Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 13 Three Questions
Wei Xi was born in the secluded Tianshui Village. Wars, the emperor, and the Huaixin Faction were all distant things to her.

She was stubborn and pointed at Qin Feng and then at the burning oil lamp.

Qin Feng looked at Wei Xi gesturing heartbrokenly. She had been having nightmares for two days and her mind was having trouble thinking. Seeing Wei Xi reaching for her sword, Qin Feng asked uncertainly, "Are you saying I still have talent?"

Qin Feng closed his eyes. "I don't mean anything else. It's just extremely difficult. To put it bluntly, there's no difference between you and me on the path of cultivation. We're both destined to have a difficult road ahead."

After hearing this, Wei Xi sat there in a daze.

Qin Feng put the two papers away and said in a slower tone, "It's not that I don't want to tutor you, it's just that I don't know how to tell you. I hope you don't blame me."

"I also want to thank you. After all, not everyone can draw such an ugly picture."

After talking about it that night, Wei Xi felt a little sad every time he entered the house. After all, it took two people living together in one room to be considered normal.

However, the friendship crisis was finally resolved, but Wei Xi still had a lot of troubles.

The most important issue is Wei Xi's professional problem.

The mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation are sword cultivators and magic cultivators. The former mainly use magical instruments such as swords to inflict damage, while the latter use magic formulas to exert power.

Medicine cultivation was also a major school. The rest were all miscellaneous, ranging from the more common weapon refiners, animal tamers, and herb growers to the less common fortune tellers, treasure appraisers, and even cooks like Zhao Dazui. In short, there was a wide variety.

While many of the Qingcheng Sect's disciples possessed mediocre talents, they had expanded into various disciplines: the Agricultural Department, which researched planting techniques; the Bird Department, which focused on large-scale breeding of spiritual birds; and the Holy Land Cooking Department, which catered to all foodies.

There was even a disciple who had been in the profession for ten years and specialized in breeding ornamental spirit fish. However, the fish he raised were all uglier than the other, and he almost lost all his money.

By building a diversified immortal cultivation system, the Qingcheng Sect not only became the last in the sect competition, but also successfully made its disciples poorer than each other.

But Wei Xi's talent was so poor that after nearly two months of observation and study, the deans of various departments (taking into account the average life expectancy of Qingcheng Sect disciples and the current situation of the departments, many deans were actually the only disciples in the department) all rejected her.

Elder Niuma from the Civil Engineering Department looked at Wei Xi and sighed, then complained to Master Han.

"What was that kid Zhao Dazui thinking? He recruited such a skinny kid. He has such weak bones that he can't even learn to shrink the ground even if he is buried in the ground for ten years. I'm so worried!"

Elder Niuma looked at Wei Xi's small body again and again, and finally shook his head.

In the past month, the six new arrivals all found their destinations: Zheng Xing went to the Agriculture Department, Qian Liangfeng, who had a poor physique but was good at math and was known for his astronomy skills, was leaving for the Astronomy Department, Qin Feng was learning swordsmanship from Master Han from the Wanjian Sect and his name was registered with the Sect Master, and the remaining two boys were taken in by Elder Niu Ma.

Wei Xi felt a subtle unease. Although she had little interest in cultivating immortals, Qin Feng always disdained the Qingcheng Sect. Given that Wei Xi's primary source of information came from the patronizing Qin Feng, the anchoring effect made it difficult for her to truly respect the Qingcheng Sect.

Who would have thought that Wei Xi would be despised by a group of people whom most cultivators looked down upon!
Adding to her worries was Qin Feng's cultivation problem. Since she couldn't understand the techniques of cultivation, she even had problems breaking through the Qi training.

Wei Xi reluctantly followed Qin Feng through the cold wind as he tried to find his own path in sword cultivation. Wei Xi, truly tired of living in poverty, gestured and suggested that Qin Feng seek help from Master Han. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng stiffened his neck and said that Master Han had no solution either.

"Master, you already knew that. Otherwise, what do you think happened to my monthly exam results?"

Qin Feng explained to Wei Xi during a break, "I can't even understand the theories I hear. This is what it means to be desperate."

Wei Xi was dejected for several days because of this. She had always set low standards for herself since she was a child, but Qin Feng was different. Wei Xi rested her chin on her hand and watched Qin Feng drink a sip of water before returning to practice his sword technique. She hoped that Qin Feng would become the best swordsman in the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful for her to follow him then?

But there was nothing she could do despite her worries. Moreover, ever since Qin Feng had his showdown with Wei Xi, she had asked Wei Xi to listen carefully in class. This way, when they could find a way to solve Qin Feng's problem, Wei Xi could give Qin Feng extra lessons.

Wei Xi was forced to live a life of listening to lectures attentively. Fortunately, Master Han had been fighting against the negative attitudes of various departments recently, otherwise she might have been so angry at Wei Xi's reasons for listening to lectures attentively that she would have needed another pair of eye rolls.

Whenever Wei Xi was distracted in class, Qin Feng would give her an arm. Senior Sister Xie, who was entrusted by Master Han to take full charge of the new disciples, pretended not to see it. Poor Wei Xi completed her first 800-word assignment in her life, "Briefly describe the pros and cons of the seven-level cultivation system in the world of immortal cultivation."

Wei Xi's level was only enough for her to clearly describe that the world of immortal cultivation is divided into seven levels: Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, spirit consciousness, Taoism, name breaking, and all things, and each level is divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

The two stages of Qi training and foundation building are both about laying the foundation. Only when you reach the Jindan stage do you start to practice the formal branches, which can also be called professional exercises. People like Zheng Xing are just learning some basic knowledge.

Wei Xi's limited vocabulary and lack of rhetoric forced her to spend three days in the Qingcheng Sect's dining hall, Yixiangzhai, listening to gossip. She gathered information about the cultivation levels of the sect's main cultivators, which served as a starting point for her vocabulary. The following is the information Wei Xi gathered:
The first to appear is the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

The head of the magic sect is a cultivator who is 105 years old this year. This old man is also a legend. He was five years old when he joined the sect. Ten years later, the boundary between the Yin and Yang worlds began to leak. All the disciples who were preparing to form the elixir died, but he was still stuck in Qi training at that time.

When he was 65 years old, he was finally able to go to the Yin and Yang worlds. His old arms and legs made the disciples of Wanjian Sect who were responsible for the arrangements worried, so they arranged him to the fringe area. As a result, he broke through the realm and successfully formed a pill.

When he returned to the sect and caught up with the previous leader, he became the former leader of the Qingcheng Sect. It is understandable that some old monks who had lost all their teeth mistook him for the previous leader.

The second Qingcheng Sect cultivator Wei Xi heard about was of a high rank. He was said to be the sect's treasure, and the two turtles who were still torturing Hu Lai in the back mountain were raised by him.

However, this person was practicing weapon refining, mainly playing an auxiliary role. Even though he had reached the Fengdao level in his early seventies, it could not change the tragic fact that the Qingcheng Sect was at the bottom of the list.

However, he himself has always been at the top of the list of "the most wanted talents by headhunters from major sects in the world of immortal cultivation". People in the martial arts world call him the Flower Elder, which is used to express his regret for the flowers stuck in cow dung.

The third one is Elder Qingniu, who started cultivating immortals in his eighties and reached the level of spiritual consciousness at the age of 145, and was ready to enter the realm of Taoism at any time.

Wei Xi learned about this during a study style intensive activity organized by Master Han.

Immortal Master Han uncovered the gambling game of the Qingcheng Sect, in which the hottest topic was whether Elder Qingniu would break through first or die first.

Wei Xi was shocked to see that Han Xianshi's face turned black, and the crow in his right eye socket turned into a ball of black mist and drilled out of his eye socket. With lightning speed, it turned into a group of crows that pecked all the disciples involved in gambling until they were bleeding. Qin Feng was amazed at the sight.

Finally, Zheng Xing's senior brothers and sisters invited Elder Qingniu over, and after much persuasion, Master Han finally stopped corporally punishing these disciples.

The only notable cultivators of the Qingcheng Sect are Chu Xiuqin and her disciple Wei An, a legendary master-disciple duo in the world of immortal cultivation. Don't get me wrong, this isn't some tragic love story, nor are they keen on challenging ethics. It's simply that both are Dan cultivators in the Jindan stage, one obsessed with money, the other with sex.

Chu Xiuqin, who loves sex, likes to appreciate beauties, so much so that her only disciple Wei An is one of the most handsome men in the world of immortal cultivation, not to mention all the handsome men she has attracted.

Her only disciple Wei An was quite talented and was about to be accepted by the Ding Xin Sect. However, Chu Xiuqin showed him how much money he could make by following her to sell beauty pills. Wei An, who was less than eight years old, had shining eyes and became a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect.

The third problem that troubled Wei Xi was also closely related to this strange pair of master and disciple. Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh that Wei Xi was indeed the one with a better brain.
