Primordial Cultivator

Elder Shan's eyes were brimmed with rage as she continued to rant on about how Elder Jing lost her opportunity to form 9 petals.

"Ugh, I can't believe she would actually fall for those scum tricks." Elder Shan slammed her hand on the couch.

"Elder Shan relax for a moment." Yang Wei placed a hand on her shoulders as he tried to calm her down.

"Take a deep breath in and out." He instructed.

Elder Shan followed Yang Wei's instruction as she slowly controlled her breathing.

"Feel better now?"

Elder Shan nodded her head.

"Sigh, I always get agitated whenever I recall Jing Feng's future being tarnished by scum." She added.

Yang Wei was still confused as to who the scum was. Thus, he decided to ask Elder Shan if this scum she refers to was Yi Renshu.

"Is the scumbag Yi Renshu?"

"What?" Elder Shan raised an eyebrow as she shook her head.

"Although Yi Renshu is a top-notch scumbag, the person I'm referring to belongs in the Jing Clan."

"From the Jing Clan?"

"Yes, the scum tricked Jing Feng into falling in love with him. His devious scheme was too much for Jing Feng back then to handle."

Elder Shan then sighed softly as she stared at Yang Wei. "Don't mistake Jing Feng's cold attitude as her being prideful. She had been hurt and tricked by too many people in the past."

Yang Wei shook his head. "Never once had I thought Jing Feng was someone haughty and arrogant."

"I'm glad that Jing Feng finally found a man she could trust." Elder Shan smiled gently.

'Seems like Elder Shan and Jing Feng aren't just some rivals.' Yang Wei noted this in his mind when he saw Elder Shan's genuine concern for Elder Jing.

As much as he wished to learn more about Elder Jing through Elder Shan, Yang Wei decided to stay silent and wait.

It would be better to know about someone's past from the person itself, rather than listening to the story from a third party.

"Anyway, is it alright for me to guess that you're someone from the Central Zone?" Yang Wei suddenly asked.

Elder Shan twitched her brows. "Ai, seems like I kind of revealed my identity with that story right?"

Yang Wei nodded his head.

"Was I really that obvious?" Elder Shan asked.

"It was super obvious and I would be a retard if I didn't connect the dots." Yang Wei replied. "After all, Elder Shan hailing from the Jing Clan and Yi Renshu incident are both from the Central Zone."

Elder Shan raised her hand in surrender as she confirmed his information.

"Indeed, I also came from the Central Zone and my clan is actually quite connected with the Jing Clan." Elder Shan said as she retrieved an item.

The item was a glowing stone with the 'Shan' word engraved in it.

"This glowing stone is an item that proves my origin." Elder Shan said.

Afterward, she activated the glowing stone and soon, the 'Shan' word started illuminating brightly.

"If anybody that tries to activate this item and they do not have the bloodline from the Shan Clan then the word won't glow at all." Elder Shan explained.

Yang Wei was fascinated by the items created from the Central Zone. 'To think there is something like the glowing stone.'

Sometime later, Elder Shan stored back the glowing store in her storage ring.

"Anyway, are you really sure you want to join the expedition?" Elder Shan asked. "The expedition is unlike the inner disciple examination. There won't be any talisman protecting you or anyone canceling it midway."

Yang Wei smiled slightly. "I'm sure about my decision, Elder Shan."

And he continued, "Ever since I joined the sect, I have been protected left and right by powerful females. Honestly, it's a bit disappointing to know that I can't protect them instead."

Yang Wei sighed inwardly when he recalled all those dangerous events he had been in.

No matter how much he tried, he always remembered that it's either Elder Jing, Su Mingxia, or even a mysterious madam in the Ling City helping him out.

If he continued relying on them, Yang Wei feared that he would never reach the martial dao.

Seeing the determined Yang Wei, Elder Shan stopped trying to persuade him to change his mind.

"Alright, since you have decided to join then I'm not going to stop you." Elder Shan said as she walked toward the door.

Elder Shan then opened the door and smiled at Yang Wei, "You would receive the notification about the summon sometime tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Wei nodded his head as he stood up.

"See you tomorrow, Elder Shan." Yang Wei bid her farewell as he prepared to head back to Elder Jing's courtyard.

Elder Shan watched as Yang Wei disappeared from her sight with a gentle look.

'No wonder you managed to captivate Jing Feng's heart.' Elder Shan sighed softly as she pondered over the deception game she had played.

Sometime later, Yang Wei arrived back at Elder Jing's courtyard.

"Jing Feng, I'm back." Yang Wei said as he searched for her.

However, his movement halted when he saw Elder Jing refining some pills.

He decided to sit in the corner and wait for Elder Jing to finish her refinement.

'Hmm, it's probably going to take a while for Jing Feng to finish refining.' Yang Wei said silently when he saw the amount of herbs left on the floor.

Not willing to stay idle, Yang Wei decided to cultivate and tried to comprehend the petals around his lotus platform.

In his conscious soul, Yang Wei drifted around the lotus platform. He noticed a little seed bud in the middle of the lotus platform.

The seed bud was dimming a small blue light. Yang Wei decided to float closer toward the seed bud and realized it was absorbing some of his spiritual qi.

"Could it be that the seed bud's nutrient is my spiritual qi?" Yang Wei mumbled softly as he decided to test his theory.

With a thought, Yang Wei waved his hand and manipulated the surrounding spiritual qi to go closer toward the seed bud.
