Chapter 260: Across the Past and Present
It’s done.
Li Feihuang silently hugged Gao Xian's neck, with spring in his bright eyes.
After her first taste, she found that dual cultivation was quite comfortable.
Especially Gao Xian, who was able to receive the pure yang and true yin of her Red Phoenix spirit, allowing her to completely release her original power, complete a cycle through Gao Xian, and guide it back again.
After one cycle, the fire nature of her pure yang energy was completely tamed, and her cultivation, which was originally stuck at a bottleneck, was suddenly broken through.
In the process of dual cultivation, she naturally ignited the second original spiritual light and advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
The most important thing is that in this process she completely channeled the power of the Fire Phoenix spirit and transformed it into the origin that she could control, laying a solid foundation for her future cultivation.
She was very satisfied with Gao Xian as her dual cultivation partner, and even liked him more.
However, Li Feihuang didn't want to say what she loved in her heart. She made it very clear before they started practicing dual cultivation that she just wanted Gao Xian's help and was not looking for a Taoist partner.
But she hoped that Gao Xian would ask her for help, and she could agree to it reluctantly.
Gao Xian had no such intention at all. He thought it was an easy job, but in fact he was almost burned to death.
Fortunately, the Vajra has tempered his body to be strong, and Sister Lan has mastered the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon Technique, which is how they were able to support Li Feihuang's pure yang and true yin.
If Li Feihuang is the sword embryo that is tempered at high temperature, he is the water that quickly cools the quenching. By helping Li Feihuang cool down, he tempers her sword embryo and improves its quality.
Of course, he can actually benefit from this process and is not just a tool.
Li Feihuang's pure yang and true yin flowed through his body, and the pure yang and true yin energy also helped him to refine the impurities in his body.
However, this process was more violent and wild than he had expected. Any other foundation-building cultivator would definitely not be able to withstand it and would be directly burned to ashes by Li Feihuang's Pure Yang Fire.
After thousands of cycles like this, the pure yang and true yin energy was once again guided back to Li Feihuang. Gao Xian felt that he was tempered from the inside out thousands of times. The process was actually somewhat painful, but also somewhat refreshing...
Gao Xian originally thought that he was taking advantage, but after all this trouble, he felt that Li Feihuang's help was not just a polite remark! Fortunately, after Li Feihuang digested the pure yang and true yin energy, she kept her promise and passed the Qingfeng Sword Scripture directly to him through the mysterious state of dual cultivation resonance.
Many people in Qingfeng Sect have practiced the Qingfeng Sword Scripture, but the true essence of the sword scripture can only be practiced by the direct descendants of the Li family.
This time, Li Feihuang did not keep anything to himself and taught him all the essence of the "Qingfeng Sword Sutra".
Gao Xian was very pleased with this. With the complete inheritance of the "Qingfeng Sword Classic", he could improve his swordsmanship to a higher level.
He felt that it was natural for him to inherit the essence of the Qingfeng Sword Scripture. After all, he had really put in a lot of effort and even risked half his life! It was so exhausting that Gao Xian was in no mood to play sweet and warm games with Li Feihuang.
Li Feihuang felt a little distressed when she saw Gao Xian's tired look. Gao Xian also risked his life for her. Although Gao Xian didn't say anything, his actions had already shown everything...
With Yun Qingxuan standing in the way, she couldn't stay with Gao Xian. Gao Xian could only suffer.
She felt very sorry for Gao Xian, but pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "Thank you for your help, you can take a rest. I'll leave first."
"Take care, fellow Daoist."
Gao Xian originally wanted to see him off, but his legs and waist were sore, so he could only say something polite.
After Li Feihuang left, Gao Xian swallowed a Dingyuan Pill.
The third-level, third-turn Dingyuan Pill distributed by Qingyun Sect is an excellent elixir for restoring energy and nourishing the body.
Gao Xian swallowed another Qingxu Pill to nourish his spirit, and practiced the Great Five Elements Kung Fu for thirty-six times, before he regained some of his energy.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was really drained. Fortunately, this is temporary. After a few days, he will slowly recover and his cultivation will definitely reach a higher level.
It was not until the 28th that Gao Xian finally recovered.
He has been recuperating during this period and has no energy to make pills, so he has to take pills every day to nourish his body.
The Chinese New Year is approaching. Last year, he was practicing in the Sutra Hall on New Year's Eve, so he didn't pay New Year's greetings.
During this year's Chinese New Year, everyone will visit each other to pay New Year's greetings and keep in touch with each other.
For example, Yun Changfeng was very caring towards him, and Lu Jingxu was also very nice to him.
Yun Qiushui is in seclusion, so don't worry about it. I also need to go and see Yun Qingxuan.
Gao Xian forced himself to refine a furnace of immortality pills despite his weak body. Perhaps after being tempered by Li Feihuang, his body became weaker but his foundation was strengthened, and he actually refined a sixth-level immortality pill.
Although the immortality pill is only of the second level, the sixth level immortality pill is not very common. Even if it is given to a Jindan Zhenren, it is enough to show off.
Yun Changfeng gave ten and Lu Jingxu gave six, mainly to express their feelings.
After receiving the elixir of immortality, Yun Changfeng praised Gao Xian highly.
The Six-turn Immortality Pill is actually nothing. The key is Gao Xian’s attitude, and he took the initiative to express his closeness to the Yun family.
In addition, Gao Xian is considerate and polite, and his gifts are sincere and generous.
In terms of being a human being, she is much better than his two children.
Yun Changfeng didn’t think highly of Gao Xian’s future before because he was a little too old. Even if he formed a golden elixir, it would only be of the lower third grade.
The upper limit of the power of the lower third-grade golden elixir is too low. It is difficult to play an important role.
However, Gao Xian was able to defeat a Jindan demon cultivator while still building his foundation, and the powerful combat capability he displayed still impressed him.
Even if he becomes a lower third grade golden elixir in the future, Gao Xian will still be very useful.
It was precisely because of this optimism that Yun Changfeng suppressed the opposition and passed the "Qingyun Sword Classic" to Gao Xian.
This kind of dominance actually comes at a price. Now it seems that Gao Xian is so sensible, everything is worth it.
Gao Xian could feel that Yun Changfeng's attitude towards him had become noticeably closer, and he was in a good mood as well.
Yun Changfeng is the leader of the Yun family. Since he has joined the Yun family, he must have a good relationship with the boss...
Lu Jingxu is very different. Although he is his leader, he gets along very well with him, more like a friend.
Gao Xian was less polite to Lu Jingxu, and Lu Jingxu was very happy to see Gao Xian.
In September, he was attacked by the invisible demon Yin Jiushi, causing severe loss of essence and blood.
Gao Xian gave him the Six-turn Immortality Pill, which was quite beneficial to him. This gift also showed that Gao Xian was very thoughtful about it.
Gao Xian also apologized to Lu Jingxu. He had been practicing in the Sutra Repository Hall and had not been to the Lecture Hall to teach in the past few months.
Fortunately, Yun Qingxuan was reliable and had already explained the matter to Lu Jingxu and made proper arrangements.
After leaving Lu Jingxu's house, Gao Xian went to Yujing Palace.
Yun Qingxuan originally didn't want to see guests, but when he heard that Gao Xian was coming, he still asked the housekeeper Li Ming to take him into the back garden.
It’s still the same pavilion, still the same lake.
The winter in Qingyun Sect was extremely cold, with snow covering the mountains, so the lake should have frozen. I don't know if the lake water was special, or if Yun Qingxuan had used some method, but the lake water was still as clear as a mirror.
Yun Qingxuan, who was sitting quietly in the pavilion, was still dressed in blue, with a calm expression and cold eyes.
For some reason, Gao Xian has always liked Yun Qingxuan's cold and aloof temperament. He never thought that Yun Qingxuan was arrogant, but just felt that she was calm and peaceful, and being around her could make people feel peaceful.
Such a woman is not suitable to be a wife or lover, but is very suitable to be a confidante or friend.
Yun Qingxuan said softly: "I sent the spiritual object for appraisal, but there is no news yet."
"No rush."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for your care this year, Senior Brother. It's New Year's Day, so I'll give you a small gift to show my appreciation."
"You are writing another book?" Yun Qingxuan's crystal clear eyes turned, revealing an interested look.
"Uh, no, I drew a picture."
Gao Xian took out the scroll and handed it to Yun Qingxuan, "That day when I came out of the Sutra Hall, I saw heavy snow all over the sky, thousands of mountains were covered with white snow, and I painted this picture..."
Yun Qingxuan was a little surprised. She thought Gao Xian's article was wonderful, his ideas were ingenious and bizarre, and he was very impressive.
As for paintings, they are too direct. No matter how detailed the painting is, it is still third-rate.
She slowly unfolded the scroll with her bare hands, and saw an ink painting.
The painting depicts thousands of mountains covered with snow, presenting a magnificent scene.
A great river runs through thousands of mountains, but the water is calm, deep, cold and still. On the river there is a solitary boat, and an old man wearing a straw raincoat and hat is fishing on the boat.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The cold river is vast, the lone boat is tiny, and the old man in a straw raincoat and hat fishing can only see a vague figure.
This ink painting is a departure from Gao Xian's usual realistic painting techniques. Instead, it is extremely freehand and elegant, using only ink to depict the scene of thousands of snow-covered mountains and a cold river flowing alone. It shows the stillness of the mountains and the movement of the river, and between the stillness and movement, there is an old man fishing alone, which is exquisite.
"No birds fly in the thousands of mountains, no people are seen on the thousands of paths, only an old man in a straw raincoat and straw hat is fishing in the cold river in a boat."
The poem at the end of the volume expresses the whole mood in straightforward language. Behind this straightforwardness, there is a loneliness and coldness that runs through ancient and modern times.
Yun Qingxuan only felt that he was the old man in a straw raincoat and hat fishing alone in the cold river, feeling the boundless loneliness and coldness in the vast world.
She looked at the scroll in silence for a long time before she said, "Thank you, Junior Brother. I like this painting very much."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Senior Brother. This painting was created by me out of the blue. I'm afraid it will be difficult to create a work of this quality in the future..."
Yun Qingxuan sighed softly, "This painting has a sense of history that spans the past and present. It can only be done by a man of great talent. Junior brother is indeed a man of great talent..."
Gao Xian was very surprised that Yun Qingxuan had also learned to praise people, and he felt a little embarrassed. It was a pity that Yun Qingxuan was unable to elaborate on the details.
After returning to Xuandu Peak from Yujing Palace, Gao Xian and Daniu prepared some wine and food and spent a somewhat cold New Year's Eve.
At this time, Gao Xian couldn't help but think of Qinnan, Yuling, and Yingying.
He asked Yun Qingxuan about Yingying's situation, but Yun Qingxuan couldn't explain it clearly.
Yun Zai Tian, the Yuanying Zhenjun, acted in a profound and unfathomable way, and no one dared to ask any more questions.
Gao Xian drank a few glasses of wine and felt a little disappointed. He had a higher level of cultivation, a higher status, and more money, but why did he seem to be less happy than before? Gao Xian gave Daniu ten Dingyuan Pills and ten Qingxu Pills.
The medicinal power of one pill of this third-level pill is enough for a bull to digest for a month.
Compared to any magic weapon or spirit stone, high-level elixir is more economical for big shots.
This place is rich in spiritual energy, and with the addition of various spiritual objects and elixirs, Daniu has reached the seventh level of Qi training in the past two years.
At this rate, it is possible to build a foundation before the age of thirty.
Of course, the best ones take the path of physical training. As long as there are enough resources to support and you are willing to work hard, you can make rapid progress in the early stages.
After Daniu left, Gao Xian couldn't help but drink two more cups. Just as he was lamenting his loneliness, he suddenly had a feeling.
After a while, the door was pushed open and Li Feihuang, dressed in a bright red robe, came in.
Li Feihuang looked at Gao Xian with some confusion, and she said seriously: "Daoyou, are you free? I would like to ask you for a favor..."
When Gao Xian saw the spring light in Li Feihuang's bright eyes, he felt a little pain in his waist.
The other party came at the perfect time. He was feeling lonely and unbearable and could not resist at all.
He could only sigh in his heart and just work hard!
Last time, they were practicing, and it was very hard for both of them. Although this time was also practicing, it was not as intense as the first time, and both of them felt the joy of dual cultivation.
The next morning, Gao Xian got out of bed with great determination. He had to attend the sect's festival today, and as a true disciple of Shenxiao, he had to be there.
The New Year's celebration of Qingyun Sect is much grander than that of Lianyun Sect.
All the Jindan Zhenren, Shenxiao Zhenchuan, ordinary Zhenchuan, Jindan Zhenren's direct disciples, including important deacons of various departments, etc., as many as thousands of people gathered in Zixiao Palace to worship Xuanming Ming Zun together.
Yun Zai Tian Zhenjun did not show up, and the entire ceremony was presided over by Yun Changfeng.
This point actually reflects Yun Changfeng's status. Although he is only the head of the Qian Department, everyone tacitly agrees that he is the first person under the clan leader.
Gao Xian was quite happy about this. As a member of the Yun family, the more powerful the Yun family was, the better.
After the tedious ceremony, it was already noon. All participants received a gift. Of course, the gift size was based on their status.
As a true disciple of Shenxiao, Gao Xian received a big gift package.
Cloud satin, red jade dates, white lotus wine, narcissus tea, etc., all kinds of items for food, clothing, housing and transportation are available, all of which are spiritual objects with grades. Finally, there are ten high-grade spiritual stones.
All the gifts were put into a small storage bag. Gao Xian didn’t know what was in other people’s gift packs, but he was still very satisfied with his own gift pack.
As expected of a big sect, the gift package is so generous! After returning home, Li Feihuang did not leave. She was a little shy when she saw Gao Xian coming back, and explained in a low voice: "My foundation is not stable, and I need fellow Taoists to help me consolidate it..."
Li Feihuang was lying under a brocade quilt, with her long hair disheveled and her shoulders exposed. Her shy look was full of feminine charm.
"Okay." Gao Xian wanted to help people to the end, so he immediately went to the bed to help Li Feihuang practice.
The two of them stayed in love until the fifteenth day, communicating mainly through dual cultivation. After dual cultivation, they rested and rarely spoke.
On the fifteenth day, Li Feihuang got dressed and got out of bed. Gao Xian wanted to say something, but Li Feihuang gently pressed his lips and said, "I understand, you don't have to say it."
She turned around and said with some regret: "I am devoted to Taoism and don't want to find a Taoist partner. This is a good thing for both you and me..."
Gao Xian didn't know what Li Feihuang was thinking. He had never thought of becoming a Taoist partner with Li Feihuang. He just wanted to make it clear to Li Feihuang. Since the other party thought so too, it would save a lot of trouble.
After all, we had just been intimate and passionate, so it would be a bit hurtful to say it too directly.
After Li Feihuang left, Gao Xian sat cross-legged and practiced the Great Five Elements Kung Fu. Sister Lan appeared from deep between his eyebrows and at the same time, she activated the Five Elements Qigong to practice together with him.
After this period of dual cultivation, Gao Xian's lost vitality was completely replenished, and the benefits of pure yang and true yin gradually emerged.
After his magic power circulated for three hundred and sixty cycles, his heart shook and a ball of his innate spiritual light shone and lit up.
The two groups of life-giving spiritual light at the center of the eyebrows and the heart reflected each other, forming an intimate and mysterious connection. Driven by the two groups of life-giving spiritual light, the magic power in Gao Xian's body surged like a tide, circulating back and forth endlessly.
Gao Xian was delighted. He had finally advanced to the fourth level of foundation building and reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Taizhen Idol God can add points to improve the Five Elements Qigong, thereby improving the Great Five Elements Gong. However, this is not a direct improvement in cultivation, but an improvement in the level of secret techniques, allowing him to practice faster and operate his magic power more efficiently and precisely.
This dual cultivation saved him at least five or six years of hard practice.
Gao Xian couldn't help but think of Li Feihuang. This woman's body was really tempting... What a pity...
