Chapter 138: Book Delivery (Another 3rd Update!)
Gao Xian has practiced so many secret techniques and is quite experienced in this area.
The secret method to increase lifespan is either to strengthen the body or to strengthen the mind.
Most spells and secret techniques are of no benefit to the body and may even be harmful.
For example, ice arrows and flaming bombs, even if Gao Xian practices them to the master level, it will not benefit his body at all.
The Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon technique can increase lifespan, which should enhance spiritual awareness.
Gao Xian can now control his body very finely, and if his body is strengthened, he will definitely feel it.
On the other hand, Sister Lan also made a clear demonstration in Fengyue Baojian.
She mobilized her spiritual consciousness and transformed it into a long red dragon, which tumbled and danced in the air, looking quite imposing.
It also made Gao Xian suddenly realize that by mastering this secret method, he could use his spiritual consciousness to transform into a red dragon, which enhanced his spiritual power and thus increased his lifespan.
The red dragon transformed by divine consciousness is essentially the same as Sister Lan. After all, Sister Lan is also transformed by divine consciousness.
The difference is that Sister Lan is much higher than Chilong. So Sister Lan can also help him to condense his consciousness and transform into Chilong.
Spiritual consciousness is the foundation of cultivators!
Gao Xian had long understood this truth, and all secret techniques that could enhance spiritual power were worth investing in the spiritual light of humanity.
Unfortunately, in order to kill Zhu Changsheng, he used up all the spiritual light he had accumulated from 20,000 people.
Li Shuanglin took control of Changshengtang. Zhou Ye and Huang Ying were unable to sell elixirs. During this period, the spiritual light of humanity was greatly reduced.
Gao Xian felt a little annoyed when he thought about this. Pegasus was not big, but it was still nice for him to have the monopoly on this market.
On the other hand, there was still no news about Qi Niang, and Gao Xian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He also understood that even if Qi Niang successfully took over the Zhu family, it would take some time to sort out the mess.
But he still had a lot of stock, and it would be a waste to just leave it like this.
Gao Xian didn't want to deal with Li Shuanglin, so he decided to go talk to the old man again.
The Lingfu Hall was rather deserted. In the early morning, there was only one waiter sitting there lazily. He was Zhou Ye's apprentice and had a close relationship with Zhou Ye.
The waiter saw Gao Xian coming in and hurried over to greet him. He knew that Gao Xian and Zhou Ye were close, so he didn't dare to neglect him.
Gao Xian followed the waiter to the backyard and saw the old man standing in the yard with his hands behind his back. He didn't know what he was thinking and his expression was a little bleak.
Seeing Gao Xian coming in, Zhou Ye was obviously stunned for a moment. He waved his hand to send the little apprentice away, "Nephew, are you free?"
Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old man's aloof look. "I came to see Uncle Zhou specially and asked about the news of Lianyun City."
Although Zhou Ye has no money and no status, he is a disciple of the elder who teaches the skills, so he is well-informed. He should know some news about Qi Niang.
In fact, Gao Xian also knew that if there was any important news, Zhou Yuling would definitely take the initiative to tell him.
However, Zhou Yuling obviously would not take the initiative to inquire about Zhu Qinnan's affairs.
"No news."
Zhou Ye shook his head. "It is said that the Zhu family is a bit chaotic, but it doesn't have much impact."
Zhu Changsheng might be a big shot for Pegasus. In Lianyun City, Zhu Changsheng was just one of dozens of great foundation-building cultivators. He lost his support in the sect, and no one cared about his life or death.
Without a great foundation-building cultivator, the Zhu family would not be qualified to control so many resources, which would inevitably lead to competition among other cultivators.
These things have no impact on Pegasus, so naturally no one will pass this news to Pegasus.
Gao Xian nodded, and then asked, "Uncle Zhou, did you give the remaining Lujiao Powder to Li Shuanglin?"
Zhou Ye's face darkened. "I don't owe him anything, so why should I give him the antlers? At worst, I can just not sell them."
Gao Xian smiled apologetically and said, "Uncle Zhou, I mean you can sell the remaining deer antlers to him."
"I still have 8,000 pieces of Deer Horn Powder. I'll give them to Uncle Zhou for 400 Spiritual Stones. How about that?"
Zhou Ye thought for a moment and felt that there was a lot of money to be made here. His expression immediately relaxed and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes even relaxed a little.
He was still trying to refuse: "You can just go find Li Shuanglin directly, why bother with me?"
"I don't like dealing with outsiders. Uncle Zhou knows that."
Gao Xian explained: "Besides, Li Shuanglin is a great cultivator at the foundation-building stage, and he is very powerful. It would be very troublesome if he had other thoughts."
"indeed."
Zhou Ye agreed, "Li Shuanglin is difficult to deal with. Well, I'll take advantage of my nephew this time."
"Don't say that. You're the one helping me." Gao Xian was very polite to the old man for Zhou Yuling's sake.
The old man liked to hear this. His face was full of smiles and he looked quite happy.
Gao Xian gave the pill to the old man, and the old man couldn't wait to find Li Shuanglin.
After coaxing the old man away, Gao Xian slipped into Zhou Yuling's boudoir without being invited.
Zhou Yuling sat on the bed with a cold face and snorted: "You still remember to come!"
"I'm not giving you time to practice the Water Moon Sword. Do you miss me?"
Gao Xian knew that Zhou Yuling felt neglected. She was already sensitive at the moment, and she would definitely think too much if they hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.
He came up to her with a smile on his face. Zhou Yuling rolled her eyes at him and pouted without saying anything.
Gao Xian gently stroked Zhou Yuling's face, "Why is such a pretty face twitching?"
Zhou Yuling was about to act like a spoiled child when Gao Xian suddenly said, "You must be too tired from practicing. I'll give you a massage to relax you."
Without waiting for Zhou Yuling to speak, Gao Xian activated his electric light and touched it with his dragon hand.
Zhou Yuling originally wanted to resist, but a light touch from the hand made her whole body go numb and limp.
Gao Xian stroked Zhou Yuling twice according to the cat-stroking procedure, making her soft as a boneless object, her heavy clothes soaked with sweat, and the curves of her delicate body were faintly visible.
She had never experienced such a thing before. Her soul seemed to have ascended to heaven. She lay there in a daze, not knowing where she was.
"Is it fun?" Gao Xian asked mischievously.
Zhou Yuling wanted to glare at Gao Xian, but she didn't have the strength to do so, and instead it looked like she was flirting with him.
Gao Xian took a cup and poured Zhou Yuling a glass of water, "Drink some water."
While Zhou Yuling was drinking water, Gao Xian helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead and said, "I didn't realize you drank so much water."
Zhou Yuling knew that what he said was not a good thing, so she pinched Gao Xian hard, but her whole body was weak and she couldn't use any strength.
Gao Xian couldn't stop laughing. He was always so happy when he was with this cute little woman.
It feels very relaxing, much more fun than petting a cat, and feels good too.
The worries and anxieties in his heart seemed to disappear as well.
Being with Qiniang is reassuring. It feels completely different.
When Zhou Ye came back, he saw Gao Xian and his daughter talking in the main hall.
The old man sighed inwardly, as he had just taken advantage of Gao Xian and he was too embarrassed to teach his daughter a lesson.
The old man forced a smile and said, "Things are going well. Nephew, why don't you have lunch here at noon?"
He paused and continued, "I just sent a letter to Hongyan Hall to help you find out the situation. I think there will be news in the evening."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Hongyan Hall is a place specially used for delivering flying books, and there are more than ten flying geese raised in it.
This kind of wild goose is no more than two feet long and flies incredibly fast. Guided by special instruments, it can fly between two fixed places without getting lost.
It only takes two hours for Chuanyunyan to get from Feimaji to Lianyun City.
Zhou Ye is so smart. Gao Xian specially helped him earn a large sum of spirit stones, so of course he has to return the favor.
When Gao Xian came, he asked about Zhu Qinnan's news, which was already clear to him.
So, after selling the Deer Horn Powder, he immediately went to Hongyan Hall to send a letter to his senior brother.
Although Nan Pingsong was very old, he was still an elder who taught martial arts and had many disciples in the sect. Many of them had received favors from him.
It is not difficult for Nan Pingsong's disciples to find out some information.
At night, Zhou Ye actually received a letter from his senior brother, which said something about Zhu Qiniang.
Gao Xian took the letter and read it. The letter said that Zhu Qinnan had been received by the sect leader and became an outer sect elder of Lianyun Sect.
As for what happened to the Zhu family, the letter did not say.
For Gao Xian, this was enough. As long as the sect accepted Zhu Qiniang and did not pursue the matter of Zhu Chang's life or death, other matters such as the Zhu family's were trivial.
Gao Xian sincerely thanked the old man, saying that he was indeed Yuling's biological father. He was smart and understood things quickly.
When Gao Xian got home, he was in a good mood. He made an exception and asked Daniu to buy some dishes and had a drink with him.
The next day, Gao Xian received a letter from the clerk of Hongyan Hall.
The letter was sent by Qiniang, and there were only four words on it: All is well.
Zhu Qinnan didn't like to talk much, and it was not safe to deliver letters, so these four words made the situation very clear.
Gao Xian was completely relieved and just had to wait until the relationship with Zhu Qiniang was sorted out before he could go to Lianyun City.
Gao Xian was a little excited at the thought of going to a big city.
Since he was reborn into this body, he has been staying in Pegasus. To this world, he is a typical country bumpkin.
A few days later, when his spiritual energy had accumulated more than a thousand points, Gao Xian upgraded the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Technique to the mastery level. His life span was also increased by two years.
The Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon technique can improve spiritual awareness and increase lifespan. These two benefits alone are worth investing in human spiritual light.
After all, other spells that can be upgraded with points are either at the maximum level or require too much human aura, so the cost-effectiveness of adding points to upgrade is too low.
After waiting for more than ten days, Gao Xian finally received the second letter.
After Gao Xian opened the letter, he found something wrong. The person who sent the letter was not Qiniang, but his master's wife Bai Yurong!
Since he became Gaoxian, his master Xu Mingyuan has never contacted him.
Because the original owner was afraid of Xu Mingyuan, he never contacted Xu Mingyuan.
How come the master's wife suddenly sent him a book after three years?
After reading the letter, Gao Xian had a complicated look on his face. His teacher Xu Mingyuan had been missing for forty days and there had been no news of him.
The master's wife summoned many disciples, perhaps to announce some decision.
However, he had been staying in Pegasus for three years without any contact, but he was a little confused as to why his master's wife still remembered him as her disciple and specially sent him a letter.
Gao Xian was not interested in Xu Mingyuan's affairs. However, as Xu Mingyuan's disciple, he could not ignore the letter sent by his master's wife.
In this world, people attach great importance to sect inheritance, master-disciple relationship, and clan bloodline. This is also the foundation of the order of cultivators.
After much consideration, Gao Xian decided to go to Zhou Ye to inquire about the situation first.
Zhou Ye was worthy of him, and the next day there was news confirming that Xu Mingyuan was missing.
Xu Mingyuan was, after all, a great cultivator at the foundation-building stage and a master of alchemy. His disappearance had sparked all kinds of discussions in Lianyun Sect.
Everyone thought Xu Mingyuan was dead, but no one knew who did it.
Zhou Ye also persuaded Gao Xian to go back and have a look, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
It would be difficult for a disciple who betrays his master to gain a foothold in the sect.
Gao Xian originally wanted to wait for news from Qiniang before making a decision, but given the current situation, it seemed unreasonable not to take action.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Xian decided to take the Qingmu flying ship to Lianyun City. Anyway, Qi Niang had already taken care of the sect, so even if there were some troubles, it wouldn't be a big deal.
There is nothing worth reminiscing about Pegasus, the only thing I can't let go of is Zhou Yuling.
Before Gao Xian left, he stayed with Zhou Yuling every day, made many promises to her, and helped her refine a large number of Tiangui Lingdan, which finally calmed her down.
Before leaving, Gao Xian visited Huang Ying again and went to see Wan Zhen and his daughter. He only had a few friends in Pegasus.
When little Wan Yingying heard that Gao Xian was going to Lianyun City, she was very reluctant to let him go and held Gao Xian's thighs tightly and refused to let go. Gao Xian also liked this little girl very much, so he comforted her and gave her two small magic tools as gifts, but even so, the little girl kept crying.
On the afternoon of July 15, Gao Xian arrived in Lianyun City on the Qingmu flying ship...
