Swallows and swallows are troublesome.

  The Dongfu of Jinghedaoren is called Shangqing Palace.

  When Mo Tian Ge saw it, she was taken aback for a moment. She thought it would be called something like Wan Hua Palace or Bai Xiang Palace, but she didn't expect it to have such a normal name.

  In this palace, apart from Jinghe Daojun, there were only her and sixteen female cultivators. These female cultivators were all foundation-building disciples who had not yet formed their golden cores and were not qualified to be taken in by the sect as formal disciples, so they came voluntarily to serve as attendants for Yuan Ying's master ancestor, hoping to gain some guidance.

  Jinghe Daojun is not a petty person, as his concubine, one can often receive his guidance and rewards. At first, these concubines may have indeed come solely for the benefits of cultivation, but having served a man with high cultivation, good looks, and good manners for an extended period, they unknowingly develop some extravagant thoughts, and incidents of jealousy and rivalry increase.

  Mo Tian Ge spent those few days in the Warm Nurturing Pool, and having grown accustomed to seeing Mei Lan Zhuo Ju's four people bickering, she originally didn't think much of it. But when they arrived at the Upper Clear Palace, only then did she realize that their bickering was truly nothing.

  These sixteen women are named Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju, Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, Xia, Qiu, Dong, Yu, Xue, Feng, and Shuang. Their names were all chosen by Jinghe Daoren, extremely common clichés.

  By these names' standards, this place is actually called Shang Qing Palace, which truly astonishes Mo Tian Ge.

  Her Mingxinju was relatively close to the residence of the four people who were good at qin, qi, shu and hua. The four people were named Xiūqín, Qīngqí, Xiánshū and Dàihuà. These names are considered more elegant than Méilánzhújù, but the way they interact with each other is even more intense than Méilánzhújù's rivalry.

  Moreover, because her cultivation was not much different from theirs, these female disciples did not truly obey her. Although they called her Shifu, they had never gone against her wishes, but their words and actions gradually lost respect.

  Up until now, Mo Tian Ge had set up the Five Spirits Formation around his own small cave dwelling. If there was anything, he would just have them send a message from outside the cave dwelling, trying to minimize their chances of meeting.

  She was blocked outside the Dongfu, and Jinghe Daojun let her fend for herself. Mo Tian Ge finally entered the Xukong Realm, continuing his cultivation.

  With the help of Hunyuan Gong, her cultivation progressed extremely quickly. Practicing for three hours a day would yield the same results as before. However, Mo Tian Ge didn't rush to cultivate. She practiced for three hours a day and stopped once she achieved the desired effect. Because she knew that her cultivation had been forcibly raised to the middle stage of foundation building, her mental state was still unstable. If she were to rush for success, she would likely fail to solidify her foundation, and end up having to restart from scratch. It's better to take it slow now and lay a solid foundation.

  Because she was suppressing her cultivation speed, her Lian Shen Jue also slowed down. Any martial art's mantra must be based on the heart method, and Lian Shen Jue is no exception. She is currently only in the middle of the foundation building period, although her yuan shen meridians are different from ordinary foundation building cultivators, she cannot ignore the cultivation realm. If her cultivation is insufficient to support it, Lian Shen Jue will eventually cause a backlash.

  So, Mo Tian Ge devoted the remaining five or six hours to other skills.

  Array method, alchemy, equipment refinement, talisman creation, medical skills, and mechanical devices.

  The so-called mechanism is a particularly special kind of skill among many skills. It is said that in the distant ancient times, there was a Mo family in the world, and its ancestor Mozi was skilled in craftsmanship. He could use materials such as wood and iron to manufacture powerful mechanical devices, with which one person could defeat hundreds, even attack cities and plunder lands.

  This is naturally a trivial art in the Xianxia world, but the Xianxia world also has its own mechanical arts, using various spiritual objects and crystal stones to create puppets that can obtain powers similar to those of human cultivators.

  Unfortunately, Mo Tian Ge had flipped through the books on mechanical engineering, but these puppets all needed something called a crystal stone to activate, and now this thing can't be found anywhere, no wonder the art of mechanics has been lost.

  Practicing, farming, and studying skills, the days passed by one after another. Mo Tian Ge lived in this small Dongfu, and as he learned more, he became more and more immersed, even people were rarely seen.

  It was a long time before her nominal master finally remembered her in this lonely but not desolate life.

  Mo Tian Ge sat on the chair, still with his eyes cast down, not even raising an eyebrow as Jing and Dao Jun sized him up.

  Jinghe Daojun looked at her for a while before finally speaking: "This little girl, is actually quite clever, didn't frantically cultivate and slowed down the pace of cultivation. Hmm, much smarter than that stinky little brat!"

  Stinky brat? Mo Tian's song turned in his mind, who was he talking about?

  After saying this, Jing and Daojun lay down again: "Is it very leisurely to deliberately suppress the speed of cultivation every day?"

  "...She wasn't idle at all! But Mo Tian Ge didn't dare say it out loud, so he just nodded and carefully looked at this nominal master."

  Jinghe Daojun didn't mind. He didn't even look at her, and continued to peel the grapes with his own spiritual energy: "How about Master gives you something to do?"

  Is this bad news? Mo Tian Ge looked at him even more cautiously.

  Jinghe Daojun glanced at her and chuckled, saying kindly: "Disciple, Master is also thinking of you. Look at yourself, you still have more than nine years to go, being locked up like this all the time doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

  "Master," Mo Tian Ge said after some deliberation, "the disciple thinks it's great and really likes days like this."

  Jinghe Daojun raised his eyebrows: "Where's the problem, you don't have to be embarrassed, Master has already thought it through for you! I guess your daily cultivation time doesn't exceed five hours, right? With twelve hours in a day, half of them are left over, and you don't need to sleep anymore, what are you doing idling around? So Master came up with a plan, found something for you to do!"

  “……”

  Kan Mo Tian Ge didn't object, Jing He Dao Jun stood up with a smile: "Ah, this is good, Master can't harm you, right? I'll tell you, apart from cultivation, some things are also very important... Master won't harm you..."

  Moy Tian sighed and said: "Master, if you have something on your mind, just say it."

  Jinghe Daojun took out a jade slip at that time: "You follow the records on this, do it at a fixed time every day, and you'll be fine."

  Moyan Ge's eyes widened in shock as he immersed his divine sense into it, and suddenly felt like vomiting blood.

  At 3 am, she picked herbs, at 4 am, she tended to the spiritual grass, at 5 am, she took care of the spiritual beast, at 6 am, she went out to preach, and returned at noon. She scheduled five time slots with the remaining seven time slots. And most of them were done by her maid!

  What does this master want to do? Does he want her to be busy every day?

  "Master..." Her face turned a bit pale, "Are these things, aren't they a bit too much?"

  "Has it increased?" Jinghe asked Daojun, "In the past, when Xuan Yin Qingyuan's disciples first entered the door, they did more things than you have done now!"

  "Me..." Alright, apprentices have the duty to obey their masters, but the problem is, masters also have the duty to teach their apprentices. This master never teaches her, why should she fulfill her duties as an apprentice?

  Seeing her not speaking, Jing and Daojun blew their beards and glared: "Is there such a disciple like you? You're asked to do something and you're still reluctant, thinking of the past, Xuan Yin and them..."

  "Alright, alright," Moke Tiansong said helplessly. "Whatever Master says is what it is, I'll just follow and do as told."

  "That's right..."

  She reluctantly agreed to Jinghe and Daojun's orders, but in fact she shouldn't have and couldn't. Would she dare disobey the words of Yuanying Shushi?

  What's even more depressing is that she was already unhappy, and those shi women who had been given tasks by her were still giving her attitude.

  "Ah!" The maid who had been preparing the ritual previously tossed over a jade bottle for holding sacred water and a jade slip for guiding the sacred water, her expression cold and detached with a hint of disdain. "The Master likes the sacred water from before three o'clock in the morning, if it's even a bit late, he won't want it. Also, you must bring clean and fragrant spiritual grass, if there's any unusual smell, the Master will surely be furious. You're on your own."

  He took over the song of the wild sky, but didn't even bother to thank him, and turned around to leave.

  Just then, two women behind her spoke loudly.

  "Next summer, others will have taken care of your chores, what will you do?"

  Just now, a female cultivator who had just met with Mo Tian Ge said in a sarcastic tone: "The master has already spoken, what can I do? If there's nothing to do, then there's nothing to do. We can use the extra time to cultivate instead! I think it's strange too, they're just disciples. We're female cultivators, how come they're still trying to steal our jobs?"

  "Hmph, you don't even think about it, what kind of person is our Master? At the very least, he's a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and Foundation Building cultivators would kneel down to beg him to take them in as disciples. And yet, he's willing to accept a mere Foundation Building cultivator like you as his disciple! Even if you do have the title of 'disciple', what's the difference? You're still just like us..."

  "That's right. I heard that the master accepted disciples from other families because they had conflicts with other sects, it was just a temporary measure, but some people shouldn't think they can rise to the top overnight!"

  "Hey, don't say that! Disciples are still disciples after all. We're just Shi Nu, if we offend them, who knows if our ancestors will want to guide us anymore. By the way, did Ancestor say he's going to teach us the Way today?"

  "Right, right, we mustn't be late..."

  A stranger's song bites my teeth, I see but don't perceive, I hear but don't listen.

  What nonsense is this? It won't even cost a piece of meat! And yet, she's actually teaching Shì girl the way, without even pointing out a single word to her, let alone mentioning anything about paying respects to a master!

  At 3 o'clock in the morning, after finishing picking lù, Mò Tiān Gē rushed back to the Upper Clear Palace and took over the task of taking care of the spiritual grass.

  This time, the errand was carried out by the gentle rain and light snow in the midst of wind, frost, and snow.

  These two were more straightforward, just throwing her a spiritual grass classification yùjian, and then turning their bodies to ignore her.

  Moyan Song spent almost half an hour to understand the handling methods of various spiritual herbs, and those two women were still standing beside him, coldly mocking and teasing.

  "Light Snow, this hairpin of yours isn't bad, is it a magical artifact?"

  "This was given to me by my master a few days ago, and he said that with my fair skin, I look best with this green jade hairpin. If we encounter a fight, it can also be used for protection!"

  "I also got a reward, look at this ribbon, Master said that as a girl, I should be pretty and pleasing to the eye, wearing a dull and dusty sect uniform, without even a hairpin on my head, it's too rustic!"

  "Who says not? Last time we went to Tianhuo Mountain, Master looked at Lingyin Peak's Zhan Shijie and gave her clothes. We shi girls have to serve Master every day, so we must dress up even more."

  "But it's really strange, Master didn't used to accept female disciples, and Elder Sister Su Xin was also exceptionally beautiful, so why did she accept someone completely unremarkable now?"

  "Alas, it also depends on whether one can dress up or not. You say others are born that way, what can our ancestors do about it?"

  "That's true." The two girls covered their mouths and burst out laughing "heh-heh".

  Strangers sang and danced, pruning branches and catching insects, watering, and locking the garden gate.

  When it was time for Chen, the sky was already bright, and she went around to the back mountain behind the Dong's mansion.

  Wearing a grey and dusty Taoist robe? Not even a single hairpin on his head? Is that how he normally looks? Mo Tian Ge hummed a tune in his nose.

  The uniform of the Zhū Jī Xiū Shì sect is a blue robe with white sleeves, where did it turn gray? Hàn Qīng Yù Luò Fēng Xuě Yè Jǐng Wén and other elite disciples all dress like this, even Xuán Yīn Shī Xiōng and the others also wear it! And what's with the hairpin, she has a Daoist bun, what does she need a hairpin for? Sù Xīn Shī Jiě is also plain and simple. She says she just looks like that, but if she doesn't say she's as beautiful as an immortal, at least she's much better than them!

  She stormed into the Spiritual Beast Courtyard at the back of the mountain, where she was met by the Four Talents of Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua.

  Jinghe Daojun, as a Yuan Ying cultivator, had many spiritual beasts. This courtyard was full of them, ranging from second to sixth rank. It's said that the higher-ranked spiritual beasts were taken care of by him personally. However, those above fifth rank were equivalent to the Dan-forming stage, and they were still only in the foundation-building stage. Therefore, all four of them took turns caring for them, lest any accidents occur.

  "Uncle Shī, this Ling Beast Institute's seal token, Master must have given it to you long ago. We only have some specific usage methods, I'll give them to you for reference." Xiū Qín said, handing over a jade slip to her.

  Mo Tian Ge slightly calmed down her emotions, at least this group of people didn't anger her.

  She didn't notice, but Xian Shu rolled his eyes and glanced at Dai Hua.

  Four of them understood each other's minds, but they just looked at Mo Tian Ge and didn't say anything else.

  Moyuan finished reading the Yu Jian quickly. After all, spiritual beasts are not like spiritual herbs, and they can be planted casually. The entire Spiritual Beast Institute only has a dozen or so spiritual beasts.

  She finished reading Yu's letter and went to prepare various feeds. Then she used the token given by Jing and Dao Jun to open the seal on the door of the Spiritual Beast Institute.

  Two second-order spiritual beasts, three third-order spiritual beasts, one fourth-order spiritual beast, two fifth-order spiritual beasts, one sixth-order spiritual beast...

  Place the feed in order and head towards the Five-Stage Spirit Beast.

  This is a fifth-order Treading Heaven Ox, with massive ox horns, said to have the power to tread the heavens and split the earth. She followed Yu's instructions, opening the outermost seal, and put down the feed.

  Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the inner layer of the ban suddenly flashed, and in an instant, the Treading Heaven Ox let out a loud "moo" towards the sky, its hind hooves scraped against the ground, and it charged at the ban.

  It disappeared after flashing for an instant.

  Moyan Ge heard this voice, just turned halfway around, suddenly saw the bull horn rushing towards her, and swiftly took out a white silk handkerchief. A brick wall fell down, and the powerful impact of the charging bull horn was firmly blocked.

  Then she stretched out her hand, grabbed the white silk handkerchief that had changed back to its original shape, and swung it to lift herself up and ran outside. Along the way, she fiercely stared at the four people standing at the edge of the courtyard - Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua!

  These four people didn't mock her, it's just because they had long planned to teach her a lesson like this!

  But before she could think of anything else, Tiantian Niu was chasing after her, dashing left and right, with his horns always pointing at her.

  The speed of the white silk cloth was pushed to its limits, and Mo Tian Ge had already used it to dodge the attacks of the fifth-stage demonic beast. Now that he had gotten more familiar with this object, he felt even more at ease, and didn't feel any sense of urgency for the time being.

  The power of the Tiantian Cow lies in its strength, but its speed is not great. She rode the white silk scarf with all her might, and it was not easy to dodge. Of course, she could also take the cow to the front to find Jing and Daojun for help, but wouldn't that make her look very incompetent?

  Moye Tian Ge's body shape quickly retreated, and a lantern appeared in his hand.

  The lamp flew high up in the air, shining brightly. The heavenly music spirit pointed with one finger, and the light shone onto the body of the Treading Heaven Cow.

  The figure of Tiantian Cow slowed down, and at this moment, a mysterious aura appeared!

  She had never used the Mí Soul Lantern before, paired with the Mí Route Array, and in an instant, the Treading Sky Ox was bewildered. Its spiritual energy was indeed powerful, but this Mí Soul Lantern and Mí Route Array could only temporarily hold it back, yet this brief moment was enough for Mo Tian Ge.

  The Ling Beast also has a divine consciousness. In the Mí Zōng Array, the Ling Beast will instinctively use its divine consciousness to sense its surroundings, giving Mo Tian Ge an opportunity to take advantage of it!

  Refining the divine art, the divine consciousness soared, fiercely lashing out at the past.

  The Tiantian cow let out a loud "moo" and suddenly jumped up violently.

  The white silk scarf struck again, but this time it wasn't for defense. The brick wall heavily smashed towards Treading Sky Ox.

  Seeing Tiantian Cow fall to the ground, Mochen Song let out a breath. She didn't have any powerful magical tools in her hand, only the White Silk Handkerchief, which might be able to harm Tiantian Cow, and with the unexpected attack of Lian Shen Jue, it temporarily made Tiantian Cow lose its ability to move.

  He stepped into the Tian Niu Guan and returned to the Ling Shou Yuan, opening all the seals. Mo Tian Ge walked out of the Ling Shou Yuan, coldly staring at the four people who had been standing by - Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua.

  She saw clearly, when the Tiantian Cow rushed out, these four people had smiles on their faces, obviously they were ready to plot against her! If it weren't for her having the Lian Shen Jue and several precious items on her body, and this place being set up with multiple restrictions that limited the power of the Tiantian Cow, she would have probably lost half her life just now!

  At this moment, these four people looked at her, their faces no longer had a mocking expression, replaced by horror.

  From the moment Tiantian Cow broke through the seal, to the moment Mochen Song knocked it unconscious, only a few breaths had passed. A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually able to subdue a fifth-grade spiritual beast; although this was also because the seal restricted the power of Tiantian Cow, it was enough to shock them!

  They just wouldn't accept it, so they wanted to use the power of a fifth-stage spirit beast to teach their uncle, who was also a foundation-building cultivator but had been looked down upon by their master, a lesson. There were restrictions here, and the four of them were always ready to strike, thinking that they probably wouldn't take her life, but half a life was very likely. They weren't afraid of their master getting angry because their master didn't like people who lacked ability; as long as they spared her life, their master wouldn't blame them. But what they never expected was that with just a few breaths, a fifth-stage spirit beast was actually subdued!

  Moy Tian Ge let out a cold laugh, one hand holding a white silk handkerchief and the other gripping the Fei Tian Shu: "Looks like you're not convinced, then let's have a fight! All of you come at me together, I'll make you understand why I'm the disciple and you're all just servants!"

  The four people who were originally frightened by her words looked at each other, but then a hint of anger appeared. They were indeed unhappy, they were just slightly inferior in talent, but their cultivation was not weak, and among them there were also those who had reached the middle stage of foundation building. Why should they call a fellow cultivator of the same rank "Shifu"? Why did she receive such attention from their master, allowing her to be familiar with all things in the Upper Clear Palace?

  "A few of our junior sisters, since Master said so, let's play with her for a bit!"
