Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 184 Both Cheats

Wei Xi circled in the woods, shooting a few arrows from time to time to prevent his opponent from giving up the chase.

Wei Xi released Lingyin secretly. Lingyin was not very big to begin with, and due to the limitation of the magic weapon, it was proportionally reduced. Now it was flying towards the target with a cloth rat stomach in its mouth.

The cloth rat is a Qingzhou specialty. This rat is about the length of a forearm, with a bulging belly. While its meat isn't tasty, its stomach is useful. The stomach of the cloth rat, after simple processing, is impermeable to water. Furthermore, its convenient and readily available storage method has become a popular method for storing liquid materials in the world of immortal cultivation.

Some sects in Qingzhou would hire civilians to raise cloth rats, which could be considered a source of income.

The Qingcheng Sect has no start-up capital and its disciples are not serious about it, so it is natural that they cannot earn any money from such spirit stones.

Wei Xi had previously considered raising cloth rats to earn spirit stones, but she had little capital and the market had already been divided up, so it was too difficult and she gave up.

But the cloth rat stomach bag I bought for reference is still there, and I accidentally used it this time.

Wei Xi's plan was relatively simple: since the embroidered portrait of Aibina that served as a substitute for her was solid, he would shake the poison powder and water and pour it on the portrait. In this way, when the portrait crawled back onto Aibina, the residual poison on the skin would seep into her body.

The specific executor was Lingyin. Wei Xi repeatedly warned her to grab a small branch and poke a hole in the cloth rat stomach bag on the embroidered portrait, spread the food evenly, and never peck at it with her beak.

Lingyin flew away with a stomach that was slightly bigger than herself, while Weixi used herself as bait to attract Aibina's attention.

Fortunately, Wei Xifang was intentionally approaching the direction of the embroidered portrait and was controlling the route.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lingyin flew back with flapping wings and stood on her head showing off her power.

The man and the bird were in perfect harmony. Wei Xi was so satisfied that he did not forget to wipe the bird's legs clean with a cloth - Lingyin couldn't even see her legs even if she twisted her head into a knot, so who knew if she was poisoned?
"Friend Wei, don't run away. You still have to eat lunch!" A voice with an accent reached Wei Xi's ears.

The first time Wei Xi heard this, her face was filled with black lines. But now, after hearing this poor Ju dialect, she was able to remain calm and maintain her rhythm of attacking from behind.

Aibina was really hungry. She was originally ranked last in the list and thought that the Qi-refining monks of Qingcheng Sect would be easy to deal with. However, she did not expect to run into Wei Xi who was armed with a magical weapon and was caught off guard.

Aibina is not Weixi. She knows the time limit of the magic weapon. She keeps using the empty city plan in her mind. She is getting more and more irritated and no longer wants to play a chase game with her opponent.

"Greetings to the Grandmaster," Aibina stood in the center of the dense forest, her expression solemn, her arms folded across her chest, and she uttered a string of nonsense. "Junior Aibina Aminximinduojiahu begs you to come!"

After she finished speaking, complex blue-black lines crawled up Aibina's fair face, and her originally pretty face became extremely terrifying. If someone looked at her from a distance, they might mistake Aibina for a tree crawling with insects.

"Chase, start!" Aibina shouted loudly, and the embroidered portrait on her face crawled out, turned into a ball of shadow, and then dispersed and drilled into the surrounding plants.

The plants invaded by the phantom sprouted developed root systems from the ground and spread rapidly in the direction Wei Xi fled.

Abina, with a pale face, leaned against the tree next to her to avoid falling down.

On the other side, Wei Xi, who was implementing the poisoning plan, heard a rumbling sound coming from behind. He turned his head and found that the curled plant roots were surrounding him from all directions.

"Is this the strength that can be achieved through Qi Refining?" Even if Wei Xi was calm, he couldn't help but cry out.

No matter how bizarre the abilities of Xiuxiang Sect monks are, they are still restricted by the immortal cultivation hierarchy system under the Heavenly Dao.

Even a cultivator like Qin Feng who can fight across levels is not free from the restrictions of heaven because of his excellent talent.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi regained his composure. First, the situation was within his understanding. Second, since he had already used a magical tool, there was no guarantee that the other party didn't have any hidden weapons. The psychological crisis was resolved, but the plants chasing him were already close at hand.

Wei Xi threw the dagger and broke one of the roots.

Unfortunately, there were too many plants, and Wei Xi's feet were entangled. These roots were like sharks that smelled blood. They were not like roots but more like vines, tightly binding the prey that seemed to have nowhere to escape.

Wei Xi, who was tied up like a dumpling, frowned: these root units that can be easily cut off by a dagger are not difficult to fight. Even if he is surrounded, he can escape by using arson.

It's just that the number of subsequent root systems is too large. His Qi Palace can only hold out for a while, not forever. Now there's no sign of Aibina. Once he's eliminated, poisoning her will be useless.

Just as Wei Xi was hesitating whether to wait for her opponent to harvest her energy before fighting him head-on, ten red threads shot out from her fingertips and angrily poked the ends of the threads into the tree roots that were clinging to Wei Xi.

As Wei Xi looked on in confusion and shock, the tree root that was poked seemed to be frightened, and immediately put Wei Xi, who was held in the air, down gently, as if Wei Xi was very hot, and let go of her.

Wei Xi: What’s the matter?

The red thread that came out of Wei Xi's body was still stuck in the tree roots. Those roots wanted to re-enter the soil, but were firmly controlled by the red thread as thin as a hair.

In the blink of an eye, the roots of the tree began to wither and then broke.

In Wei Xi's eyes, these thin red lines have become blood lines that rob people of their lives.

At this moment, Wei Xi was not at all filled with joy. Instead, she was enveloped by a deep sense of uneasiness.

After coming out of the secret realm of Baoxiang City, the red line has been dormant in Wei Xi's body. Only when she was in danger in Tangkou Town did the red line save her life in the turbulent Huan River.

This time, he took direct action and killed the plants.

You know, this thing is usually hidden in Wei Xi's body. If one day it sucks Wei Xi dry, I'm afraid no one else will know the reason for her death.

Wei Xi, unable to control the red line, watched helplessly as all the trees within sight withered. The culprit was inside it.

After a while, the red threads, saturated with spiritual energy, raised their ends, as if exploring something, but there were no living trees nearby. All ten red threads shook their ends in unison, then slowly retracted.

"Don't..." Wei Xi kicked her legs and tried to hide backwards. Intellectually she knew it was futile, but emotionally she still wanted to struggle.

Hong Xian didn't care what Wei Xi was thinking. After dealing with the tree root that dared to compete with her for the host, she ate her fill and returned to the body of Wei Xi, who was looking very resistant.

Watching the red line disappear from his fingertips again, Wei Xi, wanting to cry but unable to, raised his hands in front of his eyes. He rubbed his fingertips red in disbelief, trying to force the red line out.

Wei Xi naturally failed. Before she could try again, she heard footsteps coming from the woods.

　Aibina: I’m cheating!
　　Wei Xi: I'm cheating! (crying face)

　　There is one more chapter, as agreed yesterday.
