Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

"The wind is changing direction. Once the tide pushes the waters to the shore, the sea turtles will carry you away."

After saying this, the pale purple mermaid slammed the stick in her hand, and the giant clam shell, sensing this, automatically closed.

Compared to Wei Xi, who returned empty-handed, Feng Shi was the one who was most embarrassed by standing on the back of the sea turtle.

The reason is simple: it's one thing for family members to know these things, but if outsiders find out, how can the Feng family of Dingxin Sect maintain their reputation?
Merfolk are closed-minded and xenophobic. Apart from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Zhenhai Sect, only the Dingxin Sect can maintain contact with these beautiful creatures who live in seclusion in the sea. If others were to know that the merfolk treat the Feng family with such contempt, the Feng family would lose all face.

Feng Shi sighed, thinking that Wei Xi and the other two were ultimately introduced by his cousin, so they still had some sense of propriety.

However, Feng Shi, who had been active in the business world for many years, naturally knew that relying on the integrity of others was simply courting death, so he quickly put such a naive idea out of his mind.

Therefore, after the sea turtle threw the people into the shallow water, Feng Shi smiled awkwardly at Wei Xi and his two companions who had come ashore in a disheveled state, and subtly offered to give them some pills.

Wei Xi refused the offer in a few words—theoretically speaking, she was a reasonable cultivator, and the mermaid's madness couldn't be entirely blamed on this disheveled and wretched middle-aged man.

Of course, there's also the concern that medications shouldn't be taken indiscriminately.

Regardless, Wei Xi's "generous" behavior relieved Feng Shi.

Feng Shi was at least ten years older and in charge of the business. After a few days of getting to know each other, he knew that the real leader among the three was Wei Xi, who had a gloomy temperament and eccentric behavior.

After exchanging a few more polite words, Wei Xi declined Feng Shi's invitation, saying only that she needed to seize the time to gain experience.

“The three of you are all outstanding among the younger generation, and you are so hardworking! It is said that heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times, so someone like me has no place to use my talents!”

"Senior, you exaggerate," Wei Xi replied casually. "Diligence can make up for lack of talent. In a few years, Dieji Mountain will open. How can one form the Core Formation in one fell swoop if one's cultivation is not up to par?"

Hearing this, Feng Shi said with some sadness, "Judging from your performance in the sect competition, I know that you three are no ordinary people. With your exceptional talent and your determination to improve, your future is limitless!"

"I am a few years older than you, but in terms of cultivation and temperament, I am not as good as you fellow Daoists. I am truly ashamed!"

Unsure of Feng Shi's meaning, Wei Xi remained silent.

After Qin Feng said a few more polite words, the two groups finally parted ways.

Wei Xi and his group chose to return to Yuwei Town and quickly booked two rooms at the inn.

Once inside, Wei Xi crushed several talismans and pulled a scroll from his sleeve.

"I'm suffocating!" came Lian Gou Lang's panting voice from the scroll. "Next time, could you hang me on your belt? At least I won't suffocate!"

Wei Xi didn't answer, his gaze falling on the "Lian Gou Hun" standing ramrod straight in front of him. He said impatiently, "We've brought you out, the deal ends here!"

……

Last night, Wei Xi's sneak attack under the bed was clearly effective.

Seeing the pale face that suddenly appeared in front of him, the merman, who was terrified, was almost scared out of his wits.

Seeing this, Wei Xi's lips curled up, his smile becoming even more terrifying.

The panicked merman tried to escape with his strong body, but Qin Feng, who was prepared, pinned him to the spot.

Physically, it was nailed to the spot, and the "cold" was stuck on the mermaid's tail.

"A slug?" Qin Feng, whose swordsmanship was faster than his brain, exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here?"

The merman, writhing in agony, thrashed its tail uncontrollably against the floor, struggling in vain. [Tethering Silk] bound the still-growing merman. Qin Feng, recognizing a familiar face, drew his sword, Gao Han, scratched his head, and said helplessly, "Why are you dodging? How can you take this sword strike if you don't dodge?"

While being bandaged by Wei Xi, the cricket grimaced and said, "I want to sneak out and play! Unfortunately, the priests are strict, and it's impossible to get out easily! I can only try my luck by sneaking into a caravan!"

Wei Xi applied a little more force to clean the wound, increasing the pressure by half. The pain was so intense that the wound guzzled and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"You have one more chance," Wei Xi said softly. "Choose the truth or a lie!"

Almost reflexively, Gu Xun recalled Lin Qinlan's miserable state on the arena a few years ago. The truth was about to spill out, but then he remembered his plan, and he forced himself to endure the excruciating pain, turning his face away to prepare to fight to the bitter end.

Completely unaware that he had become a potential nightmare for cultivators, Wei Xi felt a surge of disgust and sneered, "Lian Gou! Go and invite Xie Huang. Tell him we have a disobedient merman here, and have him come and take him away!"

"it is good!"

Before the Best Supporting Actor, Mr. Lian Gouyan, could pretend to leave, Ku Xun couldn't hold back any longer and immediately said, "No! I'll talk! No... I want to make a deal with you!"

"trade?!"

Qin Feng's disdainful attitude caused Ku Xun's face to contort for a moment, clearly stung by the contemptuous tone.

But Crawling clearly had more important things to do, so he took a deep breath and said quickly, "I need to find Kui'er! I've lost contact with her for ten months!"

This didn't sound untrue, so Wei Xi sprinkled some powder on the fish's tail and gestured for the cricket to continue.

"As you've all seen, the merfolk are killing each other in the Yuange Sea," a pained expression appeared on Ku Xun's handsome face. "Mermaids of our age don't like...fighting..."

"Fratricide."

The quail, speaking haltingly in Ju dialect, nodded. "Yes, infighting! We don't like it. There's an organization that wants to change things... and they're all young merfolk like us!"

"Kui'er and I are both members of the organization!" Sensing the wound on his tail healing, Kuo Xun's attitude improved considerably. "But... there are too few merfolk, there's no way... We remembered a legend..."

Hearing this, Wei Xi's heart sank. Based on her experience, legends usually didn't bring good news.

As expected, tears welled up in the corners of the slug's eyes, threatening to fall, and it said sorrowfully, "It's the Sea Warrior... Its blessing doesn't want to leave. Legend says the Sea Warrior will bless the merman who inherits its will... so that they can start anew..."

"Kui Shi went to the statue... and after being blessed, she left with her entourage..."

“We agreed to have the sea carry a message in three days. Kui Ai said they have arrived at the sea designated in the blessing... and are trying to find a way in…”

"Ten months ago, I lost contact with Kui Ai... In her last letter, she told us not to go there, because it was dangerous!"

"I was so anxious that I ran inside the statue to look for clues..." Gu Xun's grief was slowly eroded by fear, "and I ended up getting burned..."

This matches the burns on his body, Wei Xi thought to himself, at least 80% of what Ku Xun said is true.

The slug continued, "It caused quite a commotion, alarmed the priests, and I was... locked up..."

“This is a matter within your Devouring Sea Sect,” Qin Feng said with difficulty. “We are all outsiders, and it’s really not appropriate for us to get involved. Hiding here with us isn’t a solution either!”

Unexpectedly, the cricket looked up at Wei Xi, stretched out its hand covered with a thin film, and said, "I found these things from the statue."

Wei Xi was surprised to see that the merman's palm held metal parts. (End of Chapter)
