Chapter 191 Feixiantai
Gao Xian stood beside Yun Taihao, his eyes slightly lowered, with a respectful attitude of waiting for orders.
Yun Taihao felt a little annoyed no matter how he looked at this kid. He really didn't expect Gao Xian to dare to ask him for the five elements spiritual object!
This clause was not included in the agreement between him and Gao Xian. It was easy to refuse Gao Xian.
However, what Gao Xian said was also correct. If his cultivation level improved by one point, he would have a better chance of winning at the Four Sects Alliance Conference.
Yun Taihao wanted to use Gao Xian to enter the ring, not to kill him, but because he felt that Gao Xian did have some skills.
In the last battle with Pegasus, Yun Taihao discovered that Gao Xian was very powerful.
The first thing is that he quickly disappeared after entering the magic circle, and even the Yuanyang Mirror could not reflect any trace of Gao Xian.
Obviously, Zhu Qinnan, who is good at fighting hard, does not have this ability.
Secondly, Yun Qingxuan praised Gao Xian's ice arrows and flaming bombs, which shows his talent in these two spells.
Yun Taihao also inspected the battlefield at that time. The shattered body of the blood-clothed foundation-building cultivator also demonstrated the power of Gao Xian's magic.
He judged that at least five Blood-Clothed Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed by Gao Xian, including a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
The competition held by the four alliances is to compete for ranking positions.
Everyone agreed to send out three foundation-building cultivators to compete, one each in the early, middle, and late stages of foundation-building.
This kind of battle was as fair as possible and could also show the sect's great strength.
A sect cannot just look at how many cultivators it has in the late Foundation Establishment stage, but it must also look at the training of young people.
The one ranked first in the ring battle is undoubtedly the boss of the Four Sects Alliance. Although it is impossible for him to truly command other sects, he can undoubtedly take a great initiative in the alliance.
As the saying goes, only when the name is right can the words be justified.
The Lianyun Sect and the Qisha Sect fought a fierce battle, resulting in many casualties among the foundation-building monks and severe damage to the sect's vitality.
If Yun Qingxuan had not been asked to take action, the Lianyun Sect would most likely have been wiped out this time.
Yun Taihao hadn't originally thought about competing for first place, but when he saw Gao Xian, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Forcing Gao Xian to join the battle, it would be good if he could come first, but if he can't come first, it would be reasonable to keep Gao Xian.
Yun Qingxuan was speechless. This deal was a good deal.
Today Gao Xian took the initiative to ask him for the five elements spiritual objects, which made him a little confused.
Yun Taihao is the sect leader and a Jindan Zhenren. Of course, he would not be stumped by such a small matter.
He weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision, "Okay, I can give you the Five Elements Spirit Object first."
Gao Xian was a little surprised. Yun Taihao was so generous? He showed a look of surprise on his face and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Sect Master. I will fight to the death for the sect."
Yun Taihao laughed instead. This kid's slickness was quite interesting. He said casually, "Practice well and don't bring shame to our sect."
Yun Taihao encouraged Gao Xian and lost his patience to talk nonsense with this kid. He flicked his long sleeves and turned into a green sword light that shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Everyone bowed and saluted towards the sword light, and when the green sword light disappeared, everyone felt obviously much more relaxed.
Yuan Chongguang took the initiative to run over to find Gao Xian. He asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Gao, what did the Sect Master say to you just now?"
Gao Xian and Yuan Chongguang were not familiar with each other, so the other party just came over and asked directly. It seemed generous and straightforward, but in fact it was quite impolite.
Besides, in that battle, Yuan Chongguang left him, Zhu Qinnan and others behind and ran away so fast.
Yuan Chongguang still has the nerve to run away from him pretending to be innocent!
Gao Xian smiled in an ambiguous way, "The sect master has issued a strict order, so I dare not say more. If you are curious, please go find the sect master."
Yuan Chongguang was speechless. He had always thought Gao Xian was easy to talk to, but he didn't expect this guy to be so disrespectful and embarrass him in front of everyone.
Zhu Qiniang just happened to come over and said coldly, "What's the point of talking to a loser who deserted the battlefield?"
This sentence made Yuan Chongguang's face darken. He glanced at Zhu Qiniang and wanted to say something, but Zhu Qiniang's eyes were unusually sharp and tough.
Yuan Chongguang thought about it but felt too embarrassed to explain. He turned around with a gloomy face and left quickly.
Wang Chuan and Yun Feiying, who were not far away, also heard these words. Wang Chuan's face was gloomy, while Yun Feiying's face was blushing.
Yun Feiying has always felt guilty about her last escape. Since then, she has not dared to talk to Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang.
Gao Xian gently held Qi Niang's hand and said, "There's no need to talk about the past."
He did not agree with Zhu Qinnan's behavior. Saying this in public would only intensify the conflict and make Wang Chuan and others feel resentful.
Originally, Wang Chuan and his friends would have felt sorry for them and would have been more polite and friendly towards them.
Zhu Qiniang's words changed the delicate mentality of the three people. They became enemies in an instant.
Of course, Zhu Qiniang had been holding this anger in her heart for a long time. Now that she let it out, she must be very happy.
This is fine, at least I feel better! The other foundation-building monks didn't know the situation very well, but they could guess the general situation by looking at the expressions of both parties. The expressions of the group of foundation-building monks were somewhat complicated.
Gao Xian gave Wang Chuan and the others a meaningful smile, and he and Zhu Qiniang left hand in hand.
After returning home, Gao Xian just told Zhu Qiniang to be careful.
She felt happy, but she had to be on guard against revenge from others.
Zhu Qinnan didn't say anything. She suddenly took a long breath, and her bones crackled like thunder.
After three hundred and sixty consecutive rings, Zhu Qinnan's eyes flashed with lightning, and she opened her mouth and exhaled a long breath of white essence.
The energy was as sharp as a blade, extending several feet away. After a pause, the energy slowly dissipated.
Gao Xian asked with some surprise: "You have reached the second level of foundation building?"
Generally speaking, it is difficult for foundation builders to upgrade, and they only advance one level every twenty to thirty years.
Zhu Qinnan had only been building her foundation for four years. She was also a body-building cultivator, so her progress in cultivation was slower. The fact that she broke through to the second level of foundation building so quickly showed how talented she was.
"Yes, if you can get rid of the bad feelings in your heart and let your thoughts flow, you will advance."
Zhu Qinnan was also somewhat happy. She had been brooding over last year's battle, but she had never been able to find an opportunity.
Today, I was ridiculed in public and felt good, so my cultivation naturally broke through to the second level of foundation building.
She said to Gao Xian: "The so-called early, middle and late stages of foundation building, regardless of the differences in the cultivation methods, are all about refining the essence, energy and spirit. I am taking the path of body refining, so refining the essence is particularly easy.
"Condensing blood, bones, and essence, the three spiritual orifices are united, and the spiritual light of the life is ignited in the heart orifice, which is the middle stage of foundation building. When the spiritual orifices of the five internal organs are condensed and united, the spiritual light of the qi orifice is condensed in the lower dantian, which is the late stage of foundation building.
"The last step is to condense the spirit orifice again. The three orifices of essence, energy and spirit will condense into one place and become a golden elixir after a hundred refinements!"
Zhu Qiniang was an outer sect elder who had inherited the complete Hunyuan Golden Body Technique. She had been to Qingyun City twice and spent a lot of money to ask for advice from masters.
She hadn't told Gao Xian about this before because she wasn't sure whether her approach was suitable for him.
With this sudden advancement, Zhu Qinnan had a thorough understanding of the three levels of essence, energy and spirit, and she took the initiative to explain them to Gao Xian.
Gao Xian nodded. There were also detailed records in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, but the descriptions were slightly different.
In comparison, Zhu Qinniang's statement is simpler, more straightforward and easier to understand.
Zhu Qiniang continued, "Last year I accompanied you to the Wind and Fire Cave to practice body building. After taking the Millennium Jade Marrow, you made great progress in your cultivation. This year, you took the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill, and your body has already completed the accumulation.
"With enough spiritual objects and medicinal pills to support me, it seems easier to practice physical cultivation..."
"You are still extremely talented."
Gao Xian smiled and hugged Zhu Qiniang, "Let's celebrate. Let me see your ability at the second level of foundation building!"
Zhu Qiniang was a little unconvinced, "I won't lose to you this time..."
After a fierce battle between the two, Gao Xian was slightly better.
After all, his body has reached the late stage of body refining and foundation building. Although Qi Niang is gifted, she is still a little worse than him.
The next day, someone came and presented the five elements spiritual objects.
Earth crystal, blazing fire beads, black ice jade, red gold and copper, and Yi wood heart.
Gao Xian was quite happy. It was not easy to take advantage of Yun Taihao.
One kind of Five Elements spiritual object is not that precious. It is very troublesome to collect all five kinds of Five Elements spiritual objects.
If you go to Yunshui Tower to buy them, it will cost at least 100,000 spirit stones to buy all five spiritual items at once.
The price of a single kind might be less than 10,000 spirit stones.
Although Lianyun Sect is a small sect, it has a thousand-year heritage. Over a long period of time, it has continuously collected various spiritual objects.
For the sect, the cost of the five spiritual objects is very low.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry to practice the Great Five Elements Sword Energy, but he didn't expect that he could get the spiritual object with just a few words.
The five elements spiritual objects are of great benefit to the Great Five Elements Sword Energy. Every time Gao Xian absorbs a spiritual object, he can feel a huge progress.
In addition, the five elements spiritual objects are also quite beneficial to the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
In addition to refining pills every day, Gao Xian focuses most of his energy on the Five Elements Sword Energy.
He practiced like this for half a year. One day in July, Gao Xian, who was practicing, suddenly had five-colored divine light flashing all over his body, and it condensed into layers of white qi like a wall around him.
Under the urging of his mind, the white Qi transformed into thousands of white sword blades that shot outward.
The sword blade dissipated silently when it touched the wall, leaving behind densely packed sword marks some an inch deep on the wall.
When Gao Xian opened the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, he saw that the Great Five Elements Sword Aura had reached the second level.
The Great Five Elements Sword Qi reached the master level, and its power increased by more than 30%, while the consumption of mana was reduced. It was more freely controlled, and it could be said that it was gathered and dispersed at will.
He has reached the Grandmaster level in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, which proves that he has a deep and unique understanding of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
However, this has no direct relationship with the foundation-building level.
According to the data from Fengyue Baojian, if he practices step by step, it will take at least ten years to reach the second level of foundation building. This is because the Great Five Elements Gong is extremely advanced and has a super high operating efficiency.
In addition, the Qingfeng Sword Technique is only two thousand points away from the perfection of the Grandmaster level.
He can now increase his proficiency by five points every day of sword practice. In a year or so, his sword skills will be perfected by that of a grandmaster.
This level of swordsmanship is a bit stronger than that of a Jindan Zhenren. Well, let's use Yun Taihao as the standard.
Apart from that, the only thing left that can be upgraded is the Qiankun Wheel.
Gao Xian turned the Fengyue Baojian, and the spiritual light of humanity that he had accumulated for more than nine months had reached as much as 600,000.
Taizhen Puppet God, Thunder and Lightning Technique, Clone Technique, Yin-Yang Wheel, each secret technique has its own uses and can be upgraded by adding points.
Gao Xian thought it over again and again, and finally suppressed the urge to upgrade.
There are still two months left, he can wait a little longer.
From foundation building to golden elixir, the foundation is the body. Without the body to carry the soul, consciousness, and divine awareness, everything will cease to exist.
In September, the four sects formed an alliance. Before that, he had accumulated enough spiritual light of humanity to raise his vajra to the perfection of a master.
As a long-range attack mage, a longer health bar and higher defense will help improve survivability.
Only when you are alive can you produce results! Many people just don’t understand this truth…
Qi Niang said that the initial stage of foundation building is to condense the essence and blood of the body and condense the spiritual light of the essence.
Gao Xian’s understanding of this is that as long as the body is strong enough, this level can be easily overcome.
Compared to hard training, directly adding points to upgrade can save countless time, energy and resources.
He now has 480 years of lifespan, so even if he upgrades and loses 180 years, it won't be a big deal. This price is completely acceptable.
By August, Gao Xian saw that he had enough spiritual light from humanity, so he put all of it into the vajra.
In an instant, a three-pronged vajra emerged from the depths of his sea of consciousness.
The golden light emitted by the Vajra Dharma Image illuminates the entire body inside and out, and even the spiritual light of the spiritual acupoint between the eyebrows is tinged with a hint of gold.
The changes from the inside out lasted for most of the day before the golden light slowly converged and dissipated inward.
Gao Xian opened his eyes. The feeling of upgrading this time was very special. He did not feel the surging power in his body.
Every part of the body, all the power, including the flow of mana, and even every wisp of spiritual consciousness, are completely controlled by his mind.
He thought of a word: return to basics.
The Grandmaster's Vajra at the perfect state allowed him to easily control his body and mind.
The originally complicated changes in body, magic power, and spiritual consciousness became very, very simple.
Gao Xian's innate spiritual light was dyed golden, and the originally clear and transparent spiritual light like water turned platinum, showing an unshakable meaning of firmness and strength.
Gao Xian also noticed the change in his innate spiritual light. He tried it and found that the sensing radius of his spiritual sense did not increase. However, his spiritual sense was obviously more transparent and agile, and also had a bit more tenacity.
If the original spiritual consciousness was as ethereal as a hair, it would now become golden thread.
The most important thing is that his innate spiritual light has taken on some of the meaning of the strongest diamond, which allows him to easily resist soul spells, including evil spirit pollution and so on.
The Grand Master perfected the Vajra, unified his spirit, soul and body, and condensed it into an indestructible Vajra that could resist all external demons.
Gao Xian's mind moved, and a five-foot-long three-pronged vajra appeared in his hand.
This object was clearly condensed from magic, but its golden light was restrained and deep, and it appeared extremely heavy and hard, showing an indestructible strength.
Gao Xian knew without even trying that the Vajra was extremely powerful, and it could even be said to be his most powerful offensive spell.
Although not as sharp as the Lingxi Sword, its power and sharpness are a hundred times stronger than the Lingxi Sword.
Holding the vajra in his hand, Gao Xian even felt that he could smash Yun Taihao to pieces with one blow.
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
Although Yun Taihao, a Jindan Zhenren, might not be as strong physically as him, the endless magical powers condensed by the Jindan were beyond his reach.
Although the vajra is strong, it cannot be released. The power range is within ten steps.
Its applicability is far inferior to that of Ice Arrows and Fire Bombs, and is also inferior to that of the Great Five Elements Sword Force.
Can only be used as a killing move.
Gao Xian put away his vajra, opened the Mirror of Love and Lust, and saw that sixty years of his life had been subtracted from his lifespan, leaving him 420 years old.
Gao Xian felt it was worth it as his physical strength had now reached a certain limit.
In this state, he can completely control his own essence, blood, bones and flesh.
As long as the Great Five Elements Kung Fu adapts to his new body, within two to three years, he will be able to condense his spiritual energy and enter the middle stage of foundation building.
As September was approaching, Gao Xian spent most of his energy getting familiar with his new body.
He was able to fully control the huge changes in his body and soul, but when it came to his magic and physical skills, he needed to adapt to them again.
At the end of August, Gao Xian and Zhu Qinniang boarded the Aoki flying ship.
This neutral Qingmu flying ship is no more than seven feet long, divided into three floors, and has three cloud sails. It is not as majestic as a large flying ship, but its overall lines are smooth and beautiful, even a bit elegant.
In addition to the sect leader Yun Taihao, there were three inner sect elders on the Qingmu flying ship: Wang Chuan, Yuan Chongguang, and Yun Feiying. The others were all Qi training level cultivators, responsible for various miscellaneous tasks such as controlling the flying ship.
Zhu Qiniang's ridicule in public last time caused a bad relationship between the two sides. Wang Chuan and the others did not come over to talk.
Zhu Qinnan and Gao Xian had separate rooms, and they both enjoyed the quiet time.
The Aoki flying ship flew for a day and a night before reaching its destination, Feixian Island.
They were almost there, and Gao Xian and the others stood on the deck to watch the situation.
Yun Feiying, Wang Chuan, and Yuan Chongguang have all arrived. Even the sect leader Yun Taihao has come.
Looking down from the sky, the island below looks like a long dragon winding in the river. You can even vaguely make out the dragon's head, body, claws, tail and other parts. It looks quite magical.
Yun Taihao pointed to the middle area of Feixian Island and said, "That high platform is Feixiantai. It is said that in ancient times, someone ascended to heaven here. After Qingfeng Sect occupied this place, they transformed the high platform into a fighting arena. Over the past few hundred years, countless masters have died on Feixiantai."
He glanced at Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang, "The four sects are fighting each other. They said that they would stop when they are at their best, but no one will show mercy when they start fighting. Qingfeng Sect, Chiyan Sect, and Shaoyang Sect are all full of talented people and masters. It will depend on your abilities from now on..."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I will do my best to win and live up to the trust of the Sect Master."
Yun Taihao was a little surprised. Who gave this kid such confidence?! He really thought that he could be invincible with the Great Five Elements Sword Energy! He immediately smiled. It was better to be bold than to be timid. If this kid could really win first place, then the small pond of Lianyun Sect would not be able to support him. So what if he was let go?
Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang both had gloomy expressions on their faces, and they looked at Gao Xian with a bit of coldness in their eyes.
Gao Xiancai has only been building his foundation for a few days, yet he dares to speak nonsense here!
The other three sects all have profound foundations, especially the Qingfeng Sect, which is far more powerful than the Lianyun Sect.
The foundation-building cultivators of Qingfeng Sect are by no means comparable to the demon cultivators of Xuesha Sect.
Wait until Gao Xian gets on the Feixian Terrace and see how this guy dies! Yun Feiying was worried. She still admired Gao Xian very much. But Gao Xian was so proud and arrogant, his future was worrying...
