Chapter 65: The Wordless Pill Manual

Shen Lian walked to the edge of Yan’Er’s bed and took a seat. Dry and sparse blonde hair, a body of skin and bones, and a long slash across her lovely little face. Questions rose within Shen Lian as her eyes lay upon poor Yan’Er. How much suffering had this girl gone through? She actually got tortured to this extent? Also, what’s her relationship with Mo Wuji, being able to rile him up that much?

Placing her hand on Yan’Er’s wrist, Shen Lian closed her eyes. Ten over seconds later, her eyes suddenly shot open, full of rage, even her hand began to tremble slightly from anger.

“How is she?” Mo Wuji frantically asked. Yan’Er was a stranger to Shen Lian, so this situation made him a little startled.

Shen Lian loosened her grip, taking in a deep breath to calm herself down before asking, “did she have very good quality spirit roots?” Mo Wuji immediately nodded, “yes, Yan’Er has supreme quality wood affinity spirit roots.” The mysterious green glow undoubtedly represented wood affinity. Having been at the Spring Immortal Gate Conference for so long, Mo Wuji gained a certain level of understanding towards the spirit root test.

An empathetic look appeared on Shen Lian’s face as the looked toward Mo Wuji and said, “In the world of cultivation, there’s a heinous method that some use: spirit roots transfer. Those people covet other’s better quality spirit roots and seek to transfer them to their own body to increase their own potential and talent for cultivation…” Before Shen Lian finished her sentence, Mo Wuji’s expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, staring at Shen Lian with a scary gaze, “You’re saying that Yan’Er was…” As though as she could read Mo Wuji’s mind, she nodded in agreement. “You’re right, Yan’Er had her spirit roots transferred away.”

“Those monsters…” a raging fire burned within Mo Wuji’s heart, and with a strike of his palm, Mo Wuji smashed the table into smithereens, yet not feeling any pain. Shen Lian sighed and carried on, “This sort of method is extremely underhanded. Normally someone who carry out the procedure choose mortals with no background or backers, because once news of such an incident spreads, his reputation will go to the dumps. On top of that, such a person would be condemned no matter where he goes.”

Finally Mo Wuji calmed down. His expression changed a few times over, then he asked, “if that’s so, why is Yan’Er still alive? And still be able to make it to the plaza of the Spring Immortal Gate Conference alone?” It was unbelievable that Yan’Er would still be alive after undergoing the spirit root transfer procedure.

Shen Lian furrowed her brows, “I’m puzzled too, logically even if Yan’Er was born a mortal, they wouldn’t leave her alive. Because the person who transferred the spirit roots will definitely not allow anyone to find out that he had done so. Now not only did they leave her alive, but also allowed her to escape. This doesn’t make sense.”

“So were Yan’Er’s spirit roots transferred away?” Mo Wuji suppressed the boiling anger rising within him. He had to remain calm. Rage and rashness won’t help him to exact revenge.

Shen Lian shook her head, “Extensive damage has been done to Yan’Er’s spirit channels, a sign that the transfer process failed. The success rate of this evil procedure is extremely low, usually not even reaching one percent.” Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji clenched his fists again, harshly speaking, “An evil procedure with less than a percent chance of success. There’s actually someone that still wants to do it, without giving a single hoot about the life or death of others.”

To this, Shen Lian replied faintly, “You’re too naive. Without a care about the life of death of others? Let me tell you, in the eyes of cultivators with spirit channels, mortals are just ants that they can crush whenever they will it. No matter how good the spirit root, as long as one does not cultivate, a mortal remains a mortal. Against someone who is only a mortal, even if the procedure had a 0.1 percent chance of success, I’ll bet that there’s still people out there who want to do it.”
