Chapter 25: Reward for the First Test

“No need for the bootlicking talk. I’m not naive enough to fall for it.” Old Ling said since he knew Yang Wei was just trying to smooth talk him.

Yang Wei clicked his tongue a bit for failing to take some advantage and benefits from Old Ling.

“Since you don’t like flattery talk, then can we change the subject of the second test. After all, I don’t even have a battle spirit.” Yang Wei said slowly.

The second test was about having a strong soul power to form a battle spirit but Yang Wei has no knowledge or experience to even condense one.

To make things worse, it was the first time Yang Wei ever heard of the term battle spirit in his life.

“Heh, since I’m a generous man, here’s a manual for learning battle spirit.” Old Ling said as he flicks his hand and a manual appeared in front of Yang Wei.

“I won’t be able to learn it in a day,” Yang Wei tried to complain since having a manual doesn’t automatically grant him a battle spirit.

If any technique can be learned by just seeing it then everyone would be strong and powerful.

“Let me finish first before you get ahead of yourself. The reward for passing the first test is to have three herbs here that you want. You will have 2 weeks to inform me which herb you want and during that time, you will learn to form a battle spirit.” Old Ling said to interrupt Yang Wei’s complaint.

Yang Wei and Elder Jing didn’t mind staying here for another 2 weeks since Elder Jing said the time in the mystery realm operates differently in the outside world.

What may seem like 1 year or 3 years in the mystery realm, the outside world time would simply be like 3 months later.

Time in the mystery realm flows faster than the outside world which is why cultivators manage to improve a lot better here once they explore here.

The problem was the herb in here was not helpful toward Elder Jing and 2 weeks may not be enough for Yang Wei to condense a battle spirit.

“The herb in here is indeed valuable but currently, none of them are of use for me.” Elder Jing speaks softly since they have explored this entire herb garden.

The herbs are unique and rare but they aren’t the core ingredient for the pill that she needs to clear out the poison in her body.

Yang Wei nods his head in agreement since he’s not an alchemist yet. He only managed to learn some of the processes but never concoct one before.f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

“Tch, ignorant fools, the herb in here is just an appetizer. The real herb garden is many times larger and the herbs there are from the desolate era.” Old Ling said proudly in the herb that he always tends to.

“There’s another herb garden here?” Yang Wei enquired this time when Old Ling brags about herbs belonging in the desolate era.

Old Ling didn’t bother explaining anymore as he flicked his hand and they disappeared and appeared in a new place.

Yang Wei’s eyes almost popped out when he saw a new humongous herb garden full of aroma and Elder Jing was excited.

“Oh my, that herb has been extinct and no longer found in the outside world. To think they are everywhere in this garden is unbelievable.” Elder Jing screams as she starts touching the herb to see if it’s real.

“Little Jing, you can touch and see the herbs all you want but remember, do not pick them up. You’ll have to inform me when you made a decision.” Old Ling said to Elder Jing about the rules.

Elder Jing nodded in reply as she continued to scout for many herbs that are supposed to be extinct before looking for the core ingredients that she needed.

Old Ling has only promised that he would help concoct the pill for them but he never promised to offer the herbs.

Therefore, they must provide the herbs for him to concoct if they wished for his assistance.

Yang Wei tried to follow behind Elder Jing before Old Ling stopped him and stared at him seriously.

“You won’t have the time to idle around. You have 2 weeks to try and condense a battle spirit to fight me in the second test. If you can’t condense one by then, it’s an automatic loss for you.” Old Ling said to Yang Wei before pointing his finger in his brain.

*Whoosh*

A flood of information regarding the ways to condense the battle spirit came to Yang Wei’s mind.

Yang Wei was surprised as to why he’s helping him this much even though he gave him the manual already.

“Your soul is not from this world, just like my master. Thus, I’m willing to give you some benefits and nothing else. The rest is your effort and if you fail, I won’t be merciful.” Old Ling said before vanishing from this herb garden.

‘He knows my soul is not from this world huh.’ Yang Wei mumbled softly when Old Ling can truly see every secret they have.

However, he didn’t complain as he said it to him when Elder Jing was not here which he was thankful for.

Something like transmigration may be unrealistic and unbelievable if he were to tell it to Elder Jing.

Yang Wei might tell the truth someday to Elder Jing when they got closer but for now, he didn’t want to overthink himself.

With the new information he received from Old Ling, Yang Wei regained some confidence to be able to condense a battle spirit in these 2 weeks.

Opening the manual, Yang Wei starts studying how to form and condense a battle spirit with his soul which can become his ally in the future.

A battle spirit will never betray or backstab its owner because they are born from their spirits.

If the owner’s soul dissipated, the battle spirit would disappear as well. Thus making it the best weapon a cultivator can have and make them valuable.

Fighting a cultivator with a battle spirit when your cultivation is the same, the chance of winning them is less than 0.00001%.

Yang Wei continues to try and form a battle spirit whereas Elder Jing continued to explore and searched for her core ingredients.

Old Ling simply watches them from afar while wondering something. ‘Is this person the one you have been waiting for, master?’
