Traceless Sword Sect Sect Hall, this was the place where the sect deliberated, and it was also the most imposing hall of the Traceless Sword Sect. Only those with status in the sect could enter here, Mo Wuji had only seen it from afar before, but had never been to the sect hall.
This time, after he had cannibalised the five Water Velvet Vines into a medicinal liquid, he rushed here at the first opportunity. It was a good thing that Master Shi Dan’s jade token worked, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to even get close to the entrance of the grand hall.
“Miscellaneous disciple Mo Wuji greets all the sect seniors.” Mo Wuji shouted his greetings as he stood at the entrance of the grand hall, here sat the most authoritative bigwigs of the sect. Each and every one of them were powerful Immortal Masters who towered over the others, he wouldn’t dare to be slow as a miscellaneous disciple came in.
“Patriarch, Elders, this handyman disciple is called Mo Wuji, he’s my medicine boy, he helps me dispense my pills I’m extraordinarily smooth when I refine pills.” Shi Jun, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw Mo Wuji coming over and hurriedly stood up and said.
Sitting at the very top was a middle-aged man with a thin face and a short beard, the whole person sat straight, just like a sharp sword that couldn’t be hidden in its sheath.
Mo Wuji guessed that this person was the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect, and sure enough, after Shi Jun’s words were finished, this middle-aged man nodded, “Since you are Master Shi Dan’s medicinal boy and a disciple of my Traceless Sword Sect, then please come in.”
Mo Wuji noticed the way this patriarch worded his words, firstly, he didn’t call him a miscellaneous disciple, and secondly, he even used the word please when he let him in.
“Many thanks, Sovereign.” Mo Wuji didn’t wait for Shi Dan Shi to thank him for him, he had already stepped into the grand hall and cupped his fists and thanked him.
The elders and all the Dan Masters in the grand hall were rather puzzled as they looked Mo Wuji up and down, looking at his age, Mo Wuji was only around twenty at best. For such a journeyman disciple to enter such a solemn sect hall and face such a large number of Immortal Masters, he would definitely be cowering in fear and trepidation. Where could one be like Mo Wuji, striding in and then thanking the sect master without any panic?
For Mo Wuji, after attending the Global Drug Conference many times on Earth, and every time he was with those heads of various countries, he had long since become accustomed to it.
“Wuji, come sit beside me.” Shi Jun slapped the seat beside him and called out to Mo Wuji.
He genuinely couldn’t put up a fight against Mo Wuji, even though he was an odd-job disciple, he had no desires. When he himself wanted to ask him to become a pill boy, he was not even willing to do so. Therefore, don’t look at the fact that he was a dan master and Mo Wuji was an odd-job man, he really asked Mo Wuji for help.
“Many thanks to Dan Master Shi.” Mo Wuji cupped his fists and thanked him, walked over and sat directly beside Shi Jun, while whispering, “Dan Master Shi, if the alchemy is successful, I’m going to enter the Traceless Sword Mountain to have a look as well.”
Shi Jun waved his hand, “No problem, every Dan Master who enters the Traceless Sword Mountain is qualified to bring a pill boy in. As long as you can help me succeed in my alchemy, you will go in with me.”
“That doesn’t make sense, does it? How can a journeyman disciple sit down in a place like this? It’s really degrading to the solemnity of the sect’s great hall.” An abrupt voice rang out, even carrying some anger.
Mo Wuji immediately looked over, it was a young man. This youth was dressed in a brocade robe, and his entire body revealed an air of superiority.
Mo Wuji was upset in his heart, who was this guy. What’s wrong with him sitting here? Why should he stand when everyone is sitting.
Although he was upset in his heart, Mo Wuji knew that he was not capable of swaying anything and could only look towards Shi Jun. If Shi Jun did not have the ability to speak, then count him unlucky.
Shi Jun gave a dry smile and said, “Master Qu Dan, everyone here is sitting, it’s not too good to have Mo Wuji standing alone.”
The brocade-robed man called Dan Master Qu said coldly, “None of the dan masters who come here to compete in alchemy need a medicine boy, only you need one. It’s also true that Shi Dan Master’s alchemy level is so high that not wanting a pill boy naturally doesn’t show off his status.”
Although Shi Jun knew that his status was inferior to this brocade-robed youth, he was also furious when he heard the brocade-robed youth speak like this.
Although Mo Wuji was not happy in his heart, he was not willing to involve Shi Jun. He was about to stand up, signalling Shi Jun not to continue making a scene because of this small matter when that Qu Dan Master once again said in a cold voice, “You, a mere pill boy, dare to take a seat here.”
Mo Wuji, who originally wanted to stand up, preferred not to move any further, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Smokey was still here, he would have even spoken out to ridicule the other party. What was wrong with a medicine boy? It was Shi Dan Shi’s intention for him to sit down, besides, he was Shi Dan Shi’s medicine boy not your surname Qu. Shi Dan Shi’s status seems to be no weaker than him, where did this guy take the wrong medicine to cross him?
“Mo Wuji, as a medicine boy, why do you dare to sit still in the middle of an argument between two major Dan Masters?” An old man sitting in the first place on his left hand suddenly spoke out and asked, his words seemed to be somewhat biased towards Dan Master Qu.
Mo Wuji knew that the one who could sit at the first on the left hand was definitely not an ordinary person, this was most likely the First Elder. One had to bow his head under the roof, he stood up and clasped a fist to this elder and said, “Elder Mingjian, if it was usual, Elder would have long since stood up and would not have allowed Shi Dan Shi and Qu Dan Shi to argue over one of Elder’s seats. But after the Patriarch’s teachings, senior understood a truth, so he just sat and didn’t move.”
Patriarch’s teachings? All of them looked towards Lone Ran, who sat at the very top. Lone Ran seat the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect had never even taken in a disciple, how could he go and teach a journeyman disciple?
It was Lone Ran who also looked towards Mo Wuji, he didn’t know when he had taught Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji said unhurriedly, ”An odd-job disciple naturally has no status in the eyes of the average powerhouse. For example, Master Qu Dan told me to stand up because I am an odd-job disciple. However, when I entered the main hall, the Sovereign did not specifically address me as an odd-job disciple, so it is evident that in the eyes of the Sovereign, no matter if it’s a True Tradition, Inner Sect or Outer Sect or an odd-job disciple, any disciple as long as he is in the Traceless Sword Sect, then he is a disciple of the Traceless Sword Sect.”
When Mo Wuji came in, the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect, indeed did not intentionally call Mo Wuji an odd-job disciple, the crowd did not expect this to actually be used by Mo Wuji as a patriarchal teaching.
Without waiting for the crowd to say more, Mo Wuji continued, “The Patriarch used the word please even for a lowest level disciple like me. This shows that all beings are equal in the Patriarch’s eyes.”
“Is this what you said the Patriarch taught you?” The old man in the first position on the left hand asked again.
Mo Wuji said solemnly, “Exactly, in the Patriarch’s eyes, people are not noble or lowly, and there are high and low qualities, this is what the Patriarch taught me.”
“Good, there is no nobility in people, there are high and low character, I have been taught.” The first person seated at the right head side was a young woman, she actually stood up and clapped, obviously agreeing greatly with Mo Wuji’s words.
It was only then that Mo Wuji noticed this woman, who looked very young, not much older than him for sure. The appearance was considered very ordinary, and could even be described as slightly ugly. Such a young woman was actually sitting close to the patriarch’s position, so it was probably not a low position within the sect.
In fact the implication of Mo Wuji’s words could be heard by anyone, that is, the patriarch’s character was very high, that Qudan master’s character was average.
The Patriarch sitting at the very top also nodded his head and said warmly to Mo Wuji, “Sit down.”
“Many thanks, Patriarch.” Mo Wuji thanked again before sitting down.
Shi Jun saw that Mo Wuji had completed the reversal independently, and he appreciated Mo Wuji even more. He lowered his voice and whispered in Mo Wuji’s ear, “The one who spoke out for you just now is my Traceless Sword Sect’s number one dan master, fourth grade earth dan master Yin Shanyin. This time, representing the Traceless Sword Faction to participate in the Five Elements Wasteland Dan Competition, Dan Master Yin is the main force.”
Yin Dan Master was an Earth Dan Master, Mo Wuji had heard it from Fei Bingzhu a long time ago. Unexpectedly, this Dan Master’s name also had the character Yin in it, thinking of Xia Ruoyin who had backstabbed himself, Mo Wuji was really a little sensitive to this character Yin.
“Alright, all the dan masters are ready, let’s get started.” Lone Ran clearly did not want to say more on Mo Wuji’s words and directly digressed.
Following the fall of Lone Ran’s words, five large dan furnaces were carried to the middle of the hall.
