Chapter 130: Visiting

In May, the midday sun was already somewhat poisonous.

Gao Xian sat lazily under the eaves, listening to the cicadas chirping in the trees.

Knowing that Zhu Changsheng is coming to Pegasus, but not knowing when he will come, this is very frustrating.

This uneasy feeling was like when he was a child and didn't finish his homework and didn't know when the teacher would check it.

He quickly refined a batch of pills, and then he was no longer in the mood to refine pills.

I practice sword whenever I have free time these days, and besides that I study Fengyue Baojian.

From September to May, in more than seven months, he accumulated more than 20,000 points of humanitarian aura.

Gao Xian hasn't figured out how to use these human inspirations yet.

Mainly, the Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hands and the Great Puppet Magic are both at the perfect level of the Grandmaster, and there is no room for improvement.

Gao Xian still had some illusions, thinking that these two secret techniques could break through the bottleneck, and he could quickly improve his strength by adding points.

According to his summary, the secret method to break through the bottleneck is either due to intense stimulation or a sudden enlightenment.

Both of these breakthrough modes are difficult to replicate and control.

He was a little hesitant at this moment, should he use up all his human spiritual light now to improve his strength first, or wait a little longer?

After careful consideration, Gao Xian decided to wait a little longer.

Only the Shadowless Robe and the Zhengyang Spear are worth adding points to. Even if all 20,000 points of human spiritual light are invested into them, there is no way to bring about a qualitative change in the two spells.

Then, there is little point in consuming a large amount of humanitarian spiritual light.

If Zhu Changsheng arrives, there will be enough time to add some extra supplies! Gao Xian didn't want to fight with Zhu Changsheng. He made these plans in advance just to be prepared for any eventuality.

As long as he can bear it, he will definitely bear it.

I have tolerated the 996 working hours, I have tolerated working overtime for free, I have tolerated the delayed payment of monthly salary, I have tolerated being scolded like a grandson, I have tolerated being cut in line, I have tolerated being punched in the face.

I guess Zhu Changsheng wouldn't be that unbearable, right?

Gao Xian was thinking about how to face Zhu Changsheng when he heard someone talking outside the door.

An idea suddenly occurred to him and he activated the Flower-Seeing Mirror, allowing him to see the people outside clearly through the door.

There were seven people in total on the other side. The four standing in the front were relatively young. They were wearing robes and carrying swords, and there was a sense of arrogance between their brows.

The old man in the middle was thin, with short eyebrows and small eyes. His complexion was somewhat dull, and he had white hair. He was wearing a green robe that exuded a spiritual aura and looked extraordinary.

Especially the old man's small eyes, when they moved, there was a faint flash of electricity, which was breathtaking.

Gao Xian switched the Flower-Seeking Spirit Mirror to the Illuminating the Netherworld mode, and saw that the man's magic power was vibrant and intense like fire, much stronger than the six people next to him combined.

This person is actually a great monk who has established his foundation!

Gao Xian had never seen Zhu Changsheng, but Zhu Qinnan had described Zhu Changsheng's appearance and personality in detail to him.

There is no doubt that the old man outside is Zhu Changsheng. The people around him must be descendants of the Zhu family.

The two middle-aged men following Zhu Changsheng were obviously masters of the late stage of Qi training. Even the four young men were in the middle stage of Qi training.

Gao Xian was very surprised that Zhu Changsheng had arrived! The question was why did Zhu Changsheng come to him first instead of going to Changsheng Hall? Looking at the arrogant look between the brows of the young men, they had bad intentions.

A young man walked up to the door and knocked hard, making the door clang loudly.

Da Niu, who was resting in the west wing, heard the noise and ran out in a hurry.

Daniu also heard something wrong. A normal person wouldn't knock on the door so hard. He looked at Gao Xian with some uneasiness.

"Go ahead, open the door and see who it is."

Although Gao Xian knew who the other party was, he didn't know how to tell Daniu directly.

Since Zhu Changsheng has come to me, let’s have a chat.

Gao Xian touched the Qinglian Sword at his waist, thought for a while and decided not to put the sword away.

If it really doesn't work, you can only try your best. Putting it in the storage bag and then taking it out will waste a lot of time.

Da Niu opened the door, but before he could say anything, the young man knocked on the door and kicked Da Niu in the stomach, causing him to retreat more than ten steps.

"You deserve to die for making the old man wait for so long." The young man cursed with a fierce look on his face.

Daniu covered his stomach and tried to explain, but the kick seemed to have broken his intestines. The severe pain made him unable to speak and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Gao Xian saw that something was wrong with Daniu, so he stood up and supported Daniu. He looked at the young man with a sullen face and asked, "Who are you for? Why did you come up and start fighting? What's the grudge?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, pointed at his nose and said proudly: "Listen carefully, my name is Zhu Hongming, Zhu Hongan is my brother, now you know who I am, right?!"

"So he's a relative of Shopkeeper Zhu."

Gao Xian nodded, "So, what does it mean that you came here to hurt someone?"

"Still playing dumb!"

Zhu Hongming had a bad temper. When he heard Gao Xian say this, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to attack.

Several other young men also held swords in their hands, looking ready to kill someone.

The four of them acted together, and their ferocious momentum scared Da Niu.

Gao Xian's expression was very calm. He had no idea how many useless people in the middle stage of Qi training he had killed in the past year.

If they weren't afraid of Zhu Changsheng behind them, a few ice cones would have pierced those idiots to death in an instant.

Just as a few young men were about to fight, a middle-aged man behind them shouted, "Don't be so presumptuous."

Several young men, led by Zhu Hongming, took two steps back, bowed their heads slightly, and acted extremely humble.

Zhu Changsheng walked into the yard accompanied by two middle-aged men. The old man looked at Gao Xian and a half-smile appeared on his face.

"Little boy, you are Gao Xian, right?"

Gao Xian nodded. Before he could speak, the old man continued, "My name is Zhu Changsheng, the head of the Zhu family. You must have heard of my name."

"So it's the ancestor who has come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

The old man revealed his identity, and Gao Xian took two steps forward and bowed respectfully.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Whether in terms of age, status or cultivation, the old man is much stronger than him.

It's not shameful to be polite.

Zhu Changsheng smiled. He liked Gao Xian very much. He was calm in the face of change and did not get angry without reason. In terms of demeanor and bearing, he was much better than the younger generations of the Zhu family.

He said slowly, "He is handsome, polite and well-behaved. He is truly as handsome as jade. No wonder he could make Zhu Qiniang, who is as stony as wood, aroused."

When Gao Xian heard the old man's words, the smile on his face disappeared.

Obviously, Zhu Changsheng knew that he had a close relationship with Qi Niang. Moreover, the old man spoke in a bad tone.

There's no point in smiling again at this moment.

Gao Xian felt heavy in his heart, but after going through so much, he had become more shrewd.

He asked calmly, "Forgive me for my youth and ignorance. I don't know what the ancestor meant by this."

"You can still handle it calmly at this moment. You really have some bearing."

Zhu Changsheng now admired Gao Xian a little. Facing the pressure from a great foundation-building cultivator, he was able to remain neither humble nor arrogant. It was just that his shrewdness was extraordinary.

Well, he's not just an ordinary pretty boy! Zhu Hongming, who was standing nearby, couldn't help it. He shouted, "You and Zhu Qiniang, you two, are a pair of bastards. You colluded with each other and killed my brother, and you're still playing dumb!"

What surprised Zhu Hongming was that Gao Xian was not at all panicked when facing his accusations. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and showed a bit of anger.

Gao Xian ignored Zhu Hongming and said to Zhu Changsheng, "Grandmaster, how can you take such a ridiculous rumor seriously? Someone must have slandered you. Please investigate carefully."

"You fucking bastard!" Zhu Hongming was very angry at being ignored. He cursed and was about to draw his sword to attack.

Zhu Changsheng glanced at Zhu Hongming, and the boy bowed and retreated quickly, not daring to say anything. He was allowed to be a bad guy, but he was not allowed to interrupt without any respect.

Zhu Changsheng said to Gao Xian calmly: "Boy, don't talk nonsense in front of me.

"You refined Deer Horn Powder and Tiangui Pills, which sold well in Feima Market. Then, Hongan died. Haha, do you believe me if I say there is nothing wrong with this? I don't believe it."

Gao Xian remained silent. Since the old man had already determined the matter, there was no point in him explaining it. Instead, it would anger the old man.

Now let’s see what the old man says and what the rules are.

Zhu Changsheng was quite satisfied with Gao Xian's reaction. If Gao Xian continued to make ignorant excuses, he would teach him a lesson.

"You are the alchemist of Changsheng Hall. Deer Horn Powder and Tiangui Pill have been sold in Feima Market for three years, but Changsheng Hall has not earned any extra spirit stones from them."

Zhu Changsheng said: "I just assume that you sold 3,000 spirit stones a year, and you already owe our Zhu family 10,000 spirit stones."

The old man glanced at Gao Xian's Xuanshui robe and Qinglian sword. With his eyesight, he could tell that they were all of the first-grade upper grade, worth at least two or three thousand spirit stones.

A mere alchemist could actually afford a sword and robe worth thousands of spirit stones! All of it was spent on the Zhu family's money! Thinking of this, the old man who had lived for 170 years was a little angry. He said grimly, "Gao Xian, do you know your crime?!"

Just as Gao Xian was about to explain, the Qi from Zhu Changsheng's body burst out like flames. Gao Xian was hit by the fluctuation of the magic power and retreated seven or eight steps before he could stand firm.

Zhu Changsheng was a little surprised. He had originally intended to press Gao Xian to his knees when he activated his Qi, but he did not expect that this kid's Qi training was actually very pure, and he should have reached the fourth or fifth level.

Moreover, he responded extremely skillfully, and actually withstood the suppression of his Qingmu Gangqi, and resolved it by stepping back to release the force, thus avoiding the humiliation of kneeling on the spot.

Zhu Changsheng was a great monk who had established his foundation. After failing to hit the target with his first strike, it was naturally difficult for him to attack again.

However, Gao Xian looked pale and ugly, and his purpose of teaching Gao Xian a lesson and intimidating him had been achieved.

Gao Xian was not afraid of Zhu Changsheng, but he had just seen Zhu Changsheng so arrogantly release his Qi, which made him want to launch a sneak attack.

In the end, his reasoning suppressed his impulse, and he stepped back. But when Gao Xian thought about how he almost acted impulsively just now, he felt a little scared.

The opponent was not good at fighting, but he was still a great cultivator at the foundation building stage. If he missed the target with one strike, he would surely die.

There is no need to take such a risk! Zhu Changsheng felt that he had completely suppressed Gao Xian. He said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will refine pills for the Zhu family. If you perform well, I can forgive you and give you a chance to live..."
