Chapter Nine, No Power, No Dignity

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

After saying this, he turned around and rushed out, his footsteps quickly fading away.

After saying this, Jing Feilan did not explain anything further, but took out a paper-folded red bird and seemed to murmur to herself, "I will first send a message to the Li Huo Sect..."

After Jing Feilan finished speaking, she stared directly at Mo Wuji

Lu Jiujun smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Mo, aside from this workshop, our Danhan Alchemy also has another store. Although the store is not large, it is located in a relatively prosperous area. Moreover, this workshop is not as small as it appears; there is a large courtyard behind it."

Mo Wuji inquired with several individuals in succession before finally locating the Danhan Alchemy Workshop situated on a secluded street

It is precisely because of this sense of luck that Mo Wuji hopes to obtain a better laboratory, allowing him to experiment with the medicine for expanding spiritual roots. Given the current situation of Danhan refining medicine, it is evidently impossible to have a very good laboratory

Lu Jiujun had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Mo Wuji approaching, he quickly greeted him with a hearty laugh and led him into the workshop.

A day later, Mo Wuji finally concealed this frustration deep within his heart and decided to first go to Danhan to refine medicine

Although she was very happy to know that she had a good spiritual root, Yan'er was well aware that once she became this woman's disciple, she would have to leave the young master

Following Lu Jiujun, Mo Wuji ascended to the second floor of the workshop to conduct research, where he saw more than a dozen relatively new machines placed on the workbench. Mo Wuji had not previously engaged with the technological products of this world and was not very familiar with the performance of these machines

There have also been individuals with spiritual roots in Raozhou City, and she had never heard of such individuals bringing their family members along when seeking to learn a craft

Mo Wuji nodded slightly, "It is evident."

After a full ten seconds, Yuanhua finally spoke word by word, "Jing Feilan, I can agree to other matters, but I must take this disciple. You cannot be unreasonable. If I had not suddenly discovered her spiritual nature, would you have known of her existence?"

Yan Er has taken care of Mo Wuji alone for so many years, and her maturity far exceeds her age. After witnessing the earlier scene, how could she not realize that not only does she possess a spiritual root, but it is also quite remarkable? This woman wants her to be her disciple?

Mo Wuji nodded slightly, choosing not to continue discussing the matter. In fact, he was well aware that if it were not for Lu Jiujun's trust in him, it was unlikely that anyone else would offer him a 50% stake to join, as Lu Jiujun had done.

Lu Jiujun looked at these machines, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said, "Brother Mo, these machines are currently the most valuable assets of my Danhan alchemy."

Yan Er possesses excellent spiritual roots and talents; if she remains here, it will hinder her progress. If she chooses to leave with me, one day she will become the immortal master of your legends. Staying with you would only harm her. I believe you would not want to force her to stay. If you truly care for her, then tell her what she should do

Seeing Jing Feilan's action from a distance, she stomped her foot forcefully and said resentfully, "You are quite something."

Mo Wuji sneered, "What does it have to do with you how I treat my own family?"

Bang! Mo Wuji struck a nearby wooden frame with a punch, blood flowing down the frame, yet he felt no pain at all

Haha... the white-bearded man laughed heartily, "I never expected that during my journey to Yuanhua, I would find such a talented disciple in this small place..."

Mo Wuji took a breath, feeling quite displeased with the gaze of the woman before him. Yan'er had excellent potential and could cultivate anywhere she went. Just now, that Li Yuanhua was eager to take Yan'er as his disciple, wasn't he? Moreover, this woman had an unknown background; who knew what her intentions were in taking Yan'er away

"My name is Yan'er, and I cannot go cultivate with you; I want to be with the young master." Yan'er shook her head without hesitation

Do you know what a celestial master is? Do you know how many people yearn for such an opportunity but cannot obtain it? Not to mention anyone else, even your young master at home must be very eager to cultivate, right? Once you enter the celestial gate, you will possess a long lifespan, and you will dominate all mortals in the world

Lu Jiujun, with a generous gesture, said, "Brother Mo, even if you do not mention it, I will discuss this matter with you. Please, come inside first."

Due to a lack of strength, he had no choice but to conceal yesterday's events deep within his heart. Deep down, Mo Wuji still harbored an immense desire to cultivate. In his previous life, he had studied elixirs capable of expanding meridians; if meridians can be expanded, who dares to claim that those without spiritual roots cannot use elixirs to develop spiritual roots?

The departure from the original state was akin to a drake with its neck grasped, its voice abruptly silenced. After a moment, he shouted angrily, "Jing Feilan, what do you mean? You already have five disciples, and I currently have none."

This is the first day he has come into this world, and he has repeatedly felt his own powerlessness and weakness. The advantages he had during the negotiations with Lu Jiujun have now completely vanished. Here, without strength, there is no dignity

Danhan Alchemy, which was once the premier alchemy workshop in the Chengyu Kingdom, now consists of only a single shop and one workshop.

Yan'er did not respond to Jing Feilan's words, merely shaking her head

Jing Feilan said softly, "She has not practiced, yet there is a spiritual aura surrounding her brow. Even if you do not bring her in for testing, I will."

Before Yan Er could finish her sentence, Jing Feilan grabbed her arm and took her outside

Old Lu, you are already aware of my previous situation. Although I understand alchemy, I am not very clear about market demand. Can we discuss this first

... ...

Originally, there was nothing wrong with taking this woman as a master, as long as she could take them to see the sect and assure him that she was not deceiving Yan'er. However, this woman had an aggressive demeanor and showed no intention of explaining her identity. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not want Yan'er to go with a stranger.

Li Yuan's face turned bright red, and even his neck was flushed with anger, yet he could not utter another word in rebuttal

If it is detrimental to Yan'er, Mo Wujin would rather have Yan'er by his side. He believes that with his knowledge and abilities, he will certainly not waste Yan'er's spiritual roots

Yan'er is not completely ignorant; she sensed the impending fury of Jing Feilan and quickly said, "This sister, may I ask if my spiritual root can be transferred to the young master? If so, I..."

When he rushed out, where were the shadows of Yan Er and Jing Fei Lan?

Jing Feilan realized that the dominant figure was Mo Wuji. Her gaze fell upon Mo Wuji; although he appeared quite amiable, the contempt lurking beneath was unmistakable.

The elegant woman, who had remained silent, suddenly interrupted the words of the white-bearded man, saying, "Li Yuanhua, she is not suitable for your Li Huo Sect. I have decided to take her as my closed-door disciple"

Old Lu, your Danhan elixir is indeed quite remarkable; I almost couldn't find it. Seeing the disheveled state of the Danhan elixir, Mo Wuji felt a tinge of disappointment in his heart

There is no need for this lady to worry, Yan'er and I are doing just fine here. Girl, let's go..." Mo Wuji said, pulling Yan'er's hand and preparing to leave.

After Yuanhua left, Jing Feilan eagerly looked at Yan'er and said, "What is your name? Will you be my disciple and cultivate with me?"

"Young Master..." The sound of Yan'er’s startled voice echoed, and Mo Wuji felt as if his heart had been ripped out, leaving him with a profound emptiness

In this not-so-large space filled with so many machines, Mo Wuji held a higher regard for Lu Jiujun. It was evident that Lu Jiujun also believed that developing new varieties was fundamental to the revival of Danhan's alchemy. From the window on the second floor, Mo Wuji could also see the courtyard behind, and it seemed that Lu Jiujun was indeed correct. Surrounding the courtyard were several buildings, and the environment was relatively quiet. This greatly pleased Mo Wuji, as this place was suitable for researching his new medicine.

Mo Wuji has come to understand that there are certain leverage points in Jing Feilan's hands regarding Li Yuanhua

Jing Feilan calmly said, "After accepting her as a disciple, I will no longer speak of that matter..."

The malevolent glint in Jing Feilan's eyes flickered and vanished as he stepped diagonally to block Mo Wuji and Yan'er, saying, "To keep Yan'er is selfish."
