Chapter 139 Going Home
Lianyun City is backed by Jinxia Mountain in the north and Baicang River in the south.
Lianyun Sect was built on Jinxia Peak. Looking from the sky, Jinxia Mountain is full of golden trees.
Under the sunlight, Jinxia Mountain seems to be covered with a layer of golden clouds, shining brightly and glitteringly.
Gao Xian knew that the tree was called the Castanopsis goldenrod, known as a wild and exotic species that could absorb gold-based spiritual energy to generate golden leaves that would never fade in all seasons.
Among the golden trees on the mountain, you can vaguely see palaces, towers, pavilions, terraces and various buildings.
The golden sumac trees were like golden umbrellas, covering 90% of Lianyun Sect. The little part exposed outside had a more mysterious and wonderful charm.
Gao Xian used the Flower-Seeing Mirror to observe Jinxia Mountain and could see countless leaf-shaped golden lights overlapping and rippling, like a golden sea of light. Even Lianyun City at the foot of the mountain was covered by the golden sea of light.
He just looked at it twice and felt dizzy. If Sister Lan hadn't appeared at the right time to help him control his consciousness, he might have fainted.
Gao Xian didn't dare to look anymore. The protective magic formation of Jinxia Mountain was too powerful. The fierce magic power contained in it was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of Jindan Zhenren Yun Taihao. It was not something he could spy on.
The majestic and lofty Jinxia Mountain truly demonstrates the extraordinary and peerless spirit of the cultivators, which makes people feel awe.
This snooping also made Gao Xiansheng very alert.
The Shadowless Robe could penetrate the protective array of Li Shuanglin's home, but it could not penetrate the protective array of Lianyun Sect. The difference between the two was too great.
The invisible state of the Shadowless Robe is not truly invisible and will still be affected by magic power.
The last time he tried to kill Zhu Changsheng, he was nearly broken out of his invisible state by the violent impact of his magic power.
The Lianyun Sect has dozens of great foundation-building cultivators, and the Golden Core True Man Yun Taihao is in charge. As a small Qi-cultivating cultivator, it is better for him to be honest.
Gao Xian turned his gaze to Lianyun City. This large city was backed by mountains and surrounded by water. It was surrounded by a green wall several meters high. Sixteen areas were divided into six long streets, three horizontal and three vertical. It looked quite neat.
If you look closely, you can see that the buildings in the North City area are tall and wide, with a rigorous layout and gorgeous style, and are obviously more prosperous.
In contrast, the buildings in the southern city area are low, dilapidated and extremely messy, and it looks like a large Pegasus.
The spiritual light of the magic circle spreading down from Jinxia Mountain completely covered Lianyun City.
The mountain and the city were connected into one, showing a trend of echoing from beginning to end. It involved the method of spiritual energy circulation, which was complicated and exquisite, but he could not understand it now.
Gao Xian only remembered that his teacher Xu Mingyuan's home was in the West District and he had dozens of disciples.
The teacher was open to all, willing to teach anyone with a bit of talent. Of course, these apprentices eventually became his money-making tools.
He was inconspicuous among the many disciples, but he had some talent in alchemy, which was why he was sent to Pegasus.
The Aoki flying ship landed smoothly at a special site outside the east gate. Gao Xian, as a distinguished passenger in the top-floor single room, disembarked directly from the bow passage.
Ordinary passengers got off from the stern, carrying various luggage and items, huddled together in a mess.
Gao Xian glanced at this group of cultivators, his heart full of emotion. When the original owner went to Pegasus three years ago, he was also in such a mess.
Three years later, everything is different.
In his memory, there were not many memories of Lianyun City. When he returned to Lianyun City, his deepest feeling was that the spiritual energy here was abundant, far better than Feimaji. It was a good place for cultivation.
Coming back was the right choice!
A rough wooden fence separates the landing area of Aoki's spacecraft.
As Gao Xiancai came out of the gate, two people came up to greet him with a smile, "Where are you going, Taoist? Our Jinyuan Inn is safe and comfortable. A single room costs only five talisman coins a day..."
"Master Dao, our Quanfu Inn provides pick-up and drop-off services, and three meals a day."
The man lowered his voice again and said with a lewd look on his face: "There are also female prostitutes who have studied in the Hehuan Sect. I guarantee you will be satisfied and the price is affordable..."
Gao Xian glanced at the man. He was a little confused whether Lianyun City had a developed service industry or if the man was just talking nonsense to attract customers.
"Ah Xian,"
Before Gao Xian could talk to this person, he heard Qi Niang's voice.
Gao Xian looked up and saw Qinnan standing next to a carriage. There was no smile on her face, but her bright green eyes were shining with joy.
Today, Qi Niang wore a golden robe with red hues, and faintly one could see the leaves of a golden sumac shining on it. She wore a golden fishtail crown on her head and a black sheathed long sword on her waist, giving off a noble aura.
After not seeing each other for dozens of days, Qi Niang's appearance has not changed, but her robe, hair crown, and sword are all of the second level.
The two-horse carriage behind her was made of yellow wood with cloud patterns, dragons and phoenixes carved on the outside, with a green umbrella canopy on the top and green curtains on the outside, which was quite gorgeous. A strong and sturdy woman stood by with a long whip in her hand, obviously the driver.
Zhu Qinnan has an extraordinary bearing to begin with, and with the BMW luxury car beside her as a backdrop, she naturally has the majestic aura that a great foundation-building cultivator should have.
The two men surrounding Gao Xian also saw Qiniang. Although they did not know Qiniang, they could tell that she was a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage. Their faces changed drastically, they bowed in panic, and walked away backwards.
Gao Xian also laughed. After not seeing her for dozens of days, Qi Niang had changed so much that he even felt some pressure.
“You’re here.”
He walked over and greeted with a smile, "I am flattered that you would come to pick me up in person, Qi Niang."
He had sent a letter to Qiniang before coming, so he was not surprised by her appearance.
Zhu Qiniang was used to Gao Xian's jokes and didn't mind. She hadn't seen Gao Xian for a long time, and seeing him so elegant and graceful, she was filled with joy and a smile appeared on her face.
The coachman Zhu Ying, who was standing nearby, was greatly shocked.
During this period, Zhu Qiniang smoothed over her relationship with the higher-ups and successfully became an outer sect elder. On the lower-ups, she used iron-blooded means to purge the Zhu family, and all the rebels were executed.
In just a few dozen days, Zhu Qinnan had essentially taken control of the Zhu family.
There was a great monk who had established his foundation and wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob the Zhu family and seize their property.
For this purpose, Zhu Qinnan directly sent a duel letter to the great monk. The two great monks dueled on the life and death stage of Lianyun Sect, and Zhu Qinnan severely injured the opponent in one fell swoop.
This battle earned Zhu Qiniang the respect of everyone in Lianyun Sect. It also allowed Zhu Qiniang to firmly grasp the power of the Zhu family, and no one dared to confront her anymore.
This young man in front of me, whose origin is unknown, actually dares to speak to Zhu Qinnan in such a frivolous way. He really doesn't know how to live or die!
What surprised Zhu Ying even more was that Zhu Qinnan didn't care about it at all. Instead, she took Gao Xian's hand and got into the car affectionately.
Although Zhu Ying didn't dare to look at it any more, he was also shocked. Many people privately said that Zhu Qiniang had a male lover in Feimaji, and it seemed to be true! This male lover was indeed handsome, but he was a little too presumptuous!
Zhu Ying was a little confused. How could a plaything be so magnanimous? How could Qi Niang tolerate his teasing? ! This shows that this person must have an important position in Qi Niang's heart.
Zhu Ying was from the same side branch as Qi Niang, and had dealt with Qi Niang before. When Qi Niang came to power, she was chosen as a close bodyguard.
For her, she had leapt from a late-stage Qi-cultivation practitioner on the edge of the family to the center of family power, and her status had been greatly improved.
She knew very well that to be a close bodyguard, regardless of one's ability, the first thing one had to do was to be loyal and reliable, and the second was to understand Qi Niang's thoughts.
Since Qi Niang values this person so much, she naturally has to pay great attention to him. Even if she cannot please this person, she must not offend him.
Zhu Ying was thinking about it when he heard Zhu Qiniang say from behind the curtain: "Go to the Xu family at Sanyuantang on Ping'an Street in the West District."
The blue curtain may look thin, but it can protect against wind and rain, isolate sounds, and block outsiders from prying eyes.
If Zhu Qinnan had not taken the initiative to transmit the message to the outside, Zhu Ying would have had no idea what was said or done behind the curtain.
Zhu Ying responded in a deep voice, holding the reins and shaking them lightly. The two red horses had been well-trained, and they started forward smoothly after receiving the instructions.
Gao Xian, who was sitting in the car, did not feel any vibration. The shock absorption effect was even better than the top-notch car in his previous life.
Gao Xian looked around curiously. The carriage was spacious, enough for four people to play mahjong, and there were two waiters to serve tea.
The two yellow pear wood benches facing each other were very wide, enough for two people to lie side by side. They were covered with lake green brocade, which was low-key and elegant, and soft and comfortable to sit on.
There is a long tea table in the middle of the seats, with fruits, desserts, etc. on it, and drawers for storage underneath.
There is also a small three-legged bronze lotus incense burner in the corner of the carriage, and the long, peaceful and faint fragrance drifts everywhere with wisps of white smoke.
"So angry."
Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh. He had been in Pegasus for several years, but he had never seen such an exquisite and luxurious life.
Zhu Qiniang said calmly: "This car is Zhu Changsheng's car, named Qingluoyu, and it is a magic weapon. That's why it can run so smoothly. This thin curtain is enough to resist ordinary second-level spells.
"It's worth at least 7,000 to 8,000 spirit stones. Unfortunately, it's just a toy and can't be used for anything.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Both Lianyun City and Jinxia Mountain prohibit flying. This car is quite convenient. More importantly, it is very impressive and people dare not underestimate it. It can save a lot of trouble..."
Gao Xian nodded and praised: "A great cultivator who has established his foundation should have such demeanor."
This Qingluo carriage was equivalent to a customized bulletproof luxury car in his previous life. It was not only a symbol of power and status, but also had very high security.
Thinking of the hard days with Qiniang in Pegasus, I felt even more emotional. Today, Qiniang is completely different.
Seeing Gao Xian's envious look, Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but smile, "If you like this car, I'll give it to you. It will be convenient for you to go in and out of Lianyun City."
"That won't be necessary."
Gao Xian shook his head: "Something happened to my master, and it's not good for me to go in and out in a high-profile manner by car every day."
He turned and asked, "Qiniang, do you know what happened to my master?"
If the time didn't match, Gao Xian really thought it was Qiniang who killed his teacher Xu Mingyuan.
"I'm not sure. It seems he went into the mountains to collect herbs and disappeared."
Zhu Qiniang said: "There has been no news for such a long time, he must be dead."
She then said, "You don't hate Xu Mingyuan. It's just right that he died. It saves a lot of trouble."
Gao Xian said: "It's a good thing for me. I'm just worried that there might be some hatred involved and the murderer won't give up. That would be troublesome."
"That's hard to say."
Zhu Qiniang said: "Although Lianyun City has a magic array for protection, it is for the outside world, not the inside. The city is not safe, you must be careful."
Gao Xian nodded, his expression somewhat complicated as he said, "There's one thing I don't quite understand. Master has so many disciples, and what does it mean that Master's wife sent me a letter asking me to come all the way back?"
"Maybe he missed you." Zhu Qinnan said casually.
Gao Xian glared at Qiniang and said, "Even a great cultivator of the foundation building stage cannot speak carelessly!"
Zhu Qiniang said calmly: "I am not against you finding a woman. If you and your master's wife really have a secret affair, you must hide it. If people find out, your reputation in Lianyun City will be ruined."
"It was all right."
Gao Xian said it with certainty on the surface, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had no relationship with Bai Yurong, but he could not guarantee that the original owner was pure and flawless.
Zhu Qinnan didn't dwell on this matter, she just reminded Gao Xian not to do anything rash.
This is not Feima Ji. There are dozens of great foundation-building cultivators and a Jindan Zhenren on Jinxia Mountain.
Their powerful force penetrates into every level of Lianyun City, forming forces and organizations.
The situation in Lianyun City is much more complicated than that in Pegasus.
Zhu Qinnan was afraid that Gao Xian didn't know the ins and outs of the matter and might accidentally fall into a trap.
She reminded Gao Xian again: "If your reputation is bad, it will give others an excuse to attack you. Lianyun City is more prosperous and lively than Pegasus, and the struggle is more cruel.
"Once Xu Mingyuan dies, I don't know how many people will be eyeing this piece of fat meat of the Xu family. You must be careful."
"I see."
Gao Xian said: "I just came back to take a look. I am not interested in the teacher's property..."
After a while, the Qingluo carriage slowly stopped.
Zhu Ying, who was driving in front, jumped out of the car and said respectfully in a low voice, "Sir, we're here."
Zhu Qinnan glanced at the Xu family through the curtain. There was a vermilion gate with tall stone lions on both sides to guard the house. There were seven bluestone steps in front of the gate, which looked quite imposing.
"Shall I go in with you?"
“It can save a lot of trouble,” she said.
Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I am just an insignificant disciple. No one will target me. Bringing you in will only cause suspicion among my fellow disciples."
"Okay, just be careful. I live in the backyard of Changshengtang in the North District, so it's easy to find."
Zhu Qiniang gave Gao Xian a few more instructions, repeatedly asking him to be careful. If anything happened, he should go back to her. After all, there were too many experts in Lianyun City, so there was no need to take risks.
Gao Xian got out of the car, and Zhu Ying, who was standing beside him, smiled respectfully. Gao Xian nodded to the woman, then brushed his long sleeves and walked up the stairs.
The main door was closed, but the side door was open.
Gao Xian didn't hesitate and walked through the side door. A man came out of the back room. He was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw Gao Xian, he saw that he was extremely handsome, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, wearing a green robe and carrying a sword. He had a noble and extraordinary demeanor and a strong magical power.
The man's face straightened. He bowed politely and asked, "What can I do for you, distinguished guest?"
The man was in his thirties, with small eyes, dark skin, a mustache, and was wearing a grey robe. He looked a bit vulgar.
At this moment, he smiled respectfully, showing his humility.
Gao Xian remembered this man, Jiang Cheng, who was the seventh among his fellow apprentices. Because he was smart and good at flattering, he always followed the teacher.
He smiled and bowed to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Jiang, don't you recognize me? I am Gao Xian."
Jiang Cheng was shocked. He remembered that his teacher had such a registered disciple, who was sent out to help the teacher make money when he was still young.
He looked Gao Xian up and down again. His appearance was indeed correct, but his demeanor had changed so much. Gao Xian's deep aura made him must be in the middle stage of Qi training.
Jiang Cheng's face was filled with doubt and he explained dryly, "Junior Brother Gao, you have changed so much that I didn't recognize you..."
