Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 471 Defective Products

Whenever faced with such a predicament where he had to risk his life to try and fail, Wei Xi always praised his own foresight and wisdom.

Becoming a weapon refiner—what a wise choice!

Even if Wei clears out all the puppets in her inventory, she can still conjure up a few more to fight for her in Deadwater City.

"I can't possibly take it myself," Wei Xi thought to himself. "I have no obligation to risk my life!"

In Deadwater City, which once dominated the region with its weapon crafting expertise, finding suitable materials was a piece of cake, and Wei even took the opportunity to stock up on quite a lot of them.

Wei Xi is such a meticulous and thrifty person when it comes to managing her household finances.

With business at hand, Wei Xi wasn't completely blinded by greed. Once he had gathered the materials, he began crafting the puppet.

Now Wei Xi has quite a bit of experience in weapon forging, and starting a furnace at the bottom of the sea is a piece of cake for him.

According to Elder Xianhua's exclusive teachings, the three most important aspects of weapon crafting are ideas, material selection, and fire control.

During his studies in prison, Wei Xi wrote in his notes: "The way of weapon crafting values ​​thought and refines technique." This means that the most valuable thing for a weapon craftsman is the idea of ​​designing magical artifacts.
Regarding the selection of raw materials, Elder Xianhua instructed Wei Xi not to blindly pursue the best, but to choose materials that are compatible with each other and have suitable functions. In fact, some radical sects even believe that weapon refiners may destroy certain precious materials.

The art of fire control is vast; different materials, formations, techniques, and processes all require different flames. It is said that the fire control techniques of weapon refiners are closely guarded secrets. The patriarch of the Duan Ye Sect is said to be the third disciple of a powerful figure. The three brothers fell out over the sect's fire control techniques, which led to the formation of the Duan Ye Sect.

The burn marks on his palm, both old and new, prove that Wei Xi has achieved some success in controlling fire.

Those furnaces that Wei blew up expressed their agreement.

According to Qin Feng's investigation, there are five key points in the formation, corresponding to the tall buildings in the northeast corner of the city, the building complex in the southwest corner, a large smelting furnace in the east, and two constantly moving points outside the city.

Therefore, Wei Xi hand-crafted five refined iron puppets.

"No disrespect intended for your craftsmanship," Qin Feng said, lifting a scorching hot lump of iron with one hand, full of doubt. "Can this thing block the spiritual energy in the magic array?"

Wei Xi withdrew the flames, his eyes narrowing slightly like a little fox.

"Can't stop it."

During Qin Feng's silence, Wei Xi added, "They don't need to block it."

Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded. After hesitating for a moment, he resolutely refused, saying, "I can't stop it either! The spiritual energy in the southwest corner alone is unfathomable. I now suspect that Dead Water City has done something to accumulate so much spiritual energy in the city."

Wei Xi glanced at Qin Feng, and a pale yellow flame appeared in his palm.

It is the flame that represents the ability to quench thirst and quench drought.

"Have you ever thought about why Yu Xianzhou built his lair here? And why, after the era of demon beasts ended, Zuo Fei built Dead Water City here?"

Without hesitation, Qin Feng declared, "The Great Green Moon Tide!"

A stiff smile appeared on Wei Xi's face as he pressed on, "What exactly is the Green Moon Tide for?"

Having exchanged experiences with Wei Xi, Qin Feng simply said, "Don't you already know this? The imbalance of Yin and Yang energies triggered the Green Moon Tide, which was actually the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao descending to regulate the Yin and Yang energies."

"Didn't the Dongyi monsters decline in the same way thousands of years ago?"

Wei Xi, still smiling, nodded and said, "Since the Heavenly Dao has subdued the demonic beasts, why did Yu Xianzhou trigger more than one Green Moon Tide?"

This question stumped Qin Feng.

Wei Xi continued, "If Heaven can subdue demonic beasts, why isn't Zuo Fei, with her mediocre skills, worried about repeating the same mistake and still choosing this location to build Dead Water City?" Despite missing a crucial memory, Wei Xi still keenly discovered the inexplicable doubts within this narrative.

Ultimately, both Bone Reef Sea and Chongxiao City face excessive risks.

Only sufficiently great benefits can attract demonic beasts and make cultivators take risks.

The advantage of Chongxiao City is that it can monopolize the mass production of cultivators in the Black Abyss.

Deadwater City inherited the legacy of the monsters and found a similar abyss.

The heavens have their warp and weft, the earth bears its deepest abyss, and the two energies of yin and yang each find their proper place.

Wei Xi thought that Yu Xianzhou was indeed not lying; it did have a way to evade the laws and regulations of heaven and earth.

The abyss outside Deadwater City is Yu Xianzhou's trump card.

After hearing Wei Xi's explanation, Qin Feng almost couldn't stop his jaw dropping. "That's not right. Why would Yu Xianzhou create so many Green Moon Tides for no reason?"

"Do you remember how the silt and drought came about?"

"Yu Xianzhou stripped away the abilities of other demonic beasts and bestowed them upon his own creations." Qin Feng's eyes widened suddenly. "No! How did they survive?"

“Yu Xianzhou has a much deeper understanding of the universe than we do. Tailbrook can only hide in the refining furnace in the face of the corresponding Green Moon Tide, but Luexi and the others can act arrogantly outside without any problems.”

Wei Xi sneered, "Yu Xianzhou is incredibly capable; he actually managed to get the Heavenly Dao to acknowledge these demonic beasts under his command."

"You mean," Qin Feng followed Wei Xi's train of thought, "that Yu Xianzhou made the Heavenly Dao mistake Luexi for another demonic beast?"

“To be precise, it’s a demonic beast with corresponding abilities,” Wei Xi said, fiddling with the flame in his hand, the flowers inside shifting between life and death. “Yu Xianzhou must have used some other method to erase itself from the Heavenly Dao, otherwise it wouldn’t have attracted the pursuit of the Heavenly Principles after its name was exposed.”

“In that case, it makes sense that Wei Lu imprisoned itself here. No matter how powerful Zuo Fei is, it will die one day,” Wei Xi’s tone turned sinister. “It is a defective product that is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao. How dare it leave Dongyi?”

Wei Xi even had a darker idea—the tailed beast impersonated Yu Xianzhou and made a bet with him just to use this demon's identity.

Thinking about it this way, the environment for raising demons in Dongyi is truly worrying.

Qin Feng nodded repeatedly, but still asked the most pressing question: "So how do we escape Deadwater City?"

Wei Xi blinked. "What do you think about me summoning the Heavenly Dao to clash with it?"

Someone else might have thought Wei Xi was crazy, but Qin Feng only cared about how to do it.

According to Wei, this was actually a clumsy imitation of Yu Xianzhou.

First, Wei Xi used the [Thread Puppets] technique to place five refined iron puppets within the formation. The movement had to be quick, and the landings had to be precise.

Next, the five puppets, whose bodies are filled with Yin-Yang energy (voluntarily contributed by a certain red thread), will trigger the formation's counterattack.

Wei Xi's goal was not to acquire a large amount of spiritual energy, but to transform it into yin and yang energy.

The moment the formation's counterattack was triggered, Wei Xi aimed the flames leaping from his palm at the formation.

It must be said that the abilities of the demonic beasts are extremely powerful.

The spiritual energy accumulated by Deadwater City over thousands of years was thus transformed into Yin-Yang energy, while the Yin-Yang energy that Wei Xi extracted from [Tethered Silk]'s mouth was instantly annihilated after being converted into spiritual energy.

Wei Xi is really like a demon. The formation of Dead Water City has been fine for thousands of years, but with her underhanded tricks, the ancient formation that has been around for thousands of years is gone!
