Chapter 180: I'm Sorry But I Refuse

A regiment of cyan aura flittered through Lil'Night Mountain. Indeed, it was Wei Suo, Ji Ya and Han Weiwei who were enshrouded in Nature Wood spirit aura.

"No wonder you purchased those two maps back at Seven Stars City. Hmph, so you already planned to establish a cavern abode out here long ago. But is your cavern abode secured enough, what are the protective mechanisms?"

Upon landing, Han Weiwei inquired of Wei Suo.

"Defence formation array eh? For the time being, I can only rely on those two stalks." Wei Suo chuckled silently and nodded towards the two Immortal Exterminating Vine saplings. When he sighted the Flare Beacon in the wee hours of morning, Wei Suo had hastily left and didn't have the chance to examine. Right now, it seemed like the two saplings were growing pretty well, growing to a height of roughly 0.3 metres.

"Are you talking about those two grape vines? Wei Suo, are you kidding me?" Han Weiwei's vision nearly turned dark. "Wei Suo, aren't you too naive to think that leaving a pile of level 2 demonic beasts would deter other demonic beasts alright."

"Immortal Exterminating Vine?" Instead, Ji Ya glanced over and immediately gasped. "Brother Wei, could it be you know how to rear Immortal Exterminating Vines?"

"Immortal Exterminating Vine?" Han Weiwei was stunned as she noticed Wei Suo nodding his head.

When Ji Ya observe Wei Suo nodding, an unnoticeable look of astonishment flickered through her beautiful eyes.

"Wei Suo, what are those? Also, senior sister, stop addressing him as Brother Wei this and Brother Wei that. Just call him Wei Suo, It's disgusting."

"Yeah, I'm not used to it too, you can just address me as Wei Suo." Wei Suo bashfully smiled, and glared at Han Weiwei before explaining, "An Immortal Exterminating Vine is a plant that reflexively attacks cultivators and demonic beasts. Its might is equivalent to a level 6 demonic beast."

"Just a tiny plant can have a might comparable to level 6 demonic beasts?" Han Weiwei's mouth was wide opened in shock.

"Obviously a tiny sapling doesn't have such strength." Wei Suo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "An Immortal Exterminating Vine will never stop growing. In the future, it'll even cover the entire mountain valley. Even a group of Thought Division Stage level 5 cultivators cannot infiltrate my cavern abode without an artifact like my Cyan Emperor Gourd."

"What you're implying is, it won't be a problem once we wrap ourselves with Nature Wood spirit aura?" Han Weiwei pursed her lips and continued, "What if any invader possesses an artifact that can release Nature Wood spirit aura?"

Wei Suo awkwardly answered, "Then these Immortal Exterminating Vines would be useless."

"Isn't that a joke?" Han Weiwei gazed at Wei Suo and continued, "If a formidable cultivator truly wishes to deal with you, I reckon finding such an artifact will definitely be possible. Even if you cover the entire mountain with such Immortal Exterminating Vines, it will be futile."

"This….."

"Actually, there is a way around this." Just when Wei Suo felt that Han Weiwei was truly speaking the truth, Ji Ya interrupted. "As long as a controlling formation array that can absorb or repel Nature Wood spirit aura is installed beneath the Immortal Exterminating Vines, it would be fine. Just seal or activate the formation array if you wish to enter or exit your cavern abode. Even if an opponent manages to acquire an artifact like the Cyan Emperor Gourd, once all its Nature Wood spirit aura is absorbed cleanly, it would be impossible to pass through this field of Immortal Exterminating Vines."

Wei Suo's eyes instantly sparkled. "Ji Ya, do you know where to find such a formation array?"

"Our city is situated at the southernmost extremity of the Heavenly Profound Continent, there aren't much cultivators that specializes in formation arrays. Moreover, it may not be possible to procure such a formation array so quickly either."

Ji Ya pondered slightly before replying, "To purchase such a formation array, I'm afraid you'll have to head over to Clear Sky City in the west. The Ma clan of Clear Sky City is extremely knowledgeable in such fundamental formation arrays. They should be able to come up with such a formation array."

"Ma clan of Clear Sky City eh?" Wei Suo nodded. His eyes flickered slightly, and no one could discern his thoughts.

"Your cavern abode is inside this mountain crack? Ji Ya lifted her head. Currently, she was becoming increasingly expectant of Wei Suo's cavern abode.

"It's just right here." Wei Suo nodded and cut to the chase. He summoned out his Whitejade Crane, and brought Ji Ya and Han Weiwei into his cavern abode.

"This is an Earth Furnace room? Wei Suo, you actually managed to establish an Earth Furnace room?"

After passing through two extremely ordinary restricted zones, Ji Ya's brows instantly hopped as she muttered such a statement.

"Indeed, I've managed to construct an Earth Furnace room here." Wei Suo nodded and directly led the way, bringing Ji Ya and Han Weiwei into his Earth Furnace room.

"What an immense fortune!"

Tailing Wei Suo into his Earth Furnace room, Ji Ya immediately developed this notion after viewing the four walls of Cold Jade, and the 72 gold toad patterned Earth Furnace.

Without 70,000 - 80,000 low grade spiritual stones, it would absolutely be impossible to construct such an Earth Furnace room.

"What does this drain do?" Noticing the trench circling the Earth Furnace, Ji Ya couldn't resist the urge to ask.

"This leads to a mountain spring. I leveraged the heat emitted by the Earth Furnace, to create a hot spring."

"Hot spring?" Frankly speaking, after being enlightened on the Immortal Exterminating Vine and subsequently viewing this Earth Furnace, Wei Suo's cavern abode had already surpassed Han Weiwei's expectations. Now that she heard Wei Suo actually constructed a hot spring as well, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief."

Wei Suo then straightforwardly brought Han Weiwei and Ji Ya into the hot springs room. When he noticed Han Weiwei's disbelieving countenance, the conceited Wei Suo couldn't resist the urge to brag, "If you don't find it too shabby, you can take a soak here tonight."

"No way I'm going to have a bath here." Han Weiwei shook her head without hesitation and disdainfully chided. "What if you shamelessly sneak here to peep?!"

"Let's take a look at the other rooms, but there really isn't much to see. You can select a room to rest first." Hearing Han Weiwei's words, Wei Suo immediately broke out in cold sweat. He was afraid Han Weiwei would expose the fact that he owned a concealment artifact.

Once that term leaves Han Weiwei's mouth, if Ji Ya questions Han Weiwei and discovers that he visited Sky Valley, the truth would all be exposed.

Fortunately, Han Weiwei said nothing. Following that, she became well-behaved and toured the remaining rooms with Wei Suo.

"Senior sister and I will spend the night in this room." Finally, she rampantly chose the room where Wei Suo placed his large bed quilted with Silver-thread Grass.

"Weiwei, wait here for little while, I have some words to speak with Wei Suo alone." However, never did she nor Wei Suo expect, Ji Ya would abruptly make such a request.

"Senior sister, what affairs do you have that you've to speak with Wei Suo in my absence?" Han Weiwei was a little stumped, before unhappily pursing her lips.

"Is it convenient to share some words with you?" Instead, Ji Ya ignored the unhappy Han Weiwei and asked Wei Suo.

"Of course, naturally." Wei Suo guiltily answered.

Ji Ya nodded. As though she was the landowner of the place, she led the way and arrived at Wei Suo's Earth Furnace. After Wei Suo entered, Ji Ya waved her hand and activated a skill talisman; encompassing the entire room with a Soundproofing Light Barrier.

"These pellet medicines, are very likely means of threat that East Victory's young master, Dong Qingyi, is employing against me." After activating the Soundproofing Light Barrier, Ji Ya acted forthrightly with Wei Suo. "Prior to this, he dispatched a trusted protector of his, to request for my hand in marriage. As for those True Recovery Pellets, it started circulating in the markets of Spirit Peak City the second day after I rejected him. I'm extremely clear on Dong Qingyi's personality. He is a vile schemer that would employ any despicable means to achieve his goals, and wouldn't stop until he achieves them."

Wei Suo was slightly baffled. "Lady Ji Ya, what're your intentions of telling me these."

"If there comes a time where I have no other alternatives…." Ji Ya took a deep breath and resolutely pleaded. "I implore you to bring her and depart this place for a period of time, the longer the better."

"Are you thinking of directly acceding to that brat once you run out of other alternatives. Fearing that if she knew, she would rather give up her life than let you do such a thing? So you're asking me to bring her away, and when she returns, the boat would've already sunk. When that happens, it'll be useless even if she blows up a fuss, right?" Wei Suo's eyes flickered and took in a deep breath. Then, he slowly exhaled and proclaimed, "I can never agree to that."

Ji Ya stared at Wei Suo in astoundment. She didn't expect that he could actually guess what she was thinking in her heart. However, she immediately adopted her trademark icy tone and demanded, "Since you're her trusted friend, why can't you do that? You should be very clear, East Victory is not an organization that we, Precious Treasure Pavilion, can contend against. Putting it bluntly, what good outcome can we even expect for us both?"

"So you'd rather sacrifice yourself and bear with that obnoxious and despicable character?" Wei Suo stared into her eyes. "I know you wish for her to live a happy life without worries for lack of spiritual stones. Perhaps, you may feel I'm not an ordinary cultivator, and that I'll take care of her if she follows me, but have you thought about how she feels? Don't you understand why such a vivacious girl like her would endure and strive to cultivate? Do you know why she risks her life just to earn spiritual stones?"

Ji Ya was turned speechlessly dazed. Instead, Wei Suo continued, "All she wishes, is that you live a happy life. The reason she strives so hard to earn spiritual stones and cultivate, isn't because she aspires to become a legendary unbeatable cultivator. Instead, she doesn't want to see you continue this painstaking life of concocting pellets. What you've been doing for her, she understands more than anyone else. If you don't believe, and even if I can find an excuse to bring her away for a period, when she returns and realizes you've married Dong Qingyi….you may think it's too late to change anything, but she'll definitely risk it all to murder Dong Qingyi. This is because she is exceedingly clear on how much you detest that brat. She'd rather die than see another day of you suffering a fate worse than death."

"She….." Ji Ya was utterly lost. An unprecedented and warm mist unknowingly welled up in her eyes.

"Therefore, if truly that day comes and you have no other alternatives, your best choice would be to forsake the Precious Treasure Pavilion, and escape with her. With both your talents, finding revenge wouldn't be impossible." Wei Suo gazed at Ji Ya and earnestly continued. "You must understand, what her father cares about, is definitely you and her, and not the Precious Treasure Pavilion. As for what she cares about, it's definitely not the Precious Treasure Pavilion but you. As for me, I promise I'll do my best to assist, but it is impossible for me to accept your request."

"All else are but vanities, only human life remains real." Wei Suo lifted his head slightly and declared such a statement, seemingly speaking to himself as well.

"I wasn't wrong, you are truly not an ordinary cultivator." After a long pause, Ji Ya cast a glance at Wei Suo that carried not a trace of austerity. She deeply looked into his eyes, as though attempting to remember his appearance, before gently asking, "You're doing so much for us, you really don't have any areas that you require my help? For example, spiritual stones?"

"At present, I have sufficient spiritual stones. When I am in urgent need of them, since you phrased it like that, I may really shamefully request from you." Wei Suo released a wry smile and continued, "As for right now, what you can do for me, is persuade Han Weiwei to return with you tomorrow and get her to go into secluded training. You know how she's like, she may insist on staying here due to the novelty of this experience. If that happens, she'll continually pester all my every move, and definitely slow down my cultivation speed. That said, my closed door cultivation this time probably wouldn't exceed 15 days. 15 days later, I'll probably need her assistance. You can get her to notify me, and I'll go receive her."

"I'll get her to leave tomorrow." Ji Ya's lips curled into a rare faint smile as she glanced at Wei Suo. "I just have to say, don't even mention about her beauty causing the downfall of cities, she'll even captivate the birds and the beasts. Do you really not fancy her? Moreover, she always responds to you call, and goes where you point to eh?"

"She already said we're brothers, what can I do?" Wei Suo chuckled. There was another reason for calling Han Weiwei to accompany him all the time, that was because he felt safer with her around.

After conversing with Ji Ya like this today, and observing her peerlessly ravishing countenance, Wei Suo felt a great impulse to fiercely beat up Dong Qingyi. However, how high must one's cultivation be, and how big must one's fist be, to even think of thrashing Dong Qingyi?
