Chapter 205: No Use, No Use

Gao Xian stared blankly at the stone wall in front of him, his heart still pounding as he let out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, I was cautious enough to send my clone in first to take a look! Otherwise, I would have lost my life!

That streak of green sword light came out of nowhere, leaving him with no time to react.

Even if it was his true body that entered, it would have been annihilated under that sword.

From his perspective, that sword was at least at the Gold Core level!

Gao Xian looked at the Green Lotus Sword Order in his hand. This thing claimed to leave treasures for future generations with fate, but damn it, it almost killed him!

Gao Xian couldn't let it go and thought that maybe there was a restriction left at the entrance of the Grotto-Heaven!

Should I give it another try?

A small Grotto-Heaven appeared before Gao Xian's eyes, and he couldn't help himself. He once again activated the Green Lotus Sword Order to open the small Grotto-Heaven and sent another clone in.

Unsurprisingly, this clone was instantly killed by the green sword light, and then the door to the Grotto-Heaven closed automatically.

Gao Xian fell silent. Of course, he couldn't let it go, but he only had two clones, and after being killed, it would take twelve hours before he could split them again.

He had originally planned to finish quickly and go back to celebrate the New Year with Qi Niang.

Now it seemed that he couldn't go back temporarily.

Compared to the New Year, the small Grotto-Heaven was much more important!

The next day, Gao Xian's clone was able to split again, and he couldn't wait to try again, but the result remained unchanged.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

Gao Xian stayed in the underground ruins for forty days, sending his clone into the small Grotto-Heaven twice a day.

After forty days of testing, Gao Xian finally confirmed that the streak of sword light would not weaken!

In other words, he could forget about the Grotto-Heaven before the Gold Core stage.

Gao Xian let go of his fantasies and accepted reality, feeling much more relaxed.

It was like a goddess always teasing you, seemingly within reach but always just out of grasp, making it impossible for you to stop.

If you realize that the goddess is just a sea king playing with you like a dog, you will wake up!

After all this trouble, Gao Xian also gained something. He had become proficient in using the Green Lotus Sword Order.

Since he didn't currently need to use the Green Lotus Sword Order to open the door, he merged it with the Green Lotus Sword.

The process was very simple. Gao Xian used his divine sense to activate the Green Lotus Sword Order, and after it opened like a flower, he attached it to the sword's grid.

The grid of the Green Lotus Sword was originally in the shape of a lotus flower, and the petals of the Green Lotus Sword Order slightly changed their angle to match the grid, fitting together perfectly.

All the artifacts of the Tianhua Sect could be used together, and the Green Lotus Sword Orders could also be Integrated Union with each other. It could be seen that the Tianhua Sect had a complete set of unique refining methods.

After integrating the Green Lotus Sword Order, the Green Lotus Sword gained an additional thirteen pounds in weight.

The grid suddenly became much heavier, changing the center of gravity of the sword. Apart from that, there didn't seem to be any other changes for the time being.

Gao Xian wasn't in a hurry. The Green Lotus Sword Order wasn't simply attached to the Green Lotus Sword; it was an integration of central formations, followed by a material Integrated Union. This was a slow process.

According to the information in the Green Lotus Sword Order, it would take at least three to five months to complete the true Integrated Union.

Gao Xian is quite looking forward to this. In his opinion, the Qinglian Sword should now be at the upper level of the second rank. By using the Qinglian Feihong Sword, there is no doubt that he has reached the limit of the second rank.

With three Qinglian Sword Tokens from the Integrated Union, it should be possible to upgrade to a third rank sword.

Gao Xian left the underground ruins and did not go to Feima City. Instead, he flew directly to Lianyun City using the Qiankun Wheel.

Using the positioning of the sun, moon, and stars, Gao Xian flew at midnight and returned to Lianyun City before the sun rose.

Gao Xian changed his appearance and his Qingyuan Ruyi robe also changed its appearance. He quietly returned to the Zhu family.

He stayed at the Zhu family without leaving the house, even the housekeeper, Li Niang, did not know his whereabouts.

Although it took two months to come and go, he told Daniu that he was in seclusion for cultivation, so no one should know that he had left.

It was already mid-February when Gao Xian quietly returned to his quiet room and slept for two days.

During this time in the underground ruins, he dared not sleep and relied on meditation to restore his energy every day.

Returning home, he could finally sleep soundly.

When Gao Xian opened his eyes again, he saw Qiniang waiting by his side.

Qiniang noticed that Gao Xian had woken up, and a hint of joy appeared in her bright green eyes.

Gao Xian had been gone for two months without any news, and Qiniang had been feeling a bit tormented during this time.

Seeing Gao Xian every day had become a habit, and suddenly not seeing him made her feel empty. Moreover, Gao Xian went to the underground ruins.

The underground ruins were mysterious and unpredictable, with practitioners from the Seven Killing Sect and Blood Killing Sect, and even the presence of demons, making it extremely dangerous.

Qiniang knew that Gao Xian was powerful, but she also worried that something might happen to him.

It wasn't until Gao Xian returned that Qiniang truly relaxed. She had been by Gao Xian's side for a whole day, just watching him sleep, and she felt a sense of calm and comfort that couldn't be expressed.

When Gao Xian woke up and saw Qiniang, he also felt joy in his heart when he saw the joy in her bright green eyes.

He grabbed Qiniang's delicate hand and pulled her towards him, saying, "Qiniang, I missed you..."

Qiniang's face turned slightly red, and there was a touch of tenderness in her bright eyes. She whispered, "I missed you too... um..."

Afterward, Gao Xian and Qiniang embraced each other and had several intense battles. Both of them released their intense emotions, and now only tenderness and sweetness remained.

Qiniang didn't say anything, she just leaned quietly against Gao Xian's shoulder, her hands wrapped around his arm.

Just this kind of cuddling and embracing made her feel better than anything in the world, and she was extremely satisfied.

Gao Xian was also satisfied. He liked this peaceful and tranquil happiness.

But he knew that this peaceful and tranquil happiness didn't come easily! It was something he and Qiniang fought for with their fists and swords!

Holding the beauty in his arms, Gao Xian felt a sense of pride and ambition in his heart. For himself and for Qiniang and Yuling, he must work hard to cultivate and become a strong person who controls his own destiny!

Today, he would rest first. It's been a long time since he last saw Qiniang...

Gao Xian took a day off for himself. The bed was really comfortable, and Qiniang's touch was too good.

Qiniang had been lonely for a long time, so he decided to accompany her.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

Until March, Gao Xian finally got out of bed under Qiniang's urging.

Being a master in Foundation Building is great. Just take one Golden Yuan Pill a day, and there's no need for eating or drinking at all.

When Qi Niang is not around, Gao Xian would lie on the bed reading a book, playing with the cat, or simply daydreaming.

It must be said that lying flat is truly enjoyable!

Sometimes Gao Xian would think that he and Qi Niang are only thirty years old, and it would be nice to lie flat and live for over two hundred years!

Why bother with all the trouble!

In this cruel world, anyone who dares to lie flat will definitely be trampled on by others.

Not to mention, Feima Ji is both a demonic cultivator and a monster race. I wonder when the Lianyun Sect will meet with disaster.

Gao Xian forced himself to get out of bed and started refining pills with Da Niu.

"Brother, you're out of seclusion!"

Having not seen Gao Xian for several months, Wan Yingying was more excited than Da Niu. She then softly said, "I didn't even see you on New Year's Eve, I missed you!"

Gao Xian patted the little girl's head. She was already thirteen years old in virtual age, so she couldn't be considered a little girl anymore.

He said, "You missed me because of my New Year's gift, right? I prepared one for you..."

Gao Xian casually took out a delicate gold medal from his storage bag. It was a first-grade magical tool mainly used for dust removal, condensing Qi, and stabilizing the mind, which was very practical for low-level cultivators.

Wan Yingying gently pushed away the gold medal, her big eyes showing some dissatisfaction. "I missed you, not the gift!"

Gao Xian smiled. The little girl had grown up, and he couldn't treat her as casually as before. He nodded, "I was wrong..."

With Gao Xian's words, Wan Yingying felt recognized. Her small face immediately turned from anger to joy, and she smiled happily, showing her two rows of small white teeth.

Wan Yingying always felt that Gao Xian hadn't been in seclusion during this time, but had gone out. However, she was clever enough not to mention such things. Just like how she knew that Qi Niang didn't care about her, she didn't really like Qi Niang, but she appeared to be close to her on the surface.

From childhood to adulthood, Wan Yingying felt that besides her father, Gao Xian was the best to her. He never asked anything of her, he was simply kind to her.

After her father passed away, Wan Yingying regarded Gao Xian as her only family. Having not seen him for several months, she wanted to follow Gao Xian.

Gao Xian also missed the little girl a bit. It was nice to have a lively Wan Yingying around while refining pills.

Da Niu would just work diligently and not chat.

When they had nothing to do, Gao Xian would also teach Wan Yingying some knowledge of medicine and alchemy.

It must be said that Wan Yingying was much smarter than Da Niu. She could remember everything he taught her immediately. Even if he asked again after a few days, she could answer without missing a beat.

Gao Xian knew that Wan Yingying was smart, but he only discovered how smart she was to this extent for the first time.

The martial arts and sword techniques he taught her, she would learn them in one go, and she could easily grasp the essence of them.

This kind of comprehension was quite impressive.

Because of this, Gao Xian specially went to Yunshui Tower and bought Wan Yingying a set of Taiyuan Qi Refining Technique.

This cultivation method was the most balanced and peaceful. With this method as the foundation, it would be no problem to switch to any other cultivation technique after entering the door.

Spring has a gentle breeze, summer has scorching sun, and autumn has monsters.

Gao Xian stayed in the courtyard every day, refining pills and cultivating, guiding Wan Yingying. The days passed like flowing water, and it was already September.

Gao Xian's peaceful days came to an end in the refreshing autumn breeze.

"The sect leader wants to see you."

Zhu Qiniang speculated, "It should be about the matter of the demonic beasts in the Nanluo Mountain Range..."

The location of the Lianyun Sect is on the border between the Mingzhou and Donghuang regions. To the northeast of the Lianyun Sect is the Tengshe Mountain, and to the southeast is the Nanluo Mountain Range.

The demonic beasts in the Nanluo Mountain Range would hunt extensively before winter to prepare for hibernation.

Therefore, every autumn, the demonic beasts in the Nanluo Mountain Range would invade Nanluo Fang.

For this reason, the sect would send Foundation Building cultivators to go and exterminate the demonic beasts. In the past few years, there have been many casualties among the Foundation Building cultivators due to the fierce battle between the Lianyun Sect and the Qisha Sect. The personnel situation has become tight.

Zhu Qiniang believed that Yuntaihao must have wanted Gao Xian to go to the Nanluo Mountain Range to exterminate the demonic beasts.

After all, Gao Xian would be leaving next year, so there was no reason not to make use of him!

Gao Xian also agreed with this analysis, as it was in line with Yuntaihao's style.

As it turned out, Yuntaihao did arrange it this way.

Of course, Gao Xian couldn't refuse. After all, he was still in the Lianyun Sect and couldn't disobey the sect leader's orders.

Moreover, Yuntaihao's request was very polite, asking for his help. How could he not help!

This time, the sect specially assigned a small Qingmu flying ship to escort them to the Nanluo Mountain Range, and Yun Feiying was also accompanying them.

According to Zhu Qiniang, in previous years, there would be at least six or seven Foundation Building cultivators going to exterminate the demonic beasts. This year, there were only Gao Xian and Yun Feiying, which showed the sect's predicament.

After not seeing each other for a year, Yun Feiying had clearly become much more steady and experienced.

Yun Feiying was a bit surprised to see Gao Xian. After he became famous, he stayed at home and didn't even step out of the door. Many people wanted to meet Gao Xian but couldn't, so they didn't expect him to go to the Nanluo Mountain Range to exterminate the demonic beasts!

Yun Feiying took the initiative to bow and salute, showing a happy expression, "With Senior Gao, we will definitely be able to eradicate the demonic beasts!"

Gao Xian humbly declined a few times and boarded the flying ship with Yun Feiying, which reminded him of a scene from a few years ago.

At that time, in order to win over Zhu Qiniang, Yun Feiying had specially assigned him a separate room. Back then, Yun Feiying was high and mighty, appearing polite on the surface but unable to hide her condescending attitude.

The second time they boarded the flying ship, Yun Feiying and Wang Chuan fled on their own, leaving him and Qiniang behind.

After a few years, the situation was completely different when the two of them boarded the flying ship again.

Looking at the respectful Yun Feiying, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel emotional.

The Qingmu flying ship flew for about eight hours and finally arrived at Nanluo Fang.

Nanluo Fang was as big as ten Feima markets, and there were many demonic beasts in the Nanluo Mountain Range. This was also why the resources here were more abundant.

It was Gao Xian's first time coming to Nanluo Fang, so he was a bit curious about this place. Yun Feiying had been here once before and patiently introduced the situation to Gao Xian.

"The steward of Nanluo Fang is Yuan Siping. He is from the same clan as Yuan Chongguang, a late Foundation Building cultivator, and quite formidable..."

When they got off the Qingmu flying ship, the steward of Nanluo Fang, Yuan Siping, was already waiting there.

Seeing that there were only two Foundation Building cultivators, Gao Xian and Yun Feiying, Yuan Siping's old face showed a surprised expression, "Only two Fellow Daoists?"
