Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 201 Trial 5
"Everyone, once you enter the area covered by the fog, you have entered the trial field."

The Zhenhai Sect elder pointed to the forest behind him and said, "The way to pass this trial is to survive for fifteen days. After fifteen days, the exit of the trial ground will reopen."

"Everyone, don't get lost in the trial field. Once you get lost, you'll never be able to come back!"

Wei Xi paused, her fingers pausing as she lifted the bundle with a slight strain. The man had mentioned a time limit, and the location he'd mentioned corroborated the information she'd received.

But Wei Xi always felt that something was wrong. The advice of several acquaintances kept going around in her ears, making her dizzy and confused.

Wei Xi shook his head and told himself not to let preconceived ideas interfere with his thinking. Everything should be based on facts.

After the Zhenhai Sect elder finished speaking, he rode away on his sword, as if he believed that everyone would voluntarily enter the trial field.

Wei Xi immediately squatted down and unpacked the bundle. The monks around him were somewhat surprised, and some even thought Wei Xi was petty and showed sarcasm on their faces.

Wei Xi didn't care about that. She spread out the blue bundle. There weren't many things inside: two white jade medicine bottles with notes attached to them, a bundle of fire starters, a ball of bulging cloth and a key.

"...Why is it opened now?" Qin Feng asked in a low voice, with her bag on her shoulder.

Wei Xi took a quick look, reached out and picked up the piece of cloth, without unraveling it, just squeezed it.

It's very hard and feels a bit curved, like a board of some material.

Wei Xi put the bundle away again and said, "I feel uneasy. I'll open it and take a look to put my mind at ease."

"Junior sister, you are very attentive," Wang Xin admired Wei Xi's behavior. "Wait a moment, calm down and let's compare the two things."

There are two kinds of people in the Qingcheng Sect. One is the immortal cultivator represented by the young Hu Lai and the old sect leader, and the other is the reliable talent like Senior Sister Xie.

Obviously, Senior Brother Wang Xin was the latter. He keenly sensed the suspicion behind Wei Xi's actions and approved of this cautious behavior.

"My fellow Daoists," the man in the gorgeous robe who had just lost face threw his bag to the cowering boy behind him, "I am Wan Gu Ming of the Wan Family of Zhongzhou. It is a fate that I have come to the trial field with you all. I hope you will forgive me if I have done anything wrong!"

Wan Guming said "I am your subordinate", but his tone was a bit arrogant, and his expression was a mixture of aggrieved and amiable, which was annoying no matter how you looked at him.

There were only forty people on the field. Seeing that no one responded, Wan Guming continued, "Fellow Daoists, should we enter the trial field together? After all, the elder's words implied that the trial field was somewhat dangerous..."

Before Wan Guming could finish his speech, a dozen or so disciples of the Wanjian Sect had already consciously divided themselves into three groups, preparing to enter the trial field from several different directions.

There were several colorful figures hanging behind the black robes of Wanjian Sect. These monks had obviously decided to cling to the thick and strong thighs of Wanjian Sect.

Other monks formed teams one after another. Even if they had no fellow disciples, they would look for monks who were familiar with the sect to form a team.

"Thanks to my two junior sisters who were shortlisted this year, otherwise it would be difficult for me to face the trial alone without making mistakes." Wang Xin has always been considerate, and his words make people feel at ease.

Of course, consideration is limited. The three of them walked past Wan Guming without even glancing at him.

Yun Qing, who was standing next to Lei Zhe, laughed out loud, "Some people are really funny. Instead of being good people with connections, they act like they are putting on airs here. I wonder how much face the elders in their family have to lose. It's really funny!" Wan Guming looked at Yun Qing's smiling face, and thought of Yun's father's important position in the court. He swallowed his breath, threw down a sentence "A good man does not fight with a woman", and hurried away with his people.

The remaining people also left one after another. When only Yun Lei and Lei were left, Lei Zhe rubbed his temples and said gently, "Why are you bullying him?"

"No matter how unwilling we are, the ten of us were bundled in here together." Yun Qing rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. "He jumped out and made a fool of himself. Shouldn't anyone say a few words to him?"

"The cultivators in the sect are always arrogant. They fought hard to get the quota, but Jucheng easily got ten of them. Anyone would be indignant." Lei Zhe's face was solemn, but his tone was very gentle.

"You're just unlucky! You ran into Shen Fu from the Wanjian Sect, and that's why you weren't allowed to compete in the ring." Yun Qing was very emotional, puffing out her cheeks. "Anyway, I just can't stand his 'do what I want' attitude!"

"You're so clueless, you just think you're in Jucheng," Yun Qing said, smiling brightly at her beloved. "Everyone is afraid of his favored aunt, the Imperial Concubine."

After saying that, Yun Qing started to act coquettishly again, "You haven't been back to Jucheng for many years, so I'm afraid you don't know that the Wan family has a Wan Guifei, who is becoming more and more crazy..."

……

Wei Xi didn't know what was happening over there with Yun Qing. At the time, she was just following her senior brother's steps through the fog. To be safe, the three of them didn't use any lighting tools, so some of them were a little slow.

It took a long time for the thick fog in front of them to dissipate. The three of them were in an unnamed forest. There was no one else around, and it was so quiet that they could hear the sound of a pin drop.

"We should be at the outskirts of the trial grounds," Wang Xin looked around, subtly protecting his two junior sisters within range of his spell. "Why... is it so quiet?"

Not only Wang Xin realized this, but Wei Qin and the others also noticed something strange about their surroundings. It was truly strange that in such a vast forest, there wasn't a single bird call or sound of running water.

"Old hunters always say that when there's something in the woods, weaker animals will avoid it," Wei Xixu pointed a few times. "That might be the case right now..."

"But it should be safe for now," Wei Xi said as he took out the crossbow from his Qiankun bag. "Even if something wants to attack, it's so quiet around here that we can find it earlier."

Before setting off again, Qin Feng and Wang Xin opened their bags, checked the supplies inside, and confirmed that everyone received the same supplies.

Now that he had more time, Qin Feng opened his cloth ball, revealing a bronze mask wrapped inside.

"What are these things?" Qin Feng couldn't help but complain: "I don't think any of them are useful!"

Wei Xi put the medicine bottles back. The instructions on the two bottles were the same as those in her bag - vaguely saying that they might be useful.

Compared to the mask of unknown use, these two bottles of medicine are obviously more able to remind people of the difficulty of the trial.

The three of them packed their bags and began looking for a place to stay related to the trial. Qin Feng and Wang Xin took turns leading the way, while Wei Xi, who was familiar with the mountains and forests, drew a simple map.

After walking for half an hour, Wei Xi stared at the sketch in his hand, raised his hand and shot an arrow into the depths of the forest.

　Thanks to everyone's support, the number of Zhibei's book friends has exceeded 5,000, and the number of collections has exceeded 2,000!
　　If Wei Xi works harder, tomorrow with greatly increased strength is not a dream!
