190, Linhai City

  I heard that Mo Tian Ge is leaving the fishing village. Xiao Bao is very reluctant to part with him. It's rare for outsiders to come to the fishing village, and Mo Tian Ge even gave him delicious things to eat, which he had never tasted such sweet fruits before.

  The mother, of course, wouldn't let the child make a fuss, and hurriedly coaxed him. In the end, Mo Tian Ge gave several useless pellets that had been ruined to Xiao Bao as candy, and finally managed to coax him into calming down.

  "Alright," Mo Tian Ge glanced over at the four members of the Shi family, "tell me, which direction do I go to get to Lin Hai City?"

  Shui San hastily replied, "The immortal has been walking north all along, it's about half a day's journey, and you'll arrive at Linhai City."

  For an ordinary person, half a day's journey would be just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for a foundation repair monk like her. Mo Tian Ge nodded: "Thank you."

  Just as she was about to leave, Shui San hurriedly called out: "Immortal maiden, immortal maiden, wait a moment."

  A stranger suddenly appeared before him and asked with a sideways glance, "What's going on?"

  Although she was calm and gentle, as a cultivator, she naturally had an aura when facing ordinary people. Shui San was somewhat intimidated and didn't dare to speak up until his wife nudged him from behind, then he mustered up the courage: "I have a humble request, I beg of you, immortal maiden, please grant it!"

  "Oh? What's up. Tell me about it."

  Watching Tian Ge Song didn't refuse, Shui San Yi was overjoyed and turned to look at Ah Nuan, saying: "Immortal maiden, my family's Ah Nuan also has a spiritual root. However, the immortal maidens of Bi Xuan Pavilion said that Ah Nuan's spiritual root is slightly inferior, so she can only wait for an opening to enter the sect. Our Shui family finally has a child with a spiritual root, and I'm anxious in my heart, thinking that if my Ah Nuan could...

  A string of words was said in a muddled manner, and Shuǐ Sān's wife saw that Tiān Gē had slightly furrowed her brow. She immediately nudged her husband again, smiling as she took over the conversation: "Immortal maiden, my husband can't express himself clearly, so I'll just say it straight out. My daughter said that if we learn immortal magic, next time when choosing people, we will be chosen first. This immortal magic city does have things for sale, but to buy immortal magic requires... what's it called... spirit stones? Our family doesn't have such things. These past few days, we've helped the immortal maiden with a few tasks, and she gave us so much gold. We shouldn't be making excessive demands, but..."

  "Do you want the immortal method?" Mo Tian Ge interrupted her words.

  The man nodded repeatedly and added, "Immortal maiden, we won't take your gold; just give us a magical method. If that's not enough, immortal maiden, you can take whatever you fancy..."

  This little ordinary fisherman, where would he have something he wants?

  Seeing Ah Nai staring at her anxiously by her side, Miao Tian Ge raised her hand to stop Fu Ren's lengthy speech: "Alright, I understand."

  She took out a few jade slips from the Qiankun bag, thought for a moment, Ah Rou is still an ordinary person now and can't use her divine consciousness yet. She put the jade slips back and took out a book instead.

  "Jinzi is of no use to me, but you, Ah Nang, are destined for me. This manual of skills I shall give to you."

  Ah Nuan took over the thin book, her face flushed with excitement, and Shui Jiafu even pulled her down to kowtow: "Thank you, immortal maiden, thank you, immortal maiden."

  The stranger sang a song and waved goodbye, without saying another word, he shook his sleeves and rode off into the wind.

  The water below was a family of three, and all the villagers in this unknown small fishing village were attracted by the gaze.

  Mò Tiān Gē saw it and raised his head, ā Nóng's eyes were full of hope and admiration.

  She gave a smile and then transformed into a ray of light, disappearing at the horizon.

  A small part of the entrance to the Taoist method, for her it's just a piece of cake, but for this little girl who wants to walk on the path of immortality, it's extremely difficult. Mo Tian Ge doesn't mind doing occasional good deeds, and can even be said that because she was born as an ordinary person, she is more kind to ordinary people than to cultivators. However, whether or not she can truly walk on the path of immortality depends on herself.

  Shaking his head, he put these things behind him and focused on hurrying along the road.

  Lin Hai City is not far away, after a cup of tea, Mo Tian Ge has already seen the city wall from afar.

  What surprised her was that she had thought such a small place, Linhai City should be just a small town, but unexpectedly the city wall was built with grand momentum, no worse than some medium-sized cities in Zhongtu.

  What surprised her even more was that as she approached the coastal city, her cloud-stepping boots seemed to lose control, as if... a flying ban had been set up within the city.

  After some thought, Mo Tian Ge descended outside the city and walked towards Lin Hai City on foot.

  It was high noon, and the city gate was sparse, with only a few people entering and exiting. Even the guard had only one soldier standing at the gate, leaning against the wall dozing off, not paying attention to others going in.

  The song of the wild sky is a bit strange, this coastal city doesn't have a country, yet there are soldiers?

  But something even stranger happened next. As she was about to enter the city, the soldier who had been dozing off suddenly woke up with a start, rubbed his eyes and ran over to block her way. Then, he bowed respectfully to her and said, "Immortal maiden, please stop."

  Mo Tian Ge raised an eyebrow and asked: "How did you know I'm a cultivator?"

  She asked this, and the soldier was even more surprised, blurting out: "Isn't the fairy the immortal of our coastal area?"

  Mo Tian's song furrowed his brow, he didn't answer, and his heart was even more suspicious.

  Seeing her unpleasant expression, the soldier hastily said: "Immortal maiden, please calm down. We coastal immortals all know how to distinguish between mortals and immortals. I think you seem unaware of this, so I'm guessing you're not from our coastal region."

  "Oh." Mo Tian Ge nodded, "I indeed am an outsider cultivator who came here unintentionally. What business do you have with stopping me? Could it be that this Coastal City doesn't allow outsiders to enter?"

  Upon hearing this, the soldier shook his head repeatedly: "Immortal maiden, you've misunderstood. It's not like that. Our Coastal City is entirely supported by all of you immortal masters and maidens. Why would we ever forbid immortals from entering the city?"

  "So what's this?"

  The soldier explained: "We are coastal scattered repairs entering the city. All need to register their names, so please leave a name for the immortal."

  "Huh?" Mo Tian Ge felt a bit displeased in her heart, this seaside city's rules were really strict. She had been to many places and didn't dare have such rules for cultivators. It was known that cultivators disliked being restricted the most, and having to leave their names just to enter the city made people feel resistant.

  Seeing the look on Mian Tian Ge's face, the soldier added an explanation: "Immortal maiden, this is a rule set by the immortal maidens of Bi Xuan Pavilion. I am just a mortal and can only follow orders..."

  "So you're saying that if I don't leave my name, I won't be allowed into the city?" Mo Tian Ge gave him a cold glance.

  Although he was not tall, the soldier involuntarily shrunk an inch in front of the aura that the cultivator unintentionally emitted. However, he still insisted on saying: "Sorry, fairy maiden, rules are rules..."

  Mo Tian Ge had already confirmed in his heart that this flying ban over the coastal city was also set by Bi Xuan Pavilion. It seemed that Bi Xuan Pavilion's influence in this sea area was extraordinary, not only controlling a city, but also managing the scattered cultivators nearby.

  After some thought, Mo Tian Ge's face turned cold as he said, "Where do you want me to remember?"

  The soldier was afraid of offending a fairy, and although he was doing business for the Green Jade Pavilion, no fairy was someone that this mortal could afford to offend. Hearing these words, he felt a surge of joy in his heart, took over a name list from the side and handed it over: "Fairy, please sign here."

  The thick register was opened, and Mo Tian Ge saw that many names were recorded on it, with clear records of when they entered and exited.

  She didn't hesitate and took the pen handed over by the soldier, writing down the three words "Ye Xiao Tian" in the blank space.

  She threw the pen back and said, "Is this okay?"

  The soldier nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, fairy maiden, please enter."

  Mo Tian Ge didn't say much more and walked towards the city with a raised foot.

  After she entered the city, the soldier carefully recorded behind her name: Ye Xiaotian, female, cultivation unknown, entered the city at noon on August 20th.

  Mo Tian Ge felt quite displeased in his heart. Originally, it was because of the three Bi Xuan Pavilion female disciples he met at Zi Wei's Dong Fu that left a bad impression on him. Now, his impression of Bi Xuan Pavilion had worsened even further. Although there was only one sect here, Bi Xuan Pavilion, they were still so overbearing in controlling other cultivators, which was really too tyrannical!

  In Kunwu, let alone the small sect of Bi Xuan Ge, even the top two major sects, Tian Dao Zong and Xuan Qing Men, have never had anyone from the town below come to register. Even in some smaller towns, at most they would only ask about one's origin and issue an identity certificate, but they would never be so careless as to let a mortal record the comings and goings of cultivators here.

  However, the fact that Bixuan Pavilion dares to do so shows that they have a strong influence. If it were in Kunwu, she wouldn't enter the city anyway, but here, this is the only big city, and if you don't want to get into trouble with Bixuan Pavilion, you can only take note of their name.

  Helplessly making this choice, Mo Tian Ge entered the city. Anyway, her name was fake and Ye Xiao Tian didn't have much of a reputation, so it wouldn't matter if word got out.

  However, this incident gave her an idea. If Bi Xuan Ge was so overbearing and they were to borrow a path from them but had their route cut off, what would happen? She was now alone, and although Bi Xuan Ge was not prosperous, there were still several Jie Dan cultivators present.

  In that case, it's better to make some inquiries and ask others about the situation with Bi Xuan Ge in Dong Hai.

  Having made up her mind, Mo Tian Ge observed the situation of this coastal city.

  If I hadn't known beforehand, I really wouldn't have expected this coastal city to be in such a remote place on the East China Sea. The wide streets and towering buildings are no different from those in inland China.

  However, the residents here are still somewhat different. For example, there are many fishermen in casual clothes, and even customers sitting in wine houses on the street are dressed very plainly. It seems that the local products are not rich, so there is no luxurious brocade.

  After some thought, Mo Tian Ge turned into a bustling and extraordinary wine house, walking directly to the front of the shopkeeper.

  As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the shopkeeper raised his head and immediately showed a respectful expression: "This immortal, please come in, please come in."

  Mo Tian Ge was puzzled, and the gatekeeper soldier was also fine, since he was sent to guard the city gate, he must have known how to distinguish between ordinary people and cultivators. Why did this ordinary wine shop owner recognize him at a glance?

  "'Shopkeeper,' Mo Tian Ge's body didn't move, 'how did you recognize that I'm a cultivator?'"

  The innkeeper's face was astonished: "Isn't the immortal a local?"

  "Huh?"

  The stout shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and smiled as he explained, "We coastal people can tell at a glance that the immortals living among us are different from ordinary people. The bearing of an immortal is elegant and refined, ethereal and otherworldly - it's unmistakable!"

  "Oh, I see." Mo Tian Ge nodded, "I'm indeed not a local."

  "Oh dear, it's rare to see a fairy from afar! Today, whatever the fairy eats and drinks, we'll cover everything for free!"

  Mo Tian Ge gently shook his head: "I'm not here to eat or drink, I just want to ask the boss for some information."

  The next update... should be tonight...
