Since no Foundation Building cultivators came to discuss Dao, the Dao meeting ended.
Nevertheless, everyone was satisfied.
On her way back, Mo Tiange was still thinking about what the Tiandao Sect cultivators said.
In fact, there were only two points: one was to purify her spiritual aura as much as possible, and the second was to calm her mind so that she could easily meditate before building her foundation.
Although Tiandao Sect's summary of foundation-building experience wasn't limited to these two points, it was better than nothing. If she could gather more information about foundation-building, she'd have more confidence in building her foundation.
A calm mind was easy to handle. Mo Tiange originally came out to travel because she was pressed for time, so she was flustered. Presumably, she'd be fine after a while.
The first question made her a bit embarrassed.
Because the spiritual aura in her body had undergone a special change, she didn't dare to cultivate. She could only wait until she went back and asked Second Uncle.
After returning to the inn full of worries, she suddenly remembered she hadn't asked about yesterday's matter. Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly saw a figure going upstairs, so she hurriedly went back to her room.
It was a somewhat ear-piercing male voice with an oily tone that made people feel uncomfortable. "Today, we finally have a place to stay. We don't have to sleep in the open."
Someone immediately said, "Senior Martial Brother Jiang, you can stay in this room. It's comfortable."
The oily male voice seemed to size up the room and said with satisfaction, "The inn in this small place isn't bad. All right, quickly choose and serve some good wine and dishes."
Soon after, the waiter said, "Yes, yes. Master Immortals, please choose as you please."
After that, she heard the sound of the door closing. They must've entered the room. Mo Tiange thought for a moment but didn't release her divine sense.
The person she saw was the one called Senior Martial Brother Jiang. He seemed to be Jiang Shanghang's cousin, Jiang Chengxian.
Jiang Chengxian was really lucky. During the last Foundation-Building Pill test, people from Zixia Sect and fellow disciples from Yunwu Sect wanted to kill him, but he still managed to escape alive.
Moreover, it was said that the current master of Mount Yunwu had already prepared everything for him to build his foundation.
However, it was really strange. Why did Jiang Chengxian come out when he was about to build his foundation?
She quietly opened the door. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor outside, she cast an Illusory Transformation Technique and left the inn.
She walked into the same shop as last time. The shopkeeper was still that beautiful mortal woman. Upon seeing her, she greeted her enthusiastically, "Immortal Master, what would you like to buy?"
Mo Tiange took the form of an ordinary-looking youth. She lowered her voice and asked, "What do you have here?"
His tone was quite unkind, but the woman didn't say anything. She continued to introduce enthusiastically, "Our shop has all kinds of ordinary things. The best are talisman paper and talisman brushes."
"Oh?
Let me have a look. "
The woman took out a pile of talisman papers and various colored talisman brushes and placed them on the counter. "Please feel free to take a look."
Mo Tiange glanced at her then said calmly, "You don't seem to be that great!"
The woman still smiled and said, "Of course, it's nothing special. However, the craftsmanship of making talisman paper and talisman brush is passed down in my husband's family. I don't see such good quality and cheap goods in other shops."
"So, the things in your shop are very cheap?"
The woman said, "Immortal Master is not from here, right?
A small shop like ours indeed can't compare to a big shop. We rely on low prices to keep a foothold. Otherwise, if everyone went to a big shop with a full range of goods and top-quality goods, our shop wouldn't be able to continue operating. "
Mo Tiange naturally understood this. Back then, she also opened a shop with her uncle. Their small shop couldn't compete with the big shops, but many small cultivators still came because they didn't have much money and couldn't afford to buy things from the big shops.
The big shops also didn't bother to compete with the small shop for this small amount of money, so the small shop could survive.
Later, they were bullied because Second Uncle was, after all, a Foundation Building cultivator. He also had some wealth, so his collection was very complete. He also had some top-quality Aura Refining goods, so he began to compete with the big shops for customers.
Mo Tiange pretended to be skeptical. "Is that so?"
The woman said, "Immortal Master, take a look. These talisman papers are made from a mixture of Wenxing Bamboo and demonic beast blood. Wenxing Bamboo is hard, so the paper it makes is airtight. It's not inferior to top-quality talisman papers.
As for this talisman brush, it's made from the fur of a Bloodfrost Wolf. Each strand is carefully selected.
All of these were hunted by my husband, so I guarantee they're genuine. "
Mo Tiange took a look, but for a moment, she didn't say whether she wanted it or not. Instead, she started to size up the other things in the shop. She pretended to be careless and asked, "You said this is a craftsmanship passed down in your husband's family, so you're also from a cultivation clan. Why does your shop look so shabby?"
The woman's smile froze for a moment, but she immediately smiled and said, "A small clan naturally can't open a big shop.
Immortal Master, please take a look. If you need anything, just call me directly. "
As she spoke, Mo Tiange secretly sized her up many times. The more she looked, the more she felt they resembled each other.
From her probing, she could tell that this husband and wife didn't have any backing. That being the case, she didn't care about a fifth layer Aura Refining cultivator.
"I have something to ask Madam." The woman was still smiling, so Mo Tiange asked, "May I know Madam's name?"
Once she said that, the woman suddenly looked nervous. She took a step back, and her face turned green and white.
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Madam, don't be afraid. I don't have any ulterior motives."
Although she explained it this way, she was now dressed like a man and was also a cultivator. It would be strange if the woman wasn't afraid if she suddenly asked for her name.
Seeing that the woman was still hesitating, Mo Tiange released her spiritual aura pressure. The woman was only a mortal, so how could she withstand it? She retreated several steps and leaned against the wall. In the end, she gave in and said, "My … surname is Mo."
Mo Tiange was dumbfounded. After a long time, she thought of another possibility and anxiously asked, "Mo as in 'stranger'?"
The woman nodded. "Yes."
Mo Tiange stared fixedly at her. Finally, she found some traces of the past on the woman's face.
As it turned out, this woman wasn't a member of Ye Clan, but rather the Mo Clan where she lived for ten years.
Mo Tiange's expression was uncertain. In the end, she said tentatively, "Tianqiao?"
The woman was shocked. She stared at Mo Tiange with great astonishment, both because of her name and because of the sudden change in her voice.
Upon seeing her reaction, Mo Tiange knew she guessed correctly.
After a long time, she finally calmed down. With a wave of her hand, she withdrew the Shapeshifting Technique and wiped off the disguise on her face.
From the woman's shocked expression, Mo Tiange could tell that the two of them had similar appearances.
The woman's face turned pale and then red. She was extremely excited. "You're … You're Tiange?!"
Mo Tiange nodded and sighed. "Tianqiao, I didn't expect we'd meet again."
Mo Tianqiao covered her mouth. Tears streamed down her cheeks. After a long time, she suddenly threw herself at Mo Tiange. "Tiange, is it really you?"
Mo Tiange supported her and said warmly, "It's really me.
Don't cry. It's not easy for us to meet again. You should be happy. "
"Yes, yes."
Mo Tianqiao hastily wiped the tears off her face and went to close the door. "Wait a moment. I'll close the shop first. Let's talk in the back."
Mo Tiange nodded then closed her eyes to calm herself down. Although she wasn't as excited as Tianqiao, she was still very happy when she got the answer.
Not long after she arrived in Kunwu, she followed Second Uncle to wander around. Gradually, she realized she couldn't go back and had to give up everything in the secular world.
If there was anything she was reluctant to leave in that family, it would be Tianqiao. She also felt sad in silence, thinking she would never see Tianqiao again.
But she never expected the two of them would meet again, and it would be like this.
Mo Tiange followed Tianqiao back to the inner room and looked around.
There was a small courtyard behind the house. It was very neat and tidy, but it could also be seen that they didn't have a good life.
Mo Tianqiao, who had already wiped her tears, looked at Mo Tiange's appearance and said in amazement, "Tiange, why are you dressed like this?"
Mo Tiange smiled bitterly. "It can't be helped. The cultivation world is the same as the secular world. It's more convenient to be a man.
First, tell me, how did you come to Kunwu? And … you even married a cultivator. "
She still remembered that Eldest Aunt raised Tianqiao like a daughter from a noble family and wanted her to marry into a wealthy family. She also always thought Tianqiao would be like that.
Mo Tianqiao smiled then sighed softly.
As it turned out, when Mo Tiange was taken away by an immortal, Tianqiao learned about this world and was full of curiosity about it.
When she was sixteen years old, her family arranged a marriage for her to the young master of a rich family in Feiyun Town.
Tianqiao was originally very dissatisfied with this marriage because the young master she was going to marry was simply a hedonistic son of a rich family. He didn't like to study, didn't know how to do business, and liked to have illicit affairs.
Her resistance was futile, so she secretly ran out of the Mo Family's Village. Unexpectedly, she unexpectedly ran into a passing cultivator.
Because of their reverence for immortals and because Tianqiao vowed to never agree to the marriage, after the cultivator resolved the conflict, her family finally agreed to let them be.
Soon after, the cultivator was about to leave the Mo Family's Village. Tianqiao, who originally yearned for the cultivation world very much, left with him.
After listening to this, Mo Tiange was silent.
Tianqiao wasn't a woman who meekly accepted adversity, so it wasn't strange for her to resist the marriage. What was strange was … How did Tianqiao become like this?
She couldn't help but ask, "Was he good to you?"
Tianqiao was lost in thought for a while before she said, "In the beginning, he treated me really well … We wandered in the secular world for several years before we arrived in Kunwu.
His father was also a cultivator, but he died in an accident during a fight of magical powers.
When we arrived in Kunwu, we relied on the craftsmanship passed down in his family to open a small shop here.
Maybe it was because life was too dull, or maybe it was because cultivation was too difficult, but it gradually faded away … "
Although this was the case, Mo Tiange still didn't understand. Could a dull life turn Tianqiao into what she was today?
She never thought this gentle woman would be the Tianqiao who loved to play and laugh in the past.
Mo Tianqiao forced a smile and said, "Don't just talk about me. What about you?
Your cultivation level is very high now, right?
When you came yesterday, my husband said your cultivation level was much higher than his. "
Mo Tiange said, "I'm already in the peak stage of the Aura Refining realm, but I don't have a chance to build my foundation. This time, I came out to travel and see if there are any fated chances."
She didn't tell the truth, not because she wanted to hide it from Tianqiao, but because she wanted to hide it from her husband. Right now, she still couldn't figure out that person, so it was better to be a bit more careful.
Mo Tianqiao didn't really understand these things, so she asked, "Then how have you been all these years?"
"When I left the Mo Family's Village, that person took me to find my second uncle. Later, I followed my second uncle and wandered everywhere.
A few years ago, we finally settled down in a place and I also entered a cultivation group.
Because my father left some things for me, I was lucky enough to cultivate to the peak stage of the Aura Refining realm … "Mo Tiange roughly recounted her experiences in the past few years, skipping over some things that were hard to explain.
To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Tianqiao's husband, so there were a lot of things she didn't tell him.
Tianqiao originally had a lively and jumpy personality, but now, she was so gentle and obedient, working hard to guard the small shop and humbling herself to entertain customers … If she hadn't confirmed that this was really Tianqiao, she wouldn't have believed it.
However, Tianqiao's expression was so calm. Even though she felt wronged in her heart, she did it willingly. Mo Tiange didn't understand. Could love really change a person?
