Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 245: Fate
According to the last communication, Qin Feng and Lian Gouwei were in the capital of Bingzhou at this time.

Heading north from Xizhou, passing through Fuzhou, you will reach the border of Bingzhou.

Wei Xi used the Immortal Sect's sign to mobilize the horses at the post station—she felt no pity at all, just taking it as a profit. With the current situation being chaotic, the people at the post station thought she was an immortal master who had come down from the mountain to help, and they treated her the best.

After three days of galloping, Wei Xi arrived in Fuzhou.

The last rag doll was also broken into pieces. Wei Xi opened his eyes, and fire came out of his fingertips, burning the rags as clean as a candle. Lingyin saw the flames and made a "crack" sound.

"Ordinary materials really won't work," Wei Xi tossed Lingyin a snow cherry—a specialty of Fuzhou, some of which were reserved for the wealthy and powerful at the post station. "It can't withstand even a little bit of yin and yang energy..."

A rag doll, or more precisely, a puppet that stores yin and yang energy. Wei Xi learned this skill when he was in Yin Yang Slope.

Wei Xi did not decide to cling to Xian Hua on a whim. She considered various factors: first, Xian Hua admitted that she was his disciple in front of most of the immortal world; second, she could feel that this Taoist monk felt a little guilty for not being able to protect her; finally, the thread-bound book that Xian Hua threw to her gave her confidence.

The thread-bound book looked ordinary, but it contained the basic knowledge for beginners of weapon refiners.

Strictly speaking, this kind of introductory knowledge would only be passed on by the master to the disciple after the career path was chosen. Wei Xi, extremely bored, read the entire book, absorbing everything he knew, filling his head with fire control techniques, smelting knowledge...

Then a miraculous change occurred in the book: the knowledge on it faded away, and was covered with a new layer of notes.

Wei Xi grabbed a corner of the book, feeling a bit lost. But remembering that the book was given to her by the elders of her own sect, she began to read the contents with confidence.

Replacing the basics is a more advanced area of refinement: identifying materials. The book provides a detailed discussion of the properties, origins, uses, and combinations of various materials, along with beautiful illustrations for easy learning.

Because the content was so overwhelming, Wei Xi spent six months on this module. Even more frustrating was the fact that after completing this section, there was a test: the entire book became a test consisting of fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions. If she didn't answer, the test would collapse into a paper tube and pound on her head.

In the end, Wei Xi passed the exam with a score of 70, unlocking a tree-like directory. The entry points and material identification were like the roots of the tree, illuminated but dimly lit; the forks in the trunk marked the different branches of the weapon refiner.

This magical instrument with a bit of evil taste must have come from the hands of Elder Xianhua.

This magical instrument, which contained a great deal of experience as a weapon refiner, made Wei Xi's mind active: Elder Xian Hua gave him this "Self-Study Guide". Was it a hint that he could get his protection on the path of becoming a weapon refiner?
At that time, the sect gave Wei Xi a lot of things - everyone knew that she had been wronged, and Wanjian Sect and Zhenhai Sect also sent people to send two boxes of materials to compensate Wei Xi.

In this context, Wei Xi treated the book that Xian Hua threw to her as a toy to entertain himself.

Wei Xi, feeling dizzy after the exam, held this priceless magical weapon in his hands and began to ponder his future development path.

Among the four major directions of weapons, armor, magic tools, and material development, Wei Xi discovered a small branch - puppets.

The red line in Wei Xi's body seemed to sense the host's malicious thoughts and quickly shrank towards the Qi Palace.

Unfortunately, Wei Xiqiang was terrifying—both before and now. She didn't even pretend, and openly absorbed the yin and yang energy into her body, just to see who would die first or Hong Xian would give in first.

Success or failure depended on this one move. The red thread was a bully, afraid of the strong. Wei Xi's move drove it mad, and it quickly emerged, desperately kowtowing to the living ancestor. Worried that the thin thread wasn't enough, it stretched itself out to its full length, rolled itself into a coil, and apologized to Wei Xi. Enduring the excruciating pain, Wei Xi picked up the pleading red thread, sneered, and sighed, "You've been here for so long, haven't you had enough?"

The red line is just a magic tool, and everything it does relies on instinct: if the host is about to die, it will try its best to save him, and if it encounters food, it will be the first to rush forward.

Back then, the red thread was a guiding thread between heaven and earth, weathering the vicissitudes of life. Unexpectedly, as order crumbled and the boundaries between yin and yang cracked, it was torn from heaven and earth, transformed into a red thread and descended into the mortal world. Later, it was sealed away by a nameless cultivator, and upon its reawakening, it unexpectedly became the source of the secret realm.

After thousands of years, the red thread was nearly drained. Encountering Wei Xi and the others, the red thread absorbed a little blood to recover. Unexpectedly, Wei Xi's rules countered the seal, allowing the thread to escape by parasitizing her body.

Now was no longer the time for order to collapse and for Yin and Yang Qi to flow. Hong Xian, whose primary food was Yin and Yang Qi, was starving. She had no other choice but to hide within Wei Xi's body and steal some spiritual energy to fill her stomach.

Of course, this red line is the meridians of heaven and earth. He instinctively looked down on a useless person like Wei Xi. He slept in Wei Xi's body every day and refused to obey the order.

After much difficulty, he managed to snatch some Yin and Yang Qi from the big fool (the Qing-Swallowing Beast), but the red line absorbed it too quickly, not only destroying the formation and the trial field, but also hurting himself. He could only retract into the host's body and pretend to be dead.

Some time ago, the host used the Yin and Yang Qi to practice, and this red line was so bold that it secretly intercepted a part of it and became thicker at the Yin and Yang slope.

Unfortunately, I met Wei Xi, a madman, who was determined to force myself out even at the cost of my life.

Wei Xi didn't know about Hong Xian's ups and downs, so he said coldly, "Looking at you like this, there's no way you can get off me."

"In that case, stop pretending! Correct your status and serve me honestly..." Wei Xi was a little confused about what this thing was called, "A... a magical weapon! The stronger I become, the more secure you will be. I'll give you a name: [Qiansi]."

[Qiansi] accepted this name with humiliation.

When Wei Xi saw the red thread coming out of his palm, he thought that it had grown into his flesh, and was still sighing that he had grasped the rope for playing with puppets in the future.

It wasn't until Wei Xi had a friendly exchange with the old medical practitioner next door who stole corpses for dissection that he learned a trick: observing fate.

This move was a spell created by an old medical practitioner. It can be used by cultivators who have established their foundation. Its greatest use is that it allows them to see the internal structure of their own body.

Wei Xi weighed the pros and cons and used it on herself once. She gained a better understanding of her progress in cultivation, and more importantly, she saw the [Thread] wrapped around her bones.

[Pulling Silk] One end can extend freely, while the other end is wrapped by the Qi Palace and root bone.

In other words, this meridian of heaven and earth grows together with Wei Xi.

If it were just this, it wouldn't be a big deal. The most troublesome thing is that Wei Xi's still loose bones are of wood attribute.

　That's right! Wei Xi is of the wood attribute! It's a bit funny to think that she will become a weapon refiner in the future.
