Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 72: Touched

Zhu Qiniang had a reserved personality, even somewhat gloomy. Although she was close to Gao Xian, she rarely showed her true emotions.

After beheading the Ironscale Demon Tiger with a single sword strike, resolving the life-threatening crisis, Zhu Qiniang was extremely excited and joyful.

Looking at Gao Xian again, she was filled with a sense of being moved.

At a critical moment, this man risked his life to help her! She had never imagined that there would be someone in the world who would treat her so well!

She remembered Gao Xian saying that no matter what happened, he would always be with her.

At that time, she found it somewhat amusing, thinking that such words were only meant to deceive little girls, and she wouldn't take them seriously.

Zhu Qiniang knew how cautious this man was, to the point of being timid.

She never expected that this man would sacrifice his life to fulfill his promise for her. It was precisely because of this that his actions became even more precious.

Facing Gao Xian's radiant smile, Zhu Qiniang felt her nose tingling for some reason. She reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth and returned a smile to Gao Xian.

Zhu Qiniang was a bit afraid to look at Gao Xian again. She felt like there was something in her eyes that wanted to overflow, which was quite embarrassing.

She quickly lowered her head and put the head of the Ironscale Demon Tiger into her storage bag, pulled out the Stone-Cutting Sword that was inserted in its neck, and then stored the huge body of the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

Fortunately, she had a storage bag specifically for storing medicinal materials, which was large enough to hold the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

During this time, Zhu Qiniang also adjusted her emotions.

Gao Xian walked over leisurely, picking up the Stone-Cutting Sword that was inserted aside first.

This sword was indeed of good quality. It actually withstood the attacks of the Flame Blast and Ice Arrow spells, with no obvious damage to the blade. Only the horn handle had melted away, needing to be reinstalled.

Sheathed the sword, Gao Xian looked at Zhu Qiniang again and found that she had already put away the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

Zhu Qiniang looked a bit disheveled, but her aura was very stable. He asked, "Qiniang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Zhu Qiniang said, "The battle just now was too intense. There might be people coming over. Let's leave this place quickly..."

The Ironscale Demon Tiger let out a earth-shattering roar, which could be heard throughout the Feima Village.

Normal cultivators would naturally stay far away from this demonic beast. But it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be some daredevils who were not afraid of death coming over to join in the fun and take advantage.

Both she and Gao Xian had just experienced a big battle and were exhausted, with no energy to deal with scheming cultivators.

Gao Xian also agreed with this. He had just exerted all his strength and consumed nearly half of his mana. In his current state, he didn't want to fight with anyone.

If it weren't for Qiniang being by his side, Gao Xian would have wanted to activate the Shadowless Robe and quietly hide.

Occasionally, there were still roars of demonic beasts coming from the distance, indicating that the other Foundation Building-level demonic beast had not been dealt with.

The entire Feima Village was pitch black, and at this time, no one dared to light a fire.

However, there was still one thing that needed to be resolved first.

Gao Xian had just used his Fragrance Detection Technique to detect an abnormal aura on Zhu Qiniang's body, which had a subtle connection with the Ironscale Demon Tiger.

But now that the Ironscale Demon Tiger was dead, the connection between the two was severed, and he couldn't find the abnormal aura on Zhu Qiniang's body anymore.

Gao Xian made up his mind and secretly added two hundred points of Daoist Spiritual Light to his Fragrance Detection Technique, raising it to the Grandmaster level.

Fragrance Detection Technique: Smell the aura, discern people and objects, and identify spells. (1/1000 Grandmaster)

After reaching the Grandmaster level, the Fragrance Detection Technique gained the ability to identify spells. According to Gao Xian's understanding, it should be able to identify some spells using the Fragrance Detection Technique.

With the enhancement of the Grandmaster-level Fragrance Detection Technique, Gao Xian immediately sensed a faint reddish mark on Qiniang's bare left foot.

He wasn't sure what this mark was, but he could vaguely sense a bloody aura and a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy on the mark.

This mark was probably the reason why the Ironscale Demon Tiger relentlessly pursued Qiniang.

Although the Ironscale Demon Tiger was dead, this mark might attract other demonic beasts.

Gao Xian didn't know how to break the mark. He tried to activate his True Yang Spear, and when the golden spear touched the reddish mark, the mark immediately dissipated.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, the problem was solved.

Zhu Qiniang clearly felt a lightness on her body, as if she had shed an invisible burden.

With the seal resolved, the two of them no longer dared to delay.

Zhu Qiniang was familiar with the environment of Feima Village, so she took Gao Xian on a detour and returned to his house via a small path.

Once they entered the courtyard, they saw Da Niu anxiously pacing around.

When Da Niu saw Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian return, he was extremely delighted. "Qijie, Ge, you're back!"

He had been very worried about Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian, and was also very afraid. Seeing the two of them return safely, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Zhu Qiniang didn't have the mood to comfort Da Niu. She said, "Go find a bucket and basin to collect the blood."

She explained to Gao Xian, "The blood of the Ironscale Demon Tiger is extremely precious and must be dealt with quickly.

"The Tiger Blood Pill you used contained some demon tiger blood, but it was of a low grade. Now that we have the blood of the Ironscale Demon Tiger, I will help you prepare some medicinal materials. In the future, you can just drink tiger blood soup directly..."

Gao Xian nodded. As an alchemy expert, he naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

If he had the formula for the Tiger Blood Pill and the blood of the Ironscale Demon Tiger, he could refine a higher quality Tiger Blood Pill.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiniang had years of experience in handling medicinal materials, so it wasn't a waste to have her help with the tiger blood preparation.

Seeing Zhu Qiniang's disheveled appearance, covered in sawdust, dirt, and blood, with one foot bare, Gao Xian said, "Why don't you rest for a while? There's no rush at the moment."

Zhu Qiniang shook her head. "The Ironscale Demon Tiger has just died, and the strong vitality in its blood hasn't dissipated yet. If too much time passes, the effect will be greatly reduced. Its bones, flesh, and scales also need to be decomposed as soon as possible."

She said to Gao Xian, "You were almost exhausted from the battle just now. You should rest and prepare for any changes. The demonic beasts are still roaming outside, so we must be careful."

At this time, there were no longer any sounds of the demonic beasts. However, Zhu Qiniang was still not completely at ease.

Gao Xian returned to the bedroom and found the little black cat curled up in the blanket, sleeping soundly.

He felt a bit resentful. He had fought so hard, but this guy was sleeping so comfortably.

He gave the little black cat a few strokes, and it protested with a couple of meows, but didn't even open its eyes.

The furry and warm little guy was really comfortable to pet.

Gao Xian also completely relaxed. He sat on the bed for a while, then remembered to use the cleansing spell twice to clean himself inside and out.

He was really exhausted and afraid of the demonic beasts coming again, so he took off his boots and went to bed.

When Gao Xian opened his eyes again, the room was already brightly lit, and it seemed to be almost noon.

The battle last night had really exhausted him. He had actually slept for so long.

Gao Xian stretched lazily and sat up. The room was too cold, and his breath was visible.

He used the Spring Breeze spell to warm up his body quickly. He also used the cleansing spell to take care of his personal hygiene, and he was completely awake.

Gao Xian didn't rush to go out. He took out the Book of Wind and Moon and saw that the Dual Realm of Ice and Fire had become the Nine Realms of Ice and Fire!

Nine Realms of Ice and Fire: The fusion of ice and fire, the harmony of yin and yang. (16/2000 entry level.)

Gao Xian thought that the Dual Realm of Ice and Fire had reached the pinnacle when it reached the Grandmaster level, but he didn't expect it to upgrade to the Nine Realms of Ice and Fire.

This was also because the Ironscale Demon Tiger was too fierce and had put tremendous pressure on him. Under the strong stimulation, the Grandmaster level Dual Realm of Ice and Fire completed a breakthrough.

It was clear that the Nine Realms of Ice and Fire would further enhance the power of Flame Blast and Ice Arrow.

Gao Xian had a clear feeling at the time and dared to continue using spells to fight the Ironscale Demon Tiger head-on.

Of course, he still had a backup plan. If he couldn't deal with the Ironscale Demon Tiger, he had a Flame Blast that was enough to collapse the nearby walls.

By slightly obstructing the Ironscale Demon Tiger, he could take the opportunity to activate the Shadowless Robe and have a great chance of avoiding this guy.

In this battle, Gao Xian realized the power of the Foundation Building level and understood the importance of adapting to the situation and being flexible in battle.

Of course, the most important thing was the breakthrough to the Nine Realms of Ice and Fire, which also meant that the Grandmaster level was not the limit.

Forget about the scars. At this moment, Gao Xian had already forgotten the danger he faced last night and only remembered the benefits of the breakthrough.

He thought happily, "Shadowless Robe, True Yang Spear, Electric Dragon Palm, Great Illusion Divine Art. If all of these can continue to upgrade, how great would that be!"
