Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 28: The Second Test (2)

Elder Jing continued to look for Yang Wei despite the dust still covering her vision.

After a moment, she saw Yang Wei heavily injured in the ground, seemingly unconscious.

“Yang Wei,” Elder Jing screamed in worry as she ran toward him before checking his pulse.

Seeing how his pulse is abnormal, probably due to the pill he consumed in the fight, Elder Jing took out a pill from her spatial ring before feeding him.

Yang Wei swallowed the pill unconsciously before coughing out blood. Elder Jing saw this before using her true qi to calm his soul down.

‘This Yang Wei is so reckless. Did he really need to risk his cultivation to win this test?’ Elder Jing sighed inwardly when she couldn’t comprehend his action.

Even if he lost this battle, the score would still be 1-1 and she has confidence in her alchemy skills.

While Elder Jing was busy taking care of Yang Wei, Old Ling slowly came out from the dust with a solemn expression.

Old Ling may have won this battle but it was because of his cultivation base. If it weren’t for that, then he would have lost in that final attempt from Yang Wei.

‘A person with a soul that didn’t originate in this world is truly fearsome.’ Old Ling cursed inwardly when he had to face someone like his Master.

Old Ling slowly walked forward to Elder Jing before kneeling down a bit to check up on Yang Wei.

“Yang Wei is fine, it was just a backlash from the pills he consumed and exhausting his true qi in one go.” Old Ling said as he opened his palm, revealing a dazzling pill.

‘A Sky-Grade pill.’ Elder Jing was shocked when she saw the aura emitting from the pill.

Seeing the nonchalant care from Old Ling when he fed the pill to stabilize Yang Wei’s condition, Elder Jing wondered about the third test.

‘Senior Ling can take out a pill that is rarely seen in this world and what can I take out? An Earth grade?’ Elder Jing said depressingly when she knew she doesn’t stand a chance to win.

Even if Old Ling says the pill they have to make is some Mortal grade, with his experience and capability, the impurities of his pill will be less than her.

“Stop thinking about the third test. I don’t plan on having another one.” While Elder Jing was still in deep thinking, Old Ling suddenly intervened as he got up.

“Huh?” Elder Jing looked at Old Ling in surprise when he said there’s no third test.

Old Ling didn’t want to embarrass himself any longer as he started flying away before leaving a message.

“I will concoct the detoxifying pill. You’re extremely lucky to receive Yang Wei’s love, treasure him well.”

Old Ling’s voice echoed in Elder Jing’s ear and her face soon became red when he said to treasure Yang Wei.

‘I don’t have that kind of relationship with Yang Wei.’ Elder Jing tried to defend herself but Old Ling completely vanished from sight.

Elder Jing soon became irritated and started stomping the ground in frustration.

‘Why does everyone assume when a male and female get together, they become a couple? Can’t they be friends? No, Yang Wei is not a friend either since he’s my medicine boy.’

Elder Jing looked at the sky when she didn’t even know what she was talking about anymore.

Giving off a soft sigh, Elder Jing turned to look at the unconscious Yang Wei again and checked on his pulse again.

His pulse started becoming better after consuming the sky-grade pill so Elder Jing was relieved that nothing serious happened.

‘Wait a minute? How did Yang Wei obtain those three pills?’ Elder Jing suddenly realized that Yang Wei doesn’t know alchemy so where did he get those pills?

Checking her spatial ring again and checking thoroughly this time, Elder Jing saw some of the pill containers were empty.

“What a great Yang Wei we have here?” Elder Jing said in a deep voice as she stared at Yang Wei fiercely.

Yang Wei has stolen some of her pills without asking and Elder Jing hates thieves the most. Especially when it’s from a person that she gave her trust in.

Elder Jing thought she wasn’t wrong about Yang Wei but after this incident, her trust in him decreased drastically.

Not only that, Elder Jing is planning on punishing Yang Wei because he has been getting cocky and arrogant ever since coming here.

Fighting against someone who is more than 3 realms higher and to do so without fear should be amazing. But when Elder Jing thinks about the situation, Yang Wei has only gotten lucky in that fight.

If Old Ling didn’t fool around and tried to toy with Yang Wei, he wouldn’t be able to take advantage to sneak attack him.

Elder Jing stood up before taking out her cauldron to concoct a pill specifically for Yang Wei.

‘Let’s see how you will be arrogant when I make you consume this pill I’m making.’ Elder Jing smiled evilly when she started using her flame to start refining.

A pill that she has created for her enemies and she never got the chance to use it because she was always in her courtyard, refining multiple pills to get the detoxifying pill for her poison.

Yang Wei is lucky to be the first person to receive such kindness from Elder Jing when he wakes up.

“I will reward you generously Yang Wei.” Elder Jing placed the first ingredient inside and looked at the sleeping Yang Wei in joy.

Yang Wei did not know what would happen to him when he woke up as his consciousness was drifting in some space.

“Where is this place?” Yang Wei looked around when he didn’t recall being here.

‘I was fighting Senior Ling…. and lost real badly huh.’ Yang Wei finally remembered how he still lost the fight in the end but it doesn’t explain him being here.

*Whoosh*

Suddenly a shadow appeared behind Yang Wei without making any sound but Yang Wei could sense it.

Trying to turn around, the shadow snapped his finger, causing Yang Wei to be immobilized.

“May I ask who this senior is?” Yang Wei asked since he couldn’t move and was cautious of him.

“You’re not qualified to know my name yet. Just know that you’ll have your answer when you climb the pagoda that will appear soon.” The shadow figure spoke one last time to Yang Wei before disappearing.
