"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just as Mo Shang was sighing to himself, a knock sounded at the door.

Mo Shang came back to his senses and opened the courtyard gate. Standing outside was a White-Robed Woman—the very one who had previously chased Gu Qingzhou around with a blade.

The woman was named Su Ning. She was the Senior Sister of Sword Peak and also the Senior Sister of Falling Cloud Sect. Her cultivation had already reached the Return to Origin Realm, making her the strongest among the disciples.

"Senior Sister Su, is something the matter?" Mo Shang asked with a smile.

"By the Sect Master's order, I've come to deliver some things. Is Junior Sister Jiang here?" Su Ning asked with a smile.

"Shuyu, someone's looking for you," Mo Shang called into the courtyard after hearing this.

Jiang Shuyu walked over, and Mo Shang took the opportunity to introduce her. "This is Falling Cloud Sect's Senior Sister, Su Ning."

"Hello, Senior Sister Su." Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, her expression calm and without much reaction.

"Junior Sister Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. These are some cultivation resources the Sect Master asked me to give you." Su Ning smiled as she took out a storage ring and handed it to Jiang Shuyu.

"Thank you for the trouble, Senior Sister." Jiang Shuyu accepted the ring with a smile and thanked her softly.

"You're welcome."

Su Ning nodded. Then, as though recalling something, she added, "Oh, right. Your residence has already been built. It's next door. You can take a look, and if there's anything unsuitable, I'll have someone alter it."

"Next door?"

Hearing this, Mo Shang immediately walked out of the courtyard.

On the open ground beside the courtyard, a new residence had appeared at some unknown time.

"Good heavens, this lavish?"

Looking at the courtyard shimmering with spiritual light, Mo Shang was utterly dumbfounded.

"Come on, let's go inside and have a look." Su Ning pushed open the courtyard gates and led the two of them in.

After entering the courtyard and seeing its furnishings, Mo Shang grew even more shocked. He sucked in a sharp breath. "Hiss, those pillars are Millennium Azure Spirit Wood, aren't they? And those wall bricks..."

The entire courtyard, from its materials to its design, was exceptionally refined, combining beauty and practicality as one.

Every material used to build the house was a spiritual material. Not a single item was ordinary; even the tea table had been carved from a single piece of Spirit Jade!

"Stop marveling. If you had talent like Junior Sister Jiang's, the Sect Master would arrange the same for you..." Su Ning said with a smile as she watched Mo Shang's astonished expression.

"Uh, I think I still need to settle down and build myself up..."

Mo Shang was taken aback. He considered his own talent fairly good, but before Jiang Shuyu, he was the weakest of the weak—there was simply no comparison.

At eighteen, most people were still stuck in the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet Jiang Shuyu had already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. And that was without resources, while living as a Rogue Cultivator!

"Then you'll have to work hard."

Su Ning smiled again, then turned her gaze to Jiang Shuyu and asked once more, "Jiang Shuyu, take a look and see whether anything is unsuitable."

Jiang Shuyu looked around and found no major issues. She smiled and nodded. "Everything is quite good. Thank you, Senior Sister..."

"As long as you like it. I'll head back first, then. If anything comes up, you can come directly to the peak to find me..." With that, she gave the two of them a slight nod and left.

Su Ning had left, but Mo Shang had no intention of going. He leisurely reclined in a lounge chair nearby, picked up a spiritual fruit from the table, and took a bite. "Your place is much better than mine. How about we trade?"

Smiling in her eyes, Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly. "Alright. As long as I have it, I can give it to you."

"Uh, are you serious? You can give me anything?"

Her response completely threw Mo Shang off. He had only been joking, yet she had actually agreed—and agreed so decisively.

"With you, I've always been serious..." Jiang Shuyu said again.

"Then... polish my shoes. In a French accent." After thinking for a long time, Mo Shang suddenly blurted out.

Jiang Shuyu: ????

The smile in Jiang Shuyu's eyes vanished. She looked at Mo Shang with nothing but resentment.

Although she did not quite understand what that meant, her instincts told her it definitely was not something she wanted to hear...

"Well, then, I'll head back first..."

Seeing that things were going south, Mo Shang immediately chose to make a run for it. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot—along with the spiritual fruits on the table.

"Ah..." Looking at Mo Shang's departing figure, a trace of helplessness appeared on Jiang Shuyu's exquisite face as she let out a soft sigh.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month went by.

Thanks to the miraculous power of the Mediocre tag, Mo Shang's life remained as uneventful as ever that month. No one came looking for him.

Of course, there was one exception: Jiang Shuyu. Perhaps because they lived nearby, she came to see him every few days...

"Shuyu, don't you usually need to cultivate?" In the courtyard, Mo Shang placed a cup of freshly brewed tea before Jiang Shuyu and asked.

"I've always been cultivating. Cultivation does not necessarily require one to remain in meditation. Aren't you the same?" Jiang Shuyu looked at Mo Shang with some confusion.

During their recent interactions, she had never seen Mo Shang cultivate, yet she could sense his cultivation improving.

In Jiang Shuyu's eyes, Mo Shang himself cultivated every moment of every day. She did not understand why he would ask such a question.

"Ah, yes, that's indeed how it is..."

Mo Shang froze for a moment before replying, but inwardly, tears of old age were already streaming down his face. So, for real geniuses, AFK cultivation is just an ordinary skill!

Go ahead and activate that cheat—once it's on, not a word is said. After comparing it with Jiang Shuyu's cheat, Mo Shang finally realized that his own cheat was still far too weak!

"Oh, right. Have you seen Gu Qingzhou lately? It feels like I haven't seen him in a long time."

At that moment, Mo Shang remembered that cheat-user Gu Qingzhou. Ever since they returned from their previous mission, he had not seen him again.

"No." Jiang Shuyu shook her head slightly.

"That's strange. Could he still be in seclusion?" Mo Shang took a sip from his teacup, his face full of confusion.

However, just as Mo Shang was pondering this, a golden light suddenly shot into the heavens from Gu Qingzhou's courtyard. An incomparably sharp aura instantly enveloped the entire sect.

"Hm?"

Naturally, such a huge disturbance caught Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu's attention. They raised their heads and looked toward the golden light.

"That aura seems to belong to Fellow Daoist Gu." Jiang Shuyu sensed it briefly before speaking.

"He broke through? No, that can't be right. Even a breakthrough shouldn't cause such a huge commotion, should it?" Mo Shang looked thoughtfully at the golden light.

"It isn't a breakthrough. He has likely awakened some kind of special physique. This Fellow Daoist Gu is no simple person..." Jiang Shuyu said again, her gaze profound.
