Great Immortal With Boundless Mana
Chapter 103 Shadowless Man
Chapter 103: Shadowless Hero (Seeking Monthly Votes at 3 AM)
"No need to thank me, I am the Shadowless Hero!"
Gao Xian muttered to himself. He didn't show himself to the couple, as it would maintain the air of mystery and superiority of a master.
Furthermore, knowing someone's face doesn't mean knowing their heart.
It is not true that saving someone means they will forever consider you their benefactor.
Great kindness can be seen as great enmity, which shows the complexity of human nature.
Gao Xian intervened because he couldn't bear to see the evil of the other party. He felt that he had no real connection with the couple, so there was no need to reveal himself.
The couple was also sensible. After kowtowing, they quickly packed up their belongings. They specifically mentioned this and swiftly left without taking anything from these people.
Gao Xian tidied up inside and gathered some spirit stones, talismans, and magical tools. There were more than a hundred spirit stones in total, a small profit.
Gao Xian was very satisfied with this battle.
He stood outside the gate and made his move, separated by two walls from the people inside the house, about twenty steps away.
In the past, even if he could sense a few people with his divine sense, he couldn't maintain the lock on them for a long time, let alone accurately locate their positions and body postures.
Through the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, he could easily see everything inside the room through two layers of walls.
This allowed him to attack through the walls with Ice Arrow Spell, killing several evil cultivators without anyone seeing his actions.
Truly living up to the saying, "The unexpected death strikes without warning!"
Gao Xian was in a very good mood. He could practice spells, act heroically, and make money, a perfect combination.
Returning home, Gao Xian quietly sneaked into Qi Niang's bed and forcefully engaged in dual cultivation against her will. He lingered until dawn before returning to his own room.
In the following days, Gao Xian diligently practiced cultivation according to his routine.
With the Red Gold Fruit, his Five Elements Technique progressed rapidly.
When he had nothing to do at night, Gao Xian would put on the Shadowless Robe and go out with the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror to wander around.
In addition to enjoying various spectacles, Gao Xian often acted heroically to combat evil and crime.
Gao Xian had to admit that he mainly did this to make himself happy. Sneaking around in the shadows, using spells to harm others without them knowing how they died, was an incredibly satisfying feeling.
Furthermore, combating evil always brought some rewards.
Feima Gathering now had sixty to seventy thousand scattered cultivators, and with so many people frequently entering and leaving Tengshe Mountain, there was a high degree of population mobility.
These scattered cultivators lived day by day, and many of them had no moral boundaries. It was normal for people to be killed or robbed in Feima Gathering every day.
Although Li Shuanglin had resolved several major factions and stabilized the order in the central area, it was impossible to make all the scattered cultivators in Feima Gathering obedient.
After a brief period of calm, this group of scattered cultivators began to indulge themselves once again.
Gao Xian had almost daily gains.
Because of the rapid population movement, hardly anyone knew about what Gao Xian was doing.
Even if there were occasional rumors, no one took them seriously.
By the end of November, the weather was getting colder. About half of the people gathered at Feima Market had left.
The scattered cultivators who were preparing for winter stayed behind, stocking up on firewood, spiritual rice, and other supplies.
Deer Antler Powder and Tian Gui Dan became popular and sold well.
The sales of these two types of pills had increased four to five times in the past three to four months.
Gao Xian earned nearly two thousand spirit stones and gained a large amount of humane spiritual light.
In addition to the one thousand spirit stones he earned as a Shadowless Hero, and the one thousand spirit stones Huang Ying gave him, he had enough money to buy Red Gold Fruits and still have some left over.
With the remaining spirit stones he had, he now had four thousand nine hundred spirit stones in his hands.
Although not as prosperous as before, Gao Xian felt relatively secure.
There were no major expenses for the time being. The monthly expenses for rent, rice, meat, and Big Bull's salary amounted to twenty spirit stones, which was enough.
The biggest expense was food, because Qiniang would buy some second-rank demonic beast meat, which she paid for and he didn't need to worry about.
Under normal circumstances, he could save three hundred spirit stones every month. With a few valuable sword weapons and robes in his possession, he was quite well off.
In December, it was freezing cold, and during the day, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street. At night, there wasn't even a ghostly figure.
Gao Xian no longer went out for walks and instead focused on cultivating at home every day.
Without the Red Snake Gang causing trouble, the winter at Feima Market was very quiet, even peaceful.
On New Year's Eve, Gao Xian, Zhu Qiniang, and Big Bull stayed up late together, spending a peaceful and warm new year.
Gao Xian also felt emotional. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and many things had happened, and he had gained a lot.
In summary, in the second year in this world, he had already gotten used to the life here and lived a fulfilling life.
He rarely thought about the things and people from his previous life, except for some dangerous situations that almost cost him his life.
On the first day of the lunar new year, Gao Xian went to the Zhou family to pay a visit, bringing a few inexpensive gifts, mainly desserts and wine.
In front of Zhou Ye, Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling couldn't show any intimate behavior, but they could have a normal conversation and chat.
Old man Zhou Ye watched with complicated emotions, his eyes flickering.
During the summer, Zhou Yuling would come to see Gao Xian every day. At that time, he hadn't resolved his issues and felt guilty, so he didn't want to stop her.
Now that Zhou Yuling and Gao Xian were talking affectionately, although he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything.
Upon Zhou Yuling's warm invitation, Gao Xian had lunch at the Zhou family.
After lunch, Zhou Ye, under his daughter's constant gaze, could only say that he was going to take a nap and left Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling to talk in the main hall.
Gao Xian preferred to go to Zhou Yuling's bedroom, where the environment was more private and they could be more intimate.
While they were talking in the main hall, the old man next door was eavesdropping. He couldn't do much, not even say sweet words of love.
Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling chatted about recent events for a while. He took out a sword from the storage compartment of his Qinglian belt and handed it to Zhou Yuling, saying, "New Year's gift."
"Ah? There's another gift..." Zhou Yuling was somewhat surprised, but then her face lit up with joy. She didn't care about the gift itself, but rather the fact that Gao Xian remembered her and cared for her.
Zhou Yuling examined the long sword. It had a sharkskin scabbard, a green jade handle, and looked exquisite and beautiful at three feet long.
Drawing the sword from its scabbard, the green blade was as pure and clear as a spring.
"The Azure Water Sword, it suits you well," Gao Xian said.
Gao Xian had had this Azure Water Sword for some time. He had it appraised by Qi Niang, and it was considered a high-quality first-grade sword, worth at least seven to eight hundred spirit stones.
He had kept it specifically to give it to Zhou Yuling when the opportunity arose.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuling had been busy with her cultivation and hadn't come to see him.
Today, being the first day of the Lunar New Year, he decided to give it to Zhou Yuling to make her happy.
Zhou Yuling really liked this Azure Water Sword. She could also tell that it was expensive.
However, no matter how expensive the gift was, she wasn't afraid. With their relationship, these material things didn't matter.
Zhou Yuling leaned in and gently kissed Gao Xian's cheek. Her eyes were filled with joy as she whispered in his ear, "You have me in your heart, and it's not in vain that you care for me."
Gao Xian pointed to his own heart, indicating that he had always kept Zhou Yuling in his heart.
As they got closer, the atmosphere gradually became intimate and ambiguous.
The old man in the bedroom coughed at an inappropriate time, bringing Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling back to their senses.
Gao Xian also felt a bit awkward. The old man was really getting in the way. But being too intimate in front of one's father was indeed impolite.
When Zhou Ye came out, Gao Xian stood up and bid farewell.
As Zhou Ye saw Gao Xian off, he suddenly felt something was off. He carefully examined Gao Xian's face and said, "Nephew, I see that your forehead is darkened, you must have attracted something unclean..."
Gao Xian didn't take it seriously and laughed, "No way, Uncle Zhou. I've been practicing the Zhenyang Spear day and night, how could I attract evil spirits?"
Zhou Ye carefully examined Gao Xian again and found that the trace of evil energy on his forehead had disappeared.
Could it be that he was seeing things?
Zhou Ye thought it couldn't be. He had spent his whole life studying the Shaoyang Talisman and was most sensitive to evil energy.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a Nine Yang Talisman from his storage bag and handed it to Gao Xian, saying, "Nephew, take this Nine Yang Talisman. Even if there are no evil spirits, it's good to have it for self-defense."
"The elder's gift, I dare not refuse. Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Gao Xian did not refuse any further. Indeed, the Jiuyang Talisman was very effective in dealing with evil spirits.
Especially since the Jiuyang Talisman naturally restrains the aura of evil spirits, as long as it is worn, it can effectively restrain evil spirits without the need for deliberate activation.
After seeing Gao Xian off, Zhou Ye returned to his room and saw his daughter playing with the Bishui Sword.
"Let me see."
Zhou Ye took the Bishui Sword and lightly flicked the spine of the sword with his fingers. The long sword trembled slightly and emitted a clear and melodious sound. The blade shimmered with a watery blue light, reflecting a blue hue on everyone's hair.
"Good sword, a first-grade superior weapon, worth at least eight hundred spirit stones."
Zhou Ye sighed, "This kid is really generous!"
An eight hundred spirit stone weapon, even he, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, couldn't bear to buy it. Gao Xian actually gave it to his daughter.
Zhou Yuling no longer concealed her joy. She raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Of course, the man I choose must be a good man."
Zhou Ye's mood was somewhat complicated. While feeling lost, he was also happy for his daughter.
In his opinion, Gao Xian's character was really good, gentle, low-key, and polite, with a touch of perseverance. He could patiently refine pills without leaving his house.
As far as he knew, Gao Xian never went to the Feihua Courtyard and didn't have any vices like drinking or gambling.
Being young and wealthy, it was really rare to achieve this.
It was said that Gao Xian had a close relationship with Zhu Qiuniang, but everyone knew that Zhu Qiuniang was not a normal woman. It could only be said that the two had a cooperative relationship.
What was even more important was that Gao Xian had great talent in pill refining. Just the Lu Jiao Powder and Tian Gui Pill were enough for him to use for a lifetime.
Gao Xian was willing to spend money on his daughter. Just this point showed his sincerity. Most importantly, Yuling also liked Gao Xian. The two of them were indeed a good match.
If it weren't for Nan Zhengxing, this would indeed be a great thing.
During the Lunar New Year, Zhou Ye didn't want to mention Nan Zhengxing and ruin his daughter's mood.
Zhou Ye thought for a moment and said, "I see that Gao Xian has been contaminated by evil energy again. He doesn't seem to care much. Remember to remind him. Dealing with evil spirits is not a joke!"
Zhou Yuling asked curiously, "Gao Xian doesn't go out, how could he be contaminated by evil energy?"
"Well, that's hard to say. Evil spirits are the tribulation of cultivators. When your tribulation arrives, they will come looking for you."
Zhou Ye casually said, "Encountering something filthy or killing too many people will attract evil spirits."
Zhou Yuling rolled her eyes, "Gao Xian is as timid as a rabbit. How could he kill someone! Dad, don't talk nonsense!"
"I was just giving an example."
Thinking of Gao Xian's various aspects, Zhou Ye shook his head with a complex expression and said, "Don't underestimate Gao Xian, he is not ordinary, really not ordinary!"
