Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 291: White Lotus Flower Blooms

In the deep autumn of October, the mountains were dyed with vibrant autumn colors.

This was also the most active season for Demonic Beasts. They needed to hunt enough prey to survive the long winter.

The closer they were to the Eastern Wasteland, the colder the winter became. Both humans and Demonic Beasts found the harsh winter difficult to endure.

Dong Yong and the others had been hunting Demonic Beasts in the mountains all year round, so they were all experienced.

They didn't need Gao Xian to take action when encountering Demonic Beasts. They could easily kill them with their tacit cooperation.

Even some Rank Two Demonic Beasts could be killed by them using Magical Items and poison, although the process was more dangerous.

Gao Xian had been watching from the side without helping.

Since this group of people could handle it, he didn't need to take action. Taking the initiative would only invite disdain.

Dong Yong and the others probably didn't want to share their prey with him.

After wandering in the mountains for seven or eight days, Dong Yong and the others had gained a lot, but Gao Xian hadn't even seen the shadow of a Demonic Beast.

That night, Dong Yong and the others were already sleeping around the campfire.

Gao Xian was a little impatient. It was all about relying on luck to find the Demonic Beasts. Dealing with the evil spirits required a proactive strategy.

According to Dong Yong and the others, this Bull Horned Evil Spirit liked to devour flesh and blood.

Since he couldn't find it, he decided to try using bait.

Gao Xian flicked his finger, and a drop of Blood Essence flew into the air.

The crystal-clear blood emitted a strong Spiritual Qi.

His Vajra body had been tempered day and night by secret techniques, and the power of his Blood Essence far surpassed that of an ordinary Gold Core.

This drop of Blood Essence emitted a rich aroma and quickly spread out.

Cultivators had a weak perception of Blood Qi, but the noses of wild beasts could easily smell the scent of blood from several miles away.

Gao Xian stimulated this drop of blood, which was as pure as gold and had no bloody smell. However, the aura of the Blood Essence itself was like a flame in the darkness, which should be very attractive to evil spirits.

In no time, a giant snake came running, attracted by the scent.

The black snake crawled silently underground. Its movements were not fast, but the scent of blood was very attractive to it. However, it could also faintly sense a dangerous aura.

The black snake had already reached the Rank Two level and had some intelligence. It had a keen sense of danger.

A cold light accompanied by a sharp whistle pierced through the air, and the black snake sensed that something was wrong. It quickly twisted its body and tried to retreat, but the cold light had already deeply penetrated its head.

The long and thick body of the snake twitched for a while before quickly losing its breath.

Gao Xian's Ice Arrow, when used to kill these Rank Two Demonic Beasts, was as easy as turning one's hand.

The sharp whistle of the Ice Arrow also awakened Dong Yong and the others.

"It's okay, just a Demonic Beast."

Gao Xian said softly, "You guys can rest."

Although he said that, Dong Yong and the others couldn't sleep.

After a few days, they all felt that Gao Xian had a good temper, treated people politely, and never acted superior or gave orders.

This made them all think that Gao Xian was a good person, and they gradually lost some of their awe and gained some closeness towards him.

Gao Xian never took action, which made them somewhat doubtful. Is this dual-sword master really that powerful?

Tonight's Xuanbing Arrow shocked Dong Yong and the others.

They didn't see the Xuanbing Arrow, but the sharp whistling sound was so intense that they felt as if they had been pierced.

Dong Yong and the others exchanged glances, none of them dared to ask or speak.

After a while, they saw the cold light breaking through the air, and the sharp whistling sound echoed in the mountains and fields.

After such a long time, Dong Yong and the others couldn't sleep at all. They huddled there, holding their breath, afraid of making any noise that would disturb Gao Xian.

As the eastern sky began to lighten, it was the time when ghosts grinned, but the surroundings became even darker and deeper.

Gao Xian, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a long golden streamer in the darkness.

Dong Yong and the others knew that something was wrong and hurriedly got up. Someone asked, "Boss, should we go up?"

Before this person finished speaking, a fierce burst of lightning exploded in the depths of the distant forest, followed by a deafening roar.

Dong Yong and the others felt as if the ground was trembling, and the surrounding mountains seemed to be shaking.

The terrifying momentum made Dong Yong and the others pale with fear, and some of them couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, but the sound of the mountains collapsing and the earth splitting was too terrifying. They felt like they could die at any moment.

Just as Dong Yong and the others were in a panic, a figure flashed, and Gao Xian had already returned.

"Master Gao!" Dong Yong was overjoyed. Gao Xian's appearance made him feel particularly safe.

Gao Xian responded lightly, appearing not very interested.

Dong Yong carefully observed Gao Xian and found that he was spotless from head to toe, not even a single strand of hair out of place. His breathing was long and even, and his expression was calm, as if he had just taken a walk.

After thinking for a moment, Dong Yong couldn't help but ask, "Master Gao, was it an evil spirit?"

"This guy is cunning, it managed to escape." Gao Xian was also a bit frustrated. He knew that the opponent could use earth and wood escape techniques, so he used the Demon Subduing Golden Whip as soon as he arrived.

With a single strike, the opponent still managed to escape underground.

Gao Xian had the Flower Spirit Mirror and a powerful Divine Sense. He thought he could lock onto the opponent's aura.

After all, it was an evil spirit. Could its evil aura really escape his eyes?

As a result, as soon as the evil spirit entered the ground, it disappeared without a trace, and its aura completely vanished.

This was the first time Gao Xian had encountered such a situation, and he was a bit confused.

When Yin Jiushi was escaping for his life, he tried his best to conceal his aura, but he couldn't escape his pursuit.

However, the evil spirit was able to hide its aura completely, which was much more powerful than Yin Jiushi.

This battle made Gao Xian realize the seriousness of the problem. As long as he couldn't kill the evil spirit with one strike, he couldn't keep it.

No wonder Fan Lingzhen was so confident, acting as if she was the only one capable of dealing with it.

After confirming this, Gao Xian no longer had the intention to run around with Dong Yong and the others.

"I'm leaving first. Consider these Demonic Beasts as my reward." He instructed, then turned into a platinum rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

Dong Yong was about to speak, but he couldn't see Gao Xian anymore, only the rainbow left by him in the sky.

"This..."

"Lord Gao flies really fast!"

A sturdy woman couldn't help but ask, "He said he would give us five hundred Spirit Stones. I wonder if it's enough."

Dong Yong glared at the woman, "Don't talk nonsense."

He was actually worried too, but he didn't dare to say it. If Gao Xian heard it, he couldn't bear the consequences.

It was already dawn, and Dong Yong and the others searched around and found dozens of Demonic Beasts in the vicinity. Among them, there were two Rank Two Demonic Beasts.

All the Demonic Beasts had their heads pierced by spells and were killed with one strike.

They also saw the battlefield where Gao Xian fought. There was a huge pit several zhang in diameter on the ground, and countless cracks spread from the pit to the distance.

All the trees within a radius of several hundred zhang were carbonized and shattered.

The terrifying power shocked Dong Yong and the others. They had all witnessed the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At this moment, everyone began to doubt whether Gao Xian was really not a Gold Core cultivator?!

Gao Xian had already returned to the inn and entered Fan Lingzhen's room.

He didn't want to waste time, and with so many people giving him money, he was financially comfortable and didn't care about a few thousand Spirit Stones, so he was generous.

"Fan fellow daoist, tell me, how can we cooperate?" Gao Xian was very direct. Fan Lingzhen was a smart person, and there was no point in beating around the bush with her.

Fan Lingzhen seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and a beautiful curve formed at the corner of her mouth. "Fellow daoist, I will help you kill the evil spirit. After the success, the Magical Item on the evil spirit will belong to me."

"The evil spirit has a Magical Item on it?"

Gao Xian thought of the silver ring that the evil spirit wore around its neck. He had felt a faint flow of Magic power from it, but he didn't expect it to be a Magical Item.

It was truly eye-opening to see an evil spirit that could control a Magical Item.

He asked, "Do you know this evil spirit?"

Fan Lingzhen nodded, "Strictly speaking, she is my senior uncle, named Bai Jie. She died due to Qi Deviation while practicing the Black Sun Tathagata visualization. As a result, she turned into an evil spirit..."

Gao Xian fell silent and said, "The secret technique of your White Lotus Sect is truly amazing."

"Practicing the secret technique of Qi Deviation is normal."

Fan Ling really disagreed and said, "Even if it is the authentic Qingyun Thirty-Six Volumes passed down from the Xuanmen Sect, there will still be cultivators with Qi Deviation."

When it came to sect cultivation matters like this, although Fan Ling didn't want to provoke Gao Xian, she had to argue a few words.

"What kind of Magical Item does Bai Jie have?" Gao Xian asked.

Fan Ling had already considered this and knew that Gao Xian would definitely ask. She straightforwardly said, "It's our sect's White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring. This ring can lock the heart and stabilize the mind, preventing it from being invaded by external demons."

"Gao Xian's senior sister having this item in her possession and still falling into demonic cultivation is really strange."

Gao Xian suddenly understood. No wonder the demonic aura was so hidden. The White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring must have the marvelous function of sealing the aura.

Fan Ling said that she could find the demonic aura because she had a secret technique that could sense the White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring.

She didn't go herself because she couldn't defeat the demonic aura.

Gao Xian was a little puzzled. Fan Ling didn't know his true abilities, so why did she insist on cooperating with him?

He asked, "How do you know that I can definitely kill the demonic aura?"

Fan Ling looked at Gao Xian with a strange expression and said, "Because you have the Heavenly Pivot Thunderous Demon-Slaying Golden Whip in your hand. This Rank Three High Grade Magic Treasure specializes in dealing with demonic spirits and monsters."

"Hmm?" Gao Xian was somewhat confused. After all, this thing was the treasure of the Xuanzhen Sect. He had never shown it off in public after obtaining it, so how did Fan Ling know?

Fan Ling's expression became even stranger. "This news has already spread."

She added, "I heard that the Xuanzhen Sect plans to retrieve this treasure from you, so we should hurry."

Gao Xian suddenly understood. This news must have been spread by Shui Yuying.

This woman hated him and spread the news to attract the attention of the Xuanzhen Sect.

He was a little embarrassed. If he had to say, this thing did belong to the Xuanzhen Sect. But since it was snatched away by Yin Jiushi, the ownership had changed.

That's how it was in the world of cultivators. Talking about family heirlooms and such was useless. The truth was that if you had the ability to hold onto it, then it was yours. If you couldn't hold onto it, then it wasn't yours.

The Demon-Slaying Golden Whip was really useful, and its power increased several times when combined with the Thunderous Lightning Method.

Moreover, he liked being a beautiful young man with a golden whip!

If the golden whip was gone, then the beauty of being a young man would lose its meaning.

Gao Xian decided not to think too much about it and would deal with it when the time came. Anyway, it was useful to him now, so he definitely couldn't return it.

He looked at Fan Ling and said, "Fellow daoist, let's settle the accounts between us brothers. You're only responsible for finding the demonic aura, so take the White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring. Don't you think this distribution is a bit unfair?"

Fan Ling glanced at Gao Xian with a smile that wasn't a smile, her eyes filled with a bit of teasing and charm.

She whispered, "Indeed, it is a bit unfair. How about this, I'll accompany fellow daoist in dual cultivation for a few days as compensation."

Before Gao Xian could speak, Fan Ling said meaningfully, "Our sect's method of opening the White Lotus flower can directly reach the Immortal Realm. I will definitely not let fellow daoist down..."

Gao Xian solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me this marvelous technique!"
