Chapter 289 Help
In mid-March, the spring flowers are blooming and the place is full of vitality. The Pegasus Fair is also obviously lively.
The cultivators who had been hiding all winter began to come out for activities. The number of cultivators from outside also began to increase gradually.
Gao Xian had reached the level of master perfection in his Dao Shen Dharma. He had nothing to do for a while, so he put most of his energy into refining alchemy.
It will be very cold in the morning and evening. Using charcoal fire to make elixir will not be very hot, and the heat emitted by the charcoal fire can be effectively utilized, which is more cost-effective than using spiritual stones.
The main reason is that with Daniu as a hard worker, Gao Xian only needs to make elixirs, and Daniu takes care of all other chores.
Well, the saved spirit stones will give Daniel a salary increase. Of course, Daniel is particularly willing to do this.
That day Gao Xian was refining elixirs in the alchemy room when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Gao Xian summoned the flower appreciating mirror. His eyes easily penetrated the wall and saw the two people knocking on the door. They were a young man and woman.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. Judging from their intimate gestures, they should be a couple or a couple.
Judging from how contented and energetic the two of them are, they must both be at the ninth level of Qi training. They are also wearing high-grade robes.
There are not many Pegasus Ji cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training.
After Gao Xian's magic spells reached master perfection, the level of all kinds of spells increased accordingly.
During this period, when the weather gets warmer, Gao Xian sometimes wears the shadowless robe and wanders around.
Pegasus Ji was so small, and there were no magical formations or magic weapons to cover it. He used the Flower Appraisal Mirror to observe the flow of power, and could easily identify the aura of the ninth-level Qi practitioner.
He even went to spy on Li Shuanglin, a major foundation-building cultivator. Through the shadowless robe and the flower-appraising mirror, Gao Xian could get a general idea of Li Shuanglin's situation even though he failed to enter Li Shuanglin's compound.
The spying on Li Shuanglin was not discovered, which greatly enhanced Gao Xian's confidence. He was even more unscrupulous in other places in Pegasus Ji.
The few ninth-level qi practitioners in Pegasus Ji may not have met Gao Xian, but Gao Xian is quite familiar with them.
These two people at the ninth level of Qi training met each other so well that Gao Xian could tell that the other person must be new to Pegasus Ji.
Gao Xian didn't want to deal with strangers, so he asked Daniel to check on the situation, and he didn't pay any more attention.
After a while, Daniel came back and handed Gao Xian two cleaning charms: "Brother, this is a gift from Yang Qiying and Su Yue. They are the new neighbors."
"Newly moved in?"
Gao Xian asked casually: "Is it the courtyard to the west?"
There used to be a bald old man living in the west courtyard, but his cultivation went wrong in the winter and he died.
Gao Xian noticed something was wrong when he was wandering around, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until his friend discovered something was wrong that he knew he was dead.
This man's yard was very big, the rent was very expensive, and people died inexplicably in it. Others were afraid that there was evil in it, so no one dared to rent it.
This new couple, either because they were brave or because they didn't know the situation, actually rented this yard.
Gao Xian didn't care either, the two ninth levels of Qi training were not enough to cause any trouble.
With his current level of magic cultivation, it wouldn't be too troublesome to kill these two men head-on.
He waved his hand to Daniel: "You can keep the cleaning talisman."
Daniel didn't pay much attention to this. Gao Xian always gave him all kinds of talismans and magic weapons, and he didn't like the two cleaning talismans now.
"Brother, the couple invited you to be a guest. They said it was a tea party, and they talked about it with friends at the tea party..."
Gao Xian doesn't like meaningless social interactions, so it would be good to practice magic for a while.
He has lived here for two years and has never spoken seriously to his neighbors. Of course, he is familiar with his neighbors, but they just don't know him.
He waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Daniel scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother, the couple invited you to go. It's not good for me to go."
"Then don't go."
Gao Xian said nonchalantly: "Self-improvement is fundamental and we must put an end to meaningless social interactions."
"oh."
Daniel understood about seven or eight points, and there were two or three points that he seemed to understand but didn't quite understand. He responded dully.
Gao Xian originally thought that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yuling came over in the afternoon and insisted on dragging him to attend the tea party.
"No, we're not trying to avoid suspicion."
Gao Xian doesn't want to go. It's more convenient to be at home and he can do whatever he wants.
Zhou Yuling shook her finger: "The ancestor has gone back. Moreover, it has been determined that this was an accident. What happens to the two of us has nothing to do with the Nan family."
Gao Xian still didn't want to go. He excused himself: "I don't know where the other person is from, so I just went to drink tea. Don't get poisoned to death."
"How can anyone be so bad! Besides, there are so many people, no one is a fool, and he can be poisoned to death..."
Zhou Yuling wrinkled her nose and snorted, "I think you just don't want to accompany me?"
She stared into Gao Xian's eyes with suspicion: "Are you afraid to go out with me to meet people? What are you afraid of?"
Zhou Yuling was questioning her aggressively when Gao Xian unexpectedly moved his mouth towards her and blocked her mouth.
Zhou Yuling still wanted to struggle, but Gao Xian's hand gently stroked her back, and her whole body went soft immediately.
After a while, the two separated. Zhou Yuling first wiped her own mouth, and then carefully wiped Gao Xian's mouth.
"Brother Xian, just go with me. I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, okay?"
After a verbal battle, Zhou Yuling's anger was gone. Now she held Gao Xian's arm and begged softly, with a pitiful and weak look on her face.
"Okay, okay, okay, why don't I go with you?"
Gao Xian didn't want to go, but he couldn't handle the fact that women would act coquettishly, and he was interested in her body, so he had no guts to refuse.
Zhou Yuling was very happy. She kissed Gao Xian and said, "Brother is the best!"
Don't go to the tea party empty-handed. Gao Xian packed four Guyuan Pills and four Bailu Pills in wooden boxes.
Based on his level as a first-level alchemy expert, these low-level elixirs are of extremely high quality. Not to mention that no one in Pegasus can compare with him, even Yuncheng has few people who can compare with him.
Taking a few pills as a gift was in line with his status as an alchemist. Eight pills would not look ostentatious or shabby.
Zhou Yuling obviously liked the excitement, and she happily entered Yang's house side by side with Gao Xian.
The guests of the Yang family were greeted by two maidservants with dignified looks and dignified manners, which showed that they were well-trained.
Well, it doesn’t match the rustic Pegasus very much. It’s this mismatch that shows how special this place is.
Zhou Yuling had never seen such a scene in Pegasus. Her bright eyes moved back and forth, finding it quite fresh and interesting.
Gao Xian whispered to Zhou Yuling: "Look at how people behave, look at your mother, our father's taste needs to be improved."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhou Yuling rolled her eyes at Gao Xian. When she arrived at an outsider's house, she didn't dare to make any small moves with Gao Xian, so she could only use sound transmission to remind Gao Xian.
Before the two of them entered the main room, Yang Qiying, Su Yong and his wife came out to welcome them.
"Two fellow Taoists are here. Some are far away to welcome you, some are far away to greet you. Please come in quickly..."
Both Yang Qiying and Su Yue seemed very enthusiastic, and their words and deeds were very measured and would not make people feel uncomfortable.
Gao Xian returned the gift, introduced himself, and gave the small gift he had prepared.
Yang Qiying took the gift casually and said very politely: "We are all neighbors. The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In the future, we will have to help each other. Fellow Taoist Gao, you don't have to be so polite..."
Regarding this young alchemist, Yang Qiying didn't see anyone when he went to visit him today. Now that he saw him in person, he was a little surprised.
Gao Xian has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament. He has a blue hair crown and a green robe that match well. He has a long sword on his waist. The sword looks very heroic.
There is such an outstanding person in a poor place like Pegasus. No wonder Zhu Qiniang is so happy!
Su Yong looked at Gao Xian with a smile on her face. No matter what, such a handsome young man is always pleasing to the eye.
She nodded to Gao Xian and took the initiative to chat with Zhou Yuling.
Zhou Yuling is lively and smart, Su Yong is good at communication, and the two women quickly become as affectionate as older sisters.
Entering the living room of the main room, Gao Xian found that it was quite spacious, with several long tables placed on them. There were dried fruits, desserts, and tea on the long tables.
The furnishings of the entire room are simple and clean, and they are set apart to a certain distance, leaving some space for the guests without making it too cramped.
Several guests have already come to the living room, all of whom are neighbors living on the left and right. Gao Xian actually knows them all, and even knows a lot about their secrets, but most of them have never met Gao Xian.
After hearing Yang Qiying introduce Gao Xian's identity, several guests suddenly looked at him. Then when they looked at Gao Xian, their eyes changed slightly.
Gao Xian knew what these people were thinking. Because Zhu Qiniang came in and out every day, everyone thought that the courtyard belonged to Zhu Qiniang, and they all thought that he was Zhu Qiniang's pretty boy, and they talked about him in private.
Seeing him and Zhou Yuling appear together, of course everyone would be a little surprised.
Zhou Yuling probably guessed what everyone was thinking, she dragged Gao Xian to the tea party, and that was not the reason.
She smiled softly and pulled down Gao Xian's sleeve: "Brother Xian, let's sit here."
Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling sat side by side behind a long table. Zhou Yuling nodded politely to everyone around her. She was afraid that Gao Xian would not recognize them, so she used sound transmission to introduce everyone's situation to Gao Xian.
"The man with the little girl is called Wan Zhen, and he is the weapon refiner for your friend Huang Dao. His daughter is seven years old, and her name is Wan Yingying.
"That big man's name is Song Yan. He is a ninth-level swordsman who practices Qi. It is said that his sword skills are unparalleled..."
When the guests were almost all here, Yang Qiying stood up and said some polite words.
The main meaning is that the couple is new here, so they ask the neighbors to take care of them.
Yang Qiying and Su Yue claimed to be from Dajiangfang, a relatively large city in Lianyun City.
The two of them talked about some strange things in Dajiangfang. They were very eloquent and had seen the world, and their manners were very confident and charming.
Everyone was relatively reserved at the beginning, but as the atmosphere gradually became warmer, everyone relaxed.
Gao Xian, a person who traveled through time, could not even fully recover his memory, let alone what he had learned. He could just sit back and listen to others bragging, and he could gain a lot of knowledge.
It has to be said that humans are group creatures, and it is human instinct to gather together.
Yang Qiying and Su Yue are even better at creating an atmosphere, taking good care of every guest enthusiastically and thoughtfully, allowing everyone to express their opinions.
This kind of tea party has no practical meaning, but everyone brags about various experiences and chats happily.
Wan Zhen, who seemed relatively dull, actually spoke very densely and spoke endlessly. His seven-year-old daughter Wan Yingying looked on with wide eyes, she was very cute.
Zhou Yuling rarely speaks because of her reserve, but she obviously enjoys such a lively atmosphere.
When she came out, Su Yue invited Zhou Yuling and Gao Xian to be guests when they had time, and Zhou Yuling agreed very happily.
Seeing that the sun was setting, Zhou Yuling waved goodbye to Gao Xian: "Goodbye, brother."
Gao Xian still wanted to persuade him to stay, "Go to my house for a meeting."
"If you don't go, you will be dishonest again."
Zhou Yuling walked a few steps and then turned around and smiled sweetly at Gao Xian: "Remember to miss me at night!"
Her eyes were as curved as crescent moons when she smiled, a few hairs hanging down from her forehead fluttered happily in the evening breeze, and her smile was full of indescribable brightness and enchantment.
Gao Xian's heart was about to be sweetened, and he couldn't help but think of a sentence: "The brightness of your gentle smile is better than twenty springs."
During dinner in the evening, Gao Xian and Qiniang talked about the new neighbor.
Zhu Qiniang frowned slightly: "Bixia Peak has been in chaos recently. I heard that the Qisha Sect is causing trouble behind it. You must be careful about this new neighbor."
Gao Xian nodded and said: "I will go see our new neighbors tonight..."
Daniel looked puzzled and said: "Brother, is it inconvenient to come to the house at night?"
Gao Xian glanced at the honest boy and felt a little guilty thinking that he had kept so many things hidden from Daniel.
He said softly: "Daniu is right, it is not suitable for visitors at night."
