Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 138 Sect Competition 6
Since there were only three Dongyi sects left, Zheng Duo asked Wei Xi to go back and rest.

Wei Xi didn't hesitate at all. He thanked him and ran towards the cliff.

It’s no wonder that Wei Xi didn’t put in any effort to show her respect. She was thinking about the note now.

After all, he really made a deal with Li Chun, so he had to find a way no matter how difficult it was.

Wei Xi had no idea what to do on the stage for the time being, but she could try her best to deal with the exam.

Back in the courtyard, most of the sect's disciples were out. Qin Feng was practicing swordplay in the courtyard, while Lian Gou Xie was battling a bunch of talismans.

Wei Xi called the two into the house, his hands still rummaging in his Qiankun bag.

There weren't many disciples from the Qingcheng Sect, so Wei and Qin still shared a room.

"What's going on?" Lian Gou asked Wei Xi as he closed the door and threw away the Qingyin note.

Wei Xi took out the notes that Senior Sister Xie had given her when they were tutoring at Wen Dao Hall.

"There's a written test in the sect competition," Wei Xi patted the thick stack of notes on the table, "You need to study hard."

"When did you start caring about this?" Lian Gouqie couldn't help but ask, recalling Wei Xi's usual lazy and uninterested appearance in cultivation.

"Li Chun, he sent me news today."

These words were obviously said to Qin Feng.

"Who? What's the news?" Lian Gouqie really didn't know what had happened and looked confused.

Qin Feng had always been thinking about this matter, and he knew that the reward agreed upon before would definitely appear at the sect competition.

But I didn’t expect that just two days after I arrived at Zhenhai Sect, Li Chun’s request came like wings.

"What did he say?"

Wei Xi frowned and said to Qin Feng, "The note only said that we were in the top 30 in this sect competition, nothing more."

"You two," Lian Gouqie raised his arm to try to attract the other party's attention, "could you please explain what is going on?"

"...Do you remember that after leaving Tangkou Town, we stayed in Sucheng for two days?"

Lian Goujie narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then replied to Qin Feng with a "hmm".

Qin Feng said stubbornly, "You were feeling unwell at the time, so you stayed at the inn to rest. Wei Xi and I went outside to get some information..."

Seeing Qin Feng's embarrassment, Wei Xi took the initiative to take over the conversation and briefly told him the whole story of their transaction with Li Chun.

"...So," Lian Gouyu tried to understand the two men's train of thought after hearing the story, "you two made a deal with him, waived the bill for 500 high-grade spirit stones, and now you want to work for him?"

Wei Xi nodded, and Qin Feng also nodded slowly after hesitating.

Even Gou Xie was so angry that he almost laughed, "Have you seen the news?"

Not really.

Seeing that the two did not answer, Lian Gou, who grew up in the city, said with grief: "Qin Feng is fine, he didn't pay tens of thousands of dollars on the spot to buy that thing, but why Wei Xi..."

"I don't think this is reliable. He posted the news, but you didn't even have a contract. It was a purely verbal transaction."

"Now another note has been passed over," Lian Gouyu said, no longer smiling, and thinking seriously for once, "We'd better be careful."

Wei Xi herself felt a bit impulsive when she thought about it. However, she was frightened by the events of Tangkou Town and Hong Xian, so she resorted to this desperate measure as a last resort.

"We had already agreed," Qin Feng said, breathless for once, "I'm strong enough to compete in the sect competition."

"It's just..." Qin Feng felt overwhelmed at the thought of the written test. "The written test is really difficult. I can only look at the paintings now." The three of them fell into a misconception, thinking that according to the cultural level of the immortal cultivation world, the sect competition was just a fight.

I never thought that the sect competition would have a written test. It's really a loophole.

"Qin Feng has the highest cultivation level among the three of us. If she fails at the written test, her deal with Li Chun will be terminated."

After hearing what Lian Gouqie said, Wei Xi thought of something.

"Besides the sects that are part of the alliance," Wei Xi said while pondering, "those who participate in the sect competition also include aristocratic families and some forces that do not value cultivation."

"This paper crane can find me accurately. Are people from Fengyu Villa here too?"

Wei Ximan only helped for more than a day, and the people he received were all from the sects that arrived late. He really didn't know whether Fengyu Villa had sent anyone over.

"The military scouts are keeping an eye on the enemy's every move, even if there's a temporary truce," Qin Feng replied. "Fengyu Villa is in the intelligence business. For the sheer cash, they'll definitely send someone out for situations like this."

Wei Xi knew that with his own cultivation level, he wanted to make it into the top 30 of this sect competition, unless smoke began to rise from the ancestral tomb of the old Wei family in Tianshui Village.

Lian Gou'e's words just now reminded Wei Xi: after all, he and Li Chun had not signed a contract. If he discussed with him and made up for the spirit stones, there might be room for turning the situation around.

Wei Xi is not a person who keeps his word, so he will naturally try other ways.

When this idea was put forward, Qin Feng naturally supported it.

But Lian Gouyu reminded him, "Don't take this too lightly. I may not know about other things, but I do know a little bit about how shrewd these businessmen are."

"Since he took the initiative to propose this deal, it means that the spirit stones may not be that important."

"Besides, Li Chun's subordinates have cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage, not to mention the Divine Consciousness. Why did he choose you two, who were still in the Qi Refining stage at the time? Wei Xi, I don't believe you haven't had any suspicions about this."

Wei Xi did have her doubts, but after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to make the deal.

However, Lian Gou's words also reminded the two of them not to have too high expectations.

The three of them prepared themselves mentally, and Wei Xi counted the rewards she had received in the past two days. Excluding a few gems and pills that could not be converted into cash for the time being, plus the spirit stones she brought, there were a total of 553 high-grade spirit stones.

It turns out that the Qingcheng Sect is the only one that is poor.

Wei Xi closed his eyes sadly when he thought that if this happened, he would become a pauper again.

However, Wei Xi took good care of himself. He thought that if he lost the spirit stones, he could earn more and deal with the problem first.

The three of them went out, and Wei Xi led the two to the arena that was being set up and found the Zhenhai Sect disciple who had done reception work with him.

This Taoist friend pointed out to Wei Xi where the people of Fengyu Villa lived.

Unlike the residences of the Qingcheng Sect and other sects, the people of Fengyu Villa and some of the noble families who came to watch the competition lived in the inner part of the Zhenhai Sect.

Wei Xi made up an excuse to fool them, and the three of them went to their residence in Fengyu Villa.

Wei Xi didn't even think of an excuse and took his two little brothers for a walk outside the courtyard.

Fengyu Villa is indeed an intelligence agency. Before Wei Xi started the second round, he saw Li Chun walking out with a peaceful smile on his face.

"Friend Wei, Friend Qin," Li Chun said with a forced smile, "It's been a while. What brings you two here?"

　Even though Wei Xi is young and inexperienced, he still has unexpected things in his mind. This chapter is about the method of victory through experience!
　　Judging from the time everyone was interacting, some of them went to bed a little late, so everyone should still pay attention to rest!
