Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 204 Trial 8
Unable to use his spiritual power, Qin Feng made up his mind to use brute force to fight with the owner of the winery.

Qin Feng was about to grab his opponent's wrist and throw him over his shoulder when a package was stuffed into his arms.

When she looked distractedly, she saw Wei Xi sneaking into the winery and shaking his head at her.

Strangely enough, after the cloth bag was received, the winery's proprietress returned to normal. She no longer looked as scary as before and she loosened her hands very naturally.

"Oh, how come this wine jar is broken?" The proprietress looked at the broken pottery pieces under her feet with pain, as if she had never had a conflict with Qin Feng.

Not only the proprietress, but also the passers-by with pale faces within Wei Xi's sight returned to normal and continued to do their own things.

"Where did these two brats come from! They knocked over my wine!" The proprietress reached out to twist Wei Xi's ear, but was blocked by Qin Feng.

"It was an unintentional mistake, why did you hit her?"

"That's easy for you to say! I'm a small business. If you spill this jar of wine, three days of drinking will be wasted!" The proprietress looked at Wei Qin and the others with disdain and held out her hand. "Since you're speaking for her, can you afford to pay for it?"

The two men just wanted to get away quickly, but didn't want to show off their wealth and cause trouble, so they pretended to have a quarrel with the proprietress and finally paid a tael of silver to settle the matter.

"What's going on?" Qin Feng crushed the sound insulation after entering the alley. "Aren't they human?"

"I don't know either," Wei Xi whispered, "but we should still be in the trial field. It's just... too weird..."

"Can you still use your spiritual power?" Qin Feng asked anxiously, "I suddenly couldn't use my spiritual power just now, and it's the same now!"

"I used the Object-Seeking Technique to find you. If your strength is getting stronger and you're being restricted, we need to find Wang Xin to verify it."

"Were you already at the winery when you came in?" Wei Xi wanted to find a pattern in the location.

"After I dropped my bag, I was teleported directly to the backyard of the winery. I also changed my clothes. The proprietress said I was her apprentice. I couldn't figure out the situation, so I thought of observing for a while, until I heard your voice..."

Wei Xi began to rub her fingers again. It was obvious that her situation was different from Qin Feng's. You know, she was "free" when she came in, but just now, when Qin Feng wanted to leave the winery, he attracted "people" from half the street to stop him.

What was stuffed into Qin Feng's pocket was naturally the stuff in the bag. This was also the solution Wei Xi came up with in a hurry.

"Whoever designed the trial field is truly insidious," Wei Xi said admiringly. "You can't enter the trial field without leaving your belongings behind, and if you do, you don't know what troubles will arise. Everything is interconnected, and it's extremely vicious."

"Those people just said you were from the winery. It seems these things are used for identification. If you don't have an identity... I don't know what kind of trouble you'll get into later..."

Among the information Zheng Duo mentioned, the one about not getting lost was probably the fog in the forest, and there were also traces of moonlight. However, there was no sign of the first one, "Don't talk too much."

Now with these obviously strange "people" appearing, plus the unknown status of the Qing-Swallowing Beast in the trial field, Wei Xi felt pressured.

"The most urgent thing is to find Wang Xin," Qin Feng slammed his palm, "after all, we are from the same school!"

If the speculation is correct, Wang Xin's situation would not be very dangerous and he would probably be able to move freely.

Wei Xi was inclined to find a place to stay first. After all, it was obviously past noon here, and there was not much time left for the two of them.

The two of them didn't dare to separate in this strange town, so they could only walk along the main street together, looking for people and places. This made Wei Xi discover something strange: there was no inn in this town.

Judging from the wares hawked along the streets, the city was not affluent. Most of the people walking around wore coarse clothes, few of which were unmended, indicating that the city's population was not wealthy.

This city was the "masterpiece" of a monk who had been dead for who knows how many years. Taking this into consideration, Wei Xi concluded that the town was not very large.

But the details of the town were very realistic. There were clinics, drug stores, restaurants, tea houses along the streets... but there was no inn, which made Wei Xi feel confused.

From the moment they entered the trial field, every detail led them towards the planned action. Wei Xi now had to be suspicious.

Fortunately, the two of them found Senior Brother Wang Xin in a wonton shop after a while. When the latter saw the two junior sisters, his eyes lit up. He calmly finished his wontons and went around to the back of the shop to meet the two junior sisters.

"Are you two okay?" Wang Xin was concerned about his two junior sisters, and showed concern as soon as he opened his mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief after getting a positive answer.

Qin Feng told Wang Xin about his experience as Wei Xi had instructed, and they began to sort out the details of what had happened after they separated.

"I can't mobilize my spiritual power anymore," Wang Xin said calmly. "It seems the trial field has set some restrictions."

Both foundation-building cultivators are unable to use spiritual power, but Wei Xi, a Qi-refining cultivator, has unprecedentedly become the team's combat output. This is truly cause for celebration!
"What does Wei Xi think?" Wang Xin placed his hopes on his smart junior sister. This was the consensus of all those who had shared hardships with Wei Xi.

"The biggest threat right now isn't necessarily these people in the city," Wei Xi pointed at the setting sun. "The sun sets and the moon rises. If we can't find a place to stay, we'll inevitably face the unknown threat of the moon."

In fact, Wei Xi had some vague thoughts about the "Sleeping Moonlight" in his mind. The disciple of Zhenhai Sect in Feng Xiaotian's story should have died in this incident.

However, this matter still needs to be kept secret for Feng Xiaotian, after all, it involves the privacy of the Feng family.

"My two junior sisters, I have an idea. The things in the bundle are very important. Could it be that the key is the key to our survival through the night?"

"Key?" Qin Feng looked puzzled. "We don't know which door this key corresponds to. Do we have to try them one by one?"

Although this city is not big, it has many houses. If you try to go through them one by one, I am afraid that your bones will be rotted away long ago, not to mention that there are "people" of unknown strength watching you covetously.

"We already have the clue. The mask should be an identification... Maybe the key can really help us open the door..."

The three of them found a nearby courtyard and climbed in. After confirming that no one was in the courtyard, Wei Xi inserted his key into the side room but did not open it.

Wei Xi was not discouraged and tried the key again. Unexpectedly, he opened the door to the main house.

The door of the main house was like a gaping bloody mouth, so dark that it seemed to want to swallow the two of them.

Wang Xin took the lead and entered the house holding a candle. After confirming that there was no danger for the time being, he called his two junior sisters in.

The house is filled with furniture that an ordinary family needs. It is not valuable, but the main feature is its authenticity.

After entering the main house, Wei Xi and the other two were finally able to catch their breath for a while, while the other cultivators in the trial field also had their own situations.
