Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 10: No Strength, No Dignity
The pretty woman, who had been silent all along, suddenly interrupted the white-bearded man, "Li Yuanhua, she is not suitable for your Li Huo Sect. I have decided to take her as my closed-door disciple."
Li Yuanhua's voice stopped abruptly, like a duck being choked. After a moment, he shouted angrily, "Jing Feilan, what do you mean? You already have five disciples, and I don't have even one."
Jing Feilan remained calm and said, "After taking her as a disciple, I will not mention that matter again..."
Li Yuanhua's face turned crimson, and his neck was red with anger, but he couldn't utter another word in rebuttal.
Mo Wuji understood that Li Yuanhua had some leverage in Jing Feilan's hands.
After a full ten seconds, Li Yuanhua finally said, word by word, "Jing Feilan, I can agree to anything else, but I must accept this disciple. You can't be unreasonable. If I hadn't suddenly discovered her spirituality, would you have known of her existence?"
Jing Feilan said lightly, "She hasn't cultivated before, yet her brow is surrounded by spiritual aura. Even if you didn't bring her in for testing, I would have."
After saying this, Jing Feilan didn't explain further, but took out a paper-folded red bird and seemed to mutter to herself, "I'll send a message to the Li Huo Sect first..."
Seeing Jing Feilan's action, Li Yuanhua stomped his foot hard and said hatefully, "You're ruthless."
After saying this, he turned and rushed out, his footsteps quickly disappearing.
After Li Yuanhua left, Jing Feilan looked at Yan'er earnestly and said, "What's your name? Would you like to be my disciple and cultivate with me?"
Yan'er had taken care of Mo Wuji alone for so many years, and her mind was far more mature than her age. After that scene just now, how could she not know that she not only had spiritual roots, but also very good ones? This woman wanted to make her a disciple?
Although she was very happy to know that she had good spiritual roots, Yan'er was very clear that once she became this woman's disciple, she would have to leave young master.
People with spiritual roots had appeared in Raozhou City, but she had never heard of anyone with spiritual roots going to learn skills and bringing their family with them.
"My name is Yan'er, and I can't go to cultivate with you. I want to be with young master." Yan'er shook her head without hesitation.
"Do you know what immortals are? Do you know how many people crave such an opportunity but can't get it? Not to mention anything else, even your young master here is eager to cultivate, right? Once you enter the immortal sect, you will have a long lifespan, and you will dominate the mortals of the world." Jing Feilan patiently persuaded.
Yan'er did not answer Jing Feilan's words, but just shook her head.
Jing Feilan saw that the person in charge was Mo Wuji, and her gaze fell on Mo Wuji. Although it seemed very kind, the contempt deep down was undisguised.
"Yan'er has very good spiritual root aptitude. If she stays here, it will delay her. If she goes with me, one day she will become the immortal in your legends. Being with you is harming her. I don't think you will forcibly keep her, right? If you want what's best for her, tell her what she should do."
After Jing Feilan finished speaking, she stared straight at Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji took a breath. He was very unhappy with the way this woman looked at him. Yan'er's aptitude was very good, and she could cultivate anywhere. Didn't that Li Yuanhua want to snatch Yan'er as his disciple? Moreover, this woman's background was unknown, who knew what she would do with Yan'er.
If it was not good for Yan'er, Mo Wuji would rather have Yan'er by his side. He believed that with his knowledge and ability, he would not waste Yan'er's spiritual roots.
Originally, it wouldn't be a problem to apprentice to this woman, as long as this woman took them to see the sect and let him be sure that she wasn't deceiving Yan'er. But this woman had a domineering attitude and had no intention of explaining her identity, so Mo Wuji naturally didn't want Yan'er to leave with a stranger.
"No need for this big sister to worry, Yan'er and I are doing well here. Girl, let's go..." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he pulled Yan'er's hand and was about to leave.
A murderous aura flashed in Jing Feilan's eyes, and she stepped diagonally in front of Mo Wuji and Yan'er, "You are selfish for keeping Yan'er."
Mo Wuji sneered, "What I do with my own family has nothing to do with you, does it?"
Yan'er wasn't completely ignorant, and she felt Jing Feilan's imminent anger, so she quickly said, "This elder sister, can my spiritual roots be transferred to young master? If so, I..."
"Go..." Before Yan'er could finish her sentence, Jing Feilan grabbed her arm and took her away.
"Young master..." Yan'er's scream came, and Mo Wuji felt as if his heart had been dug out, and he felt a sense of emptiness.
When he rushed out, where were Yan'er and Jing Feilan's shadows?
"Bang!" Mo Wuji punched a wooden frame beside him, and blood flowed down the wooden frame, but he didn't feel any pain.
This was the first day he came to this world, and he had repeatedly felt his helplessness and weakness. The advantage he had when negotiating with Lu Jiujun before was now gone. Here, without strength, there is no dignity.
……
A day later, Mo Wuji hid this frustration deep in his heart and decided to go to Dan Han Alchemy.
Dan Han Alchemy, once the first-class alchemy workshop in Cheng Yu Country, now has only one shop and one workshop.
Mo Wuji asked several people before he found the Dan Han Alchemy workshop in a remote street.
Lu Jiujun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Mo Wuji coming, he greeted him with a big laugh and led Mo Wuji into the workshop.
"Old Lu, your Dan Han Alchemy is really not small, I almost didn't find it." Seeing the dilapidated situation of Dan Han Alchemy, Mo Wuji was still a little disappointed.
Because he had no strength, he had to hide what happened yesterday in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, Mo Wuji still desperately wanted to cultivate. In his previous life, he had studied medicinal liquids that could expand meridians. If meridians could be expanded, who could say that people without spiritual roots could not use medicinal liquids to expand spiritual roots?
It was because he had this lucky thought that Mo Wuji hoped to get a better laboratory so that he could experiment with expanding spiritual roots with medicine. Dan Han Alchemy in this situation obviously could not have a very good laboratory.
Lu Jiujun smiled awkwardly, "Brother Mo, besides this workshop, we also have a store in Dan Han Alchemy. Although the store is not big, it is still in a prosperous area. Moreover, my workshop is not as small as it looks on the surface. There is also a large courtyard behind it."
Mo Wuji nodded and did not continue to talk about this matter. In fact, he was also clear that if Lu Jiujun didn't believe in him, probably no one else would be like Lu Jiujun, taking out 50% of the shares for him to join.
"Old Lu, you also know my previous situation. Although I know about alchemy, I am not very clear about market demand. Can we talk about it first?"
Lu Jiujun generously waved his hand, "Brother Mo, even if you don't say it, I will talk to you about this. Please come inside first."
Following Lu Jiujun up to the second floor of the workshop for research, Mo Wuji saw more than a dozen fairly new machines placed on the work table. Mo Wuji had not been exposed to the technological products of this world, and he was not very clear about the performance of these machines.
Seeing so many machines placed in this small space, Mo Wuji had a higher opinion of Lu Jiujun. Obviously, Lu Jiujun also believed that researching new varieties was the foundation for Dan Han Alchemy's revival. From the window on the second floor, Mo Wuji also saw the courtyard behind, and it seemed that Lu Jiujun was right. There were some houses around the courtyard, and the environment was fairly quiet. This made Mo Wuji very satisfied, as it was suitable for researching his new medicine.
Looking at these machines, a trace of loss flashed in Lu Jiujun's eyes, and then he cheered up and said, "Brother Mo, these machines are the most valuable things in my Dan Han Alchemy now."
Mo Wuji nodded, "I can see that."
