Chapter 150: Encountering a Strange Person (Third update

, please give me a monthly ticket!) "The so-called Dajiangfang is because it is surrounded by the Ming River..."

A cultivator with a pointed face and monkey cheeks smiled and humbly explained to Gao Xian the origin of Dajiangfang.

Gao Xian looked at the bustling market ahead. The buildings here were rough and sturdy. Well, the same style as Pegasus, but it looked a little more rugged and much larger in scale.

According to the information he had read, Dajiangfang was close to the Black Snake Mountain, which was home to countless exotic black snakes. The snake skins, bones and gallbladders were all of extremely high value.

There are many kinds of spiritual medicines in Black Snake Mountain, as well as many strange spiritual objects and spiritual stones.

Its rich resources have attracted a large number of independent practitioners.

According to calculations, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 practitioners living in Dajiangfang. For a market town, this scale is already very large.

Feimaji attracted a large number of independent cultivators because of the ruins of an ancient sect.

Among them there should be quite a few independent practitioners from Dajiangfang.

Therefore, many houses outside Dajiangfang are empty, and only the central area remains bustling.

Gao Xian casually asked the thin cultivator, "I still don't know what to call you, friend?"

"Li Rui."

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced cultivator hurriedly gave his name, "I have been in Dajiangfang for almost ten years. To be honest, there is nothing in Dajiangfang that I don't know."

Gao Xian didn't like Li Rui who took the initiative to get close to him.

In this world, the hospitality and enthusiasm of strangers are suspicious. Moreover, he has several enemies in the sect.

But there's nothing wrong with chatting.

Gao Xian asked, "I heard that there is a powerful evil spirit running rampant in Dajiangfang. What is going on?"

Li Rui laughed dryly: "I know this very well, but..."

Gao Xian understood from Li Rui's expression that this guy wanted money.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's find a place to rest and talk in detail."

Li Rui showed a happy expression: "Okay, fellow Taoist, the Hongyun Inn ahead is very clean and safe, and the owner is also very kind."

"good."

Gao Xian had just arrived at Dajiangfang, so there was nothing to complain about. He just followed Li Rui.

Li Rui led the way and came to an open area by the river.

Hongyun Inn is located on an open river bank. There is a large awning at the door with many tables and chairs inside.

There were some cultivators drinking in the awning in broad daylight, and their faces were all red from drinking.

They gathered together and talked very loudly, making a lot of noise.

Li Rui led Gao Xian to sit in a corner, where the view was wide and they could see the surging river ahead as soon as they looked up.

It was only when Gao Xian sat here that he realized that the river water was bright and transparent under the sunlight. From a distance, it looked like silver light surging and shining, which was quite spectacular.

"The water of this great river is bright and transparent, as bright as silver in the sun and as blue as the sky in the moonlight, so it is called the Ming River."

Li Rui was very perceptive. Seeing Gao Xian looking at the river, he hurriedly introduced it, "This Ming River is quite famous. Some cultivators from famous sects will come here to travel and see it..."

Li Rui talked incessantly when talking about this, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with the situation here.

Gao Xian was not very interested in these. He said, "Let's talk about evil spirits."

Li Rui nodded and smiled: "Daoyou, I got this information at the risk of my life..."

"How many?"

"Two spiritual stones."

Li Rui patted his chest and said, "In Dajiangfang, no one knows more about evil spirits than me."

He was soliciting customers at the landing place of the flying ship all day long, and his eyes were very sharp. When he saw Gao Xian wearing a magic weapon and robe, he knew that this person was wealthy, so he shamelessly pestered Gao Xian.

Since Gao Xian is interested in evil spirits, this is a good opportunity to make money, how could he miss it.

"A spiritual stone."

Gao Xian had no shortage of money, but there was no need to waste it. Moreover, being too generous in a place like this would only attract greedy people.

Li Rui was overjoyed: "I think we are compatible, so let's have one spiritual stone."

Gao Xian threw a spiritual stone to Li Rui and said, "Go ahead."

Li Rui took the spirit stone with a smile, examined it carefully, and then put it into his sleeve.

He said: "The evil spirit has appeared for several months. It appears and disappears mysteriously. No one knows what it looks like. Those who have seen it are all dead..."

According to Li Rui, the evil spirits come out to roam around late at night and have killed as many as three to four hundred cultivators in the past few months.

You have to know that there are only more than 40,000 cultivators in Dajiangfang, so three or four hundred cultivators is a lot.

With so many cultivators dead, the order in Dajiangfang was greatly disrupted, and the cultivators were in a panic. A large number of cultivators chose to leave Dajiangfang.

Gao Xian glanced at the cultivators who were drinking nearby. They looked drunk and didn't seem to care much about the evil spirits.

He asked, "So many people died, doesn't Lianyun Sect care?"

Li Rui shook his head repeatedly: "Deacon Huang Dapeng is a great cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. He led people to search several times, but the evil spirit seemed to have disappeared and never showed up again."

"oh?"

Gao Xian asked: "So the evil spirit ran away?"

Li Rui shook his head: "It's hard to say, but Dajiangfang is so big, the evil spirits just killed a few cultivators and no one would know for a while.

"Anyway, on the surface, Oebo is fine, so these guys are starting to indulge themselves again."

Li Rui glanced at the group of monks drinking beside him, with a look of disdain on his face.

Once a cultivator indulges in alcohol, it is equivalent to giving up his future. Living is just a waste of time and waiting for death.

Such a person is worthless even if he has great cultivation.

Gao Xian's eyes were deep. This information was of little value. This old man dared to take a spiritual stone from him. He really thought he was a fat sheep! He said, "Is that all?"

Li Rui could hear Gao Xian's dissatisfaction. His face changed slightly and he said hurriedly, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I have more important news."

He lowered his voice and said, "Although the evil spirit killed many people, they were all male cultivators.

"Some people speculate that the evil spirit was a female cultivator in her previous life. She was full of hatred towards men, which is why she only targeted male cultivators."

Gao Xian glanced at Li Rui coldly. This information was barely useful.

Li Rui smiled apologetically, "Fellow Daoist, this evil spirit is so mysterious and unpredictable that even the great cultivators of the foundation-building stage cannot find it. I have told you everything I know..."

"Okay, go ahead."

Gao Xian didn't want to waste time with this slick guy, so he waved his hand to signal Li Rui to get out.

Li Rui was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but a blade-like light flashed from the depths of Gao Xian's dark eyes, like an invisible sword piercing straight into Li Rui's heart.

Li Rui felt as if he was split into two pieces by an invisible sword. For a moment, he was in a trance and didn't know where he was.

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses and instinctively took two steps back in panic.

This young cultivator's spiritual power was so strong. Moreover, he could turn hostile without warning. This tough and cold behavior frightened him greatly.

Li Rui didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly stood up, bowed, and left in a hurry in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

The other cultivators in the greenhouse were busy eating, drinking and chatting, and no one noticed Li Rui's embarrassment.

Gao Xian sent Li Rui away and wanted to leave, but he felt that this inn by the river had a broad view.

The river ahead is majestic and magnificent, the green mountains in the distance are clear and beautiful, the mountains and water complement each other, and there is a unique interest between movement and stillness.

Anyway, there are more than two months left, so there is no need to rush. It would be nice for him to stay here for a few days to see the scenery.

Before coming here, Zhu Qiniang said that even if the evil spirit could not be killed, it was okay. At worst, she could find another way to get the foundation-building method.

Although the Great Five Elements Kung Fu is profound, it is not a secret method that can be applied to the world.

The founder of Lianyun Sect is said to be from Qingyun Sect. Perhaps Qingyun Sect has the complete inheritance of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.

However, this kind of martial arts inheritance is the foundation of the sect, and it may not be easy to obtain even if you go to Qingyun Sect.

Zhu Qinniang only had one meaning: if you can kill the evil spirit, that would be great, but if you can't kill it, don't worry too much.

Gao Xian agreed with this deeply. This was the path drawn by Zhang Chunjiang, and there was no need to follow the other party's rhythm completely.

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

At least you should distinguish the primary from the secondary, and don't do anything recklessly to kill evil spirits.

Gao Xian booked a single room in Hongyun Inn. The room was very simple, but fortunately the walls were thick and it was relatively quiet.

After he finished his routine homework, he lay down for a nap.

With nothing to do, Gao Xian took out the Mirror of Love and Lust again.

During this period of time, his spiritual awareness and cultivation level increased greatly, and he needed time to stabilize.

On the other hand, he also had to familiarize himself with the Qingyuan Ruyi robe and the Liuyang Demon-Repelling Golden Shuttle.

Including many powerful talismans, all of which require time to study and ponder.

Arriving at Oebo, Gao Xian sat on the bed and listened to the sound of the river rushing not far away. His mind and body entered a state of relaxation and leisure.

He finally had the energy to study the remaining spells.

On the back of the Fengyue Baojian, there are still Shadowless Robes and Ice and Fire Nine Heavens left. These two spells can be added.

Other minor spells such as the art of smelling scents and the Yin-Yang Wheel had already been perfected by him to the master level.

Even if these small spells were perfected by the Grandmaster level, the benefits they brought to him were very limited.

The Shadowless Robe and the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire are extremely powerful spells.

Gao Xian has time now, so of course he has to prioritize maxing out his two spells.

With 60,000 points of human spiritual light invested, the Shadowless Robe was elevated to the perfect master level.

An annotation on the Shadowless Robe also appeared in the Fengyue Baojian.

Shadowless vestments: Mana condenses into garments that cover the whole body, invisible and intangible, able to communicate with yin and yang, avoid the five elements, protect the body and spirit, and change as desired. (40000/40000 Grandmaster Perfection)

The annotations of the Grand Master’s perfect Shadowless Robe have undergone tremendous changes.

Gao Xian’s consciousness entered the Temple of Mind and experienced the various changes of the Grandmaster’s perfect level Shadowless Robe.

At this point, the protective ability of the Shadowless Vestments has been increased by more than two times. Its protective ability even exceeds that of the Golden Light Technique.

The Golden Light Technique is a mid-grade second-level spell, enough to withstand an attack from a great foundation-building cultivator.

The reason why the red iron robe is valuable is that it is a first-level robe blessed with the second-level golden light technique.

It was also because of this that Xu Shengye's golden light technique was a little slow when he first activated it.

Gao Xian also bought ten golden light magic talismans this time, just for self-defense.

The protective effect of the Shadowless Robe actually exceeds that of the Golden Light Technique, which is a bit outrageous.

However, according to Gao Xian's estimation, after the Shadowless Robe underwent a transformation, it could be considered a second-level spell.

With the blessing of Fengyue Baojian and the consumption of so much human spiritual light, it is quite reasonable to have such protective ability.

When one reaches the perfect Grandmaster level, the Shadowless Robe can be cast instantly and continuously, which means that even if it is broken, it can be cast instantly again.

To understand Yin and Yang and avoid the Five Elements means that the Shadowless Robe can enhance the sage's sensitivity to the spiritual energy and magic power of heaven and earth, and can penetrate the changes of the Five Elements at the same level.

At this point, he can even penetrate metal barriers and remain invisible underwater.

The transformation into an invisible state became more stable and lasted for ten breaths, greatly enhancing his ability to save his life.

I have to say, using the Human Spirit Light to level up is awesome. There is no need to practice at all, and the spells are instantly upgraded to the maximum level. Its powerful power is something that even the great monks who have established their foundation would envy!

Gao Xian was very satisfied with the upgrade results. Compared with spells such as Zhengyang Spear, the Shadowless Robe had a wider range of application and better effects.

With the Shadowless Robe, he had the initiative on the battlefield. No one could stop him, whether he was attacking by surprise or retreating.

Gao Xian stayed in the room and did not go out. He took a second-level Jinyuan Pill at night.

The Jinyuan Pill strengthens the spirit and soul internally, strengthens the muscles, bones, qi and blood externally, and consolidates the foundation. It is a Qi-training pill taken daily by great monks who have established their foundation.

Every Jin Yuan Dan can be transformed into rich spiritual energy to nourish the body, mind and soul. It can also meet the daily needs of the body, so you don't need to eat for three to five days.

This Jinyuan Pill is worth ten spirit stones.

Gao Xian was also away from home, and the spiritual energy in Dajiangfang was far inferior to that in Lianyun City, so he used the Jinyuan Pill extravagantly.

After finishing my homework, it was already dark outside.

Gao Xian got off the bed, activated his shadowless robe, and left the room through the wall.

He first walked around the Hongyun Inn inside and out, mainly observing the inn environment, and then checking on the boss, waiters, and guests.

This is for security reasons, not because he likes to pry into other people's privacy.

Fortunately, there were not many guests in the inn, and the boss and the waiters seemed normal.

When Gao Xian passed by a courtyard, he found something was wrong.

Through the flower-appraising magic mirror, he was unable to see what was happening inside the courtyard, because there was a magic circle set up outside the main house in the courtyard.

Gao Xian didn't understand magic arrays, but he could tell that this array was very sophisticated. The array constructed invisible light screens that crisscrossed each other to protect the main room layer by layer. Even the Flower-Jiangling Mirror could not see what was happening inside the array.

This magic circle is much more advanced than the one in Qinniang's home. Even his maximum-level shadowless robe may not be able to penetrate the protection of this magic circle.

Gao Xian was greatly surprised. How could such a person come from a small place like Dajiangfang? Magic arrays are different from magic tools. Magic tools only need to use spiritual consciousness to control the magic power. But magic arrays must match the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the five elements and directions, and the surrounding environment.

To arrange a magic array, one needs to be proficient in the five elements of yin and yang, the changes of runes, and the art of array formation. Only in this way can one be flexible and arrange magic arrays in different environments.

Simply put, using a magic weapon is like driving a vehicle, while setting up a magic array is like assembling a vehicle. The two may look similar, but in fact, the technical difficulty is completely different.

Lianyun Sect has as many as seventy or eighty great monks in the foundation-building stage, but only a handful of them are truly proficient in formations.

From this we can see how difficult and complicated the art of formation is.

The other party arranged the magic array in the inn so exquisitely, which showed how powerful he was. On the other hand, he also showed strong financial resources.

The magic array must be driven by spirit stones. To maintain such a small magic array, at least ten or eight spirit stones are needed every day.

Gao Xian was very curious about the person in the magic circle. He wondered where this person came from and what he was doing here. He remembered that Li Rui had said during the day that Mingjiang was quite famous and that disciples from famous sects often came here to play.

Could it be that this person is a disciple of a great sect? (One of my book friends said it well, please call me Sangen Zhenren! It’s a full 10,000 words, not a bit of pretense! It’s not too much to ask for a monthly ticket~)
