Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 85: I Am Like Gold and Jade

"These troublemakers are truly despicable," Gao Xian muttered to himself. He now harbored a deep hatred for the Red Snake Gang.

If it weren't for the Red Snake Gang, life in Feima City wouldn't be so chaotic, and he would have lived a more comfortable and carefree life.

In the past, he thought Zhu Qiniang's attitude towards the Red Snake Gang was a bit extreme. How many good people could there be among cultivators?

But after a few encounters with the Red Snake Gang, Gao Xian realized just how evil they were.

Gao Xian shook his Qing Frost Sword and practiced the Qing Feng Sword Technique from beginning to end.

Amidst the sharp sword whistling, the shining green sword light converged into a ball, completely covering Gao Xian's figure.

The sword whistling suddenly stopped, and the flowing green sword light solidified. As the sword light slowly dissipated, Gao Xian's figure was revealed.

"Brother, that was amazing!"

Big Niu, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but applaud and praise. He had been watching Gao Xian practice boxing and swordsmanship all day, but it was the first time he had seen Gao Xian's swordsmanship so brilliant.

"It's not bad, not bad. I've made some progress recently..." Gao Xian laughed heartily. Without even looking, he casually inserted the sword, as light and precise as a bird returning to its nest, into the scabbard at his waist.

With the continuous consumption of Tiger Blood Ointment, his physical fitness had grown comprehensively over the past few months, and using the Qing Frost Sword was no longer strenuous. However, he still couldn't control it with fine precision.

After reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining, this 27-jin Qing Frost Sword became moderate in weight, easy to handle, and no longer felt cumbersome.

Even though he only used seventy percent of his strength during the sword practice, he could still feel the connection between his mind and the sword, hinting at the unity of body and sword.

He felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.

Gao Xian practiced the Iron Dragon Hands two more times until his whole body felt slightly warm before stopping.

He greeted Big Niu and returned to his room.

In another dark bedroom, Gao Xian knew that Qiniang was probably studying, so he didn't disturb her.

Back in his own room, Gao Xian used the Cleansing Technique twice to get rid of the sweat smell on his body.

Normally, he would take off his outer clothes before going to bed, but considering that the Red Snake Gang was causing trouble again, Gao Xian decided to sleep in his Qingyun Robe.

It was slightly cool in the May night, and wearing the robe to sleep wouldn't make him feel hot.

Gao Xian performed his routine exercises before closing his eyes and sinking his consciousness into the Heart and Mind Palace.

In this palace that belonged only to him, he could open the Mirror of Wind and Moon.

In the past four months, he had accumulated a considerable amount of Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Gao Xian had been hesitant to use these Human Dao Spiritual Lights, as he had originally planned to save them to upgrade the Great Puppet Divine Technique.

Among all the spells he knew, the Great Puppet Divine Technique was undoubtedly the most important, crucial, and fundamental Divine Ability.

To elevate the Great Puppet Divine Technique to the level of Grandmaster Perfection, he needed twenty thousand Human Dao Spiritual Lights.

Under normal circumstances, he would have enough after saving for a year.

"Eight thousand and ninety-three Human Dao Spiritual Lights..." Gao Xian pondered. With so many Human Dao Spiritual Lights, he could upgrade both the Electric Dragon Hand and the True Yang Spear to the level of Grandmaster Perfection.

Both of these spells were very useful, especially the Electric Dragon Hand, which had greatly benefited him.

His swordsmanship had improved so much mainly because of the Electric Dragon Hand.

But he still couldn't bear to use them. Not to mention the True Yang Spear, even if it reached the level of Grandmaster Perfection, its power would still be limited.

The Electric Dragon Hand might bring surprises, but it would be difficult to make a qualitative leap in his combat power.

No matter how much trouble the Red Snake Gang caused in the depths of Tengshe Mountain, they didn't pose much of a threat to him.

Gao Xian felt that his combat power was strong enough relative to his cultivation level.

His goal in battle was not to eliminate the enemy, but to protect himself. This principle must be made clear.

As the saying goes, "I am like gold and jade, while the enemy is like tiles and stones."

From a fundamental principle, the most important thing is not how strong one's combat power is, but rather the ability to protect oneself must be strong enough.

From a modern warfare perspective, one can completely view oneself as a comprehensive combat platform.

The Great Occult God Technique enhances divine consciousness and sixth sense, including the ability to detect enemy information in advance.

It is equivalent to a radar warning system and a command system.

The Shadowless Robe can conceal one's own position. It is equivalent to the stealth technology of a stealth aircraft, allowing one to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

The True Yang Spear is for electronic interference.

The Ice Arrow Art and Flame Bomb are like ship cannons, and the Crimson Flame Flying Sword can be seen as a missile.

Various protective spells and magical tools such as the Wood Shield are part of the defense system.

What is he currently lacking?

To be honest, he is not a military enthusiast and doesn't have much knowledge of modern warfare theory.

What he knows is just some remnants of internet information.

Starting from the need to protect oneself, does he now need stronger protective spells and magical tools?

His magical tool protection is already strong enough, and having more protective magical tools is not necessarily better. Because magical tools and spells can actually interfere with each other.

Otherwise, when encountering a strong enemy, he could just throw out a dozen Wood Shields or Earth Shields to withstand the attack.

Gao Xian pondered for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing what he needed.

He needs enough space in order to have strategic depth and to be able to use various tactics.

It's like being cornered by someone, where one can only fight to the death or be beaten. By escaping from a desperate situation, there are more choices. One can escape, engage in guerrilla warfare, or call for help...

With enough space, one can display various means.

How can one have enough space? In his current situation, it mostly involves face-to-face combat.

He needs to move faster in order to create space and have more options.

Just like playing a game, a clever flash displacement often changes the outcome of a battle.

Gao Xian looked at the Electric Light Dragon Hand and realized that this Divine Ability could make him faster, but the Electric Light Dragon Hand is not a displacement spell.

Wind Riding Technique, Divine Speed Technique, and other similar spells also don't count, because these spells only increase one's own speed and are more like auxiliary spells.

Among the spells he has learned, only the Geomagnetic Wheel is a true displacement spell.

The Geomagnetic Wheel uses the magnetic energy of the earth to transform into an invisible wheel. By using divine consciousness to control the invisible Geomagnetic Wheel, one can move quickly.

This first-grade intermediate spell is quite complex, with a very fast burst speed and a high consumption of mana. It can only be used for combat and is unlikely to be used for long-distance travel.

It took Gao Xian several months to get a basic understanding of this spell.

He felt that the Geomagnetic Wheel was very useful, but the casting speed was too slow, with a long pre-casting time in gaming terms.

In high-speed battles measured in seconds, such a slow spell obviously has no place.

Moreover, he is not proficient in using it.

With the perfect combination of the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens and the Flame Bomb and Ice Arrow Art, Gao Xian has been thinking about what can be used to complement the Geomagnetic Wheel and indirectly improve the speed of practicing the Geomagnetic Wheel.

In the "Dong Bin's Secret Essentials," there is a spell called the Yin Yang Wheel, which actually represents the circulation of Yin and Yang energy.

Its form is similar to that of a Yin Yang fish, hence the name Yin Yang Wheel.

Gao Xian has been focusing on meditation and alchemy for the past few months, and he also has to keep the Human Dao Spiritual Light. He hasn't had the time to ponder these esoteric spells.

Now, considering everything, Gao Xian decided to give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, he would only lose one or two hundred Human Dao Spiritual Lights.

In this aspect, Gao Xian does have talent.

However, this small spell still requires cooperation from others.

After thinking for a while, Gao Xian went to the next room to find Qi Niang.

After massaging and being attentive, and after much persuasion, he finally convinced Qi Niang to help him practice the spell...
