Chapter 154: Chance Encounter

“Hoho!”

After returning to his personal room with three Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus, Wei Suo felt like he was in a fantasy.

Never could he expect that that absolute beauty whom he marvelled pleasurably in a close range for a long time, was actually the Ji Ya who countless young masters wish to get on intimate terms with but fail. If he spreads this, probably none would believe him.

Every portion of Ji Ya’s exquisite jade body had been engraved in Wei Suo’s mind with great clarity. Whenever he thought of it, his blood would boil passionately.

After a brief while, Wei Suo quickly calmed down. Besides, him who toiled to survive ever since he was thirteen in Spirit Peak City, understood that one’s personal abilities and cultivation level was everything in the world of cultivation. The most vital issue now was to raise his strength and cultivation level.

He couldn’t tell for sure when his acts of killing off two elite disciples of major sects, and the plundering of the Earthflame Immortal Lotus from sect experts would leak out.

If he could attain a cultivation of Thought Division Stage level 3 or higher, then he wouldn’t have to be so restrained in his conduct.

Furthermore, through the conversation between Ji Ya and that black robed cultivator, it seemed the Precious Treasure Pavilion was facing threats from a certain force. There was surely an underlying connection. Moreover, Wei Suo could understand why Ji Ya gifted him three petals of the Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus and wanted to meet with him.

With the relations between him and Han Weiwei now, Wei Suo indeed wouldn’t watch on with folded arms if something happened to Han Weiwei.

After calming his thoughts, Wei Suo opened the white jade bottle Han Weiwei had passed to him.

Within the white jade bottle, silently contained three white pellet medicines that emanated ice spirit energy.

Even though that rash Han Weiwei didn’t offer details to Wei Suo, he could fathom through the quantity of this pellet medicines, each was to be refined along with a Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus petal.

After pouring out a single Ice Spirit pellet and swallowing it, Wei Suo directly consumed a Mythical Underworld Immortal lotus petal.

Then, he immediately sat down and assimilated into unmoving training.

Once again, Wei Suo’s Heaven Grade residence submerged into a deathly stillness.

In the following days, Wei Suo didn’t take even half a step out of his Heaven Grade residence. Except in intervals of 10 plus days, a cyan jade basin would leisurely drift out of his residence during the night. Then, it would surge with rapid pace while levitating an inch plus from the ground before floating out to the garden.

Within the jade basin were the spiritual stones remuneration for Zhu Xiaochun and Zhen Chongming, as well as the instruction memo for them.

As they observed it, this jade basin filled with spiritual stones was practically just an ordinary jade basin and not an artifact. Even if it was an artifact, there was still over three hundred metres from Wei Suo’s private room to the spirit field. Even a Thought Division Stage expert wouldn’t be able to control a jade basin through the buildings and door, without a single sound or aura; maneuvering it through such a lengthy distance.

Puzzled by this phenomenon, the two brats could feel that following their big brother was the right choice; becoming hell-bent towards serving him.

Wei Suo’s secluded meditation this time was rather long to the both of them. Without knowing, forty days had elapsed. As for Wei Suo still in the midst of his training, he was presently filled with delight.

Because the speed of his cultivating training, was all in accordance to his estimation.

When he started refining the Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus, Wei Suo immediately realized his half Ice Spirit Root and Ji Ya’s Ice Spirit pellet had multiplied his refining speed greatly.

Even though the Fire Spirit Root greatly weakened the medicinal energy of the Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus, Wei Suo managed to cultivate a true Ice Spirit Root after three days and two Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus petals. As he channeled his true energy out, two contrasting Fire Spirit Root and Ice Spirit Root emerged. He was now a rare Dual Spirit Root cultivator of the Heavenly Profound Continent!

Following that, the advancement process of him breaking through to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 had truly brought Wei Suo immeasurable joy.

The dual Spirit Root innate disposition was truly unrivalled. For an ordinary cultivator who trained in a low-level Earth rank cultivation technique, even a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 cultivator could only refine roughly 10 Golden Spirit pellets in a day. Instead, his results had surpassed his own estimations. Wei Suo could only refine 13 Golden Spirit pellets in a day. This meant that his cultivation speed was already 30 percent higher than an ordinarily gifted cultivator.

Yet to his pleasant surprise, he merely require an entire month of 30 days, to finish refining 390 Golden Spirit pellets where he actually developed a ninth Divine Sea; successfully breaking through to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3. He now had a surplus of 150 Golden Spirit pellets he prepared beforehand.

After he carefully contemplated, Wei Suo realized this unexpected scenario wasn’t because his estimation of the spirit energies needed to breakthrough to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 was lesser. Instead, it was because refining the Earthflame Immortal Lotus and the Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus had supplied him an astonishing amount of spirit energies as well. Furthermore, consuming the Twin-headed Canine previously had altered his physique while he had also undergone the purifying process of the Amethyst Fox rose.

He managed to save 10 days from his initial estimation of cultivating a dual Spirit Root and reach Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3. Thus, in the remaining 6-7 days, Wei Suo proceeded to concoct two batches of Nurturing Demon Liquid. Apart from nurturing his Mind Devouring Bug, he didn’t rest at night as he concocted Heaven Mending pellets.

Right now, Wei Suo was tremendously familiar with the method of concocting Heaven Mending pellets. Not only could he do it alone, his rate of success was now nearing 70 percent. Within these 7 days, Wei Suo managed to accumulate close to a hundred Heaven Mending pellets.

Back when he finished concocting a single Heaven Mending pellet, Wei Suo realized his speed of refining it was much faster with his current disposition of being a dual Spirit Root cultivator. Still, there wasn’t any difference pertaining to the medicinal energies of the Heaven Mending pellets. There wasn’t a single relation to him refining so many spirit medicines and even after establishing his new Divine Sea.

Hence, he definitely required minimally 500 Heaven Mending pellets for his Purple Mystic True Technique to upgrade to a Mid-level Earth rank technique.

For him to amass 500 Heaven Mending pellets, Wei Suo would require close to another 30 days.

Bathing in the Nurturing Demon Liquid, that Mind Devouring Bug who cost loads of spiritual stones daily, had once again displayed a substantial trace of maturing. Moreover in the next 30 days, the might of the Mind Devouring Bug would definitely improve once again. In truth, it was the Mind Devouring Bug that Wei Suo had dispatched to deliver the jade basin.

Compared to a Heavenly Circuit Stage 4 cultivator who trained in a Profound rank cultivation technique, the true energy of his Mid-level Earth rank, Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 cultivation was much stronger. In addition to the artifacts he had on hand, if Wei Suo once again encountered cultivators at Old Freak Feng’s level and staked everything in, he wouldn’t display such an inability to resist like back in Sky Valley.

Initially, Wei Suo had made a resolution to upgrade his Purple Mystic True Technique to Mid-level Earth rank in one go. Only then would he conclude his closed door meditation.

But at this moment, something happened which forced Wei Suo to interrupt his secluded meditation and leave his room.

He could sense an intense spirit energy fluctuation within his own spirit garden. As for this spirit energy fluctuation, it belonged to a cultivator breaking through from Divine Sea Stage level 5 to the Heavenly Circuit Stage. The arousal of true energy linking up when six Divine Seas formed into a Heavenly Circuit.

Wei Suo was extremely speechless by this observation. As it turns out, with the constant supply of spiritual stones these few days, Zhu Xiaochun actually managed to cross the Divine Sea Stage level 5 hurdle, and break through to become a Heavenly Circuit stage level 1 cultivator. Furthermore, after sweeping through with his Aura Determining Technique, Wei Suo realized Zhen Chongming was already at the peak phase of Divine Sea Stage level 5. Within days, he would definitely be able to break through to the Heavenly Circuit Stage.

Seeing the endless happiness and moronic laugher of Zhu Xiaochun, and his unceasing action of slapping his buttocks, Wei Suo couldn’t help but recall something. Could this be akin to the saying of the cultivation world – the foolish cultivator encounters many blessings, while myriads of schemes ends up in nothing?

Because his drive had been interrupted, Wei Suo gently sighed and decided to take a breather outside. At the same time, to check if Han Weiwei’s cultivation had improved.

However, after Wei Suo consecutively triggered the Golden Transmission Thread three times, Han Weiwei didn’t surface at all. Following that, he attempted to channel his true energy into a Transmission Jade talisman. Yet after standing silently by the mountain for a long while, Nangong Yuqing’s figure still failed to emerge as usual.

……

Wei Suo then dejectedly returned to his residence. Butwhat he wasn’t aware of, was that Han Weiwei wasn’t in Spirit Peak City.

The city she was in now, was established atop 7 mountains. Densely packed buildings were erected from the middle of the mountain all the way to the peak, while many stunning white arched bridge connected these buildings. The loftiness of the place appeared exceedingly vast. The size of this city was seemingly doubled that of Spirit Peak City.

The mountain of the extreme east was the shortest one, but also the one with the broadest peak. A green glow lingered within its valley looking neither real nor false.

The middle mountain had the highest peak where white clouds hovered around it. One could sometimes observe winged spirit beasts like the Immortal Crane and the Cyan Crow. Moreover, one could notice the existence of majestic silver palaces here.

Only a single expansive arched bridge connected this mountain peak to the other six mountain peaks. Normally, nobody would be travelling through it. Evidently, freedom of passage was prohibited for this bridge. Not only was the bridge laced with silvery lights, it was filled with forbidden controls and guarded by cultivators.

Two imposing letters were engraved on the memorial arch of this mountain – ‘Star Convening’!

This was entrance of the Star Convening Sect!

As it turns out, Han Weiwei had arrived within Seven Stars City that wasn’t considered near Spirit Peak City.

Right now, she was located within the city region of the southern most mountain of Seven Stars City. Moreover, she wasn’t wearing her usual silver artifact robe, but an ordinary goose-yellow palace gown. Her face was also misted with a layer of light muslin. Han Weiwei was presently strolling idly along the market street of this region. Suddenly, her gaze indistinctly congregated onto a skinny looking cultivator, who was wearing grey robes and a conical bamboo hat.

It was as though she had discretely tailed this cultivator from Spirit Peak City all the way to Seven Stars City.

All of a sudden, a male and female cultivator strolled past her. Instantly, her gaze became fully engrossed in them, and her eyes brimmed with shock.

That tall and gorgeous female cultivator, was shockingly Nangong Yuqing. While the male cultivator was actually someone she recognized as well. It was young master Li Honglin of the Golden Eagle Palace.

After turning away, an exceedingly vexed countenance emerged on Han Weiwei’s face. All her hard work…….that skinny cultivator she was tailing covertly, had suddenly vanished.
