Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 69: Qi Rejuvenation Pill (2)

Knowing how he only had one attempt left, Yang Wei wanted to make sure everything was perfect but considering the women spectating him, he couldn’t help but become nervous.

Thus, Yang Wei heaved a soft sigh as he asked, “Is it possible to concoct the Qi Rejuvenation pill alone?”

The pressure was immense when two women were staring at him without blinking at all, most likely they were in anticipation of another facial make-up.

“Nope, I’m going to spectate since I’m considered your senior. How can a junior kick a senior out, it wouldn’t make any sense and it’s considered disrespectful.” Lian Xinyue shook her head as she rejected his pleas.

Yang Wei was rendered speechless by her shameless attitude. She is indeed a senior in terms of cultivation but he doubts she was any older than him.

“Hey, what’s with that expression of yours?” Lian Xinyue shouted and puffed out her chest.

Yang Wei quickly turned his head around to avoid staring at her chest since he doesn’t want to get another beating from Elder Jing after he got caught previously.

“Sigh, Lian Xinyue, it’s better for you to leave since you’re distracting Yang Wei in concocting the pill,” Elder Jing exclaimed and pointed to the exit for Lian Xinyue.

“WHAT?! You’re being too biased, Elder Jing. Yang Wei clearly meant for us to leave him alone but you’re telling me to leave while you get to stay is unfair.” Lian Xinyue argued, seemingly in disbelief, that Elder Jing is no longer impartial in her decision.

If it were still back then, Elder Jing would never favor any disciples and always give them the same treatment.

Heck, she was even scolded harshly once for making a minor mistake and was forbidden to enter the courtyard for two weeks.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in confusion.

‘What is the history between Elder Jing and Lian Xinyue?’ Yang Wei said inwardly since it was clear that Lian Xinyue is jealous of him for the treatment he received from Elder Jing.

Elder Jing cleared her throat shortly after and glared at Lian Xinyue. “I’m an experienced alchemist so of course, I need to be here to lecture Yang Wei in alchemy. Unless you think you are qualified enough to be the lecturer and that your skill is superior then feel free to stay here.”

Lian Xinyue became dumbfounded by her explanation. Elder Jing’s words were basically justifying herself to stay here and at the same time, kicking her out so she could be alone with Yang Wei.

‘Elder Jing, no, you are not the same Elder Jing I respected. Yang Wei, just what kind of medicine did you feed to Elder Jing.’ Lian Xinyue clenched her fist tightly and held a furious glare at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei shuddered slightly and swallowed his saliva nervously. He couldn’t understand what he did wrong to incur Lian Xinyue’s wrath on him.

“Elder Jing, this isn’t fair… I-I want to witness Yang Wei’s performance as well.” Lian Xinyue decided to go with the pitiful act to be closer to Elder Jing.

She wanted to earn back Elder Jing’s favor and was jealous of Yang Wei.

Although she does not know why Elder Jing would favor Yang Wei over her, she would do her very best to become the favored one again.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing had a headache from Lian Xinyue’s pitiful act. It was so ridiculous and amateur that she wanted to straight-up expose her but recalling her diligent work in her alchemy back in the sect, she decided to stay silent and looked at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei sighed inwardly.

In the end, his suggestion would be nullified by himself since he couldn’t just kick her out because he doesn’t want to have an audience.

With Elder Jing pushing the decision back to Yang Wei, he said, “Fine, both of you can stay but please don’t look at me solemnly because I can feel like a dagger piercing on my back and it’s not the most comfortable feeling.”

Lian Xinyue hurriedly nodded her head and in her mind, she was cheering loudly that she managed to stay. After all, it was more comfortable inside the cave than outside with many other disciples leering at her body.

Although they were loyal to the sect and didn’t desert them in the crucial time, she held zero romantic feelings with them. Not to mention, she felt safer by Elder Jing’s side since she could no longer detect her cultivation, meaning Elder Jing had a breakthrough.

After experiencing the life and death situation against the Purple Scorpion Sect, there was a bit of trauma left inside of her but she was unwilling to share it with anyone else.

She was a strong-willed and independent woman so if someone were to know that she was afraid because of the previous incident then it’ll be a disgrace for her.

While Lian Xinyue was in deep thought, Yang Wei has already begun his third attempt at refining the Qi Rejuvenation pill. He was taking his time slowly unlike the previous attempt as he wanted to make sure everything is flawless without any mistakes or rushing.

Sometime later, Yang Wei managed to extract all the herbs’ impurities out as he began the merging process.

‘Phew, remain calm and composed at all times.’ Yang Wei reminded himself as he controlled the flame temperature to a constant degree without any changes.

‘Perfect temperature control this time. Yang Wei has finally managed to pass the first condition of becoming a successive alchemist.’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she nodded her head in approval.

Lian Xinyue also held a dumbfounded gaze at Yang Wei and thought he was a freak. ‘Just what kind of freak is able to concoct a Qi Rejuvenation pill in three attempts as a beginner?’

The essence inside the cauldron started meshing together in a smooth manner and soon, the cauldron started blinking brightly as the essence began forming into a spherical shape.

“Success!”

Yang Wei shouted in excitement as he gushed the flame temperature higher and grabbed the dazzling pill that was just formed into his hand.
