Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 16 Good Will Hunting
"Where are you from?" Qin Feng didn't bother to eat and took the cat over. Then she figured it out.

"You raise it to catch mice?" Wei Xi nodded. Qin Feng looked at her admiringly. "You think quickly, but can this cat catch this?"

Wei Xi winked and looked very confident.

After spending the past few months together, Qin Feng also realized that Wei Xi was smart, but to put it bluntly, Wei Xi was a bit mean.

So Qin Feng waited to see how Wei Xi would implement biological control. She really liked cats and donated her old cotton-padded clothes to build a nest for the kitten.

When Wei Xi got dinner, he also asked for half a bowl of milk, poured it into a teacup and fed it to the kitten as food.

After dinner, Qin Feng played with the kitten and gave Wei Xi a name. Wei Xi took the leather Qin Feng gave her and sat under the lamp to sew knee pads and gloves.

The piece of leather Qin Feng was talking about was a whole piece of leather, which was completely unusable by the two little kids Wei Xi and Qin Feng.

Wei Xi made the gloves first. She and Qin Feng were doing sword fighting, one sweeping the floor and the other practicing sword fighting. She could only make the fingerless ones. Finally, the kitten fell asleep, and Qin Feng stopped Wei Xi from working to avoid hurting her eyes.

The next day, Wei Xi got up early and swept the road. She bit a meat bun, carried a shovel with a small pot hanging on it, and a flint, and went to the pine forest to take care of the snow radish.

According to the book "Introduction to Pharmacy", snow radish is a common low-level spiritual medicine with a cold nature. It is mainly used to delay corruption and is often used to refine beauty pills.

This magical medicine only grows in the woods where the snow is half a foot thick, and its growing period is two months.

Wei Xi calculated that he could only earn this money for four months.

After swallowing the last bite of the bun, Wei Xi began to pick up branches in the woods. She picked those dry pine branches that burned quickly.

After picking up almost all the snow, Wei Xi cleared a piece of land in a larger open space and dug a fire pit. He put a lot of snow into the pot he brought with him and put the pot on the fire.

Snow radish does not need to be watered after being planted. You just need to prevent it from being eaten by insects underground.

Wei Xi strictly followed the methods in the book to carry out pest control: boil the snow into water, cool it, and then pour it on the ground. Then he left the work to the snow radish that absorbed the snow water.

There was just one problem. Wei Xi was worried as he looked at the half-acre of land: his pot was too small, and it was really troublesome to water it once.

So the first thing she did after receiving the spirit stones was to run to her senior brother who was in charge of purchasing and ask him to buy her an iron pot.

And Wei Xi's misfortune gradually became apparent.

Ever since she started sweeping the mountain gate, it would snow every five or six days, and Qin Feng was forced to help Wei Xi sweep the snow twice.

Moreover, for a month, the tabby cat named Rat Killer General by Qin Feng did not catch any mice at all. Wei Xi lay on the ground with a dead mouse to train it. The cat looked at Wei Xi as if he were a fool, and when it got tired of looking, it squatted aside and licked its paws.

Then there was the night watchman thing. Qian Liangfeng nearly burned down Bailu Pavilion because he got so engrossed in observing the celestial phenomena that he nearly burned it down. The first time Senior Sister Xie got angry, she made Qian Liangfeng kneel in the Frost Palace for three days and forbade him from doing any more night watch. The workload for the five newcomers was increased, but their pay remained the same.

The only smooth progress for Wei Xi was with the half acre of snow radish.

Wei Xi worked very hard to take care of Master Chu's half acre of snow radish. He looked after it every day. Wei Xi built a small stove in the woods based on his own stove so that he could boil snow water conveniently.

Wei Xi even made two scarecrows to scare the mountain birds. Because of this, the monks who raised the birds came and scolded Wei Xi, saying that he was disturbing the birds' mood. Qin Feng, holding his sword, was restrained by Wei Xi, who pretended to be a coward. That night, Wei Xi led Qin Feng over the wall to select a valuable bird to release.

The most vicious thing was that Wei Xi only released the birds of two people. Sure enough, the third person became a suspect, and an internal conflict broke out in the Bird Bureau.

So you can imagine Wei Xi's anger when she found that the snow radishes she carefully cared for every day were gone. After she confirmed that it was not the pests that she watered with snow water every day that did it, nor that they were eaten by birds in the mountains, she suspected the small animals and people in the mountains.

Wei Xi showed a sinister smile, and the rat-catching general cautiously crawled into his nest.

Once again thanking her parents, Wei Xi took branches and snow to cover the pit, the hunter's little Ji Qiao.

Wei Xi squatted in the snow at night and wondered whether he needed to prepare the bamboo sticks that were placed at the bottom of the pit.

At this moment, there was movement in Wei Xi's pit. She rushed to the trap with a lantern in her hand, feeling a little regretful. The light followed the splashing snowflakes and illuminated the face of the person who was crawling out from the bottom of the pit.

Wei Xi's pupils dilated. After all, it was not so easy to forget Senior Brother Wei Anwei's handsome face.

"I don't know you, are you the new junior sister?"

Senior Brother Wei smiled and extended his hand to Wei Xi, "I heard that there's a junior sister practicing sword in the back mountain in the middle of the night. I don't know who dug a hole here. Can you lend a hand?"

Wei Xi's face was frighteningly dark, and Wei An saw that she didn't say a word.

"Did you dig this?" Wei Xi nodded slowly. Wei An was visibly embarrassed. He was a cultivator in the Jindan stage, and there were still ten years before the next leakage of the Yin-Yang boundary. This meant that although he had a handsome face, his actual age was over sixty years old.

Wei An was caught in a trap set by a young girl who had just entered the academy. Fortunately, he had little sense of shame. He looked at Wei Xi expectantly, his hands still hanging in the air.

This trick never fails on female monks, and Wei Xi is no exception. Her complexion looks much better, but she still refuses to pull Wei An up.

Wei Xi stuck the lantern into the ground and gestured to ask if he had taken the snow radish. Wei An shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand. Wei Xi took out the cowhide scroll and wrote a few times with his fingers, and "Did you take the snow radish from the ground these days?" appeared in the air in front of Wei An.

"I just finished my retreat today, and when I came out to count the herbs, I found that the snow radish was missing."

As he spoke, Wei An's eyes lit up as he said, "In the spring, the Tiandi Sect invited the sects from the northern border to come to the small secret realm. This is a business opportunity! I want to refine furnace after furnace of beauty pills! Junior sister, do you want one? You are young and have a good starting point. I will give you a 95% discount."

Wei Xi finally got to see the legendary Senior Brother Wei. He was incredibly handsome and his love for money was well-deserved.

Considering that the medicine itself was grown by Senior Brother Wei's master, Master Chu Xian, Wei Xi tactfully handed the rope to the athletically incompetent alchemist.

Wei An thanked him and held onto the rope without moving. Wei Xi showed him that he couldn't pull him up at all, so Wei An resignedly climbed up.

Some people climbed out of the pit covered in dust and dirt, while others looked stunning. Senior Brother Wei, covered in mud, still looked so handsome that Wei Xi couldn't help but relax his expression.

"So Master hired you to take care of the snow radish?" Wei An chanted a basic cleansing spell, Wei Xi pulled up the lantern and pointed to the medicine field.

"Someone stole the snow radish? Master and I are the only ones who use it in the entire Qingcheng Sect. We can't just sell it as medicinal material anymore, we can't make as much money processing it. Who would steal it?"
