Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 280: Chance Encounter

Gao Xian easily killed the Gold Core demonic cultivator Yin Baishi, and he was in a great mood.

In this battle, he didn't use any tricks or schemes, relying solely on his strength to crush Yin Baishi.

From beginning to end, Yin Baishi didn't have any chance. The opponent couldn't even force him to use his clone.

To be able to kill a Gold Core cultivator who had been cultivating for hundreds of years purely based on strength, even if it was just a low-level Gold Core, was something to be proud of.

Gao Xian looked around with his sword in hand, the clear blue sky and vast sea of clouds, and for a moment, he felt a sense of invincible loneliness.

He only regretted that there was no beauty by his side, his lonely and invincible appearance was wasted...

After showing off for a while, Gao Xian calmly controlled the Yin-Yang Heaven Wheel and flew over to catch Yin Baishi, who was about to fall to the ground.

It didn't matter if this old man, who looked like a crossdresser, was smashed to pieces. It was environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral, saving the trouble of burying him.

But this old man had lived for hundreds of years and had some valuable things on him.

Gao Xian found a place to land and took care of the old man's affairs, mainly collecting the valuable and useful items.

As for the old man, Gao Xian originally wanted to put him in a storage talisman and casually find a crack in the ground to stuff him into.

But then he thought it wasn't safe. This guy had been practicing demonic arts for hundreds of years, and after he died, he might become a Gold Core evil spirit, which would be troublesome.

So Gao Xian used the Solar Flare Bullet to cremate the old man into ashes, giving him a complete rest.

It was only because his Solar Flare Bullet had reached the level of a grandmaster that he could control its slow burning.

Otherwise, if he shot a Solar Flare Bullet, the old man's body would explode and scatter everywhere, which would be quite inhumane.

After dealing with all this, Gao Xian controlled the Yin-Yang Heaven Wheel and returned to Lianyun City.

Before Gao Xian could land, he saw streaks of light flying towards Jinxia Mountain. He knew it was Yuntaihao, so he stopped in mid-air and waited for him.

Yuntaihao arrived quickly, in just a short while.

He was dressed in white, with a serious expression. When he saw Gao Xian, he carefully looked him up and down, especially focusing on the long sword at Gao Xian's waist.

The Azure Lotus Sword had become longer and heavier, with subtle changes in its appearance. Ordinary people couldn't tell, but for a Gold Core Perfected Being, even the slightest change was very obvious.

Not to mention that the aura of the Azure Lotus Sword's flowing mana was also different, which was a significant change.

Yuntaihao was surprised in his heart. Where did Gao Xian go? The grade of his sword had actually improved!

There were no master craftsmen around Lianyun City.

He asked with concern, "Junior Brother, where did you go?"

Gao Xian smiled faintly, "I went to the old site of Feima Gathering."

"Unfortunately, it has become ruins."

Yuntaihao became even more puzzled. Gao Xian had stayed at Feima Gathering for a few years, so what kind of attachment could he have to that place?

Traveling thousands of miles to reminisce about Feima Gathering? Gao Xian was so cunning, this didn't seem like something he would do.

Moreover, Feima Gathering had long been destroyed, there was nothing there. No, there were underground ruins.

Yuntaihao suddenly realized that Gao Xian had been low-key for the past twenty years, but he quickly rose to prominence after going to Feima Gathering.

If there was nothing special about it, no one would believe it.

Many people speculated that Gao Xian had obtained some treasure in the ruins.

Yuntaihao didn't believe that Gao Xian had any treasure. This person had unparalleled talent in spells and swordsmanship, which had nothing to do with Law Treasures.

If Gao Xian had obtained some spiritual object or elixir that improved his talent, it would be more believable.

So, did Gao Xian go to the underground ruins to obtain treasures?

Yun Taihao couldn't quite figure it out. This kind of thing couldn't be asked, even in the best of relationships.

Seeing that Gao Xian didn't even bring Zhu Qiniang with him, it showed how secretive and important this matter was.

Yun Taihao thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Junior brother, just now I sensed the aura of a Gold Core demonic cultivator from the east. Did you encounter that demonic cultivator on your way here?"

"Haha..."

Gao Xian laughed and said, "Senior brother has a divine ability. Even from hundreds of miles away, you can sense the spiritual energy of Yin Bai Shi. That Gold Core demonic cultivator from the Yin Mo Sect has already been killed by me on the spot, body and soul destroyed. Senior brother, don't worry..."

"Hmm?!"

Yun Taihao looked at Gao Xian with surprise and suspicion. He knew that this kid didn't speak reliably. Even ordinary things could be exaggerated when they came out of his mouth.

But could he really make up something like this?!

Based on his understanding of Gao Xian, the other party wouldn't casually talk about such important matters.

Gao Xian noticed Yun Taihao trying to suppress his shocked emotions, and he felt secretly pleased. Old Yun, I've scared you, haven't I? Hahaha!

He then said with a serious expression, "We should eliminate demons and uphold righteousness."

Yun Taihao looked at Gao Xian with a complicated expression. With his experience and wisdom, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Eliminating demons and upholding righteousness could only be treated as a slogan, not a reason for battle, let alone a goal.

Gao Xian came from a humble background and was obviously not the kind of brainless disciple from a major sect. Whatever he said about eliminating demons and upholding righteousness, Yun Taihao would just listen and leave it at that.

What surprised Yun Taihao was Gao Xian saying that he killed Yin Bai Shi, a Gold Core demonic cultivator!

Of course, he knew Yin Bai Shi. This guy had been hiding in Tengshe Mountain for a long time and had even fought him once.

After testing each other, Yun Taihao felt that Yin Bai Shi was somewhat tricky and not worth fighting to the death. Yin Bai Shi probably had the same idea, and both sides tacitly stopped, returning to their respective homes.

For Gao Xian to be able to kill such a seasoned and powerful Gold Core demonic cultivator, what did he rely on? Just his shamelessness?

Yun Taihao fell silent and said, "Yin Bai Shi is cunning and treacherous, with profound cultivation. Junior brother, with only Foundation Building cultivation, to be able to kill this demonic cultivator is truly astonishing."

"It was just luck."

Gao Xian said this, but his face couldn't hide his pride.

He explained, "As senior brother said, Yin Bai Shi is a cunning and treacherous old demon with powerful spells.

"For the sake of upholding the righteous path and for the sake of the people, I could only grit my teeth and persist, experiencing a difficult and bloody battle. In the end, good triumphed over evil, and I killed the old demon on the spot..."

Yun Taihao glanced at Gao Xian. This guy was dressed in clean clothes without a speck of dust on him. Where were the traces of a bloody battle?!

He couldn't help but ask, "Where is the body of the old demon?"

Gao Xian said with some regret, "I killed him with the Demon Suppression Whip, and he turned into ashes on the spot, leaving no trace of his body."

Gao Xian wanted to show off, but he couldn't tell Yun Taihao the truth.

In fact, if Yun Taihao hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have wanted to mention this matter. He was already a true disciple of the sect and didn't need to attract the attention of the higher-ups through this method.

The last time he killed Yin Jiushi, he had already attracted enough attention. If news of him killing Yin Bai Shi spread, he wouldn't gain much benefit but would attract countless jealous enemies.

Hiding his cultivation would better protect himself and allow for better adaptability.

Just like Yun Taihao, the more exaggerated he spoke, the more the other party would feel that something was wrong.

This kind of clever person could come up with various explanations for this matter, which was much better than him explaining it himself.

"Junior brother, sacrificing yourself to eliminate demons truly earns my admiration."

Yun Taihao was deep in thought. Although he was convinced that Gao Xian was talking nonsense, there must be something fishy about this matter.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and earnestly praised Gao Xian.

Gao Xian pretended to be modest but accepted all of Yun Taihao's flattery.

He could understand Yun Taihao's thoughts. It was indeed incredible and unreasonable for a Foundation Building cultivator to kill a Gold Core demonic cultivator. Not to mention anything else, Yin Bai Shi had cultivated for hundreds of years, and he was easily killed by Gao Xian. It would become a joke.

But he has the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, which gathers tens of millions of Human Dao Spiritual Light. These Human Dao Spiritual Light can also be seen as the power of sentient beings' wishes.

With the power of tens of millions of sentient beings, Yin Baishi has only cultivated for a few hundred years. What can he compare with? It is only natural for him to kill Yin Baishi.

However, no one can speak of this reasoning.

Seeing Yun Taihao complimenting him with a puzzled look, Gao Xian smiled happily.

Finally, Gao Xian reminded Yun Taihao again, "Senior Brother, the Yin Demon Sect is ruthless. Please keep this matter confidential for me. Otherwise, if they retaliate against me, it will be troublesome..."

"Junior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret," Yun Taihao assured him.

Yun Taihao then earnestly advised, "Junior Brother, this battle was too hard for you. Take a few days to rest and recuperate. If you need anything, just tell Senior Brother."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"There's no need for thanks between us..."

Yun Taihao watched as Gao Xian entered Lianyun City, and he remained silent for a while before returning to Jinxia Mountain with many doubts in his mind.

Gao Xian didn't care about what Yun Taihao was thinking. He was in a good mood now.

It was the Lunar New Year, and Lianyun City was decorated with lanterns and decorations. The shops along the street were pasted with red paper talismans, and the shopkeepers were dressed in new clothes. Most people had smiles on their faces.

Occasionally, firecrackers were set off by someone, and groups of children ran around the streets, creating a festive and harmonious atmosphere.

Most cultivators only stayed in the Qi Refining stage for their entire lives. In fact, they were not much different from ordinary people.

Gao Xian quite liked this atmosphere. To put it poetically, it had a festive air.

After walking on the long street for a while, Gao Xian suddenly saw a familiar figure in bright red. It was Huang Ying. After several years, her figure was still plump and graceful, but there were a few more fine lines at the corners of her eyes, making her even more charming.

Huang Ying was warmly greeting customers in the shop, giving off the air of a worldly person.

Gao Xian remembered the scene when he first saw Huang Ying. She was just like this, bold and seductive, eloquent and skilled in business.

When he wanted to take Huang Ying back to Lianyun City, she refused to owe him any favors and did not follow him.

He went to Azure Cloud City, and there was no news of Huang Ying since then. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Gao Xian was relieved.

He didn't plan to say hello. Meeting without anything to say would inevitably be awkward.

However, Huang Ying seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head to look. She immediately saw Gao Xian.

Their eyes met, and Huang Ying's face was filled with surprise. She quickly walked out of the shop and hesitated as she greeted him softly, "Master Gao..."

She knew that Gao Xian had entered Azure Cloud Sect and became a true disciple, now on equal footing with the Sect Master.

The news of Yun Taihao hosting a banquet for Gao Xian had spread throughout Lianyun City recently. Even the children knew Gao Xian's name!

Seeing Gao Xian, Huang Ying's face blossomed with a happy smile. Gao Xian was always polite and never condescending to anyone. It was his unique temperament.

She couldn't help but feel emotional and said, "You're still the same, unchanged."

"Not really, obviously I've become more handsome..." Gao Xian replied with a smile.

Huang Ying couldn't help but laugh. Gao Xian was still so witty. Unfortunately, she couldn't maintain that intimate relationship with him anymore.

"Come in and have a seat, have some tea," she invited.

Gao Xian nodded, "Sure."

This shop was also called Baibing Hall, selling some low-level Law Weapons and weapons.

Law Weapons, talismans, and elixirs were all controlled by the sects. Huang Ying must have obtained permission from the sect to sell Law Weapons. It seemed that the Huang family still had some connections within the sect.

Huang Ying knew that Gao Xian was already a Foundation Building cultivator, so these low-level Law Weapons were not worth her attention. She led Gao Xian to the main room behind.

The guests and staff in the shop were curious when they saw Huang Ying being affectionate with Gao Xian. Although these low-level cultivators didn't have a keen eye, they could still see that Gao Xian had an extraordinary temperament.

Especially with Gao Xian's pure and condensed aura of spiritual power, it was obvious that he was a Foundation Building cultivator. No one dared to look at him for too long, let alone strike up a conversation.

Seeing the awe in everyone's eyes, Huang Ying felt a sense of pride. She wanted to introduce Gao Xian's identity to everyone, but then she changed her mind and suppressed that thought.

In the main room, Huang Ying brewed a pot of tea and prepared some dried fruits and pastries.

Apart from that, she didn't call anyone else and just chatted with Gao Xian.

Gao Xian enjoyed this atmosphere very much. Two old friends casually relaxed and interacted without much calculation or concern.

As they talked about the past and the people they knew, both of them felt a sense of emotion.

While they were talking, a young man rushed in, "Second sister..."

When he saw that there was a stranger present, he couldn't help but pause and awkwardly said, "Is there a guest?"

Huang Ying waved for the young man to come over and smiled at Gao Xian, "He's my younger brother, always restless even though he's almost thirty."

She introduced the young man to Gao Xian, "This is Master Gao Xian."

The young man looked at Gao Xian with excitement, "Master Gao Xian who wrote 'The Legend of the White Snake,' your writing is really exciting..."

Huang Ying felt a bit embarrassed. Of course, she had read "The Legend of the White Snake."

Gao Xian laughed heartily, "You're someone who reads books."

The young man, of course, knew that Gao Xian's identity was extraordinary. Being praised made him even more excited. He hurriedly went to the back and brought out a baby girl, then ran up to Gao Xian, "Master Gao Xian, you have great knowledge, please help me name my daughter."

The baby girl was only two or three months old, with big round eyes and a cute appearance.

Gao Xian declined a few times, but seeing that the man was sincere and with Huang Ying persuading him, he said, "How about naming her Huang Rong?"

"Thank you, Master Gao Xian, for giving her a name," the young man said happily.

He regretted blurting out about "The Legend of the White Snake" earlier. Gao Xian was on equal footing with the sect master, yet he had said such things. It was practically seeking death.

To have Gao Xian name the child was mainly a gesture of respect. Gao Xian actually gave the child a name, which would make it extraordinary when spoken of in the future.

Who in the entire Cloud Sect wouldn't give face to them? This was a great joyous occasion.

Gao Xian knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't mind. On the contrary, he found it amusing to have a little girl named Huang Rong.

Gao Xian didn't stay long. Before leaving, he left ten Five-Grade Longevity Pills for Huang Ying. They were all refined by himself.

Longevity Pills couldn't improve cultivation, but they could prolong one's lifespan, which was beneficial to Huang Ying.

He also gave Huang Rong a calming and warding off evil jade pendant. After all, he had many of these small Law Weapons on him.

After leaving the Bai Bing Hall, Gao Xian had no interest in wandering around anymore. He went straight back to the Zhu family.

Qin Niang was delighted to see Gao Xian return.

Now that Gao Xian's popularity was soaring, she didn't know how many people were watching him. She was really worried about Gao Xian's safety.

"Did anything happen while you were out this time?" Qin Niang asked.

"I encountered a Gold Core demonic cultivator. I suspect someone from the Yin Mo Sect leaked my whereabouts," Gao Xian said.

Qin Niang was shocked, "A Gold Core demonic cultivator?"

"It's fine, I took care of it," Gao Xian said.

Gao Xian grinned proudly, "I'm really strong now!"

Seeing Qin Niang's skeptical expression, Gao Xian took out the Yin Bai Stone storage bag and poured out all the miscellaneous items inside.

Various Law Weapons and spiritual treasures piled up on the ground. Among them were more than twenty High-Grade Crimson Spirit Stones that shimmered and shone. Qin Niang was stunned...
