Chapter 115: The Treasure
Yang Wei regained his composure as he turned around and looked Elder Jing in the eyes.
“What happened, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei then asked.
Elder Jing held a disbelief expression with an intention of just beating the crap out of Yang Wei.
He was about to walk in the beaming light blindly without checking if there were any hidden traps yet he had the galls to question her.
“Are you playing dumb or are you seriously ignorant at what you were doing previously?” Elder Jing lost her cool as she fired back.
Yang Wei scratched his head slightly as he really didn’t have a clue about what happened.
‘I remember entering here with Elder Jing and then somehow I felt like my conscience was becoming wavy until Elder Jing grabbed onto my shoulders.’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he showed an innocent expression.
“Elder Jing, please forgive me but I didn’t know what I was doing,” Yang Wei said in a serious tone, causing Elder Jing to become dumbfounded.
“You’re saying that you don’t recall walking toward that beam of light in the center?” Elder Jing asked, hoping to make sure of something.
“Un, I have no recollection of it until Elder Jing intervened,” Yang Wei nodded.
Elder Jing rubbed her chin slowly and said after a while, “You might really be a descendant of a powerful cultivator since your body seems to resonate with the things in here.”
Yang Wei held a gawking expression before laughing it off. “Elder Jing, stop with the tease already. If that’s really the case then shouldn’t I have some senile old man watching over me in the background, protecting me?”
Yang Wei was unable to believe Elder Jing’s deduction as it made no sense.
He recalls his birth and that his parents have never shown any cultivation technique. They were only a lowly mortal just like the humans on Earth without any spiritual qi.
“Hmm, how could you be so sure that they were mortals at that time?” Elder Jing then asked.
“Uhhh-”
Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he only guessed they were mortal because they couldn’t even resist against a cultivator.
Elder Jing sighed softly as she decided to leave this topic for another day since the most important thing right now is to figure out what that beaming light is for.
“Let me use my spiritual sense to see if I can deduct anything unusual.” Elder Jing said as she closed her eyes.
Afterward, her spiritual sense covers the entire area without leaving any nook and cranny.
Sometime later, Elder Jing reopened her eyes and said, “There are no hidden mechanisms anywhere and it seemed to be safe to walk ahead.”
And she continued, “However, we must still keep our guards up at all times since our spiritual sense can sometimes be faulty due to some abnormal things.”
Yang Wei nodded as they slowly walked toward the center and up the staircase with their guards raised.
Just in case some unexpected situation happens, they would be prepared to handle it swiftly without panicking.
Luckily for them, there was no such thing as Elder Jing and Yang Wei saw a book lying on the stone table that was emitting light.
“Just a book?” Yang Wei was dumbfounded to see it was a book that could cause such a phenomenon to occur.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing turned solemn as she said, “It might not be a book but a martial technique. One that is extremely profound to create a phenomenal scene.”
Yang Wei brightened up as he never expected they could get some fruitful encounter after getting evicted out from the Pagoda.
“Haha, doesn’t that mean we are blessed by heaven in discovering these,” Yang Wei said happily.
Elder Jing didn’t have many expressions but Yang Wei could tell her mood has become better.
“Don’t be too happy yet Yang Wei, we have to first scroll through the martial technique first,” Elder Jing chuckled softly and grabbed the marital technique once she made sure there were no traps.
Afterward, Elder Jing opened the martial technique with a smile before having her complexion turning dark by the minute.
By the time, Elder Jing finished scanning through the martial technique, rage could be seen from her eyes, causing Yang Wei to shudder as he wasn’t able to scan the martial technique with her.
Yang Wei was letting Elder Jing read through the martial technique first given her profound experience when compared to him. Thus, he was sure Elder Jing would relay the information back to him when she was done.
Alas, he never expected Elder Jing to become angry to the point of wanting to shred the martial technique in half.
“What kind of garbage cultivator would cultivate this kind of technique to the peak?” Elder Jing yelled loudly in anger as she threw the martial technique on the ground.
Confused, Yang Wei slowly went and picked up the martial technique before opening it to read.
“Amazing cultivation technique that benefits two people and helps them increase their cultivation base at a rapid pace in a blissful and lovely moment.” Yang Wei read the long description with a confused expression.
All cultivation techniques he learned so far were through gruesome practice and dedication to comprehend its technique. Thus, he was confused to read that this cultivation technique does not require any extensive form of practice.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing just finished calming down her anger before realizing the martial technique book she threw was gone.
Glancing around, she saw Yang Wei turning the page to read it with a pale expression.
“Drop the martial technique book down now,” Elder Jing screamed and tried to snatch the book from Yang Wei.
Alas, it was already too late as Yang Wei managed to read the first step in cultivating this amazing treasure they found by luck.
“Find your other half to benefit from this technique with you.” Yang Wei mumbled softly.
