Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 5: Flood destroys Dragon King Temple

After nearly three months on the road, they finally reached the border of Qingzhou. Only then did Zhao Dazui let go of the cow that was too old to eat grass.

We are about to arrive at Qingzhou City, the capital of Qingzhou. There is no drought or locusts covering the sky here, but unfortunately Qingzhou City suffered a snowstorm this year.

Qingzhou, located in the far north, is covered in snow for five months of the year. Its population is sparse, and most farmers rely on hunting or manual labor to eke out a living.

In addition, the taxes levied by Zhongzhou have become increasingly heavy in recent years, and life in Qingzhou has become increasingly difficult. The Lord of the Prefecture has already turned gray with worry at the age of thirty.

Winter came early this year, and several heavy snowfalls destroyed a batch of crops that had not been harvested in time, crushed many old houses in the subordinate county towns, and blocked roads in several remote villages.

The Qingcheng Sect was entrenched... no, surviving in Qingzhou, and most of its disciples were sent to carry out disaster relief. This was also the reason why two cultivators who had just been in the sect for five years went to various places to recruit disciples.

Unfortunately, Zhao Dazui and Lin Yinghao couldn't get any good seedlings. Including the poisonous bully given to them by Huaixin faction, the two of them only brought back six people.

The closer he got to the sect, the more nervous Zhao Dazui became, and the more nervous he became, the more he ate.

He had already eaten up the three bags of beef jerky that Chen Zhou bribed him with.

In addition, Zhao Dazui's cultivation level was indeed not high. He was worried that he would not be able to protect these children along the way, and he even snored several times when he slept. This made Lin Yinghao, who took turns to keep watch with him, lose a lot of fun.

To minimize risk, Zhao Dazui had the children sit in the car—he'd already encountered kidnappers several times. Now that Sanguang and Yichong refused to sit with Qin Feng, the man who'd "called us names and slashed our crotches with a sword," Zhao Dazui had no choice but to have them sit outside.

With their nerves tense, the group finally arrived at Yizhangyuan, the summit of the Qingcheng Sect, before sunset.

"Alright," Zhao Dazui carried the youngest, Wei Xi, out of the car. "This is the mountaintop of our Qingcheng Sect, the famous Yizhangyuan."

"Why did we stop at the foot of the mountain?"

"Famous? I think it's infamous!"

"Why is it called Yizhangyuan?"

Zhao Dazui had a terrible headache. He glared at Qin Feng who was hugging Wei Xi, and answered the questions of these malnourished kids one by one.

"Because cultivating immortality requires a strong will. If you can't even endure the hardship of climbing a mountain, you won't become an immortal."

"Qin Feng, let me tell you again that you are also a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect."

"The snow on this mountain can reach a depth of ten feet in winter. Locals call it the Ten-foot-high Snowfield. Since everyone found it troublesome, it became the Ten-foot-high Snowfield. Now shut up and climb the mountain!"

"Nonsense, nonsense, and still nonsense!" Qin Feng announced loudly.

She let go of Wei Xi's shoulders, pointed at the top of the mountain, and raised an eyebrow. "How can cultivating immortality be achieved through suffering? The Hehuan Sect in the Western Regions didn't suffer at all. The Immortal Master Yifa of Nanjiang ascended to heaven after just a dream."

"If you ask me, cultivating immortals depends on talent and opportunity, but most importantly, people. You're just saying that you can't bring all of us up! You're kidding!"

Zhao Dazui shrugged his shoulders. Qin Feng was hurt by his complete lack of dignity and his tone became excited.

"Am I a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect? I'm a disciple of the Dignity Sect! Oh my God! Don't you have any sense of shame?"

"No, if there is, it's because my mind is unstable." These words came from the bottom of his heart. After Zhao Dazui finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yinghao, who gave him a look of disgust.

"Alright, whoever climbs up first will be the first to have dinner! Let's get climbing!"

Qin Feng wanted to fold her arms and sneer, but before she could get into position, she saw Wei Xi rushing forward without hesitation, and she hurried to chase after him.

"What are you doing? Running so fast?" Wei Xi didn't even look at Qin Feng, just rubbing her stomach twice in response. Qin Feng cursed and held Wei Xi down. Wei Xi was still thinking about dinner, so the strong Qin Feng could only control her.

"I give up. Don't you see how cold this place is? Where are you from?"

While Qin Feng was scolding Wei Xi, he took out a whole piece of leather from his bag, drew his sword and cut it into two pieces, took off Wei Xi's straw sandals, and wrapped the leather around her feet.

"I don't know how to sew, but I do have some leather. I'll go up the mountain and ask someone to make you a pair of boots."

Wei Xi stepped on the snow a few times and stopped Qin Feng who was about to throw away his straw sandals. She tied the sandals to her belt and pulled Qin Feng towards the mountain gate.

When they reached the mountain gate, several people were already exhausted and panting. Just as they were about to take a break, they heard a shout of "Get out of the way!"

When the six children looked up, they saw a water dragon breaking through the mountain gate.

Wei Xi pulled Qin Feng to the side, while Sanguan and Yichong were still standing there in a daze. Lin Yinghao rushed up from behind and hugged them to avoid the water dragon.

The water dragon directly broke through the mountain gate. Its momentum was so strong that it rushed dozens of feet away in this cold winter before stopping.

Wei Xi, who was lying in the snow, spat out the snow that choked his mouth. Looking down the mountain, he saw that the traces of the water dragon had frozen into a slide.

Wei Xi came to his senses and dug Qin Feng out of the snow.

Qin Feng was two years older than Wei Xi, and he wasn't as pale and skinny as Wei Xi. He dug a big hole in the snow, and Wei Xi had to dig it out with great effort.

At this time, Lin Yinghao rushed over to check on the two girls. He helped Wei Xi pull Qin Feng out.

Qin Feng held her sword tightly, her face covered with snow. Wei Xi slapped her back hard, and she coughed out the snow in her mouth.

"Damn it, it must be that bastard Hu Lai," Zhao Dazui shouted as he was leading the cow below. He was worried that the cow was walking slowly, and now the cow refused to move its noble hooves onto the ice.

"He must have been punished. My senior sisters and the others went down the mountain to help with disaster relief, but he was still making trouble on the mountain!"

Qin Feng opened his eyes and opened his mouth to curse, but he didn't know what to curse, so he could only let the cold air enter his mouth.

The rice bug among the three lights and one bug crawled over and grabbed the hem of Lin Yinghao's clothes, crying, "Brother Lin, can I go home? I don't want to cultivate anymore!"

Lin Yinghao rarely had a bad face. He didn't even look at the rice bug whose tears and snot were frozen on his face. He picked up the sword and planned to capture the culprit.

It’s no wonder that Lin Yinghao was angry, as the gate of Qingcheng Sect was directly destroyed in this disaster.

Although the two wooden doors were not worth much, their remains were scattered everywhere. People who knew that the Qingcheng Sect was washed away by the flood thought that the Qingcheng Sect had been wiped out.

"Zhao Dazui, shut up! I can hear your nonsense from eight hundred miles away."

Hearing the sound, several people looked towards the screen wall and saw a young man carrying a broom coming out from behind. His hair was messy and his gray Taoist robe was worn crookedly.

When he saw Wei Xi and the other rascals, his eyes lit up and he shook the broom on his shoulder.

"Look, the flood has destroyed the Dragon King Temple, and new people have joined the Qingcheng Sect. What a great day!"
