Because of the advice Zhou Yuanyuan gave her, Mao Daling's admiration for Zhou Yuanyuan reached an extremely high level.
Ever since Zhou Yuanyuan stepped into Mao Daling's yard, Mao Daling has been following Zhou Yuanyuan around like a little puppy who is close to its owner, and she can't be driven away for the past half day.
Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to ask Mao Daling to play the role of host and take her around Maoshan Sect.
It was from Mao Daling that Zhou Yuanyuan learned that the clumps of "spiritual thatch" she had dismissed as weeds actually represented piles of spiritual stones in the Maoshan Sect. The bulk of the Maoshan Sect's income came from the "thatch" that covered the mountains.
From harvesting to soaking to pulping and then to papermaking, the outer disciples of Maoshan Sect have formed a complete industrial chain - the industrial chain for producing blank talisman paper.
There was no other way. Most of the spiritual stone mines in the cultivation world were occupied by the Yushan Sect. When Daoyan Zhenjun was alive, the Maoshan Sect's military strength was not enough to compete with the Yushan Sect. They had to find another way and rely on developing the blank talisman paper business to earn enough cultivation resources for their disciples.
The success rate of drawing talismans on Maoshan School's blank talisman paper is 30% to 40% higher than on ordinary talisman paper.
A 30-40% success rate sent the entire cultivation world into a frenzy. For cultivators drawing talismans, achieving a 30% success rate was considered a remarkable achievement. Someone like Mao Yifu, who achieved a 50% success rate after learning the art of talismans, was already considered a remarkable talent.
In this way, the Maoshan Sect directly monopolized the talisman market in the entire cultivation world by using the blank talisman paper business.
This result was something that the previous leader of the Maoshan Sect could not have predicted.
Compared to the vastness of Yushan Sect, Maoshan Sect's territory was pitifully small. In just half a day, Zhou Yuanyuan's flying sword had already measured every inch of Maoshan Sect's territory.
When passing by the hill where the ancestors of Maoshan lived, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing.
As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Maoshan Sect, the Maoshan Patriarch occupied an entire mountain alone.
The top of the Maoshan Patriarch's mountain and Mao Daling's courtyard are not far apart, they are just two mountains facing each other from next door.
Looking down from the air, the courtyard where the ancestor of Maoshan lived was shaped like a big skull.
If the Maoshan Patriarch were meditating in the yard, his iconic yellow hair mixed with silver threads would really look like a unique bunch of thatch.
The last time Zhou Yuanyuan was in the trial world of the Chaos Pearl, she suddenly saw such a "wonderful sight" and couldn't help but release her spiritual sense to investigate, which awakened the Maoshan ancestor who was in meditation.
Hehe, does it mean that between me and the ancestor of Maoshan, we can say that “there is no acquaintance without fighting”?
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing.
Today's Maoshan Patriarch is not in the sect.
Normally, when a master like Zhou Yuanyuan appears in Maoshan Sect, a Maoshan ancestor of the same level needs to come forward to receive him in order to demonstrate the hospitality of Maoshan Sect.
Mao Daling was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would be surprised, so she explained a few things to her.
Because of the impending battle with the Yushan Sect, the Maoshan Patriarch went out for a few days to look for some old friends and helpers. He has not returned yet.
After Mao Daling finished her explanation, she curiously asked Zhou Yuanyuan, "Fairy, are you one of my master's good friends? You're willing to come to Maoshan Sect to help at this critical moment. Your generosity is something that everyone in Maoshan Sect will deeply appreciate."
"Hehehe... I met your master once." Zhou Yuanyuan explained vaguely.
Xiaoyu and Chaos Pearl were both laughing secretly.
That's right! The last time they passed by the Maoshan Sect, Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual sense frightened the Maoshan Patriarch. Otherwise, the Maoshan Patriarch wouldn't have gone out to seek help at this critical juncture when the war was about to begin.
"I was wondering why the fairy saved my daughter last time? It turns out it's my master's connection. Thank you, fairy!" Mao Daling thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was indeed familiar with Mao Yifu, and said happily.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Mao Daling with a smile and felt happy for this "girl" who was over a hundred years old.
Mao Daling's innocent nature showed that she was spoiled by the Maoshan Patriarch and Mao Yifu. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like scheming women, but for a "silly and sweet" like Mao Daling, she couldn't help but want to help her.
So, the fate between people is really wonderful.
When Mao Yifu came to invite Zhou Yuanyuan to the banquet, Zhou Yuanyuan had just come back from strolling with Mao Daliang.
Zhou Yuanyuan originally didn't want to attend any banquet, but under Mao Daliang's strong invitation, she gave Mao Yifu this face.
Seeing the smile on Mao Daling's face, Mao Yifu's gratitude towards Zhou Yuanyuan increased. It seemed that a senior was still a senior after all, someone who understood cultivation and also knew how to persuade others, unlike him, a rough man with a dull mind and a slow tongue. It had been over half a year since the elder sister returned, and he still didn't know how to comfort her.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked the ancestor to invite the senior here earlier. Like Mao Daling, Mao Yifu automatically classified Zhou Yuanyuan as a "guest invited by the ancestor."
It's no wonder, the Maoshan Sect's mountain protection formation is so powerful. For hundreds of years, no one has ever entered the formation silently without a pass token.
When the Maoshan Patriarch went out to invite people, he took away three blank tokens. The tokens required both the Maoshan Patriarch and the invitee to inject a trace of their own spiritual consciousness into them in order to activate the pass token, allowing the invitee to enter the Maoshan Sect without Mao Yifu's permission.
Xie Hanshi and Mao Da had been waiting in front of the thatched cottage for so long that their necks grew long before they saw the leisurely figures of Zhou Yuanyuan, Mao Yifu and the other two.
Xie Hanshi had a big smile on his face and was about to go up to Mao Yifu to greet him, but was stopped by Mao Da who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
"Don't be rude, follow me." Mao Da warned Xie Hanshi softly.
Xie Hanshi was stunned, then followed Mao Da and bowed to the "threesome" who were approaching and saluted.
When Zhou Yuanyuan passed by Xie Hanshi, she was almost vomited by the stench on Xie Hanshi.
The bad smell on Xie Hanshi's body had become very light after washing, but Zhou Yuanyuan's five senses were too sensitive. Even a little bit of bad smell would be magnified almost a hundred times in Zhou Yuanyuan's nose.
"Huh?" Xiaoyu exclaimed.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" Zhou Yuanyuan held her breath and walked away from Xie Hanshi silently.
"There is a demonic aura about this person. No, he is obviously not a demon cultivator, so how could he have a demonic aura? Master, please let me think about it carefully, what is going on?" Xiaoyu fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't care. It was none of her business whether the stranger was angry or not.
"Wow! Who are you? You look like a decent person, but why are you so unhygienic?" Mao Daliang didn't have so many concerns. She just covered her nose and yelled.
Mao Daling's five senses were not as sharp as Zhou Yuanyuan's, but she could still smell the faint stench on Xie Hanshi.
