A Feng Shui Master's Guide to Cultivating Immortals

"This person approached on purpose, and the purpose is unknown." Xi Yunting's voice sounded faintly.

Chen Xiao straightened up in surprise and said, "But didn't elder brother say that he appeared directly in the camp?"

"It's true that Yan Hai appeared directly in the camp. It's just not unintentional, but intentional." Xi Yunting's handsome face was hidden in the shadows, but Chen Xiao found his eyes without deliberately looking for them, " Tang Daoyou took a step forward to negotiate on his behalf, but he didn't show any surprise. It seems that he knew that Tang Daoyou was not a real child, but a practitioner. He wanted to make up for this flaw later, but he wanted to cover it up more and more."

Chen Ling nodded slowly, and said: "He has probably been following us from afar since the morning, and knows us a little bit. The only place where he can keep an eye on us is the vicinity of Greystone City." Except for the break at noon, The rest of the time they were on their way, and they walked slowly only on the road from the checkpoint to the outside of Greystone City.

Xi Yunting pressed him on his shoulder again and said: "It's not a long-term solution to be on guard. Now I can only wait quietly until Yan Hai reveals his purpose. Brother Xiao, don't worry, there will be big brother and fellow Daoist Tang staring at me in turn. What's the matter?"

The temperature difference between day and night in the wilderness is huge. It is hot enough to burn people during the day, but the temperature drops so cold that people almost shiver at night.There were outsiders with unknown intentions, Chen Xiao didn't care about anything, just took out the stall and wrapped it around her body, and shrank into Xi Yunting's arms.

Xi Yunting's hand caressed his back, and a heat source spread along the back to the whole body.Chen Xiao soon fell asleep in the warmth.

When he got up again, it was time to hand over to Xi Yunting.Accompanied by Tang Ru, Chen Ling stayed on duty until the early morning without any surprises.

Unshakable, Xi Yunting started his morning exercises at the usual time.At this time, Yan Hai also got up. He seemed to be curious about the whereabouts of Xi Yunting who had left alone, so he approached Chen Xiao and asked, "Where did Fellow Daoist Xi go so early? Could it be to find the source of water?"

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't want him to disturb his elder brother's morning exercise, so he smiled and said, "No. Fellow Daoist Yan, help me, I'm ready to make breakfast."

As a temporary companion who rubs against the water, Yan Hai has no room to refuse.I had no choice but to help Chen Xiao build the firepit, light the fire, set up the shelf, hang up the kettle and start boiling water.

When he was ready, Chen Xiao returned the position of chef to Tang Ru.Seeing that nothing happened, Yan Hai raised the topic again.He said: "Did you come to Suxuan Xiaotian Realm this time to find and hunt sandworms?"

Temporary trainees don't ask each other about their goals, but it doesn't mean that they can't tell others about their practice goals.Yan Hai took the initiative to mention it at this moment, because he wanted to use small talk to induce Chen Xiao to tell their purpose.

Suxuan's heavenly realm is very barren, which also leads to the lack of aura here, and correspondingly fewer practitioners and beasts.There are no large beasts in the desolate wilderness. Only a kind of huge sandworm that is found in dry, hot and sandy places is of some value.

The meat of sandworms has quite high energy, and it is said to be one of the main materials for making medium-grade training rations.Most of the trainees active in Suxuan mainly hunt sandworms.

Tong Nuonuo came back after washing, and said, "We didn't come here for the sandworms. I heard in Taiyuan that a master craftsman came and Su Xuan lost the news. We came to find him."

Yan Hai's expression suddenly became strange: "Are you here to find a craftsman?"

Of course, Chen Xiao and the others didn't come to find a craftsman, it was just a unified caliber discussed by the four people before they set off.Even this target refiner is just unfounded.

Tong Nuonuo was relatively simple, he was the only one among the four who didn't know that Yan Hai had a problem.Seeing them now, the excuse they had thought up before made Yan Hai react like this, and he almost showed his flaws nervously.

Tang Ru walked by with the soup pot, and stepped on him inadvertently. Tong Nuonuo took a breath, and gritted his teeth silently: "Yes, fellow Daoist Yan knows something, and I hope to let you know."

Yan Hai said with a solemn expression: "You didn't know when you first came here. Recently, there are several refiners on Suxuan's side who have died for unknown reasons. I think that the refiner you are looking for may be very dangerous."

Fortunately, Tong Nuonuo was still somewhat quick-witted, and after the initial surprise passed, he was able to deal with it freely.He said: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Yan, for letting me know. It's just that if you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies. It's not good for us to go back home without seeing anything."

Yan Hai nodded and said: "This is what it should be. Could it be that you have accepted the reward task from Zhishitang?"

Tong Nuonuo twitched the corner of her mouth, and it was really embarrassing for him to make up lies one after another.He regretted coming to talk to him. If he had known that Yan Hai had so many problems, he might as well have let Chen Xiao deal with it.

He evaded the seriousness and asked lightly: "What did the refiners that Daoyou Yan mentioned die for?"

Yan Hai frowned, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, he said: "I only saw it once by chance, because I was afraid of being affected, I avoided it from a distance. It seems that someone specifically targeted the refiner in Suxuan. There are so many people, they are very powerful. Even as a craftsman, he didn't last long before he was killed."

Tong Nuonuo started to be curious about this matter, he asked: "Are these craftsmen being targeted? Did they die in the same place?"

Yan Hai shook his head: "No. These people's whereabouts are secretive, and they only know that they have been wandering in the wilderness. If they encounter them accidentally, they may lose their lives if they don't avoid them in advance."

If he didn't know that this person had bad intentions, Chen Xiao would have believed what he said.But now Chen Ling only suspects that Yan Hai is deceiving them for their purpose of coming, and trying every means to achieve his goal.

After this conversation, Chen Xiao became more vigilant towards Yan Hai.Maybe the group he was talking about wandering in the wilderness and killing the craftsman was none other than himself.

If this is the case, Yan Hai is not alone, he must have accomplices.

After breakfast, they continued on their way.It is still far away from their destination in the southeast mountains, Chen Xiao is not afraid that Yan Hai will find out their real reason for coming.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but that evening they found a large pond in a sunken basin.Chen Xiao was used to gray and white mixed with yellow-green tones, and suddenly a touch of silver-blue appeared, which quickly caught his attention.

"There's water!" Chen Ling called out, and was caught off guard by a mouthful of choking hot air.

Tang Ru's voice sounded muffled: "We saw it."

In this endless wilderness, water is the symbol of life.The bushes around the pond are obviously denser than other places, and there is even a sparsely dry, leafless sapling growing around it.Some animals were drinking water around the pond, there were young wild boars, wild goats, wild deer, and also foxes and jackals.

Chen Ling and the others suddenly appeared, causing the wild goats and deer to scatter, while the other animals stopped drinking water and looked at them with their necks stretched out.

Tong Nuonuo cheered, and rushed over from the gentle slope impatiently.He lifted the cloak, waded into the water, and happily splashed the water on his body.

Tang Ru also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Tong Nuonuo to the water's edge without pausing.Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting looked at each other, and then said to Yan Hai: "You Daoist Yan, you finally found the pond, you need to reserve more."

Yan Hai smiled and nodded: "Yeah, thanks to the help of a few of you on this journey. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would be thirsty. I have used a lot of water from you these two days, so I might as well take advantage of this opportunity. Let's make some additions."

Chen Xiao said: "It's not necessary, we currently have enough water. Fellow Daoist Yan, please help yourself."

Yan Hai paused for a moment, didn't say anything, just took out the water bottle in his bag, and filled it with water from the pond.

Now Chen Ling is almost sure that this pond is part of Yan Hai's plan.He deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and lacked drinking water. As long as he was accepted as a temporary companion, he would have to consume extra water.

Helping fellows who are short of water in the wilderness is a piece of cake for any practitioner who just came to Suxuan.Consumable water will always have to be replenished, and then there is an opportunity for murder.

Maybe Yan Hai didn't expect that he would accidentally show his feet when they met, making Chen Xiao and the others prepared.

——Except for Tong Nuonuo.

Tong Nuonuo took a dip in the water, but it wasn't enough to cool him down. He even scooped up the water in the pond with both hands and took a sip.He tasted it and said: "The taste of this water is a little astringent, it may be that minerals have infiltrated into the soil layer."

After finishing this sentence, Tang Ru, Chen Ling, and Xi Yunting watched him swallow it with a gulp.

Tang Ru rubbed her forehead and scolded the idiot secretly.Since you feel astringent, why drink it!Can't you spit it out? !

Yan Hai smiled and said: "Most of the water sources in the wilderness are like this, some are slippery, some are very astringent, some are salty, and there are very few sweet waters."

Tong Nuonuo was unaware of the powerlessness of his companions, and waved at Chen Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to come down to relieve the fever?"

It's not sure what's wrong right now, so Chen Xiao naturally doesn't dare to take risks.He shook his head and said, "No need now, wait until before the break."

Tong Nuonuo looked at his blushing face, felt a little strange, and nodded hesitantly.

Compared with his companions, Tong Nuonuo had less experience, and was less sensitive to the discovery of details and changes in the atmosphere.But that doesn't mean he's really stupid.When Chen Xiao behaved wrongly, Tong Nuonuo immediately noticed the abnormality.

That night they camped by the pond, and when Chen Xiao proposed to use the water they brought to boil water for dinner, Tong Nuonuo did so without further ado.

Yan Hai finished his share, wiped his mouth and dropped the bowl to the ground.He changed his sincere and straightforward appearance in the past two days, and said coldly: "At first, I thought about sending you on the road as soon as possible, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. If you don't eat the toast and take the penalty, then I have to be sorry."

Tong Nuonuo was surprised and angry: "What do you mean?!"

Yan Hai raised his head and laughed loudly: "This means that this is where you will be buried!"

Accompanied by his laughter, the surroundings twisted and changed, and the pond, dense bushes, and sparse groves disappeared.A gust of wind and sand rolled by, leaving only a shallow puddle of mud on the ground.At the edge of the basin, more than [-] people appeared and surrounded them silently.

Xi Yunting frowned, "It turned out to be an illusion."

Chen Ling was startled, and immediately got up to stand with Xi Yunting.Tang Ru put on a challenge posture.

Tong Nuonuo looked at Yan Hai, then at the muddy puddle.Being deceived caused too much damage to his senses, which made him instantly angry!
