Chapter 40: Leaving the Secret Herb Garden (2) (1/2)
”This symbol was here the entire time yet I went past this area multiple times,” Elder Jing questioned herself since she didn't know how she missed this symbol.
Taking another few minutes to wonder, Elder Jing concludes that it could only be related to Senior Ling who is secretly helping behind the scene.
'Other than Senior Ling who knew this place with his eyes closed, there is no other possibility.'
Although Elder Jing does not know why Senior Ling refused to show up, she knew he must have his reason to do so.
Thus, she didn't linger on this topic anymore as she searched for the rest of the symbol before analyzing it.
The symbol was only one piece and it's like a jigsaw puzzle where you have to find every one of them before being able to get a clear picture of activating it.
The process requires a lot of patience and time since deciphering one wrong thing could disrupt the formation to fail or possibly create an unstable version.
Elder Jing took another few hours to find all the symbols before memorizing them in her brain.
Afterward, she landed next to Yang Wei who was in a lotus position with his eye closed.
Sensing someone nearby, Yang Wei knew it was Elder Jing so he stopped cultivating and smiled at her.
”You found all the symbols already?”
”Mhmm, now we just gotta decipher the symbol so we can activate the teleportation formation to get out of here.”
Elder Jing said as she flicked her hand and the symbols started to appear on the ground.
The symbol dropped on the ground had an ordinary aura without anything special but the drawing in it was some sort of ancient language.
Yang Wei's jaw became wide open when he saw the complex drawing on those symbols.
”These are formation symbols. They seem more like a bunch of random drawings that are drawn by little kids.” Yang Wei said as he looked at the curly lines of one particular symbol.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing used her hand to knock on Yang Wei's head slightly in displeasure.
”No wonder why you're isolated in the sect. Such a country bumpkin who has not seen the world yet.” Elder Jing sneered at Yang Wei before continuing.
”These symbols and drawing are extremely profound. If you simply use your naked eye to see it, there would be nothing more than a random line. However, if you use your spiritual sense, you can see the concentration of aura in it.”
Elder Jing explained briefly about the symbols to educate Yang Wei for his lack of knowledge and disrespectful remarks.
Yang Wei simply scratched his head in embarrassment and started to close his eyes to use his spiritual sense.
When Yang Wei started to analyze the symbols, he became awestruck by the purity of the true qi embedded in it.
”T-this aura is so pure that my spiritual core starts to get agitated.” Yang Wei exclaimed in surprise when he can feel his cultivation improve slightly by absorbing the little bit of true qi that is emitting from the symbols.
Elder Jing smirked when she saw the amateur behavior of Yang Wei. 'This brat is truly one who has not seen the cultivation world.'
