Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 357 Shocking Secret 1
Wei Xi looked at the outgoing middle-aged man warily: He called him "fellow Taoist" so affectionately, what was he thinking?
But this "person" could not be killed by beating, nor could he be scolded. Wei Xi really had no way to deal with him for the time being.

"It's quite ironic," the middle-aged man shook his head slightly when he saw that Wei Xi's expression hadn't changed at all. "Back then, we were full of ambition and accomplished countless earth-shattering feats! Now... our reputations are shattered, and we're no better than the dead things we once refined!"

Wei Xi was confused and simply ignored this "person" who was eager to express himself. He turned around and began to plan his escape route.

Just like the ripe bean pods in autumn, Wei Xi believed that such lonely people could not hold back their inner thoughts, and soon the secrets would burst out one after another.

As expected, the middle-aged man watched Wei Xi gesture at several landing positions and said, "Although your cultivation is poor, your comprehension is quite good! You found a way to escape in such a short time. It seems that you have a very good grasp of Yin and Yang!"

As soon as these words fell, Wei Xi could feel his shoulders sink. It was obvious that Qin Feng had become suspicious.

Wei Xi deliberately concealed the fact that she used Yin and Yang Qi to practice, and Qin Feng, who was closest to her, was also fooled.

At this moment, Qin Feng did not ask on the spot, as it was already a tacit understanding between the two.

"Yin and Yang Qi are fundamental. Hard work and practice may not be enough to turn things around. Although I'm still a Foundation Establishment cultivator in my teens, it's not too late to catch up..."

Wei Xi frowned and asked bluntly, "How old were you when you established your foundation?"

"Seven years old! If Tang Yin hadn't been born in the first month of the year, would she have been the genius of the cultivation world?"

"Foundation-building at the age of seven?" Wei Xi asked with a smile, "Then how old were you when you achieved Dan? Fifteen?"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "I followed my master to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to study at the age of five. I established my foundation at the age of seven, and reached the Dan stage at the age of twelve. Then I traveled throughout the Northern Frontier and the Southern River. By the age of thirty, I was already one of the best weapon refiners! I'm the only one worthy of the title 'Sword Master of the Four Realms'! Countless cultivators have asked me to refine magical weapons!"

This is strange, Wei Xi thought secretly, if this man is not lying, his rapidly increasing strength is obviously not right.

Considering a series of details about the young age of the Jindan cultivator, Wei Xi set his sights on this "person".

So Wei Xi put on an impatient look and replied, "Establishing your foundation at seven, forming your elixir at twelve? You could be considered a genius of your generation, but how did you end up in the north of the border, baring your teeth at ants?"

"Besides, Dieqi Mountain opens only once every fifty years. You're incredibly lucky to be born at the perfect time!"

"What do you mean?" The cheerful middle-aged man's face changed drastically. He stepped over to Wei Xi and asked anxiously, "What do you mean Dieqi Mountain opens only once every fifty years? Isn't that place sealed?"

Wei Xi, who had been trying to trick him, smelled a secret and said honestly, "Dieqi Mountain is a must-go place for cultivators to achieve Dan formation these days. At least that's the way it is for the sects that obey the command of the Wanjian Sect."

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of disbelief. He seemed to have been greatly stimulated. Veins bulged on his forehead, his teeth were clenched as if an enemy was in his mouth, and the strange thing wrapped around his arm made a buzzing sound.

Wei Xi moved back cautiously, fearing that this senior who was no longer alive would go berserk and hurt someone.

Although the distance was far, Wei Xi could hear the middle-aged man's slightly crazy whispering clearly.

"Impossible! Impossible! Yu Qu had calculated that the rift in Dieqi Mountain must be sealed... How could it still be there? Chen Fulin, he was responsible for sealing that rift..."

"We all died... for this! Tang Yin was his senior sister, how could he do that?"

"No! No! I'm doing this for the people of this world! I'm halfway to becoming an immortal! Why! No! No!"

The middle-aged man suddenly looked up, staring at Wei Xi with a pair of blood-red eyes. He roared and rushed over, shaking off the object wrapped around his arm, "It's you! You are lying to me!" Wei Xi burst out with Yin and Yang energy, and more than twenty flying knives stabbed at the opponent's face, while he carried Qin Feng and dodged sideways.

"Can you take us away?" Wei Xi asked desperately while holding the scroll.

"No, any living creature except me who enters the scroll will die... Even I am restricted by the scroll and cannot use [Enter the Painting]!"

Wei Xi threw away the [Pulling Thread]. Now that she had no puppet to save her life, she could only hope that this thread would be powerful enough to suck the opponent dry.

Of course, Wei Xi didn't know that [Qiansi] had eaten his fill in Zhenhai Sect, and this meridian of heaven and earth really couldn't absorb so much yin and yang energy.

The highly anticipated [Qiansi] was in a panic, but now it recognized Wei Xi as its master (although it was a mistake), so it had to desperately entangle the middle-aged man's hands and feet, fearing that he would go crazy and kill Wei Xi. This time, it couldn't even sleep alone on the thread.

Who allowed [Qiansi] and Wei Xi's bones to grow together? One misstep leads to eternal regret!

The middle-aged man missed his move and quickly turned around, swinging the chain in his hand towards Wei Xi's chest.

"You still say I have no moral principles!" Wei Xi was almost driven crazy by this slovenly man. "You are showing off your prowess here against a junior like me? Why don't you go find Chen Fulin?"

"My cultivation is poor, but I have a sharp mind! Unlike some people, who were deceived by their peers and lost their lives in vain! Now the Wanjian Sect is famous all over the world, and you can only linger here! How despicable!"

Wei Xi's words completely angered the middle-aged man. The chain in his hand suddenly became thicker, and the thing hanging below swelled to the size of a watermelon. The lid suddenly unscrewed, revealing sharp serrations, and flew towards Wei Xi's head.

This attack was so quick and fierce that Wei Xi, who was already at the end of his strength, had no way to dodge.

At this time, a surge of ice-blue spiritual power surged out, and a wall of ice protected Wei Xi.

Wei Xi's nose felt cold as a piece of metal the size of a watermelon smashed into the ice wall. The dim light made the deadly weapon expanding in the ice look even more hideous.

From the serrations and the unscrewable design, Wei Xi could tell at a glance that this was a weapon used to take human heads.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Qin Feng's move, Wei Xi's head would have been twisted off.

The next moment, Wei Xi's eyes were bloodshot: Qin Feng, who had broken free from the leather, was tied up by the swarm of black ropes and pulled towards the battle flag. Her wound burst open and blood splattered in an arc in the air.

Wei Xi didn't care about the crazy middle-aged man. He controlled the [Pulling Thread] to rescue Qin Feng who was taken away, and used all his remaining spiritual power.

"Xiaoxi! Go!" Qin Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, blood gushing out from the corners of his mouth, snatched away by the greedy black lines.

The miserable appearance of his best friend actually calmed Wei Xi down. He put the scroll on his waist, and pounced on the middle-aged man with a fierce look, forcing the Yin and Yang Qi into the unexpected air mass.

"Save Qin Feng! Otherwise, I will not let you retain even this little bit of Yin and Yang energy!"

Wei Xi had used Yin and Yang Qi to practice before. If she tried her best to destroy her Qi Palace, theoretically she could absorb all the remaining Yin and Yang Qi from Qu Bujin (the middle-aged man).

Qin Feng was locked up by the Dingsheng Banner because he had never come into contact with Yin and Yang Qi (in this book, it means using Yin and Yang Qi to practice). Even the skin that was taken off by Gou Xie could isolate the Yin and Yang Qi.

Qin Feng is a DPS player, capable of killing enemies above his level. Wei Xi is a ranged and technical talent, though his melee skills are difficult to judge. As for Lian Gouyu, he's a special talent, relying on his natural talent. Cultivating immortality is out of the question; his body structure doesn't allow it.
