Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 250: Supreme Profound Nine Yin Slaughter Technique

"200,000 merit points."

Gao Xian checked the Shangong Academy and found that a considerable amount of merit points were required to exchange for Gui Water Wood Essence.

Moreover, Gui Water Wood Essence could only be exchanged with the Divine Heaven True Transmission.

This restriction indicated the preciousness of Gui Water Wood Essence.

Gao Xian also checked the Shangong tasks, which included collecting spiritual objects and medicinal herbs, killing demons and evil spirits, as well as mining minerals. The level of Shangong tasks was divided into ten levels according to the Heavenly Stems.

Overall, it was similar to the Shangong Hall of the Azure Cloud Sect. To be precise, the entire Azure Cloud Sect was a downgraded version of the Azure Cloud Sect.

The tasks with more merit points were all very dangerous. Although Gao Xian was confident, he was unwilling to take risks for a spiritual object.

In this way, it was actually putting the cart before the horse.

The ordinary tasks had too few merit points, and he didn't know how long it would take to accumulate 200,000.

According to Yun Qingxuan, for the first thirty years of the Divine Heaven True Transmission, there was no need to work. There would be no fixed positions or assigned tasks.

The Divine Heaven True Transmission was a precious treasure of the sect and the future of the sect. The sect would definitely nurture it for several decades to give it time to grow.

However, the Divine Heaven Hall would assess the True Transmission every ten years.

The assessment results would determine the resources one could enjoy for the next ten years.

Since he had become the Divine Heaven True Transmission, he could completely lie low for thirty years.

He didn't have to lie completely low, just do some low-level Shangong tasks. Accumulating for thirty years, he would surely be able to accumulate 200,000 merit points.

Gao Xian returned to his own courtyard on the Xuan Du Peak, and Da Niu was already organizing medicinal herbs in the pharmacy.

This time, he didn't bring Zhou Ye. Xuan Du Peak didn't even have any people, so Zhou Ye wouldn't be of any use here.

The house in Azure Cloud City also needed someone to look after it. Zhou Ye had no hope of advancing further, so it was good for him to stay in Azure Cloud City and retire.

Da Niu liked the new home very much. First of all, it was quiet enough here, and there was a spacious alchemy room and pharmacy. The spiritual energy was also exceptionally abundant, far surpassing Azure Cloud City.

Being able to cultivate and refine pills here was the epitome of happiness.

In the past two years, Gao Xian had also taught Da Niu some things from the "Elixir of Immortality Scripture". For Da Niu, the content of the Elixir of Immortality Scripture was still too complicated.

Mainly because Da Niu's cultivation was not enough, and he followed the path of Body Refining, he didn't have a profound control over mana, so it was difficult for him to understand the Elixir of Immortality Scripture.

Fortunately, Da Niu was very diligent. After years of cultivation, he could refine some commonly used Rank One pills.

Outside, he could be considered a master alchemist.

Gao Xian found it difficult to get his hands on the Gui Water Wood Essence for a while, so he relaxed instead.

These days, besides necessary daily tasks, he mainly guided the talented individuals in alchemy and cultivation.

He didn't have to watch the alchemy furnace every day, rush to practice swordsmanship and cultivation techniques, plot to kill or save his own life, engage in political maneuvering, or talk about love with Qi Niang, Yu Ling, and the others. Gao Xian felt that life had slowed down, and he was completely relaxed...

Gao Xian remembered a summer in Feima Town, when he lay in his room drinking ice-cold sour plum soup and leisurely reading travelogues. Those days were truly carefree, like living as an immortal.

Counting on his fingers, he had transmigrated for ten years. In these ten years, there was only that one period of relaxed and happy days.

The True Transmission of the Divine Heaven allowed one to lie flat for thirty years, and he truly lay flat for thirty years. At that time, he was only sixty years old.

He had a lifespan of four hundred and forty years, and at sixty years old, he had only lived one-seventh of his life. No matter how one calculated it, he was at the peak of his life at that time.

Gao Xian could relax like this mainly because he discovered that his Human Dao Spiritual Light was growing rapidly. After three months of seclusion, he had accumulated over one million and ten thousand Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Qi Niang had integrated the Medicine Hall of Lianyun Sect, and the combined monthly sales of Lu Jiao San and Tian Gui Dan amounted to one hundred thousand pills.

Excluding the three hundred thousand Human Dao Spiritual Light from selling pills, the remaining eight hundred thousand Human Dao Spiritual Light came from novels such as "Dream of the Red Chamber."

This greatly exceeded Gao Xian's expectations. He originally thought that this trend would quickly pass, but he didn't expect these few books to have such lasting power.

After careful consideration, he felt that as the leader of the Qingyun Conference, he had a huge boost to novels.

On the other hand, the cultural industry in this world was too impoverished.

In simple terms, there were too few people writing novels, and even fewer good ones. Not to mention the fact that he also had the powerful tool of illustrations.

Just like how Jin Yong's novels could sell for decades, it was because there were so few entertainment options in that era.

In an era of exceptional information exchange, Jin Yong could still become popular, but his influence couldn't radiate outward through a large number of film and television works, nor could he become a symbol of an era.

His current situation was similar. These few novels needed to have a story, emotions, and excitement.

In the next ten to twenty years, these few novels would maintain their influence.

No, novels had very low production costs and could continuously spread through various channels.

Given the number of cultivators in Jiuzhou, the amount of Human Dao Spiritual Light these few books would obtain would be terrifying.

This was the ideal situation. In less ideal circumstances, these few books could still maintain their popularity for several years and bring him a large amount of Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Realizing this, Gao Xian lost interest in alchemy. If he had time, he might as well write two more novels and seize an opportunity to gain fame.

There were thirty-six paths in Wanfeng County, and the Qingyun Path was only one-thirty-sixth of it.

To say that it radiated throughout Jiuzhou was a bit too far-fetched. Just the thirty-six paths in Wanfeng County would be enough for him to thrive.

On the other hand, Gao Xian doesn't really want to "lie flat" for thirty years.

Time is precious, and he is already much slower in cultivation compared to others, so he needs to make the most of his time and achieve Core Formation as soon as possible.

At that time, with eight hundred years of lifespan, it wouldn't be too late to "lie flat".

During this period of time, Gao Xian actually focused his energy on the Great Principle Soul Formation Classic.

After completing his routine exercises every night, he would enter the Heart and Mind Temple to practice the Great Principle Soul Formation Classic.

The Great Principle Soul Formation Classic has an extraordinary aspect, which is that the Great Principle essence can transform various types of mana and spiritual energy, with almost no restrictions.

The mana condensed through the cultivation of the Five Elements can all be transformed into Great Principle essence. Of course, this process will inevitably result in some loss of mana.

The three divine forms of Tai Xuan, Tai Yuan, and Tai Ji not only can be divided into avatars, but each divine form also possesses corresponding secret techniques, Divine Abilities.

Cultivators are limited by the nature of their own secret techniques, and can only control the corresponding spells and Law Weapons.

Among the thousands of types of mana, most of them have mana barriers that are incompatible with each other. Not to mention that some types of mana naturally restrain each other.

However, the Great Principle essence can be transformed into any type of mana through its special nature. This allows the three divine forms of Tai Xuan, Tai Yuan, and Tai Ji to master different attribute secret techniques, Divine Abilities.

The secret technique corresponding to the Tai Xuan divine form is the Tai Xuan Nine Yin Slaughter Hand, the secret technique corresponding to the Tai Yuan divine form is the Tai Yuan Splitting Light Sword, and the secret technique corresponding to the Tai Ji divine form is the Tai Ji Heavenly Armor and Tai Ji Profound Light Robe.

Each of the four secret techniques is profound, mysterious, and extremely powerful.

The key is that the three different cultivation paths of the four secret techniques would cause conflicts in mana. Without the ability to freely transform mana like the Great Principle essence, these conflicts would be enough to cause a cultivator to self-destruct.

Gao Xian chose the Great Principle Soul Formation Classic partly because he saw the special nature of the Great Principle essence.

As long as he can integrate the three divine forms of Tai Xuan, Tai Yuan, and Tai Ji with his own avatar, he can cultivate sword techniques and even cultivate demonic techniques.

Given time, he can choose to study the "Tai Wei Flying Immortal Sword Classic", or obtain sword techniques from the small Grotto-Heaven deep underground Azure Dawn Peak, or at worst, choose the Qingyun Sword Classic.

He can also make use of the Blood God Banner in his hand. This Rank Three demonic Law Weapon has considerable power and is suitable for doing evil deeds.

The ability to be compatible with various secret techniques is the greatest strength of the Great Principle Soul Formation Classic.

Gao Xian also relies on the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror to continuously strengthen his Soul Formation awareness. He can also add points to the Five Elements Combined Qi technique. Naturally, he wants to fully utilize his advantages.

Taking everything into consideration, the Great Principle Soul Formation Classic is undoubtedly the most suitable secret technique for him.

He relied on the experience packs left by the senior members of the sect to quickly reach the expert level, but he still needs to practice continuously to master the subtle variations of the three divine forms.

In early February, Gao Xian received a letter from Qianniang, saying that the stock of elixirs was not enough for a month and asked him to refine elixirs as soon as possible.

After considering for a while, Gao Xian still felt that he couldn't give up on alchemy. Even if he didn't care about those Human Dao Spiritual Lights, it would be a pity to give up on a business that could earn him ten thousand spirit stones per month.

With the presence of experts, as long as he keeps an eye on things, alchemy is not too troublesome.

Gao Xian quickly convinced himself and began the tedious life of alchemy and cultivation with Da Niu.

In March, the season of warm spring and blooming flowers, the peach blossoms on Xuan Du Peak withered.

As the spring breeze brushed past, the beautiful and vibrant peach blossoms fell like rain, creating a desolate yet picturesque scene.

The courtyard where Gao Xian practiced alchemy was covered in red flowers. Yun Qiu Shui arrived, stepping on the carpet of flowers.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Yun Qiu Shui was still the young man in white clothes, exuding a bold and sharp aura between his brows.

"Gao Xian, you look so carefree and at ease." Yun Qiu Shui greeted with a smile.

"Living in the mountains without keeping track of time, watching the clouds is like witnessing immortality."

Gao Xian was delighted to see Yun Qiu Shui. With no one and nothing to do in the deep mountains, having such a good friend come to visit invigorated him, prompting him to show off by reciting a poem.

This line was originally ordinary, but it was a self-praise when said to Yun Qiu Shui, carrying a double meaning.

Yun Qiu Shui understood and enjoyed this unique form of flattery. "Gao Xian, you flatter me so much, I feel unworthy."

Gao Xian chuckled, "It's been a while, I've missed you, Yun Xiong. Why did you come only now?"

"I've been cultivating during this period, fortunately making some progress."

"Foundation Building, tenth level?"

Gao Xian carefully observed Yun Qiu Shui and noticed that he was full of vitality. Three areas on his body emitted a bright and pure spiritual light, indicating that his cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Building.

Thinking that Yun Qiu Shui was only twenty years old, his progress was astonishing.

Yun Qiu Shui said, "I practice the way of the sword, emphasizing courage and moving forward. I've been cultivating for two years, closed-door cultivation for several months, and successfully broke through two barriers. After another three to five years of cultivation, I should be ready for Core Formation."

Gao Xian was quite envious. Yun Qiu Shui spoke casually, as if Core Formation was a matter of course.

On the other hand, Gao Xian felt a sense of urgency. Yun Qiu Shui was about to reach Core Formation at such a young age, while he was only in the early stage of Foundation Building. The gap was too wide.

If things continued like this, how could he continue to play with Yun Qiu Shui?

Yun Qiu Shui casually asked, "How is your Great Principle Soul Formation cultivation going, Gao Xiong?"

"It's alright, but I lack the assistance of spiritual objects, so my progress is slow."

Gao Xian had nothing to hide from Yun Qiu Shui and said, "The Gui Water Wood Essence is a bit too expensive, requiring twenty thousand good deeds. It's quite troublesome."

Yun Qiu Shui smiled, "I have a way to quickly earn twenty thousand good deeds. Would you like to give it a try?"

"There's such a good opportunity?"

Gao Xian's spirits lifted, "Please tell me more!"
