Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 355 Fragments
Although the elixir was expensive, it was incredibly effective. After Wei Xi drank the bottle of elixir, his waist still hurt and his legs were weak, but at least he could stand up.

Carrying Qin Feng on his back, Wei Xi grabbed the scroll and ran along the direction of the flow of Yin and Yang energy in his memory.

To be honest, this is not easy. The man-eating ants are monsters that reproduce too fast. If you encounter a queen ant in her prime, it will be no problem for her to build an army in half a day.

Ke Fawei, a monster belonging to the same ant family, was also a powerful troop generator that Wei Xi encountered in the Zhenhai Zongmu Pagoda several years ago. Its population has multiplied to the point where it can dig through several layers of secret realms, and its reproductive capacity is evident.

Chongxiao City relied on its defenses to defend against the man-eating ants, but disposing of their bodies was always a challenge. Besides the occasional spirit stones they produced, the most valuable part of the man-eating ants was their teeth, which was why Chongxiao City calculated military merit based on the number of ant heads they had.

The most valuable heads were taken away, and most of the bodies, which were contaminated with corrosive liquids, were burned. Therefore, Wei Xi now had to move forward as quickly as possible, under the yin and yang energy that obscured the sky, breathing the heavily polluted air and avoiding areas with raging fires.

Unfortunately, it was beyond the cleaning range, and the ground was littered with the corpses of man-eating ants. The corpses were in varying degrees of decay, making it difficult for Wei Xi to move. After trying several times to use the magic spell to move the corpses, Wei Xi had no choice but to set fire to the corpses.

The disheveled Wei Xi took nearly an incense stick of time to finally arrive at the Hunxiao treasure ship. Exhausted, she stumbled and fell under the cabin.

The hull composed of yin and yang energy passed over Wei Xi, and the extreme coldness and pure heat hit her body.

It is better to be prepared. Wei Xi was extremely glad that she had secretly used the Yin and Yang energy to practice, otherwise she would definitely explode and die.

Wei Xi, trembling, manipulated the [Pulling Thread] to climb onto the hull. There was no physical ship, but a tattered and weird battle flag, a crimson, continuously stretching red line, and a dusty, half-dead girl. The scene was a bit creepy.

[Pulling Silk] does not require spiritual power if it acts on instinct; if Wei Xi wants to control its behavior, he needs to maintain a supply of spiritual power, and the amount of spiritual power used is proportional to the sophistication and difficulty of the behavior.

Fortunately, the spiritual power required for [Pulling Silk] is far less than the Yin and Yang Qi. The spiritual power needed to search the boat and catch the bird is only a little difficult for Wei Xi who is building his foundation.

[Qiansi] While searching for the boat, one does not forget to draw in two breaths of yin and yang energy, focusing on being thrifty and managing the household.

Soon Wei Xi found Lingyin in a corner of the deck - the bird was flapping its wings on the deck, holding an irregular piece of debris in its mouth.

Wei Xi manipulated the [pulling silk] and caught the greedy stupid bird and brought it back to his side.

Wei Xi restored the connection with Lingyin and, ignoring its flattery, severely reprimanded the presumptuous orchid bird. He used cleaning techniques to wash away the blood stains around its eyes on its wings, and then stuffed the fur ball that had rubbed against his hands back into his clothes.

"What the hell is this?" Wei Xi stared at the black fragment spread out in his palm. "Lingyin disobeyed my orders just for this thing?"

Wei Xi's intuition told him that there was something seriously wrong with this thing. Even though he was in danger, he still checked the fingertip-sized fragment.

"Except for the better quality of the material, there's nothing special about it," Wei Xi pursed his lips, "...This material is somewhat similar to Shengde Stone... How did this thing appear here?"

The reason why they are somewhat similar is not because Wei Xi, the quasi-weapon refiner, is not skilled enough, but because Shengde Stone is a rare mineral monopolized by the Wanjian Sect.

Legend has it that Jing He, the founder of the Wanjian Sect, was originally a blacksmith from the northern border, skilled in crafting farm tools. His yin and yang energy flowed through the world. He was accidentally injured but fortunately saved by a demonic beast – a Blood River Elephant, severely injured and defeated in a battle for leadership, and forced to leave his tribe and wander the world.

Unlike other demonic beasts, this Blood River Elephant showed a fondness for humans, which is why it took the initiative to save people. To express his gratitude, Jing He traveled thousands of miles to the Wanren Snow Mountain to search for a special ore to reforge the Blood River Elephant's tusks. At that time, the Wanren Snow Mountain was infested with demonic beasts and yin and yang energy was rampant, often leaving no trace of anyone who entered the mountain.

Jing He overcame many obstacles and finally reached the summit of the Wanren Snow Mountain after a narrow escape. There, he met Fu Xing, a demon beast that claimed to control all knowledge on earth.

Fu Xing sat on the pile of bones and tested Jing He with various questions. These questions were tricky and strange, but fortunately he solved them one by one.

Fu Xing, with his flowery face and upside-down eyes, gave the last question: he wanted a sword that could cut off the past and the future, penetrate the night and the day, and see through lies and the truth.

When Wei Xi read this passage, he instantly came up with an answer: forge a random sword. This sword, however, would require some further refinement—kill Fu Xing, severing the past and the future; blinding its eyes, piercing through night and day; cutting out its tongue, separating lies and truth.

Wei Xi admitted that he was not a good person. Although it was a little difficult, it was completely feasible.

But it is obvious that Jinghe, who was successful, did not completely adopt Weixi's ideas.

After careful consideration, Jing He took out a seed and planted it in front of Fu Xing. He said, "Inside the seed coat is night, outside the seed coat is day. The person who sold me the seed told me that this is a good seed..."

"It seems that only when it grows can we tell the lies from the truth."

The spiritual power that had been accumulated along the way exploded in the Qi Palace, and Jinghe became a cultivator, giving birth to a seed, which stretched into a sword.

Fu Xing's colorful face was filled with dissatisfaction, and he shouted sternly: "The past and the future! It can't be severed! I'm going to eat you! You idiot!"

Jing He leaped into the air, and his spiritual power pressed towards Fu Xing like a tidal wave. The plants he stimulated grew wildly, as if they were rushing to a feast of life.

"It was a seed in the past, but now it is full of life, and also your dead end!"

Fu Xing happened at a bad time. Yin and Yang Qi flowed through the world, and the human race was indeed living in dire straits. However, it also produced a large number of talented cultivators who shocked the world throughout history.

It is obvious that Fu Xing became one of the villains on the road to rise, and was brutally murdered in his own lair.

Wei Xi felt that the founder of the Wanjian Sect was quite hypocritical. He and he clearly had the same goal, but he came up with a bunch of nonsense that didn't make sense.

However, Fu Xing's blood seeped into the Wanren Snow Mountain and formed a Shengde Stone deposit. After Jing He founded the Wanjian Sect, this scarce mineral was completely controlled by the Wanjian Sect.

In addition to its hard texture, the most amazing feature of Shengde Stone is that it can judge a person's moral character. If a person has a virtuous character, there will be no reaction when wearing it. Therefore, Wanjian Sect uniformly uses this mineral to make waist badges for their disciples.

Although Wei Xi had met some disciples of the Wanjian Sect, she had never studied Shengde Stone. If she had not been severely burned when she picked up the fragment, she would not have thought of Shengde Stone at all.

"Things from the Wanjian Sect actually appeared here... It's really strange..."

Jinghe's story is a bit isolated...but that's just my level...
