Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 331: Re-Constructed Spiritual Root

“Y-You, How dare you play a joke on me?” Fang Xifeng’s veins seemed to be popping out of her forehead after realizing she had been played by Yang Wei.

“Did you really think I won’t make a move against you?” She added.

As she finished her words, she realized Yang Wei had already backed off for some distance away from her.

Yang Wei showed a cheeky smile as he spread his arms wide open.

“I believe you will make a move but I doubt your techniques could be faster than my escaping, right?” Yang Wei teased.

Fang Xifeng gritted her teeth in anger.

She knew what Yang Wei meant when he said about escaping.

Although she still hadn’t figured out how he did it, she knew he could easily vanish from sight as long as he willed it. 

“What kind of man are you?” Fang Xifeng shouted. 

“If you only run away from a fight against a woman, you might as well snip that tiny thing in between your legs.” She added.

Yang Wei chuckled softly as he made sure to keep his distance.

“How can a woman be so unruly in thinking about cutting a man’s livelihood?” Yang Wei said and shook his head.

He had a somewhat disappointed expression and pity for Fang Xifeng.

“It seems like you were a lonely woman without any love. Otherwise, you would never think about cutting something that will make you orgasm.”

“Y-You shameless scoundrel. Rogue!” Fang Xifeng clenched her fist tightly when Yang Wei’s speech was getting more and more offensive.

“Go die you shameless scoundrel,” Fang Xifeng roared as she increased her aura and movement.

With a swooshing sound and winds generated from behind, she quickly closed the distance between her and Yang Wei.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei showed a calm demeanor as he waved his hand around.

“What a fierce woman… no wonder no man dared to make love with you,” Yang Wei taunted one last time as he disappeared into the Pagoda.

Fang Xifeng could only narrow her eyes in anger when her claws passed through thin air.

“Coward man, if you have the guts to spout such nonsense. Then you should have the guts to stand still to get hit or fight me.” She shouted loudly.

Sometime later, Fang Xifeng remained in her position as she waited for Yang Wei’s response.

“Coward, although I don’t know where you went, I know that you would always reappear at the same location you last disappeared to.” Fang Xifeng suddenly said as she showed a wicked grin.

“I can simply summon all the Killer Bees in this area and have them patrol all the time. That way, no matter where you are, there is no escape.” 

Fang Xifeng then began laughing like a maniac as she found a way to counter Yang Wei’s mysterious technique.

Meanwhile, inside the Pagoda, Yang Wei was awestruck by Fang Xifeng’s swift thinking.

‘Damn, so she does have a brain cell and not just some big-chested woman…’ He thought.

Rubbing his chin slightly, Yang Wei decided to continue his method.

After all, he may have completed the objective of getting supplies to create a Blood Lingzhi, but he still hasn’t found a way to escape his current area.

He was engulfed by the Anguished Fog and the only way he could find a way to leave this area is through Fang Xifeng.

“Sigh, if it weren’t for Senior Fan Ping explaining that Qian Xurong will never leave her nest unless necessary, then I could have asked her to show me the escape path.” Yang Wei sighed softly.

Suddenly, Fan Ping appeared out of thin air and floated behind him.

“Don’t you dare try to pin the blame on me, Yang Wei? Qian Xurong rarely cares about anything else in the outside world besides her nest. Thus, even if you ask her that condition, she would be clueless.” Fan Ping said.

And he continued, “However, Fang Xifeng is different since she’s the commander and needs to scout around the area.”

Yang Wei turned around and glared at Fan Ping.

“Then we could have simply asked Qian Xurong to order Fang Xifeng to show us a method or even give us information, to begin with….” Yang Wei said.

He couldn’t understand the logic of luring Fang Xifeng to get her to speak up when they could have Qian Xurong as the middle person to help them out.

Fan Ping shuddered for a moment.

He then cleared his throat softly as he avoided the glaring eyesight of Yang Wei.

“Ahem, I may be a senior, but I’m too old already. It’s understandable that my mind would sometimes be clouded by something and ruin my judgment of things.” Fan Ping explained.

Yang Wei was baffled by his explanation.

In other words, because Fan Ping was forgetful about being able to one-up Qian Xurong, his brain became dead to think of anything else.

“You’re a disgrace to every senior out in the world.” Yang Wei spat as he needed to figure out another method to convince Fang Xifeng to help him out.

He was hoping a little teasing would get their relationship to be closer- or at least that’s what he thought whenever he watched those romance dramas back on Earth.

“Tch, why can’t she follow the plotline of being a tsundere and then slowly fall in love with me?” Yang Wei complained as he decided to go back out.

Through the projection screen, Fang Xifeng was ready to use some sort of antenna signal to call every single Killer Bees to the area and Yang Wei could not allow that to happen.

Sometime later, Yang Wei reappeared in front of Fang Xifeng with an awkward smile.

“Stop it, Fang Xifeng. I was simply joking to relax the tension between us.” Yang Wei said.

However, Fang Xifeng was unamused as she held a deadpan expression at Yang Wei.

“Joking with me huh?” Fang Xifeng said with a nod. 

Afterward, she took a small step forward and smiled brightly at Yang Wei.

“In that case, let me beat the shit out of you until not even your face can be recognized as a joke then.” She added.

Yang Wei was stunned by her sarcastic remark.

‘B-Beat the shit out of me until my face is disfigured? Women… are too dangerous to be messed with,’ He thought.

“F-Fang Xifeng, let’s not talk about fighting all the time. We should have a casual talk about our life experience to get to know each other.” Yang Wei said, hoping that Fang Xifeng would calm her anger even if it’s a little bit.

Fang Xifeng snorted coldly as she tried to slap Yang Wei across the face.

Yang Wei gasped in surprise as he quickly extended his hand out and grasped her wrist.

“H-How did you-” Fang Xifeng widened her eyes as she stared at Yang Wei.

“Y-Your cultivation base is significantly low so how did you manage to stop my slap?” She asked. 

It wasn’t just her being surprised since Yang Wei was also dumbfounded at how he was able to grasp her wrist and stop the slap.

‘W-What happened to my body?’ Yang Wei wondered silently.

His action was extremely natural when he blocked the slap.

‘C-Could this be related to those mutated impurities lingering in my body?’

Sometime later, Yang Wei released his grasp on her wrist as he quickly sat down in a lotus position.

He then closed his eyes as he began going into his soul consciousness to check what’s going on with his body.

By the time Yang Wei reached the location where the mutated impurities were spotted last time by Zhu Wenqian, he couldn’t help but become awestruck by the development.

“T-The mutated impurities… T-They are changing my spiritual roots?” Yang Wei mumbled as he glanced at the newly constructed spiritual root in his body.

The newly constructed spiritual root was glowing a dim but subtle light, almost like it was filled with life.

In addition to the glowing light, Yang Wei could see the spiritual root had begun extending its branches out, almost like it’s growing into a big tree.

Yang Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he could never have imagined such an unexpected event to occur.

Unable to comprehend the situation, Yang Wei decided to send a mental transmission to Fan Ping.

After explaining what had occurred to his spiritual root, Fan Ping swiftly replied in excitement.

“Unbelievable… to be able to reconstruct your spiritual root and have such a miraculous change.” 

“Can you determine what’s my current rank in the spiritual root?” Yang Wei asked.

Since he had never seen such a thing in his life, he couldn’t tell what rank his spiritual root was.

“Yang Wei, close your eyes and imagine projecting your vision through the projection screen. That way, I would be able to see your spiritual roots clearly with the usage of the Pagoda’s features.” 

Yang Wei nodded his head.

He then followed Fan Ping’s instructions and projected the current view to Fan Ping.

When Fan Ping managed to see the actual spiritual root in Yang Wei’s body, his face quickly turned ashen white. 

‘T-This spiritual root… i-it’s the same as him.’ Fan Ping exclaimed inwardly in shock.

“What’s the spiritual root rank, Senior Fan Ping?” Yang Wei asked when Fan Ping didn’t reply to him for some time.

Fan Ping shook his head in disbelief as he coughed slightly.

“D-Don’t worry about the current spiritual root rank, Yang Wei. Just know that the newly constructed spiritual root of yours is extremely rare and that it would boost your cultivation, agility, and awareness to a new height.” Fan Ping said.
