Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 77: Careful Plan

Gao Xian didn't like to use force, but this time he had no choice.

Qingping knew his address, knew a lot about him, and could even find him through the scent of the elixir.

As long as he stayed in Feima Ji, he couldn't escape from Qingping. The key was that the Chishe Gang behind Qingping was exceptionally brutal and troublesome.

Using force was one thing, but a good plan was also necessary.

Gao Xian took a piece of charcoal and drew a detailed layout of the courtyard on a white paper.

He had studied a bit of sketching and understood some basic painting techniques.

The Grandmaster-level Electric Dragon Hand allowed him to accurately depict the desired patterns. The Grandmaster-level Great Puppetry Technique allowed him to remember various details, such as proportions, light and shadow levels, and so on.

Combining the two, he had the ability of a hyper-realistic painter.

Hyper-realistic paintings have a style similar to high-resolution photos, but with even higher clarity, more details, and richer colors.

In simpler terms, hyper-realistic paintings are higher-resolution photos.

Of course, Gao Xian didn't have this ability before. Now that his control over his opponents had reached a superhuman level, he had terrifying precision and stability.

With a bit of painting technique, he could easily draw everything he had seen.

Even with a rough piece of charcoal, Gao Xian still meticulously drew the living environment of Qingping and the others.

Zhu Qiniang was very surprised. She had never seen such a detailed and lifelike painting, and she couldn't believe that Gao Xian had such a skill.

She sincerely exclaimed, "You can even paint, and your painting is so good, you're amazing!"

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

Although Gao Xian said this, he was secretly delighted. This casual show-off made him feel great.

"The main house has three rooms, where Er Ye and Qingping live. The east wing has three rooms, occupied by seven people, all in the mid-stage of Qi Refining."

"The west wing has seven people, three of whom are women. They are also in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Hmm, the relationships among these people are a bit complicated. There may be some changes later."

Gao Xian pointed at the surrounding walls and said, "There are threads on the walls, and there may be traps outside the walls. Only the main gate is the safest."

"There are too many people in the rooms, and using the Dream Mist Powder won't be very effective..."

Each cultivator had different resistance to the Dream Mist Powder, and with so many people in the rooms, it was unrealistic to try to knock them all out with the powder. He felt that this method wasn't very good.

Zhu Qiniang also agreed, "Using the Dream Mist Powder will easily alarm this group of people, so this method is not good."

"The key is to deal with Er Ye, that is, Black Snake."

The leader of the Chishe Gang was called Red Snake, Er Ye was Black Snake, San Ye was White Snake, and Si Ye was Green Snake, also known as Yao Qingshuang.

These famous figures, Zhu Qiniang had never seen them, but she had heard their names.

She felt that the most troublesome one was Black Snake, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, with rich combat experience and unknown powerful artifacts.

As for the other mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, although there were many of them, they were not as threatening as Black Snake.

If they could kill Black Snake first, the others would be easily defeated and would not pose a threat at all.

But if Black Snake led them, this group of people would erupt with formidable combat power.

The difference between attacking and defending was too great.

Gao Xian understood this principle, but for a moment, he couldn't think of a good solution.

"Don't worry, let me investigate their situation first, and then we'll see how to deal with Black Snake."

Zhu Qiniang said, "Don't delay, if they make the first move, the situation won't be good."

If they took the initiative to kill Black Snake and his group, no one would suspect that they were involved.

But if Black Snake and his group attacked Gao Xian first, it would definitely alarm others. Once the news got out, everyone would know that Gao Xian had a connection with the Chishe Gang.

At that time, Black Snake and his group would have trouble, and the Chishe Gang would definitely cause trouble for Gao Xian.

"Wait one more day, we'll take action tomorrow night."

Gao Xian said, "I also need to repair the Stone-Cutting Sword. We need to make preparations in all aspects. This matter is of great importance and cannot be rushed."

Zhu Qiniang was convinced and nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll take action tomorrow night."

After the discussion was settled, Gao Xian went to find Huang Ying at the Bai Bing Tang.

At this late hour, outsiders were naturally not allowed in. Gao Xian had an unusual relationship with Huang Ying, and her trusted subordinates knew about it, so Gao Xian smoothly entered the backyard.

Huang Ying was delighted to see Gao Xian approaching and pulled him over to have a drink together.

There have been several opportunities when Gao Xian didn't seize them. It's already late today, so whether he comes or not, Huang Ying took the initiative to come. It's all the same.

Huang Ying's fiery enthusiasm made Gao Xian feel a bit guilty.

He declined the offer to drink and took out the broken hilt of the sword, saying, "The hilt is broken, and I need it urgently. Could you please help me fix it, Sister Ying?"

Huang Ying was a bit surprised to see the burnt hilt and asked, "How did it end up like this?"

She said, "This is easy, just replace the hilt and polish it."

"Then I'll come to pick it up tomorrow at noon. Sister Ying, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Gao Xian didn't dare to stay any longer. Huang Ying's eyes were shining, as if she wanted to devour him.

If it were any other time, he would still be willing to flirt with Sister Ying, but now he couldn't. He didn't have the energy for such things.

Sister Ying was different from Qingping. It was easy to get involved with her, but it might not be so easy to get rid of her.

They were business partners, and getting too involved in personal relationships would make it difficult to separate their interests. It wouldn't be a good thing.

However, Huang Ying didn't want Gao Xian to leave. She held his hand with concern on her face and said, "Now that there are monsters running rampant, it's not safe for you to stay at home alone. Stay here with me, and I'll take care of you."

"No, no, I still have things to do. I'll come to see you another day when I have time."

Gao Xian hurriedly left, leaving Huang Ying with a reluctant expression sighing at the door.

Gao Xian actually heard the sigh, and he even sensed the emptiness and loneliness in it.

At another time, he would still be willing to comfort Sister Ying. But today, it was really not possible.

Back at home, Gao Xian and Qi Niang conducted various experiments.

The main focus was on testing the effectiveness of the Shadowless Robe, to see under what conditions Qi Niang could perceive the presence of the robe and Gao Xian himself.

The spell changes of the Shadowless Robe were fixed, but its performance in different environments could not be fixed.

For example, if the ground was covered in snow, the Shadowless Robe would definitely leave footprints. Or if there was water or a magical impact, any contact with various substances would reveal the Shadowless Robe.

How could he better use the Shadowless Robe to conceal his figure? How could he better utilize the advantages of the Shadowless Robe, including using spells and drawing his sword? These all required continuous experimentation and research.

The two of them were busy until late at night before resting.

The next morning, Gao Xian got up early and went to Qingping's lair, circling it twice, and even entering the courtyard for a lap.

At night, he had the cover of darkness and confidence in his heart. But during the day, wearing the Shadowless Robe and wandering around the courtyard, Gao Xian felt a bit guilty.

Daytime was really different. If he left footprints on the ground, others would clearly see that something was wrong.

Fortunately, the Shadowless Robe at the Grandmaster level was truly powerful. Gao Xian circled back and forth, even brushing past several cultivators, and they were completely unaware.

At noon, Gao Xian went to the Hundred Soldiers Hall to retrieve the Stone-Cutting Sword. The Frost Sword was sharper but too heavy and not handy enough.

When masters fight, they compete in every detail. Pursuing only powerful attacks would be a mistake.

In the afternoon, Gao Xian found a few pieces of paper and drew the structure of Qingping's residence, including the surrounding buildings and roads.

Gao Xian used a few small stones to simulate both sides and conducted a battle simulation on this detailed map.

Zhu Qi Niang had never seen this method before, and she was completely convinced by Gao Xian's brilliant and imaginative ideas.

Through the simulated battle, she gained a clear understanding of the upcoming fight, knowing the environment inside, the number of enemies, what she should do, how to attack, and how to retreat.

And how to respond to unexpected situations.

It's difficult for people to make calm and rational judgments during a battle. With this plan, at least the general direction could be determined.

It would prevent making wrong choices in panic.

The two of them discussed for a long time, and finally, Gao Xian slammed the table and said, "That's it."

Although Zhu Qi Niang felt it was somewhat risky, she still nodded in agreement.

Doing this kind of thing always involves taking risks! The chances of success for this plan are very high, so it's worth taking the risk.

Gao Xian said, "Let's rest and adjust first. We'll set off at three in the morning and take action at four."

Looking at Gao Xian, who seemed calm, Zhu Qi Niang couldn't help but feel a bit amazed. Gao Xian had grown so fast.

Two months ago, when Gao Xian went out to the streets, he always looked anxious.

Now that he was about to go out and fight desperately, Gao Xian was calm and even had the time to rest and adjust.

Just by looking at Gao Xian's state, Zhu Qi Niang felt that this matter would definitely succeed tonight!
