Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Qin Feng's sword was blocked by someone. She didn't know if it was a trap, so she had to knock the enemy away together with the intruder and quickly retreat to her teammates.

Two figures were rolling on the ground. The difference was that one used his head to create deep marks, while the other quickly adjusted his body shape so as not to hit the ground with his head.

Wei Xi's crossbow was already set up, and the arrow head had an imperceptible green light, obviously coated with poison.

The advantage of using poison is that it can cause damage as soon as the shot hits the target. It is not only convenient and quick, but even if the poisoner is not strong enough, the antidote can also insure the life of the poisoner. The disadvantage is that if you are not careful, you may end up hurting yourself instead of poisoning others, and you will end up losing more than you gain.

Fortunately, Wei Xi was very cautious. The dozen or so poison bottles were not only fireproof and frostproof, but also extremely sturdy. Several protective spells were cast on them. Unique marks were engraved on the bottom of the bottles to prevent accidental taking. The antidote was also carried close to his body.

Wei Xi's finger was on the trigger, spiritual power flowing through his bones, ready to send the opponent to heaven at any time.

The one who landed smoothly threw out a golden noose, which landed accurately on the neck of the other "person".

In the surprised eyes of Wei Xi and the other two, the monk who inexplicably attacked them turned into a donkey-like... creature.

Wei Xi had tried his best to describe the other's appearance. He said it looked like a donkey, which made the donkey feel wronged: not only was its skin covered with cracks, but even its turned-over hooves had noses, and its belly was extremely swollen, like a huge boil.

If it weren't for the rough outline of the two ears standing up, Wei Xi wouldn't have been able to find the word "donkey" to describe it.

At this moment, the other party was still dizzy and half-dead, tied to the rope.

"I'm so sorry, fellow Taoists! It's all my fault for being careless. I let the money-feeding beast escape and nearly hurt you all! I'm out doing business and don't have much else. I only have some money to make up for it. I hope the three of you won't mind!"

The person who spoke was naturally the woman who had blocked Qin Feng's attack. She was in her early twenties, with slightly dark skin, tall and sturdy build, long and powerful limbs, a few freckles on her cheeks, and a pair of round eyes that added a touch of innocence, but a closer look revealed determination and shrewdness. The calluses on her palms were obvious, clearly a trained martial artist. She held the end of the noose in her right hand and respectfully handed over a box with her left.

Judging from his appearance alone, this person is very suitable for the identity of a businessman who goes out to do business.

This person was able to block Qin Feng's attack, but she wanted to make a big deal out of it. Wei Xi estimated that she had the ability but was not sure she could deal with three people at the same time.

Wei Xi was confident and in the right, so he didn't know how to lose.

Fortunately, Wei Xi was suspicious by nature, and his imprisonment had strengthened his patience. He did not take the box, but asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yuan Qizi, and I'm a caravan leader. Our caravan specializes in the route between Chongxiao City and Jucheng... This fortune-feeding beast is one of our cargoes."

"I just wonder if you three gave this animal any money or property..."

It was obvious that Qin Feng didn't enjoy the fight to the fullest, so he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Not really!"

The cold answer made Yuan Qizi breathe a sigh of relief, and he took the initiative to explain: "The three fellow Taoists are indeed cautious. If we gave money and property to this beast, I'm afraid we would be in big trouble today!"

"The Money-Feeding Beast is naturally fond of money. When it comes across anything valuable, it will stuff its mouth with it until its belly bursts. This Money-Feeding Beast is on the verge of bursting its stomach. If the three Taoists are not careful and fall into its trap, I'm afraid you will also be injured by its bursting belly today!"

As soon as Wei Xi heard this, she knew that Yuan Qizi was avoiding the important issue, but she didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs.

Even though the other party kept calling him "fellow Taoist", Wei Xi did not think that the other party was the same as him.

Wei Xi nodded coldly and took the box from Yuan Qizi. As for the other party's invitation to travel to Chongxiao City with the three of them, Wei Xi declined, citing an urgent mission.

That’s right, the “Chongxiao City” that Wei Xi and the other two thought they had arrived at was actually the old site of Chongxiao City.

Due to the expansion of the Black Abyss, Chongxiao City moved away from its old site for various reasons. However, the old site, a manifestation of the pioneering spirit of Chongxiao City's ancestors, holds immeasurable significance, and thus has been preserved. The wealthy and powerful Chongxiao City will continue to maintain the old site.

Wei Xi and the other two suffered from the disadvantage of being in unfamiliar place, and were tricked by the escaped monster with a few spells.

"I heard that the Wealth Beast is a monster that only takes in treasures and never gives out. The more treasures it eats, the bigger its belly gets. Just now, its belly was almost bulging into transparency. How many good things must be in its belly?"

Lian Gou, who grew up in Baoxiang City, said with regret, "What a pity... If we had more time, we could feed it some wealth and help it survive the impact of the wealth-feeding beast's stomach being ripped open. We could have gotten a great bargain!"

After receiving the additional information, Wei Xi finally understood what Yuan Qizi was hiding: the money-feeding beast was probably on the verge of bursting, and this time it was brought here to sell for a good price. Unexpectedly, this monster was very restless, running out halfway and deceiving people without knowing the consequences.

Qin Feng's expression brightened a little, and he said slowly, "No wonder Yuan Qizi is so secretive. If we were greedy, she would probably be killed here with all her goods!"

"There are some things you shouldn't touch," Wei Xi said softly. "Yuan Qizi is quite powerful. He probably came here alone because the caravan is dispersing to look for people."

"This trip is to attend the auction, there's no need to get into any unnecessary trouble!"

Wei Xi said this just to remind her: After being severely beaten by Changshengmu, she finally realized her own strength and determined her development goal to focus on survival and growth.

In reality, Wei Xi was feeling a bit apprehensive. Ever since she joined the Qingcheng Sect, she'd always been plagued by inexplicable misfortunes.

With a series of precedents such as the death of Shi Ke in Baoxiang City, the monsters in Tangkou Town and Zhenhai Sect, and the innocent people being imprisoned, it is difficult for Wei Xi not to be wary of Yuan Qizi.

After all, this happened by sheer coincidence.

Wei Xi secretly groaned inwardly: This time, he really just wanted to be a spendthrift "second-generation cultivator" and spend all the spirit stones sponsored by his future master. If he got into trouble, the internal Qi Palace plan would be postponed.

"You're scaring yourself," Wei Xi thought. "What's so worthy of plotting against Qingcheng Sect disciples?"

Regardless of the effect of this comfort, the three of them were definitely traveling at a very fast speed and soon arrived at the real Chongxiao City.

From a distance, Wei Xi could see the flags fluttering in the wind on the city wall.

It was a large white flag three people high, with the names of ancestors who had sacrificed their lives for Chongxiao City embroidered densely in black thread.

Of course, this flag, which symbolizes sacrifice and dedication, is a custom-made instrument so that it can accommodate millions of names.

With such a flag placed at the city gate, anyone who wanted to cause trouble in Chongxiao City would be weakened in spirit.

The more she understood the world, the more she felt she didn't know enough. So, with her confusion, she successfully entered Chongxiao City.
