Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

The Chongxiao City under the banner of the war was bustling with traffic and activity.

However, what attracted Wei Xi's attention was the high and thick city walls.

The main material of the city wall is a blue-black boulder called Fuwu, which is not only very strong, but also can absorb a large amount of spiritual power. It is an ideal building material and was once listed as a controlled material by the State of Ju.

According to Wei Xi, the Fuwu Stone used in the construction of the new site of Chongxiao City flattened a mountain top, and countless spirit stones were consumed.

The so-called "new site" is only relative to the old site. In fact, the expansion of Heiyuan and the relocation of Chongxiao City have been five or six hundred years ago.

Due to the simple folk customs and to resist the expansion of the Black Abyss, the walls of Chongxiao City have been reinforced by many cultivators in various strange ways over the long years, and even have many inexplicable functions.

As an important part of Chongxiao City's defense system,
As a weapon refiner, how could Wei Xi miss such a good learning opportunity? He wanted to tear down all the secret techniques on the city wall.

Despite catching up on theoretical knowledge, Wei Xi admitted that the city wall in front of her was too complicated: there were more than thirty formations that she had identified, not to mention the formations that a small fry like her in the declining era could not recognize.

Wei Xi shifted his gaze from the Baili Ming (a reconnaissance tool) embedded outside the city wall and handed the waist badge symbolizing his identity as a monk to the guard for inspection. After confirming that it was correct, he entered the city smoothly.

"The guard just now was also at the Foundation Establishment stage," Qin Feng put away his badge and said excitedly, "The strength of Chongxiao City should not be underestimated! I just don't know why they didn't register us? Is the management a little lax..."

"How can you survive here without some skills? To the south is the warlike Ju State, to the east are the Hu people, to the west are some cities, and to the north is the Black Abyss where beast tides erupt at any time. Chongxiao City is not strong enough, it would have been destroyed long ago!"

Lian Gouqie's explanation made perfect sense - having grown up in Baoxiang City, a force that had to play both sides to gain survival space, he had a certain ability to analyze similar situations.

Although this statement was a bit crude, Wei Xi and Qin Feng felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Xi asked, "Do you think there are many masters in Chongxiao City?"

"With so many people coming and going on the street, I think there are many who are not easy to mess with, including some masters who have reached the stage of forming a golden elixir... Didn't Wen Daotang say that you can't form a golden elixir if you leave Dieqi Mountain?"

Unlike Lian Gou's carefree attitude, Qin Feng, who had a higher level of cultivation, said cautiously, "Currently, there are quite a few cultivators in Chongxiao City. Although we can't make everyone a cultivator, the proportion of cultivators in Chongxiao City far exceeds that of Ju State."

"As for the Jindan masters..." Qin Feng's expression became hesitant and confused, "...Aren't some of them too young?"

Wei Xi said nothing, just thinking.

The remaining two people were also used to Wei Xi's caution. After all, the three of them were still strolling on the street, so it was better to say less.

For Wei Xi, the fact that her two friends could ask questions showed that they had grown.

Wei Xi was impressed by his ability to raise key questions.

Although these two questions are essentially two manifestations of the same problem, their core point is the theory of forming the elixir at Dieqi Mountain.

When Wei Xi was in the Yinyangpo Prison, which was full of talented people, she heard some rumors about Yinyang Qi. In addition, she had successfully used Yinyang Qi to practice, so it was hard for her not to doubt the conclusion that "one must go to Dieqi Mountain to form a pill."

In fact, based on Wei Xi's own experience, cultivating Yin-Yang Qi is more efficient and effective, though there is a slight risk of a slight imbalance of Yin and Yang, leading to a fatal explosion. Everyone who has used Yin-Yang Qi speaks highly of it!
It's a pity that no matter how Wei Xi acted like a spoiled child or pretended to be stupid, she was unable to dig out more information from her cellmate who had a brilliant record. It was a pity.

The gathering of masters and the overly young Jindan cultivators all confirmed Wei Xi's conjecture: rather than saying that Jindan requires the Dieqi Mountain that opens once every fifty years, it is better to say that Jindan requires a large amount of Yin and Yang Qi.

The former Yinyangpo Prison and the current Chongxiao City, combined together, showed Wei Xi a clear path forward.

In fact, Wei Xi's little brain was thinking deeper: Why did the sects headed by the Wanjian Sect fabricate the theory of forming a pill on the Dieqi Mountain? And why did the lie last for so many years without being exposed?
Wei Xi had no reliable guess for the first question, but the second question made her back wet.

There are too many smart people in the world, and silence often represents a huge taboo.

Wei Xi didn't think the sect was driven by profit to stick to the theory of forming a pill on the mountain. Because there were too many forces involved, if there was even an uneven distribution of the spoils, the matter would be exposed.

Unless there is a bigger taboo behind it, this is why the monks in the sect keep silent.

Wei Xi couldn't be happy at all after knowing such a big secret.

"The most urgent task is to gather all the materials and improve our strength. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I am lucky enough to be able to manage my own people..."

Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie didn't know that because of a change in his mindset, Wei Xi took the initiative to lower the standards for finding materials and put improving his strength on the agenda.

As usual, the three of them asked for two rooms in the inn. The owner was also a monk with a blue birthmark on his face. He lent the auction brochure to the guests who came from afar.

"Everyone in Chongxiao City is united as one. The auction brochures have all been delivered to the inn."

Wei Xi and the other two didn't know that all the residents of Chongxiao City were members of the Chongxiao Chamber of Commerce.

That’s right, the power of universal cultivation is so magical.

Residents of Chongxiao City will undergo a unified test of their Qi and Gen Gu when they reach the age of five. Children who are not qualified to cultivate immortality will be sent to the orphanage under the Chamber of Commerce to learn a craft. When they turn fifteen, each of them will receive a sum of silver and leave Chongxiao City.

Someone once plotted against these young people, setting up a scheme to defraud them of their money and then killing them. Without a second thought, Chongxiao City, under the influence of thunderbolts, executed all those implicated. From then on, no one dared to target the men and women of Chongxiao City again.

As for those children who have Qi Palace and root bones, they will receive relevant training. When they grow up, they will be thrown into the snow to kill monsters. When they have established their foundation, they will be allowed to come back.

Under this bizarre system, the population of Chongxiao City is really small, and a chamber of commerce that can organize everyone to fight against the Black Abyss and deal with the spoils can satisfy the appetite of the monks.

As for the other people on the street, some came here to participate in the auction, or to dispose of materials used for cultivation... 90% of them were not from Chongxiao City.

A border city not only supports a group of cultivators, but has also evolved into a famous goods distribution center in the world of immortal cultivation.

Wei Xi flipped through the brochure and actually found two suitable materials: Heart Fire and Eternal Gold. Although not as good as the Immortal Wood, they were still good materials, and most importantly, she could afford them.
