Her room wasnât large. A low bed had been placed in the corner of the room and a straw mat, as well as a cattail hassock 1 , had been placed on top of it. There was also a wooden table and chair, but aside from this, there was nothing else in the room.
However, in the end, this was a cultivation sect, so even the straw mat and the wooden table had a faint spiritual aura. They obviously werenât items of the secular world.
Having calmed down, Mo Tiange took out all kind of things like bedding and such from her Qiankun Bag and started arranging them in the room. Although she didnât really need to rest, having a quilt would make her feel warmer.
Once she tidied everything up, she finally examined the things she received.
This Qiankun Bag was the most common one in the cultivation world. It was far inferior to the one she had. After all, her Qiankun Bag was something that came from Ye Clanâs collection; it wasnât some sort of common good.
There also werenât many things inside it. Inside were only a jade tablet, a cultivation technique manual, two bottles of medicinal pills, twenty spirit stones, and a Jade Slip known as Yunwu Sectâs Book that recorded the rules of the sect and things they needed to pay attention to.
The jade tablet was an identity tablet. Long ago, she saw Ye Jingwen using a similar object. All cultivation groups used this object to verify their disciplesâ identities. The personâs name, age, cultivation level, and so on, were engraved on the jade tablet. At the same time, a copy of it was kept by the cultivation group. If a missing disciple came back, these would be used to verify the discipleâs identity.
Yunwu Sectâs cultivation technique manual for Aura Refining disciples was assigned according to the five elements attribute registered on the identity tablet. For example, since during the Immortals Assembly, Mo Tiange registered that she practiced cultivation techniques with wood attributes, the one she was given was the wood element cultivation technique.
This manual was called the Art of Long Life. It was the most common basic cultivation technique in the cultivation world. Nevertheless, the one she had was a slightly more complete version of the manuals circulating outside and had a few notes from the seniors of previous generations.
In addition to these, there were twenty spirit stones and two bottles of medicinal pills. These were rewards from the Immortals Assembly. In the future, spirit stones and medicinal pills would be distributed each month according to disciplesâ rations.
Getting these two bottles of medicinal pills actually made her very happy. Based on the spiritual roots she had, a good cultivation technique, the Spirit-Gathering Pearls, and the Spirit-Gathering Formation would only ensure that she wouldnât fall behind ordinary cultivators with three spiritual roots. If she wanted to rise above others, medicinal pills were absolutely necessary.
Today, she chose to have a good sleep instead of cultivating.
At the crack of dawn, she woke up completely energized. When she left her room, the small sitting room was still empty and quiet. She could sense other cultivatorsâ breaths in other rooms; presumably, everyone was still cultivating. Hence, she locked the door of her room and went out to freshen up.
Yunwu Sectâs Book stated that in this bamboo residence, there was a small stream at the back of the houses. The sect drew water from this small stream and made a pool so the disciples could use it to wash.
After she walked around to the back of the house, she saw that there was indeed a pool. At this moment, no one else was there. She took a handkerchief and began washing her face. However, she naturally didnât comb her hair; she would comb it slowly after she returned to her room. When she was done washing her face and was about to head back, she came across two people who were coming her way while chatting. Mo Tiange promptly greeted them: âGood morning, Senior Martial Brothers.â
The two of them saw her and also gave a short greeting. After that, they continued chatting and looked for a place to wash.
In the next second, however, Mo Tiange instantly had an urge to vomit! One of the men had shamelessly shed his clothes and jumped into the pool! Seeing that personâs fat body then recalling that she used this water to wash her face and rinse her mouth⊠absolutely disgusting⊠Thus, she made up her mindânext time, Iâll definitely go upstream for water!
When she returned to the house, Xu Jingzhi had just pulled Qin Xi over to chat. Qin Xiâs expression was rigid and obviously wasnât at all interested in chatting.
Right after Xu Jingzhi saw her, he cheerfully called her, âJunior Martial Brother Ye, youâre up very early.â
âGood morning, Senior Martial Brothers.â Mo Tiange walked towards them and asked with a smile, âSenior Martial Brothers, what are you two chatting about?â
Xu Jingzhi said, âWeâre just talking about going to eat breakfast and strolling around the sect while weâre at it to learn a bit about the situation here.â
âOh⊠I seeâŠâ
Xu Jingzhi was very excited, but Qin Xi, although he didnât refuse Xu Jingzhi directly, obviously wasnât too interested in it. After all, no cultivator liked to be infected by the smell of food. Although they couldnât abstain from eating, under normal circumstances, most of them preferred to eat Fasting Pills. After pondering the matter, Mo Tiange smiled and said, âIâll go with you. I feel a bit hungry too.â
Xu Jingzhi was very happy. At this moment, the other roomâs door was opened and Liu Yidao came out. He stared at them and asked, âJunior Martial Brothers, what are you chatting about?â
âSenior Martial Brother Liu, weâre talking about going to the dining hall to eat something and strolling around.â
Liu Yidao pondered it for a while. He then said, âYou donât mind if I go with you, right?â
Xu Jingzhi waved his hand. âOf course not. Iâm very excited that Senior Martial Brother Liu wants to join us.â
Liu Yidao laughed. âSince all four of us are going, we might as well call Junior Martial Brother Jiang out.â
Xu Jingzhi certainly didnât object. As for Mo Tiange, she didnât really care. It would naturally be good for her if she could get along well with these senior martial brothers who were also her housemates. On the other hand, Qin Xi still had that wooden expression on his face; no one knew what he was thinking about.
Liu Yidao knocked on Jiang Shanghangâs door. âJunior Martial Brother Jiang.â
After a while, the door was opened. Jiang Shanghang unlocked the deadbolt and was staring at Liu Yidao standing on his doorstep. His tone was faint, but there was still a trace of gloominess inside as he said, âSenior Martial Brother Liu, is there a problem?â
Liu Yidao smiled and said, âJunior Martial Brother Jiang, all of us decided to go to the dining hall and eat a few things before strolling around. Do you want to go with us?â
Jiang Shanghang frowned and said, âI donât.â
Liu Yidao was rather stunned. He hadnât expected this person to be this cold; it was as if he didnât want to get close to the rest of them. Thus, he instantly gave up and said with a smile, âAs you wish. Weâll go first.â
Jiang Shanghang uttered an âenâ before closing his door in Liu Yidaoâs face.
Liu Yidao didnât take any offense and just turned around to say to everyone, âLetâs go.â
Mo Tiange and Xu Jingzhi glanced at each other, shook their heads and followed Liu Yidao out.
They hadnât walked too far when Xu Jingzhi stealthily said to Mo Tiange, âThis Senior Martial Brother Jiang â he also comes from one of Yunwu Sectâs cultivation clans. I heard heâs treated like an abandoned child by his clan. His chance to enter the sect was given to his cousin, but he was unreconciled and willing to risk his life to participate in the Immortals Assembly.â
âOhâŠâ Mo Tiange finally understood. Presumably, this personâs heart was filled with ambition, so he simply didnât want to waste his time on things other than cultivating.

âJunior Martial Brother Jiang has reached the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm even though he isnât thirty years old yet. People like him could be considered very rare, yet their clan actually abandoned this kind of child?â Liu Yidao heard them gossiping and had come over.
Xu Jingzhi was also someone who came from a cultivation clan and knew a lot about matters like this. He said, âSenior Martial Brother Liu, you must be unaware of this; their Jiang Clan is one of the best cultivation clans under Yunwu Sect. There are two Core Formation and several dozen Foundation Building cultivators in their clan. They basically donât care about children who have more than three spiritual roots. Moreover, I heard Senior Martial Brother Jiang used to have an elder; but because of a power struggle inside the clan, this elder offended the current Clan Master. After the elder passed away, Senior Martial Brother Jiang had to bear the brunt and became the target of their anger.â
Except for Xu Jingzhi, everyone else here was previously an individual cultivator. They couldnât imagine what the power struggle in a cultivation clan felt like and could only shake their heads. Liu Yidao sighed. âAlthough Junior Martial Brother Jiangâs spiritual roots arenât the best, heâs very hardworking in his cultivation. If he has the clanâs support, he would most likely be able to enter the Foundation Building realm. What a pityâŠâ
Xu Jingzhi also shook his head. âAlas⊠According to Jiang Clanâs power, they can recommend several children to enter the sect each year. Those children can directly enter the sect without having to cultivate until they reach the tenth layer or participate in the so-called Immortals Assembly. Theyâre the complete opposite of my Xu Clan. Weâre only a small cultivation clan and the slots to enter the sect given to us very few, so we have to participate in the Immortals Assembly.â
Several people were all lamenting in their heart. Living as individual cultivators was hard, but being members of a cultivation clan wasnât without its problems; each had their own difficulties. In the end, there was only one conclusion:Â the Immortalâs Path was hard ah~~~
