Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

One letter was from Li Chun and the other was from Senior Sister Xie.

Both letters were thrown in through the inn window by paper cranes, as if they were pre-arranged.

In her letter, Senior Sister Xie expressed her concern for her junior sisters and brothers, and also asked them to purchase a batch of Yunmeng deer from Nanjiang—the sect wanted to try raising a batch of spiritual beasts for the disciples. Enclosed with the letter was a receipt for spirit stones, indicating that they were for the purchase of the deer.

Lian Gou, who was sitting with his legs crossed while eating candied fruit, asked in confusion, "Our sect's winters are so cold, can we even support the deer from Nanjiang?"

"I think your brain is not as big as a deer. Don't you know how to build a shed? There are so many pine trees in Yizhangyuan. Isn't it easy to build a deer pen?"

The Yunmeng Deer is a wood-attributed spirit beast. Its smaller size makes it better suited to the mountainous Nanjiang River. Its emerald green body makes it highly concealed, though its offensive power is somewhat lacking. Long-term consumption can help cultivators stabilize their Qi and promote the flow of spiritual energy, making it suitable for those with lower cultivation levels.

Senior Sister Xie has been in charge of the sect's internal affairs for more than ten years and has finally paid off the foreign debt. It seems that now she needs to build the Qingcheng Sect well.

Wei Xi has deep feelings for the sect, so he naturally has to do this job well.

This reminded Wei Xi: if she wanted to pursue a career as a weapon refiner, she could cultivate some spiritual plants herself, which would not only be convenient but also help to subsidize her expenses.

Ignoring the two bickering people, Wei Xi picked up Li Chun's letter.

Li Chun's letter was short and concise, with a total of six sentences. The first four sentences were about the situation of the talisman business. The fifth sentence mentioned that there would be a large auction in Chongxiao City soon. If you needed rare materials, you could try your luck. The last sentence was about the dividends attached to the letter.

Wei Xi gained a further understanding of Li Chun's ability to collect intelligence: Senior Sister Xie knew that he would settle in Yudai City, so she directly asked the paper crane to find someone in Yudai City; Li Chun didn't know that his paper crane could also find him.

"Rare materials..." Wei Xi's fingers scratched heavily on the paper, "There's wood and soil, but I'm still missing three things..."

With the fine wood of [Self], Wei Xi has higher requirements for other materials - of course, it is hard to leave her hometown, and the soil of her home is much more precious than many materials in her eyes.

"Is Li Chun up to something bad? The two intelligence agencies under his control are not vegetarians..."

"Li Chun has been quite honest these past few years," Qin Feng replied. "He gave us all the spirit stones he earned from selling the talismans. Although he's a bit cunning, he hasn't played any tricks."

The word "again" touched Wei Xi's sensitive nerves. She curled her lips and said, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. You'd better be careful when dealing with him."

"Since you're worried about that fox Li Chun, why did you change the channel for selling talismans? This is the only connection we have with him anyway."

Lian Gou's words reminded Wei Xi: Don't put all your eggs in one basket, it is always good to have multiple options.

Wei Xi and Qin Feng's cultivation cannot be separated from spirit stones, so the impoverished Qingcheng Sect naturally cannot rely on them. Now they rely on drawing talismans to make money.

These spirit stones can barely supply the two people who are building their foundation, and it will be a drop in the bucket for anything beyond that.

In this situation, the three of them must seize every opportunity to get spirit stones.

To cultivate immortality, and to become a good immortal, one must have talent, hard work, luck, and financial resources.

"Chongxiao City is a unique... sect in the Northern Frontier. It controls a dark abyss. Although plagued by beast tidal waves, it also possesses abundant resources, which gradually evolved into today's large-scale auction market."

Qin Feng explained clearly, "Because of this, Chongxiao City has attracted a large number of cultivators, and various forces are also entrenched here, it can be said that there are good and bad people mixed together. If we really want to find a new channel here, it is not difficult; the trouble lies in how to ensure that this channel is reliable!"

"If we go to Chongxiao City, with our strength, we can never be too careful!"

Qin Feng was a true leader among his peers, and even when mentioning Chongxiao City, he was always cautious, which showed how complicated the situation was. While this made sense, wealth and honor are often sought through risk. Perhaps Chongxiao City truly had the materials they (well, mainly Wei Xi) needed.

Wei Xi tapped the letter on the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "We don't have any other missions anyway, so why not go to Chongxiao City for a tour? Besides, we're not going to do anything harmful, so if we're cautious, we'll probably be fine."

After a few words, the three of them decided to go to Chongxiao City to try their luck.

In reality, the biggest beneficiary of this plan was Wei Xi. After all, Qin Feng was already at the foundation-building stage, waiting for the right moment to achieve Dan formation. Lian Gou Xie, on the other hand, was a gift from heaven, requiring no practice at all, yet his abilities were each one greater than the other.

Only Wei Xi can profit from this plan.

With their concerns in mind, the three quickly recovered and went to a local auction house to buy Yunmeng deer before setting off. Wei Xi paid out of his own pocket to hire an experienced person to carefully select two male and nine female Yunmeng deer. He also bought some seeds of local spiritual plants.

They headed north with a group of Yunmeng deer, abandoned the boat and went ashore in Zhongzhou, hired a escort company to send the deer to Qingcheng Sect, and Wei Xi and the other two continued to head towards Chongxiao City.

The dry and biting wind from the northern border blew away the last trace of illness from the three people.

Wei Xi has been pondering his [self] these days. According to the Immortality Wood, this piece of wood is actually a part of the Immortality Wood.

Unfortunately, the other party did not provide any instructions for use, so Wei Xi had to hold this precious piece of wood and try it bit by bit.

First of all, Wei Xi, whose [I] bone attribute tends to wood, feels very comfortable. Even the arrogant [Qiansi] is very interested in this piece of wood and often entangles itself in it.

As the source of all trees, the Longevity Wood possessed this characteristic. Wei Xi tried to cultivate while holding the wood, and found that cultivating wood-attributed techniques was more efficient and its spiritual power was richer, which delighted him greatly.

Secondly, Wei Xi unexpectedly discovered that the Self could promote plant growth and improve product quality. After several attempts, she discovered that the Self didn't need to be constantly near the plants; any contact with them would produce varying degrees of effect.

Wei Xi came up with a solution: to embrace his True Self and use his spiritual energy to coat the seeds. This approach was both convenient and effective. The average plant growth time was shortened by nearly a quarter, and the quality of the plants also improved to varying degrees.

"If I continue to stimulate these plants with my Self, will they change in species? I need to try more in the future!"

Wei Xi wrote these words in his notes, and his dissatisfaction with the Longevity Wood dissipated a little.

After all, although we have to take action, the benefits of the Longevity Wood will be real!

The last function of the [I] is quite subtle to Wei Xi, and that is the [annual rings].

Wei Xi tried several times, but couldn't find himself at a certain point in time.

Looking at the pitch-black wood, Wei Xi felt a headache: It would be fine if she had never seen it before, but she had seen the Longevity Wood use the [Annual Rings], and she always felt uneasy if she didn't master this function.

Wei Xi suspected that the Longevity Wood was setting a trap for him. After all, the old wood had a very bad attitude at first, and even had murderous intentions at one point; but later he suddenly changed his attitude and honestly took out his [True Self].

Weighing the wood he'd risked his life to obtain, Wei Xi thought, "I can't gather all the materials right away, so this is a good time to figure out how to use [Annual Rings]..."

There is no completely good thing in this world. Wei Xi weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could afford the risk of using his [self].

Soon, the three of them arrived at Chongxiao City.
