Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

"Half of the people in Chongxiao City are here," Qin Feng lowered the curtain. "There are quite a few Jindan cultivators, and a few seniors who have reached the level of God Consciousness..."

Wei Xi, leaning against the carriage wall, said gloomily, "The man-eating ants are at least Dan-forming monsters. Sending these people to die alone is not enough. I don't believe the Chamber of Commerce has no backup plan."

"I don't think so," Lian Gouqie handed Wei Xi a cup of hot tea. "It's said that monsters like the man-eating ants have better teeth and are more numerous. It's said that they can kill even a Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting alone without direct contact. Chongxiao City will probably use a human wave tactic!"

"We're just going to clear out the small fry. There's no telling how many experts there are at the Black Abyss outpost. We... ahem... better be careful!"

Lian Gouqie wanted to say, "Wanted criminals like us should be careful!", but his eyes caught sight of Yun Qing huddled in the corner of the carriage, and he could only remain vague.

Earlier today, Qin Feng bought a carriage in Chongxiao City. Wei Xi and the other two had no sense of being wanted criminals at all. They changed their faces and joined the large-scale team-building activity led by the Chamber of Commerce to kill man-eating ants.

Yun Qing could not be left in Chongxiao City, so Qin Feng, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, bought the carriage with his own money.

It is not known what Yun Qing, who is still in autism, thinks for the time being, but Wei Xi is very grateful for this carriage.

The Black Abyss is located in the northeast of Chongxiao City. The closer Wei Xi got to the Black Abyss, the more indescribable discomfort he felt.

Wei Xi stuffed a Biqi Pill into his mouth to calm the restless spiritual energy in his body.

"What on earth does the Black Abyss have..." Wei Xi pinched the bridge of his nose and thought: "It's the [true self] that the Immortal Wood gave me..."

Because Yun Qing was here, the cautious Wei Xi did not take out the [Self] in the Qiankun bag to study it.

"If the sky falls, there will be someone tall enough to hold it up. Even if something goes wrong in the Black Abyss, we small fry can easily take advantage of the situation."

On the road to the Black Abyss outpost, there were monks flying on swords, as well as monks riding various spiritual beasts. The carriage that Wei Xi and his group were riding in was not conspicuous.

On the snowy plain, the outposts of the Black Abyss are scattered among them. The blue boulders are piled into forts, and the forts are connected by deep trenches.

Wei Xi stuck his head out and squinted his eyes as he watched the man-eating ants that broke into the defense line trigger the formation and rolled into the deep trench. The bunkers at both ends spewed flames, and the man-eating ants in the trench were burned and curled up. The air was filled with a dry fragrance.

There is more than one such line of defense. Looking up, the outposts of Chongxiao City are densely packed. In addition to the combination of fortresses and trenches, there is also a combination of snow towers and giant trees. Huge crossbows can be seen from afar, which are probably used to deal with the monsters from the sky.

Seeing this line of defense, Wei Xi felt relieved: How could such a divine weapon as the Fiery Trench be so difficult to deal with a mere monster? Chongxiao City is impregnable! Impregnable!

Otherwise, monsters are just monsters, no matter whether they are in the Dan stage or the spiritual stage, these monsters will only act on instinct, while cultivators who are good at playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses can defeat these powerful monsters.

You can't chop someone face to face. Why fight with man-eating ants when you can just dig a hole and have a barbecue?
But at this moment, the spiritual power in Wei Xi's body surged more and more, and even [Pulling Silk] began to actively help the host to sort out the spiritual power, which barely maintained stability.

Due to the situation, Wei Xi doesn't have much time left.

Fortunately, the monks were quick and spontaneously lined up, and went to a low bungalow to receive the task cards in the order they arrived at the outpost.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the quality of these cultivators hanging around in Chongxiao City is extremely high, it's simply because you need a waist badge to enter the Black Abyss, and there are two cultivators with spiritual awareness standing on the snow towers on both sides with half-human-high bows and arrows.

The spiritual power of the cultivators of divine consciousness enveloped everyone, and ninety-nine percent of the cultivators had no choice but to abide by the rules. Perhaps because they had not expected the wanted criminal to appear so brazenly here, the outpost had not set up any formations or magical instruments to identify the criminal, and Wei Xi and the other two successfully obtained the token.

"If you want to go to the auction, you can get ten man-eating ant heads per person. In addition, the deposit for the waist badge can be ten man-eating ant heads per person."

The person in charge of issuing the tokens was a round-faced female cultivator who looked to be in her early thirties. A scimitar was placed across the table. Her Jindan level of cultivation was enough to deal with most people in Chongxiao City. The fact that she was able to take on this lucrative position was enough to show her ability.

"Deposit?" Lian Gouqie, who was wearing a badge on his waist, was very dissatisfied. "I heard clearly that the auction only accepts ten ant heads!"

The round-faced female cultivator said impatiently, "Yes, the auction is for ten, and the other ten are the price of the waist badges. Don't you understand?"

Lian Gou was about to ask again, but the other party raised his eyes and golden-red spiritual power burst out. Lian Gou felt as if he was in magma and immediately stopped fighting with the other party.

The round-faced female cultivator sneered and patted her scabbard. "Without a waist badge, we will not issue invitations to the auction. This is our rule!"

Wei Xi pulled Lian Gouqie, who dared not speak, and stretched out his left hand to ask for the fourth badge.

As expected, the round-faced female cultivator was too lazy to ask any more questions. She handed the fourth badge to Wei Xi and motioned her to leave.

"Even the lion's mouth is wide open and we can't stop him! This is robbery!" Lian Gouyue pinched his badge in his hand and whispered, "I should have sneaked in earlier. Now I have to kill twenty more man-eating ants..."

Qin Feng said calmly, "All crows are black. The share of the ten man-eating ants doesn't belong to just one person. Everyone from the outpost's chamber of commerce will also share in the profits. Asking you for twice as much is nothing. Besides, aren't you going to the auction?"

Wei Xi knew Qin Feng was right. The extra ten man-eating ant heads were clearly forced upon these cultivators by the Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that the man-eating ant skulls, teeth, and acid were all highly sought-after materials, the selective extortion alone was enough to explain the problem.

After all, the person next to Wei Xi was a cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage. He only needed to pay the heads of ten man-eating ants to get an invitation to enter.

By comparing the two, we can know who is the real victim.

Unfortunately, sometimes one cannot avoid the fate of being a sucker. Wei Xi only regretted that he was not the one who was blackmailing others. He could only watch the man-eating ant-shaped spirit stone go into other people's pockets.

Yun Qing was left in the carriage by the three men, and Wei Xi left behind a string of puppets to guard his old friend who had not yet recovered.

Crossing the giant invisible magic circle that stretched for hundreds of miles, Wei Xi successfully entered the jurisdiction of the Black Abyss. At this moment, she understood the reason for her unhappiness.

"The area around the Black Abyss is actually filled with extremely rich yin and yang energy!"

Wei Xi understood why her spiritual power was surging in her body: she had used Yin and Yang Qi to practice cultivation before, and now when she felt the Yin and Yang Qi, her body's subconscious reaction was very violent.

"The yin and yang energy here is even more intense than the Yin and Yang Slope Prison on Dieqi Mountain. What on earth is Chongxiao City fighting against?"
