Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 174 Arena 1
Three days passed in a flash. Feng Xiaotian came over to check Wei Xi's pulse and confirmed that he was fine. Then they went to Coral Bay together.

"I've heard Coral Bay is picturesque, but I never thought my first visit would be to participate in a competition."

"I heard that the Feng family of Dingxinmen has lived in Ningyuntang for generations. I imagine it must be a beautiful place. I was lucky enough to take a tour of it that day thanks to Fellow Daoist Feng."

"Don't talk about you. I haven't been home for three or four years." Feng Xiaotian touched his chin, a hint of homesickness in his eyes. "But a good man's ambition is to travel far and wide. Staying in my hometown is certainly comfortable, but it's a waste of my skills."

Every time she saw Feng Xiaotian, Wei Xi was always curious about why he wasn't at Ding Xinmen. But she was curious, and since other people's affairs didn't bother her, there was no need to get to the bottom of them.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Feng is an outstanding medical practitioner," Lian Gou-yu, fearless of trouble, asked directly, "Why did you specialize in Dharma cultivation?"

Even Wei Xi felt offended by this question, so Qin Feng quickly came to the rescue, saying, "You've been wandering around these past two days, and your temper has become increasingly wild. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's okay," Feng Xiaotian said calmly, "It's not something I can't talk about!"

Feng Xiaotian was a very straightforward person, and his words at this time showed that he really didn't care. Wei Xi and the other two smiled awkwardly.

"The Feng family is also considered a prominent family, but the Dongyi are not like the Northern Frontier, and the struggles among the aristocratic families are more intense. I have two older brothers, both of whom are extremely talented cultivators. They will naturally inherit my legacy."

"Besides, I'm not very good at dealing with people. If I really practice the Dao of my family, I'll inevitably be entertained and sent off in the future. It's better for me to be a free and easy Dharma practitioner and live a carefree life."

Lian Gouyu had brought up the subject, so he could only bite the bullet and reply, "We all know that Fellow Daoist Feng treats people with sincerity."

Seeing the three of them huddled together, Feng Xiaotian clapped his hands and laughed, "It was my first time meeting these two, and my words were unpleasant to my ears, so Senior Brother Chen gave me a lesson right there."

"Senior Brother Chen has been worried about this behind the scenes, so I know my mistakes. But I think you guys are interested, so it's okay to tell you these things to avoid any doubts in your hearts."

Feng Xiaotian's frank words made Wei Xi feel a little embarrassed, and he felt that people have many faces. Before, he thought this person was not a bad person, but he just spoke without thinking. Now it seems that this person has a broad mind and is a hundred times better than ordinary people.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and Wei Xi returned the favor by telling Qin Feng and the others the intelligence he had compiled over the past few days - only these two people could use it.

"You are quite well-informed," Feng Xiaotian was not very concerned about the sect competition, so naturally he did not collect any information. But when he heard Wei Xi talking, he began to feel competitive.

"But those three prizes don't quite match you guys. If you really want to find something suitable, Chongxiaoye would be more suitable, as well as the Haishi of Dongxi."

Feng Xiaotian really has a talent. He can say nice things to people who have a dull pain in their knees.

Wei Xi couldn't say that he sold himself for 500 high-grade spirit stones, so he could only follow the topic and ask about Chongxiao's night party and Haishi.

"These two are famous auctions in the world of immortal cultivation. From rare treasures to intelligence spirit stones, everything can be bought at the auction."

"Speaking of which, your Qingcheng Sect is in the Northern Frontier, so it would be more convenient for you to go to the Chongxiao Night Gathering. After all, it's held in Chongxiao Sect's Chongcheng, so you don't have to travel too far."

"Zhongxiao Sect? Is it a sect in the Northern Frontier?"

Feng Xiaotian said carelessly, "Oh, I forgot. The Chongxiao Sect disobeyed the Wanjian Sect's orders and is one of the troublemakers in the Northern Frontier. The Chongxiao Sect is powerful and is no less powerful than the Wanfa Sect. They even have as many spirit stones as we do!"

Wei Xi, originally from the State of Ju, hadn't thought much of it as a child, but now, having traveled extensively and seen the world, from a cultivator's perspective, a quick reflection revealed the Zhongxiao Sect's considerable strength. With much of the northern border controlled by the State of Ju, and the cultivation world spun off into an alliance led by the Wanjian Sect, the Zhongxiao Sect remained undeterred, sandwiched between these two forces.

From what Feng Xiaotian said, there are quite a few sects like this one in Northern Xinjiang. It seems that sects are just like people: they are under high pressure all year round, and their strength becomes stronger and stronger.

However, Wei Xi felt that he was a small figure, and the path to immortality was uncertain. The most important thing was to save his life and earn spirit stones. He would not have any intersection with these forces that the Wen Dao Hall did not teach.

As they were talking, they arrived at Coral Bay.

Coral Bay lives up to its reputation. The sea and sky are one color, and the white sand is on top. Just one look at it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Even more fascinating are the colorful and diverse corals. These corals aren't submerged in the sea, but rather grow out of it, a natural wonder. Occasionally, winged, pale green creatures dart among them. A closer look reveals mist rising from their wake, creating a favorable environment for coral growth.

"What beautiful corals! They don't look like common species." Qin Feng rarely cared about his manners and looked at the corals curiously. Lian Gou Xie also commented on the color matching of the corals with great interest.

Vice Admiral Du had earlier sent a box containing two coral ornaments, which Qin Feng had liked, so he placed them in his room. Wei Xi, who lived in the same room, knew about this and said, "If you two like them, ask the Zhenhai Sect's people what species they are. While you're in Dongyi, try to find a few to take back with you."

"This species is hard to find," said Feng Xiaotian, a knowledgeable person. "It looks like coral, but the flying spirit beasts are actually the real body."

"This thing is called Xichao. It was born and raised in the sea, close to water and wind. It's extremely delicate. Only because the Zhenhai Sect has the right time and place can they maintain such a nest."

"Those corals are their nests. If you really like them, you should take the spirit beasts home to raise them. Looking at this patch of coral, I estimate that these nests are more than three hundred years old."

Wei Xi was musing in his heart: Coral is beautiful, but if I really keep it, wouldn’t it be like encroaching on the house of someone else’s spirit animal, which is a bit unkind.

Feng Xiaotian never disappoints. He immediately said, "But these are all top-notch medicinal herbs. Even though they grow in the sea, they're perfect for treating rheumatism!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xi silently moved a step to make room for the demolition master.

"I think it's just brighter colors," Lian Gou-yu found the recitation boring and quickly changed the subject, "Why don't we see the arena?"

Ever since entering Zhenhai Sect, the word "arena" has been ringing in Wei Xi's ears. Now, not to mention Lian Gou, who loves excitement, Wei Xi was also a little curious.

Without the restraint of his senior brother, Feng Xiaotian stood with Wei Xi and the others, waiting for the competition to begin. The four of them chatted for a while, and then the last batch of participating cultivators arrived, as did the spectators on the high platform.

The Zhenhai Sect's leader cleared his throat and said loudly, "The time has come! The competition begins!"

There was a rumbling sound behind him, and Wei Xi turned his head to look. Ten stone platforms rose in the middle of the Coral Bay, with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy. Although it had just been freed from the fate of salt water brine, it seemed that it had not been touched by a drop of sea water.

　Wei Xi is the Flag Master (sure)
