Chapter 76: Anger

In this lawless and disorderly place, Gao Xian learned to struggle, learned to fight, and learned to kill.

Gao Xian is no longer the weak and gentle middle-aged office worker. He is as sharp as a sword, forged and polished through countless conflicts and battles.

Qingping took one Red Blood Pill in exchange for five hundred White Dew Pills from the original owner. This is already going too far.

He didn't hold Qingping accountable for the original owner because the original owner was foolish.

Now Qingping is actually blaming him for it, and Gao Xian can't help but feel a bit impatient.

But Gao Xian is not a hot-blooded youth after all, and he quickly calms down.

The man in the room has a high cultivation level and a deep and long-lasting aura. He should be at the same level as Seventh Sister in the late stage of Qi Refining.

There are fourteen other cultivators in the other rooms, and even though their spells are powerful, there is no guarantee of victory against so many people.

Judging from the situation of this group of people, they should all be members of the notorious Red Snake Gang, the same group as Yao Qingshuang.

The beginning of the "Dongbin's Secret Essentials" has a very good saying: "If I am gold and jade, then my enemies are like tiles and stones."

The "Dongbin's Secret Essentials" talks about the way between men and women, which can also be applied to the current situation.

One's own life is precious and must be highly valued. It is not worth exchanging one's own life for a hundred lives of the enemy.

Because the enemy is like a stone, while oneself is like gold and jade. Gold and jade should not clash with stones! One's own life cannot be exchanged for the lives of countless enemies.

Taking action now would only bring temporary satisfaction, but it could very well lead to one's own demise. That would be too foolish!

Gao Xian thought about this and completely calmed down. Even if he were to take action, he needed to understand the enemy's strengths and weaknesses and formulate a good plan.

The men and women in the room are now intimate and no longer talking much.

Gao Xian didn't rush to leave. He walked around the courtyard and listened at the windows of the other rooms, getting a basic understanding of the situation of the cultivators inside and noting the layout of the courtyard and some details.

When he was about to leave, Gao Xian originally planned to climb over the wall. But when he reached the wall, he realized something was wrong.

There were transparent threads on the top of the wall, even thinner than hair. Supported by the wooden sticks inserted in the corners of the wall, they wound around the wall for who knows how many circles.

If it weren't for his powerful divine sense, he wouldn't have noticed anything wrong in the darkness and would have definitely been caught by the threads.

Gao Xian didn't know what the threads were for, but they seemed to be very tough and possibly had a super strong adhesive property like spider silk.

Being caught by the threads would definitely not end well. There might even be traps like pits dug outside the wall.

He became more cautious in his mind. The Red Snake Gang had been staying in Tengshe Mountain for a long time, and they had rich hunting and battle experience. They might look like a ragtag group, but they couldn't be underestimated.

In the end, Gao Xian left through the top of the gate. There were no threads set up there, and it was the only opening.

Moreover, people frequently entered and exited through the gate, so it was impossible for anyone to set up traps there.

Back at home, Zhu Qimang and Big Bull were waiting for him to have dinner together.

Big Bull was still young and had a lower cultivation level, so Gao Xian didn't say anything in front of him and only mentioned that he went out to see off a guest.

They had iron rhinoceros demon tiger meat for dinner again, and the three of them enjoyed a hearty meal.

After dinner, Big Bull cleaned up the dishes and tidied up the house, while Gao Xian and Zhu Qimang went back to their room to practice breathing exercises.

Gao Xian circulated the Five Elements Technique for 108 cycles, converting most of the spiritual energy in the tiger's blood and flesh into Five Elements mana.

After finishing, he practiced the Iron Dragon Fist in the courtyard twice.

When Gao Xian finished these tasks, Zhu Qimang took him to the room to see the tiger blood ointment.

Despite the large size of the demon tiger, only a small half barrel of blood was extracted.

There were also many medicinal herbs in the crude pottery jar, and now they had all solidified into a mass with the blood, with a blackish-red color that didn't look very appealing.

"Soak it for another two days, and the medicinal herbs will integrate with the tiger blood, then it can be used. At that time, you can put it in your storage bag for easier preservation," Zhu Qimang said.

"Tiger blood contains powerful vitality and spiritual energy. You should only eat a small piece at a time, not too much. When your cultivation level gradually improves and you adapt to the medicinal power of the tiger blood ointment, you can adjust it yourself."

Gao Xian nodded, "I remember."

Seeing that Gao Xian's expression wasn't too good, Zhu Qimang took the initiative to ask, "What's the situation with that woman?"

"Qingping is a member of the Red Snake Gang. They plan to capture me and take me back to the mountain to help them refine pills," Gao Xian said in front of Zhu Qimang, not bothering to hide his anger. "These bastards deserve to die!"

"The Red Snake Gang can gather a large number of medicinal herbs in the mountains. It's troublesome and not very profitable to transport them out. It's a good choice to refine pills on the spot."

Zhu Qiniang said, "No wonder they targeted you. Of course, they were probably acting on a whim.

"If they had planned it for a long time, they would have taken you back already, instead of waiting so long."

Feima Town is small, and there are not many alchemists. Only Gao Xian is young and easily deceived, and the Red Snake Gang had no other choice.

"They are probably afraid that you will get in their way, so they used the Crimson Blood Seal on you, hoping to attract the Iron Scale Demon Tiger to kill you."

Gao Xian chuckled and said, "They still want me to voluntarily follow them, probably to maintain my motivation for work."

The failure rate for ordinary alchemists is actually quite high. Once a batch fails, all the medicinal materials are wasted.

Cultivation has many skills, and alchemy is a very expensive skill, and it also heavily relies on talent.

The original owner of this body had some talent and, under the guidance of his teacher Xu Mingyuan, he was able to independently refine three types of low-level elixirs.

After being reborn into this body, Gao Xian's alchemy skill has reached the expert level through the addition of points from the Fengyue Mirror.

The success rate for refining those few low-level elixirs is one hundred percent.

To be frank, in terms of alchemy skills, he is not inferior to his teacher Xu Mingyuan. Especially for the few elixirs he can refine, no one in the Yun Zong can compare to him.

However, he doesn't have any elixir recipes in his hands, so he can only refine low-level elixirs.

Qingping and the others definitely don't know about this. They should be afraid of forcibly taking him away and affecting his motivation, so they intentionally ruined the elixirs.

But these bandits didn't have much patience after all, and in the end, they couldn't help but resort to force.

Gao Xian said, "It can be almost certain that it was these guys from the Red Snake Gang who brought the demon beasts to Feima Town. I just don't know what they want to do."

Whether it was using the Crimson Blood Seal to calculate Qiniang or using the demon beasts to scare him, these were all incidental.

The Red Snake Gang couldn't have caused such a big disturbance just for him. There must be another motive.

Zhu Qiniang thought for a moment and said, "The Red Snake Gang has been entrenched in the Tengshe Mountain for many years, and no one knows what they are up to. Many people speculate that they have support from other sects..."

Although Tengshe Mountain is already the border of the Yun Zong, crossing the Tengshe Mountain and heading north leads to the Bai Long River.

This great river winds through the mountains and serves as a natural boundary.

Crossing the Bai Long River is the territory of the Qi Sha Sect and the Chi Yan Sect.

To reduce conflicts, the three sects have agreed that the area near the Bai Long River is a buffer zone and generally not to be entered.

If the Red Snake Gang has support from another sect, it would either be the Qi Sha Sect or the Chi Yan Sect.

The Yun Zong doesn't pay much attention to these matters. Feima Town is so small that it's not worth making a big fuss over.

Furthermore, these speculations are just rumors and have no evidence.

If there is support from another sect, it would make sense for the Red Snake Gang to destroy Feima Town.

Zhu Qiniang wasn't very interested in these matters and didn't know the specific situation, so she could only make a rough guess.

"Does this involve other sects?"

Gao Xian was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't we go find Li Shuanglin and explain the situation to him, let him deal with these people."

Using external forces to deal with enemies is both simple and safe. He thought this was the best plan.

However, Zhu Qiniang shook her head and said, "No, Li Shuanglin is unreliable. What if he is an accomplice of the Red Snake Gang?"

Gao Xian was shocked, "Ah, this can't be true, right?"

He thought that Li Shuanglin, as a Foundation Building cultivator, had no reason to be involved with the Red Snake Gang.

"The Red Snake Gang has been causing trouble in the depths of Tengshe Mountain for so long, and Li Shuanglin hasn't made a move. I don't believe they have no connection at all."

Zhu Qiniang said seriously, "If Li Shuanglin really has a problem, we will all die."

Although she and Gao Xian had killed the Iron Scale Demon Tiger together, they couldn't compare to a Foundation Building cultivator.

"What should we do then?" Gao Xian hesitated. There were too many people on the other side, and he and Qiniang were a bit too weak.

Zhu Qiniang said dismissively, "The highest among them is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the rest are just a bunch of ordinary people. We can outsmart them and kill them like pigs and dogs."

She looked at Gao Xian with a serious expression and said, "Calculations are correct, but too many calculations are not."

"Throughout history, no one has achieved great things solely through calculations."

Gao Xian fell silent for a moment, a hint of fierceness appearing in his eyes. "You're right, f*ck them!"
