Chapter 145: Straight Hook (Another 3rd update! Please give me a monthly ticket~)

Gao Xian spent every day at home refining elixirs, and produced a large amount of Lujiaosan and Tianguidan.

That's right, both kinds of elixirs are in short supply.

Lianyun City is much larger than Feimaji. Although there are many competing pharmacies, Lujiaosan and Tianguidan have swept all competitors with their super high quality and dominated the two major markets of aphrodisiac and beauty.

Changshengtang also has distribution channels to surrounding markets, and the shipment volume from these channels is much higher than that of Lianyun City.

As the reputation of the two kinds of elixirs gets better and better, ordinary practitioners now have to pay a higher price to buy these two kinds of elixirs.

Gao Xian was busy refining elixirs and practicing all day long, and he was so busy that he was dizzy and exhausted both physically and mentally.

The only thing that could comfort him was that he earned a large amount of human spiritual light every day, which was more valuable than spiritual stones.

He had already upgraded his transformation skills to the Grandmaster level, and his speed and strength had increased by about 10%. His physical strength had also increased significantly, and his lifespan had increased by five years.

He didn't know where to use these remaining spiritual talents.

The Shadowless Robe is of course the first choice, but it requires too much human spiritual light, which needs to be accumulated for a period of time.

Others such as the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Technique and the Zhengyang Spear can improve spiritual awareness, but the cost-effectiveness is not high.

The Nine Layers of Ice and Fire can directly increase the power of ice arrows and flaming bombs, but no matter how much it is increased, it is difficult to threaten the great monks who have established their foundation.

Gao Xian decided to wait a while. He wouldn't go out anyway, so there was no need to rush to increase his strength.

The most urgent task is to call the big cow and free him from the complicated physical labor.

Well, bring the little black cat along. He's been missing this little toy.

Before Gao Xian could wait for the letter from Da Niu, Chunxiang came to him first and said that her master's wife wanted to see him about something important and asked him to come over immediately.

Gao Xian was cautious and asked someone to inform Zhu Qiniang before leaving. He took Chunxiang to Xu's house in a blue silk carriage.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Gao Xian saw Xu Lingyun sitting in the main hall. He was wearing a red robe like fire, with a gloomy and cold face, and was easy to recognize.

Xu Lingyun had never seen him, but he had seen Xu Lingyun in action at Pegasus. He was quite impressed by the Fire Cloud Secret Technique that this great foundation-building cultivator had used.

Gao Xian killed Xu Lingyun's clansmen, so he was very wary of him. Meeting Xu Lingyun at his teacher's house made him even more uneasy.

But now that we’ve come this far, we can’t just turn around and leave.

Gao Xian sighed in his heart, this master's wife is a bit of a rip-off! He walked into the main hall with his head held high, and first bowed respectfully to Bai Yurong and greeted her.

Bai Yurong stood up with a smile on her face to greet Gao Xian. She introduced him to him, "This is Mr. Xu Lingyun, the third master of Xu, and also your master's cousin. He came to see you this time."

Gao Xian was a little surprised that his cheap teacher was actually a relative of Xu Lingyun! It was this relative who conspired to steal his teacher's "Sanyuan Dan Jing". Bai Yurong seemed to know nothing about this? Judging from Bai Yurong's tone and demeanor, she and Xu Lingyun seemed to have a close relationship! Xu Lingyun certainly didn't know Gao Xian. He looked Gao Xian up and down in a grand manner: "Are you Gao Xian?"

Gao Xian nodded. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was somewhat worried in his heart.

He was so quick and decisive about what happened that night that Xu Lingyun would have to be a god to be able to determine in such a short time that he was the one who murdered Xu Shengye.

Judging from Xu Lingyun's appearance, he doesn't seem like he's here to seek revenge.

"He is indeed a handsome man with extraordinary demeanor."

Xu Lingyun praised casually, and then he changed the subject and said, "Your master and I are like brothers. His disciples are my disciples."

Gao Xian looked at Xu Lingyun in astonishment. What did this old man mean? ! Could it be that he wanted to take him as his apprentice? Xu Lingyun said calmly: "My cousin is in trouble. I will be your teacher from now on. Don't worry, I will never let Zhu Qiniang bully you as long as I am here."

Bai Yurong said at the side: "Xiaoxian, the Third Master is an inner sect elder. He can give you the status of a true disciple of the sect. Isn't this a hundred times better than being an alchemist in Changsheng Hall..."

Gao Xian was somewhat speechless. Bai Yurong was doing this for his own good. It was just that Bai Yurong didn't know about his relationship with Qiniang, and she did something bad with good intentions! Xu Lingyun smiled reservedly, "If you are my disciple, I will never treat you unfairly."

Seeing that Gao Xian hadn't reacted, he couldn't help but frown. This kid is a little ignorant.

He could only remind Gao Xian: "Why don't you kneel down and become my disciple!"

Gao Xian bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Master. My teacher's life or death is uncertain, and I cannot change my school."

It was difficult for him to refuse directly at this moment, so he could only bring Xu Mingyuan up.

Respecting teachers and honoring elders is the right thing to do no matter where you are.

Xu Lingyun's face suddenly darkened: "I am a great foundation-building cultivator, and I can't be your master?!"

His tone also became a little more stern and cold, and the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monk continued to be released outwards, and the powerful magic power surged like a wave.

Xu Lingyun's magic power was not activated, but the power it exuded was extremely violent.

With his level of cultivation, he can boss around the Qigong practitioners without having to consider any tactics. If Gao Xian doesn't obey, then he can force him to obey!

Before he finished speaking, someone outside the door shouted, "Gao Xian is my man, who dares to touch him?"

The man's voice was low and a little hoarse, but if you listened carefully, you would find it had a moving charm.

To Xu Lingyun's ears, the sound was like thunder, which made all the hairs on his body stand up.

A yellow figure flashed, and Zhu Qinnan flew down from the sky to the door. She held the golden leaf sword at her waist, and her beautiful facial features were filled with cold murderous intent.

When she received the news, she was afraid that something had happened to Gao Xian, so she hurried to Xu's house. She happened to see Xu Lingyun threatening Gao Xian, and she immediately became angry.

"Zhu Qiniang."

Xu Lingyun showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect Zhu Qinnan to come over so quickly and stand up for Gao Xian so forcefully.

When Zhu Qinnan and Ren Baichao were dueling, he was also watching from the side.

This woman, who had just established her foundation, was extremely tough and fierce in the battle. She severely injured Ren Baichao, who was at the second level of foundation building, on the spot, forcing the 200-year-old man to admit defeat in embarrassment.

That battle left a very deep impression on Xu Lingyun.

It’s not that Xu Lingyun was afraid of Zhu Qiniang, but he couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive.

He stared at Zhu Qiniang and said, "Why, you want to go against me?"

Zhu Qiniang said firmly: "If you dare to touch Gao Xian, I will kill you!"

Xu Lingyun was furious. A woman who had just established her foundation dared to brazenly say that she would kill him! He held the hilt of the sword with murderous intent in his eyes. Zhu Qiniang did not give in at all. Her bright green eyes shone with an unusually sharp divine light.

The two great foundation-building monks mobilized their magic power, and two invisible magic powers collided in the small room.

Bai Yurong was pressed tightly against the wall by two forces. She was almost crushed and couldn't even breathe.

She was extremely shocked. What charm did Gao Xian have that made Zhu Qiniang so anxious that she even fought with Xu Lingyun for him?

Looking at Gao Xian's figure standing with the sword in his hand, he was tall and straight yet sharp, with a gleam of light in his eyes like stars, and his demeanor seemed not much worse than that of the two great foundation-building monks.

Bai Yurong felt even more complicated. The Gao Xian in front of her was full of charm. However, he was completely different from the Xiao Xian in her memory. They seemed like two different people! As Zhu Qiniang and Xu Lingyun became more and more powerful, Xu Lingyun suddenly snorted and soared into the sky.

Red light flashed all around Xu Lingyun, and he suddenly broke through the roof and flew away into the air like a burning fire cloud.

A big hole was blown in the roof by the violent magic power released by Xu Lingyun, and broken fragments of beams, purlins and tiles flew all over the sky.

The main hall was originally decorated in a very elegant style, but now it was covered with dust and in a mess.

Bai Yurong had a complicated expression, but she didn't know what to say in front of Zhu Qiniang.

Gao Xian sighed and said to Bai Yurong, "Master's Wife, Xu Lingyun wanted to take me in as his apprentice because he was impressed by my alchemy skills. He is a sinister person, so Master's Wife should stay away from him in the future."

He now understood that Xu Lingyun came to his house specifically to snatch him away because he was attracted by his ability to refine pills.

Even a great cultivator of foundation building couldn't resist the temptation of tens of thousands of spirit stones a year! Gao Xian said, "I'd better go first, so that Xu Lingyun won't come to cause trouble again."

Bai Yurong sighed: "Okay."

She carefully glanced at Zhu Qiniang outside the door and whispered, "Xu Lingyun is narrow-minded. If you offend him, you must be careful. It's all because of my carelessness that I caused so many problems."

Bai Yurong was not clear about the relationship between Gao Xian and Zhu Qinniang, but she had some vague guesses in her mind. However, she didn't say much in front of Zhu Qinniang.

"Master's wife is also doing this for my own good. I just don't know the details."

Gao Xian comforted Bai Yurong with words, bowed, and followed Zhu Qiniang back to the backyard of Changsheng Hall.

When they got home, Zhu Qinnan and Gao Xian both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really dangerous today. Xu Lingyun was an inner sect elder of Lianyun Sect, and his status was very important. It might not be difficult for the two of them to kill Xu Lingyun together, but they could not deal with the aftermath after killing Xu Lingyun, so they could only flee Lianyun Sect in a hurry.

For Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang, this was an unacceptable loss. Fortunately, Xu Lingyun backed off.

Zhu Qiniang said: "I have also heard that Xu Lingyun is narrow-minded. I am afraid he will not let it go."

Gao Xian said: "We can't kill Xu Lingyun yet."

They had a falling out with Xu Lingyun, and then Xu Lingyun died. The cause and effect relationship is so clear that anyone would suspect that they did it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Inner sect elders must also abide by the sect's rules. As long as we find Xu Lingyun's fault, we can catch him..."

August 15th is traditionally the day when the Aoki flying ship returns from Pegasus.

Yesterday Gao Xian received a letter from Da Niu saying that he would arrive in Lianyun City on a flying ship today.

Gao Xian was very happy about this. He said that Daniu was down-to-earth and hardworking, and was a good worker.

Especially for low-level elixirs such as Lujiaosan and Tianguidan, Danniu can complete 90% of the work independently. Once Danniu comes, he can save a lot of time.

For this purpose, Gao Xian specifically talked to Zhu Ying and arranged for Qingluoyu to go outside the city to pick up Daniu.

I haven't seen him for a month, and Da Niu is still as honest and simple as ever.

Maybe there were too many people in the cockpit, and Daniu's hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray. He looked as miserable as an adulterer who encountered a surprise inspection.

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

He was holding a little black cat in his arms. The little thing must have been frightened by so many people. It squeezed in Da Niu's arms and looked around with its eyes.

Da Niu looked so poor that even those who wanted to solicit business were too lazy to pay attention to him.

The big bull who came down from the flying ship was obviously a little dizzy. He looked around stupidly, not knowing where to go.

"Daniu, here it is."

Gao Xian called out, and then Daniu saw Gao Xian in green clothes and with a sword.

Daniu hurried over to Gao Xian and greeted him with a silly smile, "Brother."

And then, nothing more to say.

Gao Xian knew Daniu's temper. He smiled and patted Daniu on the shoulder, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something good to welcome you."

After getting on the Qingluo carriage, Daniu felt a little uneasy, because the furnishings and decorations inside were exquisite and clean, and he felt unworthy of sitting in the carriage.

Gao Xian casually pulled the little black cat over. The little guy was still a little reluctant, so he stroked the little guy twice with his electric light dragon hand. Only then did it obediently lie there quietly, allowing Gao Xian to manipulate and play with it.

Gao Xian saw that Daniu was a little nervous, so he comforted him casually: "This is Qinniang's car, just make it casually, it's okay."

He said to Zhu Ying who was driving outside: "Please go home."

The Qingluo Carriage made a circle outside, inevitably attracting a lot of attention, especially those who were interested, as they all knew that the Qingluo Carriage was Zhu Qiniang's vehicle.

Da Niu was very satisfied with the cross-yard arrangement and walked around the yard excitedly.

After Gao Xian left, he had been looking after the house at Feimaji. Without Gao Xian's guidance, he had used the alchemy furnace to refine pills twice.

He succeeded in refining them all, but the Lujiaosan and Tianguidan he refined were far inferior to those refined by Gao Xian.

This also made Daniu very depressed, as he felt that he had no talent for alchemy. After Gao Xian and Qi Niang left, they were afraid that they would not care about him anymore.

After receiving Gao Xian's letter, Daniu was overjoyed. When he arrived in Lianyun City, he saw that everything was arranged properly for him. He was excited and moved.

Gao Xian and Daniu talked about the situation of Pegasus Group, mainly asking about Zhou Ye's situation.

The old man made extra money without the Deer Horn Powder and lived a comfortable life by selling talismans.

As for Zhou Yuling’s situation, that is not something that Daniu can know.

In the evening, Gao Xian decided to take Daniu out for a good meal.

He didn't know much about Lianyun City, but he had eaten there once and thought it was pretty good.

In the dim twilight, Gao Xian and Daniu quietly slipped out from the side door of Zhu's house. Gao Xian also wore a bamboo hat and changed into a black Xuanbing robe.

Xu Lingyun suffered a loss once, so he spent a lot of money to bribe several servants of the Zhu family. Today, when Gao Xian went out to pick someone up, he received the news. So he ran back to Lianyun City to see if there was any chance.

Just as he expected, Gao Xian couldn't help but go out!

He sneered. It would be fine if Gao Xian stayed in the Zhu family because he was protected by a magic circle. If he took action, the noise would be too loud and he might not succeed.

If Gao Xian dares to go out, he is really courting death.

He was forced to retreat by Zhu Qiniang that day, and when he got home, he felt more and more humiliated. A dignified inner sect elder was actually forced to retreat by a woman.

This anger made him extremely uncomfortable, and also gave rise to the desire to kill. Since he couldn't get it, he might as well destroy it. Not only could he vent his anger, but he could also eliminate his competitors, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Zhu Qiniang, he was really not afraid of her.

Changshengtang seized the market, and many people disliked Zhu Qiniang. If Zhu Qiniang dared to cause trouble again, they would join forces to destroy her.

Lianyun Sect is their sect, it is not the turn of an outsider to show off his power! Xu Lingyun called his subordinate Xu Jiufeng: "Take two people to Chunfeng Tower. Kill Gao Xian, and do it quickly."

"Yes." Xu Jiufeng responded without hesitation.

Xu Jiufeng is at the ninth level of Qi training. He is forty-seven years old this year. His cultivation is very pure and he is good at fighting.

He knew that Gao Xian was in the middle stage of Qi training, was an alchemist, and was not very old.

It was easy for him to kill such a young alchemist.

In order to prevent accidents, he also brought two companions, both of whom were masters in the late stage of Qi training.

Xu Jiufeng brought two companions to Chunfeng Tower. He threw a spirit stone to the waiter and asked where Gao Xian was going to eat.

The guy didn't care why Xu Jiufeng wanted to see Gao Xian. He took the spirit stones and excitedly led Xu Jiufeng to a single room on the second floor.

Xu Jiufeng sent the waiter away, and he exchanged glances with his two companions, and each of them activated the protective spells on their robes.

After making preparations for action, Xu Jiufeng nodded to his two companions, drew his sword silently, and pushed the door open.

The single room was not big. Gao Xian and Daniu stood on either side. A layer of faint golden light covered them, and it was obvious that they were using the golden light technique.

Zhu Qinnan, dressed in a gorgeous golden and red robe, sat in the main seat. She looked indifferent and calm, with a deep and cold look in her bright green eyes.

Its posture is majestic, cold and superior, like a god who decides life and death.

Xu Jiufeng and his two companions were stunned. All three of them had seen Zhu Qinnan's duel and were deeply impressed by the strength and bravery of this female foundation-building cultivator.

Before coming, Xu Lingyun made it clear that Zhu Qiniang was at Jinxia Peak, so how could she appear here? From the look of Zhu Qiniang, she was waiting for them to come.

Xu Jiufeng wanted to explain, but with the long sword shining with cold light in his hand, he was afraid that no matter what he said, he would not be able to convince the other party.

Just as Xu Jiufeng was in a daze, Zhu Qiniang shouted, "You sneaky fellow, you deserve to die."

Her voice was not loud, but what was released was her innate magical power, the Thunder Lion's Roar.

The sound waves struck Xu Jiufeng and the other two like thunder, and their protective magic shields shattered like popped bubbles.

The low thunder sound exploded after it entered the ears of Xu Jiufeng and the other two. The strong and sharp thunder sound struck for the first time, and the most vulnerable eyes of the three people exploded together.

After the thunderous sound rose and fell several times, the skulls of the two cultivators behind Xu Jiufeng were not broken, but the internal tissues of their skulls were shattered into a pile of debris, and dirty blood flowed out from their seven orifices.

Only Xu Jiufeng survived, not because of his high level of cultivation, but because Zhu Qiniang intentionally gave him a chance to live.

Gao Xian, who was watching from the side, had a happy smile on his face.

Xu Lingyun is really impatient, he bites as soon as I throw the hook!

Daniu was stunned. How could someone get killed just by eating? How could Lianyun City be more dangerous than Pegasus? Zhu Qiniang grabbed Xu Jiufeng by the back of his neck and lifted him up, just like lifting a cat.

Xu Jiufeng had already fainted, his body as limp as a worm.

Zhu Qiniang said to Gao Xian, "I will go to the clan leader to seek justice. You take Daniu home first."

In fact, the entire Lianyun City was divided into power areas based on the foundation-building cultivators. Under the auspices of the sect, Lianyun City formed a relatively stable order, but this order was difficult to restrain the foundation-building cultivators.

Just like Zhu Qiniang casually killed a few cultivators, as long as there was no foundation-building cultivator who stepped forward, who would dare to come to her for revenge? As an inner sect elder, Xu Lingyun's status was much higher than Zhu Qiniang's.

However, Lianyun Sect can restrain Xu Lingyun.

As the leader of the clan, Yun Taihao would deal with Xu Lingyun and give them an explanation, even for his own face! (Three updates of 10,000 words, please give me a monthly ticket~)
