With a new Immortal's Cave, Mo Tiange moved again.
Fortunately, she didn't have many things. The important things were either in her Qiankun Bag or in the Virtual Sky World. She simply packed up her usual belongings and moved to Lord Daoist Xuanyin's original Immortal's Cave without moving the tables and chairs.
When she first came to Clear Spring Peak, she lived in the small Immortal's Cave next to Lord Daoist Xuanyin's. That was the first decent Immortal's Cave she lived in.
Now, she returned to her hometown as the master of the main Immortal's Cave.
Lord Daoist Xuanyin moved to Sweet Dew Peak a long time ago, and all his disciples also moved away. Such a large Immortal's Cave now belonged to her alone.
Although she knew Xuanqing School, as a big cultivation group in the Celestial Pole, treated high level cultivators very generously, giving her an Immortal's Cave of this size to a cultivator who'd just formed her Gold Core … Mo Tiange knew this was because Lord Daoist Jinghe loved her so much.
Thinking up to this point, she smiled.
How fortunate was her life? Although she lost a lot of things, she also obtained a lot of equally precious things.
After advancing to the Core Formation realm, because she didn't have any disciples for the time being, the steward's hall asked her and sent several Foundation Building disciples to tidy up her Immortal's Cave. If she didn't mind, she could stay and continue to handle chores.
In Xuanqing School, if a Foundation Building cultivator wasn't an elite disciple, the disciple's rations were far from enough for their cultivation, so they usually sought some errands.
Even for elite disciples, if their master's status wasn't high and they didn't receive many rewards, the disciple's rations wouldn't be enough for their cultivation.
When Mo Tiange first entered Xuanqing School, she was brought back by Lord Daoist Jinghe's beloved disciple, Master Daoist Shoujing. She was also accepted as his registered disciple and was taught by Master Daoist Xuanyin, so she never had to worry about spirit stones.
But ordinary elite disciples weren't so lucky. Luo Fengxue had errands in the steward's hall and was favored by her master, so she had a lot of spirit stones. Ye Jingwen would occasionally take errands to earn some spirit stones for his cultivation. This was also the case when he was ordered to go to the secular world to bring her back to Xuanqing School.
For Foundation Building disciples, the best job was to enter the steward's hall and become a steward. Not only did they have a bit of authority, but they also had a stable income of spirit stones. However, the downside was that they couldn't go into closed-door cultivation for long periods of time, which would affect their cultivation.
The only thing they lacked was handling some chores for the school. There were some things that the Aura Refining disciples didn't feel at ease handing over to them if their cultivation levels were low, so they, the Foundation Building disciples, would have to handle them. If they wanted to enter Closed Door Meditation, they only needed to ask for a leave of absence or entrust it to someone else.
The downside was that there wouldn't be too many spirit stones and it wasn't stable.
There was another job that was both good and bad, and that was to help Core Formation cultivators.
To say that it was good was even better than the first method. He could meet a Core Formation cultivator, and if he did well, he might even be rewarded.
How could a Core Formation cultivator be so easy to serve?
If they encountered one or two with a bad temper, not only would they torment them, but they would also deduct their spirit stones.
Moreover, generally speaking, Core Formation cultivators all had disciples under them. They would let their disciples do all the good work, leaving them with only some menial tasks.
However, for a Core Formation cultivator like Mo Tiange who had just formed her Gold Core, didn't have any disciples, had an extraordinary identity, and had Lord Daoist Jinghe as her backer, working for her was a very good job.
She had just formed her Gold Core and didn't have any disciples, so she wouldn't be too picky. They also had good jobs. With a backer, they were confident and generous when it came to rewards.
However, just like Martial Uncle Shoujing in the past, the current Martial Uncle Qingwei's Immortal's Cave wasn't that easy to enter. One had to have some connections in the steward's hall to be recommended.
Mo Tiange looked at the cultivators recommended by the steward's hall. Sure enough, most of them were disciples of her senior martial brothers and sisters, and a small portion also had some connections, which gave her a bit of a headache.
She thought about it. Back then, Senior Martial Brother Shoujing didn't seem to like other people entering his Immortal's Cave, so when he needed disciples to handle chores, he just picked a few from his senior martial brothers and sisters' disciples.
However, she didn't have that kind of obsession with cleanliness. Although she also didn't like noise, her Immortal's Cave was very big, so it wouldn't be good if there was no one to manage it.
It was just that it was really hard for her to handle so many people. She didn't know who had connections and whether it would matter if she refused them.
Therefore, Mo Tiange sent a Summoning Talisman to ask Luo Fengxue. Luo Fengxue had seen this kind of thing a lot, so she should be able to give her some good advice.
Before long, Luo Fengxue replied: "If you don't like it, just refuse. You don't have to worry about offending others. You're grandmaster's official disciple now and you've advanced to the Core Formation realm, so the martial uncles won't blame you for this.
If you're too lazy to deal with it, just list out the chores and hand them over to the steward's hall. The steward's hall will take good care of them for you. "
Mo Tiange suddenly saw the light.
Right! Now that she formed her Gold Core, she wasn't only Lord Daoist Jinghe's disciple, but she was also an elder at Xuanqing School. Why should she be afraid of offending others?
Those senior martial brothers and sisters definitely wouldn't blame her for a few little disciples, and the steward's hall should also try to please her. If she told them something, they definitely wouldn't dare to neglect it.
With a plan in mind, Mo Tiange listed out the chores she needed to deal with and handed them to the steward's hall steward. She told him which ones needed Foundation Building disciples and which ones didn't need to be restricted by their cultivation levels. As for the selection of people and the cost of spirit stones, she left them all to the steward. She also told him that she didn't like being disturbed by others and that there should be as few people as possible.
The steward accepted her orders and left. Sure enough, he handled everything properly. Mo Tiange was delighted and rewarded him with a lot of things.
Coincidentally, she entered the Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation before she formed her Gold Core and obtained a lot of spiritual plants. When she was in a coma, those spiritual plants were handed over by Ye Zhenji. She was lucky, so the rewards for those spiritual plants were very generous.
Later, when she woke up, she wanted to just leave them to Zhenji, but Zhenji firmly refused. He said he already had a share for his master's disciple and that his aunt was only in the Foundation Building realm, so she shouldn't take so many things from him.
Mo Tiange gave it some thought and gave up. These spiritual plants had always been kept in her Qiankun Bag, so she could use them to reward these disciples.
Seeing that she was really generous, these disciples who came to do chores became even more diligent.
As she thought about Ye Zhenji, Mo Tiange sat in her new Immortal's Cave in a daze for a while.
When she and Qin Xi were both in Closed Door Meditation, Ye Zhenji went down the mountain by himself. He said his cultivation level had already reached the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Building realm, but his mental state wasn't experienced enough, so he should go out and gain experience.
In the end, he still had a master now, and Qin Xi didn't object, so Mo Tiange didn't say anything and let him go.
Besides, Zhenji really didn't have enough experience, so it wouldn't be good to keep him by her side all the time.
She thought about it. Although her cultivation path could be considered smooth since she came to Xuanqing School, how many things had she experienced in her childhood?
She had long cultivated her firm and courageous character.
Zhenji, however, wasn't like that. His cultivation path was too smooth, so he practically didn't have any mental state experience. If he didn't go out and gain experience, he wouldn't be able to grow.
Later on, during her sixteen-year Closed Door Meditation, Zhenji came back once. At that time, she was still in Closed Door Meditation, and Qin Xi was also in Closed Door Meditation. Zhenji stayed for two years before he left the mountain again.
This time, he still hadn't come back. After careful calculation, he hadn't come back for eight years.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but feel a bit worried. There hadn't been any news from Zhenji for eight years. Did something happen to him?
He did leave his blood essence and kept it with Qin Xi, but Qin Xi didn't say anything, so presumably, he was fine.
But where did Zhenji go in the end?
He clearly knew she was going to form her Gold Core soon, but he unexpectedly didn't come back for eight years — this was too unusual.
With this thought in mind, Mo Tiange sent a Summoning Talisman to the steward's hall, asking them to find Ye Zhenji's whereabouts. Maybe this child was trapped somewhere and needed help.
Aside from the Immortal's Cave and Zhenji, there was another matter that gave Mo Tiange a headache.
She advanced to the Core Formation realm at the age of eighty-four, which once again caused a sensation in west Kunwu. Many cultivators from other cultivation groups came to congratulate her. If she refused to meet them, she'd be putting on airs. But if she met them, she really couldn't stand these social interactions.
In the end, it was Luo Fengxue who gave her a suggestion. "Martial Uncle Shoujing was also like this when he formed his Gold Core. He used stabilizing his realm as an excuse to enter Closed Door Meditation and let the steward's disciples handle it.
No one can say anything about this reason, so you might as well do it. "
Mo Tiange suddenly understood.
Yes, after a cultivator advanced, the most important thing was to stabilize their realm. If she said that, other people couldn't blame her.
After she told the steward's disciples what Luo Fengxue said, Mo Tiange obediently stayed in her room. This was to avoid these troubles and also because she really needed to stabilize her realm.
After advancing to the Core Formation realm, Mo Tiange could now openly take out two Foundation Building puppets.
With her identity as a Core Formation cultivator and with Lord Daoist Jinghe as her backer, having two Foundation Building puppets would only surprise people a little.
In addition, in addition to stabilizing her realm, there was another very important matter — it was time for her to refine her natal magic weapon.
She had already given the refining formula for the Heaven and Earth Fan to Lord Daoist Jinghe for evaluation. Lord Daoist Jinghe was full of praise for this magic weapon formula. When he learned it was created by a female cultivator several thousand years ago, he was even more fascinated. Thinking back to that era, he wished he could go back and have a chat with Primordial Lady Bishui.
Mo Tiange didn't mention that Primordial Lady Bishui was her ancestor, Mo Yaoqing. She only briefly mentioned what happened in Linhai and focused on Ren Yufeng. She also gave the stone tablet she obtained from Ren Yufeng to Lord Daoist Jinghe to study.
Since Lord Daoist Jinghe praised this Heaven and Earth Fan so much, Mo Tiange planned to refine it as her natal magic weapon.
These materials were hard to find in Linhai, but it wasn't impossible in the Celestial Pole.
There were a few materials that were hard to find, so she had to spend a lot of money. Coupled with her connections in Xuanqing School, there was still hope, so Lord Daoist Jinghe didn't object.
Mo Tiange asked Lord Daoist Jinghe about some materials she didn't know about and informed the steward's hall to spread the news and try to find them.
Among them, the most difficult to find were Chalcedony over a thousand years old and a piece of Qiyun Stone. Although the other supplementary materials were few, as long as she offered a high price, there was still hope. These two things, on the other hand, could only be found by chance.
Among them, Mo Tiange didn't know what Qiyun Stone was. When she asked Lord Daoist Jinghe, he only said he read about it in ancient books and never saw it in reality.
For this reason, Mo Tiange specially told the steward's hall that if there was a Qiyun Stone, they should buy it no matter the price.
In any case, with her current net worth, she could afford the Heaven Realm ordinary people talked about. Even if she really didn't have enough spirit stones, she still had a master behind her!
After advancing to the Core Formation realm, in addition to refining her natal magic weapon, she also had to change cultivation techniques for the Core Formation realm and take spiritual herbs for the Core Formation realm.
But Mo Tiange didn't need to worry about this. The Taiyuan Record Zhong Muling gave her could be practiced until the Deification realm, and the Sunu Art of the Origin could also be practiced until the Nascent Soul realm.
Zhong Muling once said that if she practiced the Sunu Art of the Origin and entered the Deification realm, she could naturally create her own cultivation technique according to her own unique conditions, so she didn't need to worry about cultivation techniques.
Needless to say, she didn't even need to concoct spiritual herbs in the short term. Originally, she concocted a lot of Soul-Solidifying Pills and Clear Sky Pills to practice. In addition, after she formed her Gold Core, the school would reward her with a lot of medicinal pills and spirit stones, which would at least allow her to practice in Closed Door Meditation for several years without worrying about medicinal pills.
Therefore, in the following time, she continued to cultivate and stabilize her realm while waiting for news about the materials for the Heaven and Earth Fan.
Of course, she could also collect magic weapons. After all, a Core Formation cultivator's ability in fights of magical power depended on magic weapons.
