Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 18: Herb Garden

“Wahhhhhh”

“The turbulence is insane in this portal compared to last time.”

“Everyone, get closer otherwise you may get separated from us.”

Entering the portal while holding Elder Jing’s soft and smooth hand, Yang Wei heard multiple screaming.

‘I don’t feel any turbulence from this portal which could only mean.’ Yang Wei looked at Elder Jing in shock when he figured out why he didn’t feel any impact.

Elder Jing has a solemn and serious expression on her face whereas Yang Wei was carefree which means that Elder Jing was protecting herself and Yang Wei at the same time.

Not willing to become a burden and slow her down, Yang Wei tried to increase his qi to form his own barrier before being interrupted.

“Don’t bother wasting your qi to form a barrier. The turbulence here is too strong and it wouldn’t help me in any way. Just focus on conserving your qi and protect me when we arrived there.” Elder Jing said as she continued to maximum the barrier.

*Bzzz*

The barrier started taking hits as they got closer to the light from the darkness. But Elder Jing wasn’t delighted at all as she went for a final push while holding Yang Wei’s hand tightly.

*Bang*

Yang Wei and Elder Jing both crashed into the ground as they exited the darkness and finally entered the mystery realm.

“Ugh, this mystery realm is troublesome.” Elder Jing said as she clutched her head from the previous impact before realizing something.

Elder Jing was sitting on top of Yang Wei and Yang Wei didn’t know what to say.

“Eh” Yang Wei tried to break the awkward silence but it completely backfired.

*Slap*

Elder Jing used her hand to slap Yang Wei’s face before getting up. “That didn’t happen and if this were to spread to a third party then you shall see what awaits you.”

Elder Jing said while activating her Nascent Soul’s aura to show Yang Wei the consequences.

“Of course, Elder Jing. Nothing happened and I already forgot about the incident.” Seeing the frightening aura, Yang Wei hurriedly shook his head and bootlicked her.

A nodding expression came from Elder Jing as they finally saw where they landed.

“A herb garden. To think our random spot is a jackpot.” Elder Jing exclaimed in surprise when she saw the multiple rare herbs being grown in this area.

Yang Wei was in awe as well when he saw this herb garden looking like a holy sanctuary, peaceful and serene.

“Look over there Yang Wei, that is a Fire Ginseng and it’s 300-500 years old.” Elder Jing exclaimed in an ecstasy manner.

Yang Wei also smiled when he saw Elder Jing being this happy for the first time.

‘Heh, to think I will ever get to see such a rare occurrence from Elder Jing is indeed a surprise.’ Yang Wei said inwardly until he saw Elder Jing acting extremely weird.

Elder Jing was running without having any guard up and trying to pick up the Fire Ginseng.

‘This is unusual.’ Yang Wei sensed something was wrong and hurriedly used his movement technique to chase after Elder Jing before holding her down.

*Bang*

“Let go of me Yang Wei, what are you doing?” Elder Jing said in a new tone and was acting abnormally.

Elder Jing tried to struggle but Yang Wei held both her wrist tightly before shouting loudly, “Wake up Elder Jing, you’re acting unusual.”

Elder Jing didn’t hear his word as she continued to kick him and stare at Yang Wei like an enemy.

‘Tch, so something mysterious is happening and it affected Elder Jing somehow.’ Yang Wei grabbed both her wrist with one hand as he tried to grab a pill bottle in his pocket.

While Yang Wei was trying to find the Calming Mind pill, Elder Jing resorted to biting Yang Wei’s hand.

“Ahh, damn it, Elder Jing’s cultivation is higher than me so even a normal bite hurts like hell.” Yang Wei screamed in pain at the unexpected move from her.

However, he refused to let go of her hand because he would never get another chance to hold her down.

If he let go due to some minor pain and Elder Jing met with any mishap, he will never forgive himself.

*Bite*

Elder Jing continued to bite his hand fiercely until Yang Wei finally found the pill before opening it.

“Elder Jing, apologies for the offense.” Yang Wei said as he stuffed the pill into her mouth where he touched her soft part of the lip.

*Gulp*

Elder Jing swallowed the pill that Yang Wei gave her and after a moment, she woke up with her consciousness.

When Elder Jing looked at what she was doing, an ashen face occurred in her because Yang Wei was on top of her.

*Booom*

Without asking anything, she unleashed her aura and slammed Yang Wei back.

“To think my eyesight could be wrong for the second time. You were no different than any other man.” Elder Jing shouted with a wrathful expression as she prepared to use another technique.

“Cough, Elder Jing, did you forget what happened when we entered. You were acting extremely weird so I had to force a pill onto you.” Yang Wei coughed a few drops of blood out while explaining himself.

Hearing Yang Wei’s words, Elder Jing recalls her memories and she remembers seeing a Fire Ginseng that was around 300-500 years old before she started acting irrationally.

A bit of embarrassment went into her face as she misunderstood Yang Wei’s conduct for being on top of her but didn’t want to admit her mistake.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that my spiritual qi was depleted to protect us both, I wouldn’t have been affected by the temptation.” Elder Jing said slowly after taking a deep breath.

“….”

Yang Wei was speechless by her shameless conduct but couldn’t rebuke her at all. After all, it was indeed a fact that he required her assistance to get past the turbulence of he would have been injured severely.

“Yes, everything Elder Jing said is correct. But what is the thing that affected your mind and behavior?” Yang Wei decided to change to another topic.

“It has to do with this mist that we’re in. It’s an illusion mist that can invade our mind and change our behavior.” Elder Jing said grimly when she looked at the surroundings thoroughly.
