks, highly skilled, and Huangtian had particularly requested him for this occasion. A chef might seem trivial, but in a military camp, they were incredibly important.
The question came from one of the high-ranking members of the Taiping Sect. They had their suspicions but were unsure.

"You’ve come to the right person, I indeed know." If he hadn’t been focused on cooking the meal well, he would have sought others to chat with soon after. "The guest the Sect Hierarch hosted, one of them you all know, is the Shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn."
"The Shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn, huh, seems normal enough. Yuelai Inn has given us not insignificant support, both openly and secretly. You mentioned one of them; who’s the other?"
"The other guest is a big shot; that’s the Sect Hierarch’s own mentor, sir. I overheard the Hierarch mentioning that without a mentor, there would be no Taiping Sect today."
The high-ranking members exchanged looks; it was as they suspected. The only person who would warrant such esteem from the Sect Hierarch was that legendary teacher.
And that enormous figure during the day was likely dealt with by the Hierarch’s teacher as well, or else the situation wouldn’t have concluded so smoothly.
This confirmed their thoughts; while they had believed the Taiping Sect to be a rootless duckweed, it now seemed to possess a powerful backing.
Could it be from another empire?
Their minds were a whirl of thoughts. Unexposed as they were to the outside world, they had no clear understanding of the situation there.
Facing a transcendent being like Wang Sheng, they believed he might have come from beyond their borders.
This was the only possibility they could think of; otherwise, could it be a Master of Destiny?
Of course, with such a formidable backer, their Taiping Sect was guaranteed to develop more smoothly.
With these thoughts, the group sought out Huangtian, but in the end, they were scolded by him.
"I’ve always felt that the teacher was unfathomable. If he intervened, maybe all problems could be easily solved, and even the four empires could be effortlessly taken care of, allowing the Taiping Sect to expand to all of Day Zhou in an instant. But would that truly be good? My friends, some things are inevitable, such as the need for a pillar like a divine needle; we must go with the flow and have one.
But some things must be achieved step by step by us, like the development of the Taiping Sect. We seek a complete transformation. If the teacher were involved, things might indeed go a lot smoother, but the final outcome would be uncertain."
