Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 76: A blunder

“YEOWWWWWWWWW”

Elder Pao Huang screamed in agony when he felt the impact from Yang Wei’s kick in his stomach.

The other disciples paled in horror when they saw the amount of strength Yang Wei used.

“T-This guy is looking to die soon.”

“He’s just signed his death warrant for kicking that hard on Elder Pao Huang.”

“I know right… Elder Jing only said to kick him but not use such brutal strength.”

The disciples mumbled together as they wished to have nothing to do with Yang Wei since associating with him now would offend Elder Pao Huang.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue clapped her hands in amazement at the confidence Yang Wei has.

Not only did he have the confidence to leer at Elder Jing in close proximity, but he also dared to kick Elder Pao Huang awake without holding his strength.

Elder Pao Huang started to recover slowly because of his cultivation as he glared at the main culprit, Yang Wei.

“Hmph, as a mere outer disciple, you dared to kick me that hard and wake me up.” Elder Pao Huang stood up as he shouted at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s an order from Elder Jing so if you believe your status is higher than Elder Jing then feel free to target her.”

When Yang Wei finished his word, there was only silence in the crowd.

No one could have imagined Yang Wei to remain nonchalant after offending Elder Pao Huang but he also dared to rebuke him with Elder Jing.

Meanwhile, Elder Pao Huang felt a sudden chill as he imagined his fate going against Elder Jing would have a gruesome outcome.

“I told Yang Wei to kick you so do you have a problem?” Elder Jing suddenly said, causing everyone to stare at her in disbelief.

It was clear as day that Elder Jing was defending Yang Wei since she didn’t even get mad at him for using her name as a shield.

Elder Pao Huang shook his head and said, “There’s no problem at all. It was this old man’s fault for not waking up early and needed Elder Jing to intervene, causing our movement to be delayed.”

Who was he joking about? Complain to Elder Jing about her conduct is akin to asking for the death penalty.

Although he was still a bit angry at Yang Wei, he decided to ignore this issue and cursed at his own bad luck.

Yang Wei didn’t stay any closer to Elder Pao Huang in case he tried to do something sneaky with him so he went back to Elder Jing’s side.

“Aren’t you one confident lad?” Elder Jing sent a mental transmission to Yang Wei once he was near her.

“Isn’t it because Elder Jing’s reputation and status are so prestigious that I can use your name without fearing punishment?” Yang Wei kindly replied back to her.

Elder Jing chuckled softly as she was indeed a fearsome woman within the sect. Her eccentric behavior added with her unparalleled alchemy skills in the sect is enough to have zero people that would be trying to offend her.

Elder Pao Huang twitched his mouth slightly on the interaction between Elder Jing and Yang Wei.

‘Their relationship… aren’t they a little too ambiguous?’ Elder Pao Huang said inwardly as he decided to get rid of the thought of messing with Yang Wei. A senile old man like him must know when to act and when to stop and in this scenario, it calls for him to stop his action.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing cleared her throat to get everyone’s attention. “I’m sure many of you may have questions regarding why I woke you up but let me ask one thing first. What are we here for?”

“Pagoda inheritance!” The disciples shouted in unison, leaving only Yang Wei in confusion.

‘Everyone knows about the pagoda but me? Just what the hell am I even doing here for?’ Yang Wei cried inwardly when he was the only one lost. He came to this mysterious realm to increase his cultivation base but it seemed like everyone else has another agenda which is not a secret at all.

Elder Jing nodded her head before seeing Yang Wei in confusion.

‘Whoops… I forgot about telling Yang Wei the pagoda since we were in a rush.’ Elder Jing finally realized her blunder and understood his dilemma.

Elder Jing glanced at Lian Xinyue briefly and asked her, “Lian Xinyue, please explain the pagoda to have the disciples remember their duty.”

Lian Xinyue was dumbfounded as she wasn’t an idiot for not knowing the reason why she must explain. Everyone else in here knows about the pagoda except for a certain person who looked lost, Yang Wei.

The favoritism was so obvious that even the male disciples gritted their teeth in envy and jealousy filled their eyes.

Yang Wei can feel his back being glared at by multiple people that their eyes feel like a dagger, stabbing him.

Lian Xinyue laughed at his dilemma as she decided to be nice for once and thank him for saving her life from Xian Min. ‘Fine, seeing how you never held any lewd and lustful gaze at me, I shall educate you.’

Thus, Lian Xinyue cleared her throat slightly before explaining how every sect gathered together for the pagoda in hopes of obtaining its inheritance and the pagoda itself which is considered a treasure among them.

“The pagoda is always open for others to try their best in completing its trial which is random every time the mysterious realm opens so there’s no point in trying to study the previous trials as it is always different.” Lian Xinyue said and continued.

“However, that does not mean every sect has given up hopes as they strived their best to obtain the pagoda for their own use. Not to mention, the abundant herbs and spiritual treasure scattered around was enough profit even if they failed the trial in the pagoda.”

Yang Wei nodded his head in understanding before asking everyone an abnormal question. “Then do any of you have a mysterious shadow in your dream, telling you that the pagoda will soon open up?”
