Chapter 92: Unable to Improve (1/2)
Yang Wei walked closer to Lian Xinyue and whispered softly, ”What happened to those sect members?”
Lian Xinyue glanced at the member that Yang Wei was secretly pointing at and she smirked.
”They were fighting over a spiritual treasure and were about to do a life and death battle until the sect elders from the Tyrant Lion Sect and Phoenix Sky Sect went over to stop them.” Lian Xinyue replied softly.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly and wondered if everyone in the cultivation world is prone to fighting.
They knew the pagoda was about to appear and hidden inside could have valuables better than the spiritual treasure they're fighting over yet still fight to the point of trying to kill each other.
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue seemed to know what Yang Wei was thinking as she quickly explained their reason.
”Yang Wei, you entered the sect extremely late so you don't know how many grudges the sect have against each other.” Lian Xinyue said and continued.
”Everyone here is simply using the spiritual treasures as an excuse to eliminate their enemy. After all, the spiritual treasures that are laying in the ground are basically worthless since they're either destroyed or have limited time before decaying into dust.”
Yang Wei was flabbergasted as he could have never imagined the spiritual treasures were just an excuse to fight.
'W-Wait, doesn't that mean the two sects, Burning Sword Sect and Azure Sword Sect that were fighting against each other and disrupted our time back in the cave when we're alone was because of a grudge?' Yang Wei pondered inwardly before recalling Old Jiang's words.
Yang Wei remembered Old Jiang from the Azure Sword Sect uttered that he was supposedly the number one swordsman and that he deserved the title before finishing Old Lang off.
”I see how it is now,” Yang Wei became enlightened about the farce between multiple sects as he thanked Lian Xinyue for explaining things to him.
Lian Xinyue held a haughty expression, almost like she was proud of being more knowledgeable than Yang Wei.
”Heh, you may have been lucky to be able to refine a Qi Rejuvenation pill in your third attempt but I'll have you know one thing.” Lian Xinyue exclaimed as she walked closer and whispered softly.
”When I was being tested by Elder Jing, I managed to refine a pill in my first attempt.”
Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression as he stared at Lian Xinyue in admiration.
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue chuckled inwardly as she didn't mention that the pill she refined was a beginner pill with its difficulty many times lower than the pill that Yang Wei had to refine.
'Heh, Yang Wei doesn't need to know this information since I didn't really lie to him but merely spoke half the truth.' Lian Xinyue exclaimed inwardly as she puffed her chest up to make Yang Wei see her in a different light.
However, she was soon disappointed as Yang Wei merely clapped his hand in admiration and complimented her without a hint of jealousy.
”Amazing Lian Xinyue, I didn't know you actually had such talents before until now.” Yang Wei said softly.
'S-Such talents before until now?' Lian Xinyue repeated his words inwardly before realizing his double meaning.
