Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 411 Getting Stranger

Once this idea was put into practice, both Wei and Qin felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun had shone through.

Which is more credible than the ethereal legends of sects and genuine ancient city ruins?
Qin Feng's face was full of anticipation as he looked up at Wei Xi and asked, "How valuable do you think the blueprints and these...records are?"

Wei Xi climbed down the coral wall effortlessly, patted the dust off his face with his tail, and said softly, "This wall records the end of the ancient city's existence, and the tone is more like that of a later person than a person who experienced it firsthand."

Qin Feng has always been straightforward, and with people around her spoiling her, she didn't even hesitate before saying, "Fake?"

Wei Xi shook his head and reminded her, "There is more than one tenth princess in the world."

"You mean, these records were left behind by some force over the years?"

Wei Xi nodded. "If the Tenth Princess's people can leave a will, why can't other forces?"

"So many people, who could possibly cause such a commotion in Bone Reef Sea?"

Wei Xi stopped talking, slowly straightened his body, looked around, and roughly got a sense of what was going on.

Beneath the absurd appearance lies the simplest truth—the problem lies in the ring she seized.

There are slight differences in what is seen and heard with and without the ring.

The difficulty lies in discerning the truth from the falsehood.

In some ways, Wei Xi is a down-to-earth person: she firmly believes that her feet can only stand on one piece of land.

So Wei Xi's left and right brains engaged in a grand and bizarre debate, arguing fiercely about what constitutes reality.

As everyone knows, the ultimate result of struggling with oneself is going insane. Physiologically speaking, if Wei Xi continues to think like this, she will most likely turn into a crazy woman.

Fortunately, Wei Xi managed to extricate herself from the debate over authenticity in time, and she made a quick decision with a simple and pragmatic approach.

Whether it's true or false, as long as it works.

Unaware of the danger, Wei Xi narrowed his vertical pupils and began to take the lead, seizing all the information he had obtained and using it for his own purposes.

Clearly, given the premise of saving his life, Wei Xi's core objectives in the Bone Reef Sea are only two: first, to find the true name of the "Sea Warrior"; and second, to fulfill the Tenth Princess's request.

The former refers to Wei Xi's petty hobbies of snatching food from a tiger's mouth and obtaining pearls from a phoenix, while the latter stems from his moral obligation not to take advantage of others.

Furthermore, given the precedent of the slug swarm, Wei Xi didn't think the Sea Warriors were easy to talk to. If they couldn't find their names, he and Qin Feng might really perish here.

Therefore, Wei Xi's ranking was based entirely on priorities and urgency, and he had absolutely no intention of acting opportunistically or taking money without doing any work if things didn't go well.

After carefully reviewing the clues at hand, Wei Xi constructed a plausible hypothesis.

Long, long ago, there was an ancient city in the deep sea of ​​Dongyi. This ancient city had a high level of expertise in at least the crafting of metals (or magical artifacts?).

Unfortunately, glass is fragile, and colorful clouds are easily scattered. The ancient city could not escape the fate of falling apart. The Devouring Beast, which had not yet been tamed by the Zhenhai Sect, became the last straw that broke the camel's back, swallowing the remnants of the ancient city who carried its heritage, which benefited Wei Xi, who happened to be there by chance.

Those survivors turned into mindless, wandering corpses, becoming puppets of the Devouring Beast.

The ruins of the ancient city were submerged by the sea, becoming what the mermaids called a dead water city filled with corpses and traps.

Considering the various strange beings in the cultivation world and the highly advanced smelting technology of the ancient city, it is not surprising that bone-colored corals grow near the ruins of the ancient city.

Even more concerning, the perilous Bone Reef Sea might be a still-functioning defensive fortification of the ancient city. Over the centuries, various forces have obtained fragments of information through various channels, organized personnel to explore the Bone Reef Sea, and thus discovered the value of Deadwater City, giving rise to a desire to seize it.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi grinned: If it really was so, he had really hit the jackpot and obtained a part of the Deadwater City's inheritance from the trial grounds.

As for the oar demons, sea serpents, passages, and rings, they can be categorized as defensive fortifications of the ancient city, or as tampering done by later generations.

In short, Wei Xi now dwells on the corpses of his predecessors, becoming a glorious corpse digger.

What they excavated was the remains of the Deadwater City, a civilization that was dead but not yet dead.

While Wei Xi was pondering this, Qin Feng wasn't idle either. She wagged her tail, the rings on it swaying rhythmically, crawling around trying to find the [Fish Intestine] to make contact with the outside world.

Unfortunately, this attempt was destined to fail. Her beloved Gao Handu had vanished without a trace. How could she possibly find the magical artifact that was stored in the Qiankun Bag?
Trapped on the snake's body, Qin Feng felt somewhat discouraged and turned to look at Wei Xi. He saw the latter looking up at the coral wall, lost in thought.

Unable to contact the outside world and unable to read, Qin Feng felt increasingly powerless and regretted leaving Lian Gou on the shore.

However, Qin Changchang was exceptionally talented, and his injuries had begun to heal. His Qi Palace, which had been depleted in the previous battle with the giant snake, was now filled with some spiritual energy.

Qin Feng's spirits lifted—this godforsaken place actually has spiritual energy that can be used for cultivation! Truly, there's always a way out!

The next moment, Qin Feng's joy was halved—it was too slow!

Although Qin Feng prided herself on her exceptional talent, the truth she gained through practice after multiple verifications was also true. This was manifested in the fact that ever since she learned how to guide Qi into her body, whenever she stood there, spiritual energy would surge into her Qi Palace like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, seamlessly transforming into surging spiritual power.

It can be said that as long as there is a gap in Qin Feng's Qi Palace, spiritual energy will rush in impatiently.

With such an absurd conversion efficiency, it was hard for Qin Feng not to notice the abnormality within himself.

Qin Feng's eyes darted around, and he felt that either the spiritual energy nearby was very thin, or there was something wrong with his body.

Qin Feng, who was still trying to adapt to the snake body, reacted immediately. She bent down, gathered her strength, and sprang to Wei Xi's side.

"Xiao Xi, has your spiritual power recovered?"

Wei Xi, who felt he had taken too much medicine, hadn't thought about this at all. Hearing this, he thought Qin Feng had almost recovered and finally had a guarantee. He subconsciously patted the ground with his tail.

"How much of your spiritual power has recovered?"

Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Qin Feng honestly replied, "It's only a little bit. It might be due to the limitations of the snake's body, or a problem with the surrounding environment... Now that I don't have the Qiankun bag on me, taking pills to replenish my spiritual energy is not an option..."

Wei Xi hadn't expected this. Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, he immediately said, "That kind of medicine is ultimately bad for your health. Your path to immortality is bright, so there's no need for you to take medicine. If it affects your future cultivation, then it's not worth it."

“Besides, we’re not at our wits’ end,” Wei Xi said, examining his own Qi Palace. “There’s a lot of information engraved on this coral wall; something from it will surely come in handy…”

Qin Feng, who had been hanging his head, heard Wei Xi fall silent and quickly looked up.

Wei Xi's expression was strange, as if he had seen the sect leader "reform and turn over a new leaf," and he looked incredulous.

"What happened to you? Did they find out you have a hidden injury?"

Qin Feng's concerned voice brought Wei back to her senses. She stammered, "...Strange...My Qi Palace...is full of spiritual energy..."

Stopping updates was definitely not an option; I'm vomiting and having diarrhea today... I repent...
