Although Ding Bu'er was worried about Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji still saw the joy in his eyes that he was trying to suppress.

"Were you selected by a cultivation sect? Congratulations." Judging from Ding Bu'er's expression, Mo Wuji knew that Ding Bu'er had succeeded in the Immortal Door Selection Competition.

Ding Bu'er, suppressing his inner excitement, said, "Yes, I was selected by the Hou Tu Sect, and I'm even an outer disciple. Wuji, if your spiritual roots aren't good, why don't you come with me to the Hou Tu Sect..."

Mo Wuji waved his hand, "No need, I might go to the Wuhen Sword Sect."

He wouldn't listen to Shen Lian and leave this place completely. He had to find a cultivation sect to join. He was different from other ordinary roots; he was an ordinary root that could cultivate.

And more importantly, once he left the cultivation sect, he might never be able to save Yan'er again.

"Is Yan'er alright?" Although Ding Bu'er was happy for himself, he also understood Mo Wuji's current mood.

Mo Wuji sighed, "She's seriously injured. After I get to the Wuhen Sword Sect, I'll find a way to save her. After you go to the Hou Tu Sect, focus on your cultivation and don't worry about me."

"I definitely will. I'll be staying at the Hou Tu Sect's residence today. One day, we'll meet again. I believe that by then, whether it's you, Brother Zhenyi, or Thirteenth Sister, we'll all have different opportunities," Ding Bu'er said forcefully.

He was just a small outer disciple now and couldn't make any promises to help Mo Wuji save Yan'er. He had made up his mind that once he had a way to help Yan'er, he would go to the Wuhen Sword Sect to find Mo Wuji.

"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about me." Mo Wuji knew that this was a life-changing opportunity for Ding Bu'er, perhaps his only one. After all, he hadn't tested his meridian expansion potion on anyone else, so it was still uncertain if it would work. Besides, even if it did work, it would be better for Ding Bu'er to join a sect than to follow him around. Now, he himself had to find a sect to learn from.

"Oh, right, Wuji, I heard something just now. The Ji Jian City's residence seems to have been suddenly attacked, and many slaves escaped. I heard that the disciples of Ji Jian City are still looking for the escaped slaves. Did Yan'er escape from Ji Jian City? You have to be careful."

"Ji Jian City?" Mo Wuji's eyes narrowed. It was very likely that Ding Bu'er's guess was correct. Did Yan'er escape from the Ji Jian City's residence? Then, the people who attacked the Ji Jian City's residence might have deliberately released those trapped slaves, with the intention of exposing Ji Jian City's spiritual root transfer.

But why did Ji Jian City bring these prisoners to participate in the Immortal Door Selection Competition?

"Do you know, after you left, another top-grade spiritual root appeared, a top-grade metal spiritual root. It's the young city lord of Ji Jian City, Dong Lun. Strangely, Dong Lun, who came from Ji Jian City, joined the Tianji Hall instead," Ding Bu'er said in a lowered voice.

Top-grade spiritual root, spiritual root transfer, Ji Jian City...

Mo Wuji's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fist. At this moment, he was almost certain that Yan'er's spiritual root was the result of a failed transfer by Ji Jian City. Yan'er's spiritual meridians were also destroyed by Ji Jian City.

Why bring those prisoners to Chang Luo? It was simple: the young city lord of Ji Jian City, Dong Lun, wanted to participate in the Immortal Door Selection Competition. However, his spiritual root transfer had not been successful. In order not to delay the Immortal Door Selection Competition, he simply brought many owners of top-grade spiritual roots to Chang Luo for transfer.

His top-grade metal spiritual root was obviously transferred from the owner of a top-grade spiritual root.

"Ji Jian City..." Mo Wuji firmly engraved these three words in his heart, placing them alongside Jing Feilan. He vowed deep in his heart that if one day, he, Mo Wuji, could reach the peak, the first thing he would destroy would be Ji Jian City, and the first people he would kill would be Dong Lun and Jing Feilan.

"Wuji, although we suspect that Yan'er was harmed by Ji Jian City, don't act rashly. Ji Jian City is not like that fat merchant; they could blow us away with a single breath," Ding Bu'er quickly cautioned, worried that Mo Wuji would act recklessly.

"Don't worry, I know. You go back to the sect first; I'm going to the Wuhen Sword Sect." Even if Ding Bu'er didn't say it, Mo Wuji wouldn't be foolish enough to seek revenge on Dong Lun now.

Ding Bu'er took out a leather bag and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, this leather bag contains the egg of that Hai Yi Leopard. Now that I've been selected by the Hou Tu Sect, I definitely won't need it. With my status as an outer disciple, I probably can't afford to raise such a demonic beast anyway. You take it; maybe you can use it."

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Mo Wuji didn't refuse. If he were alone, he wouldn't want this Hai Yi Leopard egg. If Ding Bu'er couldn't use it, he could use it to exchange for cultivation resources. But now he had to accept it. No matter what, he had to join the Wuhen Sword Sect.

……

The Immortal Door Selection Competition was a huge event for all ordinary people, a moment to leap over the dragon gate. But for the various cultivation sects, this was just an ordinary moment to recruit disciples.

Even if ordinary people valued the Immortal Door Selection Competition, this event only lasted two days.

There seemed to be some deep-seated traces of Yan'er. Yan'er didn't reject Mo Wuji's care, but occasionally unconsciously called out "Young Master" and then remained in a confused state.

The next day, Mo Wuji covered Yan'er with clothes and carried her on his back. At the same time, he checked out of the Tian Luo Inn and left with his alchemy machine.

Even if the Wuhen Sword Sect didn't accept him, he had to leave Chang Luo City.

……

Although the Wuhen Sword Sect was a Earth-grade sect, it was just one of the lower Earth-grade sects, so the location of the Wuhen Sword Sect's residence was relatively remote.

"Brother Mo..." Mo Wuji had just arrived outside the Wuhen Sword Sect's residence when he heard Qin Xiangyu's surprised shout.

"What a coincidence." Mo Wuji was also very happy. He was worried about not being able to find someone to introduce him, whether he could join the Wuhen Sword Sect with just a sign. He didn't expect to see Qin Xiangyu at the entrance of the Wuhen Sword Sect.

At this moment, Qin Xiangyu was wearing beautiful outer disciple attire, with a long sword at her waist. Combined with her unparalleled figure, she was simply an eye-catching fairy descended to earth. If you only looked at the current Qin Xiangyu, you would never have imagined that just a few days ago, she was still a servant sleeping in a dormitory.

Qin Xiangyu said happily, "Yes, it's really a coincidence. I'll take you in to register."

Mo Wuji wasn't someone with low EQ. As soon as Qin Xiangyu said this, he knew that this wasn't a coincidence, but that Qin Xiangyu had been waiting for him here. Because the various sects would leave Chang Luo tonight, if he wanted to become an outer disciple of the Wuhen Sword Sect, he had to come here before tonight.

"Thank you. You're an outer disciple now, and I'm at most a menial disciple. In the future, just call me Wuji or Junior Brother." Although Mo Wuji hadn't joined the sect yet, he knew that menial disciples had no status in the sect at all. Compared to outer disciples, their status was worlds apart.

Qin Xiangyu said seriously, "No, Brother Mo, you and Brother Yuan are both true heroes. I called you Brother back then, and I won't change my mind because of this. No matter how far I can go in the future, no matter if Brother Mo is a menial disciple in the future, you will always be my brother in my eyes."

In that situation on the ship, being able to protect her without regard for the red-clothed man's identity, like Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi, she didn't lose out by calling him Brother. Moreover, she had personally seen Mo Wuji outsmart the red-clothed youth with an extraordinary background. Not many people could do this.

That was also why she tried to get a menial disciple sign to give to Mo Wuji. Besides repaying his kindness, she also wanted to befriend Mo Wuji. Even if this kind of person's spiritual roots were a little poor, they wouldn't be too ordinary.
