This is the back mountain of Maoshan Sect.
When the Chaos Pearl flew over Maoshan Sect for the first time, Zhou Yuanyuan almost burst out laughing.
Maoshan Sect, Maoshan Sect, Zhou Yuanyuan had never seen such a straightforward sect.
The mountains within the Maoshan Sect were covered in thatch. Densely packed, in clumps and clusters, the grass covered the entire mountain, growing between the ridges, on the edge of the fields, and beside the streams.
The houses where the Maoshan monks lived were all thatched. Every room, every building, without exception. Even the main hall of the Maoshan sect's leader had bluestone walls and a thatched roof, looking both simple and... shabby.
Compared with the Yushan Sect, which was rich in gold and jade, Zhou Yuanyuan’s first impression of the Maoshan Sect was: “poor”.
Well! Zhou Yuanyuan admitted that her second impression of the Maoshan Sect was still: "poor."
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't understand why the Maoshan Sect planted so much thatch. She just felt that without the embellishment of other trees, the Maoshan Sect looked a bit desolate against the backdrop of thatch all over the mountains.
It was autumn at this time, and the thatch on the mountain had dried up. The withered yellow thatch was dotted here and there on the mountaintop of Maoshan Sect, making Maoshan Sect look like it was "planted" with human heads with messy hair.
When Zhou Yuanyuan saw it for the first time, she felt a little horrified. But when she saw it again, she couldn't help laughing.
Please forgive Zhou Yuanyuan, a newbie who knows nothing about the world of cultivation! The thatch used by the Maoshan sect is not ordinary thatch, but "spiritual thatch".
The talismans of the Maoshan Sect are well-known in the world of cultivation.
Making talismans requires talisman paper, and the "spiritual thatch" that grows all over the mountains of Maoshan Sect is the best raw material for making talisman paper.
Strangely enough, this kind of "spiritual thatch" only grows so lushly in the Maoshan Sect. Outside the scope of the Maoshan Sect, the "spiritual thatch" grows sparsely and its quality is several levels lower than that of the Maoshan Sect.
When making talisman paper, the higher the grade of the "spiritual thatch grass", the higher the chance of success when drawing talismans on the blank talisman paper.
As a result, the blank talisman paper of Maoshan Sect became a valuable item that monks from other sects competed for.
The talismans of the Maoshan Sect are even more incredibly expensive.
Thanks to their unique business of talismans and talisman paper, the Maoshan Sect became incredibly wealthy. The cultivation resources available to Maoshan disciples were even superior to those of the Yushan Sect.
Therefore, it is true that the people of Maoshan Sect like to live in thatched huts, but it does not necessarily mean that they are all paupers as Zhou Yuanyuan imagined.
At least, Mao Daliang is not a pauper.
As a talented cultivator of the Maoshan Sect, and with a Nascent Soul Master as her guardian, Mao Daling's wealth is one of the best in the Maoshan Sect. Of course! With Mao Daling's status, even if the Maoshan Sect is really poor, it certainly can't be as poor as Mao Daling.
Mao Daling's boudoir was a small courtyard with a front and back yard, carved window lattices, white walls, a few bamboo clumps at the corners, and lush flowers and trees in the yard. Aside from the replacement of the green tiles on the roof with thick, neatly cut thatch, the courtyard's design had the charm of a Jiangnan courtyard.
Based on the lesson of releasing spiritual sense for no reason last time, which caused a mess among the Maoshan disciples, Zhou Yuanyuan did not dare to use spiritual sense to scan directly this time. Instead, she stood halfway up the mountain, relying on her sharp eyes to look into the valley, trying to find the pile of strange "thatch" she had seen last time.
As a result, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't find the iconic yellow and white hair of the Maoshan ancestor, but she fell in love with the courtyard where Mao Daling lived at first sight.
Compared with the "shabby huts" that Zhou Yuanyuan had seen so far, Mao Daling's courtyard looked clean and elegant.
At this time, Mao Daling was watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
The beautiful figure, the pitiful face, the mechanical movements and the wooden expression made Zhou Yuanyuan feel a little pity for him.
It is human nature to be kind to women. When Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Mao Daling with a dull expression for a second longer, she felt more hatred towards Ling Xiaotian who had harmed Mao Daling.
Zhou Yuanyuan decided to settle down in Mao Daling's courtyard during her stay at the Maoshan Sect. Firstly, perhaps Mao Daling's mood would improve in the company of her "optimistic and cheerful" self? Secondly, Zhou Yuanyuan was Mao Daling's "lifesaver," and she couldn't bear to see such a good girl sink into depression because of an unavoidable hurt in life.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan selectively forgot that she did not show up at all when she saved Mao Daling, and was at best just an unsung hero.
But seeing the girl she had saved again filled Zhou Yuanyuan's heart with excitement. Oh, no, Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that when she last heard the monks from the Yushan Sect gossiping, they said that this Mao Daling was over a hundred years old. A girl over a hundred years old? Never mind, she would still call Mao Daling a beauty! A beauty is still a beauty no matter how old she is. Absolutely!
After taking another look at the target courtyard and the picturesque beauty in the courtyard, Zhou Yuanyuan raised her legs and ran towards the courtyard excitedly.
A "spirit gathering array" was set up in Mao Daling's courtyard.
The spiritual energy in the courtyard was about twice as dense as outside. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were also growing better than those outside. Unfortunately, Mao Daling was not in the mood to practice at all.
Mao Daling's heart was filled with anxiety and hatred. However, she had to bury this hatred deep in her heart and was unwilling to show it to those close to her.
Mao Daling's cultivation had regressed from the original foundation-building great perfection to the middle stage of foundation-building. Mao Daling knew that the cultivation she had lost was absorbed by the current leader of Yushan Sect, Liu Jingyu.
Mao Daling had no "c" complex, and certainly no romantic feelings for Ling Xiaotian, the man who had taken her virginity. Her heart was filled with nothing but hatred. She hated Ling Xiaotian, she hated Yao Meiyu, and even more, she hated herself for not understanding people's hearts, for mistaking the venomous Yao Meiyu for a close and devoted friend.
After escaping from Yushan Sect half a year ago, Mao Daling has been unable to calm down and practice. As soon as she closes her eyes, Mao Daling's mind is filled with ferocious faces, Yao Meiyu's and Ling Xiaotian's.
Mao Daliang knew that she had a demon in her heart.
Mao Daling's inner demon is the leader of the Yushan Sect, Ling Xiaotian, who harmed her, and her "poisonous best friend" Yao Meiyu.
If she cannot get rid of these two enemies, Mao Daling will never make any progress in her cultivation in this life.
Mao Daliang knew that as long as she said the word, her brother Mao Yifu would definitely use all the strength of the Maoshan Sect to avenge her.
Mao Daling was unwilling to involve the Maoshan Sect in his hatred.
