Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 116: The Awakening of Cultivators

"Seven Kill Soul?"

When Zhu Qiniang heard Gao Xian mention Wan Yingying, she pondered for a moment and said, "This should be the terminology used by the Seven Kill Sect. The Seven Kill Sect likes to divide people's souls into different levels. The Seven Kill Soul is the highest level..."

The Lianyun Sect has two neighbors to the east, the Seven Kill Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect.

Zhu Qiniang has been engaged in the medicinal herb business for many years and inevitably comes into contact with various people, so she has some knowledge of the Seven Kill Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "The Yin Kill Flag is also a sinister weapon of the Seven Kill Sect, very powerful. According to this, Yang Qiying and Su Yue must be members of the Seven Kill Sect."

Everyone knows that the Red Snake Gang has support from other sects, but no one knows which sect specifically.

At least Zhu Qiniang doesn't have access to this information.

Through the conversation between Yang Qiying and Su Yue, Zhu Qiniang can accurately determine their identities.

"The Seven Kill Sect is ruthless in their methods. They plan to take action in September, and Feima Gathering is probably going to be in trouble."

Zhu Qiniang knows the style of the Seven Kill Sect, and a worried expression appears on her face.

Feima Gathering is very important to her and Gao Xian, it can be said to be their foundation.

Whether it is the sale of medicinal herbs, pills, or various networking resources, they are all built around Feima Gathering, and they also make use of some of the connections of the Zhu family.

It is easy to leave Feima Gathering, but if they go to another place, they won't even have the qualifications to sell pills.

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh and asked after thinking for a moment, "The Sect Master of the Lianyun Sect can't possibly be unaware. Doesn't he have any countermeasures?"

"Yun Taihao? It is said that this Mid Gold Core cultivator is stubborn and does things his own way. He makes all the decisions for the sect."

Zhu Qiniang shook her head. She has no knowledge of this Gold Core cultivator, only hearing some anecdotes about him from others.

As for the specific situation of Yun Taihao, it is not something that she, an outer disciple, can know.

"No one knows how the sect views Feima Gathering now, let alone how they will respond."

Zhu Qiniang said, "A major change is imminent, so we should prepare in advance."

"They said they will take action in September, so we still have a few months to prepare."

Gao Xian said, "Let's first prepare two hidden shelters. Find two houses on the outskirts and dig a tunnel connecting to the mountains. To maintain secrecy, it would be best to prepare a formation that can conceal our spiritual power."

Gao Xian is not familiar with this aspect, so he can only make a suggestion. The specific implementation will depend on Zhu Qiniang's arrangements.

Zhu Qiniang nodded. Her thoughts are similar to Gao Xian's.

Until there is a clear result, they cannot give up on Feima Gathering. Preparing a shelter is a very good idea.

"Formations can be troublesome, it would be easier to prepare one or two artifacts that can conceal our aura."

Zhu Qiniang said, "I will make the arrangements first."

Gao Xian said, "I'll go remind Lao Zhou to inform the sect. We need to make sure the sect is prepared and see if we can save Feima Ji."

"The sect won't take us seriously, nor will they take Feima Ji too seriously."

Zhu Qiniang reminded Gao Xian, "Just let Lao Zhou handle it, you mustn't get involved."

"Mm, I understand."

After saying these words, both Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang felt a bit heavy-hearted.

Originally, they were living a comfortable life at Feima Ji, but the conflict between Qisha Sect and Lianyun Sect had stirred up a huge wave. If they weren't careful, they could be destroyed.

The future seemed bleak, and Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang naturally held each other tightly, feeling more intimate and secure.

"I don't know what they're up to!" Gao Xian held Qiniang and increasingly felt that this peaceful life was beautiful, and he grew more disgusted with uncontrollable conflicts.

"There is no pure land in this world. Either you get bullied or you bully others."

Qiniang understood this well and said seriously, "We still need to cultivate well. Bullying others is always better than being bullied."

"It would be nice if everyone could get along peacefully," Gao Xian said.

He still adhered to his thoughts from his previous life, preferring stability and order, and disliking conflicts.

Of course, except when it came to bullying the weak!

"The pot is only so big. If you take an extra bite, I'll have to take a smaller one. Over time, you'll become stronger and I'll become weaker. I can only let you slaughter me."

Qiniang completely disagreed with Gao Xian's idea and said directly, "Cultivators fight against the heavens, the earth, and other people. If you don't have the heart to fight, then don't become a cultivator."

Gao Xian was startled. Qiniang's words were simple and direct, but they made a lot of sense. She was like a philosopher!

Indeed, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that cultivators absorb has an owner. If you want to absorb more spiritual energy, you have to pay a price for it.

Not to mention the precious treasures, magical artifacts, and secret techniques of heaven and earth, all of which require great effort to obtain.

Gao Xian felt a bit ashamed. He had always had the mentality of an ordinary person, just getting by was enough.

In this regard, he was far behind Qiniang in terms of enlightenment.

"Qiniang is right, I need to learn from you."

Qiniang felt that there was something strange about his words, but before she could figure it out, Gao Xian continued, "Absorb advanced experience from Qiniang..."

The sun and moon revolved, and in the blink of an eye, it was July.

The sun was scorching during the day, making the room stuffy. Even if they used spirit stones to activate the alchemy furnace, the high temperature emitted by the furnace itself was difficult to eliminate.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Xian would rest in July and August.

But knowing that Qisha Sect would make a move in September, Gao Xian didn't dare to rest. He took advantage of the remaining time to refine pills every day.

After more than a month, even the strong and sturdy Da Niu was exhausted and had become dark and thin.

The main reason was that the alchemy furnace couldn't rest properly. With the furnace running day and night, Gao Xian still managed to find time for regular cultivation and rest, but Da Niu couldn't sleep for more than two or three hours a day.

In this regard, Gao Xian didn't dare to claim that it was the blessing of being a genius. He could only give more spiritual stones and offer guidance on alchemy techniques to Da Niu, so as not to let him work in vain.

Gao Xian took advantage of his busy schedule to even find time to meet privately with Zhou Yuling.

He warned Zhou Yuling to be careful of Yang Qiying and her husband, bluntly stating that they were spies from other sects.

Gao Xian also mentioned this matter to Zhou Ye, subtly expressing his concerns about Feima Ji.

He believed that Zhou Ye, being a cunning old man, should be able to understand his meaning. As for how Zhou Ye would handle it with the sect, Gao Xian couldn't control that.

To Gao Xian's disappointment, Zhou Ye didn't say anything for a long time, and Zhou Yuling also knew nothing.

Gao Xian was a bit confused, not knowing what the people in control of Lianyun Sect were planning.

There was no other way, so he could only follow the plan and rent two houses on the outskirts of Feima Ji with Qi Niang.

The ancient ruins of Qingxia Peak were vast, and there were always scattered cultivators who could dig up magic tools.

Many scattered cultivators gathered at Feima Ji, causing housing prices to skyrocket.

Even the two most remote thatched houses required a significant amount of spiritual stones.

In order to buy concealment magic tools, Gao Xian even sold his Silver Scale Sword Robe and Golden Edge Sword.

Actually, he had the Shadowless Robe, which was enough to conceal his own aura. However, Zhu Qi Niang didn't have the Shadowless Robe. And there was also Zhou Yuling and Zhou Ye, who couldn't be ignored.

Previously, Qi Niang had already helped him with the money to buy Tianyi True Water, so she didn't have many spiritual stones left.

In the end, Qi Niang had someone buy a first-grade superior magic tool called the Floating Cloud Flag at the Yunsui Tower in Lianyun City.

It was a small white triangular flag that, when unfolded, looked like a cloud, capable of concealing the aura of spiritual energy and magical power within a radius of several zhang.

With the Floating Cloud Flag, if something happened at Feima Ji, he could find a corner with his people and at least stay out of trouble.

Gao Xian felt that things wouldn't be so simple. Feima Ji might not have been important before, but now that there were ancient ruins of a sect, Lianyun Sect couldn't just leave it unattended.

However, no one would inform him of these upper-level calculations. He could only prepare in advance and protect himself.

By August, Gao Xian had invested most of his energy into cultivation.

The Great Five Elements Technique couldn't be rushed, but with Tianyi True Water, the cultivation process was half the effort and twice the result.

With Tianyi True Water, the efficiency of cultivation could be increased by three to six times. It was no wonder that Tianyi True Water was so expensive; it was worth every penny.

When the Great Occult Divine Technique reached the level of Grandmaster Perfection, the benefits of his cultivation became even greater.

Both his understanding of the technique and his control over the subtle aspects of magical power had greatly improved in all aspects.

Gao Xian made rapid progress in the Great Five Elements Technique. According to his estimation, it would take less than two months to condense his kidney orifices and reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

His cultivation became even purer, allowing him to handle spells more skillfully.

Even the most complex and exquisite Gengjin Sword Shield had been practiced to the level of mastery by him.

At this stage, the Gengjin Sword and Shield can truly achieve instant release without hindrance, gathering and dispersing at will.

However, Gao Xian currently only masters the Ice Arrow Art and Flame Blast at the level of a Grandmaster.

These two spells are extremely compatible with the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, and when combined, their power reaches an unimaginable level.

No Qi Refining cultivator can withstand a round of Ice and Fire Nine Heavens.

In comparison, the compatibility between the Gengjin Sword and Shield and the Ruyi Golden Rope is one level lower, making it impossible to achieve perfect integration.

This also results in slower cultivation speed and weaker power for the Gengjin Sword and Shield.

The compatibility between the Yin Yang Wheel and the Geomagnetic Wheel is also not very good. After this period of arduous cultivation, Gao Xian has finally elevated the Geomagnetic Wheel to the level of a Master.

The speed of the Geomagnetic Wheel has increased by nearly fifty percent. According to Gao Xian's estimation, his control over the Geomagnetic Wheel is not much worse than Li Shuanglin's.

After more than four months of accumulation, he has accumulated over thirteen thousand Human Dao Spiritual Lights.

Feima has gathered a large number of scattered cultivators, and the Deer Horn Scatter and Tian Gui Pill have become the best-selling pills.

Seeing that it was almost September, Gao Xian didn't want to wait any longer. He had to make use of every bit of Human Dao Spiritual Light.

There are many spells that can be directly upgraded using Human Dao Spiritual Light, but it is not easy to choose which one to upgrade.

Normally, of course, Ice and Fire Nine Heavens should be upgraded.

After practicing diligently in the Heart and Mind Temple, he finally raised Ice and Fire Nine Heavens to the level of proficiency. Investing over ten thousand Human Dao Spiritual Lights is enough to reach mastery, and it will undoubtedly enhance the power of Flame Blast and Ice Arrow Art.

Zhengyang Spear, a very powerful soul spell, also has great potential and is worth upgrading. After this period of cultivation, he has also raised Zhengyang Spear to the level of mastery.

After careful consideration, Gao Xian chose to prioritize upgrading the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror.

The Seven Killing Sect will definitely mobilize Foundation Building cultivators to attack Feima. No matter how much Ice and Fire Nine Heavens and Zhengyang Spear are enhanced, they pose little threat to Foundation Building cultivators.

In such chaos, the important thing is not how many people are killed, but to try to grasp the battlefield situation in order to better protect oneself.

According to Gao Xian's understanding, the most important thing in war is to have information.

As Sun Tzu said: "Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

Modern warfare places even more emphasis on control of information, just like in aerial combat, the most important thing is not stealth aircraft, but airborne early warning aircraft.

The most powerful aspect of the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror is its passive observation, which cannot be sensed by the spiritual consciousness of cultivators.

Investing over four thousand five hundred Human Dao Spiritual Lights, the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror instantly reached the level of Grandmaster Perfection.

Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror: Discerning the smallest details, seeing through truth and falsehood, illuminating the hidden. (5000/5000 Grandmaster Perfection)

The annotation on the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror added the four words "illuminating the hidden".

Gao Xian didn't know the specific significance of this, but he clearly felt that the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror had undergone some subtle changes.
