177 Will This Work?

Ah Leng shook her head and said, “I can’t remember. It should have been a thousand years ago. That year, there was a great drought here. I happened to pass by and made it rain for the people here. These people begged me to stay, saying that they were willing to offer incense and worship me. I was originally a water spirit, and my cultivation depended on the power of wishes of my believers. When I heard them say this, I agreed to stay.”

At this point, Ah Leng sighed and continued, “But I didn’t expect that they would invite the Immortal master to seal me in this well.”

Ah Leng had been here for a thousand years and the well had already dried up. It was because of Ah Leng that there was always water to use. However, these living people did not even know that there was a water spirit sealed, let alone offer incense and worship.

“Leave this to me,” said Dong Xi.

Dong Xi took out an incense burner and placed it on the stone beside the well. Then, she turned around and went to the door of the two old people.

When the old lady saw Dong Xi return, she immediately asked, “Fairy, did you find something?”

“From tomorrow on, everyone here will go to the well and offer an incense stick. You must be pious. Do you understand?” Dong Xi nodded.

“Is this useful?” the old lady immediately asked.

Dong Xi’s expression was serious as she said, “If you want to go out, do as I say. This is what you’ve been owing her!”

“Alright!” The old lady said. “We’ll definitely do as you say!”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they looked up and saw that the female Immortal who was originally at the door had disappeared.

“Hurry!” The old lady immediately said. “Old man, go and find the incense in our house!”

“It’s almost dawn, I’ll go and tell the others.”

…

Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the low-level invisibility talisman on his body, then immediately fled.

Before Dong Xi left the sect, she had accepted two missions. One was to investigate the strangeness of this place, and the other was to send a letter to someone.

After delivering the letter, Dong Xi did not continue running or refining her body. She stepped on the little turtle and quickly flew back to the sect.

Dong Xi immediately went to the Mission Hall to submit the mission, and then asked them for a way to break the formation.

However, Senior Sister Wang Ying from the Mission Hall said that as long as those people’s lives were not in danger, they could not interfere.

Dong Xi wanted to argue with him, but he said, “How can this be? The little willow spirit was about to be killed by these people, and the water spirit, both of them were innocent! Even though they’re not humans, this is too unfair!”

Wang Ying looked at the excited Dong Xi and said with a smile, “Junior Sister, there’s no such thing as fairness in the world of cultivators. Even in our Ningtian Sect, a few disciples die every day. We’re cultivators, not law enforcers. The heavenly Dao will be watching over all the twists and turns!”

Dong Xi frowned, cupped his fists, and left.

Others might not care, but Dong Xi had promised to save Liu Qing and Ah Leng, so she had to save them. It was impossible for her to give up and not care.

The seal was set by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and her two Senior Brothers were only at the Golden Core stage. Now, Dong Xi could only find her two masters.

Dong Xi went to look for Lingxu first, but found that he was not there. He heard that Lingxu had gone to play chess with the elders of the other sects.

Dong Xi went to the Sword Sect, but Master Yijian had also accepted a mission and left.

To be more precise, only two disciples of the Sword Sect stayed to guard the door. The rest of the people were either in seclusion or out on missions.

“Everyone’s doing missions?” Dong Xi asked, stunned.

The two disciples on guard were also eager to talk to Dong Xi, so they immediately explained, “When everyone heard that Junior Sister was so hardworking at such a young age, they all turned over a new leaf and worked hard in their cultivation.”

Dong Xi’s head ached. Did these people have to work so hard that she could not even find a single helper?

Could it be that she was really going to break her promise to Liu Qing and Ah Leng?

Dong Xi sat on the sword-testing stone. The double gravity helped her calm down quickly and think.

What should she do now? How could he help Liu Qing and Ah Leng? If only Dong Xi could also issue missions!

No, she could indeed issue missions! I almost forgot.

Dong Xi immediately took out her communication Jade slip and chose to make a public announcement.

Who has the time to help break the formation set up by a Nascent Soul cultivator? The reward is two high-grade earth-elemental crystals and two bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills!

Dong Xi knew that no one would accept his mission. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, with the exception of sword cultivators, did not lack spirit stones at all. Now she could only hope that there would be a sword cultivator willing to help.

Not long after the message was sent, someone replied.

What kind of formation? Can you explain in detail? Let’s see if it can be broken.
