Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 396 Nighttime Supplies
"The Devouring Beast originated from the Dongyi people, and the 'Sea Warrior' is also something worshipped by the Dongyi Merfolk tribes. Perhaps they share the same origin, which is why they both use the trick of bestowing blessings to deceive people!"

"If that's the case, perhaps 'Sea Warrior' tampered with your memories! That would make sense!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xi nodded slightly, moved his left hand which had not been properly treated, and then said, "What you said makes some sense, but there are still many things that don't make sense."

"For example, how did the 'Sea Warrior' know that I had seen the Sun-Devouring Beast? Furthermore, how did it know that the 'Blessing' trick posed any threat to it?"

Taking a deep breath, Wei Xi tried to relax his fingers and get used to the tingling sensation of the strong liquor cleaning his wound.

"'Sea Warrior' knows about the Everlasting Tree. It was almost impatient when it mentioned it! I believe it's more likely to play me for a fool, or it's mentally ill, just like the Everlasting Tree."

"Also, if it really was that deep-sea gambler who did it, how did he manage to do it?"

Qin Feng sprinkled the powder on the wound. "You mean, the reason you have memory problems wasn't caused by 'Sea Warrior'?"

Wei Xi hissed, "The wound heals very quickly. Is this medicine you brought back from Ju?"

“That kind of medicine is no longer effective,” Qin Feng said, making a hand seal to burn the blood-stained silk. “I asked Master Han, and she said that the longer a cultivator’s cultivation time, the greater the difference between the environment inside a cultivator’s body and that of an ordinary person.”

"I replaced all the medicine I carried with me the year before last," Qin Feng froze the scattered ashes and casually tossed them into the empty copper basin. "You really should look at the prices of these wound medicines. No wonder Dingxin Sect is so rich!"

"Senior Brother Wei, no discount?" Wei Xi grinned, remembering the pills his cheap master had sponsored for him. "I should thank Elder Xian Hua properly."

"what?"

"It's alright! I don't know who did it right now, but we can wait a bit. There's something else that might be a breakthrough."

"You know I haven't figured it out yet, right?" Qin Feng broke Wei Xi's dramatic pause, teasingly saying, "Just tell me the result, I can handle it!"

“It’s still the same question from the beginning,” Wei Xi said softly, “Why did I dream about Shen Fu?”

At first, Wei Xi didn't understand why she dreamed of Shen Fu and those strange scenes; now she doesn't understand why, if someone—or something—tampered with her memories, she would dream of memories that should have been lost or covered up at this critical juncture.
"In short, the answers to these questions should lie in the Bone Reef Sea. Whether it's the 'Sea Warrior's' real name or those strange memories."

"There are still fifty million high-grade spirit stones left."

Wei Xi added, "We still have fifty million high-grade spirit stones!"

The two, who were about to face a tough battle, cleaned up the mess and prepared to sleep until dawn.

Just then, the sound of pounding outside the window made Wei Xi tense up—could it be that the mastermind behind it all had appeared in the middle of the night?
The two girls, carrying their weapons, carefully pushed open the window.

A huge, two-tailed fairy pigeon stopped struggling, its beady eyes staring at Wei Xi, who was preparing to stab it with a crossbow bolt.

Qin Feng murmured, "Is it reasonable that I can see sorrow on its face?"

"Wasn't this thing something the Bird Bureau created? How could those birds and their offspring bear to release it?"

"Wait!" Qin Feng asked to pause, puzzled. "I don't remember this thing being this big! Can those people in the next yard afford to keep it?" The two-tailed fairy pigeon pulled a letter out of its tail and spat it into Wei Xi's hand.

The letter was written by Senior Brother Wei. It said that the water-repelling pills that Wei Xi needed had been prepared, and he enthusiastically recommended the "Sea-Going Pill Set" to his junior sisters and brothers. The set included a series of essential items for home and travel, such as Rongjing Pill, Locking-Warm Pill, Bright Night Water, and Antidote.

The thoughtful (money-grubbing) senior brother Wei An used a combination of bundled sales and forced buying, but the price was quite reasonable, obviously the internal price of the Qingcheng Sect.

They only charged their junior brothers and sisters 10,000 high-grade spirit stones for a month's supply for the three of them, with postage to be paid separately.

Regarding the postage, Senior Brother Wei specifically explained: The bird breeders at the Bird Bureau acquired a pair of Red Magpies, who, for some unknown reason, started laying eggs at an alarming rate. The male and female were exhausted from incubating the eggs, so the Bird Bureau, with its distinctive Qingcheng School characteristics, had to dispose of a batch of birds that were too troublesome to care for, hoping to free up manpower for the important task of artificial incubation.

As a wealthy member of the Poor Ghost Sect, Wei An purchased several double-tailed fairy pigeons, hoping to solve the pain point of selling medicine remotely.

Medicine dealers like Senior Brother Wei An, who are solely focused on spirit stones, follow a development path of "covering all levels, from high-end to low-end, and focusing on both high-quality and large-volume products." Finding the initial load of the pigeon insufficient, Senior Brother Wei An conveniently fed it some medicine.

The good news is that the modified double-tailed fairy pigeon has doubled its cargo capacity; the bad news is that it has a huge appetite.

With the potential to be a shrewd businessman, Senior Brother Wei An conveniently shifted the costs onto consumers—he knew perfectly well which was more important, his junior sisters and brothers or cost control!
At the end of the letter, Senior Brother Wei An frankly expressed his hope that Junior Sister Wei, who had inexplicably become wealthy, would take good care of his business.

At the same time, Qin Feng tried to get the big fat pigeon into the house.

Such an act without damaging the window frame is clearly wishful thinking.

Fortunately, the big fat pigeon didn't care about such a small matter, it just cooed once and then stomped its feet twice.

Wei Xi, being astute, took out two standard boxes and then separately selected ten high-grade spirit stones to put into the brocade pouch hanging around the pigeon's neck.

The pigeon turned around impatiently, and then one of its white tail feathers shone brightly, revealing a large hole.

Wei Xi: Is it really that unique? A giant fat pigeon?
Seemingly a little impatient, the big, fat pigeon let out a short, sharp coo. The sound wasn't exactly melodious, but it certainly wasn't pleasant to hear.

With a mixture of belief and doubt, Wei Xi stuffed the spirit stone box into the illogical large hole, which then returned to the shape of tail feathers.

Another tail feather lit up, and this time Wei Xi easily pulled out a smaller box. Upon opening it, he found neatly arranged pills and glass bottles containing liquid medicine, with instructions clipped to the lid.

After the transaction was completed, the fat pigeon turned around and cawed at the two dumbfounded people.

Facing those dark little eyes, Wei Xi tactfully fetched a teacup and then requisitioned Ling Yin's snacks before finally getting rid of Senior Brother Wei An's fat pigeon.

"These birds are from the neighbor's yard?" Qin Feng asked in great shock. "Did they raise them? Or has Senior Brother Wei already ascended to immortality?"

Looking at the vast expanse of white against the night sky, Wei Xi laughed and said, "Who knows?"

"However, do you think its feathers might be filled with a lot of pills?"
