Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 139: Going Home

Lianyun City is located north of Jinxia Mountain and south of Baicang River.

Lianyun Sect is established on Jinxia Peak. When viewed from above, Jinxia Mountain is covered in golden trees.

Under the sunlight, Jinxia Mountain appears as if it is draped in a layer of golden light, shining brightly.

Gao Xian knows that the tree is called the Golden Lush Tree, known as a rare species from the wilderness that can absorb the spiritual energy of gold to produce four-season invincible golden leaves.

Among the golden trees on the mountain, one can faintly see various buildings such as palaces, pavilions, and towers.

Each Golden Lush Tree is like a golden umbrella, covering ninety percent of Lianyun Sect. The exposed corner outside appears even more mysterious and exquisite.

By using the Flower Spirit Mirror, Gao Xian can observe Jinxia Mountain and see countless golden leaves shimmering and overlapping, resembling a sea of golden light that covers Lianyun City at the foot of the mountain.

After only a glance, he feels dizzy and disoriented. If it weren't for Lanjie appearing in time to help him control his spiritual consciousness, he might have fainted.

Gao Xian dares not look anymore. The protective formation of Jinxia Mountain is too powerful, possessing a fierce power that is a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than a Gold Core cultivator like Yun Taihao. It is not something he can explore.

The majesty and magnificence of Jinxia Mountain truly demonstrate the extraordinary aura of cultivators, evoking awe in people's hearts.

This exploration has made Gao Xian feel a strong sense of vigilance.

The Shadowless Robe can penetrate the protective formation in Li Shuanglin's house, but it is impossible to penetrate the protective formation of Lianyun Sect. The difference between the two is too great.

The invisible state of the Shadowless Robe is not truly invisible; it can still be affected by spiritual power.

Last time, when he killed Zhu Changsheng, he was almost shattered by the violent surge of spiritual power, breaking his invisible state.

Lianyun Sect has dozens of Foundation Building cultivators and even a Gold Core cultivator like Yun Taihao presiding over it. As a mere Qi Refining cultivator, it is better for him to be obedient.

Gao Xian's gaze shifts to Lianyun City. This large city, nestled against the mountains and water, is surrounded by a several-zhang-high green city wall. It is divided into sixteen areas by six long streets and three vertical streets, appearing quite orderly.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the buildings in the northern district are tall, spacious, and beautifully designed, clearly more prosperous and bustling.

In contrast, the buildings in the southern district are low, dilapidated, and exceptionally chaotic, resembling a large flea market.

The spiritual light from Jinxia Mountain spreads and completely covers Lianyun City.

The mountain and the city merge into one, presenting a harmonious connection. The intricate and exquisite circulation of spiritual energy involved is not something he can currently comprehend.

Gao Xian only remembers that Teacher Xu Mingyuan's home is in the western district, with dozens of disciples.

Teacher Xu is also impartial in his teachings and is willing to guide anyone with a bit of talent. Of course, these disciples eventually became his tools for making money.

Among the many disciples, he is inconspicuous, only having some talent in alchemy, which is why he was sent to Feima Market.

The Green Wood Flying Ship smoothly lands in a designated area outside the east gate. As an esteemed passenger in the top-level single room, Gao Xian disembarks directly from the front passage.

Ordinary passengers disembark from the rear, carrying various luggage and belongings, creating a chaotic mess.

Gao Xian takes a glance at these cultivators and feels a sense of emotion. Three years ago, when the original owner came to Feima Market, it was also in such a sorry state.

Three years later, everything is different.

In his memory, he doesn't have many memories of Lianyun City. Returning to Lianyun City, he deeply feels the abundant spiritual energy here, far surpassing Feima Market. It is a good place for cultivation.

Coming back was the right choice!

A crude wooden fence separates the landing area of the Green Wood Flying Ship. As soon as Gao Xian steps out of the gate, two people come forward with smiles, "Where is Dao Lord going? Our Golden Source Inn is safe and comfortable, and a single room is only five spirit coins per day..."

"Master Dao, our Quanfu Inn provides car pick-up and drop-off services, with three meals included for a day."

The man lowered his voice and said with a lewd expression, "We also have female attendants who have trained at the Endless Pleasure Sect, offering affordable prices to satisfy your desires..."

Gao Xian glanced at the man, unsure if it was because Lianyun City had a developed service industry or if the man was just making things up to attract customers.

"A Xian,"

Before Gao Xian could speak to the man, he heard Qiniang's voice in his ear.

Gao Xian looked up and saw Qiniang standing next to a carriage. There was no smile on her face, but her bright green eyes sparkled with joy.

Today, Qiniang was wearing a robe with a combination of gold and red, and faint flashes of light resembling golden maple leaves could be seen on it. She wore a golden fish-tail crown on her head and a long black sheathed sword at her waist, exuding an air of nobility.

After not seeing each other for several tens of days, Qiniang's appearance hadn't changed, but her robe, crown, and sword were all at the second-tier level.

Behind her was a luxurious double-horse carriage with carved cloud patterns and dragon and phoenix motifs on the wooden frame. It had a green silk umbrella as a roof and green curtains on the outside, quite magnificent. There was a strong and sturdy woman standing by with a long whip in her hand, obviously the coachman.

Qiniang already had an extraordinary bearing, and with the luxury of a fine horse and carriage, she naturally had the imposing aura of a Foundation Building cultivator.

The two men surrounding Gao Xian also noticed Qiniang. Although they didn't recognize her, they could tell she was a Foundation Building cultivator. Their faces changed and they bowed and retreated in a somewhat panicked manner.

Gao Xian also smiled. After not seeing each other for several tens of days, Qiniang had changed a lot, and he could feel some pressure from her.

"You're here."

He walked over with a smile and greeted, "Thank you, Qiniang, for personally coming to pick me up. I'm honored."

He had sent Qiniang a letter before coming, so her appearance was not unexpected.

Qiniang was used to Gao Xian's jokes and didn't mind. It had been a long time since she had seen Gao Xian, and now seeing him looking elegant and carefree, she was filled with joy, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

The coachman, Zhu Ying, on the side was shocked.

During this period, Qiniang had established connections and successfully became an elder of the outer sect of the sect. She used iron and blood methods to cleanse the Zhu family, and all those who resisted were executed.

In just a few tens of days, Qiniang had effectively taken control of the Zhu family.

There was a Foundation Building cultivator who wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize the Zhu family's assets.

For this, Qiniang directly sent a challenge letter to that Foundation Building cultivator. The two cultivators fought to the death on the life and death stage of the Lianyun Sect, and Qiniang severely injured her opponent.

In this battle, Qiniang gained the respect of the entire Lianyun Sect. She firmly grasped the power of the Zhu family, and no one dared to oppose her anymore.

The young man in front of them, who knows where he came from, dared to speak so lightly to Qiniang, truly ignorant of life and death!

What surprised Zhu Ying even more was that Qiniang didn't care at all. Instead, she affectionately held Gao Xian's hand and got on the carriage.

Although Zhu Ying didn't dare to look too much, she was also taken aback. Many people privately said that Qiniang had a male pet in Feima Ji, and it seemed to be true!

This male pet was indeed handsome, but he seemed a bit too presumptuous!

Zhu Ying couldn't understand why someone who was just a plaything would have such an imposing manner, and how could Qiniang tolerate his teasing?!

From this, it could be seen that this person held an important position in Qiniang's heart.

Zhu Ying, like Qiniang, came from a side branch of the family and had interacted with Qiniang before. When Qiniang came to power, she chose Zhu Ying as her personal bodyguard.

For her, apart from ability, loyalty and reliability were the most important qualities in a personal bodyguard. They also had to understand Qiniang's thoughts.

Since Qiniang valued this person so much, Zhu Ying naturally had to take it seriously. Even if she couldn't please this person, she must not offend him.

While Zhu Ying was thinking about this, she heard Qiniang's voice from behind the curtain, "Go to the Xu family in Ping'an Street, West District."

The green curtain seems light and thin, but it can withstand wind and rain, isolate sound, and prevent outsiders from prying.

It was not Zhu Qiniang who took the initiative to transmit sound outside, so Zhu Ying had no idea what was being said or done behind the curtain.

Zhu Ying responded in a deep voice, gently shaking the reins. The two fiery red horses, trained for a long time, smoothly started moving forward after receiving instructions.

Gao Xian, sitting in the carriage, didn't feel any vibration. The shock absorption effect was even better than the top-class sedan he had in his previous life.

Gao Xian curiously looked around. The carriage was spacious enough for four people to play mahjong, and there was also room for two attendants to serve tea.

The two Huangli wood benches were quite large, enough for two people to lie side by side. They were covered with lake green brocade, low-key and elegant, and sitting on them was soft and comfortable.

In the middle of the seats, there was a long tea table with fruits and desserts on top, and drawers underneath for storage.

In one corner of the carriage, there was a small three-legged bronze incense burner in the shape of a lotus flower, emitting a long and gentle fragrance that wafted with wisps of white smoke.

"Very luxurious."

Gao Xian couldn't help but exclaim. He had spent several years in Feima City, but he had never seen such exquisite luxury.

Zhu Qiniang calmly said, "This carriage is Zhu Changsheng's vehicle, called the Qingluo Carriage, and it is a magical tool. That's why it can travel so smoothly. This thin curtain is enough to resist ordinary second-level spells.

"It's worth at least seven to eight thousand spirit stones. Unfortunately, it's just a plaything and not very useful.

"Even Yun City and Jinxia Mountain prohibit flying. This carriage is quite convenient. More importantly, it has a grand appearance that makes people not dare to underestimate it, saving a lot of trouble..."

Gao Xian nodded in approval. "A Foundation Building cultivator should have this kind of grandeur."

This Qingluo Carriage, placed in his previous life, was equivalent to a customized bulletproof luxury car. It not only symbolized power and status, but also had high security.

Thinking about the days of hardship with Qiniang in Feima City, he couldn't help but sigh. Qiniang had completely changed now.

Seeing Gao Xian's envious and pleased expression, Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but smile. "If you like this carriage, I'll give it to you. It will also be convenient for you to come and go in Yun City."

"No need for that."

Gao Xian shook his head. "There's trouble with my master. It's not good for me to travel in a high-profile manner every day."

He then asked, "Qiniang, do you know what happened to my master?"

If it weren't for the mismatched timing, Gao Xian would have thought that Qiniang had killed his master, Xu Mingyuan.

"I'm not sure. It seems he went into the mountains to collect herbs and then disappeared."

Zhu Qiniang said, "It's been such a long time without any news, so he's probably dead."

She continued, "You didn't like Xu Mingyuan anyway, so it's a good thing he's dead. It saves a lot of trouble."

Gao Xian said, "For me, it's a good thing. But I'm afraid there might be some grudges involved, and the killer won't stop there. That's the real trouble."

"It's hard to say."

Zhu Qiniang said, "Although Yun City has protective formations, they are for external threats, not internal ones. The city is not safe, so you must be careful."

Gao Xian nodded, his expression somewhat complicated. "I still don't quite understand why my master's wife sent me a message and asked me to come back from so far away."

"Maybe she missed you," Zhu Qiniang casually said.

Gao Xian glared at Qiniang. "Even a Foundation Building cultivator shouldn't speak recklessly!"

Zhu Qiniang calmly said, "I'm not against you finding a woman. If you really have a private relationship with your master's wife, you should keep it hidden. If it's discovered, your reputation in Yun City will be ruined."

"It's not a big deal anyway."

Gao Xian seemed confident on the surface, but he felt a bit uneasy inside. He had no contact with Bai Yurong, but he couldn't guarantee that the original owner was pure and flawless.

Zhu Qijiang was not concerned about this matter. She just reminded Gao Xian not to act recklessly.

This is not Feima Gathering. There are dozens of Foundation Building cultivators and a Gold Core cultivator on Jinxia Mountain.

Their powerful forces penetrate every level of Liyun City, forming various factions and organizations.

The situation in Liyun City is much more complicated than Feima Gathering.

Zhu Qijiang was afraid that Gao Xian didn't know the depth of it and would accidentally step into a pit.

She reminded Gao Xian again, "Once your reputation is tarnished, it will give others an excuse to attack you. Liyun City is more prosperous and lively than Feima Gathering, and the struggles are more brutal. After Xu Mingyuan's death, I don't know how many people are eyeing the wealth of the Xu family. You must be careful."

"I understand," Gao Xian said. "I just came back to take a look. I'm not interested in the teacher's property..."

After a while, the Qingluo carriage slowly stopped.

Zhu Ying, who was driving in front, jumped off the carriage and respectfully whispered, "Sir, we have arrived."

Zhu Qijiang looked at the Xu family through the curtain and saw the red gate with tall stone lions on both sides, and seven steps leading up to the gate, which looked quite grand.

"Shall I accompany you in?" she said. "It can reduce a lot of trouble."

Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'm just an inconspicuous named disciple. No one will target me. Bringing you in will only arouse suspicion among my fellow disciples."

"Alright, be careful. I live in the backyard of the North District's Changsheng Hall, easy to find."

Zhu Qijiang reminded Gao Xian a few more times, repeatedly asking him to be safe. If there was really something, he should come back and find her. After all, there were too many experts in Liyun City, and there was no need to take risks.

Gao Xian got off the carriage, and Zhu Ying, who was standing by, respectfully smiled and nodded at the woman. Only then did Gao Xian lightly brush his sleeves and step up the steps.

The main gate was tightly closed, but the side door was open.

Gao Xian didn't hesitate and walked through the side door. A person came out of the side room, who was originally a little unhappy, but when he saw Gao Xian's handsome and extraordinary appearance, his eyes shining like stars, dressed in a green robe with a sword at his waist, and an extraordinary aura, he immediately changed his expression. He respectfully bowed and asked, "Esteemed guest, may I ask what brings you here?"

This person was in his thirties, with small eyes and slightly dark skin. He had a thin mustache and was wearing a gray robe, giving off a somewhat sleazy vibe.

At this moment, he smiled humbly, appearing even more humble.

Gao Xian remembered this person, Jiang Cheng, who ranked seventh among his fellow disciples. He was clever and always followed their teacher.

He smiled and clasped his hands at Jiang Cheng, "Senior Brother Jiang, don't you recognize me? I am Gao Xian."

Jiang Cheng was greatly surprised. He remembered that their teacher had such a named disciple, who was sent out to make money at a young age.

He looked at Gao Xian again, and indeed, his appearance was correct. However, his temperament had changed so much. Moreover, Gao Xian's aura was deep, and he seemed to be in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Jiang Cheng's face was full of doubt. He awkwardly explained, "Junior Brother Gao, you have changed so much that I didn't recognize you..."

Thank you to the readers who have supported me. I am truly grateful for your donations. I cannot thank each and every one of you who have subscribed and voted, but I bow to you in gratitude.
