Chapter 201: Loose Cultivator’s Cavern Abode
“I’ve already handed the Scarletwing Flame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet to you, yet I haven’t seen even a shadow of my 200,000 low grade spiritual stones.” Wei Suo mercilessly chided.
“Moreover, I reckon you haven’t left the Aqua Charm Pavilion for so long, you are clueless as to whether your clan’s treasury contains 200,000 low grade spiritual stones. What if there isn’t 200,000 spiritual stones in the treasury, what will you say then? Anyway, looking at you now, the treasury probably isn’t near here.”
“Our Jin Clan’s treasury is that centralized black two storey pavilion, there is definitely an abundance of spiritual stones inside.” Jin Qiao’er was clearly overwhelming infatuated with that white jade talisman. Fearing that Wei Suo would act abruptly, she didn’t dare to proceed to s.n.a.t.c.h for it but glared at Wei Suo. “Furthermore, now that we’ve attracted the members of Jin Villa here, we can utilize the secret pa.s.sageway to easily infiltrate the treasury and acquire your spiritual stones. Now that the old dog is dead, you just have to a.s.sist me in slaying some of his dog lackeys and the whole Jin Clan will be under my control. When that happens, you can have as much spiritual stones as you like. Even if we can’t provide the amount you want today, I will surely compensate you double in the future.”
“I can see your true intentions, to use me as your blade and eliminate your foes.” Wei Suo sneered and continued. “But I detest being used by others. You’ve already fooled me once, bringing me to a place devoid of spiritual stones and nearly causing me to lose my life. Like I said, on account that you’re a female, I shall trust you once more; but, this jade talisman will stay with me for now, lest you resort to any tricks. Otherwise, you have another alternative – hand me something else of equal worth. For example, that tiny black dagger with pretty impressive might. If you can use it as collateral, I will allow you to retrieve that jade talisman.”
Jin Qiao’er’s expression fluctuated non-stop. Finally, she lowered her pride and explained in a soft tone.
“This Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger is an inheritance from my parents. Moreover, without anything to protect myself with, I’ll be wary of you as well; lest you attempt to stab my back. Without this, I am utterly powerless. As for that jade talisman, it records a few matters. If it lands in your hands and you scan it casually with your divine sense, then all my efforts in entering this ancestral hall would become pointless.”
Following that, Wei Suo refrained from declaring his position but didn’t appear relenting as well.
Seeing Wei Suo’s state, Jin Qiao’er helplessly persuaded, “How about this, if the next place I bring you to isn’t the treasury of spiritual stones, you can do whatever you want with me.”
“Apart from acquiring spiritual stones from you, what else can I do?” Wei Suo was presently nearly losing his temper with Jin Qiao’er, as he said, “Unless you reveal the mystery behind this jade talisman, and spare me from being confusedly used by you.”
“Fine!” Probably filled with confidence in her Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger, Jin Qiao’er gitted her teeth and answered, “This jade talisman records the cavern abode of a cultivator that our Jin Clan’s ancestor fortuitously encountered. However, one can only enter this cavern abode once in every fifty years. The talisman also records the specific timing and method to lift all forbidden restrictions. Regarding all these information, it is pad through the countless efforts and blood of many generations of Jin Clan ancestors.”
“A loose cultivator’s cavern abode?” Wei Suo glanced at Jin Qiao’er with disbelief. “Just a loose cultivator’s cavern abode is worthy of being held in such significance in your ancestral hall? Worthy of your staking your life to barge in here? With your cultivation, even if you gain access of this jade talisman, I’m afraid you won’t be a match for Jin Shenxuan’s descendants eh?”
Jin Qiao’er forcefully suppressed her anxiety and explained, “Honestly speaking, that loose cultivator is minimally a grand Golden Dan stage cultivator. This cavern abode definitely houses incredibly powerful artifacts and treasures. Perhaps, there will be invincible skill techniques as well. Although the old dog possessed a single Entrance Spirit Talisman, he doesn’t know the skill technique of activating the Spirit Talisman as well. He schemed to defeat us all for my Entrance Spirit Talisman. After acquiring this jade talisman, if I can obtain one or two items from the cavern abode, I will surely return to settle my debts with them. If any of my word is false, then may I fail in refining the Scarletwing Flame devil’s demonic dan-pellet and my longevity drain away swiftly.”
“Minimally a grand Golden Dan Cultivator’s cavern abode?”
Wei Suo’s eyes flickered slightly before nodding at Jin Qiao’er as he said, “Alright, since you dare to make a death oath, I will believe you. You can go retrieve that jade talisman.”
Any cultivator would be exceedingly enticed by the prospect of a Golden Dan Stage cultivator’s cavern abode. Though these bunch from the Jin Clan appeared formidable, they were merely tyrants at home while meek in public. With just a few sentences, Wei Suo managed to uncover such a secret from her mouth.
Undoubtedly, the cultivators of Jin Clan had entered that cavern abode before and knew it housed plenty of wondrous items. Nevertheless, they were limited by their own capabilities and couldn’t harvest them all.
Except, the limited entry of once per fifty years prompted Wei Suo to recall Sky Valley. Moreover, the members of the Jin Clan failed to retrieve much goods even after the myriad years; evidently, the cavern abode was tremendously risky and may even be more treacherous than Sky Valley.
Regarding such a place, Wei Suo, who had experienced Sky Valley, truly felt unwilling to visit.
As for why he resorted to beating around the bush with Jin Qiao’er, it was because he acknowledged that Jin Qiao’er was an exceptionally ruthless individual. In addition to her queer Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger, if that jade talisman was some sort of powerful artifact, he would be wishing to cry but without tears if she decided to turn hostile towards him.
Hence, Wei Suo truly didn’t possess any ambition to embezzle that jade talisman.
“Really?” Jin Qiao’er’s eyes flushed with delight. Still, she didn’t dare to commence but feared Wei Suo mounting a sneaky and opportunistic move.
“Do I not look like a man of my words?” Wei Suo glanced at Jin Qiao’er and scoffed. “If I was truly the untrustworthy type, you wouldn’t even have the chance to obtain the Scarletwing Flame Devil’s demonic dan-pellet, and be standing here right now.”
Jin Qiao’er then clenched her teeth and rushed in, before stretching forth and grabbing that white jade talisman that was floating within the light-green light screen.
She then paused briefly after seizing the jade talisman, clearly using her divine sense to check the contents of the white jade talisman.
Without much deliberations, Wei Suo could tell this woman was probably playing it safe; directly browsing through the contents before destroying the white jade talisman evidence.
Yet after that brief while, Jin Qiao’er’s expression turned rather unpleasant. She stored the white jade talisman. It seemed like its contents were rather complicated, where she couldn’t understand or commit them to memory just yet.
“Let’s go, I’ll bring you to our Jin Clan’s treasury.”
Seeing that Wei Suo was merely awaiting her silently, her expression turned somewhat better.
After strolling out of the ancestral hall, she suddenly recalled something and asked Wei Suo, “If there’s more than 200,000 spiritual stones in our treasury, how much spiritual stones can I offer you to deal with Jin Quanji and company?”
“I do not wish to partic.i.p.ate in the Jin Clan’s internal squabbles.” Wei Suo replied. “But if you want me to a.s.sist you in peacefully leaving Jin Villa and Perching Phoenix City, I can still accept it.”
“Good!” Jin Qiao’er nodded fiercely. “Let’s go, we’ve dragged for too long. I’m afraid those little dogs can no longer endure barging in.”
Of course Wei Suo nodded without objection. He too didn’t wish to remain an additional second in this restricted grounds, promising himself that if he had the time in the future, he would spend more effort in researching formation arrays of the present cultivation world.
After all, the green gowned Old Man’s knowledge completely resided in ancient formation arrays, and was rather obsolete with regards to present time formation arrays.
Just a single Jin Clan’s formation array already carried such weighty devastation. If he ever encountered sects or cultivators with a deadlier formation array, wouldn’t it be equivalent to freely walking into snares and being rapidly slaughtered without a chance of resisting?
They quietly crept down to the sixth floor. From outside the window, they could tell the crowd of Jin Clan cultivators were compounding up. Various artifacts and torches illuminated the entire nine storey building brightly like a white palace. Nonetheless, not a single cultivator entered this nine storey ancestral building.
However, just when Jin Qiao’er and Wei Suo effortlessly descended to the fifth floor, a thump resounded. An individual charged out without warning from one of the fifth floor’s rooms.
Wei Suo and Jin Qiao’er instantly braced themselves as their expressions sank. It was possible the rooms were infused with a formation array that obstructed one’s divine sense. Hence, both them and the old man failed to discover someone in that room.
As for the individual that charged out, her face instantly turned deathly pale upon glimpsing Wei Suo and Jin Qiao’er!
This was a ravishing beauty with a sweet figure. It was indeed the lovable yet tired beauty Wei Suo saw earlier.
At present, she had evidently recovered most of her energy, and was probably cultivating in that quiet room. She didn’t even sense the intense battle earlier and just coincidentally left her room.
“Jin Xin’er, I was wondering who it was, so it’s actually a little s.l.u.t!”
Noticing this pure woman, the fear in Jin Qiao’er’s eyes completely vanished. In its place, was a rich desire to commit murder.
“So this female is called Jin Xin’er” Such a notion welled up in Wei Suo’s mind, as he took note of Jin Xin’er looking rather afraid of Jin Qiao’er and not making any reckless moves.
“Jin Qiao’er, how did you get here?”
“From outside and of course, for the sake of killing the old dog, Jin Shenxuan.” Jin Qiao’er smirked as she brandished her tiny black dagger. “Little s.l.u.t, say do you want to commit suicide, or should I help you with it? I can leave you with an intact corpse if you choose suicide, but all cordiality will be shed if you dare to make a move. Seeing that you adore looking beautiful all the time, relishing in your reserved demeanor and good looks. Perhaps, I shall strip you clean after killing you, and toss you down from above so everyone below can have a magnificent view of your nakedness.”
“Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger!” Jin Xin’er’s delicate figure shivered uncontrollably as she listened to Jin Qiao’er’s speech while noticing the shimmering black dagger.
