Primordial Cultivator

"Senior, what do you mean by pagoda?" Yang Wei turned around when he finally regained his movement.

However, he was disappointed to see nothing else but darkness around him.

'Just who is this senior and why is he telling me to climb the pagoda?' Yang Wei questioned inwardly as he ponders his motive.

Many people entered this mystery realm so either that mysterious shadow informed everyone here or is it just him alone.

The only thing that Yang Wei could think of that can make people interested in him is his soul.

His powerful soul that does not belong to this world is the only thing boosting his ability.

"Ugh, so many puzzling factors here," Yang Wei scratched his head since he couldn't think anymore.

Shortly after, Yang Wei's consciousness was pulled out from the darkness, and woke up in the real world.

"Yang Wei, you're alright?"

The first thing he hears is Elder Jing asking if he's alright and a smile appeared on Yang Wei's face.

"I'm alright Elder Jing. Where's Senior Ling?" Yang Wei said as he got up from the bed he's lying in.

"Senior Ling is busy connecting a pill at this moment. It's been 3 days since he started so we can't disturb him." Elder Jing replied as she got up to grab some porridge she made.

'Senior Ling is concocting a pill? Is he going to help Elder Jing dispel the poison?' Yang Wei was confused since he remembered that he lost the second test.

There was no reason for Old Ling to help him out since he failed the second test miserably.

It wasn't even close and Yang Wei knew just how hard it is to fight against people in the higher realm.

Clutching his fist, Yang Wei wanted to punch himself to wake up from dreaming. 'Just because I was a bit successful in cultivation, I became arrogant and cocky. Thank god this second test made me realize to correct my attitude before it's too late.'

"Stop thinking and eat the porridge. Although cultivators don't need to eat and rely on spiritual qi to fill their hunger, you'll still need some nourishment." Elder Jing said as she scooped some porridge in a spoon before blowing it to make it cooler.

Elder Jing held the spoon as she started shoving it closer to Yang Wei's mouth.

A blush appeared on Yang Wei in this intimate action of Elder Jing. Closing one of his eyes, Yang Wei opened his mouth for Elder Jing to spoon-feed.

*Gulp*

"T-That was the most delicious porridge I have ever tasted in my life," Yang Wei swallowed it and complimented the food.

He wasn't dense and knew this porridge was made by Elder Jing since he saw some burned mark in her palm when she was scooping some porridge.

'How can I not be happy and thankful to have someone caring about me?' Yang Wei smiled blissfully.

"If it's delicious then… eat more," Elder Jing's face became a bit red when she saw Yang Wei staring at her.

She continued to spoon-feed him until Yang Wei finished the entire bowl. A lovely atmosphere blooms at this moment as they both stare at each other.

Although the time they met is considered short, they have already gotten close enough where her secret is almost exposed completely thanks to Old Ling.

"Umm… Elder Jing, I-I," Yang Wei tried to say something as he started reaching his hand to try and hold Elder Jing.

Elder Jing didn't miss his action but she didn't plan on dodging it either. She lowered her head slightly since she decided to follow her instinct instead of reasoning.

When Yang Wei was about to touch Elder Jing's hand, a sudden cough interrupted them.

"Cough, sorry to break your lovely atmosphere but this is still my house so don't you think it's a bit rude to try and do something naughty in someone's house?"

Old Ling appeared out of nowhere and Yang Wei wanted to punch him for interrupting him at this exact moment.

'Didn't you say you're the matchmaker then what's with this cliche scene where you come in and ruin my moment?' Yang Wei cursed inwardly.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Wei didn't want to back down after going this far, so he continued his previous action to hold Elder Jing's hand who tried to get up and leave.

"Y-Yang Wei?" Elder Jing asked in surprise.

'This boy is pretty gutsy. To think he still continued to go for it even though I disturbed them in the perfect timing. People with a soul in another world are truly different from how we act.' Old Ling gave a soft sigh when Yang Wei didn't care about his presence.

"Jing Feng, I know I do not have the qualification to pursue you at all. However, please believe in me that I will do my best to catch up to you." Yang Wei said with determination brimming in his eye.

"You really got arrogant these days, Yang Wei. You even dared to touch me directly. Say that again when you manage to impress me." Elder Jing said before walking out of the room.

At the same time, she glared at Old Ling who was laughing from the side in this scenario.

'Was that a rejection or a hint to tell me to be stronger?' Yang Wei was dazed as he didn't know what to do in this outcome.

"Haha, you have guts but you lack the ability to understand a woman's feelings," Old Ling starts gloating on Yang Wei.

"Like you know how to understand a woman's feelings. You're just a lonely old man with no woman but the herbs beside you." Yang Wei said in a comeback.

"How dare your cheeky mouth talk bad about me? I'm your senior so respect me." Old Ling shouted while being fuming mad.

"A senior that lost the first fight against a youth. So much authority you got for a senior." Yang Wei smirked.

As Yang Wei and Old Ling continued to argue inside the room with none of them backing off to leave a way out, Elder Jing was outside running around.

'Ahh, was my tone too harsh on Yang Wei? No, it was the correct decision otherwise he will become another trash youths like many others in this world,' Elder Jing took a deep breath to calm her emotion.

Looking back at the room where their voice started intensifying, a soft giggle appeared on Elder Jing.

'Those two are fighting like children.' Elder Jing said inwardly as she waited for them to finish with no interest in joining their farce.
