Great Immortal With Boundless Mana
Chapter 275 Big Gift
Chapter 275: Grand Ceremony
In the spacious hall of the Liuxiang Courtyard, there was only one table of guests today.
Yun Taihao sat at the main seat, Gao Xian sat at the top, Wang Chuan sat beside him, and Zhu Qimang sat below Gao Xian.
On the elevated platform, a group of lightly dressed beauties danced to the music. They were graceful and elegant, each with their own charm.
The owner of the Liuxiang Courtyard, Liu Xiangyun, poured wine for two beauties on the side. Liu Xiangyun was usually very eloquent and could chat with anyone, but she dared not speak freely around Yun Taihao.
Yun Taihao never came to the Liuxiang Courtyard. His temperament was gloomy and cold, and there was no one in Yun City who wasn't afraid of him.
Liu Xiangyun had been in Yun City for nearly twenty years, but this was the first time she had seen the sect master, Yun Taihao.
She actually wanted to establish a relationship with Yun Taihao. If she could get close to him, no one in Yun City would dare to cause trouble in the Liuxiang Courtyard.
Unfortunately, Yun Taihao's power was too great, and she didn't dare to speak to him. Wang Chuan had warned her beforehand to serve honestly and not cause any trouble.
Liu Xiangyun was actually very surprised by the honorable guest Yun Taihao had invited, Gao Xian. He was a young Foundation Building cultivator who used to frequent the Liuxiang Courtyard.
She had been in this business for decades and had seen countless people come and go. But someone as handsome and elegant as Gao Xian was truly unique.
It was not an exaggeration to say that when Gao Xian sat there, the other Foundation Building cultivators looked like pigs and dogs, completely lacking in dignity.
Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to approach him, she couldn't get close.
After Gao Xian left, the girls in the courtyard talked about him for a long time.
Later, when she heard that Gao Xian became the leader of the Qingyun Conference, Liu Xiangyun was both shocked and happy for him. Such a handsome and elegant man deserved it.
But when she heard the news that Gao Xian had killed a Gold Core demonic cultivator, Liu Xiangyun was extremely skeptical.
As a Foundation Building cultivator, she knew how terrifying a Gold Core Perfected Being was. How could a Foundation Building cultivator possibly kill a Gold Core?
Because this matter was too unbelievable, it caused a sensation among the lower levels. When Foundation Building cultivators talked about it, they all had various doubts.
Today, seeing Gao Xian again, who was now an honored guest of the Liuyun Sect, and even the sect master Yun Taihao personally inviting him to the Liuxiang Courtyard, Liu Xiangyun noticed that the two of them were close and called each other senior brother and junior brother. Yun Taihao was also very friendly and at ease with Gao Xian, smiling all night with his usually cold face.
Seeing Yun Taihao's attitude, Liu Xiangyun began to believe in Gao Xian's ability to kill a Gold Core.
Otherwise, how could Yun Taihao be so polite and enthusiastic?
Actually, the one who was even more shocked was Wang Chuan. He had followed Yun Taihao for over two hundred years, and Yun Taihao had never given him a smile.
To be precise, he had never seen Yun Taihao smile. He never expected Yun Taihao to smile, and he smiled so warmly and affably.
Wang Chuan pondered over the taste of this, feeling very complicated.
On the other hand, Zhu Qimang was very happy. The more Yun Taihao treated Gao Xian this way, the more it showed Gao Xian's importance.
In the past, when she lived with Gao Xian, many people secretly mocked her for keeping a young man as a lover.
Now, Yun Taihao was toasting Gao Xian, so what else could those people say!
Yun Taihao naturally noticed the subtle changes in everyone's emotions, but he didn't care.
What did a group of insignificant Foundation Building cultivators understand!
On the contrary, Gao Xian surprised him even more as they spent time together. He had become the inheritor of the Shenxiao Sect's true teachings and had even killed a Gold Core cultivator. He was currently in the limelight.
Facing his former sect master in Yun City, he was definitely full of confidence. Gao Xian exuded a vigorous and upward spirit, but he wasn't arrogant or ostentatious.
He handled the situation very well.
Facing his former sect master, he neither showed off nor was overly low-key. It was as if the two of them were really good friends, very relaxed and generous.
Yun Taihao sighed in his heart. This person was truly deep. If he had shown such magnanimity earlier, he would have treated Gao Xian better back then.
Unfortunately, he actually misjudged the situation and missed the opportunity. Now it will be much more costly to try to win over Gao Xian again.
The banquet ended, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
As they left the Liuxiang Courtyard, Yun Taihao warmly held Gao Xian's hand, displaying an unusually intimate gesture.
Wang Chuan and Zhu Qiniang tactfully stepped aside, giving the two of them space to talk.
"Young brother has come to Liyun City, and since I am your senior brother, I should show some gesture," Yun Taihao said.
Yun Taihao took out a storage bag and handed it to Gao Xian. "Yin Dragon Scale, Purple Gold Wood Heart, Red Fire Snake Tooth, Rank Three Mysterious Gold Spirit Crystal, and White Obsidian Essence. These are high-level spiritual materials for refining the Grand Five Elements Sword Qi, which are just what young brother needs..."
Gao Xian was a bit surprised. Yun Taihao really put some thought into it. Each of these five spiritual materials alone would cost over a hundred thousand spirit stones, and their combined value would be even higher.
Azure Cloud Sect also had a few spiritual materials, but not as complete as these. He was busy cultivating various secret techniques, and the cultivation of the Grand Five Elements Sword Qi required slow and arduous practice, so he didn't have the energy to manage them.
Yun Taihao's gift was so thoughtful that he couldn't refuse. Besides, it would be impolite to reject someone's gift.
Gao Xian didn't pretend to decline either. He graciously accepted the storage bag and said, "Senior brother is thoughtful. These are exactly the spiritual materials that I urgently need. I won't be polite, senior brother."
Yun Taihao laughed heartily. He preferred Gao Xian's straightforwardness. Taking the things directly and accepting the favor directly felt much more comfortable than pretending to decline.
Back at home, Gao Xian couldn't wait to open the storage bag and take out the five spiritual materials inside.
Most of the spiritual materials were naturally formed and didn't have strict quality control, so their quality naturally varied.
After checking them, Gao Xian found that the five spiritual materials given by Yun Taihao were of extremely high quality.
According to market prices, these five high-quality spiritual materials were worth seventy to eighty thousand spirit stones.
Such a high price was actually unaffordable for ordinary Foundation Building cultivators.
For Gold Core cultivators, these spiritual materials were also not cheap. Yun Taihao really went all out this time!
Gao Xian was a little worried and asked Qiniang, "Does he really have nothing to ask of me?"
Qiniang shook her head. "Yun Taihao wouldn't ask you for anything personally, and as for matters concerning the sect, you can't handle them either."
"That's true," Gao Xian smirked. Now his status was too low, and he couldn't interfere with Azure Cloud Sect's decisions.
It seemed that this was just Yun Taihao's way of showing goodwill, but his generosity was truly remarkable.
Gao Xian praised, "He truly deserves to be the sect master. He does things with great magnanimity. Old Yun is actually quite easy to get along with..."
After receiving benefits, Gao Xian's impression of Yun Taihao greatly improved. He felt that this person was not bad at all.
At the very least, he was generous in giving gifts, and that was already a good quality.
Qiniang knew that Gao Xian was just talking. He was a deep thinker, and it wasn't easy to establish a deep relationship with him.
She asked softly, "How long are you planning to stay this time?"
"After finally coming back once, I'll stay until after the New Year," Gao Xian said. "I've already talked to the sect. Staying for a year or two is no problem."
Qiniang couldn't help but feel happy. She hugged Gao Xian proactively.
"Are you coming?" she asked.
Gao Xian smirked, and before Qiniang could explain, he had already dragged her to the bedroom.
After a few rounds of passion, Gao Xian held the weak and limp Qiniang in his arms, feeling satisfied and proud.
"Qiniang, you're getting weaker and weaker, you're simply defenseless..."
Qiniang glanced at Gao Xian without saying a word. She couldn't come up with any tough words. In the two years they hadn't seen each other, Gao Xian had become extremely formidable, completely overpowering her in terms of physical strength.
Gao Xian patted Qi Niang on the shoulder and said, "Don't slack off in your cultivation."
Qi Niang was speechless. She had been exceptionally diligent in her cultivation and often used spiritual objects as aids, but she had not yet been able to break through to the third level of Foundation Building.
Her cultivation speed was already considered very fast in Foundation Building. Gao Xian had reached the fourth level of Foundation Building in just five years, which was abnormal.
"You have a nice voice, I can help you," Gao Xian teased.
Qi Niang blushed a little, feeling that Gao Xian was flirting with her.
"Then, let me act coquettish..."
"No, you can imitate a cat or a dog..."
"Hey hey hey... don't get too carried away, don't bite..."
"Alright, alright."
Gao Xian quickly admitted defeat and took out a Rank Three Green Gold Fruit and a Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow. "You heartless woman, look, these are for you."
Qi Niang recognized the Green Gold Fruit and studied the Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow for a while, recognizing their origins.
She was very surprised and touched. "These are for me?"
"Yes, you have always been the most important person in my heart." Gao Xian took the opportunity to sweet talk her. Since he had done the deed, he couldn't leave out the words.
"Ah Xian..." Qi Niang stumbled over her words, not knowing what to say. She just hugged Gao Xian tightly, tears uncontrollably falling onto him.
Gao Xian never returned after that, only communicating through two letters.
Qi Niang was actually very uneasy in her heart, afraid that Gao Xian would leave her like this. But she also knew that she couldn't control such matters.
Even if she stayed by Gao Xian's side, she couldn't stop him from interacting with other female cultivators.
So, she would rather stay in Liangyun City, where she had her career and her position. Here, she could also obtain more resources without relying on Gao Xian.
Today, Gao Xian surprised her greatly. Not to mention the Rank Three Green Gold Fruit, just the Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow alone showed how much Gao Xian cared for her.
Being cared for and loved by someone like this, she couldn't control her emotions...
"You're really acting coquettish." Gao Xian lovingly wiped away Qi Niang's tears and said softly, "While I'm here, I can help you with your cultivation."
The Green Gold Fruit and the Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow were both powerful spiritual objects, a bit too high-level for Qi Niang.
With him here, he could help Qi Niang transform and absorb the spiritual energy through dual cultivation, which would be beneficial for Qi Niang and also have some benefits for him.
Qi Niang was exceptionally serious in her cultivation and immediately entered the cultivation secret room with Gao Xian.
Gao Xian had a strong spiritual sense and after refining the Great Vajra Pestle, his control over his mana was even more precise.
He was also well-versed in pharmacology and had specifically studied the Green Gold Fruit and the Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow.
With his guidance and assistance, Qi Niang successfully transformed and absorbed the two spiritual objects.
The power of the spiritual objects was too strong. Even with Gao Xian's help, it took Qi Niang more than a month to initially absorb the power of the two spiritual objects.
During this period, Qi Niang's cultivation skyrocketed from the fourth level of Foundation Building to the middle stage of Foundation Building.
And this was only digesting one-third of the spiritual energy.
Gao Xian estimated that with the Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow and the Green Gold Fruit, Qi Niang would be able to reach the late stage of Foundation Building within a few years.
These two important spiritual objects laid an exceptionally solid foundation for Qi Niang. Given time, she would have the opportunity to form a Gold Core.
Of course, it was a bit early to talk about these things now.
The two of them came out of the secret room, and the New Year was approaching.
Gao Xian brought Qi Niang to visit Yun Taihao again, selecting two exquisite Law Weapons from his storage bag as gifts. He couldn't go empty-handed.
Yun Taihao understood Gao Xian's intention very well. Bringing Qi Niang along for the New Year's visit was a way of asking for his favor.
Both of them were intelligent people, so communication between them was easy.
As the New Year approached, there were many things to be done at Changsheng Hall, and Qi Niang was needed to handle them.
Gao Xian spent his days lying in bed, enjoying a leisurely life. Well, if he had nothing else to do, he would play with Xiao Bai.
This son of Nanping Pine was already over six years old, with bright and lively eyes and a mouth that spoke well. Coupled with his chubby and cute appearance, even Qi Niang liked him.
Xiao Bai no longer remembered Gao Xian, but he knew that Gao Xian held an important position and would find opportunities every day to get close to him.
Gao Xian also thought this child was not bad. However, he was too young, and it was fun to play with him casually. He didn't really want to raise a child.
On New Year's Eve, Gao Xian and Qi Niang had a reunion dinner with Xiao Bai.
After staying up for the New Year, Gao Xian and Qi Niang lingered until dawn. Before the sky brightened, he quietly left Lianyun City and drove the Yin Yang Heaven Wheel straight to Azure Dawn Peak.
Having refined the Great Vajra Pestle, Gao Xian's magical power was now vigorous, and his body was strong.
Controlling the Yin Yang Heaven Wheel was exceptionally easy, and even his speed increased by about twenty percent.
He could fly steadily at a speed of four hundred zhang per breath, although it still consumed a lot of magical power. But he could sustain it for several hours without any problem.
Just over an hour later, Gao Xian arrived at Azure Dawn Peak.
Gao Xian activated the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe, concealing his figure in the sky to observe. He continued to observe until the sun rose in the east before finding another mountain peak and resting in a cave for a while.
Although Gao Xian was confident, he still had to be cautious when it came to matters of life and death.
After observing for two days, Gao Xian determined the general situation. That night, he used the Floating Cloud Flag to cover the cave and took out the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror.
After accumulating one million Human Dao Spiritual Light in two months, Gao Xian considered it and decided to upgrade the Ice Fire Thirty-Six Heavens.
There were many cultivators in the underground ruins, and facing a large number of low-level cultivators, the Solar Flare Bullet and Profound Ice Arrow were useful.
With six hundred and forty thousand Human Dao Spiritual Light invested, the Ice Fire Thirty-Six Heavens reached the Grandmaster realm.
The Solar Flare Bullet and Profound Ice Arrow both reached the Master realm, rising with the tide.
Gao Xian tested it in the Heart and Mind Shrine and was very satisfied with the upgrade effect.
At this level, Gao Xian could control the Solar Flare Bullet and Profound Ice Arrow as he pleased, without any limitations.
Everything was ready. Gao Xian looked at the sky outside. It was noon, and the sunlight was shining brightly.
The cold air in the mountains was fierce, and the midday sun couldn't provide any warmth. It only reflected off the snow-covered mountains, making everything look particularly bright and dazzling.
Deep inside the entrance of the ruins, there were several tents, and a group of cultivators were drinking inside.
In front of the tents, there was a Rank Two array that completely sealed off the entrance to the ruins.
Gao Xian activated the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe and silently passed through the array to the side of the cultivators.
The Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe was even more mysterious than the Shadowless Robe. Even a Foundation Building cultivator among the group of cultivators couldn't sense Gao Xian's presence, despite being so close.
After observing for a while, Gao Xian realized that this group of people posed no threat. It would be troublesome to kill them. He quietly moved past them and headed deeper into the cave.
Having been here a few times before, Gao Xian was already very familiar with the ruins.
This time, he wanted to explore the Qinghua Small Grotto-Heaven, so there was no need or desire to provoke the cultivators here.
The Seven Kill Sect and Yin Demon Sect were not to be trifled with. If he really attracted experts, he would have no choice but to flee.
Gao Xian followed the familiar path to the location of the Qinghua Small Grotto-Heaven, only to find that more than ten cultivators had gathered there.
A group of people surrounded the entrance of the Qinghua Small Grotto-Heaven. This was definitely not a coincidence, and Gao Xian felt that something was not right...
