Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 114 Family letters are worth tens of thousands of gold

Lian Gouqie was pulled over, holding a piece of light blue satin in his hand.

".What's going on?" Lian Gou asked in confusion.

"Help me try on some cotton clothes."

After saying that, Wei Xi threw a cotton-padded jacket to Lian Gouyu, who grabbed it and said, "Are cotton-padded jackets sold in Northern Xinjiang this month?"

The cotton jacket Lian Goulue put on was two sizes too big for him. Wei Xi nodded. An adult man was about the same size.

Wei Xi took three sets of cotton clothes and three pieces of cloth, and Qin Feng helped her hold the Qiankun bag and stuff them in.

Lian Gouyu guessed that Wei Xi was buying clothes for her family, so she said, "I tried them all on in the same size, so why did you buy three identical sets?"

"You are about the same size as my brother." Wei Xi was using a cotton coat to fill the gaps between the cloth.

"Ah? Then why does your brother buy clothes of such size?" Qin Feng was also quite puzzled.

Wei Xi didn't even glance at the two gentlemen. While struggling with the Qiankun bag, he explained, "The clothes can be altered when they're too big, and they can use the extra cotton to make shoes."

"Also, I've grown a bit since joining the sect, so my larger clothes will last me a few years."

Of course, Wei Xi thought of Wei Dong, who was bloated with hunger when he left home, and thought that he should still be alive.

Qin Feng and Lian Gouwei then realized that these two people didn't sew much, so naturally they wouldn't think about it in this way.

The three of them strolled around the night market for an hour. Lian Gouqie had spent most of the silver he had on him, and he had no more money left, so he returned to the inn.

Lian Gouqie and Qin Feng were trying hard to stuff the bunch of fancy things into the Qiankun bag.

Wei Xi listened to their quarrel while taking apart one of the cotton-padded jackets.

Just now at the night market, Wei Xi bought some commonly used tinder and ropes. Besides the fact that she always felt uneasy, she also wanted to break some of the silver she had.

The silver that Zhuang Yifeng gave them was five taels of official silver, which was convenient for monks to use, but it was not often used in Tianshui Village, and it was a bit conspicuous and would bring trouble to their parents.

Wei Xi gathered up the silver he had and planned to sew thirty taels of silver into his cotton-padded jacket.

Anyway, once the cotton-padded jacket arrives home, my mother will always have it altered for size.

"Why did you buy such a thing?" Qin Feng's desperate voice came over.

"Such a big pumpkin! This is the first time I've seen one in my life. I'll take it back and ask Zhao Dazui to cook it. Let's try it."

Wei Xi was not disturbed at all. He hid a handful of silver coins in the cotton, threaded the needle and began to sew.

"This thing is so big, how can I possibly bring it back? Besides, the Qiankun bag can't keep food from spoiling. It would have rotted by the time we got to Yizhangyuan."

Wei Xi swallowed back the words that pumpkin could be stored for a long time without spoiling.

Lian Gouqie said proudly, "I just bought a talisman specifically for this."

".How much did you spend on this talisman?"

Wei Xi bit off the thread with an expressionless face.

"Ten taels of silver! That person said this talisman was drawn by a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and it has a freezing effect. I guess I got a bargain."

The room fell silent, and Lingyin gradually stopped combing her feathers.

".Wei Xi, tell him how much we spent on the talisman?"

"A Clear Sound Talisman costs two high-grade spirit stones, and a Double Sound Talisman costs five high-grade spirit stones," Wei Xi immediately reported without hesitation. "I originally wanted to buy the Absolute Water Talisman, but it costs ten high-grade spirit stones, so I couldn't bear to buy it."

"You've been cheated. The talisman is not that cheap." Wei Xi was not surprised at all - Lian Gou Xie even took the paper duck back.

After being shocked, Lian Gouqie tried to struggle, "This was painted by a foundation-building cultivator. It's not that expensive."

"Wei Xi just mentioned the offer from the Qingcheng Sect," Qin Feng said, cutting off all the other party's hopes. "As far as I know, we only have one Foundation Establishment talisman cultivator, and he's almost seventy years old."

The rest of Wei Xi's cotton-padded jacket transformation was completed amid Lian Gou's regretful mumbling.

The midnight snack was grilled pumpkin, but someone who didn't believe in evil still activated the talisman.

When Lian Gouqie returned to his room to sleep, Wei Qin and others could no longer sense his trust in the world.

Wei Xi packed his cotton coat and cloth together, tied it up with a rope, washed his hands and feet, and sat on the kang to write a letter.

It was rare for Qin Feng to be absent-minded while meditating.

Lingyin squatted under the oil lamp, staring at the rope on Wei Xi's brush.

People say that the closer you are to home, the more you feel homesick. Wei Xi has been away from home for almost a year, and now he just wants to write a letter home, but he doesn't know how to start.

After dipping the ink several times, Wei Xi finally wrote the first sentence.

Because of his laziness and lack of concentration, Wei Xi's grades in Wen Dao Hall were only average. However, his handwriting was pretty good among his classmates due to his previous speech difficulties. At least it was neat and easy to read, with few mistakes.

In the letter, Wei Xi first said that he was now in a sect in the northern border, and his food, clothing, housing and other needs were all taken care of by the sect. He also met two new friends, the one with whom he had a better relationship was called Qin Feng.

She also wrote that the sect taught them how to read and write, as well as how to practice. The people in the sect were very kind to her. She had even followed the sect leader to Baoxiang City and was now helping to repair the dam in Suzhou. Her parents didn't have to worry about her.

Finally, Wei Xi asked his parents to take care of their health, and he brought some cloth and three sets of cotton clothes along with the letter.

The letter was not long. Wei Xi read it through and found it dry. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but she didn't know what to write.

In the end, Wei Xi didn't want to rewrite it - she had been mute for so long, and it was already very good that she could write such a letter, so she simply sealed the letter.

Wei Xi put on his slippers and was about to put the letter into the big bundle.

"Xiao Xi," Qin Feng, who had almost finished his evening class, finally couldn't help but speak, "You know the rules, right?"

How could Qin Feng talk while practicing? Wei Xi's heart was filled with alarm, and he had indeed waited for a big move.

"Those who practice Taoism must cut off their worldly ties, and while their bodies are in the mortal world, their minds must wander beyond it." Wei Xi recited the first sentence of all the basic exercises without exception.

"I know what you mean," Wei Xi took out a purse he bought at the night market, put some copper coins in it, and stuffed it into his bag along with the letter. "It's just that it's unlikely that I'll ever reach the point of disrupting the order between immortals and mortals."

"My mother hopes I'm safe," Wei Xi retied the bundle and tied a knot tightly. "If I go and never come back, they'll be worried day and night."

"It's not certain about cultivating immortality," Qin Feng jumped off the kang and approached Wei Xi. "If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to Baoxiang City and Tangkou Town."

"You are smart and strong. Even Master Han said that you can achieve great things in the cultivation of immortals."

Wei Xi looked skeptical, she had never heard Master Han say this.

"I am considered a disciple of Master Han," Qin Feng patted Wei Xi's head, "I heard what she said in private!"

"In short, contacting your family is one thing," Qin Feng tapped Wei Xi's forehead, "and being mindful of propriety is another."

"I know." Wei Xi stuck a talisman on the bundle, then pricked his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood on it. "Go and meditate quickly. The sect competition will be difficult if you rely on me."

　Wei Xi: It’s enough as long as it’s sufficient!
