《Primordial Cultivator》Mist of Hallucination (2)
Advertisement
"So what's your decision, my little Yang Wei." Elder Jing asked again as she started opening her palm where she coats it with spiritual qi.
Feeling the intense pressure, Yang Wei can no longer hide his secret and gave off a soft sigh.
"If I said my secret, promise you will not harm me or isolate me in any way." Yang Wei looked at Elder Jing in the eye solemnly.
'My next sentence will kill me so I need to have insurance.' Yang Wei said inwardly.
Taking a few moments to think, Elder Jing was contemplating on whether she should agree with Yang Wei's condition or not.
'This Yang Wei was never the type to add some condition so his word should be offensive enough to have me enrage.' Elder Jing wonders in her mind before deciding.
"Ok, but there's a catch. Since you've offered a condition, I will offer mine as well and it's related to alchemy. If I can't harm you in any way then I will stop teaching you alchemy." Elder Jing said smirkingly when she counters Yang Wei's condition.
An ashen face instantly appeared on his face when he heard Elder Jing's word to stop teaching him alchemy.
'This is straight-up threatening me to take back my condition so she could thrash me into a pulp.'
Yang Wei wanted to scream unfair but knowing this is a cultivation world where the strong rule the weak, he could only become helpless.
"You win Elder Jing, I will take back my condition but please be lenient since I have some credits in stopping this mist." Yang Wei said pitifully to try and get Elder Jing to soften her attitude.
Seeing the pitiful behavior Yang Wei is acting, Elder Jing nodded lightly and awaited his answer.

*Breathes*
Inhaling and exhaling a bit, Yang Wei slowly said, "The reason why I came to know that it's our smell and aura that activated the mist of hallucination is because…. I-I smelled your perfume back when we collapsed together. Since my body was on the bottom of the ground, it coated some of the soil in this garden and I didn't use any spiritual qi so the mist didn't invade me but you."
Yang Wei stopped for a moment and eyed Elder Jing secretly where she was about to erupt in anger when he mentioned that embarrassing part where he managed to touch her in an area that no men could hope for.
Not trying to stall any longer, Yang Wei hurriedly continued, "Due to your aura and smell being the polar opposite of the garden, the formation here detects you as an intruder and thus invaded your mind. If it weren't for Elder Jing's magnificent sacrifice in protecting me, I would have been affected first and we will most likely be consumed by the environment here."
When Yang Wei finished explaining most of the basics, Elder Jing already understood what happened and why the mist disappeared as soon as they concealed their aura and smell.
But there was a bashful face from Elder Jing where it became bright red like a tomato when she remembered about the previous incident.
'Damn it. This Yang Wei has taken my advantage when I have protected myself perfectly every time even when that person betrays me and tries to take my purity. Ugh, is this fate or some kind of jokes.'
Elder Jing was extremely frustrated as she turned around before screaming loudly to release her stress.
Yang Wei kept silent and dared not to make a single sound otherwise, he would really be limping everywhere for the duration of this mysterious realm.

"Hmph, since I know the way to avoid the hallucination mist, it's time to detect the formation in this area. There are so many herbs here but plucking them out will trigger some alarms for sure." Elder Jing finally calmed down as she became rational and cool again.
Yang Wei stopped fooling around as well to concentrate on the important stuff now.
If they don't find the formation and break it then they will be stuck here forever since they have to activate the exit mechanism here to leave.
"Elder Jing, I think we should split up and try to look for any symbols for the formation." Yang Wei suggested splitting up to be able to get out of here faster.
"No, we don't know how big this herb garden is and there might be more hidden danger around that we couldn't detect. Sticking together and walking slowly is better than dying without knowing why." Elder Jing rejected his suggestion.
Yang Wei thought for a bit and believed Elder Jing's plan was better than his so he followed her behind while looking at every nook and cranny.
Walking carefully this time, Elder Jing saw some symbol in the soil that is hidden well if it weren't for her keen eyesight.
"Seems like the person who managed this herb garden is a formation expert. There are over 300 lines in this symbol and it is placed all over this place and the amount of spiritual qi needed to activate it is immense." Elder Jing exclaimed in disbelief on who could possibly be strong to have this kind of formation.
'The unique herbs that could barely be found in the world is as common as grass in this place. Whoever this person is, they are definitely not something a Houtian cultivator can do? Could it be the legendary Xiantian realm?'
Elder Jing went ashen when she came to a conclusion that a Xiantian cultivator could be lurking around here.
"Yang Wei, we must hurry up and find every formation symbol that is scattered around here. That's the only way we can leave by activating the symbol one by one to leave this place." Elder Jing said in a hurry as she was cautious of someone hiding here.
"I understand Elder Jing." Yang Wei replied to her lightly while looking at the soil until Elder Jing shouted in anger again.
"Yang Wei, stop touching my shoulder, or do you really want to taste my fist." Elder Jing said when she felt a hand touching her shoulder from behind.
"I'm not even touching you Elder Jing." Yang Wei said in confusion when he wasn't even touching her.

8 145The Chronicles of Tyfoon, The Chosen One
For hundreds of years the galaxy was kept in order due to the diligent work of The Council, the number one authority in the whole galaxy, and their appointed guardian of the galaxy, The Chosen One. The Chosen One was the face of order and justice in the galaxy and was the head over all the galactic military forces, answering only to The Council themselves. But after a rebel enemy force known as the Doomaki rise to power, they overtake The Chosen One and his military forces, known as The Peacekeepers. One final battle leaves The Peacekeepers outnumbered and The Chosen One is overtaken and presumed dead. Just when it seems the galaxy might fall to the evil reign of the Doomaki, they disappear without a trace. With the thread of the Doomaki gone, the crippled galaxy begins to try and rebuild and find a new Chosen One to lead them and prepare for whatever new threats may come. Tyfoon, the Chosen One's only child, was born during the battle that his father disappeared in, and the ensuing battle left him without a mother as well, dying soon after childbirth. 18 years from that night pass and Tyfoon is ready to follow in his father's footsteps and serve The Council, perhaps to be The Chosen One when he is ready. But this plan is cut short when the Doomaki resurface and threaten everything dear to Tyfoon. Tyfoon must rise up and finish the task his father failed: defeat the Doomaki once and for all.
