Chapter 154 Refining the Divine Pearl

The main reason why Yun Qiu Shui stayed in Dajiangfang was because of this evil spirit.

The evil creature was so cunning and hid itself so secretly that he could not find it anywhere and had already decided to leave.

I happened to meet Gao Xian reciting poetry by the river tonight, so I became interested and went to Liuxiang Tower to drink with him.

Yun Qiu Shui didn't care about this kind of casual flirting. In his opinion, Gao Xian was attracted by the beauty and wanted to spend a night with her, which was actually an indulgence and release of his true nature, which could be described as romantic and unrestrained.

It would be boring if you like women but try to hide it.

Yun Qiu Shui didn't think much about it at the time, but when he saw Gao Xian leading the woman in white towards the long embankment, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Is it an open-air game? This is too bold..."

Out of respect for his friend, Yun Qiu Shui didn't look at him any further.

However, the long dike was soon filled with yin energy, which made Yun Qiushui sense something was wrong, and he immediately activated the Nine Transformations Yuanyang Jade Ring to condense into a Yuanyang Mirror.

Although the Nine-Revolution Yuanyang Jade Ring is only of the third level, it contains the Yuan Spirit and is a spiritual treasure of a higher level than magic weapons.

The Yuan Yang Mirror condensed from the Nine-Turn Yuan Yang Jade Ring can reflect the situation within a radius of ten miles.

Yun Qiu Shui opened the Yuan Yang Mirror and immediately locked onto Gao Xian. To his surprise, in the black fog caused by the evil spirit, Gao Xian actually took the initiative.

Moreover, Gao Xian cast the spell quickly and smoothly. Although it was a low-level spell, it was incredibly powerful.

The evil spirit was easily suppressed by Gao Xian's magic and had no power to fight back.

Yun Qiu Shui was really a little surprised. As long as a cultivator had a strong spiritual awareness and was taught by a famous teacher, it was not too difficult to cast low-level spells instantly.

Of course, it is too difficult for a Qi practitioner to cast a low-level spell instantly. Even disciples from famous sects find it difficult to do so.

Gao Xian's ice arrow technique was not only instantaneous, but also like a violent storm. The continuous stream of ice arrows shot instantly stunned the evil spirits.

It was because the evil spirit's body was as hard as iron that it was able to withstand this round of ice arrows. If it were any other Qigong cultivator, they would have surely died.

Even a great cultivator at the foundation-building stage would inevitably suffer losses if he encountered such a swift ice arrow technique without any preparation.

Following that, a flame bomb actually blew half of the evil spirit's body into pieces.

The flaming bombs were so powerful, and what was even more shocking was that the ice arrows and flaming bombs could be transformed freely, overcoming the barrier of the two magic powers of water and fire.

The Lianyun Sect where Gao Xian came from was just an inconspicuous small sect. The fact that he was able to practice low-level spells to such a level could only prove that Gao Xian had an extraordinary talent in magic.

Yun Qiu Shui had a carefree personality, and when he thought so, he did not hide his praise for Gao Xian's abilities.

As for the so-called good luck, it is because this evil crystal is very special.

Even if you kill ten thousand evil spirits, you may not be able to obtain this golden gem-shaped crystal.

Gao Xian did not have the knowledge of Yun Qiu Shui. He could see that the golden crystals were unusual, but he did not know how precious they were or what use they had.

He bowed to Yun Qiu Shui and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I was just lucky. This evil spirit is very unusual. It is actually quite intelligent and can disguise itself as a human without revealing any flaws."

Yun Qiushui nodded and said, "According to ancient books, this kind of evil spirit that can transform into a human and possess wisdom is called a charm. The spirit of a charm is powerful and is good at bewitching cultivators.

"After a demon is killed, it may condense a crystal core. This kind of crystal core is usually round like a bead, containing pure divine consciousness power, which can enhance the divine consciousness of the cultivator. Therefore, this kind of crystal core is called a divine refining bead."

Yun Qiushui smiled at Gao Xian and said, "The Soul Refining Pearls are also divided into different levels. This charmer is not even at the second level, but he was able to condense a golden Soul Refining Pearl. This kind of top-grade product is of great benefit to the foundation-building cultivators."

"I see. I'm really lucky."

Gao Xian nodded and accepted the instruction. It turned out that there were so many details involved. He put away the golden soul refining bead with a flick of his sleeve. This was a good thing and should not be wasted.

Yun Qiu Shui actually came here for the God Refining Pearl, but he was such a big shot that even if a passerby took the God Refining Pearl first, he would not bother to fight for it.

What's more, if it falls into Gao Xian's hands, he will only be happy that Gao Xian has obtained this spiritual object.

He reminded: "Golden Spirit Refining Pearl is extremely rare. This item is most suitable for breaking through bottlenecks. It can be used to enhance spiritual awareness and can also help practice spiritual soul spells, both of which have miraculous effects."

Gao Xian couldn't help but feel happy. His Great Puppet Divine Technique could no longer be improved after reaching the perfection of the Grandmaster. Perhaps using the Divine Refining Pearl could break through the limitation.

He bowed his hands earnestly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Taoist."

"We hit it off right away. Why do you have to say these strange words, fellow Taoist?"

Yun Qiushui waved his hand indifferently, and then asked curiously, "Daoyou, your ice arrows and flaming bombs are really powerful. I think I am also proficient in magic, but I am far behind you."

"I am a casual cultivator and cannot learn any sophisticated magic."

Gao Xian explained: "So I can only practice ice arrows and flaming bombs. After practicing for a long time, I have some understanding of my own..."

Gao Xian certainly wouldn't talk about the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, nor would he talk about the Mirror of Wind and Moon. He could only attribute everything to his own talent.

Yun Qiu Shui has the Nine-Turn Yuan Yang Jade Ring, which can illuminate Gao Xian's entire body through the Yuan Yang Mirror.

He could see that Gao Xian used his own magic power to launch ice arrows and flaming bombs, without using any magic weapons.

If this isn’t talent, then what is?!

He felt sorry for Gao Xian, who was so talented, but was actually a disciple of Lianyun Sect. What future could such a small sect have?

Yun Qiushui asked, "Are you an outer disciple of Lianyun Sect?"

"I am not actually a disciple of Lianyun Sect. I just have a status in the outer sect of Lianyun Sect."

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh when he said this. If he was really a disciple of Lianyun Sect, he wouldn't have run so far just for a secret method of foundation building.

Fortunately, his luck was overflowing. Not only did he make friends with Yun Qiu Shui, but he also got the Divine Refining Pearl.

"So that's how it is."

Yun Qiu Shui was quite familiar with the situation of these small sects, and knew that if a casual cultivator like Gao Xian wanted to gain a foothold, he had to join a sect.

However, it is impossible for a casual cultivator like Gao Xian to become a direct descendant of the sect.

He felt quite sorry about this. With Gao Xian's talent, if Lianyun Sect trained him well, he might have a chance to achieve golden elixir.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's not interesting for you to stay in Lianyun Sect, why not change places."

Gao Xian shook his head. This was easier said than done, but actually very troublesome.

He and Zhu Qinnan had finally gained a foothold in Lianyun Sect, and now they had to start all over again by moving to another place.

Although he could not obtain sect resources in Lianyun Sect, he could sell Lujiao Powder and Tiangui Pills, and could quickly obtain a large amount of human spiritual light.

There is also the method of building the foundation of the Great Five Elements, which must be obtained from the Lianyun Sect.

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

He has no plans to move in the short term.

Yun Qiushui said: "With your talent, you will definitely achieve something if you change to another sect."

Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, he continued, "I can introduce you to the Qingyun Sect. I'm sure you've heard of the Qingyun Sect, which is the leader of the Qingyun Dao and has a Yuanying Zhenjun in charge. It's thousands of times better than the Lianyun Sect."

Yun Qiushui hesitated for a moment when he said this, "However, Qingyun Sect has extremely strict requirements for its true disciples.

"You are not from the Qingyun Sect. If you want to become a true disciple, you must win the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, and then you will be accepted as a true disciple..."

"Qingyun Dharma Assembly?"

Gao Xian looked confused. He didn't know much about the Lianyun Sect, let alone the Qingyun Sect which was thousands of miles away.

"The Qingyun Dharma Assembly is held once every sixty years, inviting cultivators from all directions to discuss the Dao and compete in Dharma. The winner of the Qingyun Dharma Assembly will be granted the status of a true disciple by the sect."

Yun Qiushui patiently explained to Gao Xian, "It is precisely because the reward for the champion is so important that every Qingyun Dharma Assembly will attract tens of thousands of independent cultivators..."

"I see."

Gao Xian understood that Qingyun Sect used true disciples as bait and gathered millions of independent practitioners to fight in order to select geniuses among them.

According to Yun Qiu Shui, Qingyun Sect is the master of Qingyun Dao, and Yuanying Zhenjun is in charge.

For such a powerful sect, the identity of a true disciple must be extremely important.

He was somewhat tempted. If he could become a true disciple of Qingyun Sect, he wouldn't have to worry about how to practice in the future.

With the support of a big sect like Qingyun Sect, I wonder how much Tiangui Dan and Lujiao San can be sold for.

However, only the Tiangui Dan and Lujiao San that he refined could produce human spiritual light.

No matter how big the market is, the number of pills he can refine is limited.

No matter what, Qingyun Sect is much stronger than Lianyun Sect. Moreover, there is also this good friend Yun Qiushui to take care of him.

Gao Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "It's such a big deal, I need to think about it."

Yun Qiu Shui understood this very well. He handed Gao Xian a green bronze plate. There were layers of cloud patterns on the front of the plate, and the word "Qing Yun" was written in the middle of the cloud patterns.

"You keep this Qingyun token. The Qingyun Dharma Assembly will not be held until five years later. If you are interested, take the token and come to Qingyun City to find me."

Yun Qiushui added: "If I'm not here, I'll arrange for someone else to contact you. Just don't worry."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Gao Xian bowed sincerely to express his gratitude.

"We are of the same mind, so why should we be so formal?"

Yun Qiushui laughed and said, "Besides, you have extraordinary talent. Who knows, I may need your help in the future..."

"You are joking, fellow Taoist."

Yun Qiushui was in a good mood, "Let's go back to the inn and have a few drinks."

He then said to Gao Xian, "You can't cheat this time."

Gao Xian laughed dryly. As expected, Yun Qiushui saw through him. But this friend was not bad. At least he didn't expose him on the spot, which saved him a lot of embarrassment.

The two returned to the inn room, and Gao Xian opened his arms and drank heartily with Yun Qiu Shui.

Mainly because Yun Qiu Shui told him a lot of sect secrets and also gave him a lot of important advice on cultivation.

These tips are easy to say, but if no one points them out, Gao Xian may never figure them out in his lifetime.

Although Yun Qiu Shui is young, he is knowledgeable and has profound insights in spiritual practice.

Gao Xian really benefited a lot from Yun Qiu Shui's guidance.

By the end of the drinking, Gao Xian and Yun Qiu Shui were both drunk. Yun Qiu Shui held Gao Xian's hand and said, "Over the years, the demon cultivators and monsters in the East Wasteland have colluded with each other and are ready to make a move.

"I don't know when a huge change will happen in the Eastern Wasteland. Lianyun Sect is right at the border of the Eastern Wasteland and is in a dangerous situation. Even if you don't come to Qingyun Sect, you should make preparations early..."
