Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 303: Azure Dragon

Gao Xian is currently 640 years old, which he is quite satisfied with. He invested several hundred years of lifespan into cultivating the Vajra Staff, and now he still has over 600 years of lifespan left. It's really not easy.

Speaking of which, the Vajra Staff has also rewarded him generously. The significant improvement in his physical body and magic power allowed him to withstand the attacks of a third-rank Gold Core cultivator. The person he killed in the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven should be a high-level expert in the middle stage of the Gold Core realm, specializing in body refining. Very formidable.

Because of this, he had to use his clone to withstand the opponent's attack before finding an opportunity to kill him. It was also thanks to the sharpness of the Azure Lotus Sword that he was able to break through the opponent's formidable spirit body with just one strike. Although the Azure Lotus Sword couldn't unleash the hidden power of the East Extreme Green Rainbow Sword, it should itself be at the level of a Rank Three High Grade Spiritual Weapon. Within Rank Three, there is almost nothing it can't cut through.

Gao Xian dares to wait for Shui Yuying because he has confidence in the Azure Lotus Sword and the Vajra Staff. Even if the situation is not good, it won't be too difficult to kill his way out with the Azure Lotus Sword.

The battle in the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven also brought him rich rewards. It even attracted Shui Yujun and he obtained three Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits.

Gao Xian thought about it and decided not to eat the remaining two Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits for now. The Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits not only increase lifespan but also have the effect of strengthening the body. This requires time to digest.

Yun Changfeng also advised against continuously taking the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits. There should be a gap of at least three to six months between each consumption in order to fully absorb the spiritual effects of the fruits and avoid wasting them. Continuous consumption of three Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits will definitely result in a continuous decline in their effectiveness.

Gao Xian also had another idea, which is to upgrade the Vajra Staff first, consume 160 years of lifespan, and then take the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits. This way, he can maximize the effectiveness of the fruits.

This is the case with any spirit medicine. Cultivators who take spirit medicine will inevitably develop resistance to it. Otherwise, as long as wealthy cultivators keep taking Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits or similar spiritual items, they could achieve immortality.

The actual situation is obviously not like that. According to records, the longest-living Gold Core Perfected Being, who claimed to have taken a Rank Seven Nine Cycles Great Rejuvenation Pill, lived to be 1,400 years old. This lifespan is close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but only close. A Nascent Soul True Monarch starts with a lifespan of 1,500 years and gains an additional 500 years for each Wind Tribulation they pass.

Normally, a Nascent Soul True Monarch can live for three thousand years as long as they can pass three Wind Tribulations.

It can be seen that external objects ultimately have limits. If one wants to live longer, they still need to cultivate themselves. When they reach a higher realm, they will naturally have a longer lifespan.

Gao Xian put away the two Thousand Year Vermilion Fruits. With his current speed of accumulating Human Dao Spiritual Light, he can accumulate eight million Human Dao Spiritual Light in about a year and a half. For someone with a lifespan of six hundred years, one or two years is nothing at all.

Taking advantage of his free time, Gao Xian buried himself in writing a few episodes of "The Legend of the White Snake" and also wrote a book called "Journey to the West."

It tells the story of a naturally talented person with an ugly appearance like a monkey, wielding an iron rod to sweep through many female demons.

The serialization of "The Legend of the White Snake" has been very successful based on the feedback from the Human Dao Spiritual Light. Many cultivators like this kind of fantasy story, especially stories about conquering various female Devil Cultivators and female Monster Race cultivators.

Gao Xian is a bit worried that some idiots might take his books seriously and think too much when facing beautiful Monster Race or Devil Cultivators.

But then he thought, such idiots don't deserve to live. If they die, they die!

Writing novels is much easier than pill refining. Anyway, there are story templates, just make some changes based on them.

Because there are many illustrations, it's even easier. With Gao Xian's rich experience, he can extract some images from his memory and use them.

The greatest advantage of novels is that they can be read repeatedly and can also spread spontaneously to the outside world.

In comparison, Medicine Pill is too inefficient.

Gao Xian gave up refining Deer Horn Powder and Tian Gui Pill because these two low-level Medicine Pills require a lot of refining, which takes up a lot of his time and energy.

As a result, he has almost no free time every day except for cultivation and pill refining.

As a true disciple of Shenxiao Sect, with 900 High Grade Spirit Stones, even if he doesn't go out to eat, drink, and have fun every day, there is no need to work so hard.

In addition, Da Niu has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Pill refining day and night is also greatly detrimental to his cultivation.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Xian decided to give up pill refining for now.

For this reason, he specifically sent a letter to Qi Niang, briefly explaining the current situation.

Qi Niang is in charge of Changsheng Hall and has integrated the various medicine halls of Lianyun Sect. Now she dominates the Medicine Pill market and has the power to set prices.

In this way, she can make money even faster than robbing. She doesn't care much about the money from Deer Horn Powder and Tian Gui Pill.

On the other hand, Qi Niang took Rank Three Qingjin Fruit and was stimulated by him, so most of her energy was devoted to cultivation. She didn't care much about these things either.

Gao Xian spent two days writing novels, and his days became leisurely. Besides his daily studies, he would read books and drink tea, and stroll around Xuan Du Peak.

Occasionally, if he felt like it, he would also ride the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel to explore the surrounding areas.

In the middle of winter, the mountains were covered in snow, but there wasn't much to see. Moreover, there were Gold Core Perfected Beings living on some of the peaks, with formations protecting them, and they didn't welcome visitors.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Xian went to teach at Sword Hall as usual.

As usual, Sword Hall was packed. The difference was that the cultivators listening to the class seemed somewhat restrained, with a hint of awe in their eyes when they looked at him.

Although many cultivators respected him before, they couldn't be said to have awe.

First of all, he was too young and only a guest scripture teacher. Moreover, he was polite and gentle to everyone, and everyone thought he had a good temper, so there was no awe.

It was strange that one or two people were like this, but when all the cultivators were like this, it was a bit strange.

Gao Xian didn't see Li Fei Huang, but Lu Mengmeng came.

Lu Mengmeng was also similar to the others, with a somewhat awe-filled look in her eyes, less intimacy than before.

After finishing the class, Lu Mengmeng didn't come to say hello.

Gao Xian was a little curious, so he called Lu Mengmeng over.

"What's going on with all of you, looking at me with that expression like you're seeing something evil?" Gao Xian casually joked, but Lu Mengmeng didn't dare to laugh, nor did she dare not to laugh, and forced out a smile.

"Wow, someone must have been talking bad about me behind my back, right?"

Gao Xian understood what was going on. Someone must have spread rumors about him again, scaring the little girl.

Actually, Lu Mengmeng was not that young anymore. She was almost twenty years old. Her big blinking eyes were quite endearing.

She's also a grown-up!

Gao Xian didn't know why this thought came to mind. He felt that he might have too much energy, which was also a side effect of having strong vitality.

He casually asked, "Is it still a secret between us?"

"No, no."

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Mengmeng gathered her courage and said, "Master Gao, now everyone outside is saying that you killed Shui Yu Ying, the head of the Water Jade Sect, and forced Shui Yu Jun Dao to apologize and admit his mistake..."

Lu Yuyu is a bit naive, but she is not stupid. She omitted the malicious parts of the rumors.

In fact, the rumors say that Gao Xian seduced Shui Yuying with his handsome face, used secret techniques to secretly attack her while sleeping, absorbed all of Shui Yuying's cultivation base, and then killed her.

Then he seduced Yun Qingxuan, and Shui Yujun wanted revenge but was forcefully suppressed by the Yun family, so she had to apologize and make amends to Gao Xian.

In these rumors, Gao Xian is extremely cunning and vicious, how can people not be afraid of him? It is even said that he has a natural Azure Dragon physique, and any woman who is touched by him will be completely infatuated and completely under his control.

The novels "The Legend of the White Snake" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" have further confirmed Gao Xian's identity as a master of romance.

Lu Yuyu is now particularly afraid. Is Gao Xian trying to drain her cultivation base?

But she also feels that it shouldn't be the case. Gao Xian is already at the Foundation Establishment late stage, so it would be useless for him to absorb her Qi Refining cultivation base!

Lu Yuyu couldn't help but sneak a glance at Gao Xian. Being so close to him, his unparalleled handsomeness made her feel suffocated. She didn't know how to describe it, but she felt that every part of this man was beautiful.

Especially those shining star-like eyes, they have a kind of enchanting charm.

She sighed in her heart, "No wonder Shui Yuying was drained. I'm afraid any female cultivator wouldn't be able to resist this temptation... As long as he doesn't drain me completely, I'm willing..."

Gao Xian noticed Lu Yuyu's flickering gaze, but he didn't know what she was thinking.

He waved his hand to dismiss the beautiful girl. Although she spoke vaguely, he could guess roughly what she meant.

Gao Xian went to the Scripture Pavilion and found Lu Jingxu, telling him about this matter.

Lu Jingxu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He repeated these rumors to Gao Xian and said, "Actually, it's not bad. This has made you famous, and everyone in the sect respects and fears you."

"Even those Gold Core Perfected Beings wouldn't dare to underestimate you!"

Gao Xian smiled and said, "It's fine if the lower-level disciples don't know, but how could those Gold Core cultivators not know the truth?"

Lu Jingxu fell silent and shook his head slightly. "Many people think that you killed Shui Yuying."

"They are overestimating me."

Gao Xian saw that Lu Jingxu's expression was somewhat serious, so he casually asked, "Senior Brother, you don't really believe that, do you?"

Lu Jingxu's expression became complicated as he said, "At first, I defended you, but later... I seemed to be convinced by them..."

"They are jealous of me. Who can lie in front of Heavenly Venerable Xuanming?"

Gao Xian didn't really care about this, but he still wanted to defend himself.

Lu Jingxu comforted Gao Xian, "These rumors are actually good. They can reduce a lot of trouble for you."

"Everyone hates bad people, but at the same time, everyone is afraid of them..."

"You old man, if I had known, I would have kept that beauty from Joyous Union Sect for myself..."

Gao Xian pulled Lu Jingxu and said, "No, today you have to treat me to flower wine!"

Gao Xian and Lu Jingxu had a great time at Changle Tower, and the next day they went to Wanbao Tower to find Jin Dabao.

"Master Gao is here."

Jin Dabao's fat face was full of smiles. His attitude towards Gao Xian was slightly less familiar and slightly more respectful and polite.

It was only because Gao Xian's sixth sense was sharp that he could perceive the subtle changes in Jin Dabao's emotions.

This Fatty should have also heard the rumors.

Gao Xian didn't want to explain these things, nor was it necessary. He and Jin Dabao didn't need to be so close. It was more advantageous for them to maintain respect for each other and cooperate.

"Jin Ge, I have two things here. Can you help me estimate their value?"

Ye Huanyuan's iron staff and heart-protecting mirror are both good, especially the heart-protecting mirror. It should be a Rank Three Magic Treasure.

Gao Xian originally wanted to keep the heart-protecting mirror for Qi Niang, but this thing is a Magic Treasure of the Earth element, while Qi Niang is of the Gold and Wood elements, which is quite a mismatch. Even if she reluctantly uses it, the effect won't be good.

So he decided to sell both items. He actually needs money right now.

For the Golden Core cultivation of the Great Five Elements technique, he needs to prepare a special Five-Element spiritual object called the Five-Color Lotus flower. Generally speaking, the Five-Color Lotus flower is divided into nine grades. However, unlike the Golden Core, the lowest grade for the Five-Color Lotus flower is the first rank, and the highest is the Ninth Grade.

In fact, there is a matching problem. If the foundation of the cultivator is not strong enough, a higher-grade spiritual object will have a negative effect on the cultivator.

For ordinary cultivators with a Golden Core, a third-rank Five-Color Lotus flower is sufficient. Such a flower can be bought for a few hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones.

If one doesn't even have a few hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, what's the point of cultivating?

Gao Xian felt that in his current state, he definitely needed a higher-grade Five-Color Lotus flower.

If he could find the legendary Innate second-rank Five-Color Lotus flower, that would be even better. He couldn't use it now, but he could use it when he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

This is obviously unlikely because spiritual objects with the word "Innate" are exceptionally precious.

With only nine hundred High Grade Spirit Stones in his hand, he doesn't even have the qualifications to look at Innate spiritual objects.

Jin Dabao took the two items, carefully examined them for a while, and then activated the magic power of the two magical items.

There are thousands of categories of magical items, and the restrictions used by magical items come in various schools, each with different techniques.

It's not easy to identify the grade of a magical item based on the number of restrictions.

After fiddling for a while, Jin Dabao finally said, "The iron staff and the heart-protecting mirror are both of the Earth element. The iron staff is a Rank Three High Grade Magical Item, and the heart-protecting mirror is a Rank Three Middle Grade Magic Treasure."

"Both items have good quality, and they can be sold for a total of five hundred High Grade Spirit Stones..."

Gao Xian nodded, and he was quite satisfied with this price.

Jin Dabao continued, "For Rank Three magical items and magic treasures like these, they can fetch a good price at the auction. If Master Gao is not in a hurry, you can consign them to me for sale. I will charge a one percent commission after the transaction is completed."

"Jin Ge, do you have any news about the Five-Color Lotus flower I asked you to find?"

"There is a sixth-rank Five-Color Lotus flower available, and it can be obtained for two million Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Jin Dabao still cared about Gao Xian's affairs. After all, it was the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect, and they were also business partners. He made quite a few Spirit Stones from Gao Xian's novels.

"Is there anything better?" Gao Xian asked.

Jin Dabao pondered for a moment and said, "There is a seventh-grade Five-Color Lotus flower in the Wanbao Tower of the Moon Wheel Sect. They don't sell it directly; they keep it for the auction that takes place once every three years..."

"Moon Wheel Sect..."

Of course, Gao Xian knew about this sect. The Azure Cloud Sect is neighbored by the Wanling Sect on the left and the Moon Wheel Sect on the right. It is said that the Moon Wheel Sect has close ties with the Eastern Wasteland.

Officially, the Moon Wheel Sect belongs to Wanfeng County, but in reality, it is already considered half of an Eastern Wasteland Sect.

The relationship between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Moon Wheel Sect is very poor. With his Shenxiao inheritance, it would attract countless hatred from the Moon Wheel Sect.

Jin Dabao said, "The auction will be held in May next year. If Master Gao wants to go, I can help you make arrangements..."
