Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 36: Calculations

As a decent person, as a civilized individual who has received nine years of compulsory education, as a modern person accustomed to order, and as a middle-aged otaku who used to be overweight, Gao Xian did not like to solve problems with violence.

After becoming Gao Xian, he slowly got used to cultivation and alchemy, used to living in a thatched house with a wooden bed, used to the mess and stench on the floor, and used to evil spirits running around with half a head.

However, he was still not accustomed to killing.

Last time, Zhu Qiniang jokingly mentioned helping him kill Zhu Hong'an, but he took it as a joke.

But this time, when the old topic was brought up again, Gao Xian couldn't treat it as a joke anymore, nor could he take it lightly.

If Zhu Hong'an caught him, he would be in big trouble. However, Zhu Hong'an hadn't made any moves yet, and he was already resorting to killing. He couldn't get past this in his heart!

Gao Xian looked up and glanced at Zhu Qiniang. Zhu Qiniang's expression was calm, but her emerald green eyes carried a hint of coldness and determination.

He couldn't quite understand Zhu Qiniang. He didn't know if she was doing this for his own good or if she had deep resentment towards Zhu Hong'an and wanted to take revenge.

Gao Xian asked, "Qiniang, Zhu Hong'an is not alone. He is part of a family, and there are elders from the Lianyun Sect supporting him. If we kill Zhu Hong'an, how do we explain it to the Zhu family and that elder?"

Zhu Qiniang had already planned for this. She said, "Zhu Hong'an often goes to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. We can find an opportunity to deal with him in the mountains without anyone knowing. No one will know it was us."

Gao Xian felt that Zhu Qiniang's plan was too crude. If Zhu Hong'an suddenly went missing, the Zhu family would definitely investigate the culprit.

Could he and Zhu Qiniang really escape the investigation?

However, Zhu Qiniang was determined. When it came to murdering Zhu Hong'an, she had no hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Qiniang, this is not a small matter. Once the truth is revealed, the Lianyun Sect will never let us go. I need to think carefully..."

Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian with a complex gaze. She hesitated to speak, but in the end, she sighed softly, "If you hesitate and can't make a decision, you will regret it."

She was somewhat disappointed in Gao Xian and had no mood to give him a massage. She turned and left immediately.

Gao Xian watched Zhu Qiniang's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh.

He understood many principles, had read many historical stories, and had some life experiences.

The experiences of successful people may not be suitable for you. Their stories are just stories.

Just like Ban Chao assassinating the enemy's envoy at night, if he succeeded, it would be seen as decisive and courageous. If he failed, it would be seen as impulsive and reckless.

Han Xin suffered humiliation under someone's crotch. If he succeeded later on, it would be seen as having great ambitions and being flexible. If he didn't achieve success later on, such behavior would be seen as cowardly and useless.

Those who came later could come up with ten thousand reasons based on the results. As the person involved, it was difficult to make accurate judgments about the future.

Based on his experience, each specific situation requires a specific analysis. There is no universal truth that applies to all situations.

Gao Xian couldn't reach an agreement with Zhu Qiniang and had no mood for cultivation or alchemy. He returned to his bedroom, closed the doors and windows, and lay on the bed for a long time, but couldn't come up with a solution to the problem.

He took out the Book of Wind and Moon, which had accumulated 3,992 points of human Dao Lingguang.

With the large number of Tianbi Pills sold by Huang Ying, Gao Xian discovered that Tianbi Pills could also increase human Dao Lingguang.

In just over three months, with the help of Tianbi Pills and Lu Jiao San, he had accumulated nearly 4,000 points of human Dao Lingguang.

Originally, Gao Xian wanted to upgrade the Electric Light Dragon Hand, but seeing that his human Dao Lingguang was accumulating so quickly, he changed his mind.

Although the Electric Light Dragon Hand was good, it was far inferior to the Great Doppelganger Divine Art.

If he could upgrade the Great Doppelganger Divine Art to the Grandmaster level, he would gain tremendous improvements in all aspects.

Moreover, he was in a good state now and didn't have any troubles to deal with. So he had been saving up his human Dao Lingguang.

But today, the situation had changed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Gao Xian couldn't bear to look at those human Dao Lingguang points. Just a little over a month more of accumulation, and he would have reached 5,000 points!

Gao Xian's gaze shifted to the True Yang Spear. Old Wang had come back to life and become even more powerful. The True Yang Spear needed to be upgraded.

After more than two months of uninterrupted practice, the True Yang Spear is only four hundred and thirty-one points away from reaching the Grandmaster level.

With the addition of the Human Dao Spiritual Light, in the blink of an eye, the True Yang Spear has reached the Grandmaster level.

Lan Jie emerges from the depths of the mirror. Her hands are still, her mouth is closed, and a flash of golden light in her eyes has already triggered a golden spear.

Gao Xian feels a warmth in his brow, and various techniques of using the True Yang Spear flow into his deep consciousness like a tide. He feels his divine consciousness continuously expanding and growing.

When his divine consciousness reaches a certain limit, it suddenly bursts open, and a ball of golden light rises from the darkness...

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Xian finally opens his eyes, only to find that it is already dark outside.

It took at least half an hour for the True Yang Spear to reach the Grandmaster level this time.

The window in the bedroom is very small, made of rough and solid wood in a grid pattern, which prevents people from entering through the window.

The thick mulberry paper on the window further blocks most of the daylight.

The room is very dim now, but Gao Xian can still see the delicate texture of the wood on the grid.

The dim lighting environment can no longer block his line of sight.

This feeling is very strange.

It's like watching a black and white movie, where everything turns into black and gray, but it doesn't cover up the various details.

Gao Xian can clearly distinguish the positions of the insects and frogs making noise outside the closed bedroom.

Even in the closed bedroom, he can sense the slight airflow.

Undoubtedly, reaching the Grandmaster level with the True Yang Spear has enhanced his divine consciousness, thereby improving his sixth sense and even his thinking and reaction speed.

Unfortunately, the Fengyue Treasure Mirror does not show any changes in this aspect.

Gao Xian opens the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, and the first thing he sees is that his data panel has changed.

His lifespan has increased from 68 to 72 years.

He is greatly surprised because the most important purpose of cultivation is longevity.

Living longer is also an instinct deep in the genes of every living being.

The Grandmaster level of the True Yang Spear has increased his lifespan by four years. The annotation for the True Yang Spear has also changed.

True Yang Spear: Condenses divine consciousness with yang energy to forge an invisible spear, capable of refining the soul, breaking the divine soul, and exterminating evil spirits (1/2000 Grandmaster).

The Grandmaster level of the True Yang Spear clearly has greatly increased power.

With a single thought from Gao Xian, Lan Jie immediately responds, and the golden True Yang Spear has already condensed and is ready to be unleashed from his brow.

At this level, he doesn't need to form seals or chant incantations. Lan Jie's response speed has also become faster, truly achieving instant release of the True Yang Spear.

Although Gao Xian hasn't tried it, he is confident that he can now perform a three consecutive thrusts with the True Yang Spear.

If Lao Wang dares to show up again, he can send him flying with a three consecutive attack.

While operating the True Yang Spear, Gao Xian also feels a faint black aura clinging to his body.

Without anyone saying anything, Gao Xian immediately understands that this is the evil aura left by Lao Wang on him.

With this faint evil aura as a connection, Lao Wang can find him.

Because the True Yang Spear is becoming stronger and stronger, this trace of evil aura has become very faint.

As long as he stimulates the True Yang Spear, he can definitely completely remove this trace of evil aura.

Just as Gao Xian is about to take action, a sudden thought arises in his mind.

He puts away the True Yang Spear, no longer in a hurry to deal with this trace of evil aura. Perhaps it still has its uses!

Reaching the Grandmaster level with the True Yang Spear has also given Gao Xian a bit more confidence, making him more composed in his actions...
