Chapter 90: Revealing the Truth (2/2)

Yang Wei tried to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming and thought this would be the most humorous outcome.

Alas, Yang Wei can feel his cheek burning from the pinch he did and stared at Elder Jing with a dumbfounded expression.

Never did he expect the secret he tried so hard to hide from Elder Jing was already long exposed during their first-ever meeting.

Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders as she gave up on him.

”You have always been acting suspiciously when concerning this topic yet it was simply about your soul.” Elder Jing exclaimed and continued.

”I'm an alchemist for heaven's sake, Yang Wei. Did you really think I'm a fraud or a quack to not be able to sense a cultivator's soul?”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he had no words to counter Elder Jing's words. He had tried alchemy previously and knew how much soul and concentration are required to refine a single pill.

You must have high tenacity and dedication to sit for long hours for a pill creation that could also have a chance of failure despite the numerous hours spent on perfecting it.

Not everyone could accept such tedious work that doesn't even guarantee success, hence the low number of alchemists in this world and the reason why they are held in high regard.

”I-If you knew that my soul is different then why did you keep silent all this time? I was always worried that you would find out the truth and would start avoiding me.” Yang Wei exclaimed with a depressed tone.

BOINK!

Elder Jing suddenly did a karate chop on Yang Wei's head, causing him to stumble backward as he fell down slightly as he rubbed his head.

”Why did you smack me?” Yang Wei asked.

”When did you turn into such a fool, Yang Wei? Things have been going too smoothly for you and it's starting to affect your mindset.” Elder Jing sighed as she shook her head.

”When I first met you, there was an aura around you that seemed to be preventing others from approaching you. Not only that, your eyes were crystal clear with you striving forward to achieve your goal. But after numerous successes without many setbacks in your cultivation path, you started to lose focus on your original goal.”

Elder Jing's voice resounded inside Yang Wei's mind as he started to recall his journey to the sect and applying for the sect, into coming to this mysterious realm, fighting multiple people with his sword technique.

Yang Wei started closing his eyes as he remembered his cultivation path has started to stray away from his original goal and mindset.

At the same time, he started entering into a similar state like enlightenment but not quite as it wasn't a state to improve his cultivation but rather a state to improve his mind and to solidify his foundation.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing smiled briefly at Yang Wei who had already isolated himself from the rest of the world.

'I have done my part already, Yang Wei. Whether or not you can learn something from this state depends on your ability.'

Elder Jing said inwardly as she walked toward her bed and proceeded to sit in a lotus position to cultivate.
