Chapter 143 Puzzled
Lianyuncheng, West District, Changshengtang backyard.
This courtyard is not large in scale, with a total of three entrances and two cross-courtyards. They are all brick and wood structures. The spatial layout is generous and simple, and the materials used are solid. Although it is not exquisite, it is quite impressive.
The main room area is shrouded in a light cyan mana aura, like a cyan translucent tent, covering most of the backyard from top to bottom.
Gao Xian walked around the backyard and found nothing unusual, then took out a cyan jade and passed it through the magic circle into the backyard.
There are many runes engraved on the cyan jade, which have a subtle resonance with the six-square array. Holding the jade in hand, you can freely pass through the array.
The Six Square Array is a first-level array, known for its stability, and consumes about three spiritual stones every day.
To maintain such a magic circle all year round requires thousands of spiritual stones. This is also a huge expense.
Under normal circumstances, the Six Square Array will only be turned on at night.
When Gao Xian came during the day, Qiniang gave him this piece of jade so that he could come in and out freely.
The level of the six-square array is not high. Gao Xian can use the shadowless robe to penetrate the array, but it is not polite to do so, and it is not necessary.
Gao Xiancai entered the atrium and was greeted by Zhu Qiniang.
She was wearing a thin yellow sweatshirt and stood there with her bare feet. The powerful magic power of the foundation-building monk allowed her to float easily in the air without any dust on her feet.
Gao Xian was quite envious of this, "Building the foundation is good, you can control the air and float at any time."
His geomagnetic wheel can also control the air and glide, but it is far different from the foundation-building monk's air control and flying.
Zhu Qiniang looked Gao Xian up and down, and said helplessly: "You are full of murderous intent, and you killed someone again?"
"When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves."
Gao Xian went over and took Qiniang Su's hand, "It's said inside."
Zhu Qiniang frowned slightly, but said nothing. She was not afraid that Gao Xian would kill someone, but she just didn't want Gao Xian to do it so casually.
Lianyun City is not a gathering of Pegasus. The forces here are intertwined, and if you do something wrong, you may offend the foundation-building monks.
Zhu Changsheng's main occupation is alchemy, and he is not good at fighting. It is one thing to plot against Zhu Changsheng, but it is another thing to make enemies of other foundation-building monks.
Zhu Qiniang wanted to remind Gao Xian not to be careless, but she had already completed the foundation building. If she said this again, it would be easy for Gao Xian to think that she was giving orders in a condescending manner, causing unnecessary grudges.
No matter how close the relationship between the two parties is, there are still some things that cannot be said directly.
The two sat down in the living room. Gao Xian took out a lot of magical instruments and talismans from his storage bag, and piled them all on the square table.
After seeing so many things, Zhu Qiniang knew that Gao Xian had killed many people.
She casually picked up a yellow robe. This robe was yellow with red in it. It was thick in texture and had a faint texture like gold and iron.
"The hematite robe is made of a mixture of hematite, fire crystal, and ice silk. It is a top-grade first-class product with the added bonus of a second-order golden light technique. It is worth four thousand spiritual stones..."
After Zhu Qiniang was promoted to Foundation Establishment, her spiritual consciousness was more than ten times stronger than before, and her level of identification skills also increased accordingly.
As soon as she got the robe, she could see the material of the robe and the most valuable golden light spell on the robe.
She looked at Gao Xian: "This red iron robe cannot be that of Xu Shengye, right?"
In the morning, Gao Xiancai asked her about Xu Shengye. There were not many people in Lianyung City who could afford to wear red iron robes, so she easily came up with the answer.
Gao Xian chuckled: "Qiniang has a sharp eye and is very powerful."
Seeing that Qiniang's face looked a little unhappy, he explained: "I didn't want to kill Xu Shengye, it was Xu Shengye who led a group of people who wanted to steal the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra".
"Xu Mingyuan treats me badly, but my wife takes good care of me. It's okay if I don't have the ability. Now that I have the ability, I can't just ignore it..."
Not to mention the close relationship between the original owner and Bai Yurong, he couldn't stand the greed and viciousness of these people. And since he was involved, he would not hesitate to kill them.
There is also extra income. Well, he is indifferent to fame and wealth, and using these spiritual stone magic weapons is just incidental. The main thing is to punish injustice and eliminate evil!
Zhu Qiniang took the initiative to hold Gao Xian's hand and said softly: "I'm not afraid of causing trouble, I'm worried about your safety.
"Behind Xu Shengye is Xu Lingyun, who builds the third level of the foundation. This person is proficient in alchemy and it is not surprising that he covets the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra".
"Since you killed Xu Shengye, there is nothing to fear. Although Xu Lingyun has practiced for a hundred years more than me, I am not afraid of him!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Qiniang's tone naturally became a little more sonorous and tough.
Gao Xian hurriedly comforted Zhu Qiniang: "It's not that, it's not that. Xu Lingyun doesn't know about Xu Shengye and the others. This time I did it very cleanly. All the blood stains were wiped away with cleaning techniques, and the bodies were also disposed of. He found them anyway.
On my head."
"It's nothing to be afraid of anyway, you don't have to worry."
Zhu Qiniang said seriously: "No matter what happens, I will be with you."
Gao Xian was a little moved. He had said this to Qiniang, but now that it came out of Qiniang's mouth, it had a different and moving meaning.
He looked at Zhu Qiniang and thought for a long time before saying: "Do you want a massage?"
Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what Gao Xian was thinking.
She was so serious, but Gao Xian's answer was so out of tune. This is what makes Gao Xian unique. Gao Xian is different from all cultivators. It is difficult to describe the temperament he has. This is what makes him unique.
The charm lies.
"OK."
Zhu Qiniang readily agreed. She had completed the foundation building and solved the problem of body alienation. She did not need massage, but she liked the close relationship with Gao Xian.
Gao Xian and Qiniang entered the bedroom. Although Qiniang had already established the foundation, she couldn't resist the Grandmaster's full-level electro-photovoltaic dragon hand.
Qiniang was quickly pressed until her muscles and bones became soft, and her sweatshirt was soaked through.
Such a soft Qiniang's bright green eyes were a little more soft and charming, but Gao Xian's mouth was getting dryer and drier.
Zhu Qiniang was also a little emotional, but she suddenly said: "I got the Qingyuan leaves you used for practice, thirty pieces in total. With your talent, you will soon be able to advance to the eighth level of Qi training."
When talking about cultivation, Zhu Qiniang quickly calmed down.
She added: "The red iron robe is a top-quality robe that can be used by Qi practitioners. Don't sell it. Keep it for your own use. Just be careful not to let outsiders see it..."
Although the red iron robe is of the first level, it is of better quality than many second level robes.
Such a top-quality robe is difficult to buy even if you have money.
Gao Xian nodded. He also felt that the red iron robe was of good quality. Now that he and Qiniang were both short of money, it was indeed better to keep it for their own use.
"I'll take care of the rest. The total value should be five to six thousand spiritual stones."
Qiniang said softly: "If you kill Xu Shengye and his group, you will definitely alarm Xu Lingyun. You should stay with me for the next few days and don't go to Xu's house."
Gao Xian did not agree with this. He said: "It is difficult to implicate me in Xu Shengye's death. It seems guilty for me to hide."
In the world of cultivators, there is no Internet, no mobile phones, and even media such as television and newspapers. Information is very limited.
Strange cultivators are wary of each other, and the small circle formed is very closed.
The foundation-building monks are just powerful, allowing them to control the bottom layer. However, this kind of control is one-sided, and it is actually more closed at the information level.
He killed him because he saw that Xu Shengye and his group were secretly doing things. Xu Lingyun didn't even know what they were doing.
As for Wu An, Jiang Cheng secretly colluded with Xu Shengye, but his other brothers didn't know about it.
Each information loop may not be so tight, but it is a huge obstacle to Xu Lingyun. What's more, if he does it so neatly, Xu Lingyun will only doubt other foundation-building monks.
If all this can be easily found on his head, then Xu Lingyun must be a god!
As Gao Xian's cultivation improves, he also understands cultivators better and better. Cultivators are very powerful and subtle, but they don't have the ability to know the past and future with just a few clicks!
At least building foundations, Jin Dan didn't have this ability. Along the way, he saw the limits of cultivators' abilities, and no longer had any respect for cultivators.
Zhu Qiniang didn't think so much. She simply felt that it was unnecessary for Gao Xian to return to the Xu family. It was just Gao Xian's insistence that she couldn't say much.
Before dawn, Gao Xian quietly returned to Xu's house.
Without Jiang Cheng and others, Gao Xian was the only one left in the Xu family's front yard, which seemed quite deserted.
Gao Xian lay down for a while. When the sun rose, he went to the yard to practice his sword twice. Chunxiang ran over and gave him breakfast.
At noon, Gao Xian saw Bai Yurong in the main hall.
After a night's rest, Bai Yurong's whole body seemed to be glowing and she looked in very good condition.
Bai Yurong saw a smile on Gao Xian's face, "I was really drunk yesterday. Fortunately, Xiaoxian was here, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself..."
Gao Xian said: "I was a little drunk yesterday, and the alcohol had a strong stamina."
Bai Yurong saw nothing unusual about Gao Xian, and she was relieved.
She said casually: "You are extremely talented in alchemy. It's a pity that your master doesn't know where he hid the "Three Yuan Alchemy Sutra"!"
"My level of alchemy is too low, so giving me the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra" is useless," Gao Xian said.
He has been studying the "Elixir of Immortality" recently, and this elixir is extremely superb.
He couldn't take shortcuts when refining elixirs. He thought it would take several years to truly master the "Elixir of Immortality Sutra".
I don't care much about the "San Yuan Dan Sutra". It's good to have it, but it's okay not to have it.
Zhou Yuling said it well, alchemy is just a heretic after all, and cultivation is the foundation.
Just by relying on Lujiao San and Tiangui Dan, he can make a lot of money and gain a lot of humanistic aura.
Although the elixir prescriptions in the "Eternal Life Pill Sutra" are very good, anyone with money can easily buy them. This is also true for his master's refining of Sanyuan Dan.
There are hundreds of arts in cultivation, each skill is extensive and profound and requires countless efforts.
If you want to achieve high attainments in alchemy, you need to invest a lot of energy and resources.
He has a bright future in spiritual practice, and there is no need to waste time and resources in other areas.
Bai Yurong also noticed that Gao Xian didn't seem to be very interested in the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra", which surprised her.
She changed the topic and asked: "Xiaoxian, what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to Pegasus Ji?"
Gao Xian shook his head: "I have made an agreement with Changshengtang to help them refine elixirs in Lianyuncheng from now on. I will not go to Pegasus Fair."
"Zhu Changsheng is dead. I heard that the current head of the family is called Zhu Qiniang. She is a newly promoted foundation-building monk. It is said that her methods are very powerful."
Bai Yurong pondered for a moment and said: "It was your master who signed the contract with Changshengtang. Now that everyone else has gone, the contract should be invalidated.
"I can go out and talk to Changshengtang, and at the worst I can pay them some spiritual stones."
Gao Xian shook his head: "I'm doing a good job in Changshengtang, so you don't have to worry, Master."
Bai Yurong took a deep look at Gao Xian. Gao Xian's face was filled with complacency and no special emotion could be seen.
This puzzled her. Xu Mingyuan signed a contract with Changshengtang to sell his body to Gao Xian, and the conditions were very harsh.
With Gao Xian's current level of cultivation, how could he be willing to work for Changsheng Hall?
Gao Xian always felt that there was something wrong with Bai Yurong, and he didn't want to get too close to the mistress. After talking, he excused himself beforehand.
Bai Yurong didn't stop Gao Xian, but told him to come home often.
Xu Lingyun stood in the atrium of the Xu family mansion with a gloomy face. He had just looked around and found no blood or signs of violence.
The problem is that the room is too clean. It has obviously been cleaned. It looks like a cleaning technique was used!
It is almost certain that Xu Shengye and his group have been eliminated.
He was able to eliminate a group of mid- to late-stage qi practitioners without leaving any trace. Only a great foundation-building monk could have such power.
Xu Lingyun was a little confused. Which foundation-building monk would come to his house to commit murder? He was too arrogant to take him seriously!
This matter must be investigated clearly and we must not let it go!
Chapter completed!
