Meeting with the Sect Leader

  Out of the Bi Shui Xuan, the car and horse were already prepared outside. Mo Tian Ge got on the carriage. Luo Qian Shan saw him off: "Ye senior, I have sent someone to wait for you at the gate, just go ahead, there will be someone to receive you."

  Mo Tian Ge thanked him in the car: "Thanks for your trouble, Lord Luo, thank you."

  Luo Qianshan hastily returned a courtesy, afterwards, the coachman cracked his whip, the horse let out a loud whinny, and the carriage drove away.

  The stranger in the carriage lowered the curtain, closed his eyes and focused on his breath, taking advantage of the time the carriage was moving to meditate.

  She didn't bother to remember the route of the carriage, and so far, Bixuan Pavilion didn't seem to have any malicious intentions towards her. If not for good intentions, there was no need to send a carriage to pick her up at all. This worldly trick had no use other than showing caution.

  After entering a meditative state, half an hour quickly passed and the carriage came to a stop. The coachman, also a cultivator of internal energy, respectfully said from outside: "Elder Ye, we have arrived at our destination, please get off the carriage."

  The stranger opened his eyes and found someone had already lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Sir, please get off."

  But he was a handsome young man with a respectful attitude, dressed like a servant, seemingly an apprentice.

  The Sky Song descended and the car arrived. At a glance, I saw the nine-tiered jade steps leading up to the grand mountain gate, as well as two female cultivators waiting by the side.

  These two female cultivators of Qi Refining were different from the coachman and the young man who lifted the curtain. They had higher cultivation levels, one at the seventh level of Qi Refining and the other at the eighth level. Their demeanor was not humble in the slightest, their attire relatively luxurious, with the same sect emblem on the cuffs and collars of their robes.

  Mó Tiān Gē took a closer look and found that the attire of these two female cultivators was very similar to Yán Ruò Shū and the others from the Zǐ Wēi Dòng Fǔ. The emblem was also the same.

  Seeing her get off the carriage, the two female cultivators smiled and came forward: "Is the esteemed one Elder Ye? We are the welcoming disciples of Bi Xuan Pavilion, greetings to Elder Ye."

  Standing on the grounds of Bi Xuan Ge, Mo Tian Ge also returned a polite gesture: "Two ladies are too kind, I am Ye Xiao Tian."

  She keenly noticed that the two female cultivators seemed to be evaluating her, their eyes each taking a turn on her before exchanging a smile with each other, seemingly somewhat satisfied.

  One of them said, "The origin of Senior Ye, we have already reported to the sect's elder. The sect leader heard that another outside guest had arrived, and it was a Foundation Establishment period senior, so he specially ordered us to come and welcome you."

  "Oh?" Mo Tian Ge raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

  Another one continued: "The leader is waiting for you, senior, please follow us."

  "Does the sect leader want to see me?" Mo Tian Ge was surprised. At this moment, her cultivation was suppressed at the early stage of foundation building, and with the effect of Cang Ling Pei, even a Dan-stage cultivator would not notice anything unusual. However, she was an outsider, and her cultivation was only at the early stage of foundation building. Did a sect leader really need to meet with her?

  After some thought, she felt that there was no need for her to be nervous. Perhaps it was just because foreign cultivators were too rare and she was a female cultivator, so the master of Bi Xuan Pavilion had taken an interest in her.

  "It is." The female cultivator who welcomed the guests said, turning her head to glance at the young man who lifted the curtain, "Go and inform the master, the honored guest has arrived."

  Moye Song discovered that, whether it was Chefu or a young man, they were all very respectful in front of the two female cultivators. If she were in Kunwu, she would have thought that these two female cultivators had higher status, so they didn't dare to be slightly disrespectful. But she had already investigated clearly that Bixuan Pavilion valued female cultivators more, and noticed that in this Bixuan Pavilion, all those who did miscellaneous tasks or had low status were male cultivators.

  They instructed the young man to report, and the two female cultivators politely led Ye Tian Song: "Senior Ye, please."

  Mo Tian Ge nodded: "Thanks." And followed the two up the stairs.

  The mountain gate of Bi Xuan Ge is no different from the Kunwu Sect, and the spiritual vein is also very ordinary. Of course, it's also because her vision has broadened now. Taikang Mountain is a first-class spiritual mountain, and Bi Xuan Ge is just located in a corner, where can it compare to the top-notch spiritual veins of Kunwu?

  However, the Bi Xuan Ge may be lacking in grandeur, but it is extremely delicate. Upon ascending the jade steps and entering the mountain gate, one sees pavilions, towers, pools, and waterside kiosks, all of which are exquisitely crafted and elegant, with beautiful scenery that moves people's emotions. It seems that women have meticulous thoughts and clever hands, and their arrangement of scenic spots surpasses that of men.

  Following these two female cultivators, they walked for about half a cup of tea time before arriving at a large hall.

  The two guarding the temple gate were also female cultivators of the **layer cultivation. Seeing them approach, Fu bowed and said: "Two sisters, you've worked hard. Is this Elder Ye?"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded his head: "Exactly."

  The two of them smiled and said: "Elder Ye, the sect leader is already waiting for you, please enter."

  Mo Tian Ge nodded in thanks and stepped into the grand hall.

  As soon as she stepped into the grand hall, Mo Tian Ge was stunned.

  It's not that there's anything unusual about this grand hall, but rather the main seat in the hall is occupied by a female cultivator who has just reached the foundation-building stage. This female cultivator appears to be around 27 or 28 years old, dressed in luxurious attire, with a captivating charm, and at first glance, she seems to be a skilled dancer.

  The stranger's song still lingered in her mind, and the disciple of Bi Xuan Ge who had brought her here said that their leader was waiting for her, but why was there only this one Jijian female cultivator? For a moment, she didn't know how to start a conversation either.

  Fortunately, the female cultivator stood up as soon as she came in and smiled: "Are you Ye Dao's friend?"

  Although he was hesitant in his heart, Mo Tian Ge's face didn't show it. He raised his hand in greeting: "That's right, I'm Ye Xiao Tian, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

  She heard her introduce herself, and the woman also returned a courtesy, smiling and saying: "Leaf Daoist is too polite, my name is Wei Haolan. I am the leader of the Azure Pavilion."

  "Are you the master of Bi Xuan Pavilion?" Mo Tian Ge asked in surprise, blurting out her question. She had originally thought that since he was the master, he should be a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she couldn't understand why a Nascent Soul cultivator would want to see her, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

  As soon as he spoke, Mo Tian Ge immediately realized that he had been somewhat rude and hastily paid his respects again, "Sorry, Wei Zhang Men, I was impolite."

  Wei Hao Lan didn't mind. He smiled slightly and warmly helped her up: "I heard from the disciples under my gate that Ye Dao You is a senior disciple of our Tianji Dazongmen's Xuqing Gate, I suppose your vision is also extraordinary, but I didn't expect that our Bixuan Pavilion would actually have a foundation-building disciple as its leader? This isn't considered impolite."

  This Wei Zongmen was indeed warm and friendly, An Tian Ge secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Originally worried that the Bi Xuan Pavilion's influence was too great, they were used to being overbearing, it seemed that this Wei Zongmen was also an intelligent person, treating guests with sufficient respect.

  The two of them exchanged polite remarks for a while before Mo Tian Ge finally took his seat as the guest.

  Later, he came up with tea——still a low-priced male repair. It seems that this Bi Xuan Ge is really a female respect and male humility, Mo Tian Ge secretly thought, having seen those people in Kun Wu always treating female repairs as furnaces, it's really refreshing in Bi Xuan Ge.

  "Leaf Dao You." Xiang symbolically took a sip of tea, and Wei Hao Lan smiled at Mo Tian Ge, "It's been many years since we've had an outsider cultivator in Lin Hai City. I wonder what kind of extraordinary encounter Leaf Dao You has had, and how he ended up in our Lin Hai City?"

  Listening to the question, Meng Tian Ge put down his teacup and replied: "Not hiding from you, Master Wei, a few months ago, I followed my master's orders to leave the mountain and travel. Coincidentally, I met several fellow practitioners and went to a secret place to search for treasure. However, we didn't expect that while searching for treasure, the secret place suddenly collapsed. I'm not even clear what happened, but when I woke up, I was in Linhai."

  "Oh?" Wei Hao Lan was surprised, "It's actually like this?"

  "It's fine, as for how it came about, I'm not even clear myself, and there's no way to investigate further."

  Seeing her similarly worried expression, Wei Hao Lan smiled and said: "Yao Daoyou was able to keep his life and didn't suffer serious injuries, that's already a great fortune. I've been isolated from the world in Lin Hai for many years. Occasionally, there are some external cultivators who come here, but many of them have suffered severe injuries or even lost their lives. There's nothing strange about the things of this world; we're still just beginners on the path to immortality and can't understand some things yet!"

  "It's true." Why did she come to Linhai, she thought carefully, that Longyin's place changes its scenery every year. According to her guess, it is very likely that there is some kind of secret method hidden in it, which attracts a location to move to Longyin's place every year, and then changes again the next year. This time, she happened to be transferred to Linhai.

  Mo Tian Ge put down the matter and asked straightforwardly, "Wei Zong Men, I heard that Lin Hai City only has a transmission array of your sect to communicate with other places. Is that true?"

  "Not bad."

  A sudden joy, she stood up and raised her hand: "If so, I'd like to borrow your teleportation array for a moment, may I? Of course, I'll pay some compensation as the fee for using it."

  Upon hearing this, Wei Hao Lan did not immediately respond. Instead, he slowly and deliberately finished a sip of tea before smiling and saying, "Leaf Dao friend doesn't have to be so polite. This matter of lending the transmission array is worth discussing."

  It's said that it's a good idea, but after saying this sentence, Wei Hao Lan didn't continue and instead picked up the teacup again, continuing to sip tea slowly.

  Mochen Ge had taken over the affairs of Shangqing Palace a few years ago, and he roughly understood the ways of these social interactions. Seeing Wei Haolan's attitude, he had his own thoughts.

  It seems that Wei Hao Lan also has her own set of skills, treating people with kindness and closeness, but when it's time to use her cleverness, she doesn't hesitate. At this moment, she didn't speak because the transmission array was in her hands, and the initiative had always been in her control. Mo Tian Ge wanted to borrow the transmission array, so he had to set his own conditions, and only when they were satisfactory to her would she loosen up.

  Mo Tian Ge didn't rush, instead he learned from her and slowly sipped his tea for a while before putting down the cup. He said calmly: "Wei Zong Men, let's not beat around the bush. How about this? If your sect is willing to lend us the transmission array, I'll give you 1,000 spirit stones?"

  One thousand spirit stones, for ordinary foundation-building cultivators, is a large sum of money. Loose cultivators find it difficult to come up with this amount, and even sect disciples who are not good at saving money cannot afford it. After all, foundation-building cultivators have high expenses and expenditures.

  But Wei Hao Lan merely raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Ye Dao You indeed lives up to being a cultivator of a great sect, I wouldn't even dare take out 1,000 spirit stones!"

  That's what was said, but Mo Tian Ge also figured it out, and they weren't very satisfied.

  "She thought for a moment and said: 'One thousand five hundred spirit stones.'"

  Although the transmission array consumes a lot, opening it once usually only requires a few mid-grade spirit stones, which is enough for a few hundred spirit stones. With 1,500 spirit stones, you can earn at least 1,000 spirit stones.

  But Wei Hao Lan still shook his head and didn't speak, apparently not very satisfied with this price.
