Chapter 238: Fame

"The man in white is Lu Shidao of the Liuhe Formation, a Xuanyang spirit body. Xuanyang is not Yang, but means that he is born with strong Yang energy in his soul. He is in the middle stage of foundation building, and his consciousness is far stronger than his peers. This person is gentle and elegant, and has a great demeanor.

"The one in the purple robe is Zhang Zhengxin of Xuanzhen Sect, a Taoist priest. He has an eight-wind spirit body and is good at thunder magic. He is also in the middle stage of foundation building, and his cultivation is extraordinary..."

Yun Qiu Shui used his spiritual sense to transmit the origins of the two cultivators to Gao Xian. He was quite familiar with these two and his introduction was quite detailed.

Gao Xian could tell from Yun Qiu Shui's tone that Lu Shidao was more like him, and Zhang Zhengxin was obviously more powerful.

Gao Xian glanced at Zhang Zhengxin, a man with five-figure official appearance, with a high bun, a bronze crown on his head, and a dark purple Taoist robe embroidered with runes representing the eight trigrams.

Taoists are all practitioners, but practitioners are not necessarily Taoists. There is a huge difference between the two.

True Taoists must worship the various deities of Taoism, receive precepts from their masters, and abide by various precepts. There are also very strict regulations on their clothing.

Cultivators are people who practice magic to pursue immortality. They are not bound by Taoist rules and regulations. They dress casually.

Just like the fishtail crown, it symbolizes a very high status in Taoism. People like Zhang Zhengxin, who have built their foundation, are not qualified to wear the fishtail crown.

Qiniang had a golden fishtail crown that she wore on her head all day long. This was because Qiniang was not a Taoist priest and did not have to abide by these rules.

Taoists abide by all kinds of complicated rules and regulations, but they can obtain blessings from Taoist deities, which makes their practice easier and their spells more powerful. Taoist spells can also restrain evil spirits and demons.

In short, being a Taoist priest is troublesome, but the benefits are greater.

Generally speaking, Taoist sects are also quite cautious about accepting disciples. It is impossible for ordinary practitioners to join a Taoist sect.

Although the Qingyun Sect is large, it is not a Taoist sect.

When Gao Xian went to meet Yun Zaitian Zhenjun, he discovered that Yun lived in a Taoist temple, wore Taoist robes, and looked like a Taoist priest from his appearance and speech, but he was not sure.

After all, he is a Yuanying Zhenjun, who has the power to move mountains and overturn seas. No one can control whether such a strong man believes in the Tao or not.

Zhang Zhengxin is the real Taoist priest. This can be seen from the simple bronze crown on his head.

Even those who are at the foundation-building stage must abide by the Taoist precepts, and their clothing and accessories must be suitable for their status.

Zhang Zhengxin was very perceptive. He sensed something just when Gao Xian's gaze lingered for a moment.

Zhang Zhengxin turned his head slightly and looked at Gao Xian. He didn't know Gao Xian, but he knew Yun Qiu Shui.

He bowed his head and said, "May you be blessed with great fortune, Brother Yun. It's been a long time since we last met."

"I haven't seen you for several years. Fellow Daoist has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building. Congratulations."

Yun Qiu Shui greeted Zhang Zhengxin with a smile, very politely but lacking a bit of enthusiasm.

Gao Xian has been with Yun Qiu Shui for a while now, and has gained some understanding of her personality.

Yun Qiushui's attitude clearly showed that she had no relationship with Zhang Zhengxin, so she was so polite.

Standing in the center of the stage, Lu Shidao bowed to Yun Qiushui with a look of surprise and said, "Friend Yun, nice to see you again."

His tone sounded quite happy, and it was obvious that he had a very good relationship with Yun Qiu Shui.

Yun Qiushui was obviously much closer to Lu Shidao. He laughed and said, "I heard that you and Fellow Daoist Zhang were here, so I came over to see you."

He pointed at Gao Xian and introduced him, "My best friend Gao Xian..."

Hearing Yun Qiu Shui introduce Gao Xian in this way, Lu Shidao showed some surprise on his face, and Zhang Zhengxin's eyes flashed and he looked at Gao Xian twice more.

Both of them knew how proud Yun Qiu Shui was in his bones. Being able to be called a close friend by him, it was obvious that Gao Xian held a very important position in his heart.

The two couldn't help but wonder who Gao Xian was that made Yun Qiu Shui value him so much.

Most of the other people present, as long as they knew Yun Qiu Shui, showed great interest in Gao Xiansheng, and looked at him in various ways, some of them with strong malice.

Of course, there are people here who know Gao Xian and know his origins.

For example, Li Feihuang, who was sitting below Lu Jingxu, was dressed in a gorgeous red robe and had a beautiful face. She was always the focus of attention of all the practitioners.

Li Feihuang seemed very low-key. She sat there quietly with her eyes slightly lowered. She seemed to have no interest in Lu Shidao who was talking, and she didn't even glance at Zhang Zhengxin who was speaking righteously.

It was not until Gao Xian appeared that Li Feihuang raised his bright eyes and stared at Gao Xian.

After not seeing each other for two years, Gao Xian looked more relaxed and unrestrained. He wore a green robe and a sword, and his figure was tall and slender. Even when he stood next to the handsome Yun Qiushui, who was dressed like a cloud in white, he would not be overshadowed by Yun Qiushui.

Li Feihuang has been training hard in the past two years and has been able to initially control the Scarlet Phoenix Sky Wing Sword. She originally thought she had every confidence in defeating Gao Xian.

But when she saw Gao Xian again, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, because she could not see through Gao Xian's cultivation at all.

She tightly grasped the hilt of the Scarlet Phoenix Sky Wing Sword at her waist. The fiery yet gentle and magical sword intent in the sword was intertwined with her spiritual consciousness, allowing her to initially control this third-tier spiritual sword.

Even so, Li Feihuang still had no confidence in defeating Gao Xian. Gao Xian seemed much, much stronger than he was two years ago...

This was not her judgment, but came from the subtle feedback given to her by the third-level spirit sword.

Gao Xian only saw Li Feihuang at this time, mainly because there were too many people present. Although Li Feihuang was dressed brightly, she was restrained and had little presence. It was not until he saw the faint sword intent sprouting from Li Feihuang that he became alert.

"I've actually become a little stronger in the past two years. Oh, I refined a powerful sword..."

Gao Xian is now very sensitive to high-level swords, mainly because the Zixiao Cloud Light Sword is too powerful and left an extremely deep impression on him.

Gao Xian's spiritual awareness is now comparable to that of an early Golden Elixir cultivator, and his practice of the Five Elements Qi-combining Method has given him a keen sense of the positive and negative five elements' magical powers.

The two sides exchanged their spiritual consciousness instantly, and Gao Xian saw Li Feihuang clearly.

This sword was good, he could faintly sense the spirituality in the sword, it was a third-level spiritual sword. But it was no match for the Purple Cloud Light Sword.

Li Feihuang's fire magic power is pure, but his sword intent is mediocre, even scattered. He relies entirely on his natural fire phoenix spirit to establish resonance with the sword, which makes it quite difficult for him to control it.

In his estimation, Li Feihuang could only exert one or two points of the power of this sword. Such a powerful sword in Li Feihuang's hands was a great investment.

Gao Xian realized that Li Feihuang was not a threat and lost interest in her. This woman was beautiful, but she was a self-righteous woman.

Compared to the cold and gloomy Yin Lihua, this woman is even more disgusting. Yin Lihua is bad, but she is not so troublesome.

Yun Qiu Shui had a wide circle of friends, and many people present stood up and greeted him, making the scene quite lively for a while.

Yun Qiushui was polite for a while, and finally bowed to Master Lu Jingxu who was sitting on the main seat: "Master, we are late, please don't blame us."

"Qiu Shui, please take a seat."

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

Lu Jingxu has a gentle personality and has always admired Yun Qiu Shui, so he would not care about such a small matter.

"My best friend Gao Xian is here to attend the Dharma Assembly. Please take care of him."

Naturally, Lu Jingxu had seen Gao Xian a long time ago, and he had also heard of Gao Xian's name. The news that Yun Qiu Shui was against Shui Yuying for Gao Xian had already spread among the sect's upper echelons.

Everyone was a little curious about the relationship between Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian. Even though the Yun family and the Shui family were at odds, Yun Qiushui's open and tough confrontation with Shui Yuying was equivalent to a public falling out, which was still very rare.

Even if Gao Xian is used as a title, at least Gao Xian must have this value.

Lu Jingxu naturally favored the Yun family, and his eyes lit up when he saw Gao Xian in person.

Ordinary cultivators could only see that Gao Xian was handsome and tall with an extraordinary bearing. However, Lu Jingxu, a Jindan Zhenren, could see that Gao Xian's body, magic power, and spiritual consciousness were harmoniously integrated. His cultivation was not high but extremely pure.

Among the many foundation-building cultivators present, only Yun Qiu Shui had pure sword intent and could surpass Gao Xian.

Other geniuses like Zhang Zhengxin, Lu Shidao, and Li Feihuang, who were born with spiritual bodies, were obviously inferior to Gao Xian.

It’s not that their cultivation is poor, but they lack Gao Xian’s subtle control over magic power, so they are a bit rough and inferior in comparison.

It's just that these people are born with spiritual bodies, which is too advantageous at the foundation-building level. Although Gao Xian's cultivation is pure, he may not be able to beat Zhang Zhengxin and others.

Judging from Yun Qiu Shui's attitude, he seems to be fully supporting Gao Xian in this Dharma Assembly.

The leader of the Dharma Assembly went straight to the Divine Heaven Palace. This was too important for the cultivators. No one in the sect would give in.

It so happened that this time around, there were four geniuses with natural spiritual bodies, as well as Li Qingfeng who specialized in flying swords, and Luo Xiujun who specialized in five elements magic, all of whom were extraordinary.

If it were the last three Dharma Assemblies, any one of these people would surely have won the championship.

Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough to be gathered in this Dharma Assembly. Although Gao Xian was outstanding, it was too early to say that he would win the championship.

Lu Jingxu evaluated each of the talented people in his mind, so he naturally would not show any preference on the surface.

He smiled politely at Gao Xian: "This young man is so handsome, he doesn't need anyone to take care of him."

Gao Xian bowed and showed humility. Lu Jingxu praised him in front of so many heroes and geniuses. It couldn't be because he was good-looking. It was mostly because of Yun Qiu Shui. There was no need to take such polite words seriously.

Many people around were also staring at Gao Xian, and they were secretly communicating with each other using their spiritual sense.

"This man is Gao Xian! The Yun family wants to make him the leader? Just because he looks good?"

"Yun Qiushui openly brought Gao Xian here. Is this to show us that he fully supports Gao Xian? Are these two guys sleeping together?"

"It doesn't matter how good-looking he is, or how supportive Yun Qiu Shui is, because he is the champion of the Dharma Assembly! Even if Yun Qingxuan comes, we won't let him in!"

"Damn it, I get angry when I see this guy, what kind of person is he..."

The Yun family has many friends and many enemies. Even the Yun family’s friends will not give in easily at the Qingyun Dharma Assembly.

The handsome Luo Xiujun stood up and said loudly: "This Taoist friend has come at the right time. We were discussing "The Dream of the Yellow Millet". Taoist friend Lu said that this book is concise and profound, and contains profound and wonderful principles. Taoist friend Zhang said that this book is obscene and low-brow, not worth mentioning.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Gao thinks?"

Gao Xian looked at Luo Xiujun and saw that this man had a handsome face. He was wearing a dark yellow round-necked robe and holding a crystal jade ruler in his hand. He looked elegant and graceful.

This guy looks good, but he has bad intentions. He deliberately threw the conflict between Zhang and Lu to him, so no matter what he said, he would definitely offend one of them.

If you don't have any insights or try to smooth things over in front of so many talented people, you will be looked down upon by everyone.

Everyone present was smart and naturally understood what Luo Xiujun meant. Everyone looked at Gao Xian, wanting to see how he would respond!

Yun Qiushui smiled without saying anything. If this group of people wanted to talk about scriptures, Gao Xian might not be as good as them. But they chose to talk about "The Dream of the Yellow Millet". This was actively helping Gao Xian to become famous! (End of this chapter)
