Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 112: New Neighbors

In mid-March, with the warm spring weather and blossoming flowers, there was a lively atmosphere in Feima Village.

The cultivators who had been hiding away all winter started to come out and be active. The number of external cultivators also gradually increased.

Gao Xian's Grand Illusionary Divine Technique had reached the level of a consummate grandmaster, and for a while, he had nothing to do, so he focused most of his energy on alchemy.

It was still quite cold in the morning and evening, and using charcoal fire for alchemy wouldn't be too hot. It also allowed for the efficient use of the heat emitted by the charcoal fire, making it more cost-effective than using spirit stones.

Mainly because of Da Niu's strength, Gao Xian only needed to focus on alchemy, while Da Niu took care of all the other miscellaneous tasks.

Well, the saved spirit stones would be used to increase Da Niu's salary, and Da Niu was naturally very willing.

On this day, Gao Xian was in the alchemy room refining pills when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Gao Xian activated his Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror and easily saw through the walls and the door to see the two people knocking on the door. They were a young couple.

The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Judging from their intimate gestures, they should be either husband and wife or lovers.

Seeing how energetic and satisfied they looked, they should both be at the ninth level of Qi Refining. They were also wearing high-grade robes.

There weren't many cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining in Feima Village.

After Gao Xian's Grand Illusionary Divine Technique reached the level of a consummate grandmaster, his various spell levels also improved.

During this period of warm weather, Gao Xian would sometimes wander around wearing his Shadowless Robe.

Feima Village was so small and had no array formations or magical artifacts to conceal, so he used the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror to observe the flow of spiritual energy. It was very easy for him to discern the aura of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He had even spied on Li Shuanglin, a Foundation Building cultivator. Although Gao Xian couldn't enter Li Shuanglin's courtyard, he still got a general idea of his situation through the Shadowless Robe and the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror.

Not being discovered while spying on Li Shuanglin greatly increased Gao Xian's confidence, and he became even more reckless in other parts of Feima Village.

There were a few cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining in Feima Village who might not have seen Gao Xian before, but Gao Xian was quite familiar with them.

Seeing these two unfamiliar cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, Gao Xian could conclude that they were newcomers to Feima Village.

Gao Xian didn't want to interact with strangers, so he asked Da Niu to go and check the situation, and he didn't bother with it anymore.

After a while, Da Niu came back and handed Gao Xian two clean talismans. "Brother, these are gifts from Yang Qiying and Su Yue, the new neighbors who just moved in."

"New neighbors?" Gao Xian casually asked, "Is it the house to the west?"

The house to the west originally belonged to an old bald man, but during the winter, he had a mishap in his cultivation and died directly.

Gao Xian noticed something was off while wandering around but didn't say anything. It wasn't until the man's friends realized something was wrong that they found out he had died.

The house was large, and not only was the rent expensive, but someone had mysteriously died inside, so others were afraid it was haunted and no one dared to rent it.

This new couple, whether they were brave or unaware of the situation, actually rented this house.

Gao Xian didn't pay much attention to it. Two cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining were not a threat.

With his current cultivation and spells, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to face and kill these two head-on.

He waved his hand at Da Niu and said, "Keep the cleansing talisman."

Da Niu didn't pay much attention to this. Gao Xian always casually gave him various talismans and magical tools, and he didn't think much of the two cleansing talismans now.

"Brother, they invited you to be their guest, saying it's a tea party, a friendly gathering to discuss magic and philosophy..."

Gao Xian didn't like meaningless socializing. It would be better to practice spells during that time.

He had been living here for two years and had never had a proper conversation with his neighbors. Of course, he was familiar with them, but they didn't recognize him.

He waved his hand and said, "You go."

Da Niu scratched his head in embarrassment. "Brother, they invited you, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go."

"Then don't go."

Gao Xian said indifferently, "Self-improvement is the foundation, meaningless socializing should be avoided."

"Oh."

Da Niu understood about seventy to eighty percent, and there were still two or three percent that he didn't quite grasp. He responded absentmindedly.

Gao Xian thought the matter was over, but in the afternoon, Zhou Yuling came running over, insisting on dragging him to the tea party.

"It's not good, we should avoid suspicion."

Gao Xian didn't want to go. It was more convenient to stay at home and do whatever he wanted.

Zhou Yuling shook her finger. "The Patriarch has already left, and besides, it has been confirmed that this was an accident. The two of us have nothing to do with the Nan family."

Gao Xian still didn't want to go. He made excuses, "We don't know the background of the other party, and we're just going to drink tea. What if we get poisoned?"

"Who would be so malicious! Besides, with so many people, no one is a fool. They wouldn't let him be poisoned..."

Zhou Yuling wrinkled her nose and hummed, "I think you just don't want to accompany me, right?"

She stared at Gao Xian suspiciously, "Are you afraid to go out with me? What are you afraid of?"

While Zhou Yuling was questioning with a strong momentum, Gao Xian suddenly leaned in and covered her mouth with his own.

Zhou Yuling wanted to struggle, but Gao Xian lightly traced her back with his electric dragon hand, causing her whole body to go limp.

After a while, the two separated. Zhou Yuling wiped her mouth first, and then carefully wiped Gao Xian's mouth.

"Xian Ge, just go with me, it's been so long since I've talked and chatted with someone, okay?"

After a heated argument, Zhou Yuling's anger dissipated completely. Now, she was holding Gao Xian's arm and pleading softly, with a pitiful and gentle look on her face.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Is that alright?"

Gao Xian didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist a woman's coaxing. Besides, he was interested in her body, so he didn't have the backbone to refuse.

Zhou Yuling was very happy. She kissed Gao Xian on the cheek and said, "Brother, you're the best!"

They couldn't go to the tea party empty-handed, so Gao Xian packed four Solidifying Yuan Pills and four White Dew Pills in a wooden box.

With his expertise as a first-tier alchemy expert, these low-level elixirs are of extremely high quality. Not to mention that there is no one in Feima Ji who can compare, even in Lianyun City, few can match him.

Giving a few elixirs as gifts is in line with his identity as an alchemist. Eight elixirs won't appear ostentatious, nor will they seem shabby.

Zhou Yuling clearly enjoys lively environments. She happily entered the Yang family's residence side by side with Gao Xian.

The Yang family's welcoming party consisted of two well-groomed maidservants, who carried themselves with grace and elegance, clearly well-trained.

Hmm, it's very different from the rustic Feima Ji. It's precisely this mismatch that highlights the uniqueness of this household.

Zhou Yuling had never seen such a scene in Feima Ji before. Her bright eyes darted around, finding it quite fresh and interesting.

Gao Xian whispered to Zhou Yuling, "Look at the way these people carry themselves, look at your mother, your father's taste needs to improve."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Yuling gave Gao Xian a disdainful look. In someone else's home, she didn't dare to make any small gestures with Gao Xian, so she could only use sound transmission to remind him.

Before they even entered the main hall, Yang Qiying and Su Yue couple came out to greet them.

"Fellow Daoists have arrived, it's a bit too much to come out to welcome you, please come in..."

Yang Qiying and Su Yue were both very enthusiastic, their words and actions were appropriate, not making people feel uncomfortable.

Gao Xian bowed in return, introduced his identity, and presented the prepared small gift.

Yang Qiying casually accepted the gift and politely said, "We are all neighbors, and as the saying goes, it's better to have close neighbors than distant relatives. In the future, we should help each other. Fellow Daoist Gao doesn't need to be so polite..."

Yang Qiying hadn't seen this young alchemist when he went to pay his respects today, so he was a bit surprised to see him in person now.

Gao Xian was handsome and gentle, with a coordinated outfit of a green hairpin and green robe. He had a long sword hanging at his waist, exuding a sense of nobility.

In a poor place like Feima Ji, there could actually be such outstanding individuals. No wonder he could win Zhu Qiniang's favor!

Su Yue also had a smile on her face as she looked at Gao Xian. In any case, such a handsome young man was always pleasing to the eye.

She nodded at Gao Xian and took the initiative to chat with Zhou Yuling.

Zhou Yuling was lively and quick-witted, and Su Yue was good at communication. The two women quickly became close like sisters.

Entering the main hall, Gao Xian found it quite spacious, with several long tables set up, filled with dried fruits, desserts, and tea.

The room was simply and cleanly furnished, with enough space left to avoid feeling cramped.

Several guests had already arrived in the living room, all of whom were neighbors living nearby. Gao Xian actually knew most of them, and even knew some of their secrets, but they mostly hadn't seen Gao Xian before.

Upon hearing Yang Qiying introduce Gao Xian's identity, the guests suddenly realized, and their gazes towards Gao Xian subtly changed.

Gao Xian knew what these people were thinking because Zhu Qiniang came and went every day, and everyone thought the courtyard belonged to her. They also believed that he was a kept man by Zhu Qiniang, and they had gossiped about him in private.

Seeing him appear together with Zhou Yuling, of course, everyone would be surprised and astonished.

Zhou Yuling probably guessed what everyone was thinking. She pulled Gao Xian along to join the tea party, that's what she wanted.

She smiled gently and tugged at Gao Xian's sleeve, "Brother Xian, let's sit here."

Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling sat side by side behind a long table. Zhou Yuling politely nodded to the people around her, fearing that Gao Xian might not recognize them, she used sound transmission to introduce the situation to Gao Xian.

"The one with the little girl is called Wan Zhen, he is the alchemist who refines the artifacts for you, Fellow Daoist Huang. His daughter is seven years old and her name is Wan Yingying."

"The big man is called Song Yan, he is a ninth level Qi Refining sword cultivator. It is said that his swordsmanship is unparalleled..."

When the guests were almost all gathered, Yang Qiying stood up and said some polite words.

The main idea was that they, as a couple, were new to the area and asked the neighbors to take care of them.

Yang Qiying and Su Yue claimed to be from Dajiang Fang, a relatively large market within the Lianyun City.

The two of them talked about some strange things that happened in Dajiang Fang. They were eloquent, well-traveled, and carried themselves with confidence and charm.

At the beginning, everyone was somewhat reserved, but as the atmosphere gradually became lively, everyone loosened up.

Gao Xian, who had crossed over and hadn't fully recovered his memories, couldn't talk about his own experiences. He honestly listened to everyone bragging and was able to broaden his horizons.

It must be said that humans are social creatures, and gathering together is their instinct.

Yang Qiying and Su Yue were particularly good at creating an atmosphere. They warmly and thoughtfully took care of each guest, allowing everyone to express their opinions.

This tea party didn't have much practical significance, but everyone enjoyed chatting about their various experiences.

Wan Zhen, who seemed quite dull, surprisingly spoke a lot and was very talkative. His seven-year-old daughter, Wan Yingying, stared with big eyes, looking particularly cute.

Zhou Yuling rarely spoke because of her reserved nature, but she clearly enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

When they were leaving, Su Yue invited Zhou Yuling and Gao Xian to visit when they had time, and Zhou Yuling readily agreed.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhou Yuling waved her hand and bid farewell to Gao Xian, saying, "Goodbye, brother."

Gao Xian wanted to keep her, "Come to my house for a while."

"I won't go, if I go, you won't behave." Zhou Yuling took a few steps, then turned around and smiled at Gao Xian, "Remember to think of me tonight!"

Her smile was like a crescent moon, and a few strands of hair fell down her forehead, swaying lightly in the evening breeze. Her smile was full of indescribable charm and allure.

Gao Xian's heart was about to melt. He couldn't help but think of a phrase, "Your gentle smile is more beautiful than twenty springs."

During dinner, Gao Xian told Qi Qiurong about their new neighbors.

Zhu Qiurong frowned slightly, "There has been some trouble at Bixia Peak recently. I heard that the Seven Devils Sect is causing trouble behind the scenes. You must be careful with these new neighbors."

Gao Xian nodded, "I will go and see our new neighbors tonight..."

Da Niu looked puzzled and said, "Brother, isn't it inconvenient to visit someone so late at night?"

Gao Xian looked at the honest child and felt a little guilty for keeping so many things from Da Niu.

He said softly, "Da Niu is right, it's not suitable to visit someone at night."
