Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 282 Agreement
The senior brothers and sisters insisted on not accepting it, so the three of them had no choice but to give up. After staying for a while, they left on their own and went to hand in the task card for Frost Palace on the way.

When Wei Xi returned to the courtyard, he ran into Zhao Dazui again and exchanged pleasantries. Zhao Dazui had been unconscious when Wei Xi left two years ago, but seeing him so full of life now seemed a little unreal.

Zhao Dazui personally cooked a table of dishes for Qian Liangfeng, who still lived in the courtyard. The five of them finished their meal happily, and as it was getting dark, they chatted for a while before dispersing.

The next day, Wei Xi woke up early, showered, and changed her clothes. She combed her hair, which was usually tied up casually, into a smooth comb. Even Lingyin was rubbed several times with her cleansing spells, and she looked unhappy.

The man and the bird packed up and set off in the slightly cool morning light.

The Qingcheng Sect's small population made it difficult to maintain a large complex of buildings, so the disciples' activities were usually concentrated. Yizhangyuan was actually quite large, and it took Wei Xi nearly three quarters of an hour to reach Changzui Tower, where Elder Xianhua lived.

Elder Xian Hua stayed in the sect temporarily after the sect competition, which made it easier for Wei Xi to find someone.

Now Wei Xi had changed his mind and was determined to become stronger, so clinging to someone powerful was the first step. After extensive and unsystematic research, Wei Xi concluded that the key to clinging to someone powerful was having someone powerful enough. As the most accomplished cultivator in the Qingcheng Sect, Xian Hua was the best choice.

Wei Xi's hands felt a little sore as she held the box, but she didn't show it on her face - because there was a magical tool nearby that was monitoring the visitors.

Changzui Tower sat at the northernmost edge of Yizhangyuan, its architectural style exemplifying the grand and spacious style typical of northern Xinjiang. Wei Xi could clearly see the cliffs behind the tower. Although the snow hadn't yet fallen, the chill was palpable.

Elder Xian Hua is young, but he became famous early and has the highest treatment in the sect. This area is his territory, and he has planted many strange plants. On weekdays, the shadows of the trees are everywhere, and the disciples of the sect rarely come here.

As the saying goes, "Experts look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement." Although Wei Xi is just a novice in refining equipment, she still recognized plants such as purple thunder golden-winged cypress, immortal pine, and Loujinhua.

Just the few items that Wei Xi recognized cost no less than a million spirit stones, which shows Xian Hua's strength and financial resources.

After glancing at the magical instrument fluttering beside him like a butterfly, Wei Xi obediently knocked on the expensive door of Changzui Tower.

After a moment, the door opened a crack wide enough for someone to pass through. Wei Xi gestured to make sure he wouldn't get stuck, then quickly slipped through.

Wei Xi braked suddenly and barely avoided falling into the water: the first floor of Changzui Tower was actually a bottomless pool of water!

Doesn’t this ghost sect have any normal architectural style?

Stepping on the bluish-white jade, Wei Xi took a step back slightly. After making sure that he would not fall into the pool, he was in the mood to observe Elder Xian Hua's residence.

Unlike Elder Jiang's Xunhe Tower, the seven-story Changzui Tower only has the first and second floors open. The staircase close to the building spirals upward like a giant python. The bottom plate of the third floor is inlaid with magical instruments arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. Although they cannot be named, one of their functions is definitely lighting.

The walls are covered with various drawings, like an archive of magical instruments. The overwhelming amount of information gives people a feeling of brain overload.

Wei Xi's eyes were almost overwhelmed, and at this moment she found that the color of the water in the pond changed from emerald green to indigo blue.

"The water's poisonous, don't touch it!" Xian Hua's voice came from above. Wei Xi withdrew his hand and looked up to see Elder Xian Hua, whom he had only met once, standing on the stairs. "I remember... you were the little mute?"

"Disciple Wei Xi greets Elder Xian!" "Well," the disheveled Xian Hua waved his hand, "I'm glad you came back alive! Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Wei Xixing knelt down and bowed respectfully, "I am here to become your disciple! I hope the Immortal Master will not despise my stupidity and accept me as his disciple!"

"...Are you stupid?" Xian Hua clapped his hands and laughed, "Alright, alright! Stop with all these polite words! If you were stupid, the Zhenhai Sect's trial field would have claimed your life long ago!"

"Why did you think of asking me to be your disciple? Aren't all the kids these days obsessed with learning swordsmanship? One sword can freeze nineteen states, how impressive!"

"I like to tear things apart," Wei Xi said honestly, "and now I want to build things... Besides, my Qi is too small and my bones are too weak to be a sword cultivator!"

"That makes sense." After refining the magical weapon for more than half a year, Xian Hua felt dizzy and said weakly, "You are born with deficiencies. You are lucky to be able to build your foundation!"

"This pond is called Foolish Heart, also known as the Hidden Weapon Pond. It took me a lot of effort to build it... When you came in, the water turned emerald green, which shows that your roots are compatible with the wood element."

"Weapon refiners deal with fire all day long! A bone with an affinity for wood? Humph, I'm afraid even if you learn it, you'll only be used as firewood!
"Since your Qi Palace isn't working, you could become a medicine cultivator. Studying pharmacology is also a good path for you! Why bother with weapon refining?"

Wei Xi's heart was slowly filled with hope: If Xian Hua didn't want to accept him as a disciple, there was no need for him to waste words with him.

With this thought in mind, Wei Xi said respectfully, "Everything depends on human effort! Although I'm not very smart, I really want to become a weapon refiner! I hope the elders will support me!"

"No!" Xian Hua seemed to remember something and added, "Looking around the world, I am the undisputed number one in refining magical instruments! There are countless people who want to become my disciples, so why should I accept you as my disciple?"

Wei Xi replied loudly, "First, because you are exceptionally strong; second, because I will do everything in my power to achieve my goal; and third, because I am willing to delve into my studies!"

"This is a magical instrument that I improved upon," Wei Xi presented the doll with both hands. "Elder, please take a look and make your decision!"

"Deer skin, Fufengjing, you're really willing to use the materials," Xian Hua turned the doll over and over. "The needlework is good, but the structure is just average."

"Hiss!" Xian Hua was a little surprised, and looked at Wei Xi with a pair of bright eyes, "How could there be residual Yin and Yang energy in here?"

Seeing Wei Xi remained silent, Xian Hua narrowed his eyes and began to speculate, "You're quite courageous! You even dare to use Yin and Yang Qi! No wonder you dared to come to Changzui Tower to look for someone today!"

"The idea is okay, but the craftsmanship is a bit lacking." Xian Hua returned the doll to Wei Xi. "How about this? You'll be registered under my name. If you can find a solution to your Qi Palace and Gen Gu problems within three years, I'll take you in as my apprentice. If you can't, I won't have to accept you as my apprentice. How do you do that?"

Wei Xi knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation, "Master! Please accept my disciple's greetings!"

"Good! You're very confident!" Xian Hua praised generously, not worrying about offending others. He said bluntly, "There's no need to call me Master so hastily. Let's see if you can find a way out in the next three years!"

"Disciple understands, thank you for your help, Elder!"

　Xian Hua on the surface: What level are you? How dare you take me as your master?
　　Xian Hua: (Looking at the doll) It wasn't a two-year wait! What a great disciple!
