Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 143: Incomprehension

Lianyun City, Western District, Changsheng Hall's backyard.

This courtyard is not large in scale, consisting of three entrances and two courtyards, all made of brick and wood. The spatial layout is generous and simple, with solid materials. Although it cannot be considered exquisite, it is quite impressive.

The main house area is enveloped in a layer of faint blue spiritual light, like a translucent blue tent, covering most of the backyard from top to bottom.

Gao Xian walked around the backyard and didn't find anything unusual. Then he took out a green jade pendant and passed through the formation to enter the backyard.

The green jade pendant is engraved with many runes and has a subtle resonance with this hexagonal formation. Holding the jade pendant allows free passage within the formation.

The hexagonal formation is a first-order formation known for its stability and solidity, consuming about three spirit stones per day.

Maintaining such a formation all year round requires thousands of spirit stones. This is also a huge expense.

Under normal circumstances, the hexagonal formation would only be activated at night.

When Gao Xian came during the day, Qiniang gave him this jade pendant to facilitate his free entry and exit.

The hexagonal formation is not of a high level, and Gao Xian can pass through the formation with his Shadowless Robe, but doing so is impolite and unnecessary.

As soon as Gao Xian entered the courtyard, Zhu Qiniang came out to greet him.

She was wearing a thin yellow sweatshirt, standing barefoot. The powerful spiritual energy of a Foundation Building cultivator allowed her to effortlessly float in the air, without a speck of dust on her feet.

Gao Xian envied this, "Foundation Building is great, you can float in the air at any time."

His magnetic wheel can also glide in the air, but the difference between it and the aerial flight of a Foundation Building cultivator is too great.

Zhu Qiniang looked Gao Xian up and down and said helplessly, "You have a murderous aura again, did you kill someone?"

"In the martial world, one's actions are not always under one's control."

Gao Xian walked over and held Zhu Qiniang's delicate hand, "Let's go inside and talk."

Zhu Qiniang frowned slightly but didn't say anything. She wasn't afraid that Gao Xian would kill someone, she just didn't want him to act so recklessly.

Lianyun City is not Feima City. The forces here are intertwined, and one wrong move could provoke a Foundation Building cultivator.

Zhu Changsheng's main business is alchemy and he is not good at fighting. Plotting against Zhu Changsheng is one thing, but being enemies with other Foundation Building cultivators is another.

Zhu Qiniang really wanted to remind Gao Xian not to be careless, but she had already completed Foundation Building. Moreover, saying such things would easily make Gao Xian feel like she was giving orders from a position of superiority, causing unnecessary resentment.

No matter how close the relationship between the two sides, there are still some things that cannot be said directly.

The two sat down in the living room, and Gao Xian took out a large pile of magical tools and talismans from his storage bag, all piled up on the square table.

Seeing so many things, Zhu Qiniang knew that Gao Xian had killed many people.

She casually picked up a yellow robe. This robe had a reddish hue in the yellow, with a thick texture, faintly revealing a golden iron-like quality.

"Crimson Iron Robe, made from a mixture of crimson iron, fire crystal, and ice silkworm silk, a top-grade first-order item, with the addition of a second-order golden light technique. Valued at four thousand spirit stones..."

After Zhu Qiniang advanced to the Foundation Building stage, her divine sense became more than ten times stronger than before, and her appraisal skills also improved significantly.

As soon as she got hold of the robe, she could see the material of the robe and the most valuable golden light technique on it.

She looked at Gao Xian and said, "Could this Crimson Iron Robe be that Xu Shengye's?"

Gao Xian had just asked her about Xu Shengye in the morning. There weren't many people in Lianyun City who could afford a Crimson Iron Robe, so she easily came to the answer.

Gao Xian smirked and said, "Qiniang, your eyes are as sharp as a torch. Impressive, impressive."

Seeing that Qiniang's expression wasn't quite right, he explained, "It's not that I want to kill Xu Shengye, it's that Xu Shengye brought a group of people to try to rob the 'Three Elements Pill Scripture'.

"Xu Mingyuan treated me poorly, but Shiniang took good care of me. I couldn't do anything when I didn't have the ability, but now that I do, I can't just stand by and do nothing..."

Ignoring the intimate relationship between the original owner and Bai Yurong, he couldn't stand the greedy and malicious appearance of these people. And since it involved him, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

There was also the additional income. Well, he didn't care about fame and fortune or love money, taking these people's spiritual stones and magical artifacts was just a bonus. The main thing was to punish evil and promote justice when he saw injustice!

Zhu Qiniang took the initiative to hold Gao Xian's hand and said softly, "I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm worried about your safety.

"Xu Shengye has Xu Lingyun behind him, at the third level of Foundation Building. This person is proficient in alchemy, so it's not surprising that he covets the 'Three Elements Pill Scripture'.

"Since you've killed Xu Shengye, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even though Xu Lingyun has cultivated for a hundred years longer than me, I'm not afraid of him!"

At this point, Zhu Qiniang's tone became naturally more resolute and strong.

Gao Xian hurriedly reassured Zhu Qiniang, "It won't come to that, it won't come to that. Xu Lingyun doesn't know about Xu Shengye and the others. I did a clean job this time, wiping away all the bloodstains with cleansing techniques and disposing of the bodies properly. How could he find me?"

"There's really nothing to be afraid of, you don't have to worry."

Zhu Qiniang said seriously, "No matter what happens, I'll be with you."

Gao Xian was moved by her words. He had said the same thing to Qiniang before, but now that it came from her mouth, it had a different meaning.

He looked straight at Zhu Qiniang and took a long time to say, "Do you want a massage?"

Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what Gao Xian was thinking.

She was so serious, but Gao Xian's response was so out of place. This was also what set Gao Xian apart from others. Gao Xian was different from all other cultivators, and it was hard to describe the kind of temperament he had. That was also where his charm lay.

"Sure."

Zhu Qiniang readily agreed. She had already completed the Foundation Building stage and resolved the issue of her body's transformation, so she didn't really need a massage. But she enjoyed the intimate interaction with Gao Xian.

Gao Xian and Qiniang entered the bedroom. Although Qiniang had already reached the Foundation Building stage, she couldn't resist the Master-level Electric Dragon Palm technique.

Qiniang was soon pressed until her muscles and bones were soft, and fine sweat soaked her undershirt.

With Qiniang so tender and moist, her emerald eyes took on a hint of charm, and Gao Xian's mouth became increasingly dry.

Qiniang also became somewhat emotional, but she suddenly said, "I got the Qingyuan Tree leaves you use for cultivation, a total of thirty pieces. With your talent, you'll soon be able to advance to the eighth level of Qi Refining."

When it came to cultivation, Zhu Qiniang quickly calmed down.

She continued, "The Crimson Iron Robe is a top-quality robe that can be used by Qi Refining cultivators. Don't sell it, keep it for yourself. Just be careful not to let outsiders see it..."

Although the Crimson Iron Robe is only first-tier, its quality is better than many second-tier robes.

Such a top-quality robe is difficult to buy even if you have money.

Gao Xian nodded, agreeing that the quality of the Crimson Iron Robe was very good. Both he and Qi Niang were not lacking in money now, so it was indeed better to keep it for personal use.

"I will take care of the remaining items. The total value should be around five to six thousand spirit stones."

Qi Niang said softly, "You killed Xu Shengye and his group, which will definitely alert Xu Lingyun. Stay with me for these few days and don't go to the Xu family."

However, Gao Xian did not agree with this. He said, "It's difficult for Xu Shengye's death to be linked to me. Hiding will only make me appear guilty."

The world of cultivators has no internet, no mobile phones, and not even media like television or newspapers. Information is very closed off.

Strangers among cultivators are wary of each other, and the small circles they form are even more closed off.

Foundation Building cultivators may have strong power, allowing them to control the lower levels forcefully. However, this control is one-sided, and the information is actually more closed off.

He made the move because he saw that Xu Shengye and his group were secretive, and Xu Lingyun didn't know what they were up to.

As for Wu An and Jiang Cheng colluding with Xu Shengye in secret, his other senior brothers didn't know about it.

While each closed information loop may not be so tight, it is a huge obstacle for Xu Lingyun. Moreover, he did it so cleanly and efficiently that Xu Lingyun would only suspect other Foundation Building cultivators.

If Xu Lingyun could easily find out about him, then he must be a god!

As Gao Xian's cultivation level improved, he became more knowledgeable about cultivators. Cultivators have great power and sophistication, but they don't have the ability to know the past and future with just a finger snap!

At least Foundation Building and Gold Core cultivators don't have this ability. He has come a long way and has seen the limits of cultivators' abilities, so he no longer fears them.

Zhu Qi Niang didn't think so much. She simply felt that Gao Xian didn't need to return to the Xu family. But since Gao Xian insisted, she didn't say much.

Before dawn, Gao Xian quietly returned to the Xu family.

Without Jiang Cheng and the others, there was only Gao Xian in the front yard of the Xu family, making it quite deserted.

Gao Xian lay down for a while, waiting for the sun to rise, and then practiced his sword in the courtyard twice. Chunxiang ran over to bring him breakfast.

It was only at noon that Gao Xian finally saw Bai Yurong in the main hall.

After resting for a night, Bai Yurong seemed to be glowing all over, in a very good state.

Bai Yurong saw a smile on Gao Xian's face and said, "I was really drunk yesterday. Fortunately, Xiaoxian was there, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself..."

Gao Xian said, "I was also a little tipsy yesterday. The aftereffects of the alcohol were strong."

Seeing that Gao Xian didn't seem strange, Bai Yurong also breathed a sigh of relief.

She casually said, "You have a very high talent for alchemy. It's a pity that your master doesn't know where he hid the 'Three Elements Pill Scripture'!"

"My alchemy level is too low, so even if I had the 'Three Elements Pill Scripture', it wouldn't be of much use," Gao Xian said.

He has been studying the "Elixir of Immortality Scripture" recently, which is extremely profound.

Alchemy cannot be rushed, and he estimates that it will take several years to truly master the "Elixir of Immortality Scripture."

He doesn't care much about the "Three Elements Elixir Scripture." It's good to have it, but it's also fine if he doesn't.

Zhou Yuling said it well. Alchemy is ultimately just an external path, and cultivation is the foundation.

With the Deer Antler Powder and Tian Gui Pill, he can make a lot of money and gain a large amount of spiritual light from the human realm.

Although the alchemical formulas in the "Elixir of Immortality Scripture" are good, they can easily be bought with money. The same goes for his master's production of the Three Elements Elixir.

Cultivation encompasses a wide range of skills, and each skill requires countless efforts.

To achieve a high level of alchemy, it requires a great investment of energy and resources.

He has a promising future in cultivation, so there is no need to waste time and resources on other things.

Bai Yurong also noticed that Gao Xian doesn't seem to be very interested in the "Three Elements Elixir Scripture," which surprised her a bit.

She changed the subject and asked, "Xiaoxian, what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to the Feima Collection?"

Gao Xian shook his head, "I made an agreement with Changsheng Hall. I will help them with alchemy in Lianyun City in the future. I won't go to the Feima Collection."

"Zhu Changsheng is dead. I heard that the current head is called Zhu Qiniang, a newly promoted Foundation Building cultivator. It is said that she is very powerful."

Bai Yurong pondered for a moment and said, "It was your master and Changsheng Hall who signed the contract. Now that they have all left, the contract should be void."

"I can go to Changsheng Hall and negotiate with them. At worst, I can compensate them with some spirit stones."

Gao Xian shook his head, "I'm doing well at Changsheng Hall. Master doesn't need to worry."

Bai Yurong looked deeply at Gao Xian, but he seemed calm and showed no special emotions.

This puzzled her. Gao Xian had signed a very harsh contract with Xu Mingyuan and Changsheng Hall. How could he willingly serve them like a servant with his current cultivation level?

Gao Xian felt that Bai Yurong was a bit suspicious and didn't want to get too close to this master. After a brief conversation, he made an excuse and took his leave.

Bai Yurong didn't stop Gao Xian, but reminded him to come home often.

In the Xu family mansion, Xu Lingyun stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face. He had just looked around and found no bloodstains or signs of a fight.

The problem was that the room was too clean, obviously cleaned with cleaning techniques!

It was almost certain that Xu Shengye and his group had been dealt with.

To cleanly and efficiently deal with a group of mid to late Qi Refining cultivators without leaving any traces, only a Foundation Building cultivator could possess such power.

Xu Lingyun couldn't understand. Which Foundation Building cultivator would come to his house to attack? It was too arrogant, completely disregarding him!

This matter must be investigated thoroughly and cannot be let go easily.
