Chapter 23: The First Test (1) (1/2)
”Since Senior Ling said we need the herbs in here to be able to concoct a pill for Elder Jing to detoxify the poison in her body. Does that mean you know how to connect the pill as well?” Yang Wei stepped forward and stood in front of him.
Old Ling smiled when he saw the courage Yang Wei has despite knowing that he was from the desolate era.
However, Yang Wei does not know anything about the desolate era nor the current era because he transmigrated in a poor mortal family.
For a mortal, they don't have any information regarding cultivators besides trying to live their everyday life in peace.
”That is correct but you'll have to pass all three of my tests to have my assistance in concocting the pill for your little girl.” Old Ling said teasingly where Elder Jing became bashful and enraged.
”I'm not his little girl Senior Ling. He is my medicine boy.” Elder Jing retorted but her expression exposed her.
It's not wrong to say that Elder Jing has no romantic feeling for Yang Wei since she was just having him help her out.
But there's still a spark that erupted in Elder Jing's heart when she saw Yang Wei's conviction.
”Okay, whatever you say little girl. Before we begin, I forgot about asking for both of your names.” Old Ling suddenly said when he just realized he kept saying, little girl and little boy.
”Yang Wei”
”Jing Feng”
Elder Jing and Yang Wei said their name simultaneously where Yang Wei became surprised to hear Elder Jing's full name for the first time.
'Jing Feng, so that's Elder Jing's full name huh.' Yang Wei said inwardly as he looked at Elder Jing.
”Stop gawking at me when you have to fight. Also, just because you know my full name does not mean you have the permission to say it. I'm still Elder Jing.” Elder Jing said while moving away a bit to give them space to fight.
”Haha, see that Yang Wei, look at my matchmaking skills. Remember to send an invitation to your wedding banquet soon.” Old Ling said teasingly.
However, Yang Wei remained composed as he figured out his little tactic to get an advantage already.
”You can give up trying to disturb my mind since I won't get embarrassed by your teasing which will ruin my fighting in you. I will take you down with everything I got.” Yang Wei said as he unsheathes his sword to prepare to fight.
Old Ling's face went from laughing to a serious face as he stopped underestimating Yang Wei. He was trying to distract his mind so he would become unbalanced during the fight to give him an edge.
After all, he has stopped fighting for 1000 years despite his high cultivation ever since he became the garden keeper. His life has simply revolved around taking care of the herb and making sure they grow.
”Very good, to think my little strategy was found out in the instant. Before we begin, I guess I have to limit my cultivation to the same as yours to make it fair.”
Old Ling said as he limited his cultivation base into the 4th stage Qi Condensation realm, the same as Yang Wei.
Although both their cultivation is the same, the aura they emitted is completely different.
Yang Wei's aura was lacking compared to Old Ling who has experienced many fighting where he has a murderous aura forming naturally.
Old Ling starts using his spiritual qi and it forms a sword that is brimming with life.
'Isn't that the sword technique that Elder Jing gave me wrong in the beginning?' Yang Wei was shocked when he saw Old Ling condense a sword casually.
”Haha, little Yang Wei, don't be too surprised because I'm just using the technique you learned so far. You may have only condensed a tiny dagger but it can't escape my eyesight.” Old Ling said casually when he saw the surprised reaction from Yang Wei.
