Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 224 Convergence
The boundary between Yin and Yang? Wei Xi was puzzled: the only thing she remembered was the crack that ran across the Dieqi Mountains, which was also the place where cultivators had to go to form their elixirs.

Shen Fu understood the situation and dared not lie. "When Yin Qi is strong, evil spirits will run rampant and people will suffer. When Yang Qi is strong, the earth will crack and mountains will collapse, bringing disasters one after another. When Yin and Yang are out of balance, diseases will invade the body and strange phenomena will occur frequently."

“Only when yin and yang are in order can the world be stable and all things have a place to breathe.”

"Thousands of years ago, the Yin and Yang Qi flowed through the world. Later, the people built roads and the monks sealed them, which stabilized the Yin and Yang Qi in the world."

Shen Fu was worried that the two wouldn't understand, so he explained it thoughtfully, "You can imagine that the Yin and Yang Qi tore the clothes apart, and the monks sewed the holes together."

"The intersection of Dieqi Mountain not only dredges the Yin and Yang Qi in the world, but also serves as an important channel for replenishing the Yin and Yang Qi. It was left here and is guarded by someone."

"'There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from Heaven, and one of which is hidden by man.' There are too many variables, isn't it possible for human minds to calculate? The other places where Yin and Yang meet have all experienced unusual movements in recent years."

The tears on Shen Fu's face had dried up, and the coldness of the Wanjian Sect disciple returned.

"This intersection of Zhenhai Sect was originally a trial field for suppression. Once the monster beast breaks through the restrictions of the trial field, the closed crack will reopen."

"By then, it won't be enough to just sacrifice a few of us monks."

Shen Fu bowed solemnly to Wei Xi. "Friend Wei, Friend Qin, this matter concerns the fate of the empire. Although I have offended you many times before, I hope you can first deal with the Qing-Swallowing Beast. After we leave the trial field, I will go to the Qingcheng Sect to apologize!"

"How capable are you? You're the one who carries the fate of the world on your shoulders?" Wei Xi was now furious, nitpicking at every little detail. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Once this matter gets out, people will panic, fearing that something unexpected will happen. It will be a time of turmoil, and neither the world of immortal cultivation nor the world of the living can withstand it."

Wei Xi squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Fu, as if considering whether her words were true or false.

In fact, this illiterate boy did not understand the other party's flowery words.

After receiving Qin Feng's confirming look, Wei Xi spoke, "How much information did the Zhenhai Sect give you?"

Although Wei Xi didn't respond, from what she said, it seemed that she still wanted to resolve the issue of the Qing-Swallowing Beast.

At this time, one more helper is a helper. Moreover, Wei Xi's performance made Shen Fu dare not underestimate him, and he told all the information he had.

The bundle, the fog, the corpse swimming under the moon, the key and the mask are all the painful experiences summed up by the Zhenhai Sect, which are no different from Wei Xi's reasoning.

As for those medicines, the disciples of Zhenhai Sect who had survived before said that the restrictions on the Qi Mansion would be lifted after drinking the medicines.

However, all these monks who were freed from restrictions died in battle.

The forest at the beginning is actually the outer perimeter of the trial ground. The fog inside can make people unconscious, and the trial ground will send outsiders who are affected by the fog out.

The Zhenhai Sect and the Wanjian Sect initially planned to use fog to send their unsuspecting disciples away.

Wei Xi's expression was a little complicated: it sounded like things were complicated here, but he was completely clueless and just plunged into it.

Considering the secret told by Feng Xiaotian, Wei Xi felt that the matter of the fog was questionable.

It’s more fun to come in and pull hair flowers with Xiao Qingqing.

"The formation we're using is the [Dubo] formation passed down from the Zhenhai Sect. This formation was used by the founder of the Zhenhai Sect to subdue the Qing-Swallowing Beast."

Qin Feng seemed to be lost in thought. "Just now I saw the magic circle you used. It seems to be of water attribute. But the Swallowing Sky Beast is a monster born in the sea. All rivers eventually flow into the sea. Doesn't that help it?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin has good eyesight," Shen Fu said, his mind burning with anxiety, yet he managed to maintain his sanity. "Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. The mystery within this is something that only the ancestors of the Zhenhai Sect can decipher. I am just copying."

Wei Xi was reserved: the one who could be sent to carry out such a mission must be one of the best disciples of Wanjian Sect.

However, Shen Fu's modesty was harmless. These people even dared to take the medicine given by the monster, which showed that they were determined to die together with the monster.

Although Wei Xi is afraid of death, it does not prevent her from respecting those who sacrifice their lives for justice.

Wei Xi sighed in his heart: Okay, this time I will save the people too!

He knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to defeat the Qing-Swallowing Beast; he also knew that defeating the Qing-Swallowing Beast was the way to save the world: so surviving himself was equivalent to saving the world.

Wei Xi sorted out his logic and his eyes became more upright.

"Fellow Daoist Shen," Wei Xi softened his tone, switching from his ferocious, interrogating state to a harmless, noobish one. "Are you still able to cast [Du Wave]?" "My strength is meager, and the last try was barely enough." Shen Fu was in a terrible state, barely able to stand. "Besides, the trial field is too restrictive. It's difficult for a cultivator at the foundation-building stage to unleash the power of the formation."

"The reason the magic circle failed to suppress the Qing Swallowing Beast wasn't because of its power," Qin Feng kindly helped Shen Fu up. "The Qing Swallowing Beast's strength has obviously increased significantly."

Qin Feng was much calmer at this moment, and he analyzed the things he was good at very clearly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are incredibly powerful. Few of your generation can rival you. A few years ago, the Sky-Swallowing Beast might have been suppressed by the magic circle, but now, even if a cultivator of the Daoist faith were to arrive, they might not be able to suppress the monster with the magic circle..."

Shen Fu's face was filled with shame. "It's okay for me, but I failed my master's trust! But my fellow junior brothers and sisters..."

"I have some ideas," Wei Xi said, not wanting to hear any more sentimental drama. "I just want to wait a while."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until dark," Wei Xi pointed at the gradually fading sky. "Next time, give me some fast runners. Don't you know the situation of the Qingcheng Sect?"

Shen Fu was stunned by this, and Qin Feng kindly explained it to him.

"I have something even faster here," Shen Fu said, pulling out a more exquisite rag doll from his Qiankun bag. "Tuoba comes from the Duanye Sect, so the things he refines are definitely not inferior!"

"Oh right," Shen Fu took out his own fire starter, "You can use my fire..."

"Take a break," Wei Xi interrupted without hesitation. "Your mask and key are probably long gone. Leaving the tinder behind might save your life."

"If you're alive, the chances of rescuing your fellow disciples will be greater," Wei Xi pointed at his nose. "Do you trust me to rescue them?"

Shen Fu withdrew his hand in a flash and smiled awkwardly at Wei Xi.

It didn't get dark, but Wang Xin came over with someone.

"Senior Brother Wang!" Qin Feng exclaimed, and his heart finally settled down.

"My two junior sisters! Fellow Daoist Shen," Wang Xin's tone was filled with joy, "Are you all okay?"

"It's okay." Wei Xi replied, his eyes drifting to the person being dragged.

"This is Zhang Miao from Linchuan Pavilion." Wang Xin released the man, who collapsed to the ground like a blood gourd. "He's injured, but not dead. I brought him out."

"That's right," Yu Jin emerged from behind. "Senior Brother Wang wasn't in good shape himself, and yet he dragged him along all the way. He's truly a kind and righteous man!"

Wei Xi's eyelids jumped: This charlatan is not dead yet?

Yu Jin was a man who knew how to flatter others, so he quickly said to Wei Xi, "I figured it out. Only by following Fellow Daoist Wei can you have a chance of survival!"

"When I saw that ugly, wiping beast, my legs were shaking. Luckily, I had Senior Brother Wang with me! Knowing how empathetic your sect is, I hid near him and followed him all the way!"

Seeing Shen Fu's face, Yu Jin swallowed his words and stood aside with his head lowered.

Before leaving, Wei Xi gave his senior brother a Lingyin feather and came back while reciting the search formula.

"Is this... Chi Pei?" The mask was washed open by the blood, and the revealed outline looked very much like Chi Pei.

"Chi Pei did not participate in the competition this time, how could it be him!?" Shen Fu looked at the roster and Chi Pei's name was not on it.

"But the number of people is correct." Qin Feng remembered that Wei Xi had confirmed the number of people at the beginning.

"Does Linchuan Pavilion know about the trial field?" Wei Xi held up the water bag to wash away the blood on Xue Hulu's face. It was indeed Chi Pei.

“I know, but I’m not the main force.”

Remembering their positions during the encirclement and suppression of the Qing-Swallowing Beast, Wei Xi immediately asked, "Who was supposed to assist you?"

"Li Xie from Linchuan Pavilion," Shen Fu began to help Qin Feng check the injured, "He has a water-attributed bone structure and is a magic cultivator."
