Many disciples lined up at the Cultivation Hall as they were only allowed to enter with a group of a certain number. Amongst them stood an individual that was very noticeable as many all the others stood a few meters away from him.
He was a handsome young man dressed in a red robe. However, someone appeared to have sewed his mouth together, leaving barely enough motion to place small pieces of food inside his mouth.
There are rumors that he did it himself. Nevertheless, this act gave him a fierce and eerie vibe.
As a result, he was infamous amongst the servants because of how fierce he was.
Anyone who tried to make fun of him or bully him for his sewed mouth would suffer a terrible beaten until they were a bloody pulp.
Mo Wei ignored the people that were giving him strange looks. He used the fear people had of him to get in the front line. So, after 30 minutes, it was his turn, so he entered.
He could only access the first floor as a servant disciple, while the remaining four were prohibited. So he only browsed through that section. Most of the cultivation techniques inside were ordinary, so Mo Wei took one that was more suitable for him before leaving.
Back to his quarters, he immediately began to cultivate. His roommate was scared of him, so he ran away; he did not mind since now he had more space to himself.
Mo Wei sat cross-legged to enter a state of deep meditation. He needed to absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth to enter the Qi Gathering Stage.
This process took him three days. Then, he left the house to get something to eat. While on his way, he listened to the conversation of the passing disciples.
"Have you heard? Ji Su has already reached the 2nd Layer Peak of the Qi Gathering Realm?"
"It's only been three days."
"That's the difference in talent between each disciple. I have not even gathered my first ray of Qi yet, let alone reached the first Layer."
'As expected, my talent is quite mediocre–even amongst the servants,' thought Mo Wei. 'This will become a problem.'
He knew Ji Su as the two of them once had a conflict. He used his instinct for battle to beat the latter to the point that even his mother could not recognize him. However, now, things might be different.
After eating in the cafeteria, Mo Wei did not return to his quarter but secretly headed to the nearby forest. He spent a few hours searching for different herbs while ensuring that he did not go too deep into the forest; he did not want to meet a magical beast.
After returning home, Mo Wei mixed the herbs into two different portions; one was a paste and the other a powder. Around midnight, he placed the paste all over his body while taking the other with him.
He then secretly traveled to one of the quarters. The paste on his body lowered his presence to the maximum. So, once he approached, no one noticed him or heard him.
Mo Wei took a bamboo tube and poked a hole through the paper-made window before blowing the powder inside. To be safe, he blew a few more handfuls and waited outside.
Half a minute later, he heard a thumping sound, but he did not immediately go inside. He waited another 10 minutes before forcefully opening the door. Mo Wei watched a young disciple on the floor.
He crouched down to check his pulse with a knife in his other hand, ready to attack at any moment. After ensuring that this person was genuinely unconscious, he nodded in satisfaction.
'It was indeed a great idea to become a servant to the Alchemy Hall.'
Mo Wei picked up the body, checked the surroundings, and removed all his traces before leaving. He did not return to his quarter but headed to a secret base that he had dug out for five years.
He ensured that the small traps he laid out as an alarm did not activate before entering. The base contained many vials of medicine and herbs, a lot of strange metal equipment, a bed in the middle, and a bunch of books.
After placing the body on the bed, Mo Wei did not waste time as he began to use his equipment. free𝑤ebnovel.com
'Ever since I failed the entrance examination and became a servant, I knew that I had to find a way to make up for my lack of talent. Hopefully, you provide me with the answer I need.'
Without hesitation, he began to open the body on the bed. After seeing that it was awakening because of the pain, Mo Wei administered a higher dose. He did not finish until almost morning and returned to his quarter.
For the next year, the Servant Disciples are free to cultivate with only a few chores. With his reputation, Mo Wei would force some other disciples to do his assignment while he focused on cultivating.
In the following year, many servant disciples mysteriously disappeared, and most of them displayed some level of talent. A deacon from the Outer Sect came to check, but he only spent 30 minutes searching before giving up.
In a devil sect, the servant disciples were the least appreciated. No matter how many died, a new batch could replace them.
After a year, the disciples who reached the 7th Layer of Qi Gathering Realm will have a competition, and the most powerful ones can enter the Outer Sect.
Mo Wei barely managed to enter the 7th Layer. Through his experiments, he did not find the source of talent; that was something out of his current ability. If he only relied on his mediocre aptitude, he would have never reached that realm in just a year.
However, through understanding the human body, he created a few techniques to make his cultivation more efficient. Plus, he discovered that he could take some spiritual energy from the bodies of others and absorb them after purification.
The Asure Blood Sect divided the servant disciples into regions, and during the Tournament, all the qualified disciples from the different areas would participate.
Only a few people from Mo Wei's region participated due to all the disappearances, but only he passed. And only three people with cultivation in the 7th Layer passed.
Mo Wei passed because he had a high comprehension despite his lack of cultivation talent. He trained his sword skill to a very high level.
Mo Wei knew his circumstances.
After the Tournament, he decided to enter the Alchemy Hall. At age 10, the sect tested all the disciples for their talent. The qualified one immediately joined the Outer Sect.
Cultivation can only begin at the age of 15, so the Outer Sect Disciples started cultivated at the same time as the servants. However, in the five years absent, they learned body refining methods to establish a strong foundation for their future cultivation.
So, the gap between natural Outer Sect Disciples and those who joined from servants was vast. Adding to that, Mo Wei's mediocre talent, he knew that only through pills would he have a chance at reaching higher realms.
After entering the Alchemy Hall, Mo Wei shone a little. His talent for pill-making was slightly displayed–although he hid the full extent of his talent, he managed to draw the right amount of attention.
Using the resources in the Hall, he reached the 10th Layer of the Qi Gathering Realm, which was the peak. Unfortunately, he failed his attempt to enter the Dao Foundation Stage.
Luckily, he was prepared in advance and only suffered a minor backlash. After this attempt, Mo Wei realized that his qi was full of impurities, hence the reason for his failure.
