Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 516 Favor
The isolated rune on the soft armor gradually faded until the surface of the armor returned to a smooth surface, as if it had never been engraved.

"This soft armor can be restored!" Wei Xi blurted out. "Could it be that it was made with the Tears of a Wraith?"

Before Xian Hua could answer, Wei Xi rejected his own answer.

"No, the Tears of a Wraith can only reverse the flow once. If it were the Tears of a Wraith, Master wouldn't waste it on a demonstration!"

At this moment, Wei Xi's eyes were clear, filled with a thirst for knowledge about weapon crafting.

"It seems you've diligently mastered the notes I gave you," Xian Hua said with satisfaction. "You even remembered such an obscure point as 'Tears of a Wraith,' and you can explain in detail where things are amiss."

"This disciple has only learned the general idea. When the ancient monster Lone Spring Bird stopped in the northern border, a fisherwoman obtained a piece of its feather. It grows a beak at night and can break through ten feet of ice to catch fish. The beak disappears when the sun rises."

"The fisherwoman then worked hard every night and reaped a great harvest. Her neighbor was extremely envious. He went out at night and returned at dawn, learned her secret method, killed the fisherwoman, cut open her belly to take the feathers, and threw her body into the river."

"When the neighbor returned home, he fed his young bird with feathers. The young bird also grew a beak, which grew to three feet long. It caught fish every night and could not sleep."

"Over the years, the boy's appearance became similar to that of the fisherwoman. The neighbors were terrified and fled to the riverbank, where they were pecked by birds and died without a burial place."

"Upon hearing her son's grievances, the villagers were greatly alarmed and retrieved fragments of bone from the river. A flock of birds snatched the bones, which transformed into a long-beaked fisherwoman. She and the neighbor's son ran away and disappeared without a trace. Later, a cultivator found her, and she had already become a flock of birds, named the Wraith Woman."

Wei Xi recalled the contents of the notes, "It is said that the power of the first generation of fisherwomen and neighbor children was inherited from the Lonely Spring Bird, which is mysterious and indescribable. The bloodline of the Wraith Women's race only stabilized after several generations, and their abilities were greatly reduced. Only the last tear before death has the function of reversing the flow."

"If it really is made from the tears of a wronged woman, then this set of soft armor is somewhat of a waste."

Xian Hua nodded in satisfaction and earnestly advised, "Good memory. A weapon refiner's skill is three-tenths in their brain, three-tenths in their craft, and three-tenths in their ability to travel all over the country to collect materials. Only by figuring out where these materials come from can you maximize their advantages."

"The Tears of a Wraith are tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away. Their effects are rare, but cultivators always have alternative methods."

"There's a bottle stored in Changzui Tower. When you take an order from one of those wealthy people in the mortal world, just go there and get it."

Xian Hua stroked the stubble on his chin and said to Wei Xi, "This skin has been soaked in juice twice. The first time was the juice spit out by the Phoenix Jade Silkworm, and the second time was the juice squeezed from the leaves of the Qiankun Tree."

When Wei Xi heard about the Phoenix Jade Silkworm, she could accept it calmly, but when she heard about the Qiankun Tree, her jaw almost dropped.

The Jade Silkworm of the Phoenix eats all kinds of jade from the old jade pit in Nanjiang, drinks the best spiritual liquid from the spiritual veins, catches grass seeds in the wind, and cultivates all kinds of creations. After thirty years, it spits out a spiritual herb that evolved from an ordinary grass. The juice it spits out is also a top-quality material. In addition to absorbing wood spiritual energy, the most precious thing is that it can nurture wood-attribute cultivators.

However, the Jade Silkworm of the Phoenix is ​​extremely domineering. It is not the breeding season, and there is only one Jade Silkworm within a hundred miles. Moreover, it grows in the lush vegetation of Nanjiang, making it very difficult to find. If you are unlucky or lack the strength, you may not be able to get a bottle of it even after several decades.

As for the Qiankun Tree, there is only one in the world, and it is also the only source of production for Qiankun Bags. The cultivation world cherishes it like the apple of their eye. The fact that Xian Hua was able to obtain its sap shows her strength and status.

"This is far too precious! Master, this disciple cannot accept such a gift!"

"What can't you bear?" Xian Hua pointed at the soft armor and laughed, "It was originally prepared for you. You are probably my only disciple in this life, so the gift for becoming a disciple should naturally be the best!"

"You have to admit you're lucky; your innate constitution is compatible with the wood element. If it were truly compatible with the fire element, I don't have any materials on hand that can compare to these."

Wei Xi could hear the care in Xian Hua's words, so he stopped being coy and thanked his master generously. "Back then, when I saw that your aptitude was weak, the juice of the Phoenix Jade Silkworm could help nourish your aptitude and slowly force out the impurities in your aptitude. Now that you have formed your core, the second wonder of this thing has become apparent."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I would be grateful for your guidance, Master!"

"Do you know where I caught this Jade Silkworm?" Xian Hua said with some pride, "This little thing was lying on a piece of Qingxue Jade the size of a palm, filling the Qingxue Jade with stones from the side."

"I spent seven days and seven nights investigating and figured out that the Jade Silkworm can restore the damaged parts to their original state, but it only consumes some spiritual energy."

Wei Xi exclaimed in admiration, "So that's how it is! No wonder the soft armor was able to recover completely just now!"

Xian Hua was extremely satisfied with his own work and had also taken on a beloved student. He was in high spirits and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Do you think your master grew up eating the northwest wind? I had a master to look after me, but I still suffered a lot. Now that I'm taking you as my disciple, there are some things I need to consider for you."

Wei Xi understood the deeper meaning behind these words: firstly, the soft armor was not afraid of damage; secondly, it allowed him to freely modify it, and there was room for maneuver if he made a mistake.

“If you get something better in the future, this can be used as a lining,” Xian Hua said, showing concern for his superior. “If you’re unsure, I can help you.”

"As for the juice squeezed from the leaves of the Qiankun tree, I obtained it from the Wanjian Sect a few years ago. I originally just wanted to study it, but I didn't expect it to have some wonderful uses."

"The Qiankun Tree is very mysterious in terms of space. This sap has also gained some ability, and can store the spiritual energy that is applied to it in space."

Wei Xi was a little dizzy, and it took him a moment to realize the wonder of this juice.

"Master means it can reduce the spiritual energy falling on the body? In that case, it would be an excellent damage reduction artifact!"

Xian Hua laughed and said, "Exactly! There's another thing: the space for storing spiritual energy is temporary, it all depends on how you use it."

With his rich combat experience, Wei Xi immediately understood: he could completely control the collapse time of these small spaces, causing considerable trouble for the enemy.

"Among the runes I engraved, there is a set of vine-like patterns. Using both together will make it easier for you to control the stored spiritual power. It's also good to use the opponent's strength against them."

Upon hearing this, how could Wei Xi not know how much effort Xian Hua had put into this soft armor? What was even more commendable was that she always considered things for her and thought things through thoroughly.

This set of soft armor, along with all the previous teachings, shows that it is no exaggeration to say that Xian Hua's kindness to Wei Xi was as heavy as a mountain.

"Take these wristbands and leg wraps back and study them slowly," Xian Hua said, temporarily abandoning her desire to show off her work after seeing the puppet set out the food and wine. "You've been struggling in the sea for so long, come here and have some hot wine to warm yourself up."

Wei Xi readily agreed and was about to bring up the matter of moving the flowers when, unexpectedly, Xian Hua waved her hand and those golden birds turned into golden nails, falling into her palm.

“Take this little thing home and play with it,” Xian Hua said, sitting down with an air of authority and placing a piece of food on Wei Xi’s plate. “There’s a good show to watch later, so don’t go hungry.”
