Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 218: West's Abacus
"Brother Wei, you're too kind," Shen Fu, who had been silent until then, said, "Junior Brother Xu has good intentions. I think you two just have some misunderstandings. The matter of the Qing-Swallowing Beast is a serious matter. Why don't we put aside our grudges for now and talk about it after the matter is resolved!"

The play has already come to this point, how could Wei Xi be willing to give up all his efforts?

She puffed out her cheeks, her eyes wide. "How can I know what kind of heart this guy has? My scalp hurts just looking at him. How can I trust him with my back?"

Shen Fu smiled and said, "We all know Junior Sister Wei's abilities. In this situation, I'm afraid she's indispensable. How can we let her gather information alone?"

Is there such a good thing? Hearing the word "single", Wei Xi's eyes lit up. "Someone needs to go and investigate. Right now, the Qi Palaces of all Taoists are locked, and they can't use any spiritual power at all."

"Why don't I go ahead and Fellow Daoist Xu stay where he is? That way, we can have the best of both worlds. As for Senior Sister Shen's concern, I understand. Let Qin Feng go with me! It just so happens that she knows the mountains and forests quite well, which will make things easier for us!"

Wei Xi vowed to take the opportunity to take Qin Feng away.

Although Senior Brother Liu and Shen Fu couldn't find anything wrong with Wei Xi's idea, they always felt that this little girl from the Qingcheng Sect had something else in mind.

Wei Xi's words just hit the sore spot of some people.

After all, no one knows the strength of the Qing-Swallowing Beast yet, and everyone’s greatest reliance has been sealed. Now that someone “steps forward”, it is like saving people from danger!

Before Senior Brother Liu and Shen Fu could say anything, the miscellaneous troops behind them all spoke out in agreement with Wei Xi's idea, and all kinds of good words came out.

"That's right! Anyway, Fellow Daoist Wei is unwilling to go with Xu Yanchun. Since Fellow Daoist Wei is willing, then let her go and get the information!"

"I've always said that Fellow Daoist Wei is a heroine! Give her such a small task, and she'll definitely handle it easily!"

"Friends Xu and Wei are having a conflict, but we don't have time to solve the case right now. It's better for them to separate. It's better than holding on to anger and delaying important matters!"

……

Several people talked to each other and finalized the matter through their words.

Wei Xi took the opportunity to wink at Qin Feng, who then said, "Wei Xi is used to being unbridled and can't stand being wronged. I'm also worried about her going alone. Why don't you let me go with Wei Xi to avoid any accidents?"

"With over twenty of us, we'd be too conspicuous. Furthermore, there are five fellow Taoists seriously injured on the cart. If we rush in, something bad might happen."

Senior Brother Wang Xin spoke gently, always wanting to defend Wei and Qin. "Wei Xi is thoughtful, and Qin Feng is exceptionally skilled. They've both experienced some training. Sending them out to gather information will only benefit them. I think it's feasible!"

Wei Xi was a little surprised: She had forgotten about Senior Brother Wang!
Since the senior brothers from the Qingcheng Sect had already spoken, the Wanjian Sect didn't know what to say. They said in a deep voice, "Since you fellow Daoists insist, I'll have to trouble Junior Sisters Wei and Qin with this matter!"

"However, you two fellow Daoists must act within your capabilities and take care of yourselves. If there is no news from you an hour after dawn, we will split into two teams and go up the mountain to search for the Sky-Swallowing Beast."

Yu Jin took the opportunity to say, "Friend Wei and I hit it off right away! I volunteer to go with her to get some information!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you're joking," Wang Xin said with a gentle smile. "The cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect aren't good at fighting, so it's better to avoid situations like this. If anything goes wrong, Sect Leader Tuoba will be heartbroken!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu Jin, please stay," Senior Brother Liu said seriously, "so we can look after each other!"

The sword's embers were crying and trying to struggle, but he didn't even have the chance to speak.

Shen Fu tried to comfort Wei Xi, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Wei. We will definitely give you an answer regarding Junior Brother Xu's matter!"

Xu Yanchun: ...no response
Although he felt no guilt in using Xu Yanchun as a cover, his conscience still pang. Therefore, Wei Xi mumbled a few words and dragged Qin Feng to rest nearby.

"Xiaoxi, what are you going to do?" Qin Feng lowered his voice. "Didn't you say you were going to join the main force?"

"The people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are hiding something, and there's something strange about the trial grounds. Rather than getting mixed up with them, it's better to get out as soon as possible."

Wei Xi explained the matter as quickly as possible, and Qin Feng's expression changed from confusion to solemnity.

"The Wanjian Sect... shouldn't harm anyone," Qin Feng said uncertainly. "They were the ones who saved the cultivator on the cart..."

"Arrogance can also be harmful! These people from the Wanjian Sect haven't figured out the situation yet," Wei Xi slowed down her tone, "They still want to solve the problem in the trial field by themselves. I don't know where their confidence comes from!" Wei Xi sighed in her heart. After the reunion, she paid attention to the situation of the monks from the Wanjian Sect. Naturally, the baggage of these greenhorns was gone, and even their keys and masks were used.

I originally thought that cultivators from large sects would have all kinds of tricks, but I didn't expect that they were also led by the Qing-Swallowing Beast, and they were even unaware of it.

Demystified, severely demystified.

Qin Feng remained silent for a long time before he whispered, "I also think the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is being too frivolous by sending them here. The monsters are very skilled, and these cultivators are just starting out. Even if they have outstanding talents, how can we trust them to handle such a difficult matter?"

Although she didn't know what the Wanjian Sect and Zhenhai Sect were planning, Wei Xi knew that her life was her own, and she didn't want to be a stepping stone for others in vain!

Not long after, Senior Brother Wang Xin came back with the remaining embers and told the two junior sisters to be extra careful.

Wei Xi couldn't bear it, so he closed his eyes and asked, "Brother, why don't you use the excuse of looking after us to leave the team?"

Ember sneezed, feeling that he shouldn't have heard these words.

Wang Xin glanced at Yu Jin and said gently, "Since you can see that there is a problem, it's right to get out in time to save yourself."

"But someone needs to take care of this side. Besides, although the reputation of Qingcheng Sect is dispensable, any help is appreciated."

"You two just let go and save yourselves. The Zhenhai Sect is not in the right in this matter. They are treating others as fools. It's not your fault, two half-grown children." Wang Xin was obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Zhenhai Sect. It was rare for him to speak so bluntly.

Wang Xin took out another bulging bag and said, "Take this. Nothing is too little to save your life."

"Senior Brother..." Qin Feng was quite moved and quickly declined.

"I got it from the monks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect," Wang Xin said bluntly, "The Qingcheng Sect has a weak foundation. If you two risk your lives, it would be unreasonable for them not to shed blood!"

Wei Xi was greatly shocked. The two sayings "People from the same family tend to be alike" and "Older people are wiser" echoed in his mind, and the image of Qingcheng Sect became even more glorious.

After the two junior sisters packed up their things, Wang Xin went to rest on her own.

Wei Xi stared at Yu Jin, who felt uneasy and couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Wei... Fellow Daoist Wei, I'm just a fortune teller! I'm useless!"

"Don't," Qin Feng said sarcastically, "Didn't you just volunteer?"

Yu Jin replied with a bitter face: "I want to live too! If you two fellow Taoists can just let go of my hand, you can save my life!"

"No one is sure of success against the monsters," Wei Xi said. "You're with these people. They have a lot of life-saving items. It's much better than being with us."

"That's the truth," Yu Jin said without a trace of ambiguity, "but the hexagram clearly states that only by following you can there be a way out... Otherwise..."

Wei Xi regarded Yu Jin as a charlatan. Since he didn't have any insightful opinions, he just warned him not to talk nonsense, otherwise Wang Xin would give him a hard time!

Wei and Qin took the time to rest and left the camp at dawn.

The one who was truly proficient in tracking in the mountains was Wei Xi. With years of experience, she successfully found a secluded hiding place.

"Aren't we going to look for the Qing-Swallowing Beast?" Qin Feng was puzzled as he watched Wei Xi start to clear the debris on the ground and prepare to make a fire.

"I want to live a few more years," Wei Xi grinned. "If they run into anyone, the Qing-Swallowing Beast will come out sooner or later. You don't want to become the... excrement that marks the location of the monster, do you?"

"Oh!" Qin Feng suddenly realized, "It was all a cover-up from the beginning. You want to reap the benefits!"

Wei Xi, busy with his duties, looked at the perfect mountaintop and said softly, "It depends on whether it agrees!"

　The sect competition was written too slowly (covering my face), mainly because I was exhausted from the torture this month (emmmmmm), but some of the background stories will be useful later. The sect competition is almost over!
