Chapter 162 Lingxi Sword (ask for monthly ticket!)
"You absorbed the essence of a female foundation-building cultivator?!"
Zhu Qinnan was such a calm person, but after being stunned for a while, she still couldn't help but confirm with Gao Xian again.
The method of Cai Bu has always been to rely on the strong to bully the weak and the superior to oppress the inferior, so that one can benefit from it.
According to Gao Xian, the other party was a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and she had specialized in the secret art of collecting and replenishing energy, but she was killed by Gao Xian!
Gao Xian killed Zhu Changsheng because Zhu Changsheng was careless and incompetent. In addition, Gao Xian's secret skills were mysterious and unpredictable, and the Qinglian Feihong sword in his hand was indestructible.
All these factors combined made it possible for Gao Xian to defeat a great cultivator of foundation-building stage with his Qi-cultivating body.
The problem is that Gao Xian is with that woman, so these methods are useless. How did he manage to defeat the other party and plunder his life essence?
Gao Xian nodded affirmatively, trying not to look complacent. After all, his method was not very good.
Zhu Qiniang was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "The Vajra Pestle is indeed powerful!"
Gao Xian laughed and said modestly: "It was a fluke. This witch walked into her own trap and sought her own death. She deserved what she sowed and reaped the fruits of her own action..."
Zhu Qiniang felt something was wrong, so she interrupted Gao Xian and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I will pretend to be Bai Yurong for two days, and then disappear. No one will suspect me then."
Gao Xian handed the storage talisman to Zhu Qiniang and said, "Help me deal with it."
He has already taken away the storage bags, swords and other magical weapons of Bai Yurong and her sister.
He didn't touch the rest, such as the robes and personal belongings. The main reason was that he had Qi Niang, who could examine him in detail.
This was the main house where people lived, so it was not convenient to deal with the corpse. Zhu Qiniang took the storage talisman and went to the empty wing room.
Gao Xian took advantage of the time to check the storage bags of Bai Yurong and her sister.
In addition to some magic tools and elixirs, the two people's storage bags also contained a large number of spirit stones. A total of eleven red high-grade spirit stones, which is 110,000 low-grade spirit stones! There are also 130 medium-grade spirit stones, a total of 120,000 spirit stones.
Gao Xian was a little dizzy at the sight of so many spiritual stones. He knew about the top-grade spiritual stones, but this was the first time he had seen one in person.
Gao Xian quickly came to his senses and realized that the 120,000 spirit stones must be the legacy of his teacher Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan was about 170 to 180 years old, and he had been building his foundation for at least 100 years. He was also so stingy and greedy.
Even if you can save 3,000 to 4,000 spirit stones a year, you will have 300,000 to 400,000 spirit stones in a hundred years. Therefore, such a large amount of spirit stones is not an exaggeration.
Zhu Changsheng doesn't have many spirit stones because he has a big family and he also has to run Changshengtang, so he can't have much cash on him.
Gao Xian played with the red high-quality spiritual stone, and couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face. Who doesn't like money, unless it's Jack Ma!
Zhu Qiniang came back soon, and she couldn't help showing her joy when she saw the top-grade spiritual stone in Gao Xian's hand. Top-grade spiritual stones are very rare.
She knew that time was precious and hurriedly said, "The robes and magic tools they wear are of very high quality, especially the one who is building the foundation. He wears a second-level robe and magic tools. It's very luxurious."
Normally speaking, a great foundation-building cultivator like Zhu Changsheng, who is over a hundred years old, has lived a long life and naturally accumulated a lot.
It is very abnormal for a great monk who has just established his foundation to have a set of second-level magical weapons.
"The combined value of their swords and magic weapons is about 70,000 spirit stones. It shouldn't be a problem to process it through Yunshui Tower."
Zhu Qinnan still trusts Yunshui Tower. On the one hand, Yunshui Tower is very powerful and cannot be associated with a small sect like the Qisha Sect.
On the other hand, she has cooperated with Yunshuilou many times, and the other party is very reliable.
Gao Xian exclaimed: "My teacher's wealth accumulated over a hundred years has all gone to them!"
He added with some emotion: "Master, if there is still a spirit in heaven, let them fall into my hands. Those properties should be inherited by me, the direct disciple!"
Zhu Qinnan found it somewhat amusing. Gao Xian was really good at making excuses for himself. This might not fool others, but it should be enough to fool himself.
She said: "With so many spirit stones, I can help you buy thousand-year-old jade."
Millennium chalcedony is jade that has been refined into liquid in the earth's fire. After thousands of years, it slowly solidifies into jade.
The pure spiritual energy of chalcedony can penetrate the blood vessels and internal organs, strengthening the whole body inside and out. It has a very good effect on cultivators below the Jindan level.
Because of its wide range of applications and excellent effects on strengthening the body, Millennium Chalcedony is very expensive.
The usual price is ten thousand spirit stones per drop.
Zhu Qinnan was worrying about how to raise spiritual stones, when suddenly a windfall came and solved all her problems.
Gao Xian said: "I have absorbed a lot of essence, and I don't know how to digest it for the time being. There is no need to worry about the thousand-year jade marrow."
Zhu Qinnan had no experience in this area and didn't know how to solve it.
She said, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone."
"By the way, look at this flying sword."
Gao Xian handed the platinum bracelet to Zhu Qinnan. He had studied it for a long time and finally confirmed that it was a flying sword.
The bracelet looks like platinum, with a simple and rustic shape. There is a rhinoceros-shaped pattern engraved on the outside, and complex cloud patterns engraved next to it.
The cloud patterns were too complicated. Even if Gao Xian read through "The Secret Explanation of Cloud Patterns" he could not remember so many of them.
The main thing is that moiré is different from text, and the patterns are very similar. Commonly used moiré is fine, but uncommon moirés really require some reading.
By comparing with "The Secret Interpretation of Cloud Patterns", Gao Xian finally figured out the meaning of the cloud patterns on the platinum bracelet: the Lingxi Sword that divides water and wards off evil spirits.
He is now more interested in the Water-Dividing and Evil-Repelling Spiritual Sword, but it is still difficult to judge the grade of this flying sword.
Zhu Qinnan took the platinum bracelet. She was not as good as Gao Xian in terms of cloud patterns, but she was very familiar with various refining materials.
As soon as she got the platinum bracelet, Zhu Qiniang's face changed slightly. She carefully examined it inside and out for a long time before she said uncertainly, "The bracelet seems to be made of Gengjin and some other materials. The quality is very high."
"The bracelet is so small, how do you put the flying sword?" Gao Xian asked.
"This bracelet should be a sword box. Like a storage bag, it has a separate space inside. The difference is that the sword box can gather spiritual energy to nourish the flying sword. If the flying sword is damaged, it can also be restored to its original state through the nourishment of the sword box..."
Zhu Qinnan didn't know much about flying swords, but she was more than capable of explaining them to Gao Xian.
"oh."
Gao Xian asked curiously, "Why is the sword case of the Red Flame Sword so big?"
"Your sword is a scabbard, not a sword case. They are completely different."
Zhu Qiniang said: "As far as I know, ordinary second-level flying swords rarely use sword cases. This flying sword is definitely not ordinary!"
"Is there anything taboo about refining a flying sword of this grade?"
Gao Xian was still very interested in flying swords, although he seldom used the Red Flame Sword because the Red Flame Sword was too impractical.
He asked, "Should I buy a book on sword techniques for practicing swords?"
"Sword cultivators follow the path of uniting body, mind and sword, which is very dangerous. It is true that as long as the sword is alive, the person dies. Of course, once a sword cultivator has achieved some success, he can really sweep away those of the same level..."
Zhu Qinniang did not approve of Gao Xian's path of sword cultivation, as it was too extreme.
Sword cultivators are good at killing, but cultivators seek longevity and long life. Fighting is a part of a cultivator's life, but not all of it.
She knew Gao Xian very well, and Gao Xian was not extremely paranoid.
If you can't take the sword as your only concern, you won't be able to go far on the path of sword cultivation.
Zhu Qinnan was afraid that Gao Xian would go astray, so she emphasized all the disadvantages of practicing swordsmanship.
The effect was immediate, and Gao Xian immediately lost interest.
Gao Xian had a clear understanding of his own family. He was afraid of death, greedy for money, lustful, and covetous of comfort. He could not live and die for the sword, and only have the sword in his heart! Having given up his fantasy, Gao Xian was no longer so interested in the Spiritual Sword of Dividing Water and Exorcising Evils.
He said to Qi Niang, "I will stay at Xu's house for two or three days. Don't touch these things for now. I'll talk about it when I come back."
Zhu Qiniang said, "I will wait at home for the next two days. If you need anything, send out the Golden Butterfly Talisman and I will rush over to help you immediately."
The Golden Butterfly Talisman is divided into a male and female pair. Within a hundred miles, the male and female talismans can communicate through magic resonance and breathing.
That time, Gao Xian was blocked by Xu Lingyun and almost got into trouble. After he came back, Zhu Qinnan bought the pair of golden butterfly talismans so that Gao Xian could contact her in an emergency.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Gao Xian hurried back to Xu's house with his shadowless robe and entered the main room. He checked the talismans left on the doors and windows, which would be triggered if someone came in.
Looking at Chunxiang again, she had been staying at the door of the side room and had not left.
After making sure that everything was alright, Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was in Bai Yurong's room, the various furnishings in front of him, such as the eight-panel screen with eight fairies, the yellow pear wood couch, the double-handled vase, the animal-head incense burner, etc., were all women's aesthetics, with the flavor of Bai Yurong.
Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh. Bai Yurong was just her spy, and it had nothing to do with him. Why did the sisters want to harm him? He still couldn't figure it out. Just to covet a little essence? Thinking of Bai Yurong's sister, Gao Xian thought of the huge amount of essence he had absorbed.
The woman wanted to absorb his essence, but he counterattacked and lost her life.
The main thing is that the vajra is as hard as a diamond and unshakable, and the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon method is good at devouring the essence and cultivation of female cultivators.
After this battle, he absorbed 60 to 70 percent of the woman's essence.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The dual cultivation of yin and yang, Qian and Kun can cooperate with each other to operate the spiritual power. For example, the one-sided plundering method such as the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon can only absorb the other party's life essence.
The spiritual consciousness and magical power depend on the cultivator. No matter what method is used, it is impossible to plunder the spiritual consciousness and magical power of others.
If these two powers are separated from the cultivator's body, they will lose their foundation of existence and cannot be transformed into other powers.
The so-called essence is the source of life for the cultivator, and is the vitality formed by the integration of body and spirit.
You have to know that the woman is a foundation-building cultivator. She cannot digest such a huge amount of essence in a short time, so it will be temporarily in the hands of the red dragon.
Gao Xian didn't feel well, as if he had eaten too much and couldn't digest it, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, with Sister Lan in charge of the situation, she was able to completely control the red dragon and wrap up the essence, so it had no actual impact on him.
He tried to practice the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, the Iron Dragon Hand, and the Great Vajra, but the effects on his digestion and absorption of the essence were very poor.
A large mass of essence condensed together, like a stone. Only by activating the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Technique could it absorb the essence power little by little and transform it into itself. However, the efficiency was very low.
At this efficiency, it may take one or two years to digest all of it.
In the afternoon, Chunxiang came over and asked what to eat in the evening. Gaoxian used the excuse that he needed to concentrate on practicing secret techniques for the next two days and asked Chunxiang not to disturb him.
The transformation technique was very magical, allowing him to completely transform into Bai Yurong. The Qingyuan Ruyi robe could also be changed at will. In addition, Bai Yurong's sword, flying sword and other magic tools were all in his hands, so the impersonation was even more seamless.
Gao Xian had lived in Zhou's house for two days and knew how Bai Yurong and Chunxiang communicated. He thought there were no flaws in his disguise as Bai Yurong.
I was afraid that Bai Yurong and Chunxiang might have some special communication in private, such as sleeping together or something like that, which might reveal their true identity.
Gao Xian just wants to stay for two days and then run away, and try to talk to Chunxiang as little as possible, so he thinks there should be no problem.
Staying in the room with nothing to do, Gao Xian couldn't solve the problem of essence, so he turned his attention to the Lingxi Sword.
According to what Qi Niang said, he could just forcibly break the spiritual mark on the flying sword. There was no sword spirit in the flying sword, so he would be fine no matter what he did.
Gao Xian's spiritual awareness was far superior to Bai Yuzhen's, and with the help of the Zhengyang Spear, he quickly destroyed the spiritual imprint on the platinum bracelet.
After opening the blockade of the platinum bracelet, his spiritual consciousness was finally able to enter the sword box and sense the Lingxi Sword.
Just as Qi Niang said, the sword case and the scabbard are completely different. Inside the sword case is a small closed space filled with Gengjin Qi. The Lingxi Sword is suspended in the air, and the sword body naturally breathes in and out Gengjin Qi.
The Lingxi Sword and the sword case fit together and are in a very stable state.
Gao Xian simply used his spiritual sense to stimulate it, but he was unable to pull out the Lingxi Sword.
He patiently used his spiritual sense to cultivate it for most of the day, and only at midnight did he pull out the Lingxi sword.
To be precise, the Lingxi Sword was pulled out using spiritual consciousness.
According to Qi Niang, for ordinary cultivators, a flying sword is just a sharp magical weapon, and there is actually no difference whether it is a knife or a sword.
Gao Xian disagreed. The smooth and elegant blade of the Lingxi Sword had an extraordinary beauty. Flying knives were not qualified to touch porcelain.
The Lingxi sword is one foot and three inches long, with a blade seven points wide, and as thin as paper. The blade has no hilt, and is transparent as crystal and as glossy as ice.
The Lingxi Sword was suspended in the air. From the front, one could only see a pinpoint of light. From the side, one could hardly see the outline of the sword.
The translucent blade can only be seen from a top-down angle.
According to Gao Xian, the Lingxi Sword is like a piece of transparent glass. It is so light and thin that it is difficult to observe with the naked eye.
The Lingxi Sword looks as thin as paper, but its actual weight exceeds that of the Qinglian Sword.
Gao Xian weighed it and found it weighed at least thirty-three kilograms.
The Lingxi Sword is also extremely sharp. With one slash of the sword, ordinary objects will be broken into pieces.
In order to test the Lingxi Sword, Gao Xian took out the Stone-chopping Sword he had used before. With one strike of the Lingxi Sword, the Stone-chopping Sword broke silently.
This also surprised Gao Xian greatly. The Stone-Cutting Sword was not cheap. It was considered a very good sword at the Qi training level. He had killed many cultivators with the Stone-Cutting Sword, and the sword blade was not damaged at all.
As a result, under the Lingxi Sword, the Stone-cutting Sword was as hard as tofu.
Even the Green Lotus Sword can only be so powerful when it is transformed into the Green Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword.
The Lingxi Sword is so sharp that Gao Xian has to be extra careful.
He doesn't have the ability to integrate his body and sword. If he is accidentally touched by the Lingxi sword, the consequences will be terrible.
Gao Xian tried to control the Lingxi Sword. This flying sword was very heavy and it consumed a lot of spiritual energy to activate it.
Bai Yurong's room was a little too small, but fortunately, the magic circle protection was enough to block out the sound, so no sound could be heard outside when she activated the Lingxi Sword.
Wherever the Lingxi sword passes, it will leave a thin hair-like bright light in the air, and the sword will make a clear and long whistling sound, just like the sound of plucking the strings of a musical instrument.
The faster the Lingxi Sword flies, the louder the whistling sound becomes, but even in its pitch it still remains clear and melodious.
It is like the phoenix singing in the sky, its sound is endless and spreads to all directions without fading.
Gao Xian was very surprised. The whistling sound of the Lingxi Sword was very special. With the clear and melodious whistling sound, even he, the sword pilot, felt his blood boiling.
The sword's whistling sound had a mysterious power that could shock the soul, but he couldn't quite describe how powerful it was.
After all, the room was too small. After Gao Xian became slightly familiar with the characteristics of the Lingxi Sword, he entered the Xinxiang Temple, where he could use his skills freely.
After some testing, Gao Xian roughly mastered the Lingxi sword.
With his powerful spiritual sense, he could only push the Lingxi Sword two hundred steps away at most. If it was farther, he would be unable to do it.
Controlling the sword does not mean holding the Lingxi sword with spiritual consciousness, but rather allowing the spiritual consciousness and the Lingxi sword to resonate and establish a stable and close connection.
The operating mode is probably similar to controlling a drone, but he needs to provide mana support for the Lingxi Sword, which is equivalent to charging the Lingxi Sword.
This process consumes both spiritual consciousness and mana, and is extremely complex and subtle. Although his spiritual consciousness is strong, his mana is at the level of Qi training.
Putting the Lingxi sword in a circle 200 steps away and then bringing it back will consume 20% of your magic power.
If he were to engage in a drawn-out battle with the enemy, his mana would simply not be able to sustain it. Although the Lingxi Sword was good, it was not able to withstand a long battle.
Gao Xian held the Lingxi sword in his hand and swung it lightly, and the water-colored sword light emitted a low and sharp whistle that broke through the air.
The Lingxi Sword has no hilt. Gao Xian said he was holding it, but he was actually pinching it with three fingers. Fortunately, he practiced Vajra, and his physical strength was very strong. Three fingers were enough to steadily control the 33-jin Lingxi Sword.
With the auxiliary control of spiritual consciousness, the Lingxi Sword can be controlled more stably and quickly.
"Close combat is also very useful..."
Gao Xian suddenly had an idea, which was very dangerous but very exciting!
(Three updates a day, do you see my sincerity?!)
