Shanggong Hall, elegant room.

The deacon Zhang Qing, who had fine eyebrows and narrow eyes, politely invited Gao Xian to take a seat and offered him some fragrant tea.

Zhang Qing took many good deed tokens and compared them one by one in the good deeds book.

After a while, Zhang Qing raised his head and smiled at Gao Xian: "Fellow Taoist, there are a total of five thousand and thirty-seven good deeds. That's right."

Gao Xian smiled, it would not be easy for so many people from the Zhu family to do good deeds together.

Zhang Qing asked: "I wonder what you want to exchange for?"

"I want to exchange for the foundation-building method of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu." Gao Xian said.

"Oh. Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. I'll go ask the hall master for instructions."

Zhang Qing stood up, nodded to Gao Xian, and quickly walked out of the quiet room.

After a while, Zhang Qingcai came back with a complicated expression.

As soon as Gao Xian saw Zhang Qing's expression, he felt that the situation was not good. But he didn't say anything and just waited quietly for Zhang Qing to speak.

Zhang Qing first bowed his hand to Gao Xian, then sighed deeply and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Fellow Taoist, I'm sorry, the foundation-building method of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu cannot be redeemed."

"Um?"

Gao Xian's face also looked a little ugly, "This is what the elder Chuan Gong said himself, why can't it work here?!"

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly, he was just a young deacon, but he didn't dare to stand in Zhu Qiniang's way.

When things became like this, it was most uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle.

He had no choice but to explain to Gao Xian respectfully: "Fellow Taoist, the hall master did not allow this, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Gao Xian stood up and said, "I'm going to ask your hall master. If you don't give me anything, you have to have a reason and an explanation!"

Zhang Qing was a little surprised. Their cousin Zhang Chunjiang was a great foundation-building monk. Zhu Qiniang didn't come this time, and Gao Xian, a pretty boy, actually had the courage to argue with Zhang Chunjiang!

However, this was a good thing, as it saved him from having to bow down and explain.

Zhang Qing asked with difficulty, "Fellow Taoist, do you really want to do this?"

Gao Xian glanced at this person coldly, his face as dark as water.

Zhang Qing stopped talking and led Gao Xian through the side door of the lobby and straight to the backyard.

After passing the second door, they turned around a huge screen wall and arrived at the open atrium.

A large pool was dug out in the middle of the atrium, in which various fish were kept, swimming in the green water waves, which was quite agile.

Therefore, the atrium of this huge pond is quite cool, and there is no fishy smell that often occurs in reservoirs.

A small bridge is built over the pool, leading directly to the main house.

There is also a tall ginkgo tree in the yard. Its crown is like an umbrella, covering most of the yard.

Zhang Chunjiang, who was tall and stout, was sitting on a chair under the shade of a tree, with a small coffee table beside him. He seemed to be enjoying tea and fish.

This big man wore a purple robe with his arms open, and he was not wearing any middle or small clothes underneath, exposing the thick black hair on his chest.

His bun was messy, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his thighs were spread casually, giving him a bohemian look.

Gao Xian had met Zhang Chunjiang at Pegasus, but of course, Zhang Chunjiang had never seen him.

At that time, he felt that Zhang Chunjiang's words were vulgar, but he had a kind of unbridled pride.

Seeing each other this time, Zhang Chunjiang felt more relaxed.

Gao Xian had seen so many cultivators, but Zhang Chunjiang was the only one who had the free and easy air of a Taoist.

He originally admired the other party, but the other party insisted on blocking his way. He couldn't bear this.

"My Excellency, Gao Xian, pays homage to Hall Master Zhang."

After Gao Xian cupped his fists and saluted, he said directly: "Hall Master Zhang, I exchange five thousand good deeds for the foundation-building method of the Five Elements Kung Fu. This is the sect's rule. Why don't you allow it?"

Zhang Chunjiang didn't even open his eyes, but rolled his eyes and glanced at Gao Xian.

Gao Xian, who is wearing green clothes and carrying a sword, has a slender and tall figure and handsome appearance. Standing there, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and his eyes are as bright as stars, and there is naturally a strong energy in his eyes.

Zhang Chunjiang glanced at him casually, but found that the man in front of him was quite dignified, which was very different from the rumors.

He couldn't help but let out a slight "Huh" in surprise, but he immediately returned to normal.

No matter how outstanding a young man is, he is just a small Qi practitioner.

Zhang Chunjiang was too lazy to pay attention to Gao Xian, but now he changed his mind.

He said directly: "You have offended Xu Lingyun. He won't let you exchange the skills. Of course I have to deal with this matter to my old friend. You don't need to talk nonsense."

Gao Xian had already guessed about this, but Zhang Chunjiang was a little angry when he said it to his face without hesitation.

This Zhang Chunjiang didn't take him seriously at all.

He was silent for a moment and said: "It's understandable for Hall Master Zhang to help his friends. I just want to ask, what's the reason and what's the rule if you don't exchange the skills?!"

Zhang Chunjiang was a little unhappy. He slowly sat up straight, opened his eyes and stared at Gao Xian.

Gao Xianping looked directly at Zhang Chunjiang, his eyes firm and steady.

He has seen Zhang Chunjiang's ability, and it is indeed better than Zhu Changsheng. But within the sect, he must abide by the rules, and Zhang Chunjiang should not think of messing around.

The other party wants to suppress him with his spiritual consciousness, but that is a delusion.

The light in Zhang Chunjiang's eyes shone for a moment and then quickly restrained. He originally wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to convince Gao Xian, but then he felt that bullying a child like this was too disrespectful.

He snorted and said, "Boy, don't be dissatisfied. Your good deeds are all done for you by others. You can't count them."

Gao Xian retorted: "The task of performing good deeds does not say that others cannot help."

"It won't work if I say no."

Zhang Chunjiang became a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Get out of here before I get angry."

Of course Gao Xian refused to let it go. He raised his voice and said, "Hall Master Zhang, you said that others helped me do good deeds. What evidence do you have?"

Zhang Chunjiang was really angry. This kid still dared to argue with him. The Zhu family helped him do good deeds, and no one in the sect knew about it.

He raised his thick eyebrows and was about to get angry.

Since Gao Xian killed Zhu Changsheng, he no longer has any respect for the foundation-building monks. He said calmly: "Why, Hall Master Zhang has nothing to say, so he starts to bully others?"

Zhang Chunjiang was a bit embarrassed to take action when Gao Xian used words to stop him.

He thought for a moment and said: "Boy, don't say that I bully you. There is an evil spirit in Dajiangfang, harming people everywhere. If you deal with the evil spirit within three months, I will give you a foundation-building method."

Before Gao Xian could speak, Zhang Chunjiang said again: "Zhu Qiniang can't take action. Otherwise, you will never get the foundation-building method in your life."

Gao Xian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."

He bowed his hand to Zhang Chunjiang and said, "Farewell."

Gao Xian walked away with a puff of his sleeves, leaving Zhang Chunjiang with a handsome and upright figure.

Zhang Qing on the side couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. This Gao Xian was too unruly. He dared to show off his face in front of Zhang Chunjiang!

Zhang Qing looked at Zhang Chunjiang again, only to find that the hall master was laughing so hard that he was a little confused.

Zhang Chunjiang couldn't help laughing even more happily when he saw Zhang Qing's confused look.

"Hahaha, this pretty boy is so brave, he dares to yell at me!"

Zhang Chunjiang said slowly to Zhang Qing: "But he has no brains. The evil spirit in Dajiangfang is very powerful. This kid just wanted to die in the past."

As he spoke, he lay down on the chair again and muttered to himself: "He chose this dead end by himself. After all, that woman can't blame me..."

When Gao Xian returned home, his anger had long since dissipated.

Ever since he offended Xu Lingyun, he knew that he would inevitably face difficulties when working in the sect.

What happened at Shanggong Hall this time was not too surprising to him.

After all, Xu Lingyun is also an elder of the inner sect, so it is not easy to stumbling upon him.

The last conditions Zhang Chunjiang offered were obviously an attempt to trick him. The other party was thinking too much!

Why would an evil spirit trick him?

With his current ability, he can kill even foundation-building evil spirits!

Gao Xian took out Fengyue Baojian and his eyes fell on Zhengyang Spear.

In the past few months, he had accumulated nearly 200,000 Dao auras, and together with the remaining ones, there were a total of 270,000 Dao auras.

More than 30,000 people cast their Taoist spiritual light, and the Zhengyang Spear immediately reached Grandmaster Consummation.

Zhengyang Spear: The invisible blazing spear is made by condensing spiritual consciousness with Yang Qi. It can refine divine will, break divine soul, and kill evil spirits (20000/20000 Grandmaster Perfection).

The upgrade of the Zhengyang Spear also increased the power of Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness by about 10% and increased his lifespan by ten years.

An increase in lifespan means an all-round enhancement of the body and soul, but this is an invisible enhancement that cannot be seen directly.

The 10% increase in spiritual consciousness may not seem like much, but his spiritual consciousness is already stronger than that of ordinary people in the initial stage of foundation building. This 10% increase is very impressive when quantified.

After all, spiritual consciousness is the foundation of a cultivator. When spiritual consciousness is strong, you can control more mana, cast more subtle spells, and attack more accurately and efficiently.

Gao Xian is quite satisfied with the upgrade effect of the Zhengyang Gun, but compared with the Daou Shenfa, the Zhengyang Gun seems to be quite inferior in all aspects.

Gao Xian didn't understand the reason for this for a while.

He entered the Xinxiang Temple and experienced the upgraded effects of the Zhengyang Gun in various aspects.

Enemies cannot be simulated in the Temple of Heart, and Gao Xian can only attack himself with the Zhengyang Spear.

With his powerful consciousness, even after receiving a blow from the Zhengyang Spear, he felt as if his brain had been penetrated by a red-hot iron rod. The severe pain was unbearable for him.

The blazing power of the sun on the Zhengyang Spear can do terrible damage to the soul.

Gao Xian has used the Nine Sun Talisman. From his perspective, Grandmaster Perfect's Zhengyang Spear is far more powerful than the Nine Sun Talisman, and it should have reached the second level of magic.

What's more, his spiritual power can now activate the Zhengyang Spear five times in a row.

The blazing power of the Zhengyang Spear can defeat evil spirits. Even evil spirits at the foundation level cannot withstand five consecutive hits of the Zhengyang Spear.

This time when I went on an adventure, I didn’t need to keep my aura of humanity. Gao Xian upgraded the Red Dragon Moon Swallowing Technique to the full level.

The main reason is that this secret method can enhance spiritual consciousness, but this little benefit is enough.

What surprised Gao Xian was that after the Red Dragon Moon Swallowing Technique reached the expert level, the amount of humane aura required for upgrade suddenly increased to 10,000 points.

Upgrading the Red Dragon Moon Swallowing Technique actually requires more humane aura than the Zhengyang Spear.

Gao Xian guessed that the Red Dragon Moon-Swallowing Technique was much higher level than the Zhengyang Spear, so upgrading would require more humane aura.

Fortunately, he has accumulated a large amount of humane aura, so he is no longer in the embarrassment when Pegasus gathers, and can upgrade various spells at will.

With the input of more than 80,000 human beings, the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon technique immediately reached the state of master perfection.

The red divine light flashed deep in Fengyue Baojian, turning into a flying red dragon.

In an instant, red light shot into the sky, completely engulfing Gao Xian's consciousness...
