Chapter 95: A Daughter Repays Her Father's Debt

Gao Xian opened his eyes and saw that the green jade slip in his hand had turned into tiny fragments like sand.

The profound knowledge of the Five Elements Technique engraved in the green jade slip was deeply imprinted in his memory.

The secret method of the Five Elements Technique contained text, patterns, and even three-dimensional animations of the human body's internal structure, guiding people on how to properly manipulate spiritual energy, open their spiritual apertures, and refine their bodies through the condensation of magical power.

The intricacies of this technique were difficult to express through words and images alone. They were conveyed through a more mysterious form of spiritual communication.

It must be said that this learning method was very unique and highly efficient.

If it were taught through verbal instruction, it would be impossible to convey the information so clearly and comprehensively.

The complete text of the Five Elements Technique was over a hundred thousand words long, and with the addition of the patterns and information transmitted through spiritual communication, it became even more complex and profound.

In comparison, the Five Elements Technique seemed crude.

At present, Gao Xian could only recite the text and patterns, but he couldn't express the essence of the Five Elements Technique transmitted through spiritual communication.

In other words, even if he wanted to pass on the Five Elements Technique to someone else, he could only transmit about fifty to sixty percent of it.

With such a profound and secretive technique, even the slightest mistake could lead to major problems. It was no wonder that the Yun Sect dared to give him the "Five Elements Technique" because they knew that even if he learned it, he wouldn't be able to pass it on.

However, this version of the "Five Elements Technique" had a major flaw: it only contained the cultivation method for the tenth level of Qi Refining and did not include the method for Foundation Building.

In other words, his Five Elements Technique could only reach a maximum of the tenth level of Qi Refining and couldn't achieve Foundation Building.

After discovering this, Gao Xian couldn't feel happy anymore. Did he spend five thousand spirit stones to buy a castrated version?!

"Did Lao Zhou deceive me?"

But Gao Xian quickly realized that it was unlikely. Just considering their cooperation in pill refining, Lao Zhou had no reason to do such a thing.

Apart from creating enmity between them, there was no benefit to be gained.

Gao Xian went to another bedroom and found Zhu Qiniang, telling her about the situation.

"Qiniang, do you think Lao Zhou did this on purpose?"

Zhu Qiniang shook her head. "Lao Zhou wouldn't do that, but Elder Nan Pingsong intentionally deceived us by taking so many spirit stones and not providing the method for Foundation Building."

She sighed and continued, "I knew Nan Pingsong was untrustworthy, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy. He even wanted to charge us again for the method of Foundation Building."

Gao Xian was a little angry. "That old man is really shameless! He wants to make money from everything."

"Don't worry. It will take you at least ten years to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining. The Five Elements Technique is not an unparalleled secret technique. We can rely on the sect to find a solution."

Zhu Qiniang comforted Gao Xian. "If all else fails, we can still spend money to find Nan Pingsong."

Gao Xian was a little annoyed. "No, I'm going to talk to Lao Zhou about this."

If it were a year ago, Gao Xian would still have to bow and beg Zhou Ye for help in exorcising evil spirits.

But now, things were different. After killing so many cultivators, Gao Xian's temper hadn't risen, but his backbone had.

Zhu Qiniang didn't stop Gao Xian either. Even if Lao Zhou didn't know about this, as a middleman, he was still involved.

This time, Gao Xian didn't hold back and directly climbed over the back wall of Zhou's house.

Zhou Ye was still very alert. When he heard the noise, he immediately ran out of his bedroom, holding a talisman in each hand, carefully observing the outside through the window.

When he saw Gao Xian in the courtyard, he was both angry and surprised. What was this kid doing? He silently jumped in without making a sound in the middle of the night. Was he not afraid of death?

"Nephew, why are you here?" Zhou Ye came out and tried to maintain a polite tone.

After all, Gao Xian still owed him twenty thousand Deer Horn Powder. If he didn't treat Gao Xian politely, what would he do if Gao Xian denied it?

Gao Xian said angrily, "Uncle Zhou, I treat you as my elder, but you treat me like a fool! That's not very respectful."

Zhou Ye looked confused. "What do you mean, nephew?"

"The Five Elements Technique you gave me only includes the method for the tenth level of Qi Refining and doesn't have the method for Foundation Building. What does this mean?!"

Gao Xian was in a bad mood and wasn't as polite to the old man, even if he was his future father-in-law. His tone was quite forceful.

Zhou Ye was also taken aback. "No method for Foundation Building? That can't be..."

The Yun Sect had passed down the complete Five Elements Technique for thousands of years, from the first level of Qi Refining to the tenth level of Gold Core. The version passed on to outsiders was naturally incomplete and couldn't include the methods for the Gold Core level.

But not even providing the method for Foundation Building was a bit excessive.

Seeing Gao Xian's angry appearance, Zhou Ye knew that Gao Xian couldn't be lying. He quickly said, "Nephew, please don't be angry. Let me ask my teacher about the situation. Once I find out, I will give you an explanation."

"Then I'll wait."

Gao Xian left a sentence and angrily climbed over the wall, leaving Zhou Ye standing in the courtyard, sighing deeply. "What is going on?"

As a Chinese person, he originally had good relationships with both sides and wanted to please them. But now, he has seriously offended Gao Xian.

Zhou Yuling came out of the room and comforted Zhou Ye, saying, "Dad, it's not like you deliberately deceived him. It's not a big deal."

She continued, "However, Gao Xian spent three thousand spirit stones to buy a secret technique that cannot be used for foundation building. He must be anxious and angry. That's three thousand spirit stones!"

For the Zhou family, three thousand spirit stones were a great fortune.

The Zhou family sold various spiritual talismans, deducting fifty percent for the sect and all expenses, leaving only seventy to eighty spirit stones per month.

Purchasing various cultivation tools, elixirs, and spiritual objects, in a year, they could save three to four hundred spirit stones.

The Zhou family made money mainly from selling deer horn powder, without having to share with the sect, which allowed them to save over a thousand spirit stones this year.

Zhou Yuling could understand Gao Xian's anger.

Zhou Ye sighed again. He also understood that it must be their teacher who caused the problem.

Nan Pingsong was his teacher. What could he do?

Zhou Yuling thought for a moment and said, "I think Gao Xian is really angry this time. I will go and apologize to him tomorrow. I'll say some nice words."

"Daughter, you are in a critical stage of practicing the Mingyu Technique. You can't act recklessly."

Zhou Ye reminded her, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

The matter with Nan Zhengxing hadn't been resolved yet. If his daughter really got together with Gao Xian, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

Zhou Yuling gave her father a disdainful look and snorted before turning around and going back to her room.

"Ah... what a mess," Zhou Ye also felt wronged. The teacher did such a terrible thing and now he had to sacrifice his daughter to resolve it!

The next morning, Zhou Yuling went to find Gao Xian.

Since Gao Xian moved, it was the first time Zhou Yuling had been to his house. She was curious about everything and took a tour with Gao Xian.

In the bedroom to the west of the main room, Zhou Yuling found that the bedding and other sleeping items were all there, with obvious signs of use. It was clear that someone had been living here.

She sniffed with her little nose and smelled the scent of a woman.

Zhou Yuling's face immediately darkened, and she glanced at Gao Xian and said, "Tell me, where did this wild woman come from?"

Gao Xian was prepared and calmly said, "Zhu, the shopkeeper, lives here."

"Isn't Zhu the shopkeeper dead? Zhu Qiniang?!"

Zhou Yuling took a moment to react and realized that she certainly knew Zhu Qijiang. The inhumane things this woman had done had long been spread throughout Feima Village.

Knowing that Zhu Qijiang lived here, her expression on her small face immediately softened a lot. Regardless, Gao Xian couldn't possibly have a romantic relationship with Zhu Qijiang.

She was a bit puzzled and asked, "Why is she living here?"

"I invited her," Gao Xian replied.

Gao Xian had already thought of a reason. He confidently said, "Feima Village is so chaotic. To ensure my safety, what's the problem with having a skilled person live with me?"

He was a bit unhappy and said, "Why do you still doubt me?"

Zhou Yuling gave Gao Xian a coquettish look and said, "Fine, I'll trust you this time."

Zhou Yuling didn't want to stay in someone else's room for too long, so she pulled Gao Xian back to his bedroom. "You scared my dad last night, but it was a good scare. From now on, I have a reason to come and see you every day."

She drew circles on Gao Xian's chest and said with a smile, "Let's ignore the old man for a couple of days. After a few days, you can give him a way out. Don't give him the twenty thousand deer antlers anymore..."

Gao Xian was touched. This woman was really on his side, even willing to sell out her own father.

Actually, he wasn't really angry last night. It was just a show of force to put pressure on Old Zhou.

He felt a bit embarrassed and said, "After all, he's your father. Isn't it not very appropriate?"

Zhou Yuling dismissed it, saying, "My dad has made quite a bit of money from the deer antlers. If things aren't handled properly, he naturally shouldn't get any more deer antlers for free. That's fair."

She also felt that her father had messed up this matter. The cultivation secret technique was related to Gao Xian's future, and such a big mistake shouldn't have happened.

Gao Xian hugged Zhou Yuling and said with an evil smile, "A father's debt is paid by his daughter. Little sweetheart, let me enjoy myself today. Consider it as paying back the interest!"

Saying that, Gao Xian pressed Zhou Yuling onto the bed, and the two of them rolled together.

Zhou Yuling didn't resist either. She looked pitiful and weak, saying, "I'm still young, please be gentle, sir..."

Gao Xian was originally joking, but when Zhou Yuling put on such a pitiful look, it ignited his desire.

Seeing Gao Xian's eyes light up and his movements becoming more intense, Zhou Yuling became a bit scared. "Hey, hey, don't be serious!"

Zhou Yuling locked Gao Xian with her hands and legs. She had originally thought that her cultivation level was far superior to Gao Xian's and that she could control the situation.

However, she didn't expect that Gao Xian's cultivation had greatly improved, especially his physical body, which had been tempered to be extremely strong and powerful. When they were in close combat, Zhou Yuling couldn't suppress Gao Xian.

Gao Xian also didn't dare to use too much force. In the stalemate, he suddenly used his lips and tongue, leaving Zhou Yuling defenseless...
