Chapter 648: Butterfly Slave (15)
This was an escape technique she had practiced for so long. If there hadn't been so many people behind her, she would have already slipped away. Why bother running so hard? This guy is definitely a troublemaker. Wen Wan has to speed up her escape.
Having escaped the trouble, Wen Wan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
This world is too dangerous; everyone, human or ghost, wants to harm me.
“Sister, I could have easily taken care of him,” Xin said, not quite understanding why they had to run away.
Wen Wan: "How did you get thrown into the Abyss of Evil?"
"This is the human world. Keep a low profile. Anyone you grab on the street could be a cultivator. Do you want to be captured and sent to the Abyss of Evil again?"
Xin Lai shook his head. "No, no."
"Where did our master go? Why didn't he leave us any information? This world is so big, where should we look for him?"
Wen Wan didn't know either. If the male lead didn't want her to follow him, why did he give her a jade pendant? If he wanted her to follow him, why didn't he give her any information? It was really troublesome.
"Forget it, let's go to Tianli Sect first." Let's go see what's going on with Gu Liuyun first. After all, Gu Liuyun is also a male lead, half and half. Their fates are destined to be intertwined, so if we find Gu Liuyun, we will definitely find the male lead.
Xin Lai didn't understand the decision. "Why are we going to Tianli Sect?"
Wen Wan: "Of course it's for cultivation! Your master is so awesome! If I don't work hard to cultivate, how can I go to him? More importantly, Tianli Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world, and it is an enemy of the Demon Realm. Your master will definitely go to Tianli Sect to cause trouble, so we might as well wait at Tianli Sect."
...
After living at the foot of Tianli Sect Mountain for three months, it was time for Tianli Sect to recruit new disciples.
The number of people who came to Tianli Sect to participate in the selection of new disciples was so dense that there must have been several thousand people, which even Wen Wan found frightening.
"Xinlai, wait for me at the foot of the mountain."
She bought an inn so that Xinlai could gather information for her while also keeping her busy. After all, she couldn't take Xinlai to the Tianli Sect, since Xinlai was a demon and couldn't even get into the sect.
The first step is to select disciples.
A bridge.
The senior disciple of Tianli Sect said that this bridge can only be crossed by people under 30 years old and over 10 years old.
This screening eliminated one-fifth of the applicants, but there were still over a thousand people.
Next came the testing of spiritual roots.
In other words, it tests whether you have the talent for cultivating immortality. Spiritual roots are the most fundamental aspect of a cultivator.
Wen Wan was at the back of the line, while a dense crowd of people in front of her were being tested.
"System, is there anything wrong with my spiritual root?"
System: [Of course, no problem. Why do you think the Demon King chose you to be his butterfly slave and sent you to the Tianli Sect to complete a mission? If your spiritual roots weren't good enough, you wouldn't even get to see the male lead once you entered the Tianli Sect, since he's a core disciple.]
According to the system, even before becoming a butterfly slave, the butterfly slave was already an exceptionally talented individual. Only after becoming a butterfly slave could she better complete the mission for the Demon King.
Soon it was Wen Wan's turn, and Wen Wan placed her hand on the stone platform for testing spiritual roots.
I originally thought my spiritual root was quite good.
The stone platform did not react at all.
Wen Yan: "???"
“Another one without spiritual roots,” the disciple who was recording said, and was about to let Wen Wan leave when the stone platform suddenly moved and then cracked little by little.
Wen Yan: "???"
Wen Wan quickly withdrew her hand. "What's going on? Did you use too many people on this prop and it broke?" She felt like she was being framed. She hadn't done anything; it was definitely the stone's fault.
The disciple recording the message: "???"
"Perhaps. I'll have someone send another testing stone over. Please wait a moment."
Wen Wan nodded.
A few minutes later, a new stone was placed on it. This time, Wen Wan cautiously placed her hand on it gently. At first, there was no reaction, but after a few minutes, the stone platform cracked again.
Wen Yan: "???"
The disciple recording the message: "???"
The other people waiting for testing were also shocked.
"The quality of this is not good. Why don't you replace it?"
The disciple who was recording was dumbfounded and quickly contacted the elder. Soon an elder arrived, who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, but he was definitely older than fifty or sixty. People in the cultivation world are generally hard to tell from their appearance; they usually judge their age by their life force.
It's normal for some powerful figures who have lived for thousands of years to look like teenagers.
"Elder Qi, this testing stone has cracked. What's going on?"
Elder Qi glanced at Wen Wan, then examined the testing stone. "Go and get another one."
Soon a new testing stone was brought over.
"Young lady, try again."
Wen Wan is traumatized by this; she might not even be able to get through the door.
Elder Qi and the others watched helplessly as the stone cracked open again.
Elder Qi was somewhat surprised. The next second, a testing stone appeared in his hand. It was different from the cracked ones and looked much more advanced.
"Try again."
Wen Wan reached out and placed her hand on it again. The next second, the stone began to change color, quickly turning purple. At the same time, the stone showed signs of cracking again. Wen Wan quickly let go, thankfully it wasn't broken.
"Elder, the quality of your testing stone is quite good."
Elder Qi's face showed shock, and the others were also shocked. "Purple, it's actually the legendary Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root, and it's water attribute."
"What's going on with the system? Was it this powerful when Die'er came last time?"
System: [Of course not, Die'er has only a regular high-grade spiritual root.]
The division of spiritual roots in this world.
The grades are divided into common, low, medium, high, heavenly, divine, and super divine.
Divine and Super Divine grades are legendary levels, while Heavenly grade is only one in ten thousand.
The male protagonist is the legendary Divine Grade, but because he was split in two, he is only Heaven Grade. Nevertheless, he is still an unparalleled genius and is highly valued by the Tianli Sect.
In addition to grade, attributes are also categorized.
There are five basic elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as derived natural elements such as ice and lightning.
Elder Qi looked at Wen Wan and said, "Very good, continue the test."
The disciple who made the record noted down Wen Wan's spiritual root, and then the rest of the group continued.
After everyone had been tested, only over 500 people remained. Among them, more than half had ordinary spiritual roots, over 100 had low-grade roots, only 59 had mid-grade roots, and 7 had high-grade roots.
What Wen Wan was curious about was that none of the seven people experienced any stone cracking and passed through smoothly. Wen Wan felt that something was wrong with her; she was definitely not just a high-grade person. After all, none of the other high-grade people had caused such a commotion! She had to keep a low profile! Otherwise, if a real investigation revealed her identity as a butterfly slave, even the gods might not be able to save her.
