Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 188 Recruitment (Thanks to Shanhe Manhuai for the reward!)

Qin Feng in the next ring glared at Lian Goujie: I thought Lian Goujie would surrender, but I didn’t expect him to surrender so quickly.

Not only was Ximen Wuyang, who was controlling more than ten sword shadows suspended in the air, surprised, but the monks watching the battle were also confused by this move.

In previous years, I only heard that the monks of Qingcheng Sect were vulnerable, but I never heard of any monks being unable to withstand a single blow.

This was something Wei Xi had expected: in public, Lian Gou Xie had many taboos when using [Into the Painting], otherwise he could have given his opponent a little scratching.

Qin Feng had already used up his sealing sword energy. How could Lian Gou Xie fight against the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who were at the foundation-building stage?

Lian Gou Xie didn't want to stay on the ring for a moment, so he ran down.

He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, Ximen Wuyang would catch him and take him back for a competition.

It took a long time before there were sporadic discussions among the crowd.

"...Can I surrender in the sect competition?"

"Why not? The ring has already acknowledged it, and we can't just take them back and force them to fight, right?"

"What are the fellow Daoists of Qingcheng Sect thinking? Letting such a person come up here and embarrass themselves! Or is the Qingcheng Sect so weak that it doesn't even have the strength to fight?"

"But isn't Qin Feng on platform four also from the Qingcheng Sect? The two opponents he faced were both Foundation Establishment masters, and he defeated them with a single move, leaving them unable to even use a single attack..."

"This! The Qingcheng Sect is lucky! Doesn't that sect have many powerful people? She's really powerful if she can survive the Jindan stage!"

……

Wei Xi sighed inwardly: Apart from anything else, the reputation of Qingcheng Sect was briefly damaged by this sect competition.

However, Wei Xi squinted his eyes and looked at Lian Gouwei who was walking back. In the eyes of others, his image of being timid and cowardly could not be changed for a moment.

Fortunately, Lian Gouqie himself also intends to develop in the direction of scout and assassin. This can be seen both in Tangkou Town and in the sect competition.

"Wei Xi, let me tell you..." Before he could even stand still, Lian Gou Xie couldn't wait to cry out his "tragic" experience.

The tears were squeezed out, and the words were not choked back.

"...Brother Feng is back," Lian Gouqie said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, still wanting to maintain some dignity in front of others. "Is Senior Brother Zhao okay?"

"His condition has stabilized, but he hasn't woken up yet. He needs someone to feed him medicine on time."

As he was speaking, Feng Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he had never treated this man before. Even when he first met him, he looked pale and refused to let him feel his pulse.

Feng Xiaotian was a straightforward person, and he couldn't hide anything. The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. He looked at Lian Gouye from head to toe several times.

While they were talking, Feng Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed, and Wei Xi was the first to notice that something was wrong.

Although I don’t know what Feng Xiaotian is thinking, it is definitely related to Lian Gou.

Wei Xi spoke first, "Why is Fellow Daoist Feng staring at Lian Gou? Do you think he looks strange?"

Lian Gouqie was so naive that he didn't know how the topic had brought him to himself. Wasn't he still concerned about Zhao Dazui's injury just now?

"Ah?" Feng Xiaotian's first reaction was confusion when Wei Xi asked him this, but he quickly said, "Daoyou Lian Gou is from Baoxiang City, so it's not surprising that he has some Hu blood..."

"Indeed, I remember that in the secret realm before, Fellow Daoist Lian Gou seemed to have suffered a serious injury. I wanted to treat him at that time, but he said it was not necessary..."

Lian Gou's back was covered in cold sweat: Why did I think of this? Besides, where can I ask him to feel my pulse?

"Didn't I know you at that time?" Lian Gouqie calmed himself down and tried to get over the matter.

"Alas, there's no need to hide the fact that I'm hooking you," Wei Xi said in a sad tone, "Maybe Fellow Daoist Feng has some way to fix the problem of you feeling pain when someone touches you..."

After saying that, Wei Xi wiped the corners of his eyes, looking worried about his fellow disciples.

Lian Gouqie: When did I develop this problem? An hour ago, I was carrying you on my shoulders.

However, Lian Gouqie does like to keep a distance from people, because his body only looks like a human, but in fact there are many flaws in the details and it cannot withstand close scrutiny.

Since Wei Xi had already said this, Lian Gou Xie continued, "This... My problem is not serious. Just be careful not to let anyone touch it, otherwise it will hurt like a needle."

"I was so happy just now that I bumped into Wei Xi and her a few times. My shoulder still hurts."

Feng Xiaotian originally wanted to help Lian Gouqie, but when he saw him grimacing in pain and Wei Xi wiping (non-existent) tears, he didn't dare to help.

"...Fellow Daoist Lian Gou's illness is quite strange. Have you seen anyone?"

"Not only have I seen it, but during those years when I was a free cultivator, I was searching for extraordinary people in the Western Regions, hoping to cure it."

"I've suffered a lot, but my illness hasn't improved. There's a hermit in the Dead Immortal City who saw that this is a mental illness..."

Seeing that Feng Xiaotian believed a lot of it, Lian Gou'e's lies became more and more fluent.

The Dead Immortal City has been mentioned frequently recently, and the hermit is a person who does not exist.

It seems to be both real and fake, but in fact it is all fake.

"So that's how it is..." Feng Xiaotian was originally thinking about diagnosing the pulse with a thread, but he didn't expect that the cause of the disease had already been found.

However, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Lian Gou was unwilling to talk, Feng Xiaotian probably knew that some secrets might be involved, so he tactfully did not ask.

Wei Xifang spoke just to give Feng Xiaotian an explanation. He usually kept his distance from others, often gossiping a lot without any contact.

As for himself and Qin Feng, Lian Gou was a little scared at first, but later he took into consideration the difference between men and women and decided not to have physical contact unless necessary. When Qin Feng came back, he saw Feng Xiaotian running away as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why is he so anxious to compete?" Qin Feng looked puzzled. "Isn't his opponent this round from Ding Xinmen? Is it really okay to be so impatient?"

Lian Gouqie whispered to Qin Feng so that the three of them could speak with one voice.

Qin Feng looked at the two people in front of him in silence. "Even if his identity is exposed, so what? There are so many races that cultivate immortality...why would they come up with such a problem?"

Qin Feng was several versions behind in the matter of Lian Gou's identity from beginning to end.

The fact that Lian Gou-he had a strange origin, a somewhat ignominious past, and didn't want to cause trouble was just one aspect.

His biggest trouble came from the Baoxiang City Lord's Mansion. After all, Lian Gouyu looked exactly like the current Baoxiang City Lord, and they had a close relationship.

Wei Xi had used this point to trick Lian Gou Xie into coming to the Qingcheng Sect.

Of course, Lian Gouqie also wanted to escape from Baoxiang City.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not explain the whole matter to Qin Feng.

"Forget it, since you two have said so, Lian Gou will have this problem from now on." Qin Feng did not dwell on this matter any more. "When we reach the Jindan stage, anyone who wants to harm us will have to weigh the pros and cons."

The second round of the competition was still going on, and the three of them watched the game.

But before it was quiet for a while, someone came over.

"I am Xu Jiuzhou from Linchuan Pavilion, and I'm here to visit Fellow Daoist Qin!"

The person who spoke was a graceful female cultivator, wearing a white Taoist robe with blue and white flowers, and a string of diamond-shaped rubies at the corners of each eye.

Wei Xi looked carefully: these two strings of rubies were actually growing in her flesh, which looked a bit weird and beautiful.

"This is my fellow disciple, Chi Pei," Xu Jiuzhou said with a smile as she introduced the young man who was a head taller than her. "His inborn physique is a mutant ice attribute."

So that's how it is. Wei Xi suddenly realized and looked at the two of them with more vigilance. After all, they were here to recruit talents.

However, Wei Xi did not intend to speak. She knew that with Qin Feng's talent and diligence, the Qingcheng Sect was too shallow for her.

From the first time they met, Qin Feng was not satisfied with the resources of Qingcheng Sect. Now that his cultivation path has improved, he naturally has the opportunity to start over.

Wei Xi was worried that Qin Feng would accidentally join a sect with a bad atmosphere and fall into the quagmire of the second Huaixin Sect.

This matter still depends on Qin Feng's own choice.

"Hello, fellow Taoists," Qin Feng clasped his fists. "What can I do for you, fellow Taoists?"

Xu Jiuzhou was not annoyed by the other party's premeditated question. He smiled broadly on his oval face, "Junior Sister Qin is extremely talented and powerful. In time, she will definitely become a legend in the world of immortal cultivation."

"The elders in the sect cherish talent very much and think that if Junior Sister Qin were to become a disciple of Linchuan Pavilion, she would definitely achieve greater success."

Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled politely and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you're joking. The world of immortal cultivation is full of talented people, many of whom are extremely talented and amazing. I am just an ordinary cultivator and cannot bear the kindness of your elders."

Lian Gouqie wanted to laugh, but Wei Xi kicked him lightly and he held it back.

"Junior Sister Qin, you're too modest," Xu Jiuzhou said without reacting to Qin Feng's polite words. "The cultivation method practiced in Linchuan Pavilion is very suitable for cultivators with high bone purity."

"Everyone knows that the higher the purity of one's innate strength, the higher the ceiling of one's achievements. Junior Sister Qin has exceptional talent. If it were to go to waste, wouldn't that be a waste of a gift from heaven?"

"Besides, the root bones are of high purity, and the cultivation process also has many risks. This may sound a bit boastful, but Linchuan Pavilion is indeed the most experienced sect in dealing with these things."

Xu Jiuzhou was vague about the so-called risks, but Wei Xi, standing by, could see clearly that Chi Pei's eyelashes were frosty and he was barely breathing, like a walking ice sculpture.

Xu Jiuzhou pointed to Chi Pei beside him with sincerity, "Senior Brother Chi's bones also have a mutation of ice attribute. He has reached the lower stage of foundation building in ten years of cultivation."

"If Junior Sister Qin joins Linchuan Pavilion, not only will you be personally taught by the dedicated elders, but you will also receive double the monthly academic qualifications. Foundation-building disciples receive 10,000 high-grade spirit stones and one bottle of each of the four types of elixirs each month. Once you achieve elixir formation, you can choose your desired magical instrument from the sect's treasury."

"Brother Chi came here today because he wanted to see you. After all, we both have mutant ice-attribute bones, so it would be good to be able to exchange a few things."

Xu Jiuzhou's words did not attack the Qingcheng Sect, and his tone was quite sincere. Although he was trying to poach members of the sect, his attitude made up for it to some extent.

If Wei Xi had heard about the monthly allowance of the disciples of Linchuan Pavilion before, he would probably have been shocked.

But having just made a deal, she was much calmer.

Ultimately, the Qingcheng Sect is too poor, and its disciples have only seen a limited amount of the world.

The monthly stipends for the disciples of Linchuan Pavilion are so generous, so I imagine that the treatment of the Gu Nu Sect, which is also a major sect in Dongyi, is also very generous.

No wonder Zhou Shengqing gave away tens of thousands of spirit stones with just a wave of his hand. It turns out that he is very powerful.

Wei Xi, who was already thinking about earning spirit stones, was even more excited: if there was a chance, he would also study the operation modes of these sects, learn from their strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and earn more spirit stones.

After Xu Jiuzhou finished speaking, he just waited for Qin Feng to make a decision.

"...On the path of cultivating immortality, everyone has their own destiny." Qin Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "I appreciate Linchuan Pavilion's kindness."

"While external cultivation is certainly important, determination is more valuable. There's nothing wrong with me being in the Qingcheng Sect, and I have no intention of joining any other sect. I'm sorry to have failed your sect's kindness!"

　There are many characters, but not all of them have important roles, especially in occasions like sect competitions, where many people's role is to showcase the sect.
