Great Immortal With Boundless Mana
Chapter 305: The Reputation Will Never Fade Away
Chapter 305: Unyielding Reputation
"Master Gao, there is a cultivator in the lower city of Liuhe City who is selling Seventh Grade Five-color Lotus flowers..." Wei Cheng respectfully stood ten steps away, relaying all the information he knew. "That person seems very anxious. I'm afraid if the news leaks out, it will attract others, or that person might run away. That's why I urgently asked Fellow Daoist Zhou to invite Master Gao down the mountain."
Gao Xian pondered for a moment. "Seventh Grade Five-color Lotus flowers, it's quite a coincidence."
What's even more coincidental is that it's in the lower city of Liuhe City, a place he has been to before. It's neither far nor near to Azure Cloud City.
There are quite a few Devil Cultivators and Monster Race members in Liuhe City. Sect Leader Lu Bingyang and the Yin Demon Sect must have some secret connections.
Going to such a place, Gao Xian doesn't feel safe.
Last time, he dared to wait for Shui Yuying at the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven because he had the initiative.
Shui Yuying was already very cautious, bringing along a Ye Huanyuan.
Even so, everything was within his plan, making it very easy to deal with.
If someone set up this scheme with the Five-color Lotus flower, they must have made a meticulous plan and wouldn't let him escape easily.
The Water Clan or the Yin Demon Sect could both be the masterminds behind it. He wouldn't be able to withstand the power of either side.
Gao Xian isn't suffering from persecution delusions, thinking that everyone in the world wants to harm him.
Yin Jiushi, Yin Baishi, Shui Yuying, and Ye Huanyuan, these several Gold Core Perfected Beings all died by his hand.
The Devil Cultivators of the Yin Demon Sect may not value righteousness, but they care a lot about face.
Having killed two Gold Core Perfected Beings, they most likely want revenge.
As for the Water Clan, regardless of whether it's for their own interests or emotions, they are eager to kill him.
No matter how Gao Xian looks at it, something is wrong with this situation.
Seeing Gao Xian deep in thought, Wei Cheng also guessed that he might have some concerns.
In the past half year, he used Gao Xian's name to solve several troubles, and his business has been smooth.
But he also knows that he and Gao Xian don't have any substantial interests tied together. When Wei Shuangshuang came back so quickly, he knew that things didn't work out without her saying anything.
To thrive in Azure Cloud City, one must attach themselves to a powerful backer.
Wei Cheng actually wants to join the Water Clan, but the problem is that the Water Clan doesn't think highly of him.
If he mixes with Gao Xian, it's even less likely for him to join the Water Clan.
Now, there is only one path left, tightly clinging to Gao Xian's backer. If Gao Xian encounters a difficult situation, it will be his chance to show his worth.
Thinking this, Wei Cheng said in a deep voice, "Master Gao, I will go to Liuhe City and bring back the Seventh Grade Five-color Lotus flower."
Beside him, Wei Shuangshuang's face showed a hint of anxiety. She hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to speak.
Gao Xian's gaze fell on Wei Cheng. This tall and strong Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator looked steady and reliable, very capable.
Wei Cheng worked so hard to gain his trust and seek more benefits.
Just like how he was willing to offer Wei Shuangshuang, this man had a strong obsession with climbing up.
There is nothing inherently right or wrong about this. If you want to climb up, you always have to pay a price. Unless you have cheats.
Gao Xian had a premonition that sending Wei Cheng over would most likely result in him not returning.
From the perspective of interests, it was a wise move for Wei Cheng to go and test the situation.
If this matter turned out to be true, he could bring back the Seventh Grade Five-Colored Lotus Flower and solve his big problem.
If someone had set up a trap, at most Wei Cheng would die. It wouldn't be considered a big loss for him.
In the end, Gao Xian couldn't bring himself to do such a thing and said, "The appearance of the Seventh Grade Five-Colored Lotus Flower is too coincidental. Don't go there yourself, first contact the middleman to clarify the situation..."
Wei Cheng was somewhat disappointed, while Wei Shuangshuang visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether it was targeted at Gao Xian or not, the Seventh Grade Five-Colored Lotus Flower itself was worth several million Spirit Stones.
Such an important spiritual object was inherently dangerous. Wei Cheng had a high cultivation base, but going to Liuhe City alone was too dangerous.
Old man Zhou Ye stood by, wanting to speak but ultimately remained silent.
Gao Xian knew that several people were capable, but not capable enough to be of great use. He politely asked Zhou Ye to send Wei Cheng and Wei Shuangshuang away, then he began to contemplate in his room.
There was a formation protecting Liuhe City. If there was a problem with Lu Bingyang, even if he had clones and the Taiji Xuan Guang Invisible Heavenly Robe, it would be difficult to break through such a high-ranking formation.
Or he could invite Yun Qingxuan to accompany him. With this third-rank expert as a bodyguard, even if the situation was not good, he would always be able to escape.
The problem was that Yun Qingxuan's fee for taking action was five thousand High Grade Spirit Stones. He had a good relationship with Yun Qingxuan, but it wasn't worth that much money.
Of course, the situation when Yun Qingxuan last took action was completely different. The money was for her, but she represented the Azure Cloud Sect, which had a completely different meaning.
Yun Qingxuan had both broken through the enemy's formation and killed a Gold Core cultivator, as well as severely injured the Seven Killings Sect Leader Mu Zhengfeng. She had displayed formidable power, which Gao Xian now found terrifying to think about.
Formations could enhance one's own cultivators and suppress enemy cultivators. This constant exchange of power gave the side controlling the formation an exceptionally huge advantage.
Small and medium-sized sects could survive by relying on formations to unleash ten or even dozens of times their normal strength.
He actually had confidence in inviting Yun Qingxuan to take action, but he was unsure about the situation in Liuhe City.
To invite Yun Qingxuan to take action like this and owe a huge favor without knowing what he would gain in return was not worth it.
After thinking for a long time, Gao Xian gave up on the idea of taking risks.
He still had plenty of time and the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror to enhance his secret techniques. He was far from reaching a bottleneck. At this time, stable development was the way to go.
Gao Xian stayed in Azure Cloud City for a few days, but there was still no definite news from Liuhe City.
He decided to let Wei Cheng release the news, saying that the Seventh Grade Five-Colored Lotus Flower was in someone's hands in Liuhu City.
The enticing news immediately caused a commotion in Liuhu City.
After more than ten days of turmoil, there was still no accurate information about the Seventh Grade Five-Colored Lotus Flower.
Gao Xian knew that there was something fishy going on and lost interest in paying attention to it. He went straight back to Xuandu Peak.
Life in the mountains was peaceful and leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Gao Xian went to visit Yun Changfeng in advance to pay his New Year's respects and present him with a generous gift.
Yun Changfeng was very polite and invited Gao Xian to have lunch, showing a slightly warmer attitude towards him.
Gao Xian also went to see Yun Qingxuan, but he was in closed-door training and Gao Xian didn't see him. He could only hand the gift to the butler, Li Ming.
Back at Xuandu Peak, Gao Xian once again celebrated the New Year's Eve with Da Niu.
On the first day of the new year, the true disciples of Shenxiao Hall gathered together to worship Xuanming Heavenly Venerable.
Gao Xian also saw Shui Yujun. This time, Shui Yujun had a smile on his face and was quite friendly towards him.
He said that the past should be left in the past and not be worried about.
Gao Xian naturally agreed and chatted with Shui Yujun for a while, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this account would not be easily settled. But polite words still needed to be said.
After all, they were both true disciples of Shenxiao Hall and couldn't lose face.
The other true disciples of Shenxiao Hall who were watching understood this as well. They admired Gao Xian's thick-skinned face as they watched him chat and laugh with Shui Yujun.
With the arrival of the new year, it quickly became March. The mountains were covered in green leaves and blooming flowers, but only Xuandu Peak was filled with withered peach blossoms.
After waiting for more than a year, Gao Xian finally accumulated eight million Human Dao Spiritual Light.
He poured a large amount of Human Dao Spiritual Light into the Great Vajra Pestle, immediately advancing from the Expert Realm to the Master Realm.
Any secret technique or secret art would have a qualitative improvement when reaching the Master Realm.
The Great Vajra Pestle was no exception.
The Great Vajra Pestle, like a towering golden tower, descended upon Gao Xian's sea of consciousness. The deep sea-like sea of consciousness trembled violently, as if it had been completely pierced through by the Great Vajra Pestle in an instant.
The divine soul hidden deep in the sea of consciousness seemed to be smashed to pieces by the descending Vajra Pestle.
Gao Xian's consciousness instantly went blank, feeling as if the heavens and earth were collapsing...
In the midst of confusion, Gao Xian saw the tremendous changes in his sea of consciousness through Lan Jie.
The Great Vajra Pestle emitted a brilliant golden light, illuminating the dark and deep sea of consciousness.
The golden light radiated from the inside out, spreading throughout his body.
The brilliant golden light dissipated slowly, as if it had washed and refined the soul and body countless times.
The originally dark and profound sea of consciousness had turned golden, and the manifested soul was as clear as golden glass both inside and out.
The manifestation of the soul was actually just a projection of his consciousness, and the true original soul was something Gao Xian could not currently reach.
The changes in the projection of consciousness also revealed the changes in the original soul.
As the Great Vajra Staff ascended to the Grandmaster Realm, it purified the darkness and illuminated both inside and out, further integrating his body and soul, thus giving birth to various incredible powers.
When Gao Xian opened the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, he saw that the annotation for the Great Vajra Staff had changed.
Great Vajra Staff: Condense the power of the indestructible Vajra with the true nature, acquired wisdom, and strength. Internally eliminate all demons, externally break all illusions, with immeasurable supernatural power, and a name that does not retreat. (1645/16000000 Grandmaster)
Recently, Gao Xian had also read some Buddhist scriptures and learned about the classification of realms in Buddhist cultivation.
According to Buddhist teachings, his current realm was called "not retreating."
The so-called "body and mind synthesis, constantly growing, with a name that does not retreat."
It means that the body and mind are united, and the cultivation base can continuously advance, even if attacked by external forces, it will not decline.
In other words, even if seriously injured, it will not affect the cultivation base, let alone be invaded by external demons.
This point is similar to the blessing effect of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, but this statement is definitely exaggerated. It only indicates that the cultivation of the Great Vajra Staff has achieved success and is difficult to be invaded by external forces and demons.
Even if the Great Vajra Staff is cultivated to the peak realm, it still cannot compare to the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror.
Gao Xian looked at the lifespan column again and found that one hundred and sixty years had been deducted, leaving him with four hundred and eighty years.
This upgrade of the Great Vajra Staff doubled his strength and balanced his Divine Sense and body.
After more than a month of adaptation and adjustment, Gao Xian finally truly mastered his new power.
At this point, he had reached a high level in terms of Divine Sense, body, and other aspects, enough to compare with cultivators like Lu Bingyang and Li Chengfeng in the late Gold Core stage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Xian took another Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit. This increased his lifespan by fifty years, raising it to 530 years.
Calculating his physical age, he was already forty years old. According to the proportion of lifespan, he had only passed one thirteenth of his life.
No matter how you calculate it, he claimed to be a youth without any problems.
In mid-April, Gao Xian quietly left Azure Cloud Sect. He used a transformation technique to change his appearance into that of an ordinary middle-aged cultivator and boarded a flying ship bound for Xuanzhen Sect...
Xuanzhen Sect was conveniently located near Moon Wheel Sect for transit.
The purpose of Gao Xian's trip was the auction of Moon Wheel Sect. He didn't look for Jin Dabao mainly because he didn't trust him.
The auction had been scheduled years ago and was unlikely to be targeting him. With the brilliance of his transformation technique, as long as he didn't show off, he would be fine.
This was the first time Gao Xian had left the territory of Azure Cloud Sect, and he felt quite excited, as if he was going on a trip...
