Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 545 Knocking on the Door at Night

Wei Xi nearly jumped up—although I Qi Yu was incomparably handsome, when had she ever thought of finding a Daoist partner!
The Hehuan Sect is utterly shameless! Is this revenge or repaying a debt of gratitude? They've blurred the lines between public and private matters—it's outrageous!
"Have you all lost your minds?" Wei Xi spoke up resolutely for himself, "Who wants to find a Daoist partner? If you're unwilling to give up the position of sect leader, just say so. Is it necessary to scare people like this?"

"Stop," Master Du opened his eyes and stopped the farce, "The Qingcheng Sect has never taken advantage of others to arrange a marriage. Have you all lived to such an old age and yet still managed to do this?"

"Don't bring up such muddled things again! Wei Xi will do the work for you, and you'll transfer one of the spiritual veins you mined in the Northern Frontier to the Qingcheng Sect. Also, I remember the Hehuan Sect has a few Transmission Stones; give them to Wei Xi as payment. If you don't agree, then this is off the table."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect did not dare to refute Master Du and agreed to the conditions one after another. He immediately ordered Elder Di to bring the Stone of Penetration and the contract of the spiritual vein.

Wei Xi felt increasingly that this matter was too dangerous, but in front of outsiders, she could not refuse her elders, so she had no choice but to accept the task.

"I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Wei to take my Qi Yu down to the mortal realm tonight. As long as he successfully forms his core, this matter will be settled."

Wei Xi said with a dark face, "I'll make this clear to you two: this is a matter of cash and money being exchanged. Don't let me hear any more nonsense about becoming Daoist partners!"

"That's natural; forced happiness is never sweet."

"There's no need to worry about internal sabotage in Dieji Mountain, and with Master Du looking after the iron chain, Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't need to be too nervous."

"Throughout the generations of Red Dust Eyes, the formation of the Golden Core has been exceptionally smooth. Fellow Daoist Wei only needs to protect my Qi Yu."

Wei Xi still didn't look pleased and asked, "Is he going to take his wheelchair down with him?"

"No need, I, Qi Yu, am just a little weak, but I can walk without any problems."

Time was of the essence, so the two from the Hehuan Sect exchanged a few more words before taking their leave with Eqiyu.

"Looks like they're really desperate," the magic master muttered, "They can't believe they came up with such a stupid idea."

Master Du handed the box containing the Stone of Penetration to Wei Xi and said coldly, "The people of the Joyful Union Sect are most adept at using emotions to disrupt the situation."

"Speaking of which, it was our ancestor's foolishness that left the Hehuan Sect with a huge debt of gratitude. Do you really think these two wanted to give Eqiyu to Wei Xi as a Daoist partner? This is a reminder that the Qingcheng Sect owes them!"

Master Du was clearly unwilling to elaborate on the nature of such a significant favor, and turned to instruct Wei Xi, "I'll trouble you to settle this debt for the sect. Once the spiritual vein is given to the sect, I'll give you an additional 500,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Now that things have come to this, Wei Xi has no choice but to agree, after all, she is afraid of the Hehuan Sect.

Moreover, Wei Xi was curious about the Yin-Yang energy on Qi Yu's body, which might help her to better undermine the Heavenly Dao.

Why not take the benefits? Wei Xi didn't believe the other party's nonsense—this traitor, who had driven the Hehuan Sect to such a point, would never sit idly by and watch E Qiyu successfully form his core.

Therefore, Wei Xi nodded in agreement, then suddenly said, "What if this kid dies inside? Won't the Hehuan Sect come after my sect?"

Master Du sneered and said disdainfully, "Then I'll let them experience a few calamities. Go ahead and do it."

"Speaking of which, although that kid has some flaws, he is quite handsome. If you have any designs on him, I think the Hehuan Sect will just turn a blind eye."

Upon hearing these absurd words, Wei Xi nearly vomited blood.

"Immortal Master, please stop teasing this junior. I dare not provoke the romantic entanglements of the Hehuan Sect disciples!"

Unexpectedly, Master Du frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Who told you to flirt with him? It's just indulging in pleasure and putting on an act. With such a good appearance, you're not at a disadvantage."

Wei Xi was momentarily unsure whether it was her morality or her hearing that had been challenged, but it was definitely her morality that pulled her back. "This disciple is focused on cultivating myself and has no interest in romantic relationships. I implore you, Immortal Master, to be careful with your words."

"Strange," Master Du said, narrowing his eyes slightly as if he had discovered something interesting. "When did the Qingcheng Sect switch to the Path of Ruthlessness?"

The magic sect leader laughed heartily, glaring at Wei Xi with resentment, and said, "Master Du, stop teasing the child! His ambitions lie elsewhere, isn't that a good thing? Besides, when it comes to cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, the Joyful Union Sect is the best."

"Shut up!" Master Du said impatiently, "Little Wei, if you're really set your mind to it, you can take it even if you have to! I'll take care of everything!"

Now Wei Xi understood perfectly well that Master Du's ten-faced Buddha had changed again, and that was why he no longer had that air of a hermit master, but was only urging her to forcibly take the immortal man?

Seeing the scene becoming increasingly chaotic, Wei Xi stuffed the Sin Stone into his pocket and slipped back to his room.

Upon entering his cabin, Wei Xi saw a lotus lantern resting on the table.

This is Xian Hua's craftsmanship; Wei Xi has seen it several times in the past two days.

He borrowed fire from the candle and lit the lotus lantern. Several lines of writing appeared on the petals, explaining when the Qingcheng Sect's team would depart that night, which rope they would use, and that Master Du would personally oversee the disciples' descent to the mortal realm.

“As expected, the sect leader and the others had already discussed it with the Hehuan Sect,” Wei Xi watched as the lotus lamp turned into a wisp of green smoke. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been the last one to descend to the mortal realm.”

"It's convenient for the last person to take Qi Yu with them. If I don't agree, it's not a big deal."

"If the Hehuan Sect hadn't used that favor, I probably wouldn't have taken on this task."

Thinking of this, Wei Xi sighed and began to take stock of the supplies in his Qiankun bag.

That's how experienced unlucky people are; knowing they can't escape it, they make the best preparations they can.

Without going into detail about the other supplies, Wei Xi put the [Tears of the Dried-Up Sea], [Essence], [Displacement], the Stone of Penetration, and the soil seal of Xizhou into the pendant-shaped Qiankun bag. Then he took out the root bone belonging to Yan Ci, wrapped it with brocade, and placed it together with the above five materials.

"Senior Yanci, I have done my best to fulfill your request, and I hope you will not blame me for offending your remains. Besides, if I hadn't lived up to my own potential, your remains would have rightfully belonged to me. Please don't worry about what to do with them!"

Wei Xi was always quick and efficient. With two hours left before departure, she slept fully clothed to conserve her energy.

In a daze, Wei Xi heard someone knocking on the door.

The knocking was extremely soft and brief, sounding furtive.

Wei Xi suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Lingyin and rushed to the door, placing his hand on the door without opening it.

But there was no sound outside the door; it was as silent as a dream.

Wei Xi felt something under her foot and slowly moved her foot away.

It turned out to be a letter, with the words "To Wei Xi" written on the envelope.

Wei Xi didn't rush to open the letter. She took three steps back, put on the puppet she had made yesterday, and opened the cabin door.

Sure enough, there was no one at the door.

"Interesting," Wei Xi thought to himself, "What kind of shady news is in this letter?"
