Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 153: Good Fortune (Three more for monthly votes!)

Yan Niang looked hesitant and carefully said, "Esteemed guest, Jiao Niang is a songstress and does not accompany guests..."

The Liuxiang Tower is a place of entertainment, but not all the women here accompany guests.

Of course, such excuses are usually just a way to avoid. Either the girl doesn't like the guest, or she wants to raise the price.

Yun Qiushui knew the tricks, and he glanced at Yan Niang. "Why say such disappointing words? Just tell me how many spirit stones."

Yan Niang hurriedly explained, "Esteemed guest, I have no such intention."

Yun Qiushui calmly said, "One thousand spirit stones."

He didn't give Yan Niang a chance to refuse and threw twelve blue medium-grade spirit stones at her. The two extra medium-grade spirit stones could be considered as Yan Niang's hard-earned money.

Yan Niang wanted to say something while holding onto the spirit stones, but she saw a hint of impatience on Yun Qiushui's face.

After hesitating, she ultimately didn't dare to speak up again. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he was not someone she could provoke.

As a songstress in the Liuxiang Tower, she should be prepared for this. Whether she liked it or not, she couldn't refuse this time.

Moreover, Gao Xian was exceptionally handsome, tall and upright, exuding a hint of elegance that even surpassed this young man in white.

For such an outstanding person, she would be willing to sleep with him even if she had to pay. Not to mention that the other party was so generous.

Yan Niang pulled Jiao Niang and left first, seemingly wanting to persuade her.

Gao Xian said to Yun Qiushui, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for this. I just acted on impulse."

Yun Qiushui lightly tapped his palm with a folding fan and casually said, "Compared to the lifespan of cultivators, which is as short as a mayfly's, why think too much, Fellow Daoist? Just grasp the present pleasure and enjoy it to the fullest..."

Gao Xian pondered for a moment and clasped his hands in a salute. "Fellow Daoist, you are carefree, while I am the one who is attached."

Yun Qiushui laughed heartily and praised, "That's how it should be. We cultivators cultivate with a firm heart and restrain our desires, all for the sake of better indulgence!"

"Fellow Daoist has great insight. I have learned from you."

Gao Xian looked at Yun Qiushui with a bit of admiration. Although he appeared to be less than twenty years old, his words carried the wisdom and ease of someone who had experienced the world.

He even suspected that this person was a powerful cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, disguising himself as a young man.

From the Flower-Reflecting Spirit Mirror, it was clear that the other party's body was definitely very young, not exceeding twenty years old.

In a short while, Yan Niang led the white-clad woman to Gao Xian's side. She had a smile on her face. "Esteemed guest, I entrust Jiao Niang to you. If she does anything foolish, please forgive her..."

Yun Qiushui lightly tapped the table with his folding fan. These two taps seemed to hit the hearts of all the women. Without anyone's order, the music naturally stopped, and the dancing women stood still in their original positions, not daring to move.

Yun Qiushui stood up and said, "Today has been enjoyable. Let's disperse."

He smiled at Gao Xian. "Fellow Daoist, don't waste this beautiful moment."

Gao Xian also stood up and saluted. "Fellow Daoist, your generosity is too much for me to repay."

He didn't mention the matter of the spirit stones. Since Yun Qiushui was treating him, it would be too vulgar to talk about money.

Those few cups of peach blossom wine would cost who knows how many spirit stones. Of course, this favor would have to be repaid when the opportunity arose.

Gao Xian said to the white-clad woman beside him, "I don't like the noise here. Come with me."

The white-clad woman lowered her eyes and bowed, appearing obedient to any arrangements.

Gao Xian took the lead and walked out of the spacious hall, with the white-clad woman quietly following behind him.

After leaving the Liuxiang Tower, Gao Xian led the woman southward and soon arrived at the riverbank of the Dajiang District.

This riverbank was more than ten miles long and guided the river water around the Dajiang District, making it quite important for the district.

At this moment, the full moon was slanting westward, almost reaching the fourth watch of the night.

Willows surrounded the riverbank, separating it from the buildings outside.

Under the cool moonlight, the sound of waves became more intense, but it seemed even more desolate.

Gao Xian turned around and faced the delicate lady ten steps away. The light in his left eye flickered slightly, indicating that the Flower-Sensing Spirit Mirror was continuously switching modes.

Under the power mode of the Flower-Sensing Spirit Mirror, he could see a trace of gloomy black energy hidden deep within the lady's brow.

Unfortunately, the lady had abundant vitality and a lively spiritual consciousness, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Even someone like Yun Qiushui might not be able to detect any issues with this woman.

As Gao Xian's spiritual power increased, the Flower-Sensing Spirit Mirror naturally became stronger.

When the lady was singing, Gao Xian didn't notice anything strange, but he vaguely felt that there was something peculiar about her aura.

There are countless methods for cultivators, so having a slightly strange aura is not a big deal.

It wasn't until Yun Qiushui misunderstood and thought he was interested in the lady, suggesting that she accompany him to bed, that the lady's emotions fluctuated. It was then that Gao Xian noticed the deep, gloomy, and icy black energy hidden in her brow.

Gao Xian was very familiar with the aura of evil spirits. Although this lady was alive, there was no doubt that the aura in her brow was that of an evil spirit.

He was just unsure whether the lady had been contaminated by evil energy or if she was an evil spirit herself.

In recent years, Gao Xian had encountered many evil spirits, and he was particularly cautious about them. Even when he arrived in Lianyun City, he had read many relevant books.

According to the records in these books, evil spirits can roughly be divided into two types: tangible and intangible.

Intangible evil spirits are diverse and unpredictable, and no one can clearly explain them.

The most common form of tangible evil spirits is when a corpse is contaminated by a strand of evil energy after death, turning into an evil spirit. Old Wang is a typical example of this.

In addition to this, there are many other forms of tangible evil spirits, such as infecting demonic beasts or possessing trees and houses, turning that place into a deadly area.

There is also a type where evil energy infects cultivators and occupies their bodies.

Living beings contaminated by evil spirits have an unmistakable aura of malevolence, and their physical forms undergo drastic changes, often losing their intelligence.

These types of evil spirits are very easy to identify.

However, this lady concealed her evil aura very well. Moreover, she was conscious, had abundant vitality, and even had a lively spiritual consciousness.

Gao Xian couldn't immediately discern what she was.

However, there was no need to discern it so clearly.

As long as he tried, he would be able to see the true form of this elegant and beautiful woman.

Gao Xian smiled faintly at the lady, "The moon is bright and the water is clear here. Let us enjoy a pleasant night together. I'm sure it will be quite an experience."

The lady's jade-like face showed a hint of surprise. Although it was late at night and the embankment was empty, there was no cover here.

Engaging in intimate activities here would be visible to others from afar. This handsome man's preferences were indeed quite peculiar!

She softly replied, "I will follow your instructions."

As she spoke, she slowly approached Gao Xian. At that moment, a hint of crimson and golden light suddenly flashed in Gao Xian's deep eyes.

The lady immediately became alert, instinctively closing her eyes and swiftly retreating backward, but she was a step too slow.

The crimson and golden light transformed into an invisible long spear, fiercely piercing into the black energy deep within the lady's brow.

Gao Xian's mastery of the Perfect Yang Spear was such that he could unleash it with a single thought. Its power far surpassed that of the Nine Yang Talisman, reaching the level of a second-tier spell.

This was because the Perfect Yang Spear had undergone a mutation and was already at the second-tier level.

With Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness comparable to the mid-stage of Foundation Building and Lan Jie's guidance, the Perfect Yang Spear's power was fully unleashed.

The lady was struck by the Perfect Yang Spear in the core of her Yin energy. She could no longer control her body and instinctively let out a sharp and high-pitched scream.

Seeing that something was wrong, Gao Xian didn't hesitate to continuously unleash the Perfect Yang Spear.

A hint of crimson and golden light flickered in his deep eyes, and in an instant, four consecutive Perfect Yang Spears bombarded the lady.

The lady staggered back from the bombardment. The fair skin on her body quickly melted away, revealing the pitch-black muscles underneath. These muscles rapidly expanded as if inflated.

In the blink of an eye, the lady transformed from a graceful beauty into a towering and ferocious monster.

To be precise, she had turned into a muscular black evil spirit, with a pair of fierce and malicious crimson eyes.

Having completed her transformation, the evil spirit naturally emitted a large amount of black mist, shrouding a large area around her.

Within the range of the black mist, Gao Xian felt a chilling sensation all over his body, as if he had suddenly entered a cold storage room in the middle of summer.

In order to ensure his safety, Gao Xian had already activated the Shadowless Robe and the Qingyuan Shield. The Golden Light Art, Shaoyang Talisman, and Fumo Heavenly Thunder Talisman were all prepared in his left sleeve.

He controlled the geomagnetic wheel and slid back twenty steps, maintaining a safe distance from the evil spirit.

When the evil spirit was hit by the Yang Spear just now, Gao Xian could have taken the opportunity to draw his sword, but the transformation of the evil spirit was very strange, and he didn't want to take any risks.

"I am like gold and jade, while my enemies are like tiles and stones."

The reason why it is difficult to kill this evil spirit in the Dajiang District is not because the evil spirit is strong, but because no one can find its trace.

If it were a Foundation Building level evil spirit, the cultivators in the Dajiang District would have been killed by the evil spirit long ago.

Evil spirits are different from cultivators. A cultivator will die if their head is cut off with a sword, but an evil spirit may not necessarily die.

Gao Xian would not take the risk of getting close and drawing his sword.

The fact that the five consecutive Yang Spears did not cause much damage to the evil spirit made Gao Xian even more vigilant.

Although the evil spirit in front of him is not at the second level of Foundation Building, it is obviously very special. It can even disguise itself as a songstress lurking in the Liuxiang Tower without leaving a trace.

In the books he has read, there is no record of this kind of evil spirit.

The black mist released by the evil spirit can obstruct vision and even spiritual consciousness, but it cannot block Gao Xian's Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror.

Through the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, Gao Xian can clearly see the state of the evil spirit. Although the evil spirit's eyes are still full of malice and ferocity, there is a hint of calmness, as if it possesses some wisdom.

This is an evil spirit that can think!

However, the five consecutive Yang Spears were not easy to endure, and the evil spirit's state was obviously not good, so it did not make any rash moves. It just quietly changed its position.

The evil spirit probably didn't expect that Gao Xian could see through the black mist.

At the same time, Gao Xian felt that someone outside was spying on him.

The other party used a mysterious spell to penetrate the dense and cold black mist and directly hit him.

Lan Jie, deep in his mind, sensed this.

"It should be Yun Qiushi."

Gao Xian immediately thought of the young man in white clothes who was as ethereal as clouds. Only this mysterious and profound cultivator could have such ability.

After considering it for a moment, he decided to activate the Ice Arrow spell first. Even if Yun Qiushi saw it, it wouldn't matter.

Ice Arrow is fast, powerful, and has strong penetrating ability, as well as a freezing effect.

After reaching the mastery level in both the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens and the Ice Arrow spells, the power of a single ice cone is comparable to that of an anti-material sniper rifle.

Not to mention Qi Refining cultivators, even Foundation Building cultivators cannot withstand the Ice Arrow spell with their bodies.

The evil spirit reacted quickly and changed its position when it heard the piercing whistle.

The Ice Cone was too fast. Before the evil spirit could move, a cold light had already shot into its chest.

The evil spirit instinctively tightened its whole body, and the black muscles naturally solidified into scales.

The transparent ice cone on its chest immediately shattered into a brilliant ice light, tearing a large hole in its tough and hard bones, muscles, and tendons.

The wound on its chest was three inches deep, and the black organs inside its body could be seen through the hole.

A look of horror appeared in its red eyes. After transforming into an evil spirit, it had undergone secret Body Refining techniques, and its body strength had become as strong as gold and iron, far surpassing the Qi Refining level. It was not much weaker than a Foundation Building level Body Refining cultivator.

Not to mention the Ice Arrow spell, which was a low-level spell, even a second-level spell would find it difficult to cause significant damage to it.

Who is this handsome man in front of her? How can his spells be so powerful!

Before the evil spirit could figure it out, the piercing whistle sounded in its ears again.

Several cold lights also reflected in its red eyes. In a state of great shock, it quickly closed its eyes and lowered its head, while raising its arms to protect its head.

Several cold glimmers shot towards it with a piercing whistle, accurately hitting the evil spirit's head seven times in a row.

Gao Xian had tested it before. It was probably due to the abundance of spiritual energy in this realm that sound could travel exceptionally fast.

The Ice Arrow Technique, no matter how fast it is, will still synchronize with the sound and cannot exceed the speed of sound. The same goes for the Qinglian Feihong Sword.

Fortunately, the Ice Arrow Technique is too fast, so it doesn't matter if the evil spirit synchronizes with the sound. The evil spirit raised its arms for protection, but couldn't block the cunningly angled ice cones.

Seven ice cones simultaneously exploded on the evil spirit's head, and within the burst of sparkling ice light, there were also thousands of black fragments. Those were the flesh and bones of the evil spirit that had been shattered.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the evil spirit's head was blown off, the skull was lifted, and the remaining small part of the brain was exposed. Only one red eye remained, dim and pitifully ferocious.

Gao Xian was somewhat surprised that the evil spirit's head was harder than its body and actually withstood his continuous barrage of ice arrows.

Moreover, black energy was churning on the shattered head of the evil spirit, and the destroyed half of the head was rapidly regenerating.

Fortunately, the Ice Arrow Technique was domineering, and it left the evil spirit dazed. It could only stand in place and heal its wounds, completely lacking the strength to counterattack.

Naturally, Gao Xian wouldn't be polite. He once again unleashed a Flame Bomb.

A fully leveled Flame Bomb from a Grandmaster was about the size of a glass marble, and it looked quite beautiful with its fiery red color.

This state of the Flame Bomb was quite stable, and holding it in his hand gave a smooth and hard porcelain-like sensation.

Under his spiritual consciousness, this state of the Flame Bomb became even faster, its mana eruption more violent, and the released temperature higher.

The red bullet whistled down and directly hit the evil spirit's head.

The intense flames erupted, and the high temperature capable of melting gold and iron was released violently under the push of mana.

The wriggling head of the evil spirit burst apart in the blazing flame light, and even its neck and chest were destroyed by the flames.

The mana impact from the explosion of the Flame Bomb also sent the remaining half of the evil spirit's body flying far away.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with the power of the Flame Bomb, but the explosion sound was too loud, and the released high temperature and mana impact were both violent.

Using it in a confined space could easily harm oneself. This was not a joking matter.

He led the woman in white to the embankment because he felt that an open space would be easier to use his techniques.

To Gao Xian's surprise, the evil spirit, with only half of its body left, was still wriggling on the ground, struggling as if trying to stand up. It hadn't completely died yet.

The shattered head under the flames turned into strands of black gas, quickly converging towards the incomplete body of the evil spirit.

The Six Yang Demon-Expelling Golden Shuttle hanging from Gao Xian's belt transformed into a beam of golden light, piercing through the body of the evil spirit with a low buzzing sound.

The golden shuttle repeatedly cut through, tearing the evil spirit's body into dozens of crisscrossing wounds. However, the black gas on the evil spirit's body churned, and these wounds quickly healed.

Gao Xian was a little disappointed. He had spent a lot of money on the Six Yang Demon-Expelling Golden Shuttle, but its power seemed mediocre, not even as good as his Flame Bullet.

At this moment, Gao Xian suddenly felt a connection. He turned his head and saw Yun Qiushui, dressed in white, already on the embankment.

Yun Qiushui held a circular jade pendant in her hand, and in the middle of the pendant, a radiant golden light condensed into a mirror.

Gao Xian immediately understood that Yun Qiushui was using this artifact to see through the black mist. It even illuminated his whole body, making him feel completely exposed. He had never seen such a mysterious artifact before. It showed how formidable Yun Qiushui was!

Now that Yun Qiushui had arrived, he couldn't delay any longer.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a Shao Yang Talisman. This talisman was worth two hundred spirit stones, making it quite expensive.

His Yang Spear couldn't kill the evil spirit, and it seemed that the Flame Bullet couldn't completely eliminate its evil energy either. The Six Yang Demon-Expelling Golden Shuttle was useless as well, so he decided to try the Shao Yang Talisman.

Gao Xian recited an incantation and pointed his finger, causing the Shao Yang Talisman to transform into a streak of crimson light that fell onto the evil spirit.

The crimson light surged like flames, causing the evil spirit to twist and struggle. Its tendons, bones, and muscles continuously melted, but it still managed to hold on.

When the crimson light dissipated, the evil spirit surprisingly still had half of its body left, and the evil energy on its body was still quite dense.

Gao Xian no longer hesitated. This evil spirit was strange, and his Crimson Dragon Devouring Moon technique probably couldn't quickly deal with it.

He directly activated a second-grade high-quality Fumo Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and a blue-green thunder light struck the evil spirit, erupting into thousands of fierce lightning bolts.

When the lightning dissipated, the evil spirit had been completely destroyed. The black gas that filled the surroundings also dissipated.

In the place where the evil spirit had been, there was only a round golden crystal the size of a pill.

Yun Qiushui also arrived by Gao Xian's side. When she saw the golden crystal on the ground, her eyes lit up. Feeling a bit emotional, she said to Gao Xian, "Fellow Daoist, impressive skills! Fellow Daoist, lucky!"
