Chapter 179: In class

, Gao Xian said, "I am invincible without the golden elixir." This was just a boast to Qiniang, mainly to boost Qiniang's confidence in him.

Gao Xian knew very well that he was not qualified to say this.

Even though he has reached the late foundation-building stage in all aspects, and has four innate magical powers, secret skills such as the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, he is still far from being able to sweep the foundation-building stage.

The world is so vast. Not to mention those far away, even Yun Qiu Shui, whom he met in Dajiangfang, he didn't dare to say that he was sure of winning.

Yun Qiu Shui's sword alone is a third-level one, and the jade ring in his hand is even a third-level magic weapon.

According to Yun Qiushui, the rank of a magical instrument is determined by the number of layers of restrictions hidden inside it. Below the 36th layer, it is a low-grade item. The 36th layer is a medium-grade item. The 72nd layer is a high-grade item. The 108th layer is a top-grade item.

When the restrictions within a magic instrument reach the level of three hundred and sixty major perfections, it becomes a magic weapon.

After years of nurturing, the magic weapon interacts with the practitioner's mind and gives rise to its own wisdom and spirituality, which is called a spiritual weapon.

When the self-spirituality within a spiritual weapon is enlightened and becomes divine, and its nature is perfect, it can be called a divine weapon.

For a small sect like Lianyun Sect, magic weapons are extremely precious.

Gao Xian had a deep understanding of this. He had been in Lianyun Sect for several years and had never seen a magic weapon.

Including the Jindan Zhenren Yun Taihao, he didn't seem to have any magic weapon on him, at least he didn't see any.

Because of this, he didn't know how powerful the magic weapon was, but he thought it must be far superior to ordinary magic weapons.

For a foundation-building cultivator like Yun Qiushui, holding a magic weapon is enough to crush cultivators of the same level. Not to mention that Yun Qiushui came from a large sect and possessed various magical powers and secret techniques.

Mingzhou was divided into thirty-six counties, and each county was divided into thirty-six circuits.

Qingyun Sect is just one of the thirty-six sects in Wanfeng County, and Yun Qiushui is just a direct descendant of Qingyun Sect. In Wanfeng County, it is nothing.

It is conceivable that the vastness of Jiuzhou means that there are countless foundation-building practitioners in the major sects. And among them, how many peerless geniuses are there!

Gao Xian is very self-aware. With his current means and abilities, it is impossible for him to overwhelm the world and build a foundation.

He would not underestimate himself. In this corner of Tengshe Mountain, he is still very strong.

No one knows where the demon cultivators who invaded Pegasus came from, but if the opponent was really strong, they would directly wipe out Pegasus, and there would be no room for struggle.

If a powerful demonic sect were to enter the scene, it would be much easier to just flatten Jinxia Peak. Why bother with all that?

Judging from the current situation, these are all low-level, small-scale battles.

Gao Xian patiently analyzed the situation of Pegasus Group to Qi Niang. He said, "Both sides are in the testing stage. It won't be dangerous for us to enter now. After we get through this, we'll leave..."

Zhu Qiniang didn't want Gao Xian to take risks, so she said, "What you said makes sense, but the question is what to do if you encounter an accident? For example, if you encounter a Jindan Zhenren?"

"We are not gods. We cannot control everything in our own hands."

Gao Xian shook his head, "If we really meet Jindan Zhenren, we can only say that it is our fate. What else can we say?"

Without waiting for Zhu Qiniang to speak, Gao Xian continued, "We have always depended on each other. In this dangerous moment, we must fight side by side and protect ourselves together."

Zhu Qiniang had a complicated look on her face, she was silent for a moment and said, "In my heart I hope you will be with me, but I don't want to be so selfish.

"That's fine too. If we die, we can die together."

Gao Xian laughed dryly: "Don't raise the flag, let's just live well..."

The two made a decision and relaxed.

After preparing various elixirs, talismans and magical instruments for the journey, Gao Xian and Zhu Qinnan boarded the Qingmu flying ship together.

Wang Chuan, Pang Su, Yun Feiying and other foundation-building cultivators were all there. When they saw Zhu Qinnan leading Gao Xian over, they all looked puzzled.

The last time, it was Zhang Chunjiang who forcibly recruited Gao Xian. Logically speaking, an alchemy master like Gao Xian was an important asset to the sect and would not be recruited to participate in the battle.

This time the evil cultivators attacked Pegasus, and the situation was much more dangerous than last time.

During the war, the Foundation Establishment cultivators were unable to take care of themselves, and bringing a Qi Condensation cultivator along was of no use at all, and would instead be a huge burden.

Zhu Qiniang had to go, but why did she take Gao Xian with her? She wanted to take Gao Xian with her even if she had to die?

Zhu Qinnan bowed to Wang Chuan but made no attempt to explain.

Gao Xian, who was following behind Zhu Qiniang, took two steps forward. He bowed to Wang Chuan and said, "Mr. Wang, I want to take a boat to Feimaji. It's urgent and I didn't have time to tell you in advance. Please allow me."

Gao Xian was polite and courteous, yet calm and generous. He did not feel the slightest bit nervous when facing the great monk in the late stage of foundation building.

His voice was clear and gentle, and it sounded like the sound of gold and jade in everyone's ears, making people listen attentively.

Wang Chuan was also a little surprised. The Gao Xian in front of him did not change his appearance. He was still wearing a green robe and a sword, and a green lotus crown on his head. But his whole body looked transparent and clean, without a speck of dust.

Although Gao Xian was extremely handsome a few months ago, he still looked a bit vulgar.

Now he has become as wonderful as glass, transparent inside and out!

Is this enlightenment?!

When Wang Chuan thought of this, he suddenly realized that Gao Xian had established his foundation, and his demeanor and bearing had changed greatly, which made him impressed unconsciously.

He couldn't help but think of the words in the classics that described the ancient ascended immortals.

The sound is solemn and clear.

It is as rustling as the snow on the top of the mountain, as solemn as the breeze under the pines, as clear as the spring flowing over the rocks, and as bright as the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Not only Wang Chuan thought so, Yun Feiying, Pang Su and other foundation-building practitioners also had this idea almost at the same time.

These eight words are most appropriate for Gao Xian.

Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Fellow Daoist Gao has established his foundation. Congratulations."

"It was just luck." Gao Xian bowed again and was humble and polite.

Several foundation-building cultivators all had expressions of realization on their faces. No wonder Gao Xian’s demeanor was even better than before, it turned out that he had already established the foundation!

Yun Feiying had a complicated expression on her face. Last time, she wanted to win over the noble lady Zhu Qiniang, but Zhu Qiniang was indifferent to her, so she lost interest.

As a result, only half a year later, Gao Xian had already established his foundation! Yun Feiying really regretted it now. She should have been more careful with Gao Xian earlier, but now it was too late.

Both of them are foundation-building cultivators. I wonder how much it would cost to win them over.

Pang Su was secretly glad in his heart. He had felt that Gao Xian was extraordinary from the beginning, so he deliberately showed his goodwill to him.

I didn't expect that after more than half a year, the other party had already established his foundation! Fortunately, the grudge was settled. Otherwise, I would not have gotten any good results if I faced these two young foundation-building monks.

Pang Su reacted and stepped forward to congratulate him: "You have successfully established your foundation at such a young age. You have a promising future ahead of you. Congratulations!"

Yun Feiying also put aside his thoughts and came over to congratulate: "Daoyou has established the foundation, congratulations."

"Thank you everyone, I was lucky enough to succeed in building my foundation..."

Gao Xian exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and everyone was smiling and in harmony.

Wang Chuan said: "Our sect has added another foundation-building cultivator. This is a great joy. If it were an ordinary day, we would definitely send out wedding invitations to invite relatives and friends and hold a celebration for Brother Gao. Unfortunately..."

He shook his head. The situation in Pegasus was critical now. What was even more frightening was that there were also demon cultivators and monsters involved. Everyone in the sect was extremely nervous.

At a time like this, it is absolutely impossible to hold a celebration for Gao Xian.

Wang Chuan did not mention the matter of Xian taking the boat. He didn't know whether it would be a good or bad thing to go to Feimaji. More foundation-building monks and more combat power would be a great thing, and he couldn't welcome them enough.

Pang Su's old face also showed regret. "The foundation-building ceremony is very lively. The sect master usually attends in person and gives gifts in public. The sect master is still very generous..."

The celebration of foundation-building monks can be said to be the most glorious moment for every foundation-building monk.

Many foundation-building monks present were deeply touched by this. Even Zhu Qiniang, because of the special circumstances of her ascension, did not hold a celebration, but the sect master personally met her and awarded her a second-level middle-grade golden laurel robe.

It was indeed against common sense that Gao Xian, a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator, did not go to pay a visit to the sect master first, but instead ran to the Qingmu flying ship to go to the battlefield.

It was difficult for everyone to say it directly, so they could not help but give some indirect reminders.

Gao Xian understood what everyone meant, and he didn't care about the reward given by the sect leader.

If possible, it would be best not to take Yun Taihao's things. This would avoid owing favors to others and make it easier for you to leave.

Besides, Zhou Yuling’s safety is much more important than the gift.

Although Gao Xian was somewhat socially anxious, that was only relative. Compared to Qi Niang, he was simply a social master.

Chatting casually with a group of foundation-building monks, although he may not be very good at dealing with people, at least he will not let anyone's words fall on deaf ears.

Everyone chatted on the deck for a while. As the speed of the Aoki flying ship increased, the strong wind in the sky became more and more violent, and it was becoming impossible to stay there.

Wang Chuan asked everyone to disperse, and he took Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang back to his room.

As the head of the sect's law enforcement hall, Wang Chuan has a very high status in the sect.

According to the order of rank, he can be firmly ranked in the top five. The Wang family is also a large family, backed by the Lianyun Sect and has flourished for hundreds of years.

Wang Chuan can be said to be the core of the sect, and is very closely tied to Lianyun Sect.

A new foundation-building cultivator has emerged in the sect, so Wang Chuan will of course do his best to win him over and show goodwill.

Especially at this critical moment, when people's hearts are in turmoil, the sect needs to show even more strong momentum.

It is a great omen that Gao Xian, the outer sect deacon, has completed his foundation.

After this incident, the sect will definitely hold a large-scale celebration, one to win over the wise men, and the other to boost morale.

Wang Chuan was quite polite to Gao Xian, and even showed considerable enthusiasm.

Gao Xian knew what Wang Chuan meant. Although he wanted to run away, he would not show such intention at this moment.

He exchanged some pleasantries with Wang Chuan and expressed his loyalty and love for the sect, which made Wang Chuan quite happy and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Zhu Qinnan remained true to herself and sat beside him without saying a word.

"By the way, what is your innate magical power?"

Wang Chuan smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, don't tell me."

He took the initiative to bring up this topic, mainly because he wanted to get close to Gao Xian. The innate magical power of a foundation-building cultivator is the most convenient to use, and it is almost impossible to hide it.

"It's not inconvenient. My innate magical power is the Great Five Elements Sword Force."

Gao Xian answered frankly. He would not show his other innate magical powers in public, but there was nothing to hide about the Great Five Elements Sword Power.

"The Great Five Elements Sword Aura, this is the most advanced innate magical power, fellow Taoist, you are so lucky."

Wang Chuan was a little surprised. There were many true disciples who practiced the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, but as far as he knew, no one had condensed the Great Five Elements Sword Aura in hundreds of years.

He looked at Gao Xian deeply again. This handsome young man really had some luck! "The Great Five Elements Sword Qi is extremely powerful, but it requires the cooperation of the Five Elements Spirit Objects to practice..."

Wang Chuan had some understanding of the Great Five Elements Sword Aura. After all, it was the most powerful magical power of the Great Five Elements. He casually explained to Gao Xian some tips for practicing it.

These tips were not recorded in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu that Gao Xian had learned. When Wang Chuan said this, he realized that there were many tricks to practicing the Great Five Elements Sword Gang...

After coming out of Wang Chuan's room, Gao Xian felt relieved. He was not afraid of Wang Chuan, but Wang Chuan's enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable.

The good thing is that the talk was not in vain, at least I learned how to practice the Great Five Elements Sword Energy.

Back in Zhu Qiniang's room, Zhu Qiniang sounded the mute note and said to Gao Xian, "What should I do?"

Gao Xian laughed. Qi Niang was really an honest person. She must have never seen such a scene before.

He has seen a lot of this. Wang Chuan's various promises are just like the pie in the sky drawn by the company leaders. They are not even as tempting as the pie in the sky drawn by the company leaders!

"Don't worry about Wang Chuan, let's do our thing."

Gao Xian said: "First, we need to find Yuling, and second, we need to get through this mission. We'll prepare to move after we get back."

Zhu Qiniang was a little worried, "I'm afraid the sect leader won't let me go."

“That’s a real problem.”

Gao Xian felt a little guilty when talking about this, mainly because he felt guilty towards Yun Taihao.

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

Yun Taihao's thundering blow had left a deep impression on him. Although he had built his foundation, he knew that he could not withstand Yun Taihao's sword. The gap between the two was too big.

Besides, there was no obvious reason why the two of them wanted to leave the sect.

Their names were both on the sect's roster, one an elder and one a deacon.

Whether selling elixirs or acquiring the Great Five Elements Merit, he was borrowing the identity of the sect.

In other words, the two of them took advantage of the sect. Now running away is indeed a little bit unfair.

Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow the plan. Don't rush. Let's see what happens first..."

There are still three years until the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, so they can wait.

If it really doesn't work, take out the Qingyun Order and go talk to Yun Taihao directly.

Gao Xian still treats the sect as a company, and it is normal for him to switch jobs when there is a better option.

They took advantage of the sect, but they also helped the sect. If he hadn't intervened, Pegasus would have been smashed to pieces long ago, and there would be no current situation.

In the underground ruins, he also killed three foundation-building monks from the Seven Evils Sect and a demon. It can be said that he made great contributions!

By this calculation, it is hard to say who owes whom between him and the sect.

Gao Xian convinced himself, but he didn't know whether Yun Taihao would agree with him...

The Aoki ship set out at night and arrived at Pegasus at dawn.

In May, the sun rises very early. It has already risen from the east, and the golden light fills the sky and the earth.

The mountains under the rising sun are green, quiet and full of vitality.

In Pegasus, which is surrounded by mountains, most of the buildings have been burned down, and the remaining beams and other wood are still burning. A large amount of smoke gathered above Pegasus, forming a huge smoke cloud.

Pegasus seemed to have become a ruin, with no one left.

Several foundation-building monks of the sect stood on the deck, each with a solemn expression.

Obviously, the dire situation of Pegasus was far beyond their expectations.

Gao Xian silently searched with the Flower-Jiangsu Spirit Mirror. His eyes could easily penetrate all kinds of material obstacles, which was much more useful than searching with spiritual consciousness.

He could see that there were people hiding in the basements of many rooms. These people had scattered auras and most of them were independent cultivators.

There are a few places that cannot be seen clearly, they must be protected by magical tools or formations.

Gao Xian's gaze turned to the refuge cave he left behind. There was a hidden magical power flowing like clouds, which made him happy.

Before he left, he left the Floating Cloud Flag to Zhou Yuling and told her to take refuge in the cave if anything happened.

There are floating cloud flags in the cave covering up the aura, it should be Zhou Yuling and her father.

Gao Xian switched the Flower-Jianming Mirror to the Illuminating the Netherworld mode. He was about to take a good look at the cave when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Powerful and powerful magical powers were gathering in the southeast, northwest and southwest directions.

In the Candlelight Netherworld mode, he can directly see the various changes in magic power.

The red magic power gathered from three places was so strong that it was almost dazzling.

Gao Xian knew that something was wrong. Someone was preparing to ambush them with a powerful magical weapon.

The group of people were using a magic array to cover themselves outside, and the distance between the two sides was several thousand feet, far beyond the range of many foundation-building cultivators' spiritual senses. No one on the deck noticed anything was wrong.

Gao Xian looked more carefully and could see that invisible magical powers formed a huge net, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

This is a magic circle!

Gao Xian didn't know what kind of magic formation this was, but he knew that it must be a powerful magic formation that controlled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth so strictly and orderly.

He also suddenly realized that the enemy had set up a large formation with Pegasus as the center and ambushed from all sides. This was a siege and attack!

"This time it's going to be terrible..."

Gao Xian felt something was very bad. Lianyun Sect was a bit too careless and was still responding in the usual way, but they didn't know that the other party had already set up a magic circle ambush, waiting for them to take the bait.

He didn't bother to hide his incompetence and hurriedly said to Wang Chuan: "Someone ambushed us in three directions..."

Wang Chuan looked in the direction Gao Xian pointed, but saw nothing and didn't notice anything wrong.

But he chose to believe Gao Xian. After all, there was no reason for Gao Xian to lie to him.

Although the other foundation-building monks all looked puzzled, they all took out various talismans and magic tools to prepare for contingency.

Wang Chuan even took out a black short bow and drew the bow and arrow at the location Gao Xian pointed.

The Cloud Piercing Bow is a very special magical weapon that can attack enemies from a distance, but the power of the arrows is entirely inspired by the Cloud Piercing Bow, and it is difficult to guide it with spiritual consciousness. For enemies of the same level, the threat is actually limited.

Before Wang Chuan made a move, he heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating, "bang bang bang". The sound was deep and grand, causing the heaven and earth to shake and roar.

A huge red crossbow arrow, about ten feet long, shot out from the ground, pointing directly at the Aoki flying ship.

The huge crossbow arrow carried a strong red light, dyeing the sky red wherever it passed.

At the same time, the other two ambushes were also launched. Two huge red crossbow arrows were also shot out at the same time, pointing directly at the Qingmu flying ship.

Three huge crossbow arrows shot from three directions, dragging blood light like a huge blood-red curtain, completely covering the sky.

The rising sun turned into a faint white dot under the blood-red screen...

Such power made many foundation-building monks on the deck change color!

"Seven Evils Killing God Crossbow!"

Wang Chuan shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly!"

Wang Chuan didn't bother to use the Cloud Piercing Bow. He just casually slapped a talisman, and with a flash of spiritual light on his body, he soared into the sky.

The other foundation-building monks had already made preparations for action, and upon seeing this, they activated their magic weapons and secret techniques to escape.

Gao Xian now also felt the terrifying power of the crossbow, which had definitely reached the Jindan level.

No matter how powerful his magic is, he cannot resist a third-tier magic weapon.

Gao Xian could only activate his Qingxia cloak, and a green light spread out behind him, carrying him as he flew out.

The green light was like rolling clouds and agile clouds, floating and swaying behind Gao Xian, leaving behind a faint green light band.

The Qingxia Cloak is one of the fastest second-level flying magic weapons. Under the control of Gao Xian's powerful spiritual sense, its speed is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Xian, riding the Qingxia cloak, was already dozens of feet away.

Zhu Qinnan followed closely beside Gao Xian, with a faint golden light flashing around her. It was the golden flying technique of the Jinluo robe itself, and the speed was equally fast.

At this time, three huge red crossbow arrows had already penetrated deeply into the Aoki flying ship.

Instantly, a red blood light suddenly burst out, and the Qingmu flying ship, which was more than ten feet long, broke apart and shattered in the violent blood light, turning into fragments all over the sky. Among them, it was unknown how much flesh and blood was mixed.

Gao Xian saw this scene clearly, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

Hundreds of cultivators on the Qingmu flying ship were killed by this attack.

Lines of blood appeared faintly above the sky, interweaving into a giant net that completely covered the sky.

Gao Xian did not try to break through the formation. The formation was very powerful and the Shadowless Robe would probably be difficult to penetrate.

Besides, charging into the formation at this time would attract too much hatred.

Gao Xian pulled Zhu Qiniang down quickly, as the ground was safer now. He could see that this magic formation covering an area of ​​dozens of miles was more like a cage, isolating the inside and outside.

As long as you don't actively attack the magic circle, there will be no danger.

To Gao Xian's surprise, Wang Chuan, Yun Feiying and Yuan Chongguang all rushed towards the giant blood-red net.

Pang Su and Huang Dapeng, the two foundation-building cultivators, stopped in mid-air, obviously a little hesitant, not knowing whether to follow Wang Chuan or land quickly.

Gao Xian's heart sank. Wang Chuan and the other two were not stupid. They must have something to rely on to attack the magic circle so directly.

Sure enough, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed from the bodies of Wang Chuan and the other two, and they slammed into the giant blood-red net with the strong golden light.

With a loud bang, three holes were created in the bloody net.

Wang Chuan and the other two who escaped ran away without looking back.

Gao Xian suddenly understood that Wang Chuan was the core of the sect, Yun Feiying and Yuan Chongguang were both the sect's true descendants, and they were both young and were the future of the sect.

Yun Taihao must have prepared high-level formation-breaking talismans for these three people to deal with this kind of situation specifically.

No, Yun Taihao had already guessed that Pegasus had an ambush. He deliberately sent Wang Chuan here to test the depth of Pegasus.

Therefore, they were all pawns thrown by Yun Taihao to explore the way.

Gao Xian figured this out and was no longer angry.

He stayed in the sect for the sake of profit, and the sect treated them as abandoned pawns for the sake of profit, but the sect did something even more ruthless! From the time Yun Taihao took action, it was clear that this person was cold and heartless, and liked to use others as pawns.

Gao Xian had seen Yun Taihao's methods and was not prepared for them. He could only say that he was too naive and Yun Taihao's methods were too advanced.

"Great, really great. I'm grateful for your advice." Gao Xian didn't know where Yun Taihao was, so he could only express his admiration for the sect leader in his heart.

He learned a lot from this lesson! (Six thousand words will not be divided~)
