Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 135: The Taste of It (Still the Third Watch of the Night!)

"Seventh Sister, you've reached Foundation Building!"

When Da Niu, who was waiting outside, saw Zhu Qianniang come out, he excitedly shouted.

Zhu Qianniang nodded slightly and said, "Mm."

She had always been indifferent towards outsiders. Although Da Niu was her relative, and they had a relatively close relationship, she always maintained this distant and indifferent demeanor.

Da Niu held great respect for Zhu Qianniang and didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior.

Although he was so excited that he almost cried, he didn't dare to approach her and just stood there, chuckling.

Gao Xian praised, "Da Niu is very capable. He has been helping us keep watch outside."

Da Niu smiled foolishly and said a little embarrassedly, "My cultivation level is too low, so I can't be of much help."

Da Niu suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, brother, the robes and storage bags of those people are with me."

That day, after Gao Xian killed Zhu Qinghe and the others, he hurriedly left. He took off the robes and storage bags of those people while cleaning up the bodies.

These past few days, Gao Xian had been particularly busy. He was also worried about Zhu Qianniang's Foundation Building, so he forgot about these things.

"Haha, yeah, I forgot too. I've been too busy."

Gao Xian laughed. He had been doing his best to kill Zhu Changsheng, and then there was Zhu Qianniang's Foundation Building. These were all major events, so he didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things.

It wasn't until Da Niu mentioned it that he remembered there was still this matter.

All five of them were from the main branch of the Zhu family and had storage bags. Their robes and weapons were also quite good.

The spiritual stones on them added up to more than 1,100 pieces, which could be considered a substantial fortune.

Gao Xian took the spiritual stones and handed the rest to Zhu Qianniang.

After a quick look, Zhu Qianniang said, "With the storage bags, robes, and weapons, they can be sold for 4,000 spiritual stones."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Your Zhu family really pays attention to etiquette. They never come empty-handed."

He had gained another windfall, so he was in a great mood.

This time, the risk was huge, but the rewards were also huge!

As Old Zhou said, disaster and fortune are intertwined.

Zhu Changsheng's arrival was originally a disaster for him and Zhu Qianniang. But now that they had overcome it, it had become a stroke of good luck for the two of them. He had made a fortune because of it, and Zhu Qianniang had achieved Foundation Building because of it!

"It's still early..."

Gao Xian looked at the sun in the sky. It was hanging diagonally in the southeast, so it should be around 8 o'clock in the morning.

He said to Zhu Qianniang, "I want to experience the brilliance of a Foundation Building cultivator."

To be honest, Gao Xian was very curious about Zhu Qianniang's current state.

Seeing Zhu Qianniang complete her Foundation Building, her divine sense, magical power, and physical body had all undergone a qualitative change.

Zhu Qianniang had undoubtedly become very strong, but Gao Xian didn't have a clear idea of just how strong she was.

As a companion, as a comrade-in-arms, it was necessary for him to understand Zhu Qianniang's state.

Qi Niang is going to negotiate with Li Shuanglin, so she doesn't want to be caught off guard by him.

"Alright, let's give it a try."

Qi Niang is also very curious about Gao Xian's strength. It's unheard of for Qi Refining to be able to directly kill Foundation Building cultivators!

During the battle between Gao Xian and Zhu Changsheng, she was overwhelmed by Zhu Changsheng's powerful aura and couldn't see the details of the fight.

She only vaguely saw Gao Xian unleashing a brilliant sword light that killed Zhu Changsheng with one strike.

After successfully reaching Foundation Building, she had a deeper understanding of the power of Foundation Building. She was even more amazed and curious about Gao Xian's sword strike.

Da Niu watched as Gao Xian and Qi Niang's spiritual energy surged, their momentum strong, ready to fight. He was scared out of his wits.

Qi Niang didn't even look at Da Niu. She coldly said, "Step back and don't get hurt."

Although they were just sparring, it was too dangerous for Da Niu.

Even a stone thrown by their spiritual energy could take Da Niu's life.

Da Niu obediently retreated from the courtyard, moving dozens of zhang away.

Gao Xian smirked at Qi Niang and said, "Beauty, I'm here..."

Qi Niang said seriously, "You need to be careful. It's not child's play to unleash your full power. "

Gao Xian felt a bit helpless. He was flirting, but Qi Niang was talking about reason. This woman really doesn't understand romance!

He suddenly drew his Qinglian Sword and thrust it straight at Qi Niang, using ninety percent of his strength.

With the speed of the Magnetic Wheel, the sword edge had already reached Qi Niang's chest in an instant.

The first time Gao Xian fought with Lao Wang, he almost failed because Lao Wang was wearing inner armor. This made him used to aiming for the head.

When dealing with his own people, he naturally had to hold back a bit.

Although Qi Niang was prepared, she was still somewhat surprised by Gao Xian's ultimate fast sword.

Whether it was her body movement or the fast sword, Gao Xian clearly reached the level of Foundation Building.

She intentionally wanted to test Gao Xian's cultivation, so she pointed directly at the tip of the Qinglian Sword with her finger.

After completing the Primordial Origin Golden Body Art at the Foundation Building stage, her strength, speed, reaction, and other aspects had all increased by about six or seven times.

This huge comprehensive improvement made her combat power skyrocket.

Facing Gao Xian's ultimate fast sword, she could easily calculate the position and speed of the sword blade, giving a precise and powerful strike.

When the tip of the Qinglian Sword lightly touched her fingertip, an unmatched force suddenly erupted from Qi Niang's fingertip, violently sending the Qinglian Sword flying.

Gao Xian relied on his lightning-fast reflexes to catch the Qinglian Sword again, even though it slipped from his hand in an instant.

He quickly retreated, unable to withstand the tremendous force that erupted from Qi Niang's finger.

Qi Niang muttered, "Stay!"

Although she only used thirty percent of her power to unleash her Divine Ability, the Lion's Roar of the Primordial Origin, the sound waves were like a heavy hammer, fiercely crashing into Gao Xian.

The outer layer of his Shadowless Robe rippled silently and shattered, and the protective shield of his Profound Water Robe also broke at the same time.

Gao Xian didn't activate the Wood Shield on his Green Wood Armor. This shield couldn't withstand sound wave spells.

He could only shrink his body and protect his seven orifices with spiritual energy, while tightly closing his divine sense to protect his soul consciousness.

With a loud thunder and a sudden piercing sound, it penetrated Gao Xian's eardrums. This invisible sound wave was not only domineering, but also contained the divine power to sweep the heavens and the earth with thunderous force.

In an instant, Gao Xian felt dizzy and everything went silent. He couldn't even sense his own existence.

Fortunately, Lanjie was in charge of the Mind Bureau, and her powerful divine consciousness took over his senses and forcibly controlled his body, preventing him from falling down on the spot.

Gao Xian stepped back several zhangs (a Chinese unit of length) and raised his hand to signal a ceasefire. If they continued fighting, this woman who didn't know the severity might really kill him.

Zhu Qiniang also noticed that something was wrong. She showed a hint of unease on her face and tentatively asked, "A Xian?"

Gao Xian could see Zhu Qiniang's mouth moving, but he couldn't hear any sound. He couldn't help but say in annoyance, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Although he said it, he couldn't hear it himself, which felt very strange.

Zhu Qiniang came to Gao Xian's side and guiltily reached out to wipe the blood flowing from his ear.

"I'm sorry, I was too reckless."

Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh and cry. This woman was really a bit foolish, and she trusted him too much. Wasn't she afraid of shouting him to death?

The Divine Ability of the Thunderous Lion's Roar was really powerful. If he had known, he would have activated the Shadowless Robe to dodge it...

"Fortunately, you have two layers of magical shields protecting you, and your divine consciousness is powerful. You only bled a little, and you weren't really injured."

Zhu Qiniang checked Gao Xian's ears and finally let go of her worries.

She was not good with words, and she didn't know how to express herself at the moment. She just looked straight at Gao Xian, her emerald eyes filled with guilt and tenderness.

Gao Xian covered his ears with his hands and shouted loudly, "What did you say?"

Zhu Qiniang was startled, her voice also raised, and there was even a hint of panic in her tone. "You still can't hear?"

"Haha..."

Gao Xian hugged Zhu Qiniang's waist and smiled happily on his face. "I was just teasing you."

Zhu Qiniang wasn't angry. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "As long as you're okay."

The usually cold Zhu Qiniang rarely showed such gentleness, even with a hint of docility.

This made Gao Xian feel a little strange, and he felt a little embarrassed. He was joking around like a child even though he was an adult.

After thinking for a moment, he kissed Zhu Qiniang on the cheek and said, "We're buddies, let's not say those formalities."

Zhu Qiniang's heart warmed, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

After thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to hug Gao Xian and kissed him.

Generally speaking, she didn't like verbal disputes, but if Gao Xian liked it, she would accompany him.

Far away, Da Niu saw Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang hugging each other through the gate.

Da Niu took a quick glance and quickly turned around. He muttered to himself, "Let them go further away, turns out they want to be intimate... Who can they fool? I knew something was going on between them!"

Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang enjoyed their intimacy for a while. Their breaths intertwined, and their feelings connected. They felt that holding each other like this was more enjoyable than anything else, and they wished they could stay like this forever.

Even the usually calm Zhu Qiniang couldn't bear to let go of Gao Xian.

"It's getting late, let's take care of business first."

At this moment, Gao Xian was calmer than Zhu Qiniang. Although being entangled and intimate with each other was very comfortable, they couldn't delay their business.

Zhu Qiniang let out a gentle sigh, her bright eyes shimmering as she spoke softly, "No wonder so many men and women are infatuated and intoxicated by love. The taste of it is truly captivating."

"Men's joy and women's love are the right path."

Gao Xian chuckled, "Once you've tasted that feeling, you'll like it even more."

He had just casually teased Qiniang, but to his surprise, she responded with anticipation, "The time has come, we should give it a try."

She then earnestly said to Gao Xian, "You better refine your body well, otherwise, when the time comes, if you can't keep up, it won't look good on your face."

"Haha..."

Although Gao Xian knew he couldn't match her, he wouldn't admit defeat. He proudly declared, "Don't underestimate me just because you're at the Foundation Building stage. When it comes to a real fight, I'll defeat you!"

Although Zhu Qiniang was straightforward, she also knew the importance of preserving a man's self-esteem. She simply smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

Gao Xian cleverly changed the subject, "Li Shuanglin is quite cunning. You go meet him, and I'll provide support from the outside..."

"Yes, it's better if you don't show up, so as not to arouse his suspicion."

Zhu Qiniang thought it was best for Gao Xian to remain hidden. Although Gao Xian could kill Zhu Changsheng, his actual combat power was far inferior to that of a Foundation Building cultivator.

The two of them left the courtyard, sending Da Niu home. He couldn't help with what was to come.

After Da Niu left, Gao Xian activated his Shadowless Robe technique and followed behind Qiniang. They arrived at the entrance of Li Shuanglin's house, where two black-robed enforcers of the law were chatting. It was broad daylight, so they were relatively relaxed as gate guards.

When they saw Zhu Qiniang approaching with large strides, both guards were startled. They recognized Zhu Qiniang.

After the incident at Changsheng Hall, where it was rumored that Zhu Changsheng had died, they thought Zhu Qiniang had also died long ago. They didn't expect her to show up here today.

Zhu Qiniang said in a deep voice, "Please inform Li Shuanglin that Zhu Qiniang requests an audience."

"Wait a moment." One of the black-robed guards hurriedly entered the gate to deliver the message.

In no time, the guard returned and led Zhu Qiniang into the Li family.

Meanwhile, Gao Xian silently passed through the walls and protective formations, following Qiniang parallel to her.

They continued until they reached outside the main room, where Gao Xian stopped. If he went any further, Li Shuanglin would likely discover him. It was safer to stay a little further away.

He had the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, so he could still see the situation inside the main room from where he stood.

Li Shuanglin was dressed in a black robe, lazily sitting in the main seat with an indifferent expression.

He didn't pay much attention to Zhu Qiniang, considering her to be just a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level. However, it was good that Zhu Qiniang was still alive. Perhaps she could clarify what had happened that day.

When Zhu Qiniang entered the room, Li Shuanglin sensed that something was amiss.

In his spiritual sense, Zhu Qiniang appeared full of energy, and a faint spiritual light shimmered at the center of her brow.

He suddenly straightened his back and his expression turned serious. "You've reached Foundation Building?!"

Zhu Qiniang calmly clasped her hands together, "Qiniang pays her respects to Elder Li."

She paused for a moment before adding, "Elder Li truly has sharp eyes, I admire you."

Upon hearing Zhu Qiniang's admission, Li Shuanglin's face changed again. His gaze became more guarded and suspicious.

He pondered to himself, "When did this woman reach Foundation Building? Could she be the one hiding in Feima City who is at the Foundation Building stage? That would explain everything! But what about Zhu Changsheng? What does it mean for her to come looking for me?"
