Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 39: Leaving the Secret Herb Garden (1)

“Congratulations to Elder Jing for recovering from the poison that haunted your body.” Yang Wei smiled brightly as he saw the joy in Elder Jing’s face.

Elder Jing returned the compliment with a blissful smile as she started flying into the air.

Enjoying the breeze from the wind and freedom to soar the sky without any more restrictions.

“I can finally feel my body being a part of me again.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she continued hovering the sky.

Yang Wei simply admires this beautiful scene with Elder Jing in a cheerful mood when compared to her serious and sullen mood.

Although Elder Jing has hidden her emotion well by engrossing herself in alchemy, there was still a tiny bit of bitterness inside her.

Yang Wei never exposed her and kept it to himself. After all, they weren’t really close when he first met her in the courtyard.

He was simply there for a mission to earn some contribution point and he had no right to pry into her secrets.

However, things changed when they arrived in this mysterious realm where they had to rely on each other for survival.

‘This kind of atmosphere is not bad at all. If only things can stay like this forever.’ Yang Wei sigh inwardly and sat down to let Elder Jing enjoy her time flying around until she had enough.

Shortly after, Elder Jing finally had her filled before landing back to the ground.

Looking around for a while, Elder Jing asked, “By the way, where is Senior Ling? I want to thank him for curing my poison.”

Yang Wei became a bit frazzled when Elder Jing mentioned Old Ling whereabout.

‘I don’t think I should inform Elder Jing about the pill that Senior Ling concocted that made her lustful. Also, Senior Ling has not shown himself in a long time even though I destroyed his precious herb.’

Yang Wei ponders inwardly as he does not know how to answer Elder Jing’s question.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing held a perplexed expression on her face when Yang Wei couldn’t answer such a simple question.

“Yang Wei, where is Senior Ling?” Elder Jing asked again. This time, she was glaring at Yang Wei for an answer.

Unable to handle the fierce glare anymore, Yang Wei decided to answer honestly without exposing the pill being tampered with.

Yang Wei continued the story from start to finish and how Old Ling never showed up again after he explained his master Nie Jin with the pagoda appearing soon.

Elder Jing became baffled when she realized how many things she missed during the time she was bedridden from the side-effect.

Since Yang Wei did not tell Elder Jing of the tampered pill, she believed that she became lustful and forcefully kissing Yang Wei is due to the side-effect.

“If Senior Ling disappears then how do we leave this secret herb garden. Senior Ling was the one who brought us here and we don’t know the way out.” Elder Jing questioned since they will be stuck here forever.

Yang Wei also sighs with a helpless expression since he has searched everywhere for a way to leave.

‘I have searched the ground and even dug underground with the help of Xiao Wei. But I can’t find any other clues besides….’ Yang Wei was thinking inwardly before he looked at Elder Jing again.

Standing up, Yang Wei stares at Elder Jing in excitement, almost scaring Elder Jing of his sudden move.

“Elder Jing, since you’re back on the first stage of the Houtian realm, you can look for the escape portal in the sky.” Yang Wei exclaimed as he pointed upward.

Explaining his search result and thought process, Elder Jing nodded her in understanding.

“I see what you mean. Since both the ground and underground have no hidden symbol then the only possible way to leave is in this sky above us.” Elder Jing said before continuing her conclusion.

“When we first arrived here, I’m still in the Nascent Soul realm so I couldn’t detect anything abnormal in the sky. Now that I’m back in the Houtian realm, I can feel a slight distortion in space in this sky.”

Yang Wei listened carefully and waited for Elder Jing to start looking for clues.

“Xiao Wei” Yang Wei decided to call out his battle spirit to assist Elder Jing since it wasn’t restricted.

“Your battle spirit aura seems to have gotten stronger. At this rate, it may even surpass me in terms of prowess.” Elder Jing said teasingly.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly since she was indirectly mentioning his weak cultivation base and incapability to soar the skies.

“Elder Jing, I will improve my cultivation to not fall behind.” Yang Wei clenched his fist as he vowed in front of Elder Jing.

Elder Jing only chuckles in reply before flying upward with Xiao Wei following closely behind.

Seeing them vanishing into the sky, Yang Wei could only smile bitterly before sitting down into a lotus position to cultivate.

Since he was useless currently due to his inferior cultivation, then he would use his time wisely to improve himself.

Time slowly passed by as Elder Jing searched every nook and cranny in the clouds that have some symbols for a teleportation array.

Meanwhile, in another room, Old Ling sighs at the effort that Elder Jing is doing.

“Sigh, the symbols are being concealed with a formation so you can not find it simply by just scanning with your spiritual sense.”

Old Ling could only shake his head before pondering what to do next. He can easily escort them out but he no longer has the intention to meet them again.

“Consider this my generosity, Little Jing.” Old Ling said as he snapped his finger to cancel the concealing technique on the symbol.

‘Even though you recovered your cultivation realm, when you exit this place, your cultivation will be restricted to the 3rd stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Fine, since I’m already planning to help you, I would lift the law slightly for you so no one can harm you, Little Jing.’

Old Ling stroked his beard as he exclaimed inwardly when he saw Elder Jing finally found the symbol to leave this herb garden.
