Leaving the mountain

  It's normal for a master to get stuck in a bottleneck and go out to travel. Many Qi-refining disciples have refined their Qi to perfection, but feel that their foundation is still lacking some fire, so they choose to go out and travel. Therefore, Mo Tian Ge returned to the mountain and reported to the Executive Hall, and got permission.

  Traveling, as it is called, is not about touring mountains and rivers, but rather seeking opportunities. The impact of opportunities on cultivators can sometimes even surpass their innate qualities. For example, a thousand years ago, there was a cultivator with poor innate qualities who obtained a great opportunity and actually cultivated a primordial infant, possessing immense divine powers that shook the world at the time. Of course, such opportunities are also extremely difficult to encounter, and it's unknown how many years it takes for one like this to appear again. For most people, being able to obtain some spiritual herbs or objects, or suddenly breaking through their bottlenecks through enlightenment, is already a great achievement.

  Mò Tiān Gē never had such a delusion, with her talent, even if she relied on an unattainable opportunity. Probably even with eight hundred years of life, she wouldn't be able to advance in rank.

  Moreover, to be precise, her situation is not a bottleneck, but rather an unstable mindset. Because time is pressing and her own qualifications are too poor, she has no hope for the success of the foundation, so she can't calm down.

  After thinking for a long time, Mo Tian Ge felt that it was better to go to some big sects with her younger brother Jiao Liu. Anyway, she was still young and had already obtained the foundation-building pill, so there was no need to take risks for opportunities. Having made this decision, she bid farewell to her second uncle and left Yunwu Mountain.

  It's her first time traveling alone, since she came to Kunwu, she hasn't left her second uncle's side. But now, she is no longer the little girl who just arrived in Kunwu, she has seen and experienced a lot, and can confidently handle any situation that comes her way.

  Yunwu Mountain is located in a small corner of Dong Kunwu. Before being annexed, there were only the Purple Mist Sect and the Golden Knife Gate nearby. The nearest gate was also thousands of miles away. Except for some small gates, the closest one, without a doubt, is the mountain gate of Zhengdao Tiandao Sect, the leader of the seven major gates of Kunwu.

  Qunwu has seven major sects: Tiandao Sect, Xuancing Gate, Gujian Sect, Binyun Sect, Zhengfa Gate, Lingshou Sect and Danding Gate. Among them, the Lingshou Sect and the Danding Gate are both minor sects, with one riding beasts and the other refining elixirs. Although they have more people than the average immortal cultivation sect, their overall strength is much higher than that of the average immortal cultivation sect due to their excellent beast-riding and elixir-refining techniques, so they are listed as one of the seven major sects.

  Later, the stronger ones were Biyun Sect and Zhengfa Gate. Zhengfa Gate was a Taoist gate, with many disciples dressed as Taoists; Biyun Sect was a peculiar sect that recruited disciples regardless of gender, all of whom were extremely beautiful, with many female disciples, hence there were many dual cultivation Dao partners within the sect.

  Then there are the Gujian Sect and the Xuanqing Gate. The Gujian Sect is a sword-repairing sect, where one cultivates only one sword for their entire life, with most of their divine abilities concentrated on that single sword. Sword-repairing combat methods have always been more powerful than those of ordinary cultivators, but also more difficult to advance in levels. Therefore, although the high-level cultivators of the Gujian Sect are roughly equal to those of the Zhengfa and Biyun Sects, their actual strength is slightly higher, and they have always been considered to be on par with the Xuanqing Gate. The Xuanqing Gate has a strength second only to that of the Tiandao Sect, and like the Zhengfa Sect, it is also a Daoist sect.

  For thousands of years, the leader of the Kunwu Orthodox has been considered to be the Tiandao Sect, located in the northeast of Kunwu, separated from the Demon Dao by a mountain. The Tiandao Sect is different from other sects, its characteristic being that it has no characteristics, neither having sect skills nor requiring disciples to cultivate anything, and even cultivating demonic skills is not a problem, as long as they do not violate the sect's rules. And the strength of the Tiandao Sect lies in this inclusive and tolerant approach, treating all disciples equally regardless of what they cultivate, resulting in many special talents within the sect.

  The song of the wild sky wants to go to the Tian Dao Sect, because the Tian Dao Sect is both a leader of the righteous path and a miscellaneous school for disciples. It can see more knowledge and is not afraid of any accidents. Although it is said that immortal cultivators do not have absolute justice, people in the righteous path still do not encourage fighting, and it is safer to come and go with righteous disciples.

  Not far from Yunwu Mountain, she found a place to change her clothes, taking off the Yunwu Sect's uniform and putting on very ordinary clothes. The Yunwu Sect has now been absorbed by the Purple Mist Sect, and with that incident last month, it's better to be cautious. Then she started using her light body technique, heading northeast.

  In the past, she followed her second uncle to Liulang, and Mo Tian Ge had seen that some cultivators were originally martial artists who entered the path with their martial skills. She was very interested in their so-called martial arts and movements, so she learned some of them. In these few years, from Xiantai Conference to Zhuji Dan trial, she benefited a lot. Her lightness skill was also faster than that of ordinary cultivators. Within half a month, she arrived at the territory of Tiandao Sect.

  The influence of the Tiandao Sect is vast, and this place already belongs to its territory. In fact, there are only a few small sects attached to it in the surrounding area. However, the market here is very special, and it will hold a Daoist conference at fixed periods, inviting the foundation-laying cultivators of the Tiandao Sect to participate. This conference, as long as you pay the entrance fee, anyone can participate, and you can also ask questions to the lecturing cultivators, and discuss with each other.

  Mo Tian Ge was quite interested in this auction, and the entrance fee of spirit stones wasn't expensive, so she waited here. In addition, she also sold some spiritual instruments that were inconvenient to sell near Yunwu Mountain in batches. Because there were many people coming and going here, and it was a certain distance away from Yunwu Mountain, these spiritual instruments were easily sold, and they added a lot of spirit stones for her.

  Coming out of a shop, Mo Tian Ge turned around a street corner, took off the robe on his body and changed his facial expression, revealing his true face.

  She would sell the spiritual tools in various shops, using her shape-shifting technique to disguise herself as different people, because the origins of these spiritual tools still couldn't be revealed. Moreover, these shops didn't care whether customers used shape-shifting techniques or not, as long as they couldn't see her true face.

  She strolled past the street corner, her senses slightly on alert, but she didn't notice anything unusual. She smiled faintly and walked into another store with her hands in her sleeves.

  The storefront is simple and unadorned, with a counter displaying several brocade boxes containing spiritual tools, talismans, medicinal pellets, and some miscellaneous items.

  The shopkeeper was an ordinary woman who saw her come in and greeted her warmly: "Welcome, immortal master, what can I get for you?"

  Mo Tian Ge was just casually strolling around, so he didn't immediately respond. He carelessly glanced at the few spiritual artifacts on the shelf before turning his head to look at the woman. As soon as he turned his head, she was taken aback.

  This woman was about twenty years old, quite beautiful, and although she was an ordinary person, she was not much different from the fairy women who cultivated immortality. Of course, she wasn't surprised by this; what astonished her was that the woman's face looked so familiar. She thought carefully in her mind, but still couldn't remember when she had seen this person before.

  "Immortal Master?"

  The girl came back to her senses, but saw the woman looking at her uneasily. Suddenly realizing that she hadn't replied for a long time and had been staring at her for a while, and now she was dressed as a man, she must have scared her. Thinking it wasn't convenient to explain, she asked: "What does this store sell?"

  "Look at these excellent spiritual tools, talismans and elixirs. They are all top-notch. Additionally, our small shop also sells talisman paper and brushes made from the finest materials of superior demonic beasts. Take a look."

  Mo Tian Ge had already scanned the items on the shelf, and the spiritual tools were just ordinary goods, not high-grade spiritual tools. The talismans were also low-ranking talismans. As for the dan yao, she didn't know, but judging from the other things, it was probably just an ordinary dan yao too. She had just sold a large quantity of spiritual tools and still had plenty of talismans and dan yao on her, so she didn't need them at all. She casually grabbed a handful of talisman paper, picked out a talisman pen, and some cinnabar powder.

  "How many spirit stones are here?"

  The woman glanced at him and smiled: "These talismans and cinnabar are worth only one piece of spiritual stone, but this brush is worth seven pieces of spiritual stone."

  Eight pieces of Ling Stone, nothing for the current Mo Tian Ge, now take out eight pieces of Ling Stone from the Qian Kun bag and place them on the counter.

  The woman was overjoyed that the deal had been concluded so easily. She carefully wrapped up the things she wanted and handed them over, saying respectfully: "Immortal Master, here are the things you want."

  The stranger's song came to an end, and just as he was about to leave, a young monk walked into the store. This monk had only cultivated his energy for five layers, wore ordinary clothes, looked tired, but had a handsome face and seemed refined.

  The young monk had just entered the shop when the woman who was minding the store called out happily: "Husband, you're back early today."

  It turned out to be the husband of this woman. This is not uncommon, as there are fewer female cultivators than male ones, and many low-ranking female cultivators are taken in as concubines by high-ranking cultivators. Low-ranking male cultivators often have a hard time finding a Daoist partner, so many of them marry mortal women as wives or concubines. It's unclear whether this beautiful woman in front of him is his wife or concubine.

  The master responded faintly with a very cold expression. He raised his head to see Mo Tian Ge, but quickly forced out a smile: "This Taoist friend, do you need anything?"

  Moye naturally knew that she was already at the top of the Qi refining stage, and this cultivator didn't dare to underestimate her. However, he had been so cold to his own wife just now, but smiled warmly at others, which made Moye feel a bit uncomfortable. Especially when she turned around and saw the faint sadness in that woman's eyes, she felt even more heartache.

  An ordinary woman marrying a cultivator can never gain an equal status, to put it nicely, she's a wife or concubine, and to put it harshly, she's just a plaything. Let alone an ordinary woman, even if she were a female cultivator, what would be the difference? Take Shen Bing for example, she had good innate qualities and her family as backing, yet she was still entangled by her beauty and became someone else's concubine.

  She suddenly lost her mood at this point and replied coldly: "Nothing."

  The Taoist priest didn't mind her coldness and said enthusiastically, "You can take a closer look, my little shop may not be great in other aspects, but the talismans and brushes are good, all made by myself."

  She hadn't said anything yet when the woman said: "Husband, this immortal master has already bought talismans and brushes in the store."

  "Is it?" The monk smiled awkwardly, "Since that's the case, thank you for visiting, fellow Taoist. Please make yourself at home."

  Mo Tian Ge nodded slightly, but didn't want to leave. He pretended to be very interested and examined the few spiritual instruments on the cabinet.

  The girl was about to introduce herself, but she waved her hand and said, "No need to greet me, if you're interested, we'll talk naturally."

  Seeing that she didn't want to be disturbed, the woman retreated and, seeing her husband's tired appearance, busily poured tea and offered water.

  The sky is dark and sighs. I really don't understand, the monk is obviously not good to his wife, why does this woman still love him so much?

  "Husband, you've come back so early today, was everything all right?"

  Hearing his wife's question, the monk opened his eyes and took out a cloth bag from his qiankun bag, throwing it to one side: "Today's luck is not good, only picked up these, you go sort them out."

  The woman responded with a sound, picked up the cloth bag and went into the inner room.

  Mo Tian Ge saw this and randomly picked a few talismans, paid with several spirit stones, then left.
