Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 231: Seeking the Dao

"Brother, you have to come and visit me often."

When Gao Xian was leaving, Wan Yingying couldn't hold back anymore. With tears in her eyes, she hugged Gao Xian tightly, not wanting to let go.

She knew how lucky she was to be accepted as a direct disciple by the Nascent Soul True Immortal, but she couldn't bear to part with Gao Xian.

"Be good, focus on your cultivation. I will come to see you often and bring you sugar figurines!" Gao Xian knew that this was a child's instinctive reliance on their loved ones, so he comforted her gently.

Wan Yingying nodded vigorously. "Promise me."

Gao Xian smiled and patted Wan Yingying's head. He casually said, "You have to cultivate well, listen to your teacher, and, hmm, grow taller. It's not very impressive to be so small..."

At fourteen years old, the girl had already started developing, but she was still a bit short.

Wan Yingying gestured with her hand to Gao Xian's neck. "I'm going to be this tall in the future!"

Gao Xian laughed and waved goodbye to Wan Yingying.

Yun Qingxuan controlled the Yun Guang Umbrella and flew into the sky with Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian. Within the range of Qingxiao Peak, she was the only one who could freely use her spiritual power without being suppressed by the formation.

Wan Yingying watched Gao Xian's figure getting higher and farther away. Tears kept streaming down her face, but she forced a smile and waved her hand vigorously towards the receding Yun Guang.

Gao Xian, in the Yun Guang, could see the girl's bright and beautiful face, crying and smiling. He could see the sunset's afterglow casting a stunning red glow on her, the willow tree shadows swaying beside her, and the serene and ancient Taoist temple behind her.

All of this seemed like a painting, deeply imprinted in Gao Xian's heart.

Suddenly, Gao Xian had a moment of enlightenment. This parting, who knows how many years it will be...

Back at the Yujing Palace, Yun Qingxuan didn't keep Gao Xian as a guest. Yun Qiushui took Gao Xian down the mountain in a carriage.

Gao Xian handed the Sword-Nurturing Jade to Yun Qiushui. "Brother Yun, how do I use this?"

The Sword-Nurturing Jade looked like a crystal carp about a foot long, with scales and whiskers. Its semi-transparent body even revealed a complete fish skeleton, and the fish's eyes sparkled like a living creature.

Gao Xian didn't know how to use this gift given by the Nascent Soul True Immortal. Since Yun Qiushui was there, he naturally wanted to ask for guidance.

"Good stuff." Yun Qiushui took the crystal carp curiously and examined it. He had heard of this kind of spiritual object before, but it was his first time seeing it with his own eyes.

After playing with it for a while, he returned it to Gao Xian. "The Sword-Nurturing Jade is a naturally born spiritual object. Its true form is a fish that swims in the rivers deep within the earth. After being caught, its body gradually solidifies into a crystal-like form, and its spiritual energy is sealed within..."

The Sword-Nurturing Jade didn't look very impressive, but it had a remarkable origin. Only the Nascent Soul True Immortal could enter the deep depths of the earth where it lived.

Moreover, the spiritual fish in the deep depths of the earth were all unique and varied. Not every kind of spiritual fish could be used, and those that could nurture swords were even rarer.

"This piece of jade for nurturing swords is only at the third level, but its value is quite high."

Yun Qiushui sighed and said, "I have to say, our ancestor has been quite good to you."

Gao Xian laughed and said, "It's all thanks to the two Fellow Daoists' reputation that I received such treatment."

"No, it's not related to us. It's also not closely related to Wan Yingying. The ancestor mainly values you as a person."

Yun Qiushui said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, don't underestimate yourself. Under the jurisdiction of Qingyun Sect, there are millions of cultivators, but your talent is truly unique!"

"If Brother Yun praises me so seriously, I will feel embarrassed." Gao Xian blushed from the praise and quickly changed the topic, "So how exactly do we use this thing?"

Yun Qiushui laughed and stopped talking about these things. He pointed at the jade for nurturing swords and said, "Actually, it's very simple. Just use this thing as a sword sheath, and insert the sword from the fish mouth into the fish belly. The spiritual energy inside the jade will naturally nourish the spiritual nature of the flying sword."

He then curiously asked, "Fellow Daoist, you also have a flying sword, but I have never seen you use it."

Gao Xian took out the Lingxi Sword and handed it upside down to Yun Qiushui, "It's a flying sword with a damaged spiritual nature. I'm not proficient in swordsmanship, so I usually rely on spells in battles and rarely use this sword."

The Lingxi Sword was about a foot long, with a translucent appearance like ice. It looked exceptionally sharp and pure.

Yun Qiushui lightly tapped the spine of the sword with his finger, and the Lingxi Sword emitted a melodious sound like a qin.

He praised, "This flying sword's quality is really good."

Gao Xian nodded in agreement, "I also think so. I always carry it with me. True Immortal has sharp eyes and immediately noticed this sword..."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel emotional.

The Azure Lotus robe he was wearing was also of high quality, but it seemed transparent in Yun Zaitian's eyes. Not only did the other party see the Lingxi Sword, but also noticed its damaged spiritual nature.

This Divine Ability was truly unfathomable.

Gao Xian felt that he had some understanding of the power of the Gold Core realm, but in the face of the Nascent Soul True Immortal, his past experiences were useless.

There was no doubt that the power of the Nascent Soul True Immortal was beyond his current comprehension.

He could study all of this after reaching the Gold Core realm!

Yun Qiushui nodded, "Our ancestor's Divine Ability is vast, so this is nothing..."

He became interested and talked about some of the rumors and anecdotes about Yun Zaitian in the past.

Gao Xian also listened with great interest. Of course, the melons of the Nascent Soul True Immortal were delicious.

Yun Qiushui was also fascinated by it, "Becoming a Nascent Soul True Immortal grants you 1,500 years of lifespan. Going through one tribulation can increase your lifespan by 500 years, and the longest you can live is 3,000 years!"

"This long life is awe-inspiring just to think about. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul in this lifetime..."

"With Brother Yun's talent, achieving Nascent Soul should not be difficult."

"Ah, let's just talk about it for fun. We can't take it seriously. My sister still has a glimmer of hope, but I chose the path of sword cultivation and don't even have a chance..."

When it came to matters of cultivation, Yun Qiushui also became more serious.

Gao Xian fell silent. Even someone as talented as Yun Qiushui felt that Nascent Soul was far away. What should he do?

After experiencing today's events, Gao Xian felt that his relationship with Yun Qiushui had become closer.

Inside the enclosed carriage with no outsiders, they happened to discuss matters of cultivation, which was the question he was most concerned about.

"Brother Yun, do you know the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique?" Gao Xian asked.

Yun Qiushui nodded, "Yes, I know..."

Then he suddenly realized, "Oh, Brother Gao is cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique and wants to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique."

"That's right."

Gao Xian asked, "I wonder if the sect has the 'Five Elements Qi Fusion technique'?"

Yun Qiushui shook his head, "The foundation of the sect is the 'Thirty-Six Volumes of the Taiwei Purple Cloud'. Although the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique is quite profound, it needs to be combined with the Great Five Elements Technique. It's very troublesome..."

The 'Thirty-Six Volumes of the Taiwei Purple Cloud' was a top-tier secret technique in the world, encompassing profound and mysterious Myriad Manifestations. Regardless of one's aptitude, disciples of the Qingyun Sect could find corresponding methods to cultivate.

In this situation, naturally, no one cared about other secret techniques.

The sect had collected some secret techniques that were powerful and unique. Although the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique was good, it was not worth the effort to collect.

Gao Xian couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. If even the Qingyun Sect didn't have the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique, it would be troublesome.

Yun Qiushui noticed that Gao Xian's mood wasn't good and comforted him, "The Five Elements Qi Fusion technique is extremely troublesome. After becoming a true disciple, Brother Gao can choose one of the two volumes, 'Divine Cloud' or 'Spirit Cloud', to cultivate. Both of them are based on the power of the Five Elements, and it won't have much impact on you..."

"I heard that after Foundation Building, you can't switch to another technique?" Gao Xian asked in confusion.

"Hahaha..."

Yun Qiushui laughed, "That's true for ordinary cultivators. Our sect's 'Thirty-Six Volumes of the Taiwei Purple Cloud' is so brilliant that it can be compatible with other secret techniques."

He added, "Of course, switching techniques still has some problems, and the path of cultivation will be more difficult."

Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "What are the problems with the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique? Please tell me honestly, Brother Yun."

"The Five Elements Qi Fusion technique..." Yun Qiushui said, "I'm not very clear about it either, so I'll just give a brief explanation."

Gao Xian listened attentively, as it concerned his future path.

According to Yun Qiushui, the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique, when combined with the Great Five Elements Technique, could make it a top-tier secret technique in the world.

The most crucial problem with the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique was that it required finding a partner to cultivate together, which was why it was called a fusion technique!

However, cultivating together was not difficult. The key was that both parties needed to be in sync mentally and have compatible spiritual consciousness.

This was extremely difficult because everyone had their own thoughts, their own understanding of cultivation, and their own desires.

To cultivate the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique, one had to cooperate with the other person wholeheartedly. The higher the degree of compatibility, the faster the cultivation speed and the purer the cultivation base.

Although the world was vast, it was difficult to find a suitable partner, let alone someone who would wholeheartedly cooperate in cultivation.

Yun Qiushui believed that this was the biggest obstacle.

Even if Gao Xian obtained the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique and found a partner, it would be difficult to achieve good results.

Instead of that, it would be better to switch to the Thirty-Six Volumes of the Taiwei Purple Cloud. Although there would be some troubles, the senior predecessors of the sect had left various solutions.

Compared to finding a partner for the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique, this was the right path!

However, Gao Xian became more interested in the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique. He had Lan Jie and a powerful spiritual consciousness that could manipulate mana, which was extremely compatible with him.

As long as Lan Jie could cultivate the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique, he could cultivate it together with her.

If that were the case, the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique would be a secret technique tailor-made for him!

He asked, "Brother Yun, where can I obtain the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique? I want to give it a try."

Yun Qiushui sighed lightly. He didn't agree with Gao Xian's persistence, but when it came to matters of cultivation, he couldn't force Gao Xian.

He said, "As far as I know, the Profound Darkness Sect has the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique. It's the sect where Yin Lihua is located."

Gao Xian's heart stirred. Profound Darkness Sect, Yin Lihua, Shui Yuying... It was all connected again. It was truly fate.

"I wonder if they sell the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique?" Gao Xian sighed.

Yun Qiushui laughed, "Although the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique has its drawbacks, it is ultimately a complete inheritance. The Profound Darkness Sect wouldn't sell it to outsiders."

He suggested, "Why don't you pursue Yin Lihua? She holds a very important position in the Profound Darkness Sect. With her help, even stealing the Five Elements Qi Fusion technique would be possible."

"I am willing to dedicate myself to the great path!" Gao Xian said earnestly.

"Hahaha..."

Yun Qiushui laughed heartily, "Good, I will help you make the connection. With Brother Gao's appearance and talent, capturing Yin Lihua will be as easy as turning over your hand!"
