Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 182 Arena 9
A baby crawled out by clinging to Xin Shangyang's skin, fluttered around, and sat on the ground with his feet spread out.

Wei Xi wanted to rub her eyes. She really suspected that she had seen it wrong: everyone knew that a baby was the last creature that should appear on the ring.

Not only Wei Xi, but also the mermaid who was preparing a big move was stunned: Why did they bring a human kid up?
The baby raised his eyes and yawned slightly.

Before the mermaid could react, Xin Shangyang retreated repeatedly, making the mermaid even more confused.

The next moment, his doubts were answered.

Before the baby finished yawning, the mermaid, who was originally on the offensive, suddenly softened and collapsed uncontrollably on the ring.

Under Wei Xi's shocked eyes, the baby who obviously couldn't walk yet crawled towards Xin Shangyang with a bitter face.

Then, he reached out for a hug.

Xin Shangyang refused to hold him. The baby pouted, his eyeballs drooped down his cheeks one by one, and he howled at the top of his lungs.

Xin Shangyang, prepared for the sound, covered his ears and was spared the demonic sound. But no one present had expected a baby's cry to be so loud and penetrating, stirring people's brains to the point of turning them into soy milk.

Wei Xi quickly covered her ears. She felt that Lingyin could not serve as her ears.

At this moment, Wei Xi also felt something was wrong: in the secret realm of the wooden tower, what the Xiuxiang Sect monk summoned was just an illusion, but the sonic weapon on the stage was very solid, and the fat on the cheeks trembled along with the tears, which did not look like an illusion at all.

And it looked like Xin Shangyang was also suffering greatly from it, as if... he couldn't control this baby.

Wei Xi's eyes lit up when she smelled the flaw. She compared the chaotic scene before her with the moves of the Xiuxiang Sect monks in her memory.

It is obvious that Xin Shangyang is not strong enough and can only use the patterns on his body. The things he creates cannot be controlled by his power at all, so this thing is so solid.

Just as Wei Xi thought, Xin Shangyang on the stage could not control his emotions.

It wasn't that he was in a difficult position: after all, his opponent had been knocked unconscious by his nightmare and was just waiting for him to finish him off. As for the uncontrollable baby, Xin Shangyang had experience; once it tired of crying, it would crawl back into the embroidered portrait.

Xin Shangyang did not have Wei Xi's good attitude. He was really embarrassed.

Ever since he entered the Xiuxiang Sect, he had stopped dreaming. It wasn't until his senior brothers and sisters couldn't stand it anymore that they discussed it and gave him a bottle of dream-inducing oil. Applying it to his temples before bed would help him have nightmares.

The good news is that Xin Shangyang had his first nightmare that could be called an embroidered portrait, the bad news is that what was embroidered was a baby.

Thinking about how he had used an embroidered image to release a chubby white baby while fighting in a dashing manner, it was true that the opponent would be distracted and make mistakes because of the strange embroidered image, but he also looked like a pervert, so Xin Shangyang felt uncomfortable all over.

That's why he mainly dodged at the beginning, and only used this [Demon Child's Blasphemy] when he made up his mind.

Xin Shangyang on the ring wished that the child would stop crying quickly. The longer he cried, the more his reputation would be ruined.

Xin Shangyang was extremely nervous, fearing that something might go wrong. He quickly stabbed the unconscious mermaid and then calmly dealt with the crying baby.

Fortunately, after the result of the competition was announced on the ring, the baby stopped crying and crawled back into the embroidered portrait, and the world was finally quiet.

Feeling embarrassed, Xin Shangyang stepped off the stage, but unexpectedly, this incident also turned out to be a pleasant surprise for others. Wei Xi quickly formulated a plan in his mind: if Ai Binna's cultivation level could fully control the embroidery, then he would find a way to delay; if Ai Binna's cultivation level was still lingering in the Qi Refining stage, he could easily end the battle quickly.

It was only after seeing it today that I realized how powerful the Xiuxiang Sect, a sect that takes an unconventional approach, is.

Compared to swordsmanship and magic formulas, embroidered images are even more difficult to defend against, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a fall. If two cultivators who haven't yet reached the Jindan stage collide, the disciple of a sect like the Embroidered Image Sect has a much better chance of success.

The competition of the seventh group ended quickly. It is worth mentioning that before the eighth group went on stage, several monks bought some talismans from Lian Gouqie.

Lian Gouyi collected the spirit stones and looked much happier. "The last time we competed in the arena, we already opened up sales channels. It wasn't a wasted trip!"

Due to the lack of systematic and extensive knowledge, Lian Gou Xie is currently unable to make complex and sophisticated talismans. Fortunately, he has made many improvements and extensions to traditional talismans.

Most of the talismans used by cultivators who have reached the stage of Dan formation are functional. Those who go on the stage in the sect competition are all disciples who have reached the stage of foundation building and Qi refining, so basic attack and defense talismans come in handy.

After identifying the target customers and clarifying the development goals, Lian Gou worked harder to greet customers and demonstrated how to use the products, focusing on teaching them until they learned the basics.

Unfortunately, he can only sell some basic modified talismans at present.

Several monks who came to buy talismans all wanted to buy the talisman that Lian Gou Xie used to win the battle, but Lian Gou Xie only had one talisman in his hand, so how could he have any extra to sell?
Fortunately, Lian Gou Xie's talismans are practical and well-made, and the effects are excellent as proven by his personal experience.

Therefore, after the eighth group competition ended, Wei Xi, who was about to go on stage, was stuffed with a handful of talismans by Lian Gou.

Because it was the last round of competition today, the previously scattered attention of the entire city was focused on the four people on the two rings.

In Wei Xi's eyes, there was only Ai Bina as his opponent.

Aibina had a typical Hu appearance, and her pair of gray-blue eyes reminded Wei Xi of a frozen lake in winter. She was not wearing a Taoist robe, but a rather cool sleeveless dress, revealing her snow-white arms.

Although they were young, they were both seldom cheerful. So, they simply exchanged names and began the competition.

As soon as they fought, Wei Xi knew that the other party's cultivation was higher than hers. She made a prompt decision. She threw down a fog talisman and took out a small box covered with patterns from her Qiankun bag under the cover of the fog.

Wei Xi stuffed five or six spirit stones into the grooves on the box lid. After the patterns lit up, he opened the box.

The ring instantly turned into a lush forest, catching Abina off guard.

Wei Xi concluded that if he wanted to advance successfully, he had to eliminate his opponent at all costs. Once the determination was made, the resources had to follow suit to achieve it.

Therefore, Wei Xi used the magic tool he got when welcoming guests. The magic tool was called [Landscape] and was made by an elder of Duanye Sect. It was used to simulate various environments for his disciples to promote their cultivation to a higher level.

This thing has three disadvantages: first, its range of action is limited; second, it is a disposable consumable; and third, it can only last for half an hour.

At this time, this limited space in the arena is the most suitable. Wei Xi holds a crossbow in his hand, ready to hunt down his stumbling block.
