Chapter 226: Pure as Jade

Changle Tower is an entertainment club that combines dining, singing, dancing, and gambling. It is also the entertainment center of the Forty-two Blocks in the east.

Of course, Yun Qiushui didn't say it like this. He said that Changle Tower has delicious food that pleases the palate, beautiful women that please the body, gambling that pleases the heart, and is a truly enjoyable place...

Gao Xian summarized it, and he was also a little curious about Changle Tower, after all, he had heard Zhou Ye mention it several times.

Every time Zhou Ye mentioned Changle Tower, his wrinkled old face was filled with envy, and his cloudy old eyes sparkled.

Men like beautiful women at eighteen, and they still like beautiful women at eighty. Their preferences are extremely pure, so it can be said that men are forever young!

Gao Xian completely agreed with this. Men are naturally attracted to beauty. He always thought that men who are not attracted to beauty are sick, either physically or mentally.

Having a preference for beauty is a common human emotion, but it should be expressed with moderation. The difference between being flirtatious and being vulgar is huge.

Just like how Gao Xian thought that Wei Shuangshuang, whom he met today, was very beautiful and a sexy young woman. But he wouldn't flirt with her because she has a husband.

Although he could easily overpower Wei Cheng, he wouldn't use his abilities to flirt with someone else's wife. This is just a bottom line of being a decent person, there is nothing to be proud of.

In this world of cultivators, what truly sets him apart from other cultivators is that he has his own values, even though he has been assimilated by this world to some extent.

Yun Qiushui saw Gao Xian lost in thought and smiled, "Shui Yuying is very beautiful, and she is not that old. In terms of her eight hundred years of Gold Core lifespan, she is still a young girl.

"Shui Yuying likes both men and women, and she specializes in the art of seduction. She is known for her bold indulgence in both men and women. However, this person is promiscuous and heartless, Fellow Daoist should be careful..."

Gao Xian laughed, "I am pure as jade and sincere in my pursuit of the Dao. How could I be swayed by the allure of women?"

Yun Qiushui also laughed. He liked Gao Xian's casual and humorous way of speaking. Being too serious among friends is too boring.

His sister, in particular, is abnormal. She never jokes and is an exceptionally boring person.

While the two were joking, the carriage had already arrived at Changle Tower.

Gao Xian's house was not far from Changle Tower, and he could actually see the tall building from his courtyard.

The seven-story wooden tower was nearly thirty zhang high, about eighty meters in height.

Although Qingyun City is prosperous, such a tall building is quite rare.

The foundation of Changle Tower has three layers and is over two zhang high. The square foundation not only supports the tall tower, but also has waterproofing capabilities.

At this time, it was three quarters past noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The entrance of Changle Tower was already filled with carriages.

Standing at the foot of Changle Tower, one could feel the grandeur and magnificence of the building even more. The tall and slender eaves were all painted in various colors, and the roof was covered with dark blue glazed tiles. The beautiful sound of silk and bamboo music faintly emanated from the open diamond-shaped windows, blending into the sky.

The guests coming and going at the entrance were all well-dressed and had satisfied and joyful expressions on their faces. The destitute and impoverished had no qualifications to enter such a place of extravagance.

The welcoming waiters had sharp eyes. Just by looking at the carriage Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian were sitting in, they knew that they were extraordinary guests.

Before Yun Qiushui could speak, two waiters bowed even deeper, "The seventh floor, you have an appointment with Water True Immortal."

Following the two waiters, Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian entered a closed room.

The room trembled slightly, and quickly ascended.

"Elevator!"

Gao Xian was a little surprised. It wasn't difficult to create an elevator with the spells of the cultivator world, but it was difficult to use it in daily life.

This elevator must be powered by spirit stones and is used countless times every day. Such frequent use not only consumes spirit stones, but also requires high stability of the formation and Law Weapon.

From this, it can be seen that this Changlelou is indeed wealthy.

Yun Qiushui introduced to Gao Xian, "This kind of elevator is convenient. Several high-rise buildings in the city use this method..."

"It is indeed ingenious."

Gao Xian casually praised, "Just this place alone, you can see the prosperity of Qingyun City."

"But it's just a small trick for indulging in pleasure..."

Yun Qiushui disdainfully said, "Qingyun City is comfortable and extravagant. The cultivators here have been softened by alcohol and lust. They have advanced cultivation and powerful Law Weapons, but they can't match the cultivators of Lianyun Sect at the same level."

He traveled all over the place and saw that small sects like Lianyun Sect and Qingfeng Sect, although not strong, were constantly fighting and killing.

These cultivators from small sects had to compete desperately due to lack of resources. This made them appear impatient for quick success and instant benefits, lacking the demeanor of cultivators.

On the other hand, this intense competition cultivated a large number of skilled warriors.

In comparison, the cultivators of Qingyun City indulged in pleasure, and their combat power was much weaker.

Yun Qiushui himself was carefree and unrestrained, but he knew what was fundamental. He looked down on cultivators like those from Qingyun Sect.

He particularly admired Gao Xian, who was not only skilled in battle and killing, but also had an extraordinary calm and elegance.

Such people were really rare!

The elevator was fast, and before Yun Qiushui finished speaking, they had already arrived on the seventh floor.

The waiter opened the door and respectfully led Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian into the seventh floor.

The center of the hall on the seventh floor was a sunken stage, with tables and chairs arranged in all directions, and railings as barriers.

As soon as they entered, they could see several people sitting at the banquet in front of them. Sitting in the main seat in the center was a woman in a yellow robe.

The woman had a beautiful appearance, with skin as smooth as jade. Her robe was slightly open, revealing a touch of delicate whiteness that exuded a charming charm.

Beside the woman sat a woman in black clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Between her eyebrows, there was a cold and icy chill. She had a tall figure, sitting half a head taller than the woman in yellow.

The temperament of the woman in black clothes was somewhat similar to Yun Qingxuan, but while Yun Qingxuan was crystal clear and cold, she was like a dark ice field, vast, deep, and cold.

Yun Qiushui was also interested in the woman in black clothes. After looking at her carefully for a few moments, he used his divine sense to say to Gao Xian, "The one in the main seat is Shui Yuying, and the woman in black clothes next to her should be Yin Lihua, the genius of Xuanming Sect."

"I heard that she has a natural Yin and Ming spirit body, which is very suitable for Xuanming Sect's techniques."

He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are really lucky. According to the records, this session of the conference is the strongest in the past six hundred years, with four Foundation Building cultivators with natural spirit bodies participating. Hehe..."

"It's a great honor to be here at such a grand event." Gao Xian replied.

Yun Qiushui patted Gao Xian's shoulder and said, "I think with Fellow Daoist's talent, you should be the first!"

He then bowed to Shui Yuying, "Madam Shui, we are not late, right?"

The charming woman in yellow smiled lightly, "Whenever Yun Junior Brother arrives, the banquet begins. There is no concept of being early or late."

Yun Qiushui pointed to Gao Xian and introduced, "This is my friend, Gao Xian."

Gao Xian clasped his hands and said, "Gao Xian greets Madam Shui."

Shui Yuying's bright eyes flickered, and a hint of joy appeared on her delicate jade-like face, "You have a dignified and extraordinary appearance, with the potential of a transcendent being."

She sighed and said, "I thought Brother Yun was outstanding, but today I realized that there are even more talented individuals like Fellow Daoist Gao in the world..."

Shui Yuying's voice was gentle and sweet, as if one could feel the warmth of her breath when she spoke, making one's ears and heart itch.

Gao Xian knew that this woman was not a good person, but she was really attractive! She made him feel a little hot.

He smiled faintly, "Lady Shui overpraises me. How can my meager talent compare to Brother Yun?"

Although Yun Qiushui wouldn't mind being praised, he felt the need to explain.

Yun Qiushui laughed, "Lady Shui has a discerning eye. This Fellow Daoist of mine is good in every way, just too low-key."

As he spoke, he went ahead to the viewing platform to the south. After he and Gao Xian sat down, they raised their wine cups and toasted Lady Shui from a distance, "It is an honor for us to be invited by the esteemed Lady. This cup is to wish Lady a smooth path and eternal youth."

Shui Yuying chuckled, "Brother Yun knows how to speak. I like it. Let's drink this cup to the fullest."

The host raised his cup, and everyone followed suit, drinking together.

Gao Xian drank a cup of wine and watched Yun Qiushui and Shui Yuying chatting. He felt that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

However, their relationship should not be good. Although their words were polite, they were hiding knives.

Words like "eternal youth" and "smooth path" sounded nice, but they seemed more like irony.

Shui Yuying and Shui Yurong, these two names are similar. I wonder what their relationship is?

Gao Xian was not nervous, but with Yun Qiushui present, he didn't need to step forward. He was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

Shui Yuying and Yun Qiushui were both respectable people. Even though they probably wanted to stab each other in the heart, they were still friendly and polite on the surface.

The two of them kept toasting, one cup after another. After a few rounds, Shui Yuying's eyes also showed a hint of drunkenness.

Just as Yun Qiushui was about to raise his cup again, Shui Yuying suddenly put down her cup and said, "Brother, we've had enough to drink. Let's talk business."

Yun Qiushui put down his cup and smiled, "What does Lady have to say? We are all ears."

"Shui Yurong died on the Sword Discussion Platform. I can turn a blind eye to it for the sake of Qingxuan's face, but she used my Wuxu Xuangui Shield, which is my treasure."

Shui Yuying looked at Gao Xian and said, "Fellow Daoist Gao just took away my treasure. Is that alright?"

As she spoke, a bright light suddenly burst forth from her eyes, releasing the aura of a Gold Core cultivator.

The gentle and tender Shui Yuying from earlier had now become a raging torrent, with a fierce and mighty momentum that could sweep away everything.

Gao Xian was prepared for this. He had fought against the Four-Armed Demon Monkey for over a month and had some understanding and experience in dealing with Gold Core-level power.

Shui Yuying's spiritual consciousness was comparable to that of the Four-Armed Demon Monkey, but she was far superior in terms of technique.

She subtly unleashed a spiritual consciousness attack, which would have made an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator embarrass themselves on the spot.

Gao Xian didn't want to stand out too much. He condensed his spiritual consciousness into a perfect circle, internally and externally seamless, allowing Shui Yuying's spiritual consciousness to sweep over him like a raging tide.

Shui Yuying's attack failed to achieve its goal. She was somewhat surprised. This little Foundation Building cultivator's spiritual consciousness was incredibly resilient, internally and externally integrated like a perfect circle. If she wanted to deal with him, she would have to truly exert herself.

The black-clad woman, Yin Lihua, who had been silent all along, also showed a hint of astonishment in her star-like eyes.

Gao Xian withstood Shui Yuying's spiritual consciousness attack without showing any signs of embarrassment. His cultivation was truly terrifying!

Yin Lihua had originally looked down on Gao Xian, a cultivator from a small sect. If it weren't for Yun Qiushui bringing him along, he wouldn't have had the qualifications to enter this place!

But one spiritual consciousness clash completely changed her opinion. This nameless nobody was clearly a formidable opponent!

Shui Yuying's attack failed, and she felt somewhat embarrassed. According to reason, as a Gold Core cultivator, she should have stopped after one failed attack against a Foundation Building cultivator.

But as her temper flared up, instead of stopping, she strengthened her divine sense. She wanted to see how long this guy could hold on!

Just then, a resounding sword hum suddenly reached everyone's ears.

The sword hum was short but incredibly sharp, like an invisible divine sword that cut through the intertwined divine senses in the hall.

This sword was like cutting off the raging tide of a river and all subsequent changes. Its unparalleled sharpness also intimidated everyone present.

Shui Yuying's expression changed slightly. Her gaze fell on Yun Qiushui, and she saw him holding the sword hilt, with a faint sharp sword intent flowing in his bright eyes.

She sneered, "Little brother, this Purple Cloud Light Sword of yours truly deserves to be a third-grade top-quality spiritual sword. What a sharp Sword Intent!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Yun Qiushui. They only now realized that the weapon in his hand was actually a third-grade top-quality Spiritual Weapon!

Even a Gold Core cultivator would find it difficult to have a handy magic treasure, let alone a third-grade top-quality Spiritual Weapon!

This Purple Cloud Light Sword was so valuable that even a Gold Core cultivator would go crazy for it!

Yun Qiushui was only a Foundation Building cultivator, yet he actually held such a precious treasure. Wasn't he afraid of others snatching it?!

Gao Xian was also shocked. He knew that Yun Qiushui was generous, but his generosity had far exceeded his imagination.

Indeed, that spiritual sword was too sharp. Yun Qiushui didn't even draw the sword, he just stimulated the sword hum with his divine sense, and the unmatched Sword Intent cut off Shui Yuying's divine sense.

A dignified Gold Core cultivator was suppressed by a Foundation Building cultivator with a sword. No wonder Shui Yuying was furious.

Yun Qiushui smiled calmly, "My cultivation is not enough, so I can only rely on the power of the sword. I apologize if I have offended the cultivator."

Shui Yuying became even angrier, her eyebrows raised high. "What, are you trying to bully me?!"

"Hahaha, I have the utmost respect for the cultivator. It's just a misunderstanding," Yun Qiushui explained with a smile. "Besides, as a mere Foundation Building cultivator, how could I dare to bully a Gold Core cultivator?"

Shui Yuying coldly said, "Enough nonsense. If you don't give me an explanation today, the two of you will come home with me!"

"Please let us know your intentions, cultivator," Yun Qiushui thought today would just be a formality, and Gao Xian would apologize with a few drinks.

But this woman suddenly turned hostile and made a move, which was a bit uncivilized. He didn't quite understand what this woman was up to.

Shui Yuying's eyes turned bright, and a charming smile appeared on her face. She pointed at Gao Xian and said, "Let him accompany me for three days, and the past will be forgotten..."

Yun Qiushui suddenly understood. It turned out that Shui Yuying had taken a liking to Gao Xian, so she didn't hesitate to lower herself and make a move to show her strength.

Gao Xian was indeed handsome, and calling him a peerless beauty would not be an exaggeration. People always thought that beauty referred to women, but that was too one-sided.

A beautiful man could also arouse strong possessiveness in people. Especially for someone like Shui Yuying, who was so lustful, being attracted by appearance was her nature.

If they were mutually attracted, it would be a beautiful thing to be intimate together. However, Shui Yuying was skilled in extracting essence, and it wouldn't take three days, just one or two hours, to turn Gao Xian into a piece of jerky that could still breathe...

But Gao Xian didn't think so. He was even a little eager to try. Shui Yuying's divine sense was not much stronger than his own, and he had Lanjie's control over the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon. Together, they would undoubtedly defeat Shui Yuying.

There was also the Diamond Pestle and the Electric Dragon Subduing Hand. Although Shui Yuying's magical power was strong, her physical body was only at the early stage of Foundation Building and Body Refining. She would also lose in a physical confrontation.

Moreover, he could temporarily enhance himself and raise his divine sense to a higher level!

If Shui Yuying dared to come to him, he would give her a big surprise.

Yun Qiushui was about to refuse, but he heard Gao Xian's divine sense transmission in his ear, "Fellow Daoist, I want to give it a try..."

Yun Qiushui looked at Gao Xian in surprise. "You little brat, you even want to pursue a Gold Core cultivator. Weren't you pure-hearted and devoted to the Dao?!"
