Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 18: Fire Dragon

The sun was already high in the sky when Gao Xian woke up.

Last night was truly thrilling. The battles, the killings, the disposal of bodies, and the handling of loot had all consumed a great deal of Gao Xian's energy.

After practicing the Great Couple Divine Technique with Lan Jie, Gao Xian was exhausted to the extreme. He didn't even have the energy to worry about the consequences of killing someone and slept soundly.

Gao Xian sat on the bed, lost in thought as he replayed the events of last night in his mind.

He touched his chest, feeling the thick and tough texture of the Black Scale Armor, which reassured him that everything he remembered was real.

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh. As a middle-aged office worker, he had always been diametrically opposed to gambling and drugs. He considered himself a good person.

No matter how justified his reasons were for killing Lao Wang, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He leaned against the window and glanced outside through the gap. There was no one in the courtyard, not even a ghost.

Under the scorching sun, the muddy ground had already dried up, leaving behind many pockmarks, but no traces of blood could be seen.

"Meow..."

The little black cat called out to Gao Xian from a distance. Its tail was tense, its waist slightly arched, showing a very vigilant and nervous posture.

Gao Xian was a little puzzled. He played with the cat every day, and their relationship was intimate. Why was the cat acting like this today?

He reached out to beckon the cat, but the little black cat slowly backed away.

"Is it just hungry and in a bad mood?"

Gao Xian didn't pay too much attention to it. He wasn't in a good mood either and didn't feel like coaxing the cat.

After getting off the bed, he performed a cleansing spell to take care of his personal hygiene.

Then he washed the rice, cut the meat, and cooked a meal.

When the hand-grabbed rice was ready, Gao Xian divided a small bowl for the little black cat. He held a small wooden basin and brought a bowl of rice.

The spirit rice was fragrant, and the monster meat was rich and oily. Gao Xian was also very hungry and made a large pot of rice, eating until he was full.

He poured himself another pot of boiling water, feeling content.

The little black cat had been waiting for Gao Xian to leave before cautiously approaching to eat. While eating, it remained alert and kept an eye on Gao Xian.

Gao Xian gave the little black cat a disdainful look. The ungrateful cat had forgotten about him but remembered to eat!

After eating his fill and drinking enough, Gao Xian sat down to practice as usual, circulating the Five Elements Technique through the seventy-two meridians.

After finishing his cultivation, Gao Xian's mind was clear, and his thinking was particularly active. He began to reflect on the gains and losses of last night's battle.

He had performed poorly last night, making several mistakes. If it weren't for the Golden Body Talisman, he would have been killed by Lao Wang's sword.

In battles between cultivators, life and death could be decided in an instant. He couldn't afford to be so careless in the future.

Fortunately, Lan Jie was really powerful. During the battle, she spontaneously helped him condense talismans, enhance his strength, and strengthen his senses.

In terms of casting spells and using magical tools, Lan Jie saved him a lot of tedious steps and played a crucial role.

It could be said that Lan Jie was the fundamental reason for their victory.

The Great Couple Divine Technique was more important and powerful than the Electric Dragon Hand. However, it required a lot of human spiritual light to level up, which couldn't be achieved in a short period of time.

Next, the White Plum Needle was decent in terms of power, but its upper limit was not high enough to rely on.

On the other hand, spells had stronger power and a higher upper limit, so they were worth practicing.

Lastly, body techniques were really useful.

Lao Wang was right. Close-range combat with a sword was much stronger than spells.

Even with Lan Jie helping him condense talismans, his speed in casting spells and using magical tools couldn't match Lao Wang's sword.

Of course, it was also because they were too close to each other. He must pay attention to this in the future.

Practicing Body Refining Technique could make his body more agile, his reactions faster, and his strength stronger.

In last night's battle, he could clearly see Lao Wang's movements, but his body couldn't synchronize with his mind. It was because his body technique was too weak.

Huang Ying, the owner of the weapon shop, also said that regardless of the cultivation path, the physical body was the foundation.

Therefore, he needed to find an opportunity to practice Body Refining Technique.

Gao Xian felt that practicing Body Refining Technique was not reliable enough, so he thought of finding a way to enhance the Electric Dragon Hand. Perhaps he could take a shortcut...

In the end, he still had to rely on the Wind and Moon Mirror to fully tap into its energy!

Using the Wind and Moon Mirror required human spiritual light.

How could he quickly obtain more human spiritual light?

Gao Xian hadn't figured out the mechanism for generating human spiritual light yet, but he guessed it was related to the affairs between men and women.

He gained human spiritual light by helping Zhu Qiuniang and Qingping with their "services." The cause and effect in this situation was very simple, and he could understand the logic behind it.

The problem was that the Deer Antler Powder could also bring human spiritual light, which was difficult to explain.

When others took Deer Antler Powder and enjoyed themselves, they generated human spiritual light.

But how did the Wind and Moon Mirror know about this process? And how did it obtain human spiritual light from it?

From the perspective of the scattered deer antler powder, as long as he can guide the affairs of love and romance, it is possible to obtain the enlightenment of humanity.

If I copy a book of "The Plum in the Golden Vase" and distribute it, I wonder if I can collect the enlightenment of humanity?

Or open a massage parlor and provide health services for female cultivators, that could also be a shortcut...

As long as Lao Wang's affairs don't get exposed, the future will be bright.

When Gao Xian thought of this, he suddenly felt uneasy.

The fleeting shadow from last night somehow appeared in his mind.

"Suspicions breed demons! It's just killing an old thief, no need to scare myself!"

Gao Xian felt that it was probably his first time killing someone, which made him suspicious and fearful!

He forced himself to remain calm and not think about these things. Since Lao Wang had accidentally damaged the alchemy room, it was a perfect opportunity to use the Fire Dragon Plan!

Throughout history, whenever the accounts didn't match up, the Fire Dragon Plan could solve the problem, making it a divine plan!

Five hundred White Dew Pills were exchanged for one Scarlet Blood Pill, and this deficit couldn't be made up for no matter what.

Gao Xian understood that day that since he couldn't make up for the deficit, he might as well not try.

Telling Zhu the shopkeeper the truth would be like handing over his own handle to the other party. From now on, he would have to let Zhu the shopkeeper manipulate him.

It would be better to use the Fire Dragon Plan and burn everything. He could just accept the loss!

Although he would be the one to bear this part of the loss, Zhu the shopkeeper couldn't find fault with him. This was crucial.

Of course, before setting the fire, he had to make the most use of the medicinal materials.

Gao Xian rallied himself and pushed the fleeting shadow to the back of his mind. Whether that shadow was real or an illusion, it hadn't emerged yet, so it didn't have a real impact on him.

Now, he needed to focus on the task at hand.

Gao Xian sorted a batch of medicinal materials, leaving only ordinary herbs that could barely make a furnace of scattered deer antler powder.

The broken window in the alchemy room didn't affect the alchemy process. It was currently late summer, and the weather was still a bit hot and stuffy.

The broken window actually improved ventilation.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Gao Xian started the furnace to refine the scattered deer antler powder.

When it came to this elixir, he was a master. During this period, he had been refining elixirs continuously and had made great progress in all aspects.

It wasn't even dark yet, and the scattered deer antler powder was already out of the furnace, yielding over 120 pills.

This time, in order to distinguish it from other scattered deer antler powders, Gao Xian added blue cherry blossoms to the cinnabar, mainly for coloring.

Including the previously refined scattered deer antler powder, Gao Xian repackaged them all into blue pills.

Gao Xian finished packaging the scattered deer antler powder. These pills were not only money, but also the enlightenment of humanity!

Calculating based on the number of over ten thousand cultivators in the Feima Sect, there were at least six to seven thousand male cultivators.

Even if only one-tenth of them were old lechers, they would consume hundreds of scattered deer antler pills in a day.

This business had great potential.

The only problem was that Lao Wang had died, and he needed to find a suitable agent.

Gao Xian knew very few people, and for a while, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Through this cooperation with Lao Wang, he also realized the ferocity of cultivators. Choosing a partner had to be done carefully.

Once he dealt with Lao Wang and resolved the issue of the deficit in medicinal materials, he would have nothing to worry about. These matters could be handled slowly.

Gao Xian first went to the herbal shop and delivered the refined Solid Yuan Pills and Qi Returning Pills.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiuniang wasn't there, only Zhu the shopkeeper.

Zhu the shopkeeper was very satisfied with Gao Xian's proactive performance and praised him a few times.

However, it was only verbal praise. There were no substantial rewards, and Gao Xian wasn't even invited to have dinner.

After returning from the herbal shop, Gao Xian cooked his own meal, ate his fill, and then practiced cultivation for seventy-two weeks.

When he opened his eyes again, it was completely dark outside.

Gao Xian packed up his important items and searched around for the little black cat, but couldn't find any trace of it.

He decided to ignore it. As long as it wasn't in the room, it was fine.

Gao Xian aimed a Flame Bomb at the room where the medicinal materials were stored.

The flammable charcoal and wood chips were ignited by the high temperature, and some of the medicinal materials quickly caught fire.

Gao Xian then threw two more Flame Bombs, blasting holes in the back wall of the room.

With ventilation from both ends, the flames quickly grew, engulfing the roof in a bright red glow.

Gao Xian thought it was about time and hurriedly ran to the herbal shop to find someone.

By the time Zhu the shopkeeper followed Gao Xian back, the roof had collapsed.

The burning house illuminated the courtyard, and Zhu the shopkeeper glanced coldly at Gao Xian, suspicion undisguised in his small eyes...
