Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 69: Choice

A second-stage demonic beast is equivalent to a Foundation Building cultivator.

In theory, the True Yang Spear should be chosen. However, even a Grandmaster-level True Yang Spear doesn't have much killing power against Yao Qingshuang.

Even if the True Yang Spear is upgraded to the maximum level of a Grandmaster, how effective can it be against a second-stage demonic beast?

The True Yang Spear can only attack the Iron Scale Tiger's divine soul. Its attack method and power have already limited the role of the True Yang Spear.

On the other hand, the Shadowless Robe can conceal one's figure, allowing for more proactive control and the ability to deal with more complex battles.

After weighing the options, Gao Xian ultimately chose the Shadowless Robe. With a thought, he consumed 1,917 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light, upgrading the Shadowless Robe to the maximum level of a Grandmaster.

Shadowless Robe: Condenses mana into a robe that covers the entire body, transforming into a shadowless state and possessing extremely strong defensive power. (2000/2000 Grandmaster)

Lan Jie appeared and demonstrated the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Robe.

Gao Xian immediately understood that the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Robe would be more stable and possess strong defensive capabilities.

Even if the shadowless state is broken, the Shadowless Robe will exist in a transparent water-like state, providing protection to the body until the mana dissipates or it is broken by external force.

The Shadowless Robe is more stable, making it less susceptible to interference and destruction from enemy spells. It is also less likely to be discovered by the outside world.

It is also easier to use, with instant activation with a thought, although it consumes a significantly larger amount of mana.

The time is too short to test the defensive strength of the Shadowless Robe. Gao Xian roughly estimates that it should be similar to the Qingyun Shield of the Qingyun Robe, or even stronger.

It should be noted that the Qingyun Robe is considered a top-tier first-stage robe, with a high price mainly due to its strong Qingyun Shield protection.

The Shadowless Robe is just a very low-level minor spell, and being able to reach this level is all thanks to Gao Xian's efforts in elevating the Shadowless Robe to the Grandmaster level.

In the vast world, there shouldn't be any cultivators who are so bored as to train the Shadowless Robe to this level.

Furthermore, Gao Xian's Shadowless Robe has been enhanced by the Fengyue Mirror, making it different from an ordinary Shadowless Robe.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Robe has so many wonderful uses.

Gao Xian once again activated the Shadowless Robe, and this time he could clearly feel a sense of toughness in the robe, without any suffocating feeling.

His various perceptions of the outside world, including the absorption of spiritual energy and the circulation of mana, were not restricted but rather enhanced to a certain extent.

Time was urgent, and Gao Xian didn't have time to study the specific changes in the Shadowless Robe.

Following the scent left by Qiuniang, he quickly caught up.

At this moment, Zhu Qiuniang was hiding behind a pile of firewood, panting and recovering her breath. She had used the Wind Control Technique to sprint at full speed, and even with her cultivation, she was a bit overwhelmed.

She didn't know where the Iron Scale Tiger was, but she could hear the various loud noises caused by the tiger's rampage, including the screams and cries of some cultivators, all indicating that the Iron Scale Tiger was rapidly approaching her direction.

Zhu Qiuniang quickly checked her body. She was certain that someone had left some kind of mark on her.

Otherwise, how could the Iron Scale Tiger keep chasing her?

If there was anything unusual today, it was that when she was leaving, she was bumped by a seven or eight-year-old child. The child even touched her boot.

At that time, there were a few children playing around, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, upon closer inspection, she could see small dark red stains on her Cloud Patterned Cowhide Boots, resembling blood stains or some kind of pigment.

However, Zhu Qiuniang didn't detect any special aura on the stains.

Zhu Qiuniang took off the boot and threw it far away.

Her Primordial Origin Golden Body Technique was very powerful, and her blood and energy were strong. Standing barefoot in the snow, she would hardly be affected by the cold in a short period of time.

If the boots could divert the Iron Scale Tiger's attention, she could find a place to hide quietly.

If it doesn't work, then it will be troublesome!

As Zhu Qiniang was thinking, she heard a loud bang ahead, followed by several cultivators screaming in horror.

She immediately knew something was wrong. The Ironscale Demon Tiger was still coming straight for her, but it seemed to have crashed through someone else's roof.

Zhu Qiniang didn't hesitate. She once again activated the Wind Control Talisman and flew over the wall, rushing into another courtyard.

There were many cultivators and houses in Feima Village, making it easier to hide and escape.

If she were to escape from Feima Village and be in the open mountain forest, she would definitely not be able to escape the Ironscale Demon Tiger's pursuit.

As for the lives of other cultivators, Zhu Qiniang couldn't care about that right now.

This was the peripheral area of Feima Village, where most of the cultivators were low-level independent cultivators.

If she really wanted to shake off the Ironscale Demon Tiger, she would have to go to the center of Feima Village. There were more cultivators there, and their cultivation levels were higher. She just had to be careful not to lead it to Gao Xian's house.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiniang increased her speed. She didn't take the streets but instead climbed over walls and jumped over houses.

The Ironscale Demon Tiger usually stayed in the mountains and was very unfamiliar with houses. It didn't know what could bear weight and what couldn't.

Following Zhu Qiniang's scent, it would break walls and collapse houses, often colliding head-on with cultivators hiding in the rooms, leaving a mess behind.

However, the Ironscale Demon Tiger was very clever. After suffering two losses, it learned its lesson and would choose solid-looking places to land when leaping.

As a result, the Ironscale Demon Tiger's speed greatly increased.

Zhu Qiniang, who was racing ahead, could hear the sound of the Ironscale Demon Tiger leaping through the air behind her.

Zhu Qiniang felt a bit desperate. With the Ironscale Demon Tiger's speed, she couldn't possibly outrun it.

She turned her head and threw out two Flame Bomb Talismans. One turned into a fireball that exploded on a pile of firewood, and the other exploded on a wooden warehouse.

The firewood exploded, and many debris burned and shot into the air like fireworks. The wooden warehouse was completely destroyed, and various items inside flew everywhere.

The sudden burst of flames instinctively made the Ironscale Demon Tiger slow down.

It knew that these flames posed little threat to it, but out of the instinct of a demonic beast, it still avoided the flames.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Qiniang took out a Swift Talisman and slapped it on herself. The talisman turned into a green light that enveloped her whole body, making her feel slightly tightened, as if she was tightly wrapped in an invisible force.

This intense sense of being wrapped up made her muscles tense, her blood flow faster, and her mana circulation speed increase significantly.

The Swift Talisman was a first-grade high-quality wood-element talisman. After using it, the wood-element spiritual energy would penetrate into the cultivator's muscles and organs, allowing them to unleash their greatest potential.

Because of its rarity and high price, most cultivators couldn't afford it. Even Zhu Qiniang only had two Swift Talismans for emergencies.

Using the Swift Talisman would enhance her speed in all aspects, but this violent burst would also cause certain damage to her body.

At this critical moment, Zhu Qiniang couldn't care about that. She could only have a way out if she could shake off the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

Zhu Qiniang activated the Swift Talisman and fled far away. The sudden burst of speed created some distance between her and the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

However, this small distance was far from enough to shake off the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

Zhu Qiniang knew it was not good, but at this moment, she had no other choice but to run with all her might.

Just as she jumped over a courtyard wall, she suddenly heard someone calling her from ahead, "Qiniang, come here, under this big tree."

"It's Gao Xian!" Zhu Qiniang immediately recognized Gao Xian's voice, but she couldn't see where Gao Xian was.

She knew that Gao Xian had the Shadowless Cloak, which could conceal his presence. She didn't find it strange.

Gao Xian actually risked his life to come and help. Zhu Qiniang was very surprised, then moved, and then a little annoyed.

What could a Qi Refining third-level cultivator do, even if his sword was fast? He was just causing trouble!
