Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 189: A Perfect Match

"Nan Lao, calm down, calm down..." Gao Xian saw the old man getting agitated to the point of tears, so he quickly tried to comfort him. He didn't want the old man to die in front of him.

He spoke softly, "Let's talk slowly and discuss everything."

Gao Xian wasn't intentionally trying to show off or manipulate the old man. He really didn't want to help raise a child, especially one so young.

It wasn't a matter of money, but rather the uncertainty of what would happen next. Would Yun Taihao keep his promise? Would he be able to enter the Qingyun Sect? These were all difficult to determine.

If things went south, he could run away with Qi Niang and Wan Yingying. But could such a young child withstand all the hardships?

Nan Pingsong tightened his grip on Gao Xian's hand, and the more Gao Xian tried to decline, the more Nan Pingsong trusted him.

The reason was simple. If Gao Xian wanted to deceive him, it would be easy. He could just casually agree. But when Nan Pingsong died, how would he handle a two-year-old child?

It was precisely because Gao Xian seriously considered the matter of raising a child that he found it troublesome.

Nan Pingsong anxiously said, "Gao Xian, do you know the origin of the Great Five Elements Technique?"

He stared at Gao Xian with his old eyes, and said with seriousness, "Do you know that the Great Five Elements Technique is just an ordinary cultivation method? No matter how exceptional your talent is, with the Great Five Elements Technique, you can only form a Third Grade Gold Core!"

Gao Xian looked deeply at the old man, who met his gaze without any hesitation, full of confidence.

Obviously, the old man wasn't lying to him. At least, he firmly believed in what he had said.

"Nan Lao is indeed formidable. Alright, I'll raise your son," Gao Xian smiled. The old man had some ability. He could let go of the Heavenly Magnetic Bead, but when it came to the secret of the Great Five Elements Technique, which was related to his future cultivation path, he couldn't ignore it.

"Is it a deal?" Nan Pingsong still couldn't completely trust Gao Xian.

Gao Xian chuckled and said, "What? Does Nan Lao want me to swear? Such matters rely on conscience. What use is there in swearing?"

He wasn't afraid to swear, he just felt it was meaningless.

Nan Pingsong sighed deeply, and the light in his old eyes dimmed. Yes, he could only trust Gao Xian's character. Besides that, oaths and such were useless.

Unless he reached the level of a Gold Core, he could swear on his Dao Heart. Even then, there were many ways to bypass oaths.

Nan Pingsong felt a great sadness. He had lived for nearly three hundred years and couldn't find a reliable person to trust. He could only trust a young man he had known for a few years!

Fortunately, he had lived for hundreds of years and had a strong foundation in cultivating his qi. He quickly adjusted his emotions.

He said to Gao Xian, "The origin of the Great Five Elements Technique can be traced back to the Five Elements Sect. Legend has it that the Five Elements Sect was ruled by the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, who was the overlord of Mingzhou."

"The Pure Yang Dao Ancestor turned into ashes during a tribulation, and the other major sects joined forces to attack the Five Elements Sect. Since then, the Great Five Elements Technique has spread and become a relatively common cultivation method in Mingzhou."

Gao Xian listened attentively. He really didn't know the origin of the Great Five Elements Technique, nor did he care.

Because he never knew that the Gold Core was divided into nine grades!

He suddenly thought of Yun Qingxuan. This girl might be younger than him, but she could make Yun Taihao, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, so respectful. Could it be because Yun Qingxuan had a Third Grade Gold Core?!

Nan Pingsong, as an elder responsible for passing down techniques, was well-versed in these stories. He explained the origin of the Great Five Elements Technique.

"In the process of spreading the Great Five Elements Technique, many of its profound principles were lost. The version of the Great Five Elements Technique in our sect is the simplest and most basic after being reorganized..."

Nan Pingsong said, "If you look at the true disciples of our sect, only those with poor aptitude would choose the Great Five Elements Technique. Others, like Yun Feiying, would cultivate the fundamental secret technique, 'Xuanxiao Nine Techniques'."

"Only with the 'Xuanxiao Nine Techniques' can one have the opportunity to condense a Third Grade Gold Core. It's very difficult to form a core with the Great Five Elements Technique, and even if one does, it will definitely be a Third Grade Gold Core."

Gao Xian nodded, learning from the elder. His master only taught him a little about alchemy, and in other aspects, he was no different from a wandering cultivator.

This knowledge shouldn't be a secret either. The senior disciples would explain and teach it every day, accumulating knowledge over time until it became common knowledge.

For casual cultivators, there is no way to obtain this common knowledge. They don't even know about this common knowledge.

"I saw from the classics that the essence of the scattered Five Elements Gong has been combined into another technique called 'Five Elements Qi Fusion Method'. By practicing both techniques together, one can elevate the rank of the Five Elements Gong and have a chance to condense a third-grade Gold Core..."

Nanpingsong had a request for Gao Xian, and he didn't dare to keep it a secret, so he told him everything he knew.

"The 'Five Elements Qi Fusion Method'?"

Gao Xian asked, "I wonder where I can find this technique?"

Nanpingsong helplessly replied, "Then I don't know."

"Understood, thank you for your guidance, Senior Nan."

Gao Xian deeply bowed and thanked him. Helping the old man raise his son may be troublesome, but what Nanpingsong said was crucial to his future path of longevity.

This matter is worthy of gratitude, deep gratitude.

Nanpingsong lifted the blanket and stood up. He deeply bowed to Gao Xian and returned the gesture, "I entrust my affairs to you, Fellow Daoist."

"I will definitely not disappoint your trust." Gao Xian didn't want to swear, but he would keep his promise.

Outside the main gate of the scripture hall, Zhu Ying was waiting anxiously. She hurriedly greeted Gao Xian and paid her respects.

To Zhu Ying's surprise, Gao Xian was actually holding a little boy in his arms. He looked chubby and cute, about two or three years old.

"What is this?"

Zhu Ying's first thought was that Gao Xian had a child out of wedlock, possibly with a woman sent by Nanpingsong.

Now that Gao Xian had reached Foundation Building, he dared to bring the child back to raise him himself!

She thought to herself, but didn't dare to show any unusual expression on her face. After all, Gao Xian was a Foundation Building cultivator!

Even Seventh Miss would find it difficult to restrain Gao Xian, let alone them as attendants. Moreover, Seventh Miss had repeatedly instructed her not to offend Gao Xian. Otherwise, they would bear the consequences!

Gao Xian didn't care about what Zhu Ying was thinking. He carried Nantianshou and boarded the Qingluo carriage.

The two or three-year-old child was just starting to understand things and could speak. With his big bright eyes, he was at the most adorable and playful age.

Nantianshou was not shy at all and kept grinning and laughing at him.

Gao Xian played with the child for a while and found it quite fun.

He was well aware that this little thing would need to eat, poop, pee, and even get sick. It was fun to play with him for a while, but taking care of him was not that simple.

Fortunately, there were many people in the Zhu family, and it wouldn't be difficult to find a few old maids to take care of him.

Back at home, Zhu Qimang saw Nantianshou and had a face full of question marks.

For Zhu Qimang, who always had a cold expression on her face, it was rare to show such a rich and layered expression.

"He is Nanpingsong's son. He is almost three hundred years old and can still have children. The old man is really capable..."

Gao Xian didn't want Zhu Qimang to misunderstand, so he explained Nanpingsong's situation.

Gao Xian took out a storage bag and showed it to Zhu Qimang, "This is from Nanpingsong. Inside are fifty thousand spirit stones, as well as several sets of magical tools and some spiritual objects, with a total value of one hundred thousand spirit stones. He said it's for Nantianshou's living expenses..."

Nanpingsong, such a stingy person, unexpectedly became so generous before his death. Since these things were said to be living expenses, they were meant for him.

The old man was also clever. With these things in his hands, how to use them was up to him. It was better to make the words sound nicer.

Zhu Qimang took the storage bag and glanced at it. She couldn't help but shake her head, indicating that she found the old man's thoughts very difficult to understand.

As an elder who passed on his skills and also liked to have children, over the hundreds of years, the Nan family had already become a large clan.

It's just that the direct bloodline of Nanpingsong probably had more than a thousand people.

As a result, Nanping Song abandoned his whole family and gave all the resources to this bed-wetting brat.

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Qiniang asked.

Gao Xian forced a smile and said, "What can I do? I've already agreed to take care of him. Help me find a few reliable old women to take care of him for now. We'll figure it out when he's older."

"Fine."

Although Zhu Qiniang was cold-hearted, she didn't have any other thoughts about the child. Just like Gao Xian, she thought raising a child was troublesome.

During the Lunar New Year, most people were resting. But at Zhu Qiniang's command, they found two experienced and reliable wet nurses in the afternoon, specifically responsible for taking care of Nantianshou.

To keep it a secret, Gao Xian changed the child's name. Well, Wan Yingying suggested calling him "Xiao Bai" (Little White).

The reason was that they already had a little black cat, so calling him Little White would make a matching pair.

Gao Xian thought it was good, so he decided to call Nantianshou Xiao Bai from now on.

This way, besides Qiniang, no one else knew Xiao Bai's true identity.

Nantianshou laughed happily, clearly having no objections to this.

With the child's issue resolved, Gao Xian entered seclusion in the quiet room.

The old man made a big fuss about the Tianci Bead, and he wanted to see what was so extraordinary about the Tianci Wheel.

Gao Xian had been at the Foundation Building stage for almost half a year, so normally he should cultivate some second-tier spells.

The problem was that there were restrictions in the Wind and Moon Mirror, and Gao Xian didn't dare to casually learn spells.

There were many flying spells in the second tier, such as Cloud Umbrella, Cloud Technique, and Heavenly Crane Technique, which all seemed good but had their own drawbacks.

The Tianci Wheel sounded quite powerful, so he decided to take a look first. After all, a good flying escape technique was indeed important.

Gao Xian held the Tianci Wheel in his hand and poured his divine sense into it, causing a dazzling golden magnetic light to transform into a complex and exquisite spell.

After a long time, Gao Xian finally opened his eyes, and the golden spiritual light in the Tianci Bead gradually converged.

The Tianci Wheel was indeed a very exquisite flying escape spell.

According to the formula, the heavens had the power of Tianci, so the sun, moon, and stars would not fall but revolve with the power of Tianci.

The earth had the power of Geoci, so it could bear all things and living beings.

The Tianci Wheel, although only a second-tier flying escape spell, had a grand concept.

Gao Xian's cultivation was still shallow, so he couldn't judge the truth or falsehood of the Tianci Wheel theory, but he felt that these statements made sense.

The Great Five Elements Technique he cultivated divided the heavens and earth into five elements and five energies, which was the fundamental theory of all cultivators.

Combined with the changes of Yin and Yang, it became the most important theoretical foundation for all cultivators' methods.

The theory of Tianci and Geoci could be well compatible with the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, making the changes of heaven and earth, Yin and Yang, clearer and more specific.

Gao Xian's theory was not good, but he had mastered the Yin and Yang Wheel spell to the level of a grandmaster, which gave him a certain understanding of Yin and Yang.

The Yin and Yang Wheel spell was mainly used to help him cultivate the Geoci Wheel, and the results were very good.

Although the Geoci Wheel couldn't fly, its speed on the ground was much faster than the Wind Riding Flying Art, mainly due to the blessing of the Yin and Yang Wheel.

Looking at it this way, the Tianci Wheel and the Geoci Wheel were indeed a pair, both of which could be compatible with the Yin and Yang Wheel.

With the blessing of the Yin and Yang Wheel, his Tianci Wheel would definitely reach a higher level.

Thinking of this, Gao Xian didn't hesitate anymore. He held the Tianci Wheel in his hand and stimulated the divine intent inheritance hidden within it with his divine sense.

The Tianci Wheel is equivalent to the Transmission Power Jade Scroll, and at the same time, it can gather the intangible and immaterial Tianci Divine Light, greatly enhancing the power of the Tianci Wheel.

With the inheritance of divine intent, Gao Xian's divine consciousness is exceptionally strong. In less than a day, he has already grasped the basics of the Tianci Wheel.

The Fengyue Treasure Mirror also contains annotations about the Tianci Wheel.

Tianci Wheel: Using the Tianci Divine Light as the wheel, it soars to the heavens, breaking through all laws and protecting the body and spirit from within. (131/1000 in the introductory stage)

After learning the Tianci Wheel, Gao Xian first entered the Heart and Mind Temple to test this technique.

When activating the Tianci Wheel, it would transform into a faint platinum halo with a diameter of about a foot behind his head.

The Tianci Wheel not only allows him to fly at high speeds but also provides spontaneous resistance against various external forces.

This halo would manifest when encountering external forces, and the stronger the force, the brighter the platinum radiance.

In terms of flight speed alone, the Tianci Wheel surpasses the Wind Riding Technique by more than double. Its flexibility in turning and retreating far exceeds the Wind Riding Technique.

This is only the beginning stage. If Gao Xian were to cultivate the Tianci Wheel to the level of a grandmaster, who knows how fast he could fly!

The power of the Electric Light Ring can also be combined with the Tianci Wheel, further increasing his speed.

After practicing the Tianci Wheel for a few days, Gao Xian is quite satisfied with this technique.

On the seventh day, Gao Xian suddenly had a whimsical idea: what would happen if he simultaneously activated the Tianci Wheel and the Dici Wheel?

From the theory of the Tianci Wheel, the Tianci Wheel and the Dici Wheel are naturally compatible, they are a perfect match.

Gao Xian has the Heart and Mind Temple. As long as he can think of it, he can achieve it.

He tried to activate the Tianci Wheel and the Dici Wheel at the same time, and unexpectedly, they coexisted harmoniously and seemed to complement each other.

Even when activating the Dici Wheel in the sky, it could still increase his speed. The same goes for on the ground.

When both the Tianci Wheel and the Dici Wheel are activated simultaneously, his speed can increase by more than thirty percent.

Gao Xian quickly realized the fundamental problem. He has the Yin-Yang Wheel to regulate the situation, so he can operate both the Tianci and Dici Wheels simultaneously, allowing the two types of powers to coordinate and form a whole.

The Tianci Wheel can lift him into the sky, but unfortunately, the Dici Wheel cannot take him underground.

Gao Xian suddenly remembered the mouse spirit that could burrow underground and the pearl it left behind.

This pearl possesses a strong earth power, and even Qiniang couldn't recognize its origin. Gao Xian had it appraised at the Yunsui Tower, but the other party was vague and couldn't explain it clearly.

Gao Xian also remembered what Yun Qiushui said, that any secret technique can be cultivated with the help of external objects.

He held the Earth Pearl in one hand and the Tianci Pearl in the other, attempting to activate the Yin-Yang Wheel, the Tianci Wheel, and the Dici Wheel.

He wanted to see if this could break through the limits of the Yin-Yang Wheel or quickly upgrade the Tianci Wheel and the Dici Wheel.

Gao Xian first simulated it in the Heart and Mind Temple, but when the powers of the two pearls intersected, he was forced to retreat from the temple.

This happened several times, and Gao Xian knew that it was beyond the scope of the Heart and Mind Temple simulation.

After considering it for a while, he decided to try it directly.

Although the Heart and Mind Temple couldn't simulate it, he had a strange intuition that these three techniques were very compatible, and the two spiritual objects were also suitable. He should gain something from this attempt.

Even if he didn't gain anything, it wouldn't be dangerous. This was the confidence of a Foundation Building cultivator.

The platinum spiritual light of the Tianci Pearl and the earthy yellow spiritual light of the Earth Pearl shone together.

At first, the two spiritual lights clashed like water and fire, but gradually, they began to rotate like circles, gradually integrating into one...
