Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Anyone else would probably be terrified and wet themselves upon hearing this.

But Wei Xi's first reaction was, "How did this thing know my real name?" and his second reaction was, "What is this thing on me?"
After all, he had too many strange things about him, so his vague, charlatanical, unfounded, and unsubstantiated statements made it difficult for him to gain Wei Xi's trust.

【Tethered Silk】, 【Essence】, 【Tears of a Dried-Up Sea】. Oh, and there's also his beloved pet, Lingyin. Everyone who sees it has to exclaim, "How strange!" This passage, mentioned out of the blue, really leaves Wei Xi wondering which one is more sinister.

As for whether there was anything she didn't know about on her, Wei Xi had considered it, but for the time being, there was nothing unusual, and as long as it didn't prevent her from causing trouble, that was fine.

At worst, he would just have to pay Lian Gou's skin again. Having come to terms with it, Wei Xi got up and became even more focused, heading straight for his target, completely ignoring the death knell-like cries.

Furthermore, I inexplicably lost a piece of my memory. Who knows if it was the power of that monster? Since it can seize memories, how could it not use those memories to create a trap tailored to my needs?
Thinking of this, Wei Xi became even bolder: these demonic beasts have been trapped in the Bone Reef Sea for so many years, they probably no longer have the world-destroying power they once had, they can only pretend to be gods and ghosts to scare him, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, they are not even willing to come out and fight a real battle.

"This is no longer the world of Yin and Yang energies," Wei Xi thought to himself. "If they really come out, I won't just beat them to a pulp, I'll make them confess where they hid all the good stuff they looted."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

It is clear that Wei Xi is not very wise; all he has done in his cultivation has been to unleash his greed.

Seeing Wei Xi climbing with great enthusiasm, showing no signs of fear, the tone of her voice changed, each word filled with genuine emotion, like a new bride calling for her husband, or a widow longing for her wandering child.

Wei Xi, already annoyed, couldn't take it anymore. As they approached the cave entrance, he yelled, "You damned bastard! Say one more word and I'll knock your teeth out!"

These words, spoken with a harsh Xizhou accent, were both fierce and ruthless. Coupled with Wei Xi's vicious expression, they were quite lethal.

At least the noise stopped. After a moment, he started sobbing.

Wei Xi's eyebrows furrowed into a knot as he threatened, "Cry? One slap for every one!"

"You're too fierce! I'm going to tell Third Brother! I'll have him skin you alive and tear you apart!"

Despite his crawling posture, Wei Xi's attitude was incredibly arrogant. He sneered, "Yu Han? Let me tell you, your brother is long gone! I'd rather skin him alive and tear him to pieces, and then I'll take you with me!"

Lies came out of his mouth without hesitation, but Wei Xi was certain that this monster was simple-minded and incomparable to the cunning Yu Han.

"What's wrong with Third Brother?" the voice asked urgently. "It hasn't come to see me in so long! Is it sick?"

Wei Xi struggled to suppress a laugh: A powerful demon who roamed the Western Regions could fall ill? Just what kind of image does this guy have inside?
Or does Yuhan simply prefer this kind of persona?

Before Wei Xi could continue his charade, the voice murmured, "That's not right. If you were sick, why were you summoned? Has the Demon Leader of Nanjiang made a mistake?"

This is strange, Wei Xi thought to himself. This monster knows his name, yet it still regards him as someone from Nanjiang.

“I’m not here to cure diseases and save lives,” Wei Xi said calmly, appearing quite trustworthy. “But Yu Han is definitely in deep trouble.” Hearing this, the voice suddenly tightened. “You! No wonder it sent you! It can’t bear to part with our skills, so it’s trying to strip us of our memories?”

Deprive him of his memories? Wei Xi suddenly remembered Lord Bai's mission.

Help the Eastern Yi demon leader strip Zuo Fei of her memories.

Why does this sound like it? Is this memory-stealing ability some kind of incredible skill? Or is it just that blockhead's unique ability in Nanjiang?

"Could it be," Wei Xi looked down at his wrist, which was covered in scrapes and grit, without a trace of the red line, and thought to himself, "that piece of wood, the 'id,' has switched with my consciousness?"

"Could it be that my memories are the hands and feet of the Immortal Wood?"

"And 'reluctant to part with our abilities,' does that mean the Eastern Yi demon chief is reluctant to part with the abilities of Luexi and the other five?"

Wei Xi had a feeling that the answer to the second question might be the secret of the Bone Reef Sea that had existed for thousands of years.

Having made his plan, Wei Xi used a combination of coaxing and deception to extract a considerable amount of useful information from the little monster. Although he couldn't yet distinguish between truth and falsehood, the general outline was as follows:

First, demonic beasts differ from later human cultivators; their abilities are mostly innate. Therefore, conflicts among demonic beasts almost always end in the death of one side, as revealing their unique skills would be fatal. Furthermore, demonic beasts can use yin and yang energy to cast spells.
Among the demonic beasts, only the Long-lived Wood Demon Leader of the Southern River can interfere with memories;
Secondly, just as Wei Xi predicted, the beasts like Luexi were tools created by the Eastern Yi demon chief to alleviate the imbalance of Yin and Yang within his body, and they would be taken back when the time was right. Now, the fifth demon beast is about to be born, and the deaths of the others are imminent;

Yu Han already harbored many grievances against the demon leader, and now that his life and death were at stake, he naturally harbored rebellious thoughts and plotted for many years to kill the demon leader and establish his own mountain stronghold.
Finally, the Green Moon Tide was not an unusual phenomenon at the birth of the demon beast, but rather a necessary procedure. However, only the Eastern Yi Demon Chief himself knew exactly what was going on.

As for why Yuhan allied with this fool, Wei Xi could understand it: judging from Luexi's behavior, he could be said to be extremely loyal to the Eastern Yi demon leader; Tanxian's fate was unknown, and Yuhan didn't even ask a single question, which showed that their relationship was really bad.
Wei Xi had seen the version of the Devouring Sun Beast a thousand years later, and it really wasn't going to amount to much. The best thing he could do was to leave it alone.

The one by the ear, though a bit naive, is easy to fool; moreover, it has the advantageous opportunity of being about to be born, no wonder Yu Han wants to win it over.

"Hmph," Wei Xi said in a mocking tone, "Since you seem rather honest, I'll say a few words from my heart. What business is it of our Nanjiang how you Dongyi cause trouble? Some things can be overlooked if we just turn a blind eye."

"Yes, yes, it must have been a long journey for you to come all the way from Nanjiang," the voice changed direction and hurriedly said, "These dirty things are really not presentable. When the time comes, you can make friends with Third Brother, and naturally there will be better things to bring back to talk about."

Wei Xi nodded in satisfaction—according to its own account, this monster had been sentient for nearly two hundred years. Although it was rather simple-minded, it could still understand things like bribery.

"But why did your third brother send me in here?"

The voice answered instinctively, "Eat," but then realized it was wrong and abruptly changed its tone, "You'll regret this!"

Wei Xi cursed Yu Han's heartlessness inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, casually asking, "What's your name? And what are your skills?"

"Weilü, my name is Weilü." (End of Chapter)
