Chapter 109 Fire Heart Jade (Third update to ask for monthly votes)
Five walnut-sized balls, the outside is crystal clear like glass, the inside has a red light that flickers like fire, and the texture is fine and hard like jade.
Gao Xian had seen this kind of thing in the inheritance of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu: Fire Heart Jade.
This is made of special jade material, with underground spiritual fire sealed inside and rune restrictions on the outside. It is a very special magical weapon.
After being sealed for a long time, the underground spiritual fire was integrated into the jade material and transformed into a special spiritual object.
The Fire Heart Jade is the most important spiritual object for refining the mind in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu. Each Fire Heart Jade is sold at a price of one thousand spirit stones.
Moreover, having money does not necessarily mean you can buy it.
The Fire Heart Jade is strictly controlled within the Lianyun Sect to prevent outsiders from using it to practice the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
As a true disciple of the sect and with the support of the elder Nan Pingsong, it should not be difficult for Nan Zhengxing to obtain the Fire Heart Jade, and it won't cost too many spirit stones.
Nan Zhengxing should be refining his mind, so he carries the Fire Heart Jade with him.
Gao Xian was of course very surprised. Getting the Fire Heart Jade was equivalent to earning 5,000 spirit stones and also saved him a lot of trouble.
However, since he carries such an important spiritual object with him, Nan Zhengxing's status in the Nan family should be quite high.
Nan Zhengxing’s sudden death this time, I’m afraid the Nan family will not let it go.
Gao Xian thought to himself that he had done a clean and efficient job this time, and even if others were to suspect him, they would first suspect the woman who did it.
Once the woman died, the Nan family would never be able to trace the blame back to him.
He was secretly glad that he was cautious enough and did not kill Nan Zhengxing himself. Otherwise, it would be a troublesome matter.
Nan Zhengxing was quite rich. In addition to the Fire Heart Jade, he had more than 300 spirit stones in his storage bag.
The sword looked like a top-grade one, and the robe looked pretty good too. As for the other elixirs, magic tools, magic talismans, etc., they were not worth much.
Amidst the chaos of chores, Gao Xian found an ancient book.
The texture of the black scroll is as tough as leather, yet has the feel of paper, which makes it look very special.
There are five cloud patterns written on the scroll.
The cloud pattern originated from ancient runes and is named because its shape resembles flowing clouds.
Each cloud pattern has a special meaning and can carry magical power.
Whether it is magic, talisman making, weapon refining or even alchemy, the use of these cloud patterns is inevitable.
It is said that in ancient times, sects would use cloud patterns to record secret methods of inheritance.
Any normal cultivator would learn some basic cloud patterns. Gao Xian had also studied cloud patterns seriously, so he had no problem identifying ordinary cloud patterns.
The five cloud patterns on the book cover combined mean: Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Method.
Gao Xian remembered that Nan Zhengxing had mentioned this secret method before. He wanted to use the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon method to absorb Zhou Yuling's cultivation!
It turned out to be an evil secret method that used Kun Xiu as the cauldron.
Humph, that deserves even more criticism! Gao Xian simply flipped through it. Although it was an unorthodox secret method, the contents were all recorded in cloud patterns. It was extremely profound and complicated, leaving him confused.
This secret technique was much more complicated than he had imagined, and it would be difficult to get started without putting in some effort.
Gao Xian holds the Mirror of Love and Lust in his hand, and he likes this kind of powerful yet unconventional magic the most.
He first put away the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Technique, and then went to call Qinnan over.
When Zhu Qinnan came over and saw the table full of magical instruments and items, she knew that Gao Xian had gone out to kill people again.
She casually picked up the sword and took a look at it. It was a first-class top-grade sword. She said helplessly, "Who did you kill again?"
Gao Xian whispered in Zhu Qiniang's ear: "Nan Zhengxing, the great-grandson of Nan Pingsong."
"ah?!"
Zhu Qinnan's face immediately became serious.
"Why kill him? Nan Pingsong is a master who teaches martial arts. Even if he is about to die, he still has a high status in Lianyun Sect. Judging from the magic weapon he is wearing, I'm afraid he is a true disciple of Lianyun Sect!"
"It's like this, this person had bad intentions towards Zhou Yuling, so I stood up for what was right..."
Gao Xian briefly recounted the events, and was particularly brief about the part with Zhou Yuling, mainly talking about Nan Zhengxing's various evil deeds.
Zhu Qinnan didn't believe in such things as being brave and righteous. She knew that Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling had a close and ambiguous relationship, so it was normal for Gao Xian to help Zhou Yuling.
Killing Nan Zhengxing was a bit troublesome. Fortunately, Gao Xian had some sense and did not do it himself.
With that female cultivator standing in front, it was indeed difficult to track them down.
"As it concerns the life and death of a true disciple, Lianyun Sect will never let it go easily."
Zhu Qinnan carefully examined the sword and robe, and didn't find any secret marks on them, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Dazzling Sword and the Canglan Robe are both top-grade first-class items. Together they can be sold for 1,600 Spirit Stones. But these things are a bit eye-catching, so I have to wait for a while before I can sell them separately..."
Zhu Qinnan couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed easy to make money this way, but it was not the right way.
She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have taken Gao Xian to kill people.
Originally, Gao Xian was to build up his courage, but now, he has been turned into a murderer!
Zhu Qinnan was a little confused as to how Gao Xian could possess these two opposite qualities of being both cowardly and ruthless!
Gao Xian knew what Qi Niang was thinking when he saw her hesitate to speak. He held Qi Niang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation. If this person wasn't vicious, I wouldn't have done it. I'll just stay at home from now on."
"Don't go out for the next few months."
Zhu Qiniang took out a jade slip from her storage bag and handed it to Gao Xian, "You have successfully condensed the lung orifice, and the sharp gold energy is now at its peak. This Gengjin sword and shield is a first-class, top-grade spell that I found specifically for you."
Gao Xian laughed dryly: "First-class, top-grade, Qi Niang, you really think highly of me."
"It is difficult for ordinary practitioners to master the Gengjin Sword and Shield even if they are at the ninth level of Qi training. You are a genius in magic, so this will not be a problem for you."
Zhu Qinnan has always felt that Gao Xian has an extraordinary talent in magic. Although the Gengjin sword and shield are extremely difficult to practice, they are just right for Gao Xian.
What could Gao Xian say? He could only nod his head in agreement. He would practice slowly at first, and if he couldn't do it well, Qi Niang couldn't say anything to him.
The next day at noon, Gao Xian was resting in bed with his eyes closed after lunch when he heard someone pushing the door open.
The other person's footsteps were as gentle as a cat's. Gao Xian did not open his eyes to see, but through the sound of footsteps, the friction of clothes, and the floating faint fragrance, he naturally constructed the other person's slender and light body posture in his sea of consciousness.
This is not a spiritual scan, but a comprehensive judgment based on the keen senses of the ears, nose and skin.
The person who came was Zhou Yuling. She came in quietly and wanted to scare Gao Xian.
Without waiting for Zhou Yuling to make a move, Gao Xian naturally stretched out his hands and embraced Zhou Yuling's slender waist, then skillfully put his mouth close to hers, blocking out all of Zhou Yuling's screams.
“Ah, well…”
Zhou Yuling was intoxicated for a while and suddenly remembered the important matter. She suddenly opened her eyes and pushed Gao Xian's face away. Seeing Gao Xian's mischievous and teasing eyes, she kicked Gao Xian's calf in embarrassment.
"You are becoming more and more obscene. I don't know who you learned this from."
"Didn't you teach them all?"
Gao Xian smiled and said, "Besides, you were the one who offered yourself to me, but you blame me."
Zhou Yuling's delicate face showed some doubt: "You look like you are in a good mood?"
"Um?"
Gao Xian looked puzzled, "Of course I feel good when I see you. What's the problem?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhou Yuling suddenly lowered her voice and asked nervously, "Brother, did you kill Nan Zhengxing?"
"ah?"
Gao Xian was surprised, "Nan Zhengxing is dead?"
He turned around and said happily: "It's good that he died. It saved me from having to do anything. Haha..."
Zhou Yuling looked at Gao Xian with some suspicion, but judging from his reaction, it seemed normal.
But she always felt something was wrong. Gao Xian had just told her that he wanted to kill Nan Zhengxing, and Nan Zhengxing was killed just a few days later. It was too much of a coincidence.
She asked quietly, "It's really not you?"
Gao Xian lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "To tell you the truth, I killed him. Don't tell anyone else!"
"Pooh!"
After Gao Xian said this, Zhou Yuling didn't believe it. "You must be kidding! Nan Zhengxing was stabbed to death by a bitch from Feihuayuan. It's already spread everywhere..."
"That was also my order." Gao Xian said seriously.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, it will be a big trouble."
Zhou Yuling covered Gao Xian's mouth and said seriously, "Nan Zhengxing is the true disciple of Lianyun Sect and has an important position in the Nan family. It is said that the ancestor will rush over to deal with this matter personally. We can't get involved in this matter!"
Gao Xian's heart trembled. The ancestor Zhou Yuling mentioned was of course Nan Pingsong, a great foundation-building cultivator and the elder who passed on the skills of Lianyun Sect.
This guy is almost three hundred years old. I don’t know how many great-grandchildren he has. He actually showed up in person for Nan Zhengxing. He really needs to be careful.
When Zhou Yuling heard that Nan Zhengxing was killed, she hurried to find Gao Xian to confirm. She felt that Gao Xian had nothing to do with the incident and was relieved.
She said, "Stay at home and don't go out these few days. Don't come to see me. I will come to see you after the ancestor leaves. Be good..."
Before leaving, Zhou Yuling took the initiative to kiss Gao Xian again and gave him a wink, "Be good and obedient, and you will be rewarded."
Gao Xian knew that Zhou Yuling was just talking. She had very strong self-control and would not do anything rash just for the sake of temporary happiness.
After seeing Zhou Yuling off, Gao Xian sat on the bed and recalled what happened last night. The only flaw was Nan Zhengxing's body.
Used pills may leave some traces. The Passion Pill and Yin Yang Qi Pill should be hidden well.
However, the person is dead, so it is not easy to find any remaining traces of the elixir from it.
Other than that, there was nothing else that could be connected to him.
This was also the reason why he did not tell the truth to Zhou Yuling. Although Zhou Yuling was smart, she was too young and had a relationship with Nan Zhengxing, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
Zhou Yuling knows nothing, and this is the best protection for her.
Qi Niang was different. He needed Qi Niang to help him deal with the aftermath and sell the stolen goods. If Qi Niang knew nothing, it would be easy for problems to arise.
Gao Xian treated people differently not because of any difference in relationship, but out of practical considerations.
Zhou Yuling was right. From now on, he should stay at home and not go out.
He took out the jade slip of the Gengjin sword and shield and read the spells in the jade slip through his spiritual sense.
The Gengjin Sword and Shield is indeed a very complex gold spell, which requires the condensation of thirty-six Gengjin sword lights into a shield.
Condensing a Gengjin sword light and throwing it out like a flying knife, it was just a first-level low-grade spell.
The difficulty of condensing a stable three-foot Gengjin sword light increased tenfold. The difficulty of condensing thirty-six Gengjin sword lights increased tenfold again.
The difficulty of combining the thirty-six Gengjin sword lights into a stable sword and shield structure increased tenfold.
Gao Xian can remember all the techniques of Gengjin Sword and Shield by learning them through jade slips, but it takes time to understand them. It takes even more time to understand and master them in depth.
Gao Xian studied the Gengjin sword and shield for an entire afternoon, and became dizzy but made little progress.
He glanced at the front of Fengyue Baojian and saw that he didn't have the Gengjin sword and shield, proving that he hadn't really gotten started yet.
"It's a bit difficult..."
Gao Xian flipped through the Mirror of Love and Lust, and suddenly he had an idea. The Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire can be combined with Flame Bombs and Ice Arrows, and the Yin-Yang Wheel can be combined with the Geomagnetic Wheel.
He can find a spell that matches the Gengjin sword and shield.
Gao Xian thought of the Ruyi Golden Rope in the "Secrets of Dongbin", which is a low-level gold magic.
Well, it is to use the gold magic power to condense into ropes to tie people up, or use it as a whip to whip people.
The golden rope condensed by this small spell is very unstable and can only be used for games.
He had stopped practicing after he had mastered the basics, mainly to save human energy.
There are still 19,200 human spiritual lights on the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, and it will reach 20,000 points in less than ten days.
Gao Xian felt reluctant when he thought about this. It would be of no use to learn the Gengjin sword and shield, so he had better endure it.
When the Great Puppetry Divine Technique reaches the Grandmaster level, perhaps I will be qualified to compete with the Foundation Establishment level...
