Chapter 442: Succubus (12)
She practiced for a month but couldn't even lift her sword. Moreover, her cultivation level was really low, and she couldn't absorb any spiritual energy at all. The elder who taught the new students swordsmanship was so angry that he almost went bald. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. After all, this was a Heavenly Spiritual Root. All spiritual energy was like the wind passing by without a trace. It couldn't be retained at all. Only with a long period of extremely abundant spiritual energy could one embark on the path of Qi cultivation.
It's a pity that the world today is so devoid of spiritual energy.
Their Mingyuan Sect is already blessed with extraordinary advantages, being a place where all the spiritual energy in the world converges, yet even that cannot change the constitution of a person with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Finally, Wen Wan stood to the side, brandishing a wooden sword and performing tricks. When she got tired, she would look at books on formations or medicine. The sword cultivator elder didn't care, since she was not really going to master it. At least she wasn't wasting her time; she was doing something worthwhile.
However, gradually, the sword cultivator elder discovered that Wen Wan had stopped reading books and started writing storybooks instead.
He created all sorts of strange things, and even wrote a story featuring Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan as the protagonist, which corrupted the other female disciples.
When Elder Jianxiu saw it, he was furious and started to complain. As a result, Elder Qiyuan and Elder Yuanhui both gave him a few words of criticism, saying, "If you want to write, write it secretly and anonymously. You're being so open and aboveboard. Aren't you going to be punished?"
Wen Wan understood.
So he started writing in private and even adopted the pen name July.
They shifted to offline promotion and made a fortune.
...
Spring came and autumn went, and before long, Wen Wan had been staying at Mingyuan Sect for half a year.
The female protagonist still hasn't encountered any of the little spirit beasts that the male protagonist's soul has transformed into. When she asks the system, the system can't say anything either.
Finally, the system suggested, "Host, you should stay away from the male lead so you can keep track of the plot at all times."
Wen Wan: "How could a mere freshman like me possibly get close to a Celestial Venerable who never even leaves his house? You're giving me far too much credit."
System: [We need to broaden our horizons; there's nothing we can't do. The male lead lives in such a huge palace; does he really need his disciples to clean it? Make the beds? He can't possibly do everything himself, can he?]
"You mean... I should become a nanny?"
System: [You might not be up to the task yet. After all, this is a job that every disciple of the Mingyuan Sect would love to take. It all depends on your competitiveness.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Afterwards, Wen Wan decided to give it a try. She first went to the elder in charge of the disciples. After learning that she was going to serve the Immortal Venerable, the elder's face showed the words: "Just as I thought."
"The quota for disciples who want to work in the Hall is full, and there are no vacancies in the near future. You can get on the waiting list, and I will contact you when a vacancy becomes available."
"How many people are ahead of me in line?"
The elder said, "Three or four hundred, I guess."
Wen Yan: "..."
That would take forever.
Wen Wan left and began to gather information about the male protagonist. Because she earned money by writing novels, she learned about countless rumors about Gu Yuan from various channels.
She even knew which leg people liked to stick out first when taking a shower.
Unfortunately, this person had no desires, no material needs, and no weaknesses.
Unable to complete the game.
Forget it, Wen Wan gave up on the spot. Anyway, there was no rush. She could figure out a solution later.
Who would have thought that such an opportunity would come so quickly? The Gan Palace was actually recruiting people, specifically array masters and pharmacist disciples. What could Wen Wan think? Of course, she signed up immediately. It was as if even God was helping her. Others had one advantage, but she had both. The pay for one person could cover the work of two. Her competitiveness was simply outstanding.
Wen Wan soon arrived at the registration location and found a huge crowd of people, including not only countless senior sisters and brothers, but also some sword cultivators whose majors were clearly unrelated to the field.
Wen Wan asked a sword cultivator senior brother curiously, "Isn't the requirement to be a formation master or a pharmacist? Senior brother, do you understand pharmacology and formations?"
Senior: "You don't understand?"
"Then why did you come?"
"That's Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan! If I could go in, I'd be willing to start learning from scratch. Just one word of guidance from him would be more beneficial than ten or a hundred years of my own cultivation."
Wen Yan: "..."
A female senior student said, "This is my 38th time applying. I hope I can be selected."
Wen Wan sighed, the competition suddenly became so fierce. She recognized this senior sister; she was a senior sister from the Tianji Sect, with a much higher cultivation level than her, and she was also an array master.
After a long wait, it was finally Wen Wan's turn. She filled out a registration form and then went into a room.
It's understandable that we didn't see Gu Yuan; how could Gu Yuan possibly handle such a trivial matter personally?
The elder who received Wen Wan's information first looked at her self-introduction. In fact, he didn't need to look at it to know that Wen Wan met the requirements. After all, this freshman had made a name for herself in the freshman competition, and apart from her qualifications, she completely met the sect leader's requirements.
They understand formations and are also knowledgeable in pharmacology.
Why did you enter the Gan Temple?
Wen Wan: "I actually came here to realize my dream. I grew up listening to the stories of Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan at the foot of the mountain. I have always admired him. He is like a father to me and makes me feel sincere respect. I entered Mingyuan Sect because of my father's last words before he passed away. He hoped that I could enter Mingyuan Sect. Perhaps the Immortal Venerable has forgotten that he once saved my father. He is my second father."
Wen Wan's tears began to flow, determined to move herself and others with her story.
"He always wanted to see the Immortal Venerable, but human lifespan is limited and he has no talent. I want to fulfill my deceased father's lifelong wish. I want to see the Immortal Venerable and express my deep gratitude to him. Although the Immortal Venerable has saved millions of people, I am as insignificant as dust. But I am willing to serve the Immortal Venerable with my whole life."
The elder on the other side was somewhat moved.
"It's you. Pack your things and move to the Gan Temple. You have this kind of heart, and you are a very pure and filial person."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Is it that simple?
Isn't this too easy?
Wen Wan looked at the elder with emotion, "Really? Thank you, Elder. I will definitely work hard and never make any mistakes, and I will not cause any trouble for the Immortal Venerable."
After leaving the room, Wen Wan happily went back.
Then he shared the good news with Qi Feng and Li Sha. Qi Feng looked at his young lady with some worry, but with Li Sha there, it was not appropriate for him to say many things. Li Sha was also very happy, "A Yuan, you are really amazing. That is Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan! I really want to meet him."
Wen Wan patted Li Sha on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you see Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan."
It's just a matter of time, nothing serious.
After Li Sha left, Qi Feng was still there. "Miss, are you really going to the Imperial Palace?"
Wen Wan: "What's wrong?"
Qi Feng sighed, "Miss, have you forgotten your identity? Although we have something to cover our demonic energy, Gu Yuan is not an ordinary cultivator. If he discovers your true identity, we're doomed, and you'll be in danger."
Wen Yan: "..."
Suddenly, it dawned on her. She was so focused on getting close to the male lead and creating plot twists that she completely forgot she was still a little witch. If she were discovered, she'd probably be annihilated, or worse, she might not even be able to die.
"Is there any other way? How can I prevent anyone from discovering my identity? Should I just refuse?"
Chiffon: "I think it's okay."
The next day, Wen Wan went to find the elder and her first words were: "Elder, can I not go to the Gan Hall?"
The elder was very surprised. "Why?" After all, this disciple had been crying and pleading to serve the Immortal Venerable just the day before. How could he suddenly change his mind after only one night?
"I don't think I'm up to the task. I'm a newcomer, my skills are lacking, and there are many things I don't understand. I'm worried that I won't be able to serve the Immortal Venerable well. So, Elder, please find another capable disciple. Although I really want to repay the Immortal Venerable, I'm actually very sad to make this decision, but please agree, Elder."
Her eyes reddened as she spoke, "I don't want to go because I know my own limitations. There will be opportunities in the future. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation. This time, I will give the opportunity to other senior brothers and sisters."
The elder patted Wen Wan on the shoulder, "So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, you won't be able to see the Immortal Venerable anyway. The Immortal Venerable doesn't like people serving him closely, and he's almost always in seclusion. You can get used to it slowly."
Wen Yan: "..."
"I have already reported your name to the sect leader, so keep up the good work."
Wen Yan: "..."
In the end, she was still forced to enter the dry palace, and when she was carrying her bedding, she was in a state of complete collapse.
"System, if I'm exposed and I die, it'll all be your fault," Wen Wan said fiercely to the system.
system:【……】
It really wants to say, "You won't kick the bucket, that's your man."
But never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, everything will move in one direction.
Because she was chosen to go to the Gan Hall, both Master Qiyuan and Master Yuanhui were very happy. Before leaving, they specially called her over and told her to study hard with the Immortal Venerable, and not to neglect her studies even if she did not receive guidance.
As a result, Wen Wan received a lot of homework, which was absolutely terrible.
Upon arriving at the Gan Hall, a senior sister came to greet Wen Wan. She looked at Wen Wan with no particular attitude; it was impossible to tell whether she liked her or disliked her. She was as cold as ice and snow.
"Now that you've entered the Gan Hall, you must abide by the rules here."
Wen Wan nodded obediently, "I understand, senior sister. Could you please explain the rules here to me?"
"The most important rule is only one: do not try to disturb the Immortal Venerable by any means, otherwise you will be expelled from the Qian Palace immediately if you are found to have done so."
Wen Wan could understand this, after all, it wasn't uncommon for disciples to harass Gu Yuan before, and it didn't even distinguish between male and female disciples. It has to be said that the male lead's charm is undeniable.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely not cause any trouble for the Immortal Venerable."
After that, this senior sister told Wen Wan dozens of rules, which Wen Wan diligently memorized.
"Your task is to take care of the spiritual plants in Lianyuan and prevent them from being stolen and eaten by the pet spirit beasts raised by the Immortal Venerable. You need to use formations to protect these spiritual plants."
Wen Wan nodded. "The Immortal Venerable keeps pets?"
The senior student nodded.
Wen Wan said she understood, and that the spirit beast might be the male protagonist's soul. After all, according to the setting, the spirit beast formed from the immortal's soul is completely different from the immortal, and can even be said to be independent. For Wen Wan, this was simply a matter of getting something for free. She wanted to see what kind of thing that spirit beast was.
