Chapter 143 Puzzled

Lianyun City, West District, Changsheng Hall Backyard.

The courtyard is not large, with three entrances and two cross-courtyards, all of which are brick and wood structures. The spatial layout is generous and simple, and the materials are solid. Although it cannot be called exquisite, it is quite grand.

The main room area was shrouded in a layer of light green magical aura, like a green translucent tent, covering most of the backyard from top to bottom.

Gao Xian walked around the backyard and found nothing unusual, then he took out a green jade pendant and passed through the magic circle into the backyard.

There are many runes engraved on the green jade pendant, which has a subtle resonance with the hexagonal array. Holding the jade pendant, one can move freely in the array.

The hexagonal array is a first-level magic array, known for its stability and firmness. It consumes about three spirit stones every day.

To maintain such a magic array all year round, thousands of spirit stones are needed, which is also a huge expense.

Under normal circumstances, the hexagonal array will only be opened at night.

When Gao Xian came during the day, Qi Niang gave him this jade pendant so that he could come and go freely.

The level of the hexagonal formation is not high, and Gao Xian can use the shadowless robe to penetrate the formation, but it is not polite to do so, and there is no need to do so.

As soon as Gao Xiancai entered the courtyard, Zhu Qinnan came out to greet him.

She was wearing a thin yellow sweatshirt and standing there barefoot. The powerful magic power of the foundation-building monk allowed her to float in the air easily without any dust on her feet.

Gao Xian was quite envious of this, "Building a foundation is good, you can control your energy and float in the air at any time."

His geomagnetic wheels can also allow him to glide by air, but it is far inferior to the air-glide flying of a great foundation-building cultivator.

Zhu Qiniang looked Gao Xian up and down. She said helplessly, "You are full of murderous intent. Did you kill someone again?"

"Once you are in the arena, you have no choice."

Gao Xian went over and took Qi Niang's hand, "Let's talk inside."

Zhu Qiniang frowned slightly, but said nothing. She was not afraid that Gao Xian would kill someone, but she didn't want Gao Xian to do it so casually.

Lianyun City is not Pegasus. The forces here are intertwined and if you are not careful you might offend a great monk who has established his foundation.

Zhu Changsheng's main occupation is alchemy, and he is not good at fighting. It is one thing to plot against Zhu Changsheng, and it is another to make enemies with other great foundation-building cultivators.

Zhu Qinnan really wanted to remind Gao Xian not to be careless, but she had already completed the foundation building. If she continued to say this, it would easily make Gao Xian feel that she was giving orders from a superior position, causing unnecessary grudges.

No matter how close the relationship between two parties is, there are some things that cannot be said directly.

The two sat down in the living room, and Gao Xian took out a large pile of magical instruments and talismans from his storage bag and piled them all on the square table.

After seeing so many things, Zhu Qinnan knew that Gao Xian had killed a lot of people.

She picked up a yellow robe at random. The robe was yellow with red, had a thick texture, and had a faint texture like gold and iron.

"The red iron robe is made of red iron, fire crystal, and ice silk. It is of the highest quality of the first-grade, and has the second-grade golden light technique. It is worth four thousand spirit stones..."

After Zhu Qinnan advanced to the foundation-building stage, her spiritual awareness became more than ten times stronger than before, and her level of identification skills also increased accordingly.

As soon as she got the robe, she saw the material of the robe and the most valuable golden light technique on it.

She looked at Gao Xian: "Could this red iron robe belong to Xu Shengye?"

Gao Xiancai had asked her about Xu Shengye in the morning. There were not many people in Lianyun City who could afford to wear the red iron robe, so she easily got the answer.

Gao Xian chuckled: "Qiniang has a keen eye, very impressive."

Seeing that Qi Niang looked unhappy, he explained, "It's not me who wants to kill Xu Shengye, it's Xu Shengye who brought a group of people to steal the San Yuan Dan Jing.

"Xu Mingyuan is not good to me, but Master's wife is very caring towards me. It would be fine if I didn't have the ability, but now that I have the ability, I can't just sit there and do nothing..."

Not to mention the close relationship between the original owner and Bai Yurong, he just couldn't stand the greed and viciousness of these people. And since he was involved, he naturally didn't hesitate to kill them.

There is also extra income. Well, he is indifferent to fame and wealth, and taking these people's spiritual stones and magic tools is just a byproduct. The main point is to punish the evil and eliminate the evil when seeing injustice! Zhu Qiniang took the initiative to hold Gao Xian's hand, and she said softly: "I'm not afraid of causing trouble, I'm worried about your safety.

“Behind Xu Shengye is Xu Lingyun, who is at the third level of foundation building. He is proficient in alchemy, so it is not surprising that he covets the Sanyuan Dan Jing.

"Since you killed Xu Shengye, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although Xu Lingyun has practiced for a hundred years longer than me, I am not afraid of him!"

Having said that, Zhu Qinnan's tone naturally became more sonorous and firm.

Gao Xian hurriedly comforted Zhu Qiniang: "Not really, not really. Xu Lingyun didn't know about Xu Shengye and the others. I did it very cleanly this time. I used the cleaning technique to wipe off the bloodstains and dealt with the bodies. How could he find it on me?"

"Anyway, it's nothing to be afraid of, you don't have to worry."

Zhu Qiniang said seriously: "No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Gao Xian was somewhat moved. He had said these words to Qinniang before, and now hearing them from Qinniang's mouth, it had a different and moving meaning.

He looked straight at Zhu Qiniang and thought for a long time before he said, "Do you want a massage?"

Zhu Qinnan couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what Gao Xian was thinking.

She was so serious, but Gao Xian's answer was so irrelevant. This is what makes Gao Xian different from others. Gao Xian is different from all other cultivators. It is difficult to describe his temperament, and this is also his charm.

"OK."

Zhu Qinnan readily agreed. She had completed the foundation building and solved the problem of body alienation. She did not need massage, but she liked the intimate state with Gao Xian.

Gao Xian and Qiniang entered the bedroom. Although Qiniang had already established her foundation, she could not withstand the Electric Light Dragon Hand of the Grandmaster.

Qinnan's muscles and bones were soon softened by the massage, and her sweat shirt was soaked with sweat.

Qi Niang was so gentle, her bright green eyes were even more tender and charming, but Gao Xian's mouth was becoming drier and drier.

Zhu Qiniang was also somewhat moved, but she suddenly said: "I got the Qingyuan leaves you used for cultivation, a total of thirty leaves. With your talent, you will be able to advance to the eighth level of Qi training soon."

When talking about cultivation, Zhu Qinnan quickly calmed down.

She added: "The red iron robe is a top-grade robe that can be used by Qigong practitioners. Don't sell it. Keep it for your own use. Just be careful not to let outsiders see it..."

Although the red iron robe is of the first level, its quality is better than many second-level robes.

Such a top-quality robe is hard to buy even if you have money.

Gao Xian nodded. He also thought that the red iron robe was of good quality. Now that he and Qi Niang were both rich, it would be better to keep it for their own use.

"I'll take care of the rest. The total value should be around five or six thousand spirit stones."

Qi Niang said softly, "You killed Xu Shengye and his group. It will definitely alarm Xu Lingyun. You stay with me for the next few days and don't go to Xu's house."

Gao Xian disagreed. He said, "It's hard to implicate me in Xu Shengye's death. If I hide, I will appear guilty."

There is no Internet, no mobile phones, and even no media like television and newspapers in the world of cultivators, and information is extremely isolated.

Strangers among the cultivators are wary of each other, and the small circle they form is very closed.

The great foundation-building monks were just powerful, which allowed them to firmly control the lower classes. However, this control was one-sided, and in fact, the information level was even more closed.

He killed Xu Shengye and his gang because he saw that they were doing things in secret and Xu Lingyun didn't even know what they were doing.

As for Wu An and Jiang Cheng's secret collusion with Xu Shengye, his other fellow disciples were unaware of it.

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

Each closed loop of information may not be so tight, but it is a huge obstacle for Xu Lingyun. Moreover, he did it so cleanly, Xu Lingyun would only suspect other foundation-building cultivators.

If this can be easily traced back to him, then Xu Lingyun must be a god!

As Gao Xian's cultivation improved, he understood cultivators better and better. The cultivators' powers were very powerful and subtle, but they didn't have the ability to know the past and the future with just a few calculations! At least the foundation building and golden elixir cultivators didn't have this ability. He had come all the way here and saw the limits of the cultivators' abilities, and he no longer had any awe for them.

Zhu Qiniang didn't think so much, she just thought it was unnecessary for Gao Xian to return to the Xu family. But Gao Xian insisted, so she didn't say much.

Before dawn, Gao Xian quietly returned to Xu's house.

Without Jiang Cheng and others, Gao Xian was the only one left in the Xu family's front yard, which seemed quite deserted.

Gao Xian lay down for a while, and when the sun rose, he went to the yard to practice sword twice. Chunxiang came over and brought him breakfast.

It was not until noon that Gao Xiancai met Bai Yurong in the main hall.

After a night's rest, Bai Yurong seemed to be glowing and in very good condition.

Bai Yurong saw a smile on Gao Xian's face, "I was really drunk yesterday. Fortunately, Xiaoxian was here, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself..."

Gao Xian said: "I was a little drunk yesterday, too. The aftereffects of the alcohol were quite strong."

Bai Yurong was relieved when she saw that Gao Xian was fine.

She said casually: "You have a great talent for alchemy. Unfortunately, your master has no idea where he hid the Three Yuan Alchemy Scripture!"

"My alchemy skills are too low. It's useless even if you give me the Sanyuan Dan Jing." Gao Xian said.

He has recently been studying the "Elixir of Life", which is an extremely profound book on elixir.

There is no shortcut in alchemy, and he thought it would take several years to truly master the "Elixir of Life".

I don’t care much about the "Sanyuan Dan Jing". It’s good to have it, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t have it.

Zhou Yuling said it well, alchemy is ultimately just an external way, cultivation is the fundamental thing.

Just relying on Lujiaosan and Tianguidan, he could make a lot of money and gain a lot of humanitarian spiritual light.

Although the recipe in the "Changsheng Dan Jing" was very good, anyone with money could easily buy it, including his master's Sanyuan Dan.

There are hundreds of arts in cultivation, and each one is profound and requires countless efforts.

If you want to achieve a high level of attainment in alchemy, you need to invest a lot of energy and resources.

He has great potential in cultivation and there is no need to waste time and resources on other things.

Bai Yurong also noticed that Gao Xian didn't seem to be very interested in the "Sanyuan Dan Jing", which surprised her a little.

She changed the subject and asked, "Xiaoxian, what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to Pegasus?"

Gao Xian shook his head: "I have made an agreement with Changshengtang that I will help them make elixirs in Lianyun City from now on. I will not go to Feimaji."

"Zhu Changsheng is dead. I heard that the current head of the family is called Zhu Qiniang. She is a newly promoted foundation-building master. It is said that her skills are very powerful."

Bai Yurong hesitated for a moment and said, "It was your master who signed the contract with Changsheng Hall. Now that he is gone, the contract should be invalidated.

"I can go and talk to Changshengtang, and at worst I can compensate them with some spirit stones."

Gao Xian shook his head: "I am doing very well in Changsheng Hall, Master's wife, don't worry about it."

Bai Yurong looked at Gao Xian deeply. Gao Xian looked very confident and there was no sign of any special emotion on his face.

This puzzled her, because the contract Xu Mingyuan signed with Changshengtang was a contract to sell Gao Xian's body, and the conditions were very harsh.

With Gao Xian's current level of cultivation, how could he be willing to work like a slave for Changshengtang?

Gao Xian always felt that Bai Yurong had some issues, and he didn't want to get too close to this mistress. After a few words, he excused himself on the pretext of having something to do.

Bai Yurong did not stop Gao Xian, but just told him to come home often to visit.

In the Xu family mansion, Xu Lingyun stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face. He looked around and found no bloodstains, nor any signs of violence.

The problem was that the room was too clean, and it was obvious that it had been cleaned. It looked like the cleaning technique had been used! It was almost certain that Xu Shengye and his group had been dealt with.

He was able to quickly and easily deal with a group of mid-to-late stage Qi training cultivators without leaving any trace. Only a great cultivator at the foundation-building stage could have such power.

Xu Lingyun couldn't understand why a great foundation-building cultivator would come to his house to commit a crime. He was too arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all!

This matter must be investigated thoroughly and must not be let go!
