Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 521 Before the Departure
Wei Xi's memory of the conference before his departure was hazy twenty years later.

Of course, by then she had forgotten many things and didn't care about such forgetting.

But at the age of fifteen, Wei Xi embarked on a journey to Dieji Mountain with a rare fervor.

Don't misunderstand, Wei Xi's secret fanaticism is directed at his own split personality.

Even more coincidentally, Qin Feng also entered a period of fervor.

Cultivation frenzy.

The story is a long one. After the conference ended that day, only Lian Gouyan among the three kept talking.

Lian Gouhan was always well-connected among the crowd, and soon after being released, he gathered a lot of information.

"Boluo and Ju have started fighting. The Ju army is led by the wealthy and powerful Tenth Princess, while the Hu people are led by Princess Anfu. In fact, the two of them are cousins ​​in the Liang family."

"First, the Tenth Princess launched a surprise attack, then the Kingdom of Boluo regained some ground, and now the two sides are deadlocked at the border. I vaguely heard that Chongxiao City also contributed to this effort."

Lian Gouyan stroked his chin and said, "After all this time, it turns out she did indeed reach a cooperation agreement with the Chamber of Commerce! I now seriously suspect we've been set up! There's something wrong with the prices of [Dried Sea Tears] and [Shaking Summer]! This is a shameless deception!"

The interruption to Lian Gou was a hurried and annoying male voice.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait!"

Upon hearing this sound, Wei Xi immediately swung his leg away.

But Lin Qinwei still caught up and stopped the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, Fellow Daoist Qin," Lin Qinwei said politely, "...Fellow Daoist, it's been a long time!"

Linked hooks:?
Qin Feng gave the Lin siblings a cold look and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Asking for a beating?"

To be honest, Wei Xi was also very curious: After the sect competition, Lin Qinlan no longer dared to confront him directly, so how did her good brother have the courage to come up to him?
Lin Qinwei suppressed his anger and forced a friendly smile. "I heard you've had another stroke of bad luck this time?"

"Can't you speak properly?" Lian Gouyan sneered. "I think you'll be the next one to suffer!"

Wei Xi remained silent, only scrutinizing the annoying young man who was gradually growing into a man with his eyes.

Lin Qinwei grinned, his whole demeanor like a dumpling that had been exposed, malice spilling out. "Once could be called a coincidence, but the second time can't be called a coincidence, right? I don't think we need to go to the Western Regions to exterminate the demons, the Qingcheng Sect has three right here!"

Considering the people around him, Qin Feng didn't draw his sword, but a chill emanated from every pore of his body. "Not only is your swordsmanship mediocre, but you're also not very bright! Did you only deal with your sister back then, and now you're deliberately looking for a beating?"

"Qin Feng," Wei Xi suddenly said, "take out the token."

"Huh?" Qin Feng clearly misunderstood, and asked hesitantly, "Should we take that out now?"

Suppressing the increasingly unruly spiritual voice, Wei Xi reminded him, "Didn't we transport out a lot of tokens? Since Fellow Daoist Lin is suspicious, there's no need for us to keep a low profile."

Wei Xi deliberately emphasized the word "many," and only then did Qin Feng remember the pile of tokens they had shoved into his Qiankun bag.

It wasn't the one the Tenth Princess wanted, but rather a token that had accumulated in Deadwater City over thousands of years along with the eastward-flowing water.

Qin Feng didn't know what Wei Xi was planning, but she did as she was told and summoned a mountain of tokens. If Lin Qinwei hadn't dodged quickly, these tokens would have buried him.

The surrounding cultivators, not expecting to see anything new, all gathered around.

Wei Xi ordered Ling Yin to shout at the top of her lungs, "Fellow Daoists! Just now, Fellow Daoist Lin from the Huai Xin Sect came over to question whether the three of us are truly innocent! Not to mention that the three of us were just passing through Yuwei Town, the elders of the Wan Jian Sect interrogated us several times. If we weren't innocent, would they have let us out?"

"While everyone is here, I'll tell you clearly: when the Devouring Sea Sect and the two towns were massacred, Qin Feng and I were being chased by snake demons in the Bone Reef Sea! Lian Gouhan was our backup, trapped in the post station by the demons of Yihua." Wei Xi pointed to the tokens Qin Feng pulled out and exclaimed, "These are the tokens we found in the Bone Reef Sea, some from Linchuan Pavilion, some from Dai Sect, and some from Chongxiao City Merchant Guild! Qin Feng and I were too busy to care for ourselves at the time, and we almost lost our lives several times, but we never abandoned these tokens, thinking of finding an opportunity to return them to the relatives and friends of the dead!"

"At least it's a thought to hold onto!" Lian Gouyan immediately joined the fray, saying with deep sorrow, "What a noble spirit this is! And yet, they are still being gossiped about and even questioned by narrow-minded people!"

At that time, the entire cultivation world was bewildered by Gao Mingxian, as if they were surrounded by a magnificent dream.

Anyone who dares to shatter this noble and beautiful dream should prepare to be met with a crushing blow!

Although Wei Xi didn't understand why idols would cause such fanaticism, she keenly observed the atmosphere and used it with ruthless precision to push her enemies into the abyss.

The whispers that had started earlier grew louder, now tinged with excitement and doubt.

But Qin Feng quickly handed a token to a bystander. The bystander was a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect and immediately recognized it as the token that every disciple in the sect had.

Lin Qinwei immediately became the target of everyone's condemnation. He was speechless—who would have thought that the dirty water he had prepared would be thrown back at him?
The cultivators who had some acquaintance with Lin Qinwei rushed over to rescue him, which took a lot of effort. Qin Feng always managed to cleverly block them, and the atmosphere was tense, almost to the point of drawing swords and fighting.

For Wei Xi, participating in this kind of sure-win brawl was a great pleasure.

Unfortunately, now was not the time. Wei Xi stopped Qin Feng before things deteriorated, leaving behind a pile of tokens and then leaving.

But what happened next was interesting.

During dinner, many cultivators came to express their gratitude in various accents of Northern Frontier dialects. Some even inquired about the situation in the Bone Reef Sea, hoping to retrieve the remains of their relatives and friends.

Wei Xi and his two companions were exhausted from dealing with the situation, but fortunately, their senior brothers and sisters helped them out.

Even so, Wei Xi barely ate a few bites of food. Often, as soon as he sat down, fellow Daoists with red eyes would come to express their gratitude.

But Xiao Pingting's appearance rescued the three of them. She was a legitimate elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and who would dare to offend her now? Upon hearing that they would be setting off tomorrow, those people had no choice but to take their leave.

"Thank you for your help, Elder Xiao," Senior Sister Xie said, cupping her hands in greeting. "It's getting late. May I ask what brings you here?"

Xiao Pingting maintained her calm expression. "I have a few words to say to Wei Xi."

Just as Senior Sister Xie was about to refuse, she heard Wei Xi say, "Senior Sister, we are setting off for Dieji Mountain tomorrow. You should get some rest too! Elder Xiao has some connections with Master, so he might have asked me to pass on a message."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yingying hesitated for a moment, but still left with her fellow disciples.

The dining hall at the Qingcheng Sect's headquarters became empty, with only Wei Xi and Xiao Pingting sitting opposite each other.

"I'm here to apologize to Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Xi was astonished, even suspecting that the Xiao Pingting in front of him was actually Lian Gouyi in disguise using the "Thousand Faces" technique.

Wei Xi was speechless for a moment, but the other party's sincere expression touched her. "Elder Xiao was just doing his duty. There's no question of apologizing."

“I was acting out of selfishness,” Xiao Pingting said earnestly. “You were a witness in Elder Shi Que’s case back then. I didn’t want to believe in coincidences, which is why I lost my composure.”

The other party's overly sincere attitude made Wei Xi feel extremely uncomfortable, wishing he could escape back to his room on a whim.

"Since you've said that, it seems the suspicion against me has been cleared in your mind." Wei Xi tried his best not to think about the possibility that the other party had killed him. "In that case, we'll have nothing to do with each other in the future."

Xiao Pingting nodded and said, "Okay, but I have one more question for you."

"What secrets lie hidden in the Bone Reef Sea that led to Shi Que's demise?"
