Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 52 Life Card
When we set out, the ice and snow on Yizhangyuan had just melted, but now the grass is green and the birds are singing.

Wei Xi was turning a piece of bone in his hand, which he had found from somewhere. It was a bent bone.

Lian Gouqie was kicked into the remaining snow by Wei Xi yesterday, and his face, which had finally regained some color, turned pale again.

Wei Xi and Qin Feng's injuries were almost healed on the way.

From this perspective, Lian Gouqie is indeed the weakest in the team.

"I still don't understand why?" Lian Gou said painfully, wrapped in the fur coat Qin Feng had bought for him. "How did I offend you?"

Wei Xi ignored him, and Qin Feng just covered his wound and pretended to be in pain.

"Junior Sister Wei is young and likes to play around," Wang Xin quickly separated the group, "Don't do this again!"

Lian Gouqie felt heartbroken when he thought about how he had been so careful not to let a single snowflake touch him, but Wei Xi came up and kicked him into the remaining snow.

So the first little knowledge about snow that this person who grew up in the Western Regions learned was that the remaining snow is only one step away from water.

But can he take revenge on Wei Xi?

Not to mention Wei Xi's viciousness and cunning, Qin Feng, a woman with extremely high fighting skills and a protective personality, would not let Lian Gouqie succeed easily.

With reluctance, Lian Gouqie followed the Qingcheng Sect's group to Yizhangyuan.

"Master, thank you for your hard work!" Senior Sister Xie was waiting for them at the end of the stone steps.

After not seeing each other for more than two months, everyone more or less felt like they were back home.

"Ah, isn't this my good disciple!" The headmaster clapped his hands and laughed, but Xie Yingying knew her master's background, and something must have happened.

Senior Sister Xie glanced at the group of Carrot Heads and saw that there were quite a few people. She then looked at the taciturn Junior Brother Lin. Wait a minute, why are there so many people?
"Hello, Senior Sister!" Lian Gouyue was keenly aware of Xie Yingying's status in the Qingcheng Sect. "I'm Lian Gouyue. I used to be a casual cultivator, but the Sect Master didn't despise me and accepted me into the Qingcheng Sect."

This kid looks quite clever, how did he get tricked into joining the Qingcheng Sect? Senior Sister Xie had a hunch that something was up.

But one should not hit a smiling person, and the leader did not say anything to refute, so just let him in.

After entering, they headed straight for Piaoxiang Pavilion. Wei Xi and Qin Feng symbolically picked up a few pieces of food while Senior Sister Xie spent the entire meal figuring out the ins and outs of Lian Gouqie's joining the Qingcheng Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lian," Senior Sister Xie said carefully, "Qingcheng Sect's conditions are not outstanding. The Sect Master values talent, but as your senior sister, I have to advise you to reconsider. If you want to join another sect, we will provide you with travel expenses."

Wei Xi ate in a pretentious manner, his ears always paying attention to any movement. After hearing this, Wei Xi felt that Sister Xie was indeed more suitable for the position of the head of the sect than the head of the sect.

Lian Gouqie seemed not to hear the hidden meaning behind Sister Xie's words, and just kept stuffing rice into his mouth.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run. It was just that Wei Xi's kick yesterday had soaked the painting again. He could take the money and leave without any hesitation. If he encountered bandits, refugees, or heavy rain on the way, it wasn't impossible that he would be killed.

Senior Sister Xie didn't want to be too blunt about chasing people away, and she couldn't do anything about it since Lian Gou was only concerned with eating.

After dinner, the head took Lian Gou Xie to register the identity of Shuang Dian. Qin Feng stayed and waited to take Lian Gou Xie to the courtyard where they lived.

After lifting the curtain of the magpie climbing the branch, the mouse-catching general came over with his tail raised and rubbed Qin Feng's calf, meowing non-stop.

"Great Mouse Catcher!" Qin Feng picked up the fat cat. "It seems he's been to Chen Shuangli's place to eat fish quite often."

"Don't say that," Zhao Dazui was also in their room, "I don't dare let this cat go to Chen Shuangli's place. It eats my food every day and has become like this."

Before leaving, Wei Xi asked Zhao Dazui to keep an eye on the Rat Catcher General and not let it cause trouble to Chen Shuangli. Zhao Dazui didn't want Wei Xi to stare at him with dark eyes and accuse him of poor supervision.

"I've eaten it," Qin Feng said, stroking the rat-catching general several times. "Chen Shuangli, just count the money. I'll pay the bill."

Wei Xi gave Qin Feng a glare, but he ignored her, let go of the rat-catching general, and went to wash his hands.

Lian Gou Xie was still holding his bag and looked a little helpless.

Perhaps Zhao Dazui's ability to raise children was sparked by the fact that he was recruited. Although he was only a year older than Lian Gouyu, the generation gap was obvious, so he naturally acted like a senior.

"Come quickly. You people from the Western Regions don't know that it's still cold in the Northern Frontier at this time of night." They had just eaten dinner, and now it was already dark. "Come over here and warm yourself by the fire."

Lian Gouqie looked at the table full of dishes and felt that he had eaten enough. He moved his stool to make room for Wei Qin and the others, and his eyes moved around the glass cup on the table.

It’s great to meet a really rich woman.

Lian Gouyu took advantage of Qin Feng without mercy, but he felt a little guilty. Now that he saw that Wei Xi also benefited from Qin Feng, he felt more at ease and more reasonable.

"Wei Xi and I knew that Senior Brother had delicious dishes waiting for us," Qin Feng undid his hair and sat down while applying perfume on his hands. "The cooking skills of Piaoxiang Pavilion are indeed not as good as Senior Brother's."

Zhao Dazui tutted his words twice. "Just praise my senior brother's cooking skills. You make me sound like the same chef as you. I only cook this meal for Wei Xi."

Qin Feng slapped the back of his hand twice and said, "I'm going to eat. I won't talk anymore."

Zhao Dazui didn't bother to discuss the matter with Qin Feng. He picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up some mixed stir-fries for Wei Xi.

Wei Xi: Why, do I look malnourished?

But Wei Xi ate the dishes that Zhao Dazui picked up obediently, and she didn't take many bites in Piaoxiang Pavilion: After all, with Zhao Dazui cooking for her, who would want to eat from the big pot in another canteen?
"Lian Gou? Is that your last name?" Zhao Dazui didn't eat anything, he started chatting with Lian Gou.

"Yes, it's a transliteration. The original meaning is desert." Lian Gouqie regretted it as soon as he smelled the food. He should not have eaten so much.

"Junior Brother Lian Gou, thanks to you for taking care of these two," Zhao Dazui said. "Wei Xi is worried and weak, and Qin Feng is a stubborn donkey. You must have put in a lot of effort in the secret realm."

Qin Feng's chopsticks were nearly broken, but Wei Xi was busy eating - on the way back, the headmaster lost a lot of money by diving into the wine vat in the inn, so the food was naturally not good.

"Wei Xi and Qin Feng should take better care of me," Lian Gouye said sincerely, remembering Wei Xi's decisiveness and Qin Feng's excellent archery. "Besides, I've joined the Qingcheng Sect now, so we'll all be fellow disciples from now on." "That's good, I heard that Sect Leader Tuoba thought it would be beneficial for the three of you to practice together," Zhao Dazui recalled what the Sect Leader had said at the dinner table when he strongly supported Lian Gouye's joining the sect. "Originally, I was planning to drag Lin Yinghao along with them to this year's training."

Wei Xi stopped eating, but Zhao Dazui had already blurted out, "Why don't you team up with Qin Feng and Wei Xi?"

"What experience?" Qin Feng asked puzzledly.

"It's the Qingcheng Sect's annual training, and cultivators below the Jindan stage are required to participate," Zhao Dazui explained.

"So basically all the members of Qingcheng Sect have to participate?" Qin Feng thought of Qingcheng Sect's amazing talent pool and expressed his thoughts.

"The first batch has already returned, just when you went to Baoxiang City."

"What are they doing? Are they going to the secret realm too?" Wei Xi asked. After Lingyin finished conveying the message, she ran to Wei Xi's dish to drink water.

"Good Junior Sister, what are you dreaming of!" Zhao Dazui said with a smile, "Secret realms are hard to come by, but you're lucky this time. You've entered a secret realm less than a year after joining."

"This is to send disciples out into the mortal world to train. There are tasks for you to complete. Are you all currently... training your Qi?"

Zhao Dazui looked at Lian Gouqie, who nodded and confirmed his Qi training skills.

"The missions are not difficult. They usually involve helping with some physical labor. You won't encounter any minor monsters or evil spirits."

"When I was in Huaixin Sect, I only knew that disciples could take on missions," Qin Feng looked at Zhao Dazui suspiciously. "Why are disciples forced to undergo training in Qingcheng Sect?"

"Of course, the Qingcheng Sect wants its disciples to understand the sufferings of the common people, sharpen their character, and dedicate their limited youth to infinite dedication."

"Because the sect is poor, right?" Qin Feng seemed to be seeking confirmation.

"Because we are poor." Zhao Dazui changed his words without hesitation.

Lian Gouqie was stunned. Are the conditions in Qingcheng Sect so harsh?
Wei Xi did see something deeper through the poverty of the Qingcheng Sect.

During the trip to Baoxiang City, the elders of Wanjian Sect, Zhengxin Sect, Wanfa Sect and the magic leader of Qingcheng Sect formed a sharp contrast.

The number of disciples entering the secret realm also varies greatly.

It can be said that the overall quality of the Qingcheng Sect, from the leader and elders to the disciples, is far inferior to that of other sects.

In this case, according to the Qingcheng Sect's principle of preserving life, it would be better to let disciples have more contact with the secular world and spend less time on useless asceticism.

If I can help others, it won’t be a waste of my life as a monk.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi shook his head. Maybe he just didn't have enough money, so he sent his disciples down the mountain to fend for themselves for two months to reduce the burden.

"What's the mission this time?" Wei Xi ruined the atmosphere of kissing you, "You can't let us just randomly come up with a mission like headless flies, right?"

"Senior Sister Xie is making arrangements," Zhao Dazui replied, "but you're not in this batch. Senior Sister means that since you've just returned, stay in the sect for two months and then we'll make arrangements."

Zhao Dazui looked at the splint on Wei Xi's right arm and said, "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Even though you're a cultivator now, you should wait until the bone heals."

Wei Xi shook his right arm and asked, "Are we the next batch?"

Zhao Dazui nodded in agreement.

Wei Xi calculated the time and said, "The flood season will be approaching soon..."

Lian Gouyu couldn't stand the word "water" and subconsciously shrank his shoulders.

"You're really smart," Zhao Dazui exclaimed. "Senior Sister Xie said that before the flood season, all regions need to inspect and reinforce levees, and they're short on manpower. A cultivator could fill in."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your kindness," Qin Feng said dryly, "but I've never done any physical work."

Zhao Dazui could tell from Qin Feng's usual behavior, "Let Wei Xi teach you, and Lian Gouyue," Zhao Dazui patted Lian Gouyue's shoulder, "You are not bad at work, young man."

Lian Gouwei grew up in the Western Regions. He claimed that he made a living by his skills, but he had never done work like reinforcing a dam, so he just agreed to the job casually.

"But why do you look paler than the two injured ones?" Only then did Zhao Dazui see clearly that Lian Gou's face was not rosy at all.

"This is my first time in Northern Frontier," Lian Gou added, thinking of the spring scene outside with blooming flowers. "I even bled a little in Weishuang Palace just now."

"You'll get used to it. It's just the little blood you put into making a life card. It's not that serious."

Wei Xi quickly pretended to clean the bottom of the plate.

Lian Gouqie frowned, "Life card?"

"You were a casual cultivator before," Zhao Dazui slapped his forehead, "The life plate is used to track the disciples of the sect. After all, there are always disciples who get into trouble. The life plate can tell you whether they are alive or dead, and their location."

"So," Lian Gou's gaze passed over Zhao Dazui, and Wei Xi smiled brightly, "So everyone who joins the sect knows this?"

"Yes, Wei Xi and the others' life tablets are all kept in Feng'an Hall.
