Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 229 Plan
Wei Xi carried the corpse and ran to the middle of the tunnel in one breath.

"Don't stop! The Qing-Swallowing Beast is back!"

Wei Xi rolled his eyes, "Can it come in? There's plenty of room outside, give the monster a good rest."

Yu Jin's tears were about to splash out: She is thoughtful, bold and careful, this game with her is a sure thing!

Several people hid in the middle of the tunnel. Although there was no lake water here, it was very humid. It stuck to the skin and was slippery and unpleasant.

Including the two people carried back by Shen Fu, a total of five people were rescued this time. Although each of them was seriously injured and barely breathing, they were still hanging on.

Shen Fu used his money power to stabilize the situation of these people by giving out all kinds of elixirs without paying for them.

"Where is the center of the formation that suppresses the intersection of the trial field?"

Shen Fuqiang suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and asked in a hoarse voice: "The center of the formation? Why are you asking this?"

Wei Xi straightened the corpse he had brought back and replied nonchalantly, "I'm going to stuff the eye of the formation into the corpse and let the Qing-Swallowing Beast eat it."

"What!?"

Shen Fu's voice became sharp, "Are you...are you crazy?"

Wei Xi sneered, "I can't defeat the monster, so this is the best solution I can think of."

"The eye of the formation has been swallowed, and the monster has become a living eye of the formation. Its strength is so strong that even if we die, this seal will not be damaged anymore."

"Of course," Wei Xi squinted his eyes as he searched for a suitable spot on the corpse. "If the Qing-Swallowing Beast can't handle it and explodes and dies, the trial field will be stable if it holds up."

A formation, especially one that had been maintained for so many years, must have a very powerful core. Given that the Zhenhai Sect had always wanted to deal with the Qing-Swallowing Beast, Wei Xi ruled out the possibility that the Qing-Swallowing Beast was the core of the formation.

In this way, the core of the formation that suppresses the intersection of yin and yang is most likely a magic weapon.

If I were the founder of the Zhenhai Sect, what place could be safer than a trial field with free security?

The fact that Zhenhai Sect is determined to defend the trial ground at all costs further illustrates the problem.

"Then you haven't considered that if the Qing-Swallowing Beast destroys the center of the formation, the suppression formation will be completely destroyed! At that time, the yin and yang energy will flow, and all living things will be in ruins!"

"And the lives of the people are being decimated," Wei Xi interrupted. "If we don't do this, we'll all die!"

"Impossible! I will never tell you the location of the array's center!"

Wei Xi smiled slightly, "So the core of the formation is indeed in the trial field!"

Shen Fu felt a mouthful of blood rising from his throat, but he pretended to be calm. "You won't find it in such a huge trial field!"

"Ember!" Wei Xi shouted, "Can't you calculate it? If you can't, I'll send you on your way!"

Yu Jin, who was originally watching the fun, could no longer laugh. One of the two men was a disciple of a powerful sect, and the other was a ruthless man.

He didn't want to offend either of them. As he hesitated, the sound of the Qing-Swallowing Beast feasting came through the tunnel. Yu Jin's vision went dark, as if he could see the unfortunate person being chewed to pieces.

Damn it! If the hexagram says it's Wei Xi, then that must be her!

Yu Jin took out a handful of peach wood sticks. Shen Fu didn't even care about the wounded and tried to snatch them away, but was stopped by Senior Brother Wang.

"Fellow Daoist Shen," Wang Xin said, his face gloomy for the first time. "My junior sister is helping us with our efforts, so please don't mess with us!"

Shen Fu, weakened, was completely powerless to resist and could only stare at Wei Xi in anger. She had previously thought this man reliable, but now she seemed like a selfish lunatic! She dared to get into such a big mess! Her actions were vicious, her tricks were endless, and she even dared to desecrate a corpse. It was clear that this woman had evil intentions and would become a major threat to the world of immortal cultivation!
Shen Fu was furious and hateful at this moment. He criticized Wei Xi to pieces and blamed himself for being blind and letting her trick him into giving away a lot of information!
They completely forgot that the Origin Tracing Trial Field was the work of the Zhenhai Sect's incompetence. Their poor planning and overthinking led to complications, leaving Wei Xi and his group of young disciples to clean up the mess.

Wei Xi couldn't read minds, otherwise she would have burst into laughter, and she would have been sarcastic and angry, saying that Shen Fu was at his wit's end and was jumping up and down in anger.

Qin Feng, who had been silent the whole time, paid attention to the movements in the tunnel. Seeing Shen Fu's red eyes, he sighed and said, "Survival is more important than anything else. Xiaoxi's method is a good idea."

"Besides, if I had told you the truth at the beginning, we might not have ended up in this situation." Qin Feng paused, his expression a little strange. "You'd better save your energy now. Your fellow apprentices are still relying on you..."

The ember grabbed five sticks and spread them out in his palm. His whole body seemed to be frozen, except for his eyes which kept rolling, with the whites and black pupils switching back and forth, which was very scary.

As Yu Jin's eyes moved, the peach wood sticks flipped in his hand, and soon a stick shot out and nailed directly into the rock wall. Yu Jin lost all his strength and fell to the ground.

Wei Xi stuffed a pill into his hand and pulled him up by the collar.

"I figured it out," Yu Jin leaned against the rock wall, pointing at the mahogany stick embedded in it, "From here, dig five meters..."

"Nothing taboo?"

"Not really," Yu Jin stood up again as the drug took effect. "We're all hidden in the mountains. Why would we need to restrict them?"

"Wei Xi!" Shen Fu's tone changed, and a pleading expression appeared on his face. "Don't make a big mistake! If we fail, the Zhenhai Sect will suffer a small matter, but the people of the world will be innocent!"

"You need to practice your persuasive skills," Wei Xi muttered. "Eat as much rice as your stomach can hold, and save your own life first!"

"Besides, if it swallows the center of the formation, the Sky-Swallowing Beast will never be able to leave the trial field again." Wei Xi pointed at his face, with half-dried blood clinging to the edge of the wound. "Only talk about the benefits and be unwavering. That's the only way to convince others!"

"If one's virtue is not in line with one's position, the disaster will be severe; if one's ability is not in line with one's position, the disaster will be great." Qin Feng blurted out this sentence, staring at the puzzled eyes of the others, and she added, "Stomach and rice are not important."

Literacy education was not enough to help Wei Xi understand Qin Feng's words, but Wen Dao Tang's other best-selling product - rote learning - made her come up with the method of the array eye.

The large quantity is enough for ordinary students like Wei Xi to cope with many situations.

"Listen Shen Fu," Wei Xi said seriously, "If you want to meet with your fellow disciples, no one will stop you."

"Now we have to dig this damn thing open, take out the eye of the formation, stuff it into that corpse, and trick Xiao Qingqing into eating it!"

"There's no precedent for this," Yu Jin sighed, "but when it comes to luring monsters, I think we need to be very careful in choosing the right person."

No one paid any attention to the timid embers.

Qin Feng and Wang Xin stood behind Wei Xi, one on the left and one on the right, explaining their attitudes.

Everyone in Qingcheng bullied me because I was old and weak, and Shen Fu felt an endless desolation in his heart.

The air in the tunnel seemed to freeze. In the end, Shen Fu was defeated and covered his face dejectedly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen," Wang Xin offered an excuse, "Your injuries are too severe, and these seriously injured fellow Daoists cannot remain here forever."

"Why don't you take them to the beast's lair halfway up the mountain? While you're taking care of the wounded, keep an eye out for any movement on our side and respond as quickly as possible."

　Formations and magic arrays are not the same thing. Formations require an array eye (which can be understood as supplying spiritual power/energy) to maintain for a long time, while magic arrays are very short-lived and are made on-site by people.

　　The trial field and the formation overlap, but the Qing-Swallowing Beast doesn't know it.
