Chapter 670: The Butterfly Slave (37)
"Junior Sister, why don't you try to condense a spirit seal too?" Senior Brother Chu Yao said. Wen Wan nodded and began to condense a spirit seal according to the teacher's instructions. Soon, she succeeded in condensing the first spirit seal. Wen Wan continued with the second one. Although she didn't want to compete for first place, Chen Zihan was just too annoying. Five seals were nothing! She had to let the other party know what it meant to be outmatched.
The second and third layers were quickly formed. Chu Yao and Lin Sheng stared intently at their junior sister, and the speed of the formation did not slow down. The fourth layer was also quickly formed. Meanwhile, Chen Zihan, who was looking at Wen Wan, was shocked and lost her focus. Finally, the sixth layer collapsed.
The elder also stood beside Wen Wan, watching her.
Wen Wan was already completely absorbed in it.
The fifth attempt was successful, which surprised even the elders. For someone who had never been exposed to spirit arrays before, being able to condense five spirit seals on the first attempt was already considered a very good talent.
Chu Yao and Lin Sheng, standing nearby, even breathed lightly, afraid of disturbing their junior sister.
Can we go to the sixth level?
After a while, the sixth one was successful.
Everyone looked over; the record for first place was seven.
Can Junior Sister break the record for first place? After the sixth one, the speed slowed down, but although the seventh one took a little longer, it was still successfully formed.
Wen Wan began to condense the eighth spirit array in one go. Almost everyone was watching, and even the elders were somewhat moved. If she could condense the eighth spirit array, Wen Wan would truly be a born spirit array master.
Although the eighth spiritual seal kept changing between disintegrating and solidifying, it eventually solidified, and the eighth spiritual seal was formed, leaving everyone stunned.
Chen Zihan: "Impossible!!!"
How is that possible?
How could Wen Wan possibly condense eight spiritual seals? How could this possibly happen?
This was already Wen Wan's limit. She felt that all her spiritual energy was being drained, and she was exhausted.
Then all the spiritual seals collapsed.
Wen Wan opened her eyes and found that everyone was staring at her, even the old man.
"What's wrong? These spirit seals aren't that difficult. If you give me a little more time, these ten will be a piece of cake." Wen Wan said with a smile, staring at Chen Zihan, whose face was ashen.
You still have to pretend to be cool.
Other disciples: "..."
Wen Wan is a devil.
This is supposed to be simple? Is this defying the heavens?
The elder quickly regained his composure and then had the other disciples continue practicing their spirit seals. Wen Wan was practically drained by the end of the morning, but she had become a little more proficient.
Wen Wan's lesson, which she had intended to keep low-key, ended up making her famous again.
Moreover, Elder Chen Lianhua found out about it, since the teaching elder was Elder Chen's subordinate.
"Eight spirit seals? You mean Wen Wan condensed eight seals on her first encounter with spirit seals?"
The elder nodded. "Yes, this disciple's talent is truly remarkable. Why did he go to Lin Yuan Peak? Isn't that a waste of his talent?"
Elder Chen Lianhua was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Let's continue to observe. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
He didn't want to think he had a problem with his judgment, but thinking about Wen Wan's behavior when she broke his disciple's formation at the freshman assembly, Chen Lianhua had a bad feeling and decided to go and chat with Lin Yuanzhan later to build a good relationship.
If Wen Wan is truly a genius in spirit arrays, it would be quite heartbreaking if he gave up on her.
Wen Wan had no idea that Elder Chen Lianhua had her eye on her.
Because the next day was the alchemy class.
The elder in charge of the alchemy class was a woman, and female elders were very rare in the Tianli Sect.
His appearance was gentle, and in fact he was. The early stages of the alchemy class were quite boring, consisting mainly of identifying various spiritual plants. Moreover, the alchemist's strictness was unparalleled.
Because it requires control of fire.
Those with a fire-attribute spiritual root have a natural advantage. Those without a fire-attribute spiritual root need to use external fire, which is extremely difficult and limits their progress. Some with great fortune can obtain special fire seeds that they can refine, thus compensating for their lack of a fire-attribute spiritual root.
However, it would take an unknown amount of time for students to identify all the spiritual plants, so the elders had the new students identify mostly common spiritual plants and those needed for the lowest-grade pills.
Alchemists are also classified into different levels.
The ranking system is similar to that of array masters, except that the level of an alchemist is determined by the texture of the pills they refine.
A first-level alchemist has one pill pattern, and so on. The fifth level is also a watershed. Countless alchemists spend their entire lives but cannot break through the barrier of the fifth level. Only after stepping into the sixth level can they truly make a name for themselves.
As freshmen, they certainly don't need to know that much.
Their graduation requirement for new students is to be able to refine a complete first-grade elixir.
It's difficult.
For many students, this is incredibly difficult, since very few people possess the fire elemental root.
After finally learning to identify the spiritual plants, they began to learn fire control, and encountered many accidents right from the start.
Some were so angry they almost burned themselves.
Some flames were so small that the flames didn't even last a minute.
The advantage of fire spirit roots became apparent; disciples with fire spirit roots were able to directly condense their first flame.
Wen Wan also obtained her own external fire, but when she tried to control it, she almost burned her hair.
Isn't this just making things difficult for her?
She was so scared when she saw the fire in her hand that she almost peed herself.
How dare they try to control the fire?
So after the first fire control class, Wen Wan could smell the barbecue smell on herself, and her hands were burned. Senior Brother Chu Yao and Senior Brother Lin Sheng also suffered a lot.
Thankfully, the elder knew about the healing elixir for them; otherwise, this class would have been too dangerous, with anyone who wanted to take it.
Dejected, Wen Wan went to Tianji Peak and complained to Gu Liuyun, "Do you think this is reasonable? Alchemy should be taught individually by fire-attribute disciples. Is this the kind of business we should be in?"
Although Wen Wan had applied the spiritual liquid to her hands, they still stung painfully.
"I have some healing medicine here. Use it, and you should be better in two days."
Wen Wan: "Thank you, senior brother."
Wen Wan took the elixir and began to apply it. Sure enough, the pain subsided instantly when she applied it to her hand.
"This medicine is much more effective than the elixir the elder gave me," Wen Wan said as she wiped the medicine. "Did you also study alchemy back then?"
Gu Liuyun nodded. "I've learned a little, but it's not something I'm good at, so I'm not much better than you."
"It turns out that even senior brother has areas he's not good at. I was thinking that if you were good at it, you could take my place in class. My hands are so beautiful, if they really get scars, I'll really get depressed."
Gu Liuyun looked at Wen Wan's hand.
It's very small.
It even looked like it could be held in one hand; it was so white, like snowflakes, that the burns on it seemed even more unsightly.
"I can help you next time. Although I'm not good at alchemy, I do know some of the basics."
"Really?" Wen Wan looked at Gu Liuyun with slightly red eyes, then grabbed Gu Liuyun's hand tightly. "Senior brother, you are simply my savior. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have been able to continue this class."
Gu Liuyun: "..."
Staring at his own hands, he said, "You should continue applying the medicine first."
Wen Wan realized her outburst of excitement and quickly withdrew her hand, saying, "Sorry, senior brother, I got too excited."
"fine."
So when it came to the alchemy class, Wen Wan asked Gu Liuyun to do it for her. And to be honest, it was a lie for the male lead to say he wasn't good at it. At least compared to the others, it went much more smoothly. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, the male lead didn't go too far and just passed with average satisfaction.
Wen Wan was no longer injured, but her two senior brothers, Chu Yao and Lin Sheng, treated every alchemy class like a funeral procession, and Wen Wan was powerless to help them.
Swordsmanship is Wen Wan's forte; she has a foundation in it, and even the elders think she is exceptionally talented.
It was time for the weapon crafting class.
Wen Wan wasn't supposed to go, but her master called her there, and lo and behold, she had absolutely no talent.
This disciple of Elder Lin Yuan, the first place winner of the freshman competition, is surprisingly not good at weapon crafting.
When the news reached Wen Wan's master's ears, Wen Wan was scolded by her master, "Although I don't expect you to be exceptionally talented, you can't be completely without talent, can you?"
Wen Wan: "Master, this really won't work. There's nothing I can do. I really tried my best."
Gao Linyuan: "..."
Good news! His disciple is very capable. He is excellent in swordsmanship, alchemy, and formations. Even that old geezer Chen Lianhua came to tell him about it.
The bad news is that his apprentice is completely clueless about weapon crafting.
With one class a day, Wen Wan was exhausted, feeling as if she had returned to the time of the college entrance examination. Moreover, every time get out of class ended, she wanted to shout: "Great, another day has passed!"
However, Wen Wan also discovered that Gu Liuyun was truly a polymath.
Although your greatest skill is swordsmanship, you excel at hunting in other areas as well. You are truly remarkable.
If it weren't for this outside help, Wen Wan would definitely go crazy.
...
Time passed day by day, and soon Wen Wan had been in Tianli Zong for a year. She asked Xin to investigate her master's whereabouts, but they found nothing.
What exactly is this other male protagonist doing?
Moreover, he hadn't contacted her at all, not even her partner, so Wen Wan had a bad feeling about where he was. It was all out of her control.
Since the last freshman orientation, the male and female protagonists haven't met, and thus haven't had the opportunity to get to know each other.
The female lead is still lurking in the Tianli Sect. Wen Wan also devotes some attention to the female lead's situation. After all, her target is Gu Liuyun, which will obviously erupt one day, and she has to be on guard.
Fortunately, Gu Liuyun couldn't leave Tianji Peak, and the other disciples couldn't enter Tianji Peak either. If it weren't for Elder Qian's powerful backing, she might not have been able to get close to the male lead.
Luckily, Elder Qian was a foodie, otherwise Wen Wan really wouldn't know how to capture his heart, gain his trust, and get the chance to get close to the male lead.
Soon, Wen Wan received another mission. What was most unusual about this mission was that it wasn't hers, but the male lead's. Wen Wan was genuinely surprised. Why did the sect leader suddenly agree to let the male lead leave to do the mission? Feeling that he wasn't up to any good, Wen Wan begged to go with him. Gu Liuyun couldn't resist her pleading, so he took her along, and the sect leader turned a blind eye.
