Open the Hidden Mountain route
The general Sect menu’s level-10 gate is not enough to enter every later region. First unlock Hidden Mountain and its Haven Astray story progress. The region’s access requirement is level 32; use the main quest rather than trying to climb into a locked story area.
The Mohist Hill clue begins with the storyteller at Incomparable Tavern in Kaifeng. Follow the route into the mountain and complete the Mountain Unveiled quest connected to Heron at the Cliff Pass. Her recommendation directs you to Equilibrium Hall.
Complete the Elder Stork handoff
- Track the sect clue or recommendation so its marker is active.
- Reach Equilibrium Hall in Mohist City through the unlocked story route.
- Set the clock to daytime if Elder Stork is unavailable.
- Speak to Elder Stork with the recommendation and finish the admission dialogue.
- Check Sects for Mohist Hill membership and the apprentice objectives.
If the marker points above or below you, use the city’s walkways and transport rather than judging distance only from the flat map. If admission is blocked, inspect Mountain Unveiled completion and your active sect before repeating unrelated building tasks.
Start with the apprentice tasks
Mohist Hill progression centres on research, mentorship and creations. Its weekly Research Value contributes to thesis publication and the sect’s wider research progress. Check your research screen before assuming an ordinary combat clear advances the requirement.
Apprentice advancement includes practical work choices. Examples include placing construction components, crafting Divinecraft: Warmth of Fire, or gathering Loodstone. Track the particular option you choose; completing a different discipline’s activity may not fill that objective.
Our recommendation is to use one available task to learn the workflow before crafting a large stockpile. Check the requested item, material cost and task counter together. This avoids spending Stamina on a similarly named item that does not count.
Check the crafting benefits and precepts
Members receive construction-related benefits, including more diagram and component capacity and enhanced Divinecraft. The non-aggression precept also restricts accepting Vendetta Bounties. Read that rule before mixing sect tasks with bounty hunting.
If your only goal is a purchasable Martial Art, first inspect Sects → Shop → View other sects → Mohist Hill. Shop browsing and joining are separate; buy only when the displayed item and access requirements match your goal.

Common questions
Why does the clue exist when I cannot reach Elder Stork?
Sect access and Hidden Mountain story access are separate gates. Progress the region and Mountain Unveiled, then follow the recommendation to Equilibrium Hall.
Must I join to inspect the Mohist shop?
No. Use View other sects in the Sect Shop and check the purchase conditions on the item you want.
