Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 95 Xu Family
When Wei Xi woke up, the rain outside had stopped.

Before she could come to her senses, she saw someone sitting beside the bed.

Of course she didn't know this person. In fact, Wei Xi didn't even know how she left the cave.

Wei Xi, who had just woken up and was acting entirely on instinct, immediately reached for the dagger.

Empty, her arms were empty.

Wei Xi's hair stood on end and he almost jumped out of bed.

"Are you looking for this, fellow Daoist?" The man handed Wei Xi's Qiankun bag to him.

Wei Xi looked at the skinny middle-aged man suspiciously. He looked young, but had a funny mustache.

As if anticipating Wei Xi's vigilance, the man said gently, "My name is Xu Xiangyang. I'm a cultivator from the Suzhou government office. I'm a disciple of the Ding Xin Sect. I'm here to capture a Hu spies."

Dingxin Sect? Wei Xi knew this sect, which cultivated medicine and alchemy practitioners. Feng Xiaotian was the child of a Dingxin Sect elder, sent to the Wanfa Sect to practice. Wei Xi was still thinking about the money he owed Feng Xiaotian for medicine.

Wei Xi took back her Qiankun bag. She didn't know the other party's intentions, so she didn't dare to speak carelessly. Besides, she only knew how to argue with Qin Feng in the cave, and in the end, Qin Feng knocked her unconscious.

Wei Xi is now more concerned about where his two troublesome fellow disciples have gone!
Xu Xiangyang seemed to be able to read minds. "Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Lian Gou are both fine. Fellow Daoist Lian Gou was injured and is recuperating. Fellow Daoist Qin has been guarding you and was just called in for questioning by Zhuang Yi."

Although he had never seen the Zhuang Yi he was talking about, Wei Xi was still relieved: he didn't expect the Suzhou government to act so quickly.

The cramming teaching method carried out by Master Han in Wendao Hall was quite effective. At least Wei Xi, who had taken a make-up exam once, knew that some cultivators would serve the court.

Let's start from the beginning. Not all cultivators want to ascend to heaven, like Wei Xi who just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death.

Most of the cultivators were still children when they were recruited into the sect. Some, like Wei Xi, were recruited to survive, while others, like Qin Feng, lost both parents. When they entered the world of immortal cultivation, they may have thought that they had a bright future, but most of them recognized themselves clearly after being beaten by reality, so that cultivating immortality became more like a way to make a living.

In today's world, cultivators are in decline, and the northern border state of Ju threatens to sweep across the universe. The path to immortality is elusive, and the hurdle of forming a pill alone can kill most cultivators.

This makes leaving the sect and joining the State of Ju and other forces seem very promising.

After all, being a cultivator in the sect or working as a handyman is just a matter of making a living.

However, such cultivators are still a minority. It’s not that people in the world of immortal cultivation are putting on airs, but mainly because the various forces are not stupid: what’s the point of supporting a cultivator like you who practices Qi cultivation with high positions and generous salaries?

Therefore, cultivators who are able to leave the sect and serve other forces all have certain strengths, or at least have a special skill.

When Wei Xi was taking the make-up exam, there was actually a question: "Please tell me what you think about the fact that many children from immortal cultivation families are appointed as officials in the imperial court."

Speaking of this, Wei Xi's mind popped up Sun Ji's haggard face. Didn't Sun Ji say that the Xu family had sued Tangkou Town?

What's wrong with Xu Xiangyang? Wei Xi's eyelids began to twitch.

Xu Xiangyang didn't look like a lively person and seemed a little absent-minded. Wei Xi's little head was full of this man dragging him, but in reality, his accomplices were interrogating the iron-willed Qin Feng and the two trembling Lian Gou.

The more Wei Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was just trying to find a reason to call Qin Feng and Lian Gouhe over.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangyang, who seemed not particularly nosy, hesitated and said, "Don't panic, Daoist friend. Daoist Qin helped you change your clothes. Although your ribs are broken, fortunately, your lungs are not injured." "You are still young. If you take good care of these bones, they will naturally heal. By the way," Xu Xiangyang took the medicine from the table. Wei Xi saw that they were two black porcelain bottles. "This medicine is bone-glue pills. Although it won't heal bones immediately, the advantage is that it won't affect your bone growth later."

Wei Xi looked at the two bottles of medicine stuffed into his hands and thought that although he was not familiar with the person, he was very familiar with the medicine.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu," Lingyin fluttered her wings and flew down from the bed frame. "Is this medicine unique to the Dingxin Sect?"

Xu Xiangyang was quite surprised and replied, "This medicine is not difficult to make, but the raw materials are hard to find. Most of the people in Ding Xinmen are alchemists now, and there are not many medicine practitioners who can handle this."

"If Fellow Daoist Wei knows about this medicine, then it could only be one of Elder Feng's younger brothers who is about your age. I can't say for sure. I'm in Dingxin Sect, so I just focus on making medicine and don't talk much with others."

This reassured Wei Xi, but also made him more alert: what this man said didn't seem to be a lie, but why would he, a person who doesn't like to socialize, say so much to him?
Wei Xi was in great pain. She had a bit of a fierce temper, so she said bluntly, "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have anything to say? I'm just a newly initiated cultivator from the Qingcheng Sect. There's probably not much I can do to help you."

Fearing that Xu Xiangyang didn't know what she meant, Wei Xi deliberately reread the Qingcheng Sect, hoping that the "good reputation" of the Qingcheng Sect would make him less interested.

Wei Xi was really tired after encountering two fatal things in a row.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief, as if Wei Xi's directness had made him feel much more relaxed. Then his eyes turned red and he said in a trembling voice, "I'm a member of the Xu family."

As expected, Wei Xi thought, but she didn't expect Xu Xiangyang's next sentence to almost make her jaw drop.

"The cultivator that Cheng Er killed was my brother, Xu Xiangfang."

These words made Wei Xi's brain go on strike. She blinked her eyes and did not react even when Lingyin jumped on her head.

Was that beggar monk from the Xu family of Suzhou? Or was he the brother of this tearful man?

Finally, Lingyin pecked Weixi's scalp, and Weixi finally came to her senses. She grabbed Lingyin, who was trying to get her attention, and said, "I want to see him alive or dead. How can Fellow Daoist Xu be sure that the cultivator killed by Chengxianer is your brother?"

Wei Xi didn't mean to make things difficult for Xu Xiangyang, but he had never seen the corpse, and even Doctor Li and Sun Ji's descriptions did not mention the identity of the beggar monk.

Besides, although Wei Xi was a child from a poor family, he had heard that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Xu family of Suzhou was a family of immortal cultivators. How could such a good cultivator become a beggar and be harmed by Cheng Xiancheng, who was extremely vicious and had a limited brain?
Not to mention, by the time Wei Xi was knocked unconscious by Qin Feng, the skeleton in the Huan River had disappeared.

Xu Xiangyang fought back tears, "My brother is a Jindan cultivator. Thirteen years ago, he was ordered to investigate an unsolved case in Dongyi and has not returned for several months."

"I was training at Dingxin Sect at the time. I only learned that my brother was missing after receiving news from my clan brother. The Wanjian Sect disciple and an elder from the Tunhai Sect who were with him were also missing."

"The Wanjian Sect and the Tunhai Sect are both sects in Dongyi. When someone was lost in Dongyi, they naturally wanted to look for him, but they could never find any clues. I also wanted to go to Dongyi to look for him, but my family was concerned about the Wanjian Sect and the Tunhai Sect and kept obstructing me."

"Perhaps your brother is still in Dongyi." Wei Xi still couldn't connect Xu Xiangyang's brother with the remote town of Tangkou Town. After all, he disappeared in Dongyi. "It's a pity for the cultivator, but don't let him get distracted."

After saying this, Xu Xiangyang couldn't stop crying. He said to the bewildered Wei Xi, "Do you know how the gold sand in Tangkou Town turned into gold nuggets?"

　Wei Xi: I just want to get through retirement, don’t cry, brother!
　　In less than a hundred chapters, Wei Xi had already broken her forearm and two ribs. No wonder she just wanted to lie down.
