Chapter 214 Improvement
The higher the level of a spiritual object, the more it should not be used indiscriminately.
Qinnan ate the green golden fruit and benefited from it in the short term, but it also caused her body to become abnormal.
Gao Xian helped Qiniang resolve the alienation effect of the Green Lazuli Fruit. He used the Tiangui Lingdan, the Yin-Yang Wheel, and the Electric Light Dragon Hand. It took several years to completely solve the alienation problem.
If this peach is a third-level green gold fruit, the alienation effect cannot be resolved at all. For cultivators, it is simply poisonous! Gao Xian and Qi Niang have tasted the power of green gold fruit, so they naturally dare not eat it carelessly.
The two studied it repeatedly, but still couldn't figure out what this peach was or what specific effects it had.
Gao Xian actually tried to use the Temple of Heart to test the effect of the peach. He could materialize the peach in the Temple of Heart, but the Temple of Heart would collapse as soon as he touched the peach.
Obviously, the Temple of Mind cannot deduce any relevant changes about this peach.
It was a third-rank spiritual object, and neither Gao Xian nor Qiniang could determine its value.
The two of them did not dare to take it out to have someone identify it, in case it turned out to be too valuable, it would cause countless troubles.
There was no other way, the two could only compile and check ancient books, hoping to find something starting from the clues of the lapis lazuli fruit.
The Lianyun Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and many classics are collected in the Sutra Hall.
Given Gao Xian and Qin Niang's current status, it would be easy for them to go to the Sutra Hall to look up ancient books, but neither of them wants to do so.
Entering the Sutra Hall was equivalent to telling Yun Taihao clearly what they were looking for, which would easily attract the attention of the sect leader.
After the battle at Pegasus, both of them were particularly wary of Yun Taihao.
Even though Yun Taihao seems to respect them now, if Yun Taihao knew that they had third-level spiritual objects, who knows what this guy would do.
Before Gao Xian and Qiniang could figure out the situation, the New Year had already passed.
This year's New Year's Eve was quite lively. Wan Yingying, Daniu, Xiaobai, Xiaoheimiao, Gao Xian and Qiniang, the whole family gathered together and had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner together.
Gao Xian was busy at the underground ruins during the Chinese New Year last year and missed out on the family reunion this year, and he was quite emotional.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. Yingying is fourteen years old, Nan Tianshou is four years old, and Daniu has obviously become much calmer and more mature. Only the little black cat is still as cute and silly as ever.
Qi Niang has changed, she is less gloomy, more generous and calm, and there is a bit of vigor and brilliance between her eyebrows. She looks much more beautiful.
Gao Xian felt both emotional and happy when he thought about this. As time passed, everyone became better, including himself.
In the past two years, he has been living a smooth life. If it weren't for the pursuit of immortality, if it weren't for Yun Taihao's bad character, if it weren't for the bad situation of Lianyun Sect, it would be fine for him to stay in Lianyun Sect.
Gao Xian prepared generous gifts for everyone. Qiniang, Yingying, Da Niu, and the little ones were all very happy, including the little black cat.
After staying up all night, Wan Yingying and the others went back to rest. Gao Xian and Qiniang returned to their rooms to practice double cultivation and celebrate the festival happily.
On the first day of the new year, Gao Xian participated in the Lianyun Sect's New Year celebration for the first time as an outer sect elder.
Inside the sect's solemn hall, the sect master had not arrived yet, and many foundation-building monks were chatting casually in groups of three or five.
Gao Xian, who appeared for the first time, attracted everyone's attention.
Gao Xian and Qinniang stood side by side. As his vajra had reached the perfection of a master, he was now tall and slender, and was no shorter than Qinniang in height.
The two stood side by side. Qi Niang wore a golden crown and robe, looking stern and majestic. Gao Xian wore a lotus crown, a green robe and a sword, looking relaxed and at ease.
No matter what one thinks of Gao Xian, everyone has to admit that Gao Xian is an extraordinary person.
Many foundation-building monks rushed back from outside to participate in the New Year celebrations, including Yuan Siping.
Yuan Siping took the initiative to go up to Gao Xian and exchange pleasantries. He also introduced Gao Xian to several old foundation-building monks, all of whom were in charge of various towns and cities.
These people had never seen Gao Xian before, and they were extremely enthusiastic towards him when they met him for the first time.
During the past two years, Gao Xian has risen rapidly and is at the peak of his career in Lianyun Sect, with a great reputation.
Even if some people were dissatisfied, they would never show it in public. Wherever Gao Xian looked, everyone was smiling. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the sect was good, and everyone was very polite and friendly.
When the time came, Sect Master Yun Taihao entered the hall, and everyone lined up neatly and saluted together.
Yun Taihao swept his eyes over everyone and saw Gao Xian in the crowd. His gaze lingered on Gao Xian for a moment.
Gao Xian's eyes are as bright as stars, his facial features are handsome and profound, and his figure is tall and slender. He stands out among a group of foundation-building cultivators, and his demeanor and bearing are obviously far superior to his peers.
Although Yun Taihao didn't like Gao Xian very much, he had to admit that this guy was indeed something. Just his appearance was very extraordinary. No wonder Yun Qingxuan thought highly of him.
Yun Taihao presided over the celebration and led everyone to worship the heaven and earth and the sect's ancestors. Finally, he briefly summarized the sect's work last year and put forward some prospects and requirements for this year.
Finally, Yun Taihao encouraged many elders and true disciples, and praised Gao Xian alone.
Yun Taihao rarely praised individuals at the New Year celebration. This also made everyone think more highly of Gao Xian. This also surprised many foundation builders and made them think more highly of Gao Xian.
After the celebration, a group of foundation-building monks surrounded Gao Xian and greeted him warmly, and many of them insisted on inviting Gao Xian to drink with them.
Gao Xian didn't want to appear too arrogant, so he could only reluctantly follow Yuan Siping and other monks to Lichunyuan.
Everyone drank until the early morning and then went home in high spirits.
In the following days, foundation-building cultivators came to Gao Xian’s house every day to invite him to drink.
It was not until the seventh day of the New Year that the continuous banquets were stopped.
Gao Xian doesn't like socializing much, but he can't resist other people's enthusiasm. It feels so good to be flattered by a group of people!
Such banquets were not meaningless entertainment. Drinking together could quickly enhance relationships. After a few days, Gao Xian got to know most of the leaders of the market.
He got very favorable prices for the flesh and crystal cores of the second-level monsters he harvested in the Nanluo Mountains through these foundation-building monks, or exchanged them for the resources he needed.
Gao Xian earned 100,000 spirit stones through this transaction. If he sold these second-level monsters to Yunshui Tower, he would lose at least 20,000 spirit stones.
Gao Xian was quite satisfied with the result. He now had a deposit of forty high-quality spirit stones.
Among the foundation-building cultivators, he can definitely be called a wealthy man.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Xian took time out to take Wan Yingying to watch the fireworks and lanterns.
People in the world of cultivators do not eat Yuanxiao, but they still have Yuan fireworks and lanterns. This may be due to the human race’s yearning for light and their love for the flames that illuminate the night.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Xian returned to his normal working state, refining elixirs, practicing, petting cats to relieve boredom, teaching Yingying martial arts, and practicing dual cultivation with Qiniang.
Until one day in early March, Gao Xian, who was practicing, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then his heart shook slightly, and a strong essence surged out from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.
This essence circulates for dozens of times before it is gradually absorbed by the body.
Gao Xian slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. After more than three months of recuperation, his body that was severely injured by the four-armed demon monkey had finally recovered, and his cultivation level had reached a higher level, reaching the second level of foundation building.
It has only been three years since he started building his foundation, but he has already reached the second level. His progress is extremely rapid.
It also took Qinnan four years to break through to the second level of foundation building. That was when she took the path of body refining, which gave her a huge advantage in the essence refining stage.
In addition, she had taken the thousand-year-old jade marrow and practiced with him in the Wind and Fire Cave, which had yielded great results. Her alienated body also gave her a strong foundation, far surpassing her peers.
He was practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, which was a balanced, neutral and peaceful practice. He was unlikely to go astray, but his progress was the slowest.
I was able to break through so quickly thanks to Monkey King. His flesh and blood are so nutritious.
This time, Qi Niang also benefited greatly from it. She was about to reach the third level of foundation building! Gao Xian opened the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and saw that his life span had increased by twenty years, reaching four hundred and forty years.
By this calculation, when he reaches perfection in foundation building, his life span will be at least six hundred years.
After entering the Mind Temple for testing, his spiritual awareness increased slightly, his magic power increased by 20%, and other aspects also increased slightly.
The improvement of foundation-building cultivation may seem small in all aspects, but in fact it is an all-round growth, and the combined growth is huge.
Gao Xian was very satisfied with the improvement effect of the second level of foundation building. He took out the black and red hexagonal crystal core left to him by the four-armed demon monkey from his storage bag.
He had been injured before and did not dare to use this spiritual object carelessly.
Now that he has reached the second level of foundation building, he is in perfect condition and can try to use this spiritual object.
The crystal cores of third-level monsters have many uses. They can be used to refine magic tools, refine elixirs, and can be used to fuse and absorb to generate magical powers, etc...
A second-level monster crystal core can be sold for between two thousand and tens of thousands of spirit stones, depending on its level.
At the third level, the price would increase by at least twenty times. Because the third-level monsters were equivalent to golden elixirs, the lowest level of the third-level monster crystal cores condensed all the power and magical powers of the monsters.
Gao Xian didn't know the rank of the four-armed demon monkey, but he knew that the four-armed demon monkey could fuse the magic powers of ice and fire, and its special magical powers also made its crystal core very rare.
According to his estimation, the black and red crystal core in his hand could be sold for at least three or four hundred thousand spirit stones.
If this thing wasn't just for his needs, he would have wanted to sell it. With a lot of spirit stones in hand, except for the sect's secret formulas, most other resources can be bought with spirit stones, at least at the second and third levels.
September is the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. Ever since Gao Xian witnessed the power of Yun Qingxuan, he knew that the world is vast and there are many strong and talented people emerging.
The Lianyun, Qingfeng, Shaoyang and Chiyan sects are just the four most marginal small sects under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.
If you want to dominate the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, I'm afraid you are not sure of success with the power you have now.
The Green Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword is his ultimate move, and he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
The origin of the Vajra also has its own problems. Others would certainly be suspicious when they see him making such a powerful Vajra.
After all the calculations, apart from his swordsmanship, the Lingxi Sword is the only relatively powerful means for him to defeat the enemy.
Other techniques such as Ice Arrow and Flame Bomb are good for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers, but they are not powerful enough against strong enemies and cannot defeat the enemy.
Gao Xian glanced at the black and red crystal core in his hand, hoping that this thing could help him upgrade the level of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire and break through the limits of ice arrows and flame bombs.
He closed his eyes and silently used his spiritual consciousness to communicate and resonate with the black and red crystal core. The black and red spiritual light in the crystal core suddenly became stronger...
