Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 223: Clinging to Thighs

"Senior Fellow Daoist Gao, it's all my fault. Please give me a chance to make amends."

Zhang Dongling bowed with sincerity and earnestness.

Zhang Dongling knew that Housekeeper Li couldn't make the final decision; it all depended on Gao Xian.

As long as Gao Xian didn't pursue the matter, it seemed that Yunqing Xuan, the True Immortal of Yunqing, wouldn't care about them insignificant people.

Gao Xian looked down on Zhang Dongling. He had a despicable character and would resort to conspiracy and trickery if he couldn't win.

Despite Zhang Dongling's appearance of sincerity and repentance, he hated him to the core.

He didn't think highly of Zhang Dongling, but he had to give face to Yunqing Xuan. If the other party stepped in to help him resolve the trouble, he couldn't cause more trouble for him.

Gao Xian knew that if he reported Yun Qiushui's name earlier, this trouble might be resolved. But he didn't want to owe this favor.

Originally, this was a small matter, but Zhang Dongling and his group made it bigger and bigger.

Gao Xian didn't want to have any connection with Zhang Dongling, let alone take advantage of him. He waved his hand and said, "With the intervention of True Immortal Qing Xuan, this matter ends here. You may leave."

Zhang Dongling sensed Gao Xian's impatience. He silently bowed and led Zheng Ting and the others to quickly leave the arena.

A group of Foundation Building cultivators hurriedly left, looking somewhat flustered.

Gao Xian thanked Housekeeper Li with a bow, "Thank you, Housekeeper Li. If it weren't for your help, today's matter would have been troublesome."

"Mr. Gao is a great talent. Zhang Dongling is nothing but a petty person."

Li Ming was very eloquent. He didn't take credit for himself, nor did he boast about his master. Instead, he kept praising Gao Xian.

Gao Xian knew that it was just a polite gesture, but he was still very pleased.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Ming took his leave.

When Li Ming was far away, Zhou Ye's face was full of excitement as he said, "True Immortal Yunqing Xuan is the leader of the Ze Department and can easily rank in the top ten in the sect's hierarchy. They say that this True Immortal will become a Nascent Soul True Lord in the future, with boundless prospects..."

Zhou Ye had been in Qingyun City for three years and had heard many rumors about the important figures in the sect.

Among the Gold Core cultivators of Qingyun Sect, the most famous one must be Yunqing Xuan, who formed his Core in his twenties.

He was hailed as a once-in-three-thousand-years peerless genius, a seed of Nascent Soul, and the hope of the sect for the next thousand years.

Zhou Ye didn't know how many rumors he had heard about this True Immortal Yunqing Xuan. He naturally knew how important this person was.

Gao Xian didn't know much about Qingyun Sect's situation, so he casually asked, "What position does the leader of the Ze Department hold?"

"Within Qingyun Sect, the power is divided among the eight departments: Qian, Kun, Ze, Huo, Feng, Lei, Shui, and Shan. Among the eight departments, the Ze Department ranks third. As the head of the Ze Department, True Immortal Yunqing Xuan's position and power can be seen..."

Zhou Ye said with envy, "They say that True Immortal Yunqing Xuan is cold and aloof, never making friends with others. You are really lucky to be friends with True Immortal Yun."

The old man really couldn't understand what charm Gao Xian had that allowed him to be friends with Yunqing Xuan!

When True Immortal Xuan accepted Yu Ling as his disciple, he was extremely proud. He often went out and boasted about it, making others extremely envious.

However, True Immortal Xuan couldn't be compared to Yunqing Xuan; the gap between them was huge.

Looking at Gao Xian's handsome face and his tall and graceful figure, the old man couldn't help but have some other speculations.

This kid must have a way with women!

The old man's mood was quite complicated at the moment. If it weren't for True Immortal Xuan suddenly appearing, Gao Xian should have become his son-in-law.

As a result, it seems unlikely now for Yuling and Gao Xian. But I saw Gao Xian quickly hooking up with another woman, a Gold Core cultivator! Where can I reason with him...

Zhou Ye couldn't help but sigh, "With Senior Yun taking care of you, you won't have any trouble in Qingyun Sect."

Gao Xian smiled and remained silent, knowing that this statement couldn't be taken seriously.

No matter how powerful Yun Qingxuan is, she is ultimately not the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect. At her age, being able to rise to power, I don't know how many people envy and hate her.

Openly or secretly, there are countless people plotting against Yun Qingxuan. Boarding Yun Qingxuan's ship may seem glorious, but it has made her enemies with many people.

These people may not be able to harm Yun Qingxuan, but dealing with them won't be too difficult!

Choosing a faction within a sect always has its advantages and disadvantages. Zhou Ye is not young anymore, but he lacks insight and can only see the benefits without considering the drawbacks.

Even if Qingyun Sect's Sect Master cannot balance the interests of the factions, it will inevitably lead to significant conflicts. These conflicts may not directly target the Sect Master, but they will reflect back at him in various ways.

However, these things are still far away from him for now. There is no need to think too much about it.

Gao Xian brought Wan Yingying and the others back to Chang'an Inn. Wan Yingying was excitedly chattering all the way, afraid that she would be implicated because of Gao Xian. Being able to resolve this smoothly, she was naturally very happy.

Da Niu was also happy, but he was not good with words and couldn't express his joy in words. He could only accompany them with a silly smile.

The calmest one was the little black cat, who fell asleep in Wan Yingying's arms halfway.

Back at Chang'an Inn, Gao Xian called for a private room and ordered a table of food and drinks for Zhou Ye, Da Niu, and Yingying.

The wine was a hundred-year-old brew, and the dishes were made from various spiritual plants and demonic beast meat. The table of food and drinks cost thirty spiritual stones.

According to the waiter, this was only considered a mid-range banquet in Qingyun City.

Wan Yingying and Da Niu followed Gao Xian and enjoyed the delicious food. Although it was new to them, they didn't pay too much attention to it.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Ye's face turned red, and his eyes were shining, showing his excitement.

"Such extravagant food and drinks, if it weren't for you treating us, I wouldn't be able to afford it in my lifetime..."

Zhou Ye, who was a little tipsy, even held Gao Xian's hand and said with some guilt, "Regarding Yuling's matter, we didn't dare to disobey Senior Xuan Yue's orders, Gao Xian, please don't blame us..."

The old man was a bit emotional and seemed like he was about to cry.

Gao Xian comforted him a few times, telling him not to worry about it. He was indeed a little unhappy about this matter, but not because Yuling became a disciple, but because the old man was being secretive and sneaky.

The old man had drunk a bit too much and kept talking incessantly. The meal lasted for over an hour and still hadn't ended.

Gao Xian and the old man had an unusual relationship, so he could only patiently listen to the old man's ramblings.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside. The old man's expression tightened and anxiously looked at Gao Xian.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "It's fine." He gestured to Da Niu with his eyes, indicating for him to open the door.

Da Niu went to open the door and found Zhang Dongling standing outside. His expression changed involuntarily.

Zhang Dongling nodded at Da Niu and stepped into the room. He bowed deeply to Gao Xian and said, "Senior Fellow Daoist, please forgive me for my impudence. I cannot afford to offend you."

He handed over a stack of leather contracts to Gao Xian, but Gao Xian didn't accept them. He was a little puzzled and asked, "What does Fellow Daoist mean by this?"

"The property deeds and household registers of my house, as well as those of a few others."

Seeing that Gao Xian showed no intention of accepting them, Zhang Dongling placed the contracts on the table, took two steps back, and bowed deeply again.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. I kindly ask Fellow Daoist to accept it."

Beside him, Zhou Ye widened his old eyes, deeply shocked by how Zhang Dongling, a Foundation Building cultivator, was bowing and showing such humility. This gave him a more intuitive understanding of the power of Yun Qingxuan. It was inevitable for Gao Xian, who was able to associate with Yun Qingxuan, to be envious and jealous.

Gao Xian didn't pay much attention to these contracts.

There were three million cultivators in Qingyun City, and the total number of Foundation Building cultivators inside and outside the sect was probably less than a thousand. No matter how you calculated it, Foundation Building cultivators were a cut above the rest, and being a main household member was nothing to them.

Of course, it could be seen from Zhang Dongling's ability to resolve the household registration issues of several people in such a short period of time that he indeed had connections within Qingyun Sect.

He calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, rest assured, I keep my word. This matter ends here."

Zhang Dongling clasped his fists and bowed, "Fellow Daoist is magnanimous, and I am ashamed. If there is anything I can do for Fellow Daoist in the future, please feel free to ask..."

After exchanging a few polite words, Zhang Dongling left the private room.

Zhou Ye was overjoyed, "With your talent, you will surely stand out in the Qingyun Conference..."

As the old man became happier, he drank a few more cups and was eventually taken back to his room by Da Niu to rest. However, Wan Yingying went to Gao Xian's room, saying that she was a little afraid of bad people and wanted to stay with Gao Xian for safety.

Gao Xian didn't mind her. The situation was indeed complicated now, and it was better for Yingying to stay with him.

He checked the contracts. His name was written on the property deed, along with transfer documents, and all that was left was for him to sign.

Da Niu, Zhou Ye, and Yingying had all completed the process of becoming main household members, officially becoming residents of Qingyun City.

Zhou Ye was so happy that he showed Gao Xian his main household registration. For the old man, this thing was invaluable.

The transfer document stated that the price of the house was one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. This price was not exaggerated, considering it was Qingyun City, the central hub of the thirty-six sects, and Zhang Family's location in Anshan District was also a prime area. Ninety percent of the value was in this location.

Gao Xian took out a storage bag left by Shui Yurong. She had been shattered into pieces, but the storage bag on her body remained intact, which was considered very lucky.

The storage bag from the Ten Directions contained over ten thousand spirit stones, as well as some Law Weapons, talismans, and pills.

Combined with the Coldwater Sword, all of these were worth one hundred thousand spirit stones.

After only a few days in Qingyun City, his wealth had doubled. He had to thank the hospitable Shui Yurong and Zhang Dongling.

The only troublesome thing was the Wuxu Profound Turtle Shield. The original owner probably wouldn't let it go so easily.

Fortunately, he had the support of Yun Qingxuan. Even if the other party was a Gold Core cultivator, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Yun Qingxuan was a good person, but he was too cold and speaking to him was a bit troublesome. In this situation, he should go and pay his respects to Yun Qingxuan in person to express his gratitude.

Perhaps for Yun Qingxuan, these things were insignificant, but for him, it was not a small matter. Expressing gratitude in person was basic courtesy.

With Li Guanjia's meticulousness, he would definitely come again to clarify the situation. It wouldn't be too late to visit Yun Qingxuan then.

Gao Xian glanced at Wan Yingying, who was sitting quietly reading a book beside him. Wan Yingying had a special aptitude that attracted the attention of others, so it would be appropriate to ask Yun Qingxuan to take a look at her.

The next morning, Li Guanjia indeed came.

Li Guanjia remained humble and didn't change his attitude at all because he had helped yesterday. After respectfully bowing, he said, "Mr. Gao, I wonder if you have time today. My master invites you to visit..."

Gao Xian smiled, "I was just thinking of paying my respects to Master Yun. If he has time, that would be even better."

He said again, "I want to bring my sister to meet the real person. I wonder if it's convenient or not?"

Steward Li hesitated and said, "The real person didn't mention this matter. But based on the real person's regard for Mr. Gao, it should be fine."

To be honest, Steward Li was not sure about this.

Yun Qingxuan was known for being cold and distant, maintaining a certain distance from everyone. Even Yun Qiushui had to make an appointment in advance to see her, and there was no guarantee that she would be able to meet.

Steward Li had followed Yun Qingxuan for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had seen her show such enthusiasm towards someone else.

Hmm, given Yun Qingxuan's personality, it was extremely rare for her to give out her business card to help someone and even take the initiative to meet with an outsider.

It can be seen that Yun Qingxuan treats Gao Xian exceptionally. It should be fine for Gao Xian to visit with his sister, right?

Steward Li made up his mind to bring them over first. After they arrived, he would seek permission and then allow Wan Yingying to enter.

The carriage was ready early on, with four spirited white horses pulling the light carriage. The canopy was as vast as clouds.

This carriage was enchanted with spatial magic. The interior of the carriage was as spacious as a living room, with a couch, tables and chairs, and various exquisite and elegant furnishings.

If Qiqi's green silk carriage was a luxury car, then Yun Qingxuan's carriage was a luxurious private jet.

As the carriage traveled on the road, other vehicles and pedestrians automatically avoided it. As long as they weren't blind, they knew that this carriage was extraordinary. Who would dare to block its way?

After leaving Qingyun City, the speed of the carriage noticeably increased. Four spirited white horses pulled the light carriage all the way up to the Yujing Peak of Qingyun Mountain.

"The peak of Yujing is made of jade, with a translucent luster. Under the sunlight, it shines brightly like a mirror, hence the name Yujing Peak. This peak is also the place where my master cultivates in seclusion. Others are not allowed to enter without permission..."

Steward Li explained the origin of Yujing Peak to Gao Xian, as well as some taboos, subtly reminding Gao Xian of what he should pay attention to when meeting the real person.

Gao Xian naturally understood the meaning of the old steward. He felt that Yun Qingxuan was probably a Virgo, pursuing perfection in everything she did.

These seemingly trivial matters were of great concern to Yun Qingxuan.

Upon entering the range of Yujing Peak, Gao Xian clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased by a level.

By the time they entered Yujing Palace, the spiritual energy had become substantial, permeating the air gently.

Yujing Palace was mainly built with wood and stone, with a simple and majestic style. The green jade stones laid on the ground were spotless. The mist pervading the surroundings made it seem like a fairyland.

Gao Xian felt as if dry ice had been placed everywhere, creating a very good stage effect...

The two followed Steward Li through the halls and arrived at a pavilion in the back.

In front of the pavilion was a lake, with clear and transparent water that was calm and without ripples, resembling a huge mirror.

Yun Qingxuan, dressed in a green robe, sat quietly in the pavilion. Her eyes were as clear and cold as ice, exuding a natural transcendence.

Gao Xian clasped his fists and saluted, "Real person Yun, we meet again. I hope you have been well."

Yun Qingxuan stood up and returned the salute with clasped fists, "I have been busy these past few days and couldn't pay my respects to Fellow Daoist. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Wan Yingying who was standing beside Gao Xian. Although Wan Yingying was bold, she couldn't help but feel nervous in front of Yun Qingxuan.

Imitating Gao Xian's actions, Wan Yingying clasped her fists and saluted, "This humble girl pays her respects to the real person."

Yun Qingxuan didn't say anything. She looked at the bright light shining in Wan Yingying's eyes, and her expression gradually became solemn on her beautiful and cold jade-like face...

Gao Xian furrowed his brows as well. It seemed that something was not right with Yun Qingxuan's expression!
