Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 57 Prelude
Qin Feng practiced so hard, but Wei Xi and Lian Gou Xie had no intention of following his example.

But some things still need to be dealt with. Wei Xi picked a good day, put down his big broom, and went to the back mountain to take Qin Feng away.

"What is this for?" Qin Feng didn't know what Wei Xi was going to do.

"Go find Master Han," Wei Xi replied, "I need to explain the matter of the box."

Qin Feng exclaimed, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it! Why didn't you call Lian Gouye?"

"As for Lian Gou's affairs, the fewer people who know about them, the better."

Wei Xi naturally didn't tell the whole story. Lingyin was a bird, so it was fine if Han Xianshi couldn't figure it out. But Lian Goujie was a living person. If he just flashed before Han Xianshi and nothing unusual happened, it would be a good thing. But if Han Xianshi discovered his identity, Lian Goujie would probably be dead.

Speaking of the box, Wei and Qin searched their Qiankun bag thoroughly but couldn't find it. Wei Xi then questioned Lian Gouyu, but he also couldn't find it.

The Wanglai Pavilion was still as deserted as before. After not seeing it for several months, Master Han had more white hair. Hearing someone coming, Master Han looked over.

"Disciple greets Master Han!" Wei and Qin respectfully performed the disciple's salute.

"Are you back?" Only when Wei Xi got closer did he see that the whites of Master Han's eyes were covered with red veins.

Wei Xi felt a rare sense of guilt: Immortal Master Han was still ill, and not only did he and Qin Feng fail to fulfill her instructions, but they also lost her things.

What's worse is that she has to be told that Shi Ke is dead.

After all, Master Han and Shi Ke are from the same school. Since Master Han can give Shi Ke something, the two should have some friendship.

Wei Xi fell silent again at this time, and Qin Feng recounted what had happened in Baoxiang City.

When talking about the death of Elder Shi Ke, Wei and Qin both went to steal a glance at Master Han.

Immortal Master Han looked normal. Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and then continued to talk about how they were involved in the secret realm.

"My disciple failed to do his job well and lost the immortal master's box." After Qin Feng said this, he lowered his head and waited for the immortal master Han's punishment. In such a situation, Wei Xi believed in the education Qin Feng received in his childhood, and she followed his example and made a gesture of apology.

Unexpectedly, Master Han sighed and said, "It's not your fault. The box is called Mingjing. It is a magical tool used to find the eye of the secret realm."

"Originally, that magical weapon might have been given by Shi Ke to his own disciples. I didn't expect that you two and that independent cultivator would use it. Let's consider it an opportunity for the three of you!"

The fish in Master Han's left eye swam weakly. Her physical condition was indeed not optimistic. Wei Qin and the others looked at her worriedly.

"I think you have also entered the eye of the secret realm. That secret realm may be a little difficult for you."

Thinking of what happened in the secret realm, Wei Xi subconsciously moved his left wrist.

Immortal Master Han took in all of Wei Xi's little movements. "These are all common things in the world of immortal cultivation. You two are both good children. I'm not interested in what you encountered in the secret realm."

Wei Xi saw the corners of Master Han's mouth slightly raised, and at that moment she understood Qin Feng and Lian Gou'e's strange reactions when they saw her pretending to smile.

It was like a ghost.

"Shi Ke," Han Xianshi's tone was vague, as if he was lost in the past, "a child from a fishing village in Xizhou. His arms were stronger than his legs, and he was dark-skinned. His talent was not outstanding in the Wanjian Sect."

"Luckily, he was hardworking. Back then, all the younger disciples in the sect were left to me, and he was the most diligent. While the other kids would finish their homework and go out to play, he would find a quiet place to continue practicing, saving himself the time of grabbing three steamed buns from the cafeteria in the morning."

"At that time, Xiao Luobin was still around. After finishing his lessons, he would run back to his home. The Wanjian Sect distributed winter clothes to its disciples. Shi Ke grew so fast that his wrists and ankles soon became visible. Luobin gave him a thumb-sized gemstone so he could exchange it for money to buy winter clothes."

"In the end, Shi Ke saved the money he exchanged for, saying he would find a chance to send it back to his hometown." "When he established his foundation and was able to go down the mountain, we learned that three years after he went up the mountain, a plague broke out in Xizhou. Almost everyone in his family died, except for his sister, who was said to have been sold to the Dongyi people."

Wei Xi was from Xizhou, and that place was indeed often hit by natural disasters, and the selling of children was not uncommon.

"At that time, Shi Ke always chose Dongyi as his mission, just to find his sister. Because of this, the sect leader punished him a lot. Xiao Luobin often helped him cover up, but unfortunately he died while trying to form a pill."

Han Xianshi paused at this point. The Wanglai Pavilion fell silent for a moment. Then Han Xianshi asked, "Have you investigated the matter of Shi Que?"

"The Wanjian Sect sent people, and the elders from several sects finally said yes, to seek revenge."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Han Xianshi frowned slightly, "Wei Xi, do you think so too?"

Wei Xi, who was named, looked confused. She only knew that she was not the murderer regarding Elder Shi Ke. Why did Master Han suddenly ask her?
However, in order to prevent Master Han from using his magical white eyes to spy on what he was doing in the secret realm, Wei Xi racked his brains and began to recall the story of Elder Shi Ke.

Wei Xi's understanding of the world of immortal cultivation was still limited, but Elder Shi Ke was indeed a high-ranking cultivator. Who could have killed him with a single blow? Wei Xi believed that someone like Han Xianshi could tell a person apart without even rolling their eyes. Han Xianshi described Elder Shi Ke as a rather honest cultivator. How could he have such a mortal enemy?
However, the Wanjian Sect, the authority in the world of immortal cultivation, only said that he died in a revenge killing. Wei Xi carefully chose to unify his statement with the Wanjian Sect.

"Disciple believes that Elder Shi must have died in a feud. However, given Elder Shi's personality, there aren't many people who would bear such a great grudge." Wei Xi said this to take into account the feelings of Master Han who was reminiscing about his junior brother.

After all, the atmosphere is already like this, the audience should still give some face.

Immortal Master Han was somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but she was truly exhausted. "Don't worry about the mirror. It can only be used once. By the way, who did the Ten Thousand Swords Sect send to deal with the Shi Ke issue?"

"Xiao Pingting," Wei Xi suddenly remembered that this was not the time for him and Qin Feng to chat, so he continued, "Elder Xiao, the Wanjian Sect sent her here."

"It's her," Han Xianshi was a little surprised, "it's hard for her."

Thinking of the competition for the position of elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that Qin Feng had told him, Wei Xi thought that it was indeed difficult for Xiao Pingting.

After all, finding out the truth about the death of one's former rival and handling the funeral at the same time is not an easy job no matter how you look at it.

Since Master Han did not pursue the matter, Wei Qin and the others felt relieved and began to prepare for the training in half a month.

In fact, it was mainly Wei Xi who prepared, and Lian Gou Xie drew the Qi training exercises for Qin Feng. He has now come to his senses and learned to slack off, which makes Qin Feng very dissatisfied. In his spare time, he watches Lian Gou Xie paint.

On Wei Xi's birthday, Qin Feng gave her a Qiankun bag. Because Wei Xi repeatedly emphasized not to give her too expensive gifts, Qin Feng could only empty the spiritual stones inside in front of her. Lian Gou Xie said that the powerful and wealthy are different. Miss Qin, are you willing to support a painter?

This Qiankun bag is naturally not as good as the one Qin Feng uses, and Wei Xi's can only hold half of her.

However, Wei Xi still felt quite sorry, after all, this thing must be very expensive. Qin Feng said that if Wei Xi hadn't lost her life, she would have solved the problem of her own cultivation.

Lian Gouqie: What am I in your eyes?
Wei Xi prepared three people's worth of medicine, ropes, clothes, dry food, water bags, and things like tinder. Since even hooks and tongs cannot touch water, she also prepared several umbrellas.

Afterwards, Wei Xi divided the remaining spirit stones into two parts. He used one part to buy some spiritual medicine seeds and planted them. He hired the impoverished Chen Shuangli to take care of them, and kept the other part for his own use.

After things were handled, the spells were practiced, and the supplies were prepared, the three of them went to receive the mission for Frost Palace.

Lian Gouyu stood before the Wind and Rain Mirror and read out the tasks assigned to the three people: "Issuer: Suzhou Prefecture Office; Task Level: Easy; Requirements: Qi Refining or above; Reward: Fifteen mid-grade spirit stones; Task Location: Tangkou Town."
