Mo Wuji was very satisfied with the position arranged by Wu Kai, and Qin Xiangyu was also happy for Mo Wuji when she learnt of this news.
The Traceless Sword Sect’s airship departed that night, which made Mo Wuji’s taut heart relax. His biggest worry was that he would be approached by Extreme Sword City before he even left Changluo.
It was certain that as long as the Extreme Sword City approached the Traceless Sword Sect, the Traceless Sword Sect would throw him out like rubbish.
In just a day’s time, the airship of the Traceless Sword Sect came to a halt. Mo Wuji was a miscellaneous disciple, so he followed behind Wu Kai and got off the airship.
The location where the airship stopped was a spacious plaza, and in front of the plaza was a staircase stretching up. Mo Wuji roughly estimated that there were at least four to five hundred steps here.
At the end of the steps, suspended as if a sharp sword had casually scratched out four big characters, Traceless Sword Sect. Even if Mo Wuji didn’t know anything about swordsmanship, he could vaguely feel a kind of Sen Sen sword aura.
After arriving here, the inner disciples and outer disciples recruited by the Traceless Sword Sect this time went up the steps first to enter the sect while attending the initiation ceremony. Qin Xiangyu didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to Mo Wuji before following those newly recruited disciples into the Traceless Sword Sect.
Only after all of these inner and outer disciples entered did Wu Kai lead the hundred or so miscellaneous service disciples up the steps. The miscellaneous servant disciples were not qualified to participate in the sect entry ceremony because miscellaneous servant disciples did not cultivate, they only did chores for the sect.
After crossing these four to five hundred steps, there was another huge plaza in front of them. In the middle of the square was a spacious marble passageway, and this passageway led directly to the main hall of the Traceless Sword Sect. On both sides of this spacious marble avenue, there were nine stone monuments erected.
Mo Wuji saw that on each of the stone monuments, there were some faint shadows, as if someone was dancing with a sword. However, upon closer inspection, it was not very clear.
The miscellaneous disciples were not allowed to walk down this spacious avenue in the centre, instead, they would take the paths on both sides to enter within the sect and then be assigned to various departments.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, this was still just a ground level sect, if it was a quasi heaven level sect, how grand would it be?
“Isn’t it grand?” A youth dressed in grey said with a heave in Mo Wuji’s ear.
The grey-clothed youth who spoke Mo Wuji knew, he was also an odd-job disciple recruited this time, called Xian Ziqian. Unlike Mo Wuji, he had a spiritual root, but it was just the lowest grade spiritual root.
“Very grand indeed, it has the aura of a large sect.” Mo Wuji nodded, these words came from his heart. Even though he couldn’t see clearly inside the sect gate, it seemed to be obscured by the clouds. However, just from this sect entrance, he felt that the Traceless Sword Sect was very imposing.
Xian Ziqian even whispered, “Don’t look at the Traceless Sword Sect as just a ground level sect, but I’ve heard that many quasi heaven level sects are not as imposing as the Traceless Sword Sect.”
“Don’t cross your fingers, Fat Light, you take Mo Wuji to his residence and introduce him to some of his future endeavours, the rest of you follow me.” Wu Kai’s voice interrupted all the murmuring voices.
Mo Wuji knew this Fat Light, was Wu Kai’s loyal henchman, although he was fat looking, he was extremely sharp. Seeing that Wu Kai had individually arranged for Fat Light to take him to his residence and introduce him to the job, Mo Wuji knew that the role of that one sea winged seal’s egg was really great.
This Wu Kai had a lewd face and a look of profit. He wasn’t someone who received gifts and didn’t do anything, not only did he do things, he also did things to the satisfaction of the person who gave him the gift. No wonder this guy can sit in the position of handyman deacon, it is true that all people have their own merits.
……
“Brother Wuji, our deacon is really taking care of you this time. Do you know that new handyman disciples have to train for three days, and the deacon has exempted you from all training this time.” Fat Light walked all the way, talking about Wu Kai’s kindness towards Mo Wuji the whole way.
Mo Wuji wasn’t interested in this, it was an exchange of benefits to get here, he was more concerned about how he would survive here in the future.
As he enquired along the way, Mo Wuji also roughly had some understanding. Handyman disciples all had their own range of activities, and could not go to other areas at will if it wasn’t under special circumstances. When a handyman disciple met an inner sect disciple or an outer sect disciple, they needed to stop and bow, allowing the real disciples of the sect to go first.
After completing their work, the odd-job disciples were relatively free. They could leave the sect at will to head to the sect’s workshop, or to attend to their own matters. The prerequisite was that they couldn’t delay their work.
The residence that Wu Kai had arranged for Mo Wuji was indeed secluded, and apart from a small lake near his residence, the nearest dormitory area for odd-job disciples was also around almost a hundred metres away.
Although the house was very simple, just a stone room, it was well-stocked. It included two rooms, a kitchen, and even a storage room. Such a good place, Wu Kai didn’t live there himself and let himself live there? Could it be that Wu Kai lived in a place even better than this?
“I heard that this lake is called the Blood Lotus Root Lake, back then, it was the place where the precious blood lotus root was cultivated, and this house was also where the lotus root cultivator lived.” Fat Light pointed at Mo Wuji’s house and said with some envy.
“Treasure Blood Lotus Root?” Mo Wuji had never really heard of such a thing. He hadn’t even had time to read the Dan book that Shen Ren had given him.
Fat Light explained, “The Treasure Blood Lotus Root is both a spiritual medicine and a very delicious ingredient. Because this kind of thing has too much medicinal value, very few people eat it as a thing. I’ve heard that the precious blood lotus root is also an ingredient for pills that can be refined to penetrate the spirit complex, would you say it’s precious?”
“Then why isn’t it raised here anymore?” Mo Wuji asked suspiciously.
Fat Light laughed, “If it’s still raised, it’s definitely not your turn to live here. In fact, although the Treasure Blood Lotus Root is a good thing, it has a major drawback, which is that it absorbs too much spiritual qi. The fact that the Treasure Blood Lotus Root was once planted here is what caused the aura in this vicinity to be almost non-existent and thin.”
Mo Wuji suddenly realised why Wu Kai had kept this place even though he didn’t live here himself. Wu Kai had a lower grade spiritual root, even if his spiritual root was poor, he could still cultivate. How could he, a person who could cultivate, live in a place like this where he could not cultivate?
Many of the handyman disciples had spiritual roots. They didn’t come here to enjoy being a handyman, most of them wanted to cultivate. Since this was the case, they naturally wouldn’t choose to live in a place with a lack of spiritual qi. As for those who were truly working as handymen, there was nothing that could impress Wu Kai, which made it possible to stay in this quiet place all this time.
Wu Kai had determined that he couldn’t cultivate or didn’t take his cultivation seriously, which was why he had arranged for him to stay here. According to the agreement between him and Wu Kai, Wu Kai had indeed not been blind to the fact that this place was secluded and was a good place to stay.
Mo Wuji didn’t care after he figured this out. He could absorb spiritual qi wherever he cultivated, the spiritual qi here was thin, after all, there was spiritual qi, and that was enough for him to cultivate. Moreover, he cultivated very quickly, relatively speaking, the speed of opening his veins was too slow. Even if he switched to a place with more dense aura, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate faster.
“Thank you, Deacon Wu and Brother Light, I’m very satisfied here.” Mo Wuji was indeed very satisfied with this place.
Fat Light was just as satisfied with Mo Wuji’s answer, he was most worried about Mo Wuji’s words that there was no spiritual qi here and that he didn’t like living here. If Mo Wuji was satisfied, then everything would be fine.
“This is a signboard for the 19th Dispensing Room, once this signboard lights up, that would be the Dan Master Grandmaster calling you to dispense pills, you must rush to the 19th Dispensing Room at the first opportunity. Remember! Remember!”
Fat Guang handed Mo Wuji a jade talisman-like sign, and took out a map and handed it to Mo Wuji, “This is the places in the sect that you can go to, and the places you can’t go to, and the 19th Dispensing Room is already marked on it. If Brother Mo doesn’t have anything else to do, I’ll take my leave.”
Fat Guang explained so clearly, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn’t have a problem with it. After sending Fat Guang away, he immediately went in to clean up the room before arranging Smokey’s place.
