Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 290 Nanjiang (Thanks to BABALA for the reward!)

"Jiuai Mountain?" Qin Feng put down his teacup, looking very confused. "Where are we going and what are we doing?"

Qin Feng had just finished his evening class and washed up. Before he could even sit down, he heard Wei Xi say that she was going to Jiuai Mountain in Nanjiang.

"I need to make a magical weapon, and I need several materials," Wei Xi said, sitting at the table, sorting out his notes. "Besides, if I want to form a pill with you, it will be useless to stay in seclusion in the sect for twenty years."

According to common sense, there are less than six years left before the Yin-Yang boundary of Dieqi Mountain reopens, so Wei Xi really doesn't have much time left.

When Qin Feng heard that Wei Xi wanted to make progress, there was no reason for him not to support her, so he didn't bother to find out more.

"You stay in the sect all day, and your swordsmanship hasn't improved much." Qin Feng placed Gao Han on the pillow and sat cross-legged in his middle clothes. "Why don't I go to Nanjiang with you? We can take care of each other!"

"That's perfect. Let's take Lian Gou-yu with us!" Qin Feng leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "...Isn't that painter from Nanjiang?"

"What do you want to do with that painter?"

Qin Feng carefully crushed the talisman. "If Lian Goulu is unable to cultivate, he will be exposed sooner or later. Wouldn't that make us feel like we're in a dilemma?"

"What's the dilemma?" Wei Xi was very optimistic about the matter. She plucked the loose hairs from the tip of the brush. "It's just a theft in Baoxiang City. At most, he'll be imprisoned for a few years... Shen Yihou's dual form hasn't been mentioned by the sect!"

Now it was Qin Feng's turn to be confused and said, "Right... No, then why is he so nervous?"

After knowing Lian Gouqie for three years, Qin Feng finally thought of this.

"He's not hiding from a cultivator. Ah, that's not right," Wei Xi decided to be more rigorous. "Maybe the Lord of Baoxiang City has a cultivator under his command!"

"You mean... the person Lian Gou has been hiding from is the Lord of Baoxiang City?"

"That's right," Wei Xi wrote the date on the last page of his notes, then put down his brush and continued, "Otherwise, why would he risk stealing your Qiankun bag? We just beat him up."

"That night, there was a sudden explosion in Baoxiang City, and the soldiers immediately blocked the streets. Lian Gouyu had so little spiritual power that he couldn't even activate [Into the Painting] at that time. He had no choice but to take a risk and use the Qiankun Bag to force you and me to lead him out of the encirclement."

"This...this, when did you know this?" Qin Feng's face suddenly changed drastically. "You used this to trick him into coming to the Qingcheng Sect?"

"I didn't know originally, but I found out after he revealed his life story." Wei Xi put away his notes. "Anyway, don't go to Baoxiang City unless necessary. Nothing serious will happen to Lian Gouye!"

"What else are you hiding from me?" Qin Feng asked cautiously with a suspicious look on his face.

That's too much, Wei Xi thought expressionlessly. However, there was no need to anger Qin Feng, so she picked up an insignificant point and said, "...Do you remember those days when you repeated your gestures when we first started communicating?"

"I remember," Qin Feng tapped Lingyin's little head, "Back then, we didn't have it, and you couldn't write, so it was hard to talk to you!"

Wei Xi took the inkstone off the kang table and put it away. Then he said, "...I haven't been able to speak since I was a child, so I have to pay more attention to what others say. If you speak faster, I can still understand."

"You're taking revenge on me!" Qin Feng's eyes were filled with disbelief, which was then replaced by shame. "I... was indeed quite... annoying at that time..."

"At most, I'm just being stubborn," Wei Xi chuckled. "You'll understand after spending more time with me... If you want to come to Jiuai Mountain, then come. But this time, it's not just Jiuai Mountain. There are several other places we need to visit!"

"That's what I want!" Qin Feng clapped his hands in delight. "I haven't been to Nanjiang yet, but I heard there's no winter there! Not only are the seasons picturesque, but there are also butterflies the size of cattail leaves and pythons as thick as buckets! The local culture and scenery are completely different from the northern border!" "Winter is nice, if you have cotton-padded clothes and firewood..." Wei Xi, who had never been to Nanjiang, scratched his head and said, "Maybe there are those things you describe in the mountains. If I really saw a python that big, I would run away!"

The next day, the two informed Lian Gouqie, who was checking his wound in the mirror, causing him to wail continuously.

"My two ladies! You've only been back to the sect for a few days? What's so good about Nanjiang? It's full of miasma... and there are no official roads or post stations there, only barbarians and poisonous insects! Isn't it better for us to stay in the Northern Frontier?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Feng set the breakfast on the table. "This time we're going on a serious business! If you don't want to go, then just stay in the sect and take care of the kids!"

"No!" Lian Gouqie cried miserably, "Shen Yi has eight hundred ideas a day, jumping around all the time and never having a peaceful life..."

"Humph," Qin Feng sneered, "I'm not talking about Shen Yi! We're going to start recruiting disciples again after the New Year, and there are a lot of children to take care of!"

Lian Gouqie refused to agree no matter what, and kept saying that he wanted to stay in the sect to recuperate and absolutely refused to go to Nanjiang to get wet in the rain.

The heavy snow in Qingzhou continued to fall, and even though Wei Xi was extremely anxious, he had no choice but to stay in the sect to help. He cleared the snow, killed monsters, distributed herbs... He was so busy that he had to stay in the sect to celebrate the New Year.

The man on the other end of the room was still searching for other materials. Wei Xi looked through the several alternative materials that the other party had found with frustration, feeling that this kind of cultivation was not something that ordinary people could achieve.

Except for the wood of immortality, Wei Xi did not like the other materials. Although Wu Wu's ability was indeed great, he could not create something out of nothing.

With several things happening at the same time, Wei Xi became even more angry. A big lump appeared on his cheek and he had a severe toothache.

Wei Xi, who had a rare free afternoon, was sleeping with her cat in her arms. She vaguely felt someone grabbing her shoulders and shaking her.

Wei Xi opened his eyes: Wow! Lian Gou's face came into view.

"Wei Xi! You're finally awake! Save me!" Lian Gou's voice was panicked, as if he was frightened.

Before Wei Xi could say anything, Lian Gou's face changed in front of her: from a handsome young man to a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard.

"This..." Even the brave and careful Wei Xi felt a little uneasy, "Lian Gou?"

"It's me!" Even Gou Xie was about to cry, "I woke up like this, my face keeps changing! Ahhhh! This face is so ugly!"

The general kicked the noise maker twice, jumped out of Wei Xi's arms, and left with his tail wagging.

"Don't move!" Wei Xi asked the other party to calm down first, "Let me see... Can you change your face at will?"

Lian Gou's condition reminded Wei Xi of the mysterious skin-changing monk: perhaps these two had some connection that she didn't know about.

As if things were not chaotic enough, Qin Feng saw a strange old face as soon as he entered the house after visiting Master Han. He immediately drew his sword and pretended to beat up the "lecher".

When the chaos in the house ended, seeing that Lian Gou's situation was not going to be relieved for a while, the three of them discussed and decided not to celebrate the New Year and set off for Nanjiang immediately.
