Chapter 437: Succubus (7)

That scene, it must be said, had a touch of redemption literature about it. Unfortunately, the original owner of the body was not a good person. In her eyes, Chiffon was just a toy she played with on a whim. She could have countless toys, but she would never invest her feelings in a toy.

However, chiffon cake became its most devoted follower.

Wen Wan found the key to the formation—the candy the original owner had given him. She took the candy, and in the next instant, everything shattered. Qi Feng also saw Wen Wan, "Young Master?"

"Okay, I'll take you out."

Wen Wan reached out her hand, and Qi Feng looked intently at her mistress. Then she reached out her hand, just like she had back then, and found salvation.

Qi Feng even thought that if the young lady asked him to die, he would not hesitate to give up his own life.

...

Then came the second one.

Li Sha.

Li Sha's life wasn't easy either. She had been bullied since she was a child, which made Wen Wan's blood pressure spike. Although she had sealed her bloodline, there were still many aftereffects, such as bad luck and people who lived with her for a long time getting sick.

Later, she didn't even dare to contact anyone until she met the acting sect leader, who then added a seal and successfully isolated her constitution. However, the acting sect leader did not know her identity.

The key to the formation lies with the acting sect leader.

Wen Wan quickly brought Li Sha out as well. She was originally going to come out too, but a sudden change occurred, and she was swept into a place where she saw a high platform with a bead on it. Wen Wan was instinctively attracted to the bead and picked it up. The bead was getting redder and redder, as if it was sucking her blood. If the system hadn't said that it wouldn't cause any harm and was recognizing its owner, she would have definitely thrown it away.

Why would a mere formation recognize her as its master? What about its original owner? Is it so fickle? Has her charm become that great?

But you might as well take advantage of it; it might come in handy someday.

Wen Wan resolutely endured the slight pain until the entire bead turned blood red, and the contract was completed.

Then Wen Wan withdrew the entire illusion, and in the blink of an eye, she saw many people around her.

Wen Wan waved her hand sheepishly, "Are you alright?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than an unfamiliar old man grabbed her wrist, startling Wen Wan.

"Little girl, has it recognized you as its master?"

Wen Wan nodded. "I didn't do it on purpose. It just insisted on recognizing me. I was forced to."

Elder Qiyuan's eyes were burning with desire. "Would you like to transfer to my sect and become my disciple?"

Wen Yan: "..."

She was already exhausted from just one course, and she really didn't want to think about having another mentor.

So she politely declined, saying, "Elder Qiyuan, I already have a master. Master Yuanhui treats me very well. Besides, I obtained this illusion array by chance. Actually, I have no talent at all. It's not worth Elder Qiyuan's efforts."

Elder Qiyuan: "You little girl, wait for me, I'm going to talk to Yuan Hui."

Then, with a whoosh, it flew away on its sword.

Wen Yan: "..."

There's no need for this, it really is unnecessary. She hopes that Master Yuan Hui can be more resolute and not give up his beloved disciple, otherwise she really will turn evil.

Wen Wan walked over. Qi Feng had woken up, but Li Sha was still asleep and was being supported by Qi Feng.

"Is she alright?"

Chiffon: "It's nothing, I'm just too tired, so I'm still fast asleep."

"That's good."

Wen Wan looked at the culprits and said, "Senior brother, we are so grateful to you this time. Otherwise, we would be doomed. The Mingyuan Sect is fair in its enforcement of the law and will not let us down, right?"

Looking at Qi Feng, Qi Feng took the recording stone and gave it to Wen Wan. Wen Wan handed it to her senior brother, saying, "Senior brother, this is the main story of their evil deeds. You must investigate it carefully. If no one set the fire, the Spirit Pool that distinguishes good from evil would not have reacted so violently. How did our Mingyuan Sect produce such scoundrels? And who provided them with a safe haven? Senior brother must find out everything."

"I understand, I will handle it. Our Enforcement Hall will definitely uphold the law impartially."

After saying that, he picked up the men and left.

Qi Feng looked at Wen Wan, "Miss, you..."

Wen Wan knew what he wanted to say. "You don't need to say it. I know. I saved you, and you protected me. We're already friends, right? Not master and servant. I'd rather be friends."

Chiffon: "Chiffon wouldn't dare."

"This is my order."

Chiffon: "Yes, Miss."

Wen Wan looked at Li Sha and said, "You should take her back first. I have to go back too, or Master will get angry."

She still had to go back and sow discord among her own master; she couldn't possibly be handed over to that Seventh Elder, she couldn't bear it.

This contract requires so much blood for just one illusion array. If you make this contract every day, you'll be bleeding out every day. That would be too tragic!

After Qi Feng left, Wen Wan immediately returned to her sect.

Then he saw his master and Elder Qiyuan chatting and drinking tea, seemingly enjoying a pleasant conversation.

Wen Wan quickly ran over, "Master."

Yuan Hui smiled and said, "You're back? You're not hurt, are you?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "This disciple is not injured. Master, what were you and Elder Qiyuan talking about?"

Yuan Hui: "Elder Qiyuan wants you to learn formations from him in your spare time."

"Master, I haven't even mastered alchemy yet, so I really don't have the ability to learn formations."

"But Master has already agreed."

Wen Wan: "Why did Master agree? Does Master not love his disciple anymore? Does Master despise his disciple? Waaaaah..."

Yuan Hui: "..."

"Of course your master won't abandon you. You only need to spend one hour there every day. Besides, your master is doing this for your own good. After all, we medicine cultivators are not as good at protecting ourselves as others. Many medicine cultivators have been taken away and imprisoned, unable to escape control for their entire lives. So, it's good to learn more life-saving skills."

Wen Yan: "..."

He looked at Elder Qiyuan and asked, "Is learning formations... really that difficult? If I don't have the talent, are you perhaps mistaken?"

Elder Qiyuan smiled and said, "Do you have a misunderstanding about yourself? You were able to gain the recognition of the formation and make it recognize you as its master on your first encounter with it? Do you know that many formation masters cannot make a formation automatically recognize them as their master in their entire lives? They can only force it to recognize them as their master, but the strength that such a formation can exert is much lower."

Wen Yan: "..."

Is that how it is? It sounds like she's really pretty awesome, but she's just cannon fodder! She just wants to do her missions well and prevent the story from ending badly; she doesn't want to stand out.

What's that saying again? With great power comes great responsibility.

She didn't want to risk her life when the battle between good and evil began; that was absolutely out of the question.

"Then I'll give it a try. If I can't learn it, then please don't scold me, Elder."

"Still calling him elder?"

Wen Wan decisively changed her address, "Master Qiyuan, this disciple pays respects to Master."

So Wen Wan suddenly had another master, which surprised her senior brothers and sisters. After all, in all their years in Mingyuan Sect, only their junior sister had ever had two masters and studied two different disciplines at the same time.

Wen Wan was taken to Tianji Sect by Elder Qiyuan, where she discovered that there were many more disciples, at least a hundred.

Qi Yuan asked everyone to gather first, and then introduced Wen Wan to everyone, "This is my newly accepted disciple, and also your junior sister, Wen Wan."

Wen Wan has a sweet smile.

One of the senior brothers asked, "But isn't Junior Sister Wen Wan a medicine cultivator?"

Qi Yuan: "She majors in pharmacology and minors in formations. She will study with you for an hour every day, so please help her as much as possible."

As expected, the moment Qi Yuan uttered those words, the disciples' gazes towards Wen Wan became complex, a mixture of surprise, doubt, anticipation, and delight...

Wen Wan felt a little nervous.

"Qiling".

A beautiful senior sister came out and said, "Master."

"From now on, you will cultivate with your junior sister and help her become familiar with the basics as soon as possible. Also, she has just signed a contract with an illusion array, so help her get used to controlling the illusion array as soon as possible."

Wen Yan: "..."

As expected, all the disciples looked surprised upon hearing this.

Wen Wan looked at Qi Yuan. This cheap master was definitely doing it on purpose. He said it on purpose to find a reason for accepting disciples so that it wouldn't seem like he was getting in through connections.

Elder Qiyuan left quickly, and Wen Wan was immediately surrounded.

They all started asking questions at once, "Did you really contract an illusion array?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"That was actually a coincidence, I'm not quite sure either." Wen Wan took out the bead, which emitted a lustrous light, and a small array was flowing inside.

Qi Ling: "No wonder Master wanted to take you in. Among us Tianji, there are no more than ten people who can obtain an active contract with the formation."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Okay, she does seem to have some impressive qualities, but she gets shy when she says it like that.

"Thank you all for taking care of me in the future."

After that, Qi Ling taught Wen Wan some basic things, but Wen Wan would always doze off, she was so stupid.

She doubted countless times whether she really had talent.

Then came the practical lesson, where she began to practice drawing basic formations. She failed seven times before she finally drew a basic formation.

The teacher who taught formations looked at her with a particularly complicated expression. Wen Wan was a little embarrassed. "I don't have much talent. I'm sorry to have troubled you, teacher."

The teacher smiled and said, "If you don't have talent, then I am truly just another ordinary person. You have only been learning formations for less than a week, and when I first learned these basic formations, it took me a full three months to master them."

Wen Yan: "???"

"It's fortunate that you're only here with me and no one else, otherwise your talent would attract too much attention. However, Wen Wan, I hope you will keep a low profile. I will teach you privately and not let outsiders know about your talent. Although our Mingyuan Sect is a prestigious sect, it is not without its unsavory practices, so it's always better to be safe than sorry."

Wen Wan bowed and said, "I understand, teacher. I will definitely keep a low profile."

She didn't want to cause trouble.

After all, her identity destined her to be someone who wouldn't be a righteous person.

"Let me see the formation you've contracted."

Wen Wan nodded, and then activated the formation with a thought. This was the advantage of an active contract, which could move according to the host's will.

"A level three illusion array, not bad, not bad." The teacher nodded and said, "Now I will teach you the basic control array techniques. Follow along with me carefully."

I studied all day long.

When she left, Wen Wan felt completely drained, her body extremely weak. She then listlessly went to the disciples' canteen. Since most of the new disciples had just begun their cultivation and couldn't abstain from grains, Mingyuan Sect had built a canteen for them, and it was all free. There was only one requirement: no waste was allowed, and waste would be punished.
