Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 79: Not Again

Yang Wei ignored the envious gaze from the male disciples as he walked toward Elder Jing’s tent.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue pouted slightly and was pondering whether or not to intrude in as well.

‘Ugh, Elder Jing is being too unfair. Why invite Yang Wei only and not me?’ Lian Xinyue kicked a rock in the ground as it flew toward the tree, creating a small hole in it.

When the disciples saw the impact of that seemingly light kick to contain such deadly force, they scurried away to their tent and mind their own business.

Although Lian Xinyue seemed calm on the surface, it was clear for them to see that she was actually angry. If they still show up in front of her then they’re asking for a beating.

Thus, Lian Xinyue was left alone in the dust as everyone went to their own tent whereas Elder Pao Huang is deep asleep once again. He hadn’t had enough sleep yet and needed to gain back his precious time.

“Damn it, everyone is just leaving me alone.” Lian Xinyue gritted her teeth as she couldn’t find a person to vent her anger.

Lian Xinyue glanced at Elder Jing’s tent and clenched her fist. 

‘Damn it, I get scolded, then I get scolded, I must see what they’re doing inside the tent.’ Lian Xinyue said inwardly as she mustered up her courage as she approached the tent closer.

Meanwhile, inside the tent, Yang Wei was sitting in a lotus position as he swallowed a Qi Rejuvenation pill from Elder Jing.

“Consume it well and start recovering your true qi. You spent the time yesterday refining the Qi Rejuvenation pill which exhausted your true qi so you must quickly recover.” Elder Jing exclaimed from the side.

Yang Wei had his eyes closed as he could slowly feel the effect from the pill start working as he managed to absorb the spiritual qi quicker into his core.

At the same time, Yang Wei was dumbfounded by the effectiveness of this pill so he asked, “Elder Jing, how come this Qi Rejuvenation pill works faster than the ones you handed over to Elder Pao Huang and the rest yesterday.”

Elder Jing stumbled slightly upon hearing his question. 

She cleared her throat before saying, “The Qi Rejuvenation pill I handed over is only around 70-80 percent purity but the one you consumed is about 94-97 percent.”

Yang Wei’s eyes flickered in excitement when he heard her words. ‘Elder Jing left the best pill for me and only gives the rest a common one?’

Elder Jing blushed slightly as she quickly shouted, “Stop asking questions and focus on your recovery otherwise, the pill will be wasted.”

“Yes, Elder Jing,” Yang Wei replied with a cheerful mood as he absorbed the spiritual qi faster than ever.

“Idiot,” Elder Jing mumbled softly. 

Alas, Yang Wei was too focused on recovering his true qi that he couldn’t hear her words.

However, Lian Xinyue who just entered the tent was dumbfounded when she heard Elder Jing’s words right as she came inside the tent.

‘U-Unbelievable,’ Lian Xinyue sighed inwardly as she couldn’t imagine what Yang Wei did to melt her ice and cold heart that has been shut ever since the time she knew about Elder Jing.

Elder Jing who was still blushing sensed someone was lurking by as she turned around and was shocked to see Lian Xinyue entered her tent without permission.

“You-” Elder Jing pointed her finger at Lian Xinyue who yelped aloud like a cat being scared.

Yang Wei stopped his recovery when he heard a commotion. He stood up slowly and turned around, only to be dumbstruck by Lian Xinyue’s appearance.

‘She didn’t barge into Elder Jing’s tent to toy with me again right?’ Yang Wei asked inwardly as he couldn’t imagine why she would enter without permission.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue became awkward as she started twirling her hair around with her finger with her head lowered down.

Elder Jing was rendered speechless by her bold move and wondered inwardly if she heard her last word. 

‘This Lian Xinyue, I have spoiled her too much back in the sect that she has the courage to barge inside my tent.’ Elder Jing sighed softly.

“Do you have an explanation for your action, Lian Xinyue?” Elder Jing asked.

Lian Xinyue nodded her head and then shook her head, clearly unsure of what to answer.

“I think Lian Xinyue just wanted to hand me something.” Yang Wei suddenly said as he approached Lian Xinyue.

Afterward, he made a grabbing motion and placed it inside his spatial ring. 

“Apparently, I dropped something on our journey and Lian Xinyue wanted to give it back to me.” Yang Wei turned around and faced Elder Jing as he said slowly.

Although it was a lie that he didn’t drop something, Yang Wei didn’t feel like making the situation escalate since it was Lian Xinyue who barged inside and not others. 

If it were a male or even other disciples that don’t have a close relationship with Elder Jing then the situation would have most likely resulted in a cripple cultivation base.

After all, barging inside an elder’s tent is unforgivable, added with the fact that Elder Jing is a female is only going to make it worse, especially when she held an authority higher than anyone here.

Elder Jing also didn’t seem to want to punish Lian Xinyue but she was clearly in a dilemma as she needed to warn Lian Xinyue that such behavior is unacceptable. 

Thus, Yang Wei decided to step in and help Elder Jing out.

Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh as she nodded her head. 

Yang Wei was still terrible at lying since trying to fake something in front of her was pointless but she didn’t expose him.

“Given the fact that you barge inside to deliver something back to Yang Wei, I shall forgive you this once but it doesn’t mean you’re free of punishment.” Elder Jing said softly as she retrieved the dark and purplish pill out.

‘Not again!’ 

Lian Xinyue paled when she saw the same, devilish pill that caused her to suffer an unimaginable humiliation and dignity.
