The Beiji Palace was originally presided over by Chang Ning. After Tai Ning was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, he became the master of the Beiji Palace within a few years.
There is no other reason, it's just that the man behind Tai Ning is too powerful. Tai Ning must be given the greatest preferential treatment.
Chang Ning was devoted to practicing Taoism and did not like presiding over the Beiji Temple with its numerous affairs.
The place where Gao Xian and Tai Ning lived was Tianxuan Palace, the courtyard where Gao Xian came to visit Chang Ning.
The courtyard was quite simple and quiet, and Tai Ning didn't like it at first. But she knew Gao Xian liked peach blossoms, and there were several peach trees in the courtyard. When the flowers bloomed, they were very beautiful, so she decided to live here permanently.
It is already midsummer now. The peach blossoms have long fallen, and many small green peaches have grown on the peach trees. There is a unique freshness and interest under the shade of green leaves.
When Gao Xian heard that a woman in white was visiting, he knew it must be Shui Mingxia.
Tai Ning went out to greet him. He made a pot of tea on the wooden table next to the peach tree, waiting for his cheap apprentice whom he hadn't seen for two thousand years.
Strictly speaking, Shui Mingxia was actually his official disciple. Apart from Shui Mingxia, he had never accepted any other disciples.
Qingqing was half a master, but he had little interest in teaching and educating people. Even Qingqing mostly practiced on his own. He only provided a lot of resources, but did not give much personal guidance.
The same was true for Shui Mingxia. At that time, he didn't have time to teach her skills or guide her in her practice, so he even sent her to Tai Chi Sword Palace for further study.
The relationship between him and this direct disciple was very good, but it lacked a bit of intimacy.
Until Beihai entered the Taiyin Palace that time, he helped Shui Mingxia get the Taiyin Bingpo Hanguan Sword. This disciple was also very particular. He gave her the sword-raising gourd in return and also gave her the Shenxiao Sword Order.
It was through Shui Mingxia that Gao Xian learned about the Golden Book of Creation and the secret of the Heavenly Stage.
Those scenes seem to be right before my eyes, yet they happened two thousand years ago.
Gao Xian couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about this.
Tai Ning, wearing a dark blue robe, led the way and led a woman into the yard.
Tai Ning was soft and delicate, not tall but in proportion, and had a charming manner when walking. The woman following behind Tai Ning was half a head taller than Tai Ning, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Her appearance was not as delicate as Tai Ning's, but she was not less handsome than Tai Ning, but her facial features were more majestic.
She wore a gray-white long gown, a Taoist bun on her head, a gray-white scarf, and a four-foot-long sword at her waist. Her manners were free and easy like a man, but she also had the elegance and grace of a woman, with a strong personal charm.
This person is Shui Mingxia. After two thousand years, her demeanor and grace have already shown the demeanor of a great man. In contrast, although Tai Ning is a spirit, she looks like a little woman next to Shui Mingxia.
In terms of grace and demeanor, she was completely crushed by Shui Mingxia.
A dark golden dragon shadow flashed in Gao Xian's left eye, and he could already see a faint flash of a spirit wheel on Shui Mingxia's body, controlling the internal and external origins, and becoming one with the Taiyin Bingpo Cold Light Sword on his waist. It was obvious that he had already advanced to the seventh level, and his cultivation was pure and his spiritual consciousness was strong, three points better than Xuanming.
In fact, Gao Xian had already seen the mark of Bingpo Tianjun left by Shui Mingxia when he left his name in the Golden Book of Creation some time ago. It was not the name, but the pure Yang consciousness mark that contained Shui Mingxia's aura.
As for the other 300-odd seventh-rank masters, Gao Xian also took the opportunity to look at them. Even if he had never seen them before, he remembered the pure Yang spiritual auras corresponding to these names.
Whenever we meet again, we will always recognize each other.
Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Shui Mingxia bowed her head and said, "Disciple Shui Mingxia greets the teacher."
Gao Xian stood up and returned the greeting: "That was all in the past. You have already reached the seventh level. We are all fellow Taoists. There is no need to talk about master and disciple."
Tai Ning widened her eyes, she had actually recognized Shui Mingxia.
After all, Gao Xian only had this one disciple, and he was quite handsome. There was inevitably all kinds of discussions among the people in Xuanming Sect at that time.
She had a close relationship with Gao Xian, so she naturally paid more attention to Shui Mingxia. However, she was sent away by Gao Xian two thousand years ago and never returned. No one knew her whereabouts.
Tai Ning didn't care too much about it. As long as she was not Gao Xian's woman, it had nothing to do with her.
Who would have thought that after two thousand years, Shui Mingxia had already attained the seventh level of enlightenment?! At this moment, she really felt like she was dreaming and could not believe her ears.
She also knew that Gao Xian would never joke about such things. Looking at Gao Xian's equal attitude towards Shui Mingxia, it was even more telling.
Now people all over Jiuzhou are saying that Gao Xingjun killed Xuanming Tianjun and has achieved the seventh level of enlightenment. Tai Ning is surprised and happy about this rumor.
She was happy that Gao Xian advanced to the seventh level, but she was shocked that the gap between her and Gao Xian’s cultivation levels was getting bigger and bigger, and she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with Gao Xian in the future.
Tai Ning was actually full of curiosity when Gao Xian came over this time, but she finally held back and didn't ask. If Gao Xian didn't tell her about this kind of thing, she shouldn't ask.
It was not until this moment that Tai Ning was sure that Gao Xian was already a seventh-rank Heavenly Monarch! Tai Ning was already confused at this moment. She stood aside in a daze and saw that Shui Mingxia was still respectful, calling Gao Xian "teacher" and was not proud of herself because of the seventh rank.
Gao Xian didn't force it. At their level, there was no need to care about little things like titles and etiquette.
Just like he was polite and courteous to Xuan Yang, after all, he had received favors from others, so there was no need for him to put on airs just because of his high level of cultivation.
No matter what time, Xuan Yang, Dao Hong, and Sister Bai are all his predecessors, worthy of respect. There is nothing to say.
"sit."
Gao Xian asked Shui Mingxia to sit down, and without paying any attention to the silly Tai Ning, he personally poured Shui Mingxia a cup of tea.
"Thank you, teacher." Shui Mingxia said politely and then took a sip of tea.
Gao Xian said with some emotion: "More than two thousand years ago, Senior Bai instructed me to go to the mortal world to recruit disciples. At that time, I thought you were the reincarnation of my old friend.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"I didn't expect that he was the reincarnation of a seventh-level celestial monarch. He was able to retrieve the divine sword and return to the celestial realm during the changes in the world. This is great luck."
"Rather than saying it's luck, it's more like Senior Bai's care. It's also thanks to the teacher's extraordinary magical powers that I was able to get the sword back."
Shui Mingxia said this, and stood up again, bowed her head and saluted solemnly, "This great favor will be remembered in my heart."
"That's not necessary."
Gao Xian waved his hand: "It is destiny that we can have a master-disciple relationship."
He turned and said seriously: "It is quite dangerous to go to Langxiao Blessed Land. Are you willing to come with us?"
Shui Mingxia smiled gently: "Teacher is willing to help his disciples, how can I miss such a good thing."
"Senior Bai has also told us about the Divine Sky Jade Palace, right?" Gao Xian asked.
Shui Mingxia suppressed her smile and replied, "I am willing to accompany the teacher into the Jade Pivot Mirror."
"good."
Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this. If Shui Mingxia had not agreed, he would really not be able to find another seventh-level female cultivator.
Entering the Jade Pivot Mirror together does not mean that men and women must practice together. For high-level practitioners, even if they really practice together, it is just a kind of practice and is not a big deal at all.
Even if Shui Mingxia is his apprentice, it doesn't matter.
The most difficult part of this matter is that the Jade Pivot Mirror is very dangerous. A seventh-level cultivator who enters it can easily be deprived of his mind by his inner demons, and eventually be destroyed both physically and spiritually.
The higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to bear such a huge risk. Shui Mingxia agreed without hesitation and did not hold back, which was what he admired the most.
Gao Xian said: "Thanks to your help, otherwise this would never have been successful."
Shui Mingxia said seriously: "For me, only after going through the Jade Pivot Mirror training can I have a chance to advance to the eighth level."
"The world has changed dramatically, and cultivators like me can only move forward bravely. I would also like to thank my teacher for giving me this opportunity..."
Tai Ning could only see the two sides exchanging polite greetings, but he didn't know that Gao Xian and Shui Mingxia had already reached a cooperation intention.
Gao Xian and Shui Mingxia stayed in Xuanming Sect for a few days, then went to the East China Sea and headed straight for Langxiao Blessed Land...
