Chapter 145: Straight hook (also monthly ticket tilde)
Gao Xian was at home refining elixirs every day, and made a large amount of Lujiaosan and Tiangui Dan.
That's it, both types of elixirs tend to be in short supply.
Lianyung City is much bigger than Pegasus Ji. Although there are many competitions from medicine halls, Lujiaosan and Tianguidan have swept all opponents with their super high quality, dominating the two major markets of aphrodisiac and beauty.
Changshengtang also has distribution channels to surrounding cities, and the shipment volume of these channels is much higher than that of Lianyuncheng.
As the reputation of the two elixirs is getting better and better, ordinary cultivators now have to pay a higher price to buy these two elixirs.
Gao Xian was refining alchemy and practicing all day long, but he was too busy, dizzy, and physically and mentally exhausted.
The only thing that can comfort him is that a large amount of humane spiritual light comes in every day, which is more valuable than spiritual stones.
He had already upgraded his transformation technique to the full master level, and his speed and strength had increased by about 10%. His physical strength had also increased significantly, and his lifespan had been increased by five years.
He didn't know where to use the remaining human aura.
Shadowless robe is of course the first choice, but it requires too much humane aura and needs to be accumulated for a period of time.
Others, such as the Red Dragon Moon Swallowing Technique and the Zhengyang Spear, can improve spiritual consciousness, but they are not cost-effective.
The Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire can directly increase the power of ice arrows and flame bullets, but no matter how much you add, it will be difficult to threaten the foundation-building monks.
Gao Xian decided to wait first. He wasn't going out anyway and there was no need to rush to increase his strength.
The top priority is to call Da Niu and liberate him from the complicated manual labor.
Well, by the way, I brought the little black cat. He kind of misses this gadget.
Gao Xian didn't wait for the message from Daniel, but Chunxiang came to the door first, saying that his wife had something important to do with him, and asked him to come over immediately.
Out of caution, Gao Xian had someone notify Zhu Qiniang before going out. He took Chunxiang and took a Qingluoyu to Xu's house.
As soon as he arrived at the atrium, Gao Xian saw Xu Lingyun sitting in the main hall. This man was wearing a red robe as red as fire, and his face was gloomy and solemn, making him easily identifiable.
Xu Lingyun had never seen him, but he had seen Xu Lingyun take action at Pegasus Collection. He was quite impressed by the Fire Cloud Secret Technique activated by this great foundation-building monk.
Gao Xian killed Xu Lingyun's tribe and was very wary of this person. Meeting Xu Lingyun at his teacher's house made him even more uneasy.
But now that we're here, we can't just turn around and leave.
Gao Xian sighed inwardly, this teacher's wife is a bit of a trap!
He bravely walked into the main hall and first greeted Bai Yurong respectfully.
Bai Yurong stood up to greet Gao Xian with a smile on her face. She introduced to Gao Xian: "This is Mr. Xu Lingyun, who is also your master's cousin. I came here specifically to see you this time."
Gao Xian was a little surprised that his cheap teacher was actually related to Xu Lingyun!
It was this relative who conspired to steal his teacher's "Three Yuan Dan Sutra". Bai Yurong seemed to know nothing about this?
Judging from Bai Yurong's tone and demeanor, she seems to be quite close to Xu Lingyun!
Of course Xu Lingyun didn't know Gao Xian. He looked Gao Xian up and down and said, "Are you Gao Xian?"
Gao Xian nodded. He was calm on the surface, but he was murmuring in his heart.
What happened that night was so crisp and clear that Xu Lingyun had to be a god to be able to confirm that it was Xu Shengye who killed him in such a short period of time.
Judging from Xu Lingyun's appearance, he didn't look like he was here to seek revenge.
"Sure enough, he is a talented person with extraordinary grace."
Xu Lingyun complimented him casually, then he changed the subject and said, "Master You and I are like brothers. His disciples are my disciples."
Gao Xian looked at Xu Lingyun in astonishment. What did this old man mean? Could it be that he wanted to accept him as his disciple?
Xu Lingyun said calmly: "If something happens to my cousin, I will be your teacher from now on. Don't worry, I will never let Zhu Qiniang bully you."
Bai Yurong said from the side: "Xiao Xian, the third master is the elder of the inner sect. He can give you the identity of the true disciple of the sect. This is not a hundred times better than being an alchemist in the Changsheng Hall..."
Gao Xian was speechless. Bai Yurong did it for his own good. But Bai Yurong didn't know about his relationship with Qiniang, but she did bad things out of good intentions!
Xu Lingyun smiled reservedly, "Be my disciple and I will never treat you unfairly."
Seeing that Gao Xian still hadn't responded, he couldn't help but frown. This kid was a bit ignorant.
He could only remind Gao Xian: "Why don't you kneel down to worship me!"
Gao Xian bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Third Master, for your kindness. My teacher's life or death is uncertain, and I cannot change his family."
At this moment, he couldn't refuse directly, so he could only carry Xu Mingyuan out.
Respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is the right principle wherever you put it.
Xu Lingyun's face suddenly darkened: "I am a great foundation-building monk, but I still can't be your master?!"
His tone became a bit more cold and stern. The spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monk continued to be released outwards, and the powerful mana surged like a wave.
Xu Lingyun's magic power was not moving, but the power that diffused from the magic power was extremely violent.
At his level of cultivation, he can be said to be bossy to Qi practitioners, and there is no need to consider any means and strategies at all. If Gao Xian is not obedient, then he will be forced to do so!
Before he finished speaking, someone outside the door shouted: "Gao Xian is my man, no one dares to touch him."
This man's voice is deep and slightly hoarse, but if you listen carefully, it has a charming charm.
Falling in Xu Lingyun's ears, the sound was like thunderous thunder, shaking the hairs all over his body to stand on end.
The yellow figure flashed, and Zhu Qiniang flew down from the sky to the door. She held the gold-leaf sword at her waist, and her beautiful and beautiful features were full of cold murderous aura.
After receiving the news, she was afraid that something might happen to Gao Xian, so she hurried to Xu's house. She happened to encounter Xu Lingyun threatening Gao Xian, and she immediately became angry.
"Zhu Qiniang."
Xu Lingyun looked surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Qiniang to come over so quickly and stand up for Gao Xian so forcefully.
When Zhu Qiniang and Ren Baichao were dueling, he was also watching the battle.
This woman, who had just built a foundation, was extremely tough and fierce in the battle. She seriously injured Ren Baichao on the second floor of the foundation on the spot, forcing the two-hundred-year-old man to admit defeat in embarrassment.
That battle left a very deep impression on Xu Lingyun.
It's not that Xu Lingyun was afraid of Zhu Qiniang, but he was still a bit wary.
He stared at Zhu Qiniang and said, "What, you want to go against me?"
Zhu Qiniang said categorically: "If you dare to touch Gao Xian, I will kill you!"
Xu Lingyun was furious. A woman who had just established the foundation dared to speak so brazenly that she wanted to kill him!
He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and showed murderous intent in his eyes. Zhu Qiniang did not give in at all, her bright green eyes shining with an unusually sharp light.
The two great foundation-building monks activated their mana, and two invisible forces of mana clashed in the small room.
Bai Yurong was pressed tightly against the wall by the two forces of magic. Her whole body was about to be crushed and she couldn't breathe.
She was extremely shocked. What charm did Gao Xian have that made Zhu Qiniang so worried that she would even fight Xu Lingyun for him?
Look at Gao Xian's standing posture holding his sword again. He is tall and straight with a sharp edge, and his eyes are shining like stars. His grace seems to be not much worse than that of the two foundation-building monks.
Bai Yurong's mood was even more complicated. The Gao Xian in front of her was full of charm and heroic appearance. However, it was completely different from the Xiaoxian in her memory. They looked like two people!
When Zhu Qiniang and Xu Lingyun were getting more and more powerful, Xu Lingyun suddenly let out a cold snort and rose into the sky.
Xu Lingyun's whole body flashed with red aura, and like a burning fire cloud, it suddenly broke through the roof and flew away into the air.
The violent magic power released by Xu Lingyun exploded a large hole in the roof, and fragments of broken beams, purlins, and tiles flew into the sky.
The main hall was originally decorated in a rather elegant style, but now it was dusty and in a mess.
Bai Yurong looked complicated, but she didn't know what to say in front of Zhu Qiniang.
Gao Xian sighed and said to Bai Yurong: "Master's wife, Xu Lingyun is interested in my alchemy skills, so he wants to accept me as his disciple. This person is insidious, it's better for Master's wife to stay away from him in the future."
He also figured it out now. Xu Lingyun came here specially to rob someone. In the final analysis, he was interested in his ability to make alchemy.
A great foundation-building monk cannot resist the temptation of tens of thousands of spiritual stones a year!
Gao Xian said: "I'd better take the first step to prevent Xu Lingyun from causing trouble again."
Bai Yurong sighed: "That's fine."
She carefully glanced at Zhu Qiniang outside the door and whispered: "Xu Lingyun is narrow-minded. If you offend him, you must be careful. After all, it is my lack of thinking that has caused so many things."
Bai Yurong didn't know the relationship between Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang, but she had a vague guess in her heart, but she couldn't say much in front of Zhu Qiniang.
"Master Wife is also doing it for my own good. I just don't know the situation."
Gao Xian comforted Bai Yurong, saluted and followed Zhu Qiniang back to the backyard of Changsheng Hall.
When they arrived at home, Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really dangerous today. Xu Lingyun was the elder of the inner sect of Lianyun Sect, and his identity was very important. It might not be difficult for the two of them to work together to kill Xu Lingyun, but there was no way to deal with the consequences after killing Xu Lingyun, so they could only flee the Lianyun Sect in panic.
For Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang, this was a huge loss that was difficult to accept. Fortunately, Xu Lingyun gave up.
Zhu Qiniang said: "I also heard that Xu Lingyun is narrow-minded, I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Gao Xian said: "We can't kill Xu Lingyun now."
They had just fallen out with Xu Lingyun, and then Xu Lingyun died. The cause and effect relationship was so clear that anyone would suspect that it was them.
He thought for a moment and said: "The elders of the inner sect must also abide by the sect's order. As long as we catch Xu Lingyun's mistakes, we can catch him..."
August 15th is traditionally the day when the Aoki airship returns from Pegasus.
Yesterday, Gao Xian received a letter from Daniel, saying that he would arrive in Lianyung City by airship today.
Gao Xian was very happy about this. Daniel was down-to-earth and hard-working, and he was a good worker.
Especially for low-level elixirs such as Lujiao San and Tiangui Dan, Da Niu can complete 90% of the work independently. Once Da Niu comes, it can help him save a lot of time.
For this reason, Gao Xian specifically told Zhu Ying and arranged for Qing Luoyu to pick up Daniel outside the city.
I haven’t seen him for a month, but Daniel still looks honest and simple.
Maybe it was because there were too many people in the cockpit, and Da Niu was so crowded that his hair was disheveled and his clothes were disheveled. He looked like an adulterer who had been raided during a surprise inspection.
He was also holding a little black cat in his arms. This little thing must have been frightened by too many people. It was squeezed into the big cow's arms and looked around with its eyes exposed.
Daniel looks so poor that even people soliciting business are too lazy to pay attention to him.
Daniel, who got off the airship, was obviously a little disoriented. He looked around blankly, not knowing where to go.
"Daniu, here it is."
Gao Xian said hello, and then Daniel saw Gao Xian in green clothes and sword.
Daniel hurriedly ran to Gao Xian, and he greeted him with a naive smile: "Brother."
Then, there was nothing more to say.
Gao Xian knew Da Niu's temperament, so he smiled and patted Da Niu on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat well and catch the wind for you."
After getting into the Qingluoyu, Daniel felt a little embarrassed. Because the furnishings inside were exquisite and clean, he felt that he was not worthy of sitting in the car.
Gao Xian casually pulled the little black cat over. The little guy was still a little reluctant. He stroked the little guy twice with his electro-photovoltaic dragon hand. Then it lay there quietly and submissively, letting Gao Xian play with it.
Gao Xian saw that Da Niu was a little nervous, so he comforted him casually: "This is Qiniang's car, you can build it as you like, it will be fine."
He said to Zhu Ying who was driving outside: "Excuse me, please go home."
The Qingluoyu circled around outside, inevitably attracting the attention of many people. Especially those who were interested knew that the Qingluoyu was Zhu Qiniang's car.
Daniel was particularly satisfied with the arrangement of crossing the courtyard, and walked back and forth in the yard excitedly.
After Gao Xian left, he had been looking after the house in Pegasus. Without Gao Xian's guidance, he had used the alchemy furnace to refine elixirs twice.
They are all finished, but the difference between Lu Jiao Powder and Tian Gui Dan and Gao Xian's are too big.
This also made Da Niu very depressed, and he felt that he had no talent for alchemy. Once Gao Xian and Qiniang left, they probably had no intention of paying attention to him anymore.
After receiving the letter from Gao Xian, Daniel was extremely happy. When he arrived at Lianyuncheng, he saw that everything had been arranged for him. He was both excited and moved.
Gao Xian and Daniel chatted about the situation in Pegasus, mainly asking about Zhou Ye's situation.
The old man lost his antlers and made extra money, and he also made a good living by selling talismans.
As for Zhou Yuling's situation, that is not something that Daniel can know.
In the evening, Gao Xian decided to take Daniel out for a nice meal.
He didn't know much about Lianyuncheng. He had eaten at Chunfeng Restaurant once and it felt pretty good.
In the dim twilight, Gao Xian and Da Niu quietly slipped out from the side door of Zhu's house. Gao Xian also wore a bamboo hat and changed into a black Xuanbing robe.
Xu Lingyun suffered a loss. He spent a lot of money to bribe several servants of the Zhu family. Today Gao Xian went out to pick up people, and he received the news. So he ran back to Lianyung City just to see if there was any chance.
Just as he expected, Gao Xian couldn't help but go out!
He sneered, "It's okay for Gao Xian to stay at Zhu's house. With the protection of the magic circle, if he tried to do something, the noise would be too great, and he might not be able to succeed."
If Gao Xian dares to go out, he is really asking for death.
That day he was forced to retreat by Zhu Qiniang. When he got home, the more he thought about it, the more humiliated he became. The dignified elder of the inner sect was actually forced to retreat by a woman.
This breath of suffocation made him extremely uncomfortable, and it also gave him a murderous intention. Since he couldn't get it, he simply destroyed it. Not only could he vent his anger, but he could also eliminate his competitors, killing two birds with one stone.
As for Zhu Qiniang, he is really not afraid of her.
Changshengtang was seizing the market, and many people disliked Zhu Qiniang. If Zhu Qiniang dared to cause trouble again, they would join forces to kill her.
Lianyun Sect is their sect, and it is not their turn for a foreign foundation-building monk to show off his power!
Xu Lingyun called his subordinate Xu Jiufeng: "Take two people to Chunfeng Tower. Kill Gao Xian and do it neatly."
"Yes." Xu Jiufeng responded without hesitation.
Xu Jiufeng is at the ninth level of Qi training. He is forty-seven years old. His cultivation is very pure and he is good at fighting.
He knew that Gao Xian was in the middle stage of Qi training, was an alchemist, and was not very young.
It couldn't be easier for him to kill such a young alchemist.
In order to prevent accidents, he also brought two companions with him, both of whom were masters in the late stages of Qi training.
Xu Jiufeng brought his two companions to Chunfeng Tower. He threw a spiritual stone to the companion and asked Gao Xian where he would eat.
The man didn't care what Xu Jiufeng wanted to do with Gao Xian. He collected the spirit stones and excitedly led Xu Jiufeng to a single room on the second floor.
Xu Jiufeng sent the waiter away. He and his two companions exchanged glances, and each activated the protective spells on their robes.
After getting ready to take action, Xu Jiufeng nodded to his two companions, silently drew his sword, pushed open the door and rushed in.
The single room was not big. Gao Xian and Daniu were standing on two sides. They were covered with a layer of faint golden light, which was obviously the result of the use of golden light.
Zhu Qiniang, dressed in a gorgeous gold-red robe, sat on the main seat. Her expression was indifferent and calm, and her bright green eyes were deep and cold.
His posture is majestic, cold and aloof, just like a god who judges life and death.
Xu Jiufeng and his two companions were stunned together. The three of them had all seen Zhu Qiniang's duel and were extremely impressed by the tyranny and bravery of this female foundation-building monk.
Before coming, Xu Lingyun made it very clear that Zhu Qiniang was at Jinxia Peak, so why did she appear here? Judging from Zhu Qiniang's appearance, she was just waiting for them to come.
Xu Jiufeng wanted to explain a few words, but with the gleaming sword in his hand, he was afraid that nothing he could say would win the other party's trust.
Just when Xu Jiufeng was in a daze, Zhu Qiniang shouted: "Sneaky people deserve to die."
Her voice was not loud, but what triggered it was the roar of the thunderous lion, her natal magical power.
The sound waves struck Xu Jiufeng and the others like thunder, and their protective shields shattered like bubbles being popped.
The deep sound of thunder erupted after penetrating into the ears of Xu Jiufeng and the three of them. The first time the fierce sound of thunder agitated, the most fragile eyes of the three people burst together.
After the thunderous sound rose and fell several times, the skulls of the two cultivators behind Xu Jiufeng were not shattered, but the internal tissues of their skulls were shattered into a mass of rotten debris, and dirty blood flowed out from their seven orifices.
Only Xu Jiufeng survived, not because of his high cultivation level, but because Zhu Qiniang deliberately let him live.
Gao Xian, who was watching from the sidelines, now had a happy smile on his face.
Xu Lingyun is really impatient, he bites when he throws the hook!
Daniel was dumbfounded. How come someone was killed just for a meal? Why is Lianyuncheng more dangerous than Pegasus!
Zhu Qiniang grabbed the back of Xu Jiufeng's neck and lifted him up, um, just like lifting a cat.
Xu Jiufeng had passed out and his body was as limp as a worm.
Zhu Qiniang said to Gao Xian: "I will go to the sect leader to comment. You take Daniel home first."
In fact, the entire Lianyun City is divided into areas of influence based on the foundation-building monks. Under the auspices of the sect, Lianyun City has formed a relatively stable order, but this order is difficult to restrain the foundation-building monks.
Just like Zhu Qiniang casually kills several cultivators, as long as no foundation-building cultivator comes forward, no one will dare to come to settle accounts with her. As an elder of the inner sect, Xu Lingyun has a much higher status than Zhu Qiniang.
However, Lianyun Sect was able to restrain Xu Lingyun.
As the sect leader, Yun Taihao would deal with Xu Lingyun and give them an explanation, even if it was for his own sake!
