The deceased

  This time, no one came to discuss Tao with the master who had built the foundation. It ended like this. However, everyone was very satisfied.

  As he walked back, Mo Tian Ge was still thinking about what the Tian Dao Sect cultivator had said. It boiled down to two points: one was to make the spiritual energy as pure as possible, and the other was to calm the mind, at least to the point where it was easy to enter a meditative state before building the foundation. Although the Tian Dao Sect's summary of foundation-building experience must not be limited to just these two points, having something was better than nothing, and being able to collect more information about foundation-building would give him more confidence when he built his own foundation.

  It's easy to calm down, An Tian Ge was originally because of the urgency of time, so he panicked and came out to travel, I'm sure it will be fine after a while.

  The first question made her a bit embarrassed. Because of the special changes in the spiritual energy inside her body, she didn't dare to practice and could only wait until she got back and asked her second uncle before doing anything.

  Returned to the inn with a heavy heart, only to suddenly remember that yesterday's matter had not been asked about yet. Just as I was preparing to go out, I suddenly saw someone going upstairs and hastily retreated back into my room.

  "This is a somewhat piercing male voice, with an oily tone that makes people feel very uncomfortable: 'Today we finally have a place to live, no need to sleep on the streets.'"

  Someone immediately chimed in: "Brother Jiang, you can stay in this room. This one is comfortable."

  He seemed to have sized up the room, and the oily male voice said with satisfaction: "This small inn is not bad, it's settled, you guys hurry up and choose some more good wine and dishes."

  Then came Xiao Er's voice: "Yes, yes, several fairy masters please choose at will."

  Then, there was the sound of a door closing, and they should have entered the room. Mo Tian Ge thought for a moment and didn't release her divine sense. The person she saw was indeed the one called Jiang Shixiong, seemingly Jiang Shanghang's paternal cousin, Jiang Chengxian.

  It's really lucky for Jiang Chengxian, last time he practiced the foundation-building pill, people from the Zixia Sect wanted to kill him, and his fellow disciples from the Yunwu Sect also wanted to kill him, but he still managed to escape. Moreover, it is said that the current master of the Yunwu Mountains has already prepared everything for his foundation-building. However, it's really strange, facing the foundation-building, why did Jiang Chengxian run out?

  She quietly opened a gap and since there was no one in the corridor outside, she cast a disguise spell and left the inn.

  Entering the small shop again, the one guarding it was still that beautiful mortal woman. Seeing her come in, she greeted warmly: "This immortal master, what would you like to buy?"

  Mo Tian Ge Huan Xing De Shi Ge Mian Rong Ping Fan De Qing Nian, Ya Di Le Sheng Yin Wen Dao: "Ni Men Zhe You Shen Me?"

  English Translation:

  Mo Tian Ge's illusory form was that of a young man with an ordinary face. He lowered his voice and asked, "What do you have here?"

  The tone was quite unpleasant, but the woman didn't say anything and continued to introduce enthusiastically: "Our small shop has all sorts of common items, the best are talisman paper and talisman brushes."

  "Oh? Let me take a look."

  The woman then took out a stack of talismans and various colored brushes and placed them on the counter: "Please take a look."

  Mo Tian Ge swept her a glance and said calmly: "Seems like it's nothing much!"

  The woman smiled and said: "Of course, it's not something particularly good, but the craftsmanship of this paper symbol is a family tradition passed down from my husband's family. You won't find such a beautiful and affordable thing in other shops."

  "So you're saying everything in your store is very cheap?"

  The woman said, "Master Xian is from out of town, right? Our small shop can't compare to the big stores. We can only survive by relying on low prices. Otherwise, everyone would go to the big stores, where they have everything and high-quality goods. Our small shop wouldn't be able to stay open."

  Mò Tiān Gē naturally knew this principle, as she had also helped her uncle open a small shop in the past. Although the small shop couldn't compete with the large stores, it still attracted many low-ranking cultivators. This was because those people didn't have much money and couldn't afford the things sold at the large stores. The large stores were also too lazy to fight over this small amount of money, so the small shops could survive. Later, they were oppressed because Second Uncle was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, and had some family assets, with a wide range of goods, including some top-quality items from the Refining Qi stage, which allowed him to compete with the large stores for customers.

  "Really?"

  "The young woman said, 'Immortal Master, look at this talisman paper. It's made from the pulp of Wenchang bamboo and the blood of a demonic beast. The quality of Wenchang bamboo is hard and dense, making the paper impermeable to wind, no different from top-grade talisman paper. And these brushes are made from the fur of Blood Frost Wolves, each one carefully selected. These were all hunted down by my husband with great difficulty, guaranteed genuine and authentic.'"

  Mo Tian Ge looked at it, and for a moment didn't say whether he wanted it or not. Instead, he turned to examine the other items in the store, pretending to be nonchalant as he asked: "You said this is your husband's family heirloom craftsmanship, and yet you're from a cultivation family, so why does your store look so run down?"

  The woman's smile stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled again: "A small family can't afford to open a big store. Master Xian, please take a look around, if you need anything, just call me."

  While speaking, Mo Tian Ge secretly sized her up multiple times, and the more he looked, the more similar she seemed.

  This probing made her realize that this couple didn't have any backing. In that case, she didn't take the other party's cultivator of the fifth layer of Qi Refining seriously.

  "There's something I'd like to ask you, madam." The other party was still smiling, so she asked: "May I know your surname and name, madam?"

  As soon as these words came out, the woman's face suddenly showed a tense expression, took a step back, and her complexion turned pale.

  The stranger smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, madam, I have no ulterior motives."

  Although it's interpreted this way, she is now dressed as a man and is a monk; suddenly asking the name of a beautiful woman would be strange if the other person wasn't afraid.

  Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, she released her pressure. The other party was just an ordinary person and couldn't withstand it, retreating several steps back until they were pressed against the wall. Finally, they surrendered: "This humble servant... is surnamed Mo."

  Mò Tiān gē yī dāi, bàn shǎng hòu, xiǎng dào lìng yī zhǒng kě néng, jí qiè wèn dào: "mò lù de mò?"

  English Translation:

  Mo Tian Song was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he thought of another possibility, and hastily asked: "The Mo of the Mo Road?"

  The woman nodded: "That's right."

  Mo Tian Ge stared at her, finally finding some familiar marks on her face. It turned out that this was not a person from the Ye family, but rather someone who had lived in the Mo family for ten years. With an uncertain expression, she hesitantly opened her mouth: "Tian Qiao?"

  The other party was shocked. Looking at her in extreme astonishment, both because of his own name and because of her sudden change in tone.

  Judging from her reaction, Mo Tian Ge knew he was right. After a long time, she calmed down and waved her hand to dispel the illusion technique, then lifted her hand again to wipe off the disguise on her face. From the opponent's shocked expression, it could be seen that they had already discovered the similarity in their facial features.

  The girl's face turned white and then red, trembling with excitement: "You are... you are Tian Ge?!"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded. He let out a sigh: "Tian Qiao, I didn't think we'd meet again."

  Mò Tiān quickly covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. After a long while, she suddenly rushed up: "Tiān Gē, is it really you?"

  Mo Tian Ge supported her, speaking warmly: "It's really me. Don't cry, we've finally met again after so long, we should be happy instead."

  "Alright." Mo Tianqiao hastily wiped away the tears on his face, then went to close the door. "Wait a minute, I'll lock up the shop and we can talk in the back."

  Mò Tiān Gē nodded, closed her eyes to calm down, and although she wasn't as excited as Tiān Qiǎo, the moment she got the answer, she was still very happy. After arriving at Kūn Wú, following her second uncle wandering around, she gradually realized that she couldn't go back, and everything in the mundane world had to be let go of. If there was anything left in that home that she missed, it would be Tiān Qiǎo; she had also silently grieved, thinking that from then on, she would never see Tiān Qiǎo again. But unexpectedly, the two actually met again, and it was this kind of meeting.

  Following Tian Qiao back to the inner room, Mo Tian Ge took a look around. Behind this house was a small courtyard, which was laid out very neatly, but it could also be seen that their days were not going well.

  Mò Tiān Qiǎo had already wiped away her tears and was sizing up Mò Tiān Gē's appearance, but she was shocked: "Tiān Gē, why are you dressed like this?"

  Mó Tiān Gē (Heavenly Sky Song) smiled wryly: "No way, the Immortal Realm is just like the mundane world, it's still more convenient to be a man. You go first, how did you end up in Kūn Wú and... marry an immortal cultivator?" She still remembered that her elder aunt had raised Tiān Qiǎo (Heavenly Cleverness) as a talented young lady, hoping to marry her into a wealthy and noble family, and she had always thought that Tiān Qiǎo would do so.

  Mo Tian smiled cleverly and let out a soft sigh.

  Originally, when Tian Tian was taken away by the immortal, Tian Qiao learned about this world and was full of curiosity. When she was 16 years old, her family had arranged a marriage for her with the young master of a wealthy family in Fei Yun Town. Tian Qiao was very dissatisfied with this marriage because the young master she was to marry was a spoiled brat who didn't love reading books, couldn't do business, and liked to steal kisses. Her resistance was ineffective, so she secretly ran out of Mo Village, only to unexpectedly meet a passing monk.

  Out of reverence for the immortal, and also because Tianqiao refused to agree to that marriage, after this cultivator resolved the conflict over the broken engagement, his family eventually gave their blessing. Not long after, when this cultivator was about to leave Mojia Village, Tianqiao had always been yearning for the world of cultivation, so she followed him together.

  After hearing this, Tian Tian Ge fell silent. Tian Qiao was never a woman who would accept things as they came, so it wasn't strange that she would resist marriage. What was strange was how Tian Qiao had become like this now?

  "Does he treat you well?"

  Tian Qiao slowly came back to her senses and said, "At first, he treated me really well... We had been drifting in the mortal world for several years before arriving at Kunwu. His father was also a cultivator, but he died unexpectedly in a battle of magic. After arriving at Kunwu, we relied on his family's inherited skills to open a small shop here. Perhaps life was too dull, or perhaps cultivation was too difficult, and gradually...".

  Although it is so, Mo Tian Ge couldn't understand how a dull life could change Tian Qiao into what she is today. She had never thought that this gentle and obedient woman would be the same Tian Qiao who used to love playing and laughing.

  Moyuan forced a smile and said to her, "Don't just talk about me, what about you? Your cultivation is very strong now, right? You came yesterday, and husband said that your cultivation has surpassed his."

  Mó Tiān Gē said: "I've already cultivated my Qi to perfection, but I haven't had the chance to lay my foundation. This time, I'm out traveling to see if there are any opportunities." She wasn't telling the truth, not because she was trying to deceive Heaven, but because she was hiding it from her husband. For now, it's better to be cautious since that person is still unclear.

  These things, Mo Tianqiao didn't quite understand, so he asked: "Then how have you spent these years?"

  "That year, I left Mo Jia Village and that person took me to my Second Uncle. Later, I followed Second Uncle everywhere. A few years ago, we finally settled down in one place and I entered the sect. Because my father had left some things for me, I was lucky enough to cultivate until I achieved Qi Completion...” He roughly told the story of all these years, glossing over some difficult-to-explain matters.

  To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Tianqiao's husband. Many things were left unsaid. Tianqiao used to be lively and vivacious, but now she was so gentle and subdued, working hard to manage the small shop, lowering her posture to entertain customers... If she hadn't confirmed that this was really Tianqiao, she wouldn't have believed it. But Tianqiao's demeanor was so calm, even if she felt wronged in her heart, she seemed willing to accept it. She didn't understand, could love really change a person?

  Thanks for the reward from Lidian ~ almost missed it.
