Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 290: Names of People

Gao Xian has always been lenient and generous towards beautiful women. With the looks and charm of Fan Lingzhen, her treatment should be a bit higher.

However, his treatment towards unfamiliar beautiful women is limited to superficial matters.

If Fan Lingzhen suddenly asks for his help, he won't easily agree.

Strictly speaking, the White Lotus Sect should be called a sect. They worship the Great Sun Tathagata and have strict doctrines and rules.

The White Lotus Sect has a large number of followers, including many Monster Race and Devil Cultivators.

According to the doctrines of the White Lotus Sect, as long as one worships the Great Sun Tathagata, they are all brothers and sisters in the sect, without distinction.

For sects like the Azure Cloud Sect, the doctrines of the White Lotus Sect are naturally considered rebellious and evil.

Only sects like the Six Harmonies Sect can see disciples of the White Lotus Sect. Lu Shidao even openly associates with Fan Lingzhen without any reservations.

Gao Xian is very wary of Lu Shidao, let alone this disciple of the heretical sect, Fan Lingzhen.

This time, Lu Shidao arranged for him to go to Mount Dagushan to eliminate evil spirits, and coincidentally, he ended up with Fan Lingzhen. It's hard to believe that there's nothing going on here.

However, everyone is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and they can't show what they're thinking on their faces.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "I am someone who loves to help others. Fellow Daoist Fan, just tell me if you need anything. As long as it doesn't violate principles and rules, I will do my best."

Fan Lingzhen looked deeply at Gao Xian. This person's words sound nice, but what are these principles and rules? They are just determined by this guy himself.

In other words, he has already prepared an excuse not to help.

This guy looks handsome and extraordinary, but he is also very cunning.

Fan Lingzhen said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, I might as well be frank. The evil spirit on Mount Dagushan is quite troublesome. Even though your spells are superb, it would be in vain if you can't catch the evil spirit.

"I can help you catch the evil spirit and solve this problem for you."

"So, what do you want me to do?" Gao Xian asked.

Fan Lingzhen smiled charmingly, "Words alone are not enough. It's difficult for fellow Daoist to trust me just by saying it now. Let's go to Mount Dagushan first, and we can discuss it then."

Naturally, Gao Xian had no objections. He explained the situation to Huang Yan, the deacon of the Cloud River Tower, and then followed Fan Lingzhen out of the Six Harmonies City towards Mount Dagushan.

What surprised Gao Xian was that Fan Lingzhen actually had a Qingye Flying Boat.

This green flying boat could be rolled up into a small piece and expanded into a two-zhang long green flying boat when released.

The interior space was quite spacious, enough to accommodate five or six people.

Although the Qingye Flying Boat was not very fast, it was comfortable and convenient.

Controlling the escape light to fly in the sky is not only extremely draining of magic power, but also impossible to rest or cultivate.

During long journeys, cultivators would use flying magical items. Unless forced, no one would use the escape light for long-distance travel.

Gao Xian could afford to buy a flying magical item, and he even obtained one from someone else. However, he found it too bulky and cumbersome, and the flying speed was slow.

He could travel swiftly with his Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel, which consumed less magic power. He could travel thousands of miles without stopping to rest. He felt that he didn't need a flying magical item.

However, flying on a flying boat with a beautiful woman in the sky was indeed a different feeling.

Although the Qingye Flying Boat was slow like a cart, it was comfortable and cozy.

Fanzhen was also very attractive. This woman was interesting, sometimes very enthusiastic, with a seductive gaze that was particularly captivating.

Sometimes, she would be very silent, even appearing gloomy and cold.

It was normal for ordinary people to have different emotional states. Fanzhen's emotional changes often seemed inexplicable, and her words and actions would clearly change with her emotions, making her seem like a completely different person.

Fanzhen's unpredictable changes further piqued Gao Xian's interest.

Originally, Gao Xian was quite innocent, but after being taught by Li Feihuang and Shui Yuying, he gradually became more open-minded.

Matters between men and women were just a scenery on the long path of the Great Dao.

As long as both parties were willing, they could share the joy and beauty of it. There was no need to think too much about other things.

Gao Xian was open-minded, but not promiscuous. He thought Fanzhen was good, but he wouldn't actively seduce her.

After a slow journey on the Qingye Flying Boat for five days, they finally arrived at Dagushan.

Dagushan was not a single mountain, but a collective term for a group of mountains. The most distinctive feature was that all the peaks were short and round, with an unusually flat surface, as if they had been shaved off by something.

Looking down from the sky, it looked like colorful drums arranged on the ground, extending for thousands of miles.

Fanzhen had introduced the situation of Dagushan to Gao Xian, but he was still somewhat surprised to see the mountains shaped like drums with his own eyes.

"Dagushan truly lives up to its name."

Gao Xian casually asked, "With such a peculiar mountain shape, I wonder what its origin is?"

"Some say it's eroded by underground yin winds all day, which has shaped the mountains like this. Others say it's an unparalleled power using the mountains as chess pieces, resulting in this appearance..."

Fanzhen said, "Dagushan has looked like this since recorded history, but no one can explain its origin clearly."

She didn't care about it, and the people here had long been accustomed to this strange geographical environment, so no one paid much attention to it.

"Dagufang has about seventy to eighty thousand cultivators, quite lively."

Fanzhen said, "Shall we rest for a day, fellow daoist?"

"It's all up to Fellow Daoist Fan's arrangement."

Gao Xian had no objections. If they were to kill the evil spirits, they needed to be able to find them. If what Fan Lingzhen said was true, there was no use in being anxious.

Da Gu Fang was located next to a large river, with a crude-looking city wall made of blue giant stones.

Most of the buildings inside were also constructed with giant stones, giving them a heavy and sturdy appearance.

The cultivators here were mostly tall and strong, with few wearing Magical Robes. Instead, many of them wore half-body leather armor and commonly used weapons such as bows, arrows, long knives, and spears, giving them a fierce style.

As Gao Xian and Fan Lingzhen entered Da Gu Fang, the man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was bright and graceful, attracting the attention of the people around them.

Although the cultivators here had a rough and fierce style, they were not fools. Upon sensing the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Gao Xian and Fan Lingzhen, everyone put away their fierce and arrogant expressions, obediently lowering their gazes and refraining from staring.

The more skilled a cultivator was in battle, the more they understood the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As long as they weren't tired of living, no one would provoke a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Fan Lingzhen was familiar with this place and led Gao Xian into a large inn. With a command, the innkeeper asked all the other guests to leave.

The once lively inn quickly became quiet.

Fan Lingzhen and Gao Xian chose a clean guest room each and rested.

Traveling on the Qing Ye Flying Boat was comfortable, but flying in the sky for a long journey still made one tired.

Even Gao Xian, who was used to it, preferred the grounded and solid feeling.

After resting for most of the day, Gao Xian quickly adjusted. He went to the main hall and chatted with the innkeeper and the waiters, mainly inquiring about the local customs and practices.

According to the innkeeper, Da Gu Mountain had a unique terrain but was abundant in various spiritual herbs and spirit medicine.

Collecting herbs was the main source of income for the cultivators in Da Gu Fang. Because they often entered the mountains to collect herbs, they inevitably had dealings with Demonic Beasts, which made the cultivators here more fierce in style.

Of course, the main reason was that they were adjacent to the Eastern Wasteland, which was influenced by the Eastern Wasteland Monster Race. For example, the cultivators here preferred to wear leather armor, and even iron armor.

For low-level cultivators, Magical Robes were expensive and not suitable for entering the mountains. Armor was more durable, provided better protection, and was more practical.

Through casual conversations, Gao Xian also heard some news about the evil spirits.

The evil spirits with two horns on their heads had killed many cultivators in the past year. The cultivators in Da Gu Fang were also filled with fear.

However, most people had no choice but to endure and persevere for their livelihoods.

After taking a stroll outside, Gao Xian heard similar rumors everywhere, all saying that the evil spirits were powerful and had mysterious whereabouts.

When he returned to the inn to find Fan Lingzhen, she said she wanted to engage in Closed Door Training for a few days. Gao Xian understood that Fan Lingzhen was letting him try it out first.

Gao Xian didn't mind. He would give it a try.

His Divine Sense was powerful, and techniques like Thunderbolt and Lightning Law and Yang Spear could restrain the evil spirits. The Azure Lotus Law Crown and Magical Robe could also restrain them.

Not to mention that he has the Heavenly Pivot Thunderous Demon-Slaying Golden Whip in his hand, even a Rank Three Evil Spirit cannot withstand a single strike from his whip.

Gao Xian asked the shopkeeper for help and quickly found a group of cultivators who often ventured into the mountains.

This group of cultivators consisted of three men and two women, all of whom had rough and bold appearances, with the two women being tall and sturdy as well.

The leader of the group was a man named Dong Yong, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was quite famous in Dagufang.

When Dong Yong heard that Gao Xian wanted to go into the mountains to find the Evil Spirit, his face showed hesitation and difficulty. "Master Gao, this Evil Spirit has elusive whereabouts and is very dangerous. It is said that it can even burrow into the ground and trees."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Since the Evil Spirit can use Wood Burrowing and Earth Burrowing techniques, it is almost impossible to catch this guy in Dagushan.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators from Liuhe Sect have also come to capture the Evil Spirit, but they have always returned empty-handed. One time, a well-known Foundation Establishment cultivator was seriously injured by the Evil Spirit.

Since Dagufang cannot solve the problem of the Evil Spirit, everyone can only try to coexist with this guy.

Fortunately, the Evil Spirit doesn't have a big appetite and doesn't often come out to kill people. In over a year, only a few hundred cultivators have died at the hands of the Evil Spirit.

Calculating, there are only a few dozen cultivators dying each month, which is still fewer than those who die from internal conflicts among cultivators.

Dong Yong also had a worry. The Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him was too young and too handsome and clean.

Wearing a Magical Item Magical Robe, he looked extraordinary.

It is obvious that this person must be from a major sect. This kind of Foundation Establishment cultivator is afraid that he has never been to the mountains, let alone have experience dealing with Rank Two Evil Spirits.

If he really encounters that Rank Two Evil Spirit, he is afraid that he won't be able to fight against the opponent.

Gao Xian saw the thoughts of Dong Yong and the others, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am a true disciple of Qingyun. I can still exterminate a small Evil Spirit."

"Qingyun true disciple, surnamed Gao, and so handsome..." Dong Yong had a flash of insight in his mind. "You are the formidable cultivator Gao Xian who excels in both law and sword!"

"Haha, you have also heard of my insignificant reputation."

Gao Xian laughed even more happily. This kid is big and strong, and he knows how to talk.

"It's really Master Gao, then we can rest assured."

Dong Yong was overjoyed. He didn't know about others, but the reputation of the formidable cultivator who excels in both law and sword was well-known.

This person can even kill a Gold Core, so what can a small Evil Spirit do?

Dong Yong enthusiastically said, "Master Gao, not to boast, but the few of us are very familiar with the situation in the mountains..."
