Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 81: Unexpected Wealth

Gao Xian was very happy, but Zhu Qiniang's expression was somewhat solemn.

This puzzled Gao Xian. "Qiniang, what's wrong?"

Zhu Qiniang fell silent for a moment before saying, "I learned some things from Qingping that are very unfavorable to us."

"Hmm?"

Gao Xian was taken aback. "They still have allies lurking in Feima Village?"

"No, they all live together. I asked repeatedly," Zhu Qiniang replied.

She attached great importance to this matter and had thoroughly dealt with Qingping. She was certain that Qingping hadn't lied.

They had done a clean job this time, completely wiping out the enemy's hideout. There shouldn't be any repercussions.

She reassured Gao Xian, "If they wanted to capture you, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Only Qingping and Hei She knew about it. No one else knows."

Upon hearing this news, Gao Xian felt completely at ease. As long as the members of the Chi She Gang didn't know about his involvement, he wouldn't be implicated.

But with Qiniang's expression like this, could there be something else that wasn't good?

Zhu Qiniang said, "Qingping said that the Chi She Gang discovered something at Qingxia Peak. Many cultivators were captured by them and forced into hard labor for several years. It seems like they have support from other sects behind them..."

Gao Xian didn't understand. "What does this have to do with us?"

"According to Qingping, the Chi She Gang wants to destroy Feima Village. Of course, it has something to do with us!"

Zhu Qiniang said seriously, "Our foundation is here. If Feima Village is destroyed, we will be finished, and our accumulated foundation will be gone."

Only now did Gao Xian understand what Zhu Qiniang was worried about. Indeed, Zhu Qiniang occupied Changsheng Hall and relied on Feima Village to make money.

If something happened to Feima Village, Changsheng Hall would be done for.

In this regard, he and Qiniang were actually different. As an alchemist, he could refine pills anywhere. It wouldn't have a big impact.

"Should we inform the Lianyun Sect about this news? They should send someone to investigate, right?" Gao Xian suggested.

Zhu Qiniang shook her head. "The Lianyun Sect is a large sect with various internal factions. We won't be able to explain anything clearly. Sending a message over won't make any difference."

"What's even more troublesome is that there might be people colluding with the Chi She Gang. If we show up and speak, it might attract disaster," Zhu Qiniang said.

Gao Xian felt that Qiniang was overthinking. This can't be done, that can't be done, and she was also worried about the safety of Feima Village.

He casually said, "Feima Village is so big. Even if something happens, Li Shuanglin is there to handle it. Who cares!"

Zhu Qiniang was a little surprised. She had always thought that Gao Xian was cautious and careful, but she didn't expect him to have such a carefree side.

In fact, this was the wisdom Gao Xian had learned in his previous life. If he couldn't handle something, he simply wouldn't bother with it. If he couldn't solve his anxiety, he would just lie down and relax.

Gao Xian said again, "Anyway, this group of Chi She Gang guys has been dealt with. It's the middle of winter, so they shouldn't have the energy to cause trouble again. As for future matters, we'll deal with them later."

"Being anxious in advance won't solve any problems!"

He pointed to the pile of magical artifacts and spirit stones on the table. "We can hide at home and divide the spoils. How enjoyable!"

Zhu Qiniang was convinced by Gao Xian's words. She used her appraisal technique on herself and then picked up the black wristguard to examine it.

"This wristguard is actually a scabbard. It must contain a flying sword. Even if it's the lowest grade flying sword, it's worth three thousand spirit stones."

She then picked up the black robe. "This should be a Profound Water Robe, woven with black water spider silk, a top-grade first-tier item. Even second-hand, it's worth a thousand spirit stones."

Zhu Qiniang patiently explained to Gao Xian, "To determine the level of a magical artifact, you first look at the internal forbidden formations. If it has a complete set of thirty-six minor forbidden formations, it's a low-grade item. If it has a complete set of seventy-two forbidden formations, it's a medium-grade item. If it has a complete set of one hundred and eight minor heavenly forbidden formations, it's a top-grade item."

"The specific magical artifact also depends on the material, refining technique, and other factors to determine its grade..."

Gao Xian nodded, learning from her. As a former alchemy apprentice, his knowledge was very limited.

"This black gold sword of Hei She should be made of black iron fused with wujin gold, weighing at least forty jin. It's worth over a thousand spirit stones!"

"Wow, is running a gang this profitable?" Gao Xian was amazed. The most valuable item on Zhu Hong'an's body, the Green Wood Armor, was only worth eight hundred spirit stones. The flying sword, robe, and sword on Hei She's body were actually so expensive!

Hei She was just a mountain bandit. Where did he get so many spirit stones?

"It's very unreasonable."

Zhu Qiniang also felt that something was not right. Black Snake was only at the Qi Refining ninth level, how could he afford such expensive robes and flying swords by robbing things in the mountains?

She speculated that it might be related to the secret of Qingxia Peak.

If that was the case, the secret of Qingxia Peak would be very valuable. Unfortunately, she and Gao Xian were too weak to get involved.

Zhu Qiniang pushed the robes, flying sword, Xuanjin Sword, two storage bags, and 1,425 spirit stones in front of Gao Xian.

"You killed Black Snake and many other cultivators. It's reasonable for you to take ninety percent of the spoils."

Zhu Qiniang knew very well that the key to this battle was to kill Black Snake first.

If Black Snake didn't die, the other cultivators wouldn't panic. They would have almost no chance of winning this battle.

With Gao Xian's powerful spells and swordsmanship, she didn't need to take action. The remaining cultivators posed no threat to him.

"If you're so generous, then I won't be polite."

Gao Xian put the Xuan Water Robe, Xuanjin Sword, and spirit stones into the storage bag. He held up the wrist guard and asked, "Qiniang, how does this work?"

"There's a mark of Black Snake's divine consciousness on it. Take some time to remove his mark, then resonate with the sword using your divine consciousness and sword technique, and you'll be able to control the flying sword."

Zhu Qiniang reminded Gao Xian, "Controlling a flying sword requires a powerful divine consciousness and consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

"The flying sword is also exceptionally sharp, and you could easily injure yourself if you're not careful. Without the Sword Control Technique, you need to pay even more attention to safety."

Controlling a flying sword requires a powerful divine consciousness and skill. Generally speaking, cultivators at the Qi Refining level have no ability to control a flying sword.

For example, with this wrist guard-style scabbard, if you're not careful when retracting the flying sword, you could injure your arm.

Gao Xian nodded vigorously. "I understand, I'll be careful."

Zhu Qiniang put away the remaining magical tools, swords, pills, and talismans. "These are worth six or seven hundred spirit stones. I've really made a profit."

The Red Snake Gang's cultivators didn't have many spirit stones, but the quality of the swords and magical tools they used was good.

Various protective talismans and pills were also practical and easy to use.

After dividing the spoils, not only was Gao Xian in high spirits, but Zhu Qiniang's mood also improved significantly.

Gao Xian noticed Qiniang's state and leaned over with a flattering tone, saying, "Beauty, let me give you a massage for health and relaxation. Those who have experienced it all say it's good."

Zhu Qiniang glanced at Gao Xian disdainfully and turned back to the main room's western bedroom.

Before Zhu Qiniang could speak, Gao Xian closed the door behind him. He pulled Zhu Qiniang back as she couldn't push him too hard, and the two of them fell onto the bed together.

"Don't mess around."

Zhu Qiniang said, "It's almost dawn, so rest well."

"I'll help you relax with a massage. What are you afraid of?"

Gao Xian didn't give Zhu Qiniang a chance to resist and used his electric light and dragon's palm technique to touch her.

In fact, Zhu Qiniang quite enjoyed Gao Xian's massages. They stimulated her body's bones and muscles, allowing her to regain various sensations of a normal person, which was also beneficial for her cultivation.

However, after being intimate with Gao Xian last time, it felt a bit too ambiguous to receive a massage again. She was psychologically uncomfortable with it.

Fortunately, Gao Xian didn't go too far. His techniques were exquisite, and the electric light power penetrated her muscles and organs from the outside to the inside. Zhu Qiniang quickly relaxed completely.

After Gao Xian finished massaging her from head to toe, Zhu Qiniang fell asleep.

Normally, Gao Xian would definitely cover Zhu Qiniang with the blanket and leave.

But today, Gao Xian didn't want to leave like that.

In this relaxed state, Zhu Qiniang's body was relaxed, her expression softened, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

From an Eastern aesthetic perspective, Zhu Qiniang's mouth was a bit large. In reality, her lips were well-defined and full.

She cultivated the Primordial Origin Golden Body Art, which made her blood and energy vigorous, giving her lips a natural pink glow.

Gao Xian had just tasted her yesterday, and today he had the time to appreciate Zhu Qiniang's beauty.

However, he realized that something was wrong as he looked at her. His divine sense, which was highly sensitive due to his Great Occult Art, detected something unusual in Zhu Qiniang's aura.

Gao Xian leaned down gently, and Zhu Qiniang couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. She was about to sit up and speak when Gao Xian, with a mischievous smile, whispered in her ear, "Qiniang, you don't want Daniu to hear any noise, do you?"
