Shen Lian walked to Yan 'Er's bed and sat down. When she saw Yan' Er's sparse and dry yellow hair, her skinny wrist, and her face that was cut by a knife, her heart was filled with pity. How much pain did this girl suffer? Was she tortured to this state?
She wondered what relationship she had with Mo Wuji to make him so anxious.
Shen Lian placed her hand on Yan 'Er's wrist and closed her eyes. In just ten seconds, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with anger, and even her hands were trembling slightly.
"How is it?" Mo Wuji's tone was equally anxious. Shen Lian and Yan 'Er did not know each other, and this situation made him panic.
Shen Lian released her hand and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then asked, "Did she have good spiritual roots previously?"
Mo Wuji immediately nodded, "Yes, Yan 'Er had high grade wood spiritual roots previously."
The green light was undoubtedly wood spiritual roots. After watching for so long at the Spring Immortal's Gate, Mo Wuji had a certain understanding of the test for spiritual roots.
Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji sympathetically and said, "In the cultivation world, there is an extremely vicious method, and that is to transfer spiritual roots. They want to transfer other people's better spiritual roots to their own, to increase their own cultivation potential and talent … "
Before Shen Lian could finish, Mo Wuji's expression changed. He suddenly stood up and stared at Shen Lian in shock, "You mean Yan 'Er …"
Shen Lian knew what Mo Wuji was thinking, and she nodded, "You're right, Yan 'Er had her spiritual roots transferred."
"Bastard …" Mo Wuji slammed his palm on the table, causing it to shatter. Even so, he did not feel any pain.
Shen Lian sighed and said, "This method is extremely vicious. Usually, the person who uses it is a mortal with no background or foundation. They would not dare to touch someone with a solid background. This is because the moment this gets out, the person who uses this method would have his name tarnished. Not only that, this kind of person would be a rat that everyone wants to beat up no matter where they go. "
Mo Wuji calmed down, and his expression changed a few times before asking, "If that's the case, why is Yan 'Er still alive? How could she come to the Spring Immortal's Gate alone? "
He didn't believe that Yan 'Er would be able to survive after having her spirit root transferred by someone else.
Shen Lian also frowned and said, "I also find it strange. Logically speaking, even if Yan 'Er was born a mortal, they would not leave her alive. This was because the person who had transferred his Spirit Root would not allow anyone to know that he had transferred his Spirit Root before. Now, it seems that not only did they leave someone alive, they even let him escape. This doesn't make sense. "
"Then was Yan 'Er's spiritual roots transferred away?" Mo Wuji completely suppressed his anger. He needed to remain calm.
Anger and impulse would not help him succeed in his revenge.
Shen Lian shook her head, "Yan 'Er's spirit channels have all been destroyed. Clearly, the transfer had failed. The method of transferring one's Spiritual Root is vicious, and the success rate is very low. Generally, the success rate is less than one percent. "
Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly and said harshly, "A vicious method with less than a 1% success rate is actually used by someone who doesn't care about the lives of others."
Shen Lian said lightly, "You're too naive. You don't care about the lives of others? Let me tell you, in the eyes of cultivators with spirit channels, mortals are simply ants that can be killed easily. No matter how good one's spiritual roots are, as long as one doesn't cultivate, they are still mortals. Against mere mortals, there's no need to talk about a 1% success rate. Even if it was a 1% success rate, there would still be people willing to do it. "
At this point, Shen Lian seemed to have thought of something and said, "No matter how Yan 'Er escaped, you have to leave this place as soon as possible. It's best that you don't participate in the final round of the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference. Actually, there's a huge difference between a service disciple and an outer disciple. After becoming a service disciple, you will realise that it's no different from not joining a sect at all. "
Mo Wuji knew that Shen Lian was right, but with Yan 'Er in such a state, where could he go? Chang Luo was a big city after all. If he stayed here, he would have a higher chance of curing Yan 'Er.
"Senior apprentice sister Shen, I would like to ask if Yan 'Er can be cured. Even if I can't restore her destroyed spirit channels, can she recover? "Mo Wuji asked. This was what he was most concerned about.
Shen Lian shook her head sympathetically, "Her condition is very difficult to cure. Her spirit channels have been destroyed, and her body's foundation has deteriorated greatly. Even my father can't cure her. I think … being able to live for another ten years is already very impressive. "
In reality, Shen Lian estimated that Yan 'Er could only live for another three years. It was just that she saw how much Mo Wuji cared about Yan' Er, so she said ten years to comfort him.
"I must cure Yan 'Er." Mo Wuji seemed to be saying this to Shen Lian, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.
Shen Lian's father was an Earth Pill Refiner, and even if he couldn't cure Yan 'Er, what about a Heavenly Pill Refiner? Xing Han Empire didn't have Heavenly Pill Refiners, but other places didn't have them?
If there weren't any, he would learn pill refining himself.
"Senior apprentice sister Shen, I know that my request will put you in a difficult position. I want to follow you and beg your father to teach me pill refining …" After Mo Wuji made up his mind, he immediately stood up and bowed to Shen Lian.
If not for Yan 'Er, he definitely wouldn't have begged Shen Lian like this. He knew that if Shen Lian could bring him along, she would have already suggested it. Moreover, Shen Lian's senior apprentice brother, Wu Jingwu, was not an easy person to get along with.
Indeed, Shen Lian said with a troubled expression, "I'm afraid this will be very difficult. My father will not accept you as a disciple, and he will not teach you pill refining just because you know me. So, I can't bring you along. "
Shen Lian's heart was filled with bitterness. If her father was so easy to talk to, she wouldn't have snuck out. Mo Wuji's words were directed at her. If it was anyone else, they would probably laugh their teeth off. If Mo Wuji said these words to her father, she was a hundred percent sure that Mo Wuji would not live to the next moment. Her father would immediately kill Mo Wuji.
Because of this, she would definitely not bring Mo Wuji to beg her father to learn pill refining. That would be truly harming Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji's face was filled with disappointment. He also knew that his request was a little too much.
The two fell into an awkward silence. After a while, Shen Lian seemed to recall something. She took out a thin book from her bosom and passed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "This should be a pill manual. I bought it from a street stall in the city square by chance. But after I opened it, there were no words. Maybe if I soaked it in some medicinal liquid, the words would appear. I tried many methods, but to no avail. Take it and try your luck. What if you succeed? Pill manuals can't be bought. If it really is a pill manual, you must remember not to let anyone know that you have it. "
She did not find this book from a street stall. When she left home, she secretly stole it from her father's study. She tried everything she could, but she couldn't make the words appear on the pill book. Now that Mo Wuji wanted to learn pill refining, she decided to give this wordless pill manual to Mo Wuji.
"Thank you senior apprentice sister Shen. Whether it's a pill manual or not, Mo Wuji will definitely repay you in the future." Even though Mo Wuji did not know that pill manuals could not be bought, he could tell from Shen Lian's tone that this pill manual was very precious.
The thin book that Shen Lian gave him could very well be a pill manual. On the cover, there was the shadow of an ancient pill furnace.
"This is all I can help you with. After the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference, I will be leaving Chang Luo to return home. Let's meet again." Shen Lian gave the unconscious Yan 'Er a sympathetic look before leaving the room.
Mo Wuji did not say anything. He just stood up and bowed. He and Shen Lian met by chance. Even though he helped Shen Lian, compared to what Shen Lian helped him, his help was negligible.
Kindness can't be repaid with words, but with actions. In the future, if he could repay her, he would. If not, Shen Lian would not care about how a mortal like him would repay her.
"Wuji …" Just as Shen Lian left, Ding Bu'Er rushed in.
