Chapter 23: The First Test (1)
“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 an 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 beca bashful and enraged.
“I’m not his little girl Senior Ling. He is my dicine 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 nas.” 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 na simultaneously where Yang Wei beca surprised to hear Elder Jing’s full na for the first ti.
‘Jing Feng, so that’s Elder Jing’s full na huh.’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he looked at Elder Jing.
“Stop gawking at when you have to fight. Also, just because you know my full na does not an 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. Rember 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 beco 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 beca 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 sa as yours to make it fair.”
Old Ling said as he limited his cultivation base into the 4th stage Qi Condensation realm, the sa as Yang Wei.
Although both their cultivation is the sa, 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 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.
Old Ling starts to swing the sword ford by true qi randomly to get the gist of it and Elder Jing furrowed her brows in this change of montum.
“As expected for a cultivator from the desolate era. Just one look and he can see all our secrets effortlessly.” Elder Jing mumbled softly as Yang Wei’s chance of winning beca lower.
Yang Wei closed his eyes slowly to calm down before reopening them.
“Here I co, senior.” Yang Wei shouted as he used his movent technique to beco faster as he swung his sword to his left side.
*Slash*
However, Yang Wei’s speed is nothing in front of Old Ling as he easily used his sword to block his strike.
Yang Wei wasn’t disappointed that he couldn’t get a hit in as he stepped back a bit before watching his movent.
‘Old Ling can see my action within a second so my chance of winning is really not favorable.’ Yang Wei couldn’t help but feel excited.
To be able to fight soone of his caliber was not sothing you can do every day and only by fighting can one improve themselves.
Yang Wei starts to activate the inscription in the sword to increase its prowess.
“Oh, a spiritual sword of the Earth grade category. Didn’t expect that at all.” Old Ling said but Yang Wei ignored his comnt.
Yang Wei continued to swing his sword onto Old Ling, hoping to deal at least so damage.
Bang!
Shing!
Their swords continue to clang and collide with each other where Yang Wei continues to attack without stopping.
Sparks continue to fly off everywhere and Old Ling had no choice but to cast a barrier around them as he didn’t wish to damage his precious herb.
Yang Wei was exhausted from fighting him as he couldn’t even find a single weak spot throughout their fight and he continued to drain more true qi in his body.
“Hehe, have you finished already Yang Wei? The fight has just begun.” Old Ling smirked as he started to attack for the first ti.
*Swoosh*
Old Ling vanished and went behind Yang Wei.
“Behind you, Yang Wei,’ Old Ling said as he started to strike his sword at the back of Yang Wei.
Yang Wei reacted in ti because of his warning but it was not enough as he barely managed to block.
“Argh,” Yang Wei scread in pain from the impact on his sword.
The force of the attack from Old Ling was so powerful that Yang Wei was sent flying 10m away despite blocking it.
His hand started to beco numb and almost lost his grip on the sword.
‘Damn it, everything cos to my inexperience.’ Yang Wei cursed inwardly when he couldn’t even make Old Ling sweat a bit yet he dared to boast about taking revenge for Elder Jing.
