"Even if your Yushan Sect has a large number of people and strong forces, you should still be reasonable, right?" The square-faced monk who spoke was Mao Yifu's brother-in-law, Fang Jinchao, the head of the Xianxia Sect.
Compared with the Yushan Sect, the Xianxia Sect and the Maoshan Sect can only be regarded as second-rate sects of cultivation. The number of disciples of the two sects combined is not as many as the number of disciples at the top of one peak of the Yushan Sect.
"Master Fang, please." Li Changqing, worthy of being the chief steward of the Yushan Sect, spoke aggressively: "Since Master Fang is a reasonable person, then Changqing would like to ask, what are the two masters of your sects doing by disregarding their status and sneaking into my Yushan Sect?"
Li Changqing emphasized the words "reason" and "infiltrate".
Fang Jinchao blushed, and his words lost their unwavering momentum: "I...we are here to look for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" Li Changqing refused to give in.
"Li Changqing, please hand over my elder sister." Mao Yifu saw that Fang Jinchao was a little embarrassed because of Li Changqing's questioning, so he quickly took over the topic.
"Mao Daling?" Li Changqing suddenly realized.
Mao Daling of the Maoshan Sect was close friends with Yao Meiyu, the chief disciple of the Jade Mountain Sect's Caixia Peak. Six months ago, while Mao Daling was out training, she passed by the Jade Mountain Sect and made a special trip to visit Yao Meiyu. Yao Meiyu invited Mao Daling to stay at Jade Mountain Sect's Caixia Peak, where she stayed until a month ago.
Did Mao Daling not return to Maoshan Sect after leaving Yushan Sect? Could it be that Mao Yifu and Fang Jinchao misunderstood that Yushan Sect had harmed Mao Daling? How could that be possible? Although Yushan Sect was the only dominant sect in the current cultivation world, if Maoshan Sect and Xianxia Sect joined forces, Yushan Sect would also be in trouble.
"Fairy Mao left a month ago." Li Changqing explained frankly.
"Impossible. We haven't heard from my eldest sister since a month ago. She must have been ambushed by your Yushan Sect." Mao Yifu said angrily.
In the Chaos Pearl's trial world, Zhou Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Brother Ziqing, who is this Mao Daling? Could she be the female cultivator next to "Liu Jingyu"?"
Wen Ziqing frowned, shook his head and said, "Mao Daling is a talented disciple of the Maoshan Sect. As for what she looks like, I don't know either."
When Wen Ziqing went to search Liu Jingyu's storage bag, he saw a female cultivator beside him. Since neither Liu Jingyu nor the female cultivator was wearing anything, Wen Ziqing, adhering to the principle of "do not look at what is inappropriate," only took Liu Jingyu's things and did not even glance at the female cultivator.
But Wen Ziqing knew Mao Daliang.
Mao Daling is very famous in the world of cultivation, and she holds a special position in the Maoshan Sect. She is not only the elder sister of Mao Yifu, the head of the Maoshan Sect, but also the direct disciple of the Maoshan Patriarch, the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator in the Maoshan Sect.
The status of the Maoshan Patriarch is equivalent to that of Daoyan Zhenjun of the Yushan Sect. He is over 800 years old this year and is the greatest guarantee for the Maoshan Sect to become the second largest sect in the world of cultivation.
Mao Daling had excellent aptitude, possessing a water-attributed spiritual root. When Maoshan's ancestor first accepted her as a disciple, he had declared that if another Nascent Soul cultivator emerged in the future, it would be Mao Daling.
Daoyan Zhenjun, the leader of Yushan Sect, is dead, and even Xie Hanmei, a direct descendant of Daoyan Zhenjun, has defected from Yushan Sect and defected to Maoshan Sect.
It is entirely possible that the Yushan Sect harmed Mao Daling out of anger.
As we all know, a sect's guardian figure is essential. After the death of Daoyan Zhenjun of the Yushan Sect, unless another Yuanying Zhenjun emerges within a hundred years, the Yushan Sect will undoubtedly lose its position as the leading sect, and its spiritual stone mines and mountaintops will be divided up by other sects. Currently, it seems that the only sect that can rival the Yushan Sect in a hundred years' time is the Maoshan Sect.
With Mao Daling's death, Yushan Sect would effectively cut off the Maoshan Sect's chances of acquiring another Nascent Soul cultivator. When the Maoshan Patriarch's millennial death came, the Maoshan Sect would no longer have a Nascent Soul True Lord to rule over it, and its strength would be impossible to surpass Yushan Sect.
Just as the Maoshan Patriarch asserted, Mao Daling was indeed a genius. Her cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators. She drew Qi into her body within three months, reached the middle stage of Qi training at the age of thirty, successfully established her foundation at the age of eighty, and achieved the great perfection of her foundation at the age of one hundred and fifty.
Mao Daling is 180 years old this year. She has been stuck in the great perfection of foundation building for 30 years. There is abundant spiritual energy in her body, but there is no sign of forming a pill.
The Maoshan Patriarch was perplexed. Mao Daling had cultivated smoothly from the Qi Refining Stage to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Why couldn't she form a pill? The Maoshan Patriarch compared his own cultivation experience and ultimately attributed Mao Daling's inability to form a pill to her insufficient state of mind.
Mao Daling possesses an innocent and unwavering nature, focusing on her craft. Every day within the Maoshan Sect, she cultivates and practices. As a core disciple meticulously nurtured within the sect, Mao Daling is spared from the need to undertake sect missions, and no one dares to disturb her cultivation with mundane objects. Mao Daling joined the sect at the age of four and has remained within it for nearly 180 years, never having ventured elsewhere.
The only female cultivator Mao Daling was friendly with was Yao Meiyu, who had once been a guest at Maoshan Sect with her master, Fairy Caixia.
Seeing that Mao Daling's spiritual energy had reached the point of overflowing, and that further meditation and cultivation would be of no use, the Maoshan Patriarch advised Mao Daling to leave the sect and gain some experience. Advancing from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage required more than just abundant spiritual energy; it also required an elevated state of mind.
Mao Daling readily agreed. Her first destination was the Yushan Sect. Mao Daling and Yao Meiyu had known each other for fifty years, usually communicating through communication. During this rare free time, Mao Daling wanted to visit Yao Meiyu. It would be a great way to relax, and also to experience an environment different from the Maoshan Sect and hone her mindset.
After Mao Daling visited Yushan Sect, she felt like she was discovering something new every day. Yao Meiyu's time at Yushan Sect was completely different from Mao Daling's time at Maoshan Sect.
Mao Daling often sent messages back, sometimes to her brother Mao Yifu, sometimes to her sister Mao Xiaoling, telling her about the interesting things she had encountered in the Yushan Sect, and more often about the open and secret struggles between Yao Meiyu and several other sisters. In the Maoshan Sect, Mao Daling had never encountered rejection from her fellow sisters and brothers. After all, she had a high status and was always protected by the Maoshan Patriarch.
Just a month ago, Mao Daling sent a message to Mao Yifu, saying that after living in Yushan Sect for so long, her mind had relaxed and she was ready to return to the sect to retreat and strive for the Golden Core. Mao Daling planned to say goodbye to Yao Meiyu the next day and return to Maoshan Sect within three days.
Mao Yi Fu hadn't seen his innocent elder sister for a long time and indeed missed her a little. Since the day Mao Daling sent the communication talisman, he had been waiting for Mao Daling to return.
