Chapter 151 This Moon, This Person

Gao Xian circled around the courtyard. The magic array set up by the other party was very sophisticated and could not be seen from any direction or angle.

Although Gao Xian was curious about the other party's origins, he ultimately did not risk entering the magic circle.

The world is so vast, and you will always meet some great and powerful people.

It would have been fine if he was just snooping outside, but sneaking into the magic circle was both despicable and hostile.

Once discovered by the other party, they will never let him go easily.

Gao Xian thought about it and felt that people like Xu Lingyun and Zhang Chunjiang would not have the style or ability to do this.

As long as you are not coming for him, there is no need to pry into other people's privacy.

Gao Xian quietly left Hongyun Inn and entered the central area of ​​Dajiangfang.

Like Dajiangfang and Feimaji, the only truly lively area is a long street.

Outside the long street, various buildings spread out randomly, occupying a large area.

Perhaps because of the evil spirits, no one could be seen on the long street at the second watch. Outside the long street, it was dark and silent, with no lights and no sounds.

The huge Dajiangfang looks dead.

Gao Xian was wearing a shadowless robe and controlling the geomagnetic wheel, gliding silently on the quiet streets of Oebo.

When the geomagnetic wheel rotates, it will interfere with the Shadowless Robe. In the past, the Shadowless Robe would be transformed into a water light state and attached to Gao Xian.

The Grandmaster's perfect shadowless robe can compete with the geomagnetic wheel.

So Gao Xian's body appeared and disappeared, and in such a dark night, he looked like a ghost.

Gao Xian did this on purpose in order to test the changes of the Shadowless Robe.

The scope of application of the Shadowless Robe spell was too wide, and there would always be various problems, some of which he could not even think of.

The master-level shadowless robes allow him to breathe in and out vital energy more easily and sense the changes of the five elements and yin and yang between heaven and earth more clearly.

This was not to enhance his spiritual awareness, but the Shadowless Robe acted like an amplifier, allowing him to more easily sense the various changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Gao Xian walked along the street in Dajiangfang and returned to the central long street.

There are several shops hanging lanterns on the long street, and the most eye-catching one is the big red lantern on the Liuxianglou.

Liuxiang Tower is located at a corner at the end of the street. Although it is called a building, it is actually a courtyard, except that the gatehouse in front is built quite elegantly.

Anyone with a little experience can tell what Liuxianglou does.

Normally, this is the busiest time for Liuxianglou.

Gao Xian stood outside Liuxiang Tower. With his magic mirror, he could see through the tall white walls. He could only see a few rooms inside with pink lights on, but there was no sound, let alone music or dancing.

There were people making love on the bed, Gao Xian just glanced at them and didn't look any further.

He came here to look for evil spirits and had no interest in these things.

Gao Xian's spiritual sense could reach as far as five hundred steps away, and if he stood in the center of the long street, he could cover most of Dajiangfang.

However, using spiritual sense to scan in this way would also be sensed by other practitioners. On the other hand, this would consume a lot of spiritual sense.

His spiritual power is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but it is impossible for him to use his spiritual power to scan a large area for a long time.

In comparison, using the Flower Mirror is simpler and easier.

Switch the Flower-Jianling Mirror to mana mode and you can see various mana reactions in the depths of darkness.

If the evil spirit appears, he should be able to see the gloomy and strange magical aura of the evil spirit.

Gao Xian wandered around Dajiangfang until he saw white in the east, and then returned to his room in the inn.

Generally speaking, evil spirits rarely appear during the day.

According to Li Rui, the evil spirits that wreaked havoc in Dajiangfang also came out to kill people at night.

Gao Xian returned to his room and did his routine homework before taking a rest.

As for the mysterious cultivator across the courtyard, he did not try to spy on him again.

Although the Flower Mirror is secretive, it is still a magic spell after all. Ordinary practitioners cannot discover it, but that doesn't mean that everyone cannot detect the Flower Mirror.

As long as the other party is not coming for him, there is no need for him to get involved.

Late July is the hottest time of the year.

It wasn't even noon yet, but the room was already hot and stuffy.

Gao Xian was also awakened by the heat. He activated the Spring Breeze Technique on his Qingyuan Ruyi robe, and a burst of cool air circulated inside the robe, dispelling all the heat.

The Qingyuan Ruyi robe also comes with several small spells such as the Spring Breeze Spell and the Cleansing Spell. Although simple, they are very practical.

Gao Xian first activated the Flower-Seeing Mirror and took a look at the surroundings.

When you go out, you still have to be cautious.

He didn't find anything unusual, so he took out a Jinyuan Pill and swallowed it. When he woke up from his meditation, it was already afternoon.

When the Great Five Elements Kung Fu reached the eighth level, even with Sister Lan in charge, it would take more than an hour to complete one hundred and eight cycles of Kung Fu.

Concentrating the mind is of utmost importance. If you are not careful, you will hurt your heart and ruin the foundation of your practice.

Only authentic and inherited techniques, practiced by tens of millions of practitioners, can avoid many problems.

That's right. Because of the slight differences among individual practitioners, the effects of practicing the same technique will be different for each person.

After several years of practice, Gao Xian also understood the principles of practice.

No matter how powerful the skills are, they are ultimately dead, but the practitioner is alive.

Not to mention the differences in age, gender, and physical body among cultivators, just the differences in their consciousness, soul, emotions, and other states make a huge difference.

Although both of them practice the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, Gao Xian's spiritual awareness is far superior to that of other Qigong practitioners. He has to make various adjustments to play to his strengths while not going astray.

After several years of adjustment, he has found a path that suits him.

The main reason is that his proficiency in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu has been continuously accumulated and has reached the expert level, which allows him to master the first seven levels of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu skillfully.

However, he had just advanced to the eighth level of Qi training, and was not yet very skilled in concentrating his mind, so he needed to be careful in circulating his magic power.

It is for this reason that Gao Xian did not take the Fire Heart Jade to assist in his practice.

Gao Xian opened the Fengyue Baojian and found that his Great Five Elements Kung Fu was only a few dozen points away from the master level. He only needed to wait for more than ten days to reach the master level.

At that time, you will be able to fully master the Five Elements Kung Fu, and then there will be no problem using spiritual objects to assist in your practice.

The Great Five Elements Kung Fu is his path to immortality and the foundation of all his magic.

Even though spells like the Great Puppet Magic and the Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand can increase lifespan, this increase only continuously optimizes the body and cannot transform his life level.

Only the Great Five Elements Kung Fu can allow him to complete the foundation building, refine the golden elixir, and even achieve the Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the Great Five Elements Kung Fu is of utmost importance and is the foundation of his cultivation.

Gao Xian looked at the front of the Mirror of Love and Lust and couldn't help but sigh. If he could add some points to this side, it would not be difficult to ascend to heaven on the spot.

Unfortunately, only the yellow and red methods on the back of Fengyue Baojian can add points.

He turned over the Fengyue Baojian, and found that there were still more than 100,000 human spiritual auras left, and the only spell he could add points to was the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.

It's very cool to add some quick spells, but they lack the process of practice. It takes a little time to adapt and become familiar with them before you can fully master them.

The Zhengyang Spear, the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon, and the Shadowless Robe are all relatively complex and sophisticated spells.

If there is plenty of time, Gao Xian will of course add points to each spell.

After a day of digestion and absorption, he had mastered the shadowless robe to the perfect level of the grandmaster.

I don’t know what kind of enemy I will face next, so I still have to try my best to improve my combat power.

Gao Xian invested a full ninety thousand spiritual energies and raised the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire to Grandmaster perfection.

Ice and Fire was originally a minor spell, but after it was upgraded to the Ninth Level of Ice and Fire, it underwent a fundamental change. The amount of human spiritual light required to upgrade this spell also became extremely exaggerated.

The Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, the Grandmaster's perfect realm, did not bring Gao Xian any gain in spiritual awareness or longevity.

On the back of the Mirror of Wind and Moon, Sister Lan appeared silently. She cast spells with both hands at the same time, displaying the various exquisite changes of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.

After seeing Sister Lan’s presentation, Gao Xian was greatly surprised.

When the Ninth Level of Ice and Fire is upgraded to the maximum level, the most direct effect is that the power of ice arrows and flaming bombs is greatly enhanced.

Looking at Ice Arrow and Flame Bomb, the two low-level spells were also upgraded to the maximum Grandmaster level.

Gao Xian felt that this effect could be achieved because these three spells were extremely compatible.

Secondly, after reaching the Grandmaster level in the Ninth Level of Ice and Fire, he had a deep understanding of the two magical powers of water and fire. He even vaguely touched the two original powers of water and fire.

This understanding and knowledge of the original power of the Five Elements greatly increased the upper limit of his understanding of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and also allowed him to fundamentally understand the two spells of Ice Arrow and Flame Bomb.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that one has comprehended the rules. This is equivalent to mastering some basic laws and formulas of water and fire magic.

This allowed Gao Xian to break free from the limitations of the two spells, Ice Arrow and Flame Bomb, and gain a certain understanding of both the water and fire magic systems.

Compared with the improvement in the power of spells, this improvement in understanding is more important and meaningful, and will become an important cornerstone of his cultivation.

Gao Xian's consciousness entered the Temple of Mind and practiced ice arrows and flaming bombs.

The Grandmaster's full-level Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, combined with the Grandmaster's full-level Ice Arrows and Flame Bombs, produced extremely amazing changes.

Ordinary ice arrow technique, with power equivalent to that of a pistol.

Gao Xian's ice arrow technique has been blessed by the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, and is equivalent to the power of an assault rifle.

This improvement is so terrifying that it allows Ice Arrows to easily penetrate various first-level protective spells and robes.

Now, the power of Ice Arrow is comparable to that of an anti-material sniper rifle, and its power has increased nearly tenfold.

At a distance of five hundred steps, the ice arrow technique still maintains a very strong power, enough to easily kill a Qigong practitioner.

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

Such a terrifying increase is due to the Nine Levels of Ice and Fire and the fact that the Ice Arrow Technique has reached the maximum Grandmaster level.

The most important thing is that Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness is as strong as that of the middle stage of foundation building. His understanding of the two magic systems of water and fire allows him to fully display the advantage of his spiritual consciousness in ice arrow magic.

This extreme burst of spiritual awareness is equivalent to giving up one's own protection and does not have much practical significance.

The same is true for Flame Bombs.

Ordinary flame bombs are like grenades. No matter how much Qigong practitioners practice, they can only reach this level.

The flame bombs used by Gao Xian are comparable to mortars.

The upgraded flame bomb has reached the level of the 122 caliber howitzer. Of course, the range is far less.

However, the temperature of the flame bomb is very high, and in extreme conditions it is enough to melt gold and iron, which is incomparable to artillery shells.

With his ability to fire nine rounds in a split second, his burst of firepower is comparable to that of an entire artillery battalion.

There is a saying that goes: All fear comes from lack of firepower.

Gao Xian had witnessed the power of Li Shuanglin and other cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Their most powerful feature was that their magic power was condensed into Gangqi, which was extremely effective in protecting themselves and fending off enemies.

In addition, the great monks who have established their foundation can instantly release their innate magical powers, and when facing Qi training cultivators, they can easily defeat a hundred of them alone.

With his current flaming bomb and ice arrow skills, they are not inferior to the innate magical powers of Li Shuanglin and others.

According to his estimation, the flame bombs and ice arrows were enough to break through the protective Qi of a great monk in the early stage of foundation building, including some second-level protective spells and so on.

It’s just that the great monks who have established their foundation are powerful in all aspects and have no weaknesses.

He only relied on flaming bombs and ice arrows, and posed little threat to the great monks in the foundation-building stage.

Because spells are entirely guided by spiritual consciousness, the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monk will form a barrier to resist and guide enemy spells.

Therefore, if a great monk in the foundation-building stage wants to kill an enemy of the same level, the most direct and straightforward way is to engage in close combat.

Using spells to attack each other, it is difficult to threaten each other.

Even a Jindan Zhenren as strong as Yun Taihao would have to rush forward and draw his sword to kill the foundation-building cultivators of the Seven Evils Sect.

Of course, that was also because the other party was driving a huge flying ship with a powerful protective array. Yun Taihao did this probably to defeat the other party in one fell swoop.

Gao Xian was very satisfied with this upgrade. The combination of flaming bombs and ice arrows, combined with the Green Lotus Rainbow Sword and Shadowless Robe, gave him a huge boost in combat power.

If people like Xu Lingyun and Zhang Chunjiang are caught off guard against him, he has a 70 to 80 percent chance of taking them down in one blow.

At night, Gao Xian left the inn wearing a shadowless robe. He wandered around Dajiangfang all night but found nothing.

This went on for several nights in a row, but Gao Xian didn't find any trace of the evil spirit.

It happened to be a full moon that night, and Gao Xian walked around Dajiangfang but still couldn't find any evil spirits.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Gao Xian suddenly became interested and came to the long embankment by the river.

The river water is as blue as the sky, reflecting the bright and round moon in the sky, which floats up and down in the water.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was the bright moon in the water or the Yangtze River in the sky.

Gao Xian looked at the scene of the river and sky merging into one with the bright moon shining alone. He couldn't help but think of an ancient poem, and he chanted in a low voice: "Who first saw the moon by the river? When did the moon by the river first shine on people?"

The language and writing in this world are not much different from those in his previous life, and this poem completely retains the original charm and atmosphere.

“Good poem!”

Suddenly, someone praised Gao Xian loudly from behind, interrupting his melancholy mood.

Gao Xian was shocked. With his spiritual power, he didn't even notice the person behind him. From the sound, he knew the other person was very close to him.

He turned around slowly and saw a young man in white standing ten steps away.

The boy's facial features were extremely handsome. He had the delicacy of a girl yet the vigor and heroism of a boy. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He wore a gorgeous silver hibiscus crown on his head, and a white robe that was as clear as snow and as flowing as clouds. He had a green jade ring tied around his waist and a silver sheathed long sword hanging on one side.

The young man in white was looking at Gao Xian with eyes as bright as stars. His face was full of admiration and joy, and he seemed to particularly appreciate and like the poem that Gao Xian had just recited.

Gao Xian felt unhappy and a little wary when someone approached him so silently, but when he saw the boy's appearance and demeanor, he found him quite pleasing to the eye.

There is a mysterious compatibility between people.

Some people feel that the other person is unpleasant to the eye when they meet for the first time, and they find the other person awkward no matter how they look at him or her.

Some people feel close and compatible with each other when they meet for the first time.

There is no logic in this, most of it comes from an instinctive judgment.

Gao Xian felt that the young man in white was pleasant to the eye. He also liked the graceful and agile feeling of the white clothes that were as flowing as clouds. He appreciated his handsome appearance and the frank and unrestrained look between his brows.

He was used to observing others with the Flower Mirror. No matter how much he admired them, he still had the necessary vigilance.

The white-clothed young man had a magical aura that was so strong that even the flower-detecting magic mirror could not tell how deep or deep it was.

As for the Dharma crown and robes on the young man, although Gao Xian could not identify the grade, he could see clusters of bright and brilliant spiritual light, which indicated that they were of at least the second grade.

Although the sword at the boy's waist was hidden in a sheath, the divine light faintly rippling on the sword's edge was extremely sharp, yet as ethereal and mysterious as clouds, difficult to measure.

Just looking at this sword, it is even more exquisite than the sword in Yun Taihao's hand.

Gao Xian's heart trembled. Yun Taihao was a Jindan Zhenren and the leader of Lianyun Sect. He had great status and wealth.

The sword Yun Taihao was wearing was probably top-tier among the third-tier ones. However, the boy's sword was even better than Yun Taihao's, so it was easy to imagine how terrifying this boy's identity was.

Just looking at this young man himself, his cultivation should have reached the foundation-building level.

It is very rare for a true disciple of Lianyun Sect to build a foundation at the age of thirty. This boy is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has already built a foundation. He must be a true disciple of a famous sect! How could such a person come to Dajiangfang? Gao Xian thought of the mysterious guest across the courtyard of the inn. He was almost certain that the boy was the mysterious guest who set up the magic circle in the courtyard.

Gao Xian's face remained expressionless as he thought about it. He bowed politely and said, "I am Gao Xian from Lianyun Sect. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

The young man in white smiled and bowed his head in return: "I am Yun Qiushui, and I am honored to meet you, Taoist friend Gao."

This person's manners were elegant and graceful, and his whole body exuded an air of nobility that was as high as the sky and untainted by the mundane world.

It is impossible for an ordinary cultivator to have such a bearing. Even Zhou Yuling, who has had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, does not have such self-confidence, elegance and nobility.

Yun Qiushui then explained, "I came here to watch the river under the moonlight. When I heard the Taoist's wonderful poem, I couldn't help but lose my composure. I disturbed you. I am guilty."

He turned around and asked curiously, "Do you have any next words?"

Gao Xian still remembered a lot of "Spring River Moon Night", but most of the verses in it did not fit the current situation.

He sighed softly: "These are just some verses I have read occasionally in ancient books before, but I don't remember the rest..."

When he heard the young man's surname was Yun, he couldn't help but think of the Qingyun Sect which was in charge of the Qingyun Dao.

The lineage of the leader of Qingyun Sect has the surname Yun, which has been passed down for who knows how many years, and the surname Yun has spread everywhere.

It is said that Yun Taihao, the leader of the Lianyun clan, was from a branch of the Yun family.

He is so imposing at such a young age, and his surname is Yun, so he must be related to the Qingyun Sect.

Gao Xian thought for a moment and decided that he couldn't take everything this person said seriously. No matter what, there was no need for him to offend such a person.

Yun Qiushui looked at the moon sinking into the river, and said with a little regret: "This poem has a lofty idea, but it's a pity that there are only fragments!"

He then said, "This night, this moon, this river, and this sentence are already worth drinking three cups in a row. Meeting a Taoist friend who has such an outstanding temperament is also worth drinking three cups in a row."

Yun Qiushui said enthusiastically: "Fellow Daoist Gao, I'll treat you to a drink! Let's go..."
