Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 157: Let Her Live for Herself

Linglong Popo was very satisfied with Mo Wuji's attitude and continued, "Yan'er's memory was lost due to the Spirit-Snatching. After following me in cultivation, her strength will become stronger and stronger, and so will her will. As a result, the memories she lost will move further and further away from her, eventually disappearing completely."

Mo Wuji was stunned. If Yan'er lost her memory, would she still be the same Yan'er as before?

"Senior, is there no way at all?" Mo Wuji asked somewhat unwillingly.

Linglong Popo shook her head and said, "It's not that there's no way at all. One thing I can be sure of is that the higher her cultivation, the harder it will be to recover her memory. Once she reaches the Spirit Building Stage, the original memory shadows will basically disappear completely. If my Pill Dao level improves further, maybe I can restore her memory while saving her, but I know my own limitations. It's very difficult for my Pill Dao to improve any further, unless I leave the Lost Continent."

Mo Wuji fell silent. Linglong Popo's Pill Dao level was probably the most powerful Pill Refiner in the entire Lost Continent. If even Linglong Popo couldn't do it, it would be even more impossible for others to do it.

"Senior Linglong, if you ever break through in your Pill Dao, can you help her recover her memory then?" Mo Wuji asked again, holding onto a sliver of hope.

Linglong Popo sighed and said, "That's absolutely impossible. With her aptitude, she will definitely succeed in building her spiritual root in a very short period of time. Once she does, no matter how powerful a Pill Refiner is, they won't be able to help her regain her memory. Unless you don't let her cultivate. If you don't let her cultivate, her memory will still gradually disappear completely, it will just be a little slower. Moreover, to cure her, she must cultivate."

"May I ask, what is your Pill Dao cultivation level?"

Linglong Popo looked at the void, her eyes a little dazed. After a long while, she said in a lonely tone, "I am a Grade Seven Celestial Pill Refiner."

Not a Grade Six Earth Pill Refiner, but a Grade Seven Celestial Pill Refiner? Mo Wuji was extremely shocked. After all, those who thought Linglong Popo was a Grade Seven Celestial Pill Refiner were just guessing. He estimated that even Mu Ying might not know that Linglong Popo was a Grade Seven Celestial Pill Refiner. If Linglong Popo's Pill Dao broke through again, what level would that be? Grade Eight Celestial Pill Refiner, or perhaps breaking through the Celestial Pill Refiner Realm?

Yin Qianyin didn't lie to him. Within the five empires, only Linglong Popo could save Yan'er's life.

Mo Wuji looked at Yan'er, who knew nothing, and took a deep breath. At the same time, he made up his mind. He bowed to Linglong Popo and said, "Senior, please take action. As long as you can save Yan'er, everything else is secondary."

Even if Yan'er couldn't recover her memory, he still had to save her.

Linglong Popo nodded to Mo Wuji and said, "You're not bad. I do have a chance for you, and that is, before Yan'er advances to the Spirit Building Realm, you should spend more time with Yan'er, talk to her more, and chat about things from the past. This is the only way to help her regain her memory before she enters the Spirit Building Realm."

"But my spiritual root aptitude is too poor, I can't even enter the Wentian School, let alone the Wentian School's Pill Tower…" Mo Wuji said helplessly.

Linglong Popo smiled faintly, "Seeing as you helped me find the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower, I'll help you with another matter."

After saying that, Linglong Popo took out a jade token and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Take this jade token to the Wentian School and say that I asked you to become an outer disciple of the Wentian School. That way, you will also be a member of the Wentian School. At that time, you can come and see Yan'er with the jade token at any time. That's all I can do to help you with Yan'er."

"Thank you, Senior." Mo Wuji took the jade token and bowed excitedly. He was worried about how to enter the Wentian School and how to see Yan'er. Linglong Popo solved it for him all at once, how could he not be happy?

Sure enough, when a person reaches a certain level, their mind will also reach a certain level.

Compared to Jing Feilan back then, Linglong Popo was more than ten times stronger? But Linglong Popo asked for his opinion before taking Yan'er as a disciple. At the same time, Linglong Popo didn't care that his spiritual root aptitude was low, she still allowed him to see Yan'er, and even looked for ways for him to regain Yan'er's memory.

What's more, she didn't say a single word to discourage him. Although his Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower played a role, Linglong Popo's mind also played a role.

"Do you have any other requests? Feel free to say them. I'll try my best to help you," Linglong Popo asked again.

"Senior helped me save Yan'er and allowed me to enter the Wentian School as an outer disciple, which is already the greatest help to me. If I were to ask Senior to help me again, then I would be too shameless. Senior has solved all my wishes, and I have no other requests now," Mo Wuji replied respectfully.

He was very clear that one should not be too greedy. Asking for anything else would only make people look down on him.

"What is Yan'er to you?" Linglong Popo was also somewhat touched by Mo Wuji's broad-mindedness.

"Yan'er was originally my maid, and in my heart, she is the only person I am closest to," Mo Wuji said, looking at Yan'er with some sadness in his heart. He was really worried that Yan'er's memory of him would completely disappear in the future.

Having come to this world, Yan'er was the only person he truly cared about. One was a woman who stabbed him in the back, and the other was a girl who exchanged her life for his happiness. Only after experiencing it did he realize how precious and happy it was to have the latter.

Linglong Popo sighed and said, "For his own maid, to risk his life to go to the Five Elements Desolate Domain to find the Boundless Soul-Forging Crystal, you are probably the only one in the entire Lost Continent."

At this moment, her gaze towards Mo Wuji was even gentler, and she said in a calm tone, "You should go back first. Yan'er will stay by my side from now on. You can come and see her at any time."

Mo Wuji thanked Linglong Popo again and repeatedly instructed Yan'er before reluctantly turning and leaving.

He didn't know if this departure would turn him and Yan'er into strangers in the future. Even if he knew they would become strangers, he would still do it.

Compared to Yan'er's life, everything else was secondary. Yan'er had never lived for herself for a single day. If Yan'er's memory really couldn't be recovered, then let Yan'er live for herself from today onwards. Don't treat her own life as someone else's thing, and don't treat herself as a humble maid.

No matter what the final result was, he would always protect this girl who had protected him for more than ten years and lived for him.

Looking at Mo Wuji's lonely and somewhat desolate back as he walked away, Linglong Popo suddenly stroked Yan'er's hair and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you should never forget him. Remember, his name is Mo Wuji, a man with ordinary spiritual root aptitude who can risk his own life to save you. Even if he doesn't ask you to remember him, he only asks that you can live on!"

Yan'er looked at Linglong Popo as if she understood. Linglong Popo sighed. Don't look at how easily Mo Wuji spoke. As a Celestial Pill Refiner, how could she not know how difficult it was for Mo Wuji to obtain the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower? Any cultivator below the Core Formation Realm would have a slim chance of survival when picking the Soul-Sustaining Flower.

It was a lie to say that Mo Wuji casually picked the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower. There was only one condition for obtaining the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower, and that was to exchange it with one's life. Until now, she didn't know how Mo Wuji did it. He obtained the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower and was still alive. However, since Mo Wuji didn't say it, she couldn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets.



"Wuji, where's Yan'er?" Seeing Mo Wuji returning alone, Zhen Shaoke, who had been waiting for Mo Wuji, quickly asked.

"Fortunately, Yan'er's aptitude is not bad. Linglong Popo decided to take Yan'er as her closed disciple, which gave Yan'er a chance to live," Mo Wuji replied.

The Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower was too important. Although he and Zhen Shaoke were good friends, he couldn't just say it casually. Moreover, whether he said it or not wouldn't affect Zhen Shaoke, so why put himself in a dangerous situation?

He heard that the cultivator who obtained the Boundless Soul-Forging Crystal last time disappeared. What he obtained was the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower, which Linglong Popo said was much better than the Boundless Soul-Forging Crystal. Once this thing was exposed, how could he be safe?

If he had known that the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower was of such a high level, he wouldn't have dared to bring this flower to Linglong Popo. Fortunately, Linglong Popo was somewhat different from the rumors. She was indeed extremely difficult to persuade. But once she agreed, she was extremely responsible.

Moreover, from the fact that Linglong Popo didn't attack him, or even tell him not to reveal the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower, he knew that Linglong Popo wasn't a black-hearted person.

He believed that Linglong Popo herself wouldn't reveal the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower. As long as Linglong Popo didn't say it, and he didn't say it, no one would know that he had ever obtained the Boundless Soul-Sustaining Flower.

Zhen Shaoke breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Yan'er is such a lovely girl. If something happened to her, I would be sad too."

After saying that, Zhen Shaoke quickly said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Shao Ru has become an inner disciple of the Wentian School."

Mo Wuji nodded. Zhen Shao Ru said that he had obtained something good. Now that the Wentian School was recruiting disciples, Shao Ru would naturally have a chance to become a disciple as long as he contributed something good.

"You don't have to worry about Yan'er. Linglong Popo is definitely the number one Pill Dao expert in the Lost Continent. As long as Linglong Popo takes action to save Yan'er, then there's an eighty or ninety percent chance that there won't be any problems. If you're willing, you can stay in the Jiu Yue Pill Pavilion for the time being. I'll help you get an elder's position…" Zhen Shao Ru joining the Wentian School made Zhen Shaoke very happy. Now that Yan'er was saved, Mo Wuji might stay in his Jiu Yue Pill Pavilion.

Others thought that Mo Wuji had poor aptitude and no prospects, but he didn't think so. He believed that Mo Wuji was definitely not an ordinary Grade Three Human Pill Refiner. Letting Mo Wuji become an elder of the Jiu Yue Pill Pavilion, it wasn't Mo Wuji who was taking advantage, but the Jiu Yue Pill Pavilion.

Mo Wuji said apologetically, "Linglong Popo gave me a jade token and has promised that I can enter the Wentian School as an outer disciple. I don't think I can go to the Jiu Yue Pill Pavilion."

"Ah!" Zhen Shao Ru was slightly stunned, and then said with pleasant surprise, "That's good, Wuji. I'm not going to the Wentian School for the time being. I'm worried that Shao Ru doesn't have a brain for doing things. If you go to the Wentian School, you and Shao Ru can take care of each other."

Zhen Shaoke was also secretly shocked by Yan'er's aptitude. Not only did she get Linglong Popo to accept Yan'er as her disciple, but she also promised Mo Wuji to enter the Wentian School as an outer disciple. How outrageous would her aptitude have to be?
