Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

It is human nature to want more after getting what one desires.

Wei Xi threw down his pen, wrapped himself in the blanket, and fell asleep immediately. Even in his dream, he couldn't help but chase after Yu Xianzhou, demanding more authority from it.

Wei Xi only slowly woke up after Qin Feng shook her awake.

Qin Feng was carrying Gao Han on his back, his forehead radiating cold air, as if he had just given a thorough morning lesson.

"What about the memory you cut off...?"

Wei Xifu closed his eyes again. "You've taken it back. Aren't you going back to sleep?"

"Wake up!" Qin Feng yanked the covers off. "The Myriad Swords Sect is holding a sect meeting this afternoon, get up now!"

"Isn't it afternoon? Why are you calling me now?" Wei Xi tried to snatch back the blanket, but Ling Yin, equally drowsy, rolled off her head. "Don't we know what the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is trying to say? Let me sleep!"

The impartial Qin Feng said firmly, "It's almost noon, and you still haven't done your morning practice! It was one thing before, but now that you've reached the Core Formation stage! What will become of you if you don't diligently cultivate?"

"Besides, Elder Flower is waiting to see you!"

Upon catching the name on the thigh, Wei Xi leaped up, and without even opening his eyes, began to use magic to groom himself before running out.

"Wait a minute! Xiao west, you forgot your bird!"

Qin Feng grabbed the sleepy-eyed furball and chased after Wei Xi, thinking he would have to chase her all the way to Xianhua Gate, but unexpectedly he saw her walking back from afar.

Qin Feng: ?

Wei Xi hesitated for a moment, then took Lingyin from Qin Feng as he passed by.

Completely bewildered, Qin Feng even suspected that the Wei Xi in front of him was a memory.

Wei Xi was quite conflicted at this moment: his physical constitution and qi palace had improved, and according to their agreement, Xian Hua should have accepted him as a disciple in fact; the problem was whether or not he should tell him that he had already formed his core.

This wasn't due to Wei Xi's suspicion, but rather out of caution.

Wei Xi was worried that if news of his Core Formation were leaked, it would attract more enemies.

“It’s not uncommon for someone to form their core outside of Dieji Mountain; at worst, they’ll be branded as someone who’s followed crooked paths. But to encounter someone forming their core in the Bone Reef Sea… it’s still unknown which side those cultivators behind those vacant positions will be on.”

Back in his room, Wei Xi brewed himself a strong pot of tea and began to reassess the risks of revealing the information to Xian Hua.

"Human hearts are fickle. The biggest flaw in Zuo Fei's plan is whether the descendants who receive the bone marrow will choose the same path."

As for Wei Xi, if she hadn't been destined to be a mortal enemy of the Heavenly Dao through the [Cause and Effect], she would have already lied and run away.

"It's a pity that Zuo Fei didn't think things through. If it were me, I would have made some oaths on the bone marrow, or at the very least, I would have gone to Nanjiang to find some Gu worms. If even one of them disobeyed, I would have destroyed it instead of letting it go!"

"Judging from the number of missing bone fish, even with the tailbone's various obstacles, quite a few people still managed to escape Deadwater City. The fact that the cultivation world hasn't heard a word about it for so many years shows that everyone is not stupid and has kept their whereabouts completely hidden."

A chill crept up Wei Xi's spine and up to the top of his head.

This feeling is absolutely terrible: everyone you pass by may be carrying the same secret, and every pair of eyes that meet may be hiding murderous intent.

"The fact that a cultivator from a prestigious sect has formed his core outside of Dieji Mountain is bound to cause discussion. Anyone with a keen eye will find out that this matter is connected to the Bone Reef Sea. Then I will become an obvious target!" Wei Xi suddenly raised his hand and drank the strong tea in his cup in one gulp, clearly angered.

It wasn't that Wei Xi was timid or afraid of trouble; it was simply that the situation didn't allow her to flaunt herself in public.

Firstly, Wei Xi had just formed her core. Although she was already a proper cultivator, there were always people more skilled than her. It was only natural that those cultivators who had entered Deadwater City early on had attained enlightenment and possessed profound cultivation. If they met on a narrow path, her chances of survival would be slim.

Secondly, we must be wary of the Yihua organization to which You Lanjing belongs. This organization is ruthless and hunts down cultivators with high purity of innate talent. Furthermore, we have Chi Pei as our informant, who already knows that Wei Xi was nearby when the incident occurred. If they find out what happened in Zhongyuan, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thirdly, there are the mysterious and unpredictable Weavers of Heaven. This group of "people" are the henchmen of the Heavenly Dao. Even experts like Yan Ci avoid mentioning them, which shows how powerful they are and how ruthless they are. In their eyes, Wei Xi is undoubtedly the best achievement.

"This is really bad," Wei Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I'm in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place!"

After a night of merriment, Wei Xi finally saw through the poison hidden beneath the sugar coating.

"It seems I have no choice but to go to Dieji Mountain this time, at least to make the matter of Core Formation public."

"Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi are both trustworthy and know what's going on. As for Elder Xian Hua, since I intend to become his disciple, it's not good to hide the fact that I've formed my core. I'll conceal all of Zuo Fei's plans and just say that I formed my core by chance, and that the [Tethering Silk] was obtained from Baoxiang City."

"Yihua. Take advantage of the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to suppress them. At that time, Chi Pei will be too busy to take care of himself, so that he won't have to hold him back at every turn."

After making up his mind, Wei Xi asked Ling Yin, who had eaten and drunk her fill, to bring Lian Gouhan over, and the three of them, including Qin Feng, discussed the matter.

With everything prepared, Wei Xi finally paid a visit.

Xian Hua's room was extremely spacious, with five or six huge wooden parts in the middle. Two brushes dipped in copper glue were carefully applying glue to the parts. Xian Hua, meanwhile, was reclining in a deck chair with his legs crossed, scribbling on a blueprint.

"Disciple Wei Xi greets Master!"

"Just woke up?"

Wei Xi smiled and said, "I took some time to freshen up before coming over. It's my fault for keeping Master waiting."

“You call him ‘Master’ so affectionately,” Xian Hua said, pointing to a round stool for Wei Xi to sit down. “It seems you’ve resolved the issues with your Qi Palace and Root Bone.”

Wei Xi nodded slightly and said slowly, "Although it was not in the plan, I had some fortuitous encounters and have now formed my core."

Upon hearing this, Xian Hua's gaze finally fell on Wei Xi, who forced a harmless smile.

"Who knows about this?" Xian Hua asked as she reinforced the room's protective array. "Do the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect know?"

With his mind at ease, Wei Xi honestly replied, "Only Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi remain, and now there is also my master."

“You three are really something… Never mind!” Xian Hua sat up straight and placed the blueprints on the table beside her. “How did you manage to hide it from Xiao Pingting? I don’t believe she didn’t see your Qi Mansion.”

Wei Xi took out a piece of black wood, as black as ink, and handed it to Xian Hua.

"This is..." Xian Hua's expression changed drastically as she received the [Essence]. "Where did you find such a divine tree? This wood is no ordinary material; it can suppress my inherent strength by a significant margin!"

Wei Xi knew that Xian Hua was one of the world's top weapon refiners, so his eyesight was naturally excellent. It was no surprise that he could see the extraordinary nature of [The True Self].

After hearing Wei Xi's general experience in Nanjiang, Xian Hua nodded and said, "So it's a remnant of an ancient demon beast. No wonder it has some strange abilities. Your efforts weren't in vain." (End of Chapter)
