111: Spider Spirit White Dream
The Spider Demon was about to scold Wei Xun for being untrustworthy, but the words caught in her throat.
"Please, please let me go! I only held the two of you for a few days!" The Spider Demon pleaded with difficulty, "Cultivation is not easy. Please spare my life!"
"That's easy for you to say!" Wei Xun snorted coldly, "If I hadn't made a Breakthrough to the Pure Yang Realm, wouldn't I have been trapped to death here?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The Spider Demon immediately apologized after hearing this.
"Besides, I wouldn't dare to let you go!" Wei Xun shook his head, "You are at the Pure Yang Realm Second Layer of Cultivation. If I let you go and you turn on me, I might not even be able to defeat you!"
"No, I won't!" The Spider Demon shook her head desperately, "As long as you let me go, I absolutely won't lift a finger!"
"Why should I risk letting you go?" Wei Xun increased the pressure in his hand, squeezing the Spider Demon until she was almost rolling her eyes.
"I still have a Magic Treasure..." Just as the Spider Demon felt like she was about to faint, she mumbled these few words from her throat.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Wei Xun slightly loosened his grip.
He had just considered killing the Spider Demon.
"I have a treasure map!" The Spider Demon said this with difficulty, then flipped her palm and produced a scroll of animal hide.
Wei Xun immediately took the animal hide scroll and saw a map depicted on it.
However, from the depiction on the map, he couldn't tell what place it was.
And most importantly, the characters on the map were unknown; Wei Xun couldn't understand them at all.
"Are you just casually pulling out something to fool me?" Wei Xun stared at the Spider Demon with cold eyes.
"Absolutely not!" The Spider Demon said with difficulty, "I obtained this a few years ago from a group of humans. They came to the Black Abyss Mountain Range specifically to find this place..."
"What's inside that place?" Wei Xun asked.
"I don't know either!" The Spider Demon shook her head.
"Do you recognize the characters on it?" Wei Xun asked again.
"No, I don't!"
The Spider Demon still shook her head.
"You don't know or recognize anything, what's the use of giving me this thing?" Wei Xun snorted coldly.
"I've given you everything I can, please don't kill me!" The Spider Demon was teary-eyed now, "As long as you let me go, I'm willing to obey your every command. I swear to heaven, if I lie, may I be struck by lightning..."
Seeing the Spider Demon's sincerity, Wei Xun's killing intent subsided a bit.
It seemed the Spider Demon genuinely wanted to survive.
If she was truly willing to obey him, then she might be useful.
Especially since her Blissful Dream Cultivation Technique was very peculiar; it allowed one to Cultivate in dreams, and at a faster rate than in reality.
If he could subdue this Spider Demon for his own use, then in the future, he could use the Blissful Dream to assist his Cultivation.
Moreover, now that he was also in the Pure Yang Realm, even if this Spider Demon were to turn hostile after being released, Wei Xun was confident he could take her down again.
"Alright!" Wei Xun nodded after some thought, "I can spare your life and let you go."
"However, if you have any other ideas after I release you, I guarantee I will kill you without hesitation!"
"Mm!" The Spider Demon immediately nodded after hearing this.
Then Wei Xun loosened his hand, and the Spider Demon collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
At the same time, a faint electric glow gathered in Wei Xun's palm; if the Spider Demon dared to make any other move, he would strike her with lightning without hesitation.
Fortunately, the Spider Demon didn't do so, but instead immediately knelt before Wei Xun.
"Little One White Dream, from now on I will obey Big Brother's every command!"
Alright!
Another Little One acquired.
"Good!" Wei Xun nodded with satisfaction, "Since you keep your word, I won't make things difficult for you anymore!"
"Thank you, Big Brother!" The Spider Demon nodded repeatedly.
Although the Spider Demon was at the Pure Yang Realm Second Layer of Cultivation, she was completely powerless against Wei Xun just now.
Even if she fought to the death, she might not be a match for the man in front of her.
"From now on, you will continue to stay in this Forest!" Wei Xun slowly said, "I won't stop you from doing anything. If I need you for something, I will naturally come back to find you."
"I obey Big Brother's command!" The Spider Demon White Dream immediately nodded.
"Alright then!" Wei Xun nodded slightly, acknowledging the Spider Demon's declared stance.
Then Wei Xun left the Spider Demon White Dream to continue staying there, while he himself took Si Niang and the rescued bird-man Jiji north towards Lingtao Mountain.
And during these days of being trapped in the Forest, Wei Xun discovered that Si Niang had reached the opportune moment to Breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer.
So, after a day of travel, that evening, when Wei Xun sat cross-legged as usual, preparing to Cultivate.
He cut off a small piece of immortal ginseng, about the size of a grain of rice, and gave it to Si Niang.
After Si Niang ate this tiny bit of immortal ginseng, she successfully made a Breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer, and her Cultivation visibly increased.
"Si Niang, what did you dream about in the Blissful Dream?" After a round of Cultivation, Wei Xun, who was about to go to sleep, asked Si Niang beside him.
"In the dream?" Hearing this question, Si Niang suddenly looked shy, her cheeks slightly flushed, "I didn't dream of anything!"
Seeing Si Niang like this, Wei Xun didn't press further.
Presumably, it was similar to what he had dreamed.
Then Wei Xun flipped his palm and took out the Purple Gold Glazed Pagoda he had obtained at the auction.
He had been studying this thing in his spare time, after all, he had spent so much money to buy it.
It would be too much of a loss if it was just a decoration.
However, Wei Xun could see the dazzling Spiritual Qi light points on the pagoda through his Spirit Seeking Eyes.
He knew this item was definitely not ordinary, which was why he had never given up trying.
But no matter whether he infused it with Spiritual Qi, dripped blood on it, even tried burning it, pouring water on it, or even striking it with palm lightning, it had no effect.
He had tried every possible method, and Wei Xun was truly at a loss.
But just before he was about to go to sleep, Wei Xun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned to Si Niang, saying, "Si Niang, help me keep an eye on our surroundings. I'm going to sleep for a bit!"
"Okay, Big Brother!" Si Niang nodded, then leaped up onto a tree above their heads and began observing the surroundings.
Then Wei Xun used the Dream Soul Travel Technique to make his Soul Emergence, wanting to try if he could enter the pagoda.
Unexpectedly, with this attempt, he actually went in.
A dazzling golden light flashed, and Wei Xun closed his eyes.
When he reopened his eyes, Wei Xun suddenly found himself inside the pagoda.
The interior of the pagoda was a circular room, and on the wall directly opposite, the character 'one' (one) was written.
It seemed this was the first floor of the pagoda.
