Chapter 454: Hundred Flower Manor
Wen Lianxi sighed inwardly. She really hadn't expected there to be such a thick-skinned person.
She took out a pill and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Take this pill, and then..."
Before Wen Lianxi could tell Mo Wuji to get off the ship, Qianshan walked over and said, "Miss, we've arrived at Hundred Flower Manor..."
The flying ship shook slightly. Even before it had completely stopped, Wen Lianxi heard a series of giggling laughter, "Sister Xi, I've been waiting for you to come every day. How come you're only here today? Have you forgotten me..."
Before the voice finished speaking, a round-faced girl in a fiery red dress appeared at the cabin door. A moment later, the girl arrived in front of Wen Lianxi.
"Oh, Sister Xi, who is this? I haven't seen him before." The red-clothed girl saw Mo Wuji standing opposite Wen Lianxi and asked in surprise. She knew that when Wen Lianxi came out, she only brought Qianshan as a servant.
"Oh..." Wen Lianxi said awkwardly, then quickly said, "This is a low-level rogue cultivator I met on the road. I heard that he knows how to take care of flowers and plants, so I brought him here. If you need a gardener to take care of the flowers here, you can give him a bite to eat. If not, then just let him leave on his own."
"Thank you, Sister. My aunt is raising more and more flowers now, and I'm worried about whether I should find a few gardeners to take care of them. Let him go on his own. I'll take Sister to..."
Before the red-clothed girl could finish speaking, Wen Lianxi interrupted her with a smile, "I won't go. I still have to go to Yongying Huamei Mountain... Qianshan, send Mo Wuji to Hundred Flower Manor."
After speaking, she turned to look at Mo Wuji, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately sighed and didn't speak. Instead, she turned and left.
"Sister, I'll go to Yongying Huamei Mountain with you." The red-clothed girl hurriedly chased after her.
Even though Mo Wuji's cultivation was still at the Earth Immortal stage, his spiritual will was extremely strong. He sensed that Wen Lianxi was transmitting a message to Qianshan, and Mo Wuji didn't quite understand what Wen Lianxi meant.
Moreover, her attitude towards him just now seemed to have changed, and there was even a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Not only that, but she didn't even remind him what he should do, when the next batch of Immortal Herbs would be sent, or how to contact her, etc.
"Follow me." Qianshan's tone was even colder.
Mo Wuji first put away the jade bottle in his hand and followed Qianshan off the flying ship.
As soon as he got off the ship, Mo Wuji smelled a rich fragrance of flowers. In front of him was a huge, elegant sign that read: Hundred Flower Manor.
The gatehouse of Hundred Flower Manor didn't seem very large, but it gave Mo Wuji a feeling of being filled with spiritual charm.
"Give me that ring first, the one the Miss gave you." After getting off the flying ship, Qianshan suddenly said something that made Mo Wuji feel baffled.
Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, "Steward Qianshan, this ring is for me to learn pill refining. If I give it to you, how will I improve in the future?"
Qianshan shook his head, "You just need to plant flowers properly in Hundred Flower Manor. Maybe you can learn something, but don't think too much about anything else for now."
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He didn't believe that Qianshan would make such a decision on his own. What's more, the only valuable thing in this ring was a low-grade Immortal artifact Pill Furnace. Qianshan definitely wouldn't be interested in those spiritual herbs and first-grade Immortal Herbs. Besides, he felt that Qianshan was very loyal to Wen Lianxi and wouldn't do such a thing behind her back.
"Steward Qianshan, what does this mean? Take me to see the Miss. I want to ask clearly." Mo Wuji was very puzzled.
Qianshan's face darkened, "Mo Wuji, my Miss is kind-hearted, but you can't take an inch after getting a yard just because my Miss is kind-hearted. If that's really the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Although Mo Wuji didn't know what was going on, he also knew that it was impossible to see Wen Lianxi again. He took off the ring and handed it to Qianshan without saying anything else. Perhaps there were some changes in the middle, but no matter what, Mo Wuji wasn't necessarily begging the other party.
"Master Qianshan." Just as Qianshan put away the ring Mo Wuji gave him, a weathered old man hurried out and bowed.
Qianshan nodded and said, "Steward Wei, this is a flower boy for planting flowers. See if you can use him here. If not, just let him leave on his own. I'm going to Huamei Mountain with the Miss, so I won't delay any longer."
"I understand, Master. Take care." The old man kept his back bent and watched Qianshan leave.
Only after Qianshan boarded the flying ship, and the ship shook slightly before taking off again, did the old man turn to Mo Wuji and say, "Follow me."
If it weren't for Wen Lianxi's kindness, and even the agreement, Mo Wuji would have turned around and left long ago. Now, even though Mo Wuji didn't understand what had happened, he still cupped his fists at the old man and said, "My name is Mo Wuji. Greetings, Steward Wei."
Steward Wei nodded without saying anything and walked into Hundred Flower Manor.
Mo Wuji carefully observed the surroundings with his spiritual will, but he couldn't see through the restrictions and formations of Hundred Flower Manor.
As soon as he entered Hundred Flower Manor, Mo Wuji was stunned by the various flowers. This wasn't just Hundred Flower Manor; it should be called Ten Thousand Flower Manor.
In the very center of the sea of flowers, a wide avenue led directly to a uniquely styled architectural complex. Mo Wuji guessed that it should be the residential area of Hundred Flower Manor. Paths crisscrossed among the various flowers, and there were thousands of acres of them at a rough estimate.
Although Mo Wuji didn't recognize all of these flowers, he was still a Celestial Pill Refiner, and he knew that many of the flowers here were Immortal Herbs.
Steward Wei led Mo Wuji through a sea of flowers and walked to a row of low houses. This place was several miles away from the large architectural complex.
Mo Wuji was thinking if this was where the gardeners would live in the future when he heard Steward Wei point to a house and say, "Mo Wuji, you will live here from now on. By the way, study all the flowers here thoroughly. Come find me in a few days, and then I will allocate the area you need to be responsible for. You can come to me to collect your monthly salary every month."
As he spoke, Steward Wei took out a book and handed it to Mo Wuji.
"There's a monthly salary?" Mo Wuji asked suspiciously. He came here to learn the Dao of Pill Refinement. He felt a bit strange that he was asked to take care of flowers and plants, and now there was a monthly salary too? Was he going to be treated like a servant?
Steward Wei grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, and said, "Of course. Although it's not much, it's not easy for us either. You have to do a good job. If you don't do well, you won't have a share in Hundred Flower Manor."
After speaking, Steward Wei turned and slowly walked away.
Mo Wuji looked at his residence, Room Ding 115. He pushed open the door, and a cloud of dust fell down, covering him.
Mo Wuji looked at the room. It was only about ten square meters, with a bed, a table, and a chair. There was nothing else.
Even his cave in the Half Immortal Domain was more advanced than this place. Mo Wuji shook his head and casually cast a dust-removal spell, cleaning the dust in the room. Then he walked over and sat on the chair before taking out the jade bottle that Wen Lianxi had given him before she left.
There was only one pill in the jade bottle. Although Mo Wuji had never seen this pill before, he knew that it was a detoxification pill as soon as he opened the bottle.
He seemed to understand something and casually put the pill into his mouth. The pill turned into a faint spiritual force that quickly rushed into his sea of consciousness, taking away and dissolving the trace of poisonous spiritual will imprint attached to his sea of consciousness.
So it was a detoxification pill. Did Wen Lianxi feel guilty and was unwilling to control him with this method?
That's not right. If that's really the case, then Wen Lianxi's attitude at the end was a bit problematic.
Mo Wuji had experienced many things. After thinking about it for a few moments, he understood that Wen Lianxi probably suddenly didn't want him to help anymore and unilaterally terminated the contract. Wen Lianxi must be kind-hearted. After unilaterally terminating the contract, she remembered to help him remove the poison in his sea of consciousness. However, she also took away everything she had given him.
Mo Wuji laughed mockingly at himself. He was prepared to make a big splash here and at least advance to a third-grade Pill Sovereign before leaving. He didn't expect to be reduced to his original state so quickly.
Women's thoughts are truly ever-changing, with several thoughts in a day. Fortunately, when she had the thought of asking him for help, she helped him heal his injuries in time.
Mo Wuji didn't think too much about it. This woman was still very kind. Even though she didn't want to cooperate with him, she still found him a job, didn't mind helping him heal his injuries, and even helped him detoxify.
After thinking this through, Mo Wuji decided to adapt here for a few days, inquire about some things, and then leave Hundred Flower Manor immediately.
Since the other party didn't want to cooperate with him, there was no need for him to stay here. He owed her a favor, and he would repay her when he met her again in the future.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji simply calmed down and began to read the book that Steward Wei had given him. At first, Mo Wuji didn't pay much attention to this book. Steward Wei was just a flower farmer, and Mo Wuji felt that his cultivation wasn't that great either. What good book could he give him?
However, as soon as Mo Wuji opened the book, he immediately knew that he was wrong. This was actually a complete book of flowers. Whether they were spiritual herbs or Immortal Herbs, as long as they bloomed, they were recorded in this book. Mo Wuji quickly became engrossed in it.
Three days later, Mo Wuji gave up the idea of leaving Hundred Flower Manor immediately. He spent more time studying the Immortal Herb flowers in Hundred Flower Manor, completely forgetting that Steward Wei had said he would look for him in a few days.
On the ninth day, Steward Wei took the initiative to find Mo Wuji here.
