Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 214: Improvement

The higher the level of spiritual objects, the more they should not be used indiscriminately.

Qi Niang benefited in the short term after eating the Green Gold Fruit, but it caused her body to undergo abnormal changes.

Gao Xian helped Qi Niang resolve the abnormal effects of the Green Gold Fruit. With the Tian Gui Spirit Pill, Yin & Yang dual cultivation, and the Electric Light Photovoltaic Dragon Hand, they used various methods in combination. It took several years to completely resolve the abnormal changes.

If this Green Peach is a third-level Green Gold Fruit, the abnormal effects cannot be resolved at all. For cultivators, it is simply highly toxic!

Gao Xian and Qi Niang have both experienced the power of the Green Gold Fruit and naturally dare not eat it indiscriminately.

The two of them have repeatedly studied but cannot figure out what this peach is and its specific effects.

Gao Xian actually tried to test the effect of the peach in the Heart and Mind Temple. He was able to materialize the peach in the temple, but as soon as he touched it, the temple would collapse.

Obviously, the Heart and Mind Temple cannot deduce any relevant changes regarding this peach.

As a third-level spiritual object, Gao Xian and Qi Niang cannot determine its value.

They dare not take it out to find someone for appraisal, as it might cause countless troubles if its value is too high.

There is no other way, so the two of them can only search through the scriptures, hoping to find something from the clues of the Green Gold Fruit.

The Thousand Year Heritage of the Cloud Sect has collected numerous scriptures in the Scripture Hall.

With Gao Xian and Qi Niang's current status, it is easy for them to go to the Scripture Hall to consult the scriptures, but they both do not want to do so.

Entering the Scripture Hall is equivalent to telling Yun Taihao and the others what they are looking for, which could easily attract the attention of the Sect Leader.

After the battle at Fei Ma Ji, the two of them are particularly cautious of Yun Taihao.

Although Yun Taihao currently treats them with great respect, if he were to find out that they have a third-level spiritual object, who knows what this guy would do.

Before Gao Xian and Qi Niang could figure it out, it was already the Lunar New Year.

The New Year's Eve this year was quite lively. Wan Yingying, Da Niu, Xiao Bai, along with Xiao Hei Mao, Gao Xian, and Qi Niang, the whole family gathered together and had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Last year, Gao Xian was busy in the underground ruins and missed it. This year, with the whole family together, he also felt quite emotional.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. Yingying is already fourteen, Nan Tian Shou is already four years old, Da Niu has become noticeably steady and mature, and only Xiao Hei Mao still has that cute and mischievous appearance.

Qi Niang has also changed, losing some of her gloominess and gaining some grace and composure. There is a hint of upward radiance in her brows. She looks much more beautiful to others.

Gao Xian's thoughts were filled with both emotion and joy. As time passed, everyone, including himself, was becoming better.

In the past two years, he had been living a smooth and comfortable life. If it weren't for his pursuit of the path to immortality, Yun Taihao's bad character, and the unfavorable situation in the Yun Sect, he would have been content staying in the Yun Sect.

Gao Xian prepared generous gifts for everyone, and Qi Niang, Yingying, Da Niu, and Xiao Zai'er were all very happy, including Little Black Meow.

After the New Year's Eve, Wan Yingying and the others went back to rest. Gao Xian and Qi Niang went back to their room for dual cultivation, enjoying the festive season.

On the first day of the lunar year, Gao Xian, as an Outer Sect Elder, participated in the Yun Sect's New Year celebration for the first time.

Inside the solemn Great Hall of the sect, before the Sect Leader arrived, many Foundation Building cultivators were chatting casually in groups of three or five.

Gao Xian, who appeared for the first time, attracted everyone's attention.

Standing side by side with Qi Niang, Gao Xian had reached the realm of Vajra and had a tall and slender figure. He was no longer shorter than Qi Niang.

The two stood side by side, with Qi Niang wearing a golden crown and robe, exuding a cold and dignified aura. Gao Xian wore a lotus flower crown and a green robe, appearing calm and composed.

Regardless of what others thought of Gao Xian, everyone had to admit that he was extraordinary.

Many Foundation Building cultivators specially rushed back from outside to participate in the New Year celebration, including Yuan Siping.

Yuan Siping took the initiative to approach Gao Xian and exchanged pleasantries. He also introduced Gao Xian to several old Foundation Building cultivators, who were responsible for various districts and markets.

These people had never seen Gao Xian before, and when they met for the first time, they showed extreme enthusiasm towards him.

In these two years, Gao Xian had risen rapidly and was now at the peak of his fame in the Yun Sect.

Even if there were a few who were dissatisfied, they would never show it in public. Wherever Gao Xian's gaze fell, everyone had a smile on their face. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the sect was good, and everyone was polite and friendly.

When the time came, Sect Leader Yun Taihao entered the Great Hall, and everyone stood in formation and paid their respects together.

Yun Taihao's gaze swept across the crowd, and he immediately noticed Gao Xian. His gaze intentionally lingered on Gao Xian for a moment.

Gao Xian's eyes sparkled like stars, his features were handsome and profound, and his tall and slender figure stood out among the group of Foundation Building cultivators. His demeanor was clearly superior to his peers.

Although Yun Taihao didn't particularly like Gao Xian, he couldn't help but admit that this kid indeed had something special. Just based on his appearance, he was extraordinary. No wonder Yun Qingxuan valued him so much.

Yun Taihao presided over the celebration, leading everyone in paying respects to heaven, earth, and the sect's ancestors. Finally, he briefly summarized the sect's work from the previous year and put forward some expectations and requirements for the coming year.

In the end, Yun Taihao encouraged the many Elders and true disciples, and specifically praised Gao Xian.

At the New Year celebration, Yun Taihao rarely praised individuals. This made everyone value Gao Xian even more. It also surprised many Foundation Building cultivators and made them pay more attention to Gao Xian.

After the celebration, a group of Foundation Building cultivators surrounded Gao Xian, warmly chatting with him, and many insisted on drinking with him.

Gao Xian reluctantly followed Yuan Siping and several other cultivators to the Lichun Courtyard, but he didn't want to appear too proud.

They drank until dawn before finally returning home.

In the following days, Foundation Building cultivators personally came to invite Gao Xian to drink every day.

It wasn't until the seventh day of the lunar new year that the consecutive banquets finally paused.

Gao Xian didn't particularly enjoy socializing, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of others. Being flattered by a group of people also felt pretty good!

These banquets were not meaningless entertainment. Drinking together quickly deepened relationships. After a few days, Gao Xian got to know most of the leaders in the market.

He obtained a generous price for the second-order Demonic Beasts' flesh and crystal cores he harvested in the Nanluo Mountain from these Foundation Building cultivators, or exchanged them for the resources he needed.

Through these transactions, Gao Xian earned one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If he were to sell these second-order Demonic Beasts to the Yunsuilou, he would have lost at least twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this result. He now had a deposit of forty high-grade Spirit Stones.

In the realm of Foundation Building cultivators, he could definitely be considered wealthy.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Gao Xian took the time to take Wan Yingying to see the fireworks and lanterns.

Cultivators didn't eat yuanxiao, but they still had fireworks and lanterns. This might be due to the human race's yearning for light and their love for the flames that illuminated the night.

After the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Gao Xian entered his normal working state: pill refining, cultivation, relaxing with his cat, teaching Yingying martial arts, and dual cultivating with Qi Niang.

It wasn't until a certain day in early March, while Gao Xian was cultivating, that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. Following that, his heart trembled slightly, and a vigorous spiritual energy surged out from his heart, quickly spreading throughout his body.

This surge of spiritual energy circulated dozens of times throughout his body before gradually being absorbed completely.

Gao Xian slowly exhaled a breath of impure air and opened his eyes. After more than three months of recuperation, his body, which had been severely injured by the Four-Armed Demon Monkey, finally healed, and his Cultivation Base advanced to the second level of Foundation Building.

Considering that he had only been in Foundation Building for three years, his progress could be described as rapid.

Qi Niang, on the other hand, took four years to break through to the second level of Foundation Building. However, she followed the path of Body Refining, which gave her a significant advantage during the refinement stage.

In addition to taking Thousand Year Jade Marrow and practicing with him in the Wind and Fire Cave, she made great gains. Her transformed body also gave her a solid foundation, far surpassing her peers.

On the other hand, Gao Xian practiced the Great Five Elements Technique, which balanced the five elements and was moderate and harmonious. It was unlikely to cause Qi Deviation, but his progress was also the slowest.

Being able to break through so quickly was also thanks to Monkey Brother. Its flesh and blood were truly nourishing.

This time, Qi Niang also greatly benefited from it. She could already see that she was about to reach the third level of Foundation Building!

Gao Xian opened the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror and saw that his lifespan had increased by twenty years, reaching four hundred and forty years.

By this calculation, when he reaches the Foundation Building Returned to Origin stage, his lifespan will be at least six hundred years.

After entering the Heart and Mind Temple for testing, his Divine Sense had a slight increase, his Magic power increased by twenty percent, and there were small improvements in other areas.

The improvement in his Foundation Building Cultivation Base seemed insignificant in various aspects, but in reality, it was a comprehensive and significant growth.

Gao Xian was satisfied with the effects of advancing to the second level of Foundation Building. He took out the black and red hexagonal crystal core left to him by the four-armed demon monkey from his storage bag.

Previously, he had injuries and didn't dare to use this spiritual item recklessly.

Now that he had reached the second level of Foundation Building and was in good condition, he could try using this spiritual item.

The crystal cores of third-tier Demonic Beasts had many uses, such as refining Magical Items, creating Medicine Pills, and being used for Integrated Union to generate Divine Abilities, and so on.

The crystal cores of second-tier Demonic Beasts could be sold for two thousand to tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, depending on their level.

At the third-tier level, the price would increase at least twenty times. This was because third-tier Demonic Beasts were equivalent to Gold Core stage, and even the lowest-level third-tier Demonic Beast crystal cores contained the entire power and Divine Abilities of the Demonic Beasts.

Gao Xian didn't know the rank of the four-armed demon monkey, but the fact that it could integrate ice and fire Magic power and had special Divine Abilities made its crystal core extremely rare.

In his estimation, this black and red crystal core in his hand could be sold for at least three to four hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

If it weren't for the fact that this item was perfect for him, he would have considered selling it. With plenty of Spirit Stones in hand, he could buy most resources, except for the Sect's secret techniques, at least at the second and third-tier levels.

September was the Qingyun Conference, and ever since Gao Xian witnessed the power of the Qingyun Xuan God, he knew that the world was vast and filled with countless strong geniuses.

The Yun, Qingfeng, Shaoyang, and Chiyan Four Sects were just the four small Sects under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.

If he wanted to stand out in the Qingyun Conference, he was afraid that his current strength was not enough.

The Qinglian Feihong Sword was his ultimate move, and he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

The Vajra Staff also had its origins in question. If others saw him wielding such a powerful Vajra Staff, they would surely have doubts.

After careful consideration, besides Sword Technique, the Lingxi Sword was the only formidable means he had against enemies.

Other techniques such as Ice Arrow Art and Flame Bullet were powerful for dealing with small fries, but they were insufficient against strong enemies and couldn't defeat them.

Gao Xian looked at the black and red crystal core in his hand, hoping that it would allow his ice and fire Ninth Stage to advance in rank and break through the limits of Ice Arrow Art and Flame Bullet.

He closed his eyes and silently communicated and resonated with the black and red crystal core using his Divine Sense. The black and red spiritual light within the crystal core suddenly became stronger...
