Chapter 266 Good Neighbor

Gao Xian said that sending the medicine was just a joke, and Deer Horn Powder is useless against Jindan Zhenren.

What he said about treating us was true.

After fighting with Li Ye and easily getting the Qingfeng Sword, he was in a particularly good mood.

Anyway, there are three months, so there is no rush to comprehend the Qingfeng Sword.

Since the Chinese New Year, he has been busy practicing and working with Li Feihuang, and has not had any free time at all.

I happened to be free today, so I made an appointment with Lu Jingxu to go to Changle Tower to relax, ask him some questions, and go back to my home in Qingyun City.

Lu Jingxu was not in good health, and if someone else had invited him, he would have definitely declined. But Gao Xian was inviting him, so he had to give him face.

After returning to the Sutra Discussion Institute, Lu Jingxu handed over some official business, and then he and Gao Xian drove the light of escape to Qingyun City.

Qingyun City does not allow flying, that is for ordinary cultivators. Sect Law Enforcement Court, Patrol Court, Discipline Court and other cultivators responsible for maintaining order can fly in Qingyun City.

The heads of the various academies of the True Transmission and the Divine Xiao True Transmission also have this privilege.

Yun Qiu Shui always used to go to see Gao Xian in a carriage, mainly because Gao Xian was not qualified to fly.

Gao Xian is different now, so he can naturally fly directly into Qingyun City with Lu Jingxu.

The Divine Sky Tokens on the two of them had a mysterious resonance with the city-protecting magic circle, allowing the two of them to enter and exit the magic circle freely without being restricted by any restrictions.

The sun had just set, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the breeze was slightly cool. It looked like it was going to rain.

Each floor of Changle Tower is brightly lit, making it extremely eye-catching in the gloomy Qingyun City.

Gao Xian and Lu Jingxu descended from the sky, and the receptionist guarding the gate hurried to greet them.

The receptionist in this kind of big restaurant is not an ordinary waiter, but a senior management, probably equivalent to the position of front desk manager.

The middle-aged receptionist recognized Lu Jingxu at a glance. He stepped forward respectfully and greeted him.

Lu Jingxu asked casually, "Is there any room on the seventh floor?"

The middle-aged receptionist smiled apologetically: "I have been taken care of by Shui Zhenren during this period."

"Then just arrange a room. It should be quiet."

As Lu Jingxu spoke, he looked at Gao Xian. After all, it was Gao Xian who was treating them, so he wondered what his requests were.

Gao Xian had been to Changle Tower twice, but he was not very familiar with it. But if he wanted to invite Lu Jingxu, he had to find a place of high quality.

He smiled slightly: "I'm not familiar with this place, I'll listen to you, senior brother."

The middle-aged receptionist did not dare to look up, but only glanced at Gao Xian with his peripheral vision. What was the origin of calling Lu Jingxu "senior brother"? The true teachings of Shenxiao?

He had never met Gao Xian, but just by looking at Gao Xian's young and handsome appearance, he roughly guessed Gao Xian's identity.

Lu Jingxu also smiled: "Let's not use those fancy tricks, just eat something casually."

When we got to the private room on the sixth floor, the window faced the central patio outside, from which we could see singing and dancing performances on the high platform in the patio.

After the food and drinks were served, Gao Xian and Lu Jingxu drank a few glasses of wine, and both of them felt obviously more relaxed.

When practicing Taoism to achieve longevity, one is not only pursuing the length of life, but also the quality of life.

If you suffer in a cave for a thousand years, what's the difference between you and a turtle? What's the value of living for a thousand years?

Cultivators who have reached the foundation-building stage are already qualified to enjoy the pleasures of life, and this is especially true for Jindan Zhenren.

Lu Jingxu is a good man, but that doesn't stop him from frequently visiting Changle Tower.

After a few drinks, Lu Jingxu smiled and said, "I've had my fill, Junior Brother, just say whatever you want to say."

He knew that Gao Xian was very diligent and focused in his cultivation. For more than a year, he had never heard of Gao Xian coming to Qingyun City for fun.

This is also normal. Gao Xian is in a critical stage of cultivation. If he plays all day, it would be equivalent to giving up the great path.

Gao Xian invited him to dinner, so he must have something to talk about.

"I can't hide it from my senior brother, hehe..."

Gao Xian showed his white and neat teeth, and smiled brightly, "Brother, what channels can I use to sell my books? Can you sell my books to all parts of Wanfeng County?"

Lu Jingxu was a little surprised. He could understand that Gao Xian wrote novels and drew erotic paintings for fun.

Practitioners practice hard every day and always need to find ways to relax.

Some practitioners like to beg like beggars, while others like to pretend to be dogs and run around barking. It can be said that practitioners have all kinds of strange hobbies.

In comparison, Gao Xian's pornographic and violent novels are nothing.

But Gao Xian was still thinking about selling the novel elsewhere, which was a bit difficult for him to understand.

Novels are just ordinary text and images, which can be directly copied using magic, and there is no way to restrict them.

Just like the various bookstores that make money by selling Gao Xian’s novels, they just use the money directly and there is no way they can give him a share of the profits.

No matter how much he sells, it won't benefit Gao Xian. Why does Gao Xian seem to be so concerned about this matter?

Lu Jingxu thought for a moment and said, "As long as there is profit, someone will naturally take your book to sell it. There is no need to deliberately find someone to sell it."

"I know."

Gao Xian said: "All the sects are relatively closed. Outside of Qingyun Dao, I'm afraid no one would bother with these books."

The profit from selling novels is too low, and even big merchants with businesses across the board would not look down upon such a small amount of money.

The cultivators who are interested in this little money do not have the ability to leave Qingyun Dao.

Even if a few novels are circulated, it is difficult to build a large scale.

Gao Xian worked in sales in his previous life, and he wasn’t very good at it, but he was well aware of the importance of channels and platforms.

No matter how good a product is, it needs a good platform to display it and needs various channels to radiate it.

It is very happy to earn humanity's spiritual light by lying down. With the upgrade of various secret methods, more and more humanity's spiritual light is needed.

Gao Xian hopes to promote several novels. Not to mention Jiuzhou, even Mingzhou is so big that there are hundreds of millions of practitioners. It would be so happy if everyone could contribute a little bit of humanity.

He had had such a dream in his previous life. If everyone in the country gave him one cent, he would immediately get rid of poverty and become rich.

Of course, he has a bigger vision, and his idea is to make money first.

Then they would pay for the people of the country to queue up, and whoever got the number would receive one cent from the people of the country. It was just one cent, and who could not afford it?

After one round, everyone became multi-millionaires and entered a truly well-off society... Unfortunately, this grand ideal did not take the first step and died halfway.

Lu Jingxu didn't know Gao Xian's grand ideal. He pondered for a moment and said, "Wanbaolou is the most powerful in Mingzhou. It is said that it has branches in all 36 counties. I am quite familiar with Jin Dabao, the owner of Wanbaolou in Qingyun City. I will introduce him to you..."

Gao Xian wanted to sell his novels to all over Wanfeng County, but Yunshuilou certainly didn't have the ability to do so. He could only find a big business like Wanbaolou, which was known to have business all over Mingzhou.

Lu Jingxu was actually not sure about this. Wanbaolou only sold high-level magical weapons and spiritual tools, and how much money could he make from a novel?

But since Gao Xian has already asked, I have to help and ask.

Gao Xian was overjoyed, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

If we can really open up the channels of Wanbaolou and sell novels to all counties and regions in Mingzhou, we can really upgrade ourselves without doing anything.

Lu Jingxu couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, I don't quite understand why you value these novels so much?"

Gao Xian was really stumped by the question. He couldn't say that he did it to gain the spiritual light of humanity. He thought for a moment and said, "To promote literature, to meet the spiritual needs of practitioners of all levels..."

The smile on Lu Jingxu's face gradually froze. It would be fine if this kid didn't want to talk, but he kept talking more and more outrageous.

He interrupted Gao Xian and said, "Qingyun City may be hiding a Jindan demon cultivator. You should be careful when you go in and out. It's best not to stay overnight in Qingyun City."

"They're not targeting me specifically, are they?" Gao Xian felt that the Jindan Demon Cultivator was not so idle as to target him specifically.

Yin Jiushi stared at Li Feihuang because he was attracted by her red phoenix spirit body. This kind of pure yang and true yin energy is very beneficial to the magic cultivators who have been contaminated by the devil's energy.

Demonic cultivators don't have any feelings, and it's unlikely that anyone would avenge Yin Jiushi.

Lu Jingxu shook his head: "You are the most famous now. If the demon cultivator kills you, it will greatly damage the reputation of the sect. Don't underestimate your importance."

Gao Xian nodded. Lu Jingxu always meant well and it would be better to be careful.

He was about to say something when he suddenly felt something and looked out the window.

It was raining outside. The spring rain was dense and soft, and the sound of the rain was soothing and gentle. The whole Qingyun City became quiet and secluded in the rainy night.

Balls of blazing flames tore through the darkness, and huge roars broke the tranquility of the rainy night.

Gao Xian looked at the direction of the flames, which was exactly the location of the southern area of ​​Qingyun City.

Lu Jingxu also showed a look of surprise. The distance was very far, far beyond the range of his spiritual sense, and he could only judge the situation by sight.

He judged: "It should be the foundation-building cultivator who took action..."

"Should we go and take a look?" Gao Xian was a little curious and eager to try.

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

I have heard for a long time that the South District is in chaos and there are many criminals hiding there. I didn't expect that the other party is so arrogant and dares to make such a big noise.

What surprised Gao Xian was that Lu Jingxu actually shook his head. "Don't meddle in other people's business. This is the business of the Patrol Court and the Guard Court. We shouldn't interfere."

Lu Jingxu reminded Gao Xian again: "We just arrived and something happened suddenly. It's a bit too coincidental. We must be prepared."

Gao Xian felt that Lu Jingxu was worrying too much. Others just wanted to deal with him, and it was a bit stupid to use this method.

But he didn't say anything. It was right to mind other people's business.

The chief of the Circuit Court is Shui Yuying, this woman stays in Qingyun City all year round, and she should be in charge of anything that happens. If they intervene rashly, it will be easy to get into trouble.

The dense spring rain quickly covered the intense magical flames, and the southern area fell into darkness and no more movement.

The light and flames just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Gao Xian and Lu Jingxu looked at it for a while and then paid no more attention to it.

It was almost time, and Gao Xian was no longer in the mood to continue drinking.

After paying the bill, Lu Jingxu returned to the sect, while Gao Xian went back to his home in Anshanfang alone.

The gate of Anshanfang is closed during the watch, and it is only opened in special circumstances.

Gao Xian has the Divine Sky Order, so he can just fly back directly without going through the main gate.

When flying past the south gate of Anshanfang, Gao Xian saw several people parked in front of the gate.

One of them was wearing a purple long skirt, had a pretty face and a graceful figure. She was his beautiful neighbor Wei Shuangshuang.

In her arms was a burly man, it was Wei Cheng.

With the help of the flower-detecting magic mirror, Gao Xian could clearly see that Wei Cheng's eyes were closed, his face was dark purple, and there was a large amount of blood on his chest. It seemed that the situation was not good.

Wei Shuangshuang's pale face was filled with sadness and uneasiness, her hair was wet with the drizzle, and the rain kept rolling down her cheeks, but her attention was all on Wei Cheng in her arms.

Tong Yan, a thin man, stood aside. There was blood on his body and he looked rather disheveled.

Gao Xian usually doesn't mind other people's business. After all, they are neighbors he has met twice, and he has a good impression of the beautiful and enthusiastic Wei Shuangshuang. He thought about it and then floated down.

When Wei Shuangshuang and Tong Yan saw someone coming down from the sky, their expressions tensed up and they each held their magic weapons tightly. When they saw that the person coming was Gao Xian, Tong Yan showed a look of alertness, but Wei Shuangshuang's eyes lit up.

Gao Xian asked, "Fellow Daoist Wei, what is this?"

Wei Shuangshuang said nervously and expectantly, "Fellow Daoist Gao, my husband was ambushed by a demon cultivator in the South District and stabbed in the chest by the Five Poison Sword. Unfortunately, we can't get into Anshanfang..."

The sword wound was nothing. The key was that the five kinds of poisons on the sword mixed with sword energy was extremely powerful. Wei Cheng, who was in the late stage of body refining and foundation building, was hit by the sword and could not withstand the poison and fainted.

She gave Wei Cheng a detoxifying pill, but it didn't seem to work very well. Only by seeking medical treatment and detoxification could Wei Cheng have a chance to survive.

At this time, the gate of Anshanfang was closed and the protective array was fully activated. Although Wei Shuangshuang and his companions were foundation-building cultivators, they did not dare to force their way in.

They cannot break the magic circle, and forcing their way into it is tantamount to provoking Qingyun Sect. The Law Enforcement Court and the Protection Court will never let them go.

There was no other way, they could only guard the gate, hoping that Wei Cheng could hold on until dawn.

Wei Shuangshuang was eloquent and made things very clear in just a few words.

"I see."

Gao Xian looked at Wei Cheng. There was a hole in his chest and the blood flowing out was black. Fortunately, his heart was not injured.

He doesn't know the Five Poison Swords, but he has the Rejuvenation Technique, which can stimulate life's vitality, restore blood, and remove poison and ward off evil spirits.

Even though rejuvenation is just a minor spell, in such a vast world, only a few people can practice it to the master's level.

The Five Poison Swords were not simply poisonous, but were also mixed with magical power to exert their power and pose a threat to the foundation-building cultivators. Gao Xian judged that it was only at the second level, and even if the rejuvenation technique could not completely detoxify it, it was enough to alleviate the situation.

As for what Wei Shuangshuang said about them being ambushed by the demon cultivators, I'm afraid not all of it was true. They went to the chaotic South District in the middle of the night. Could it be that they were going for a walk? Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, I can give it a try."

Wei Shuangshuang knew that Gao Xian was very powerful and was a true disciple of Shenxiao, so he must have some detoxifying pills or magical tools on him.

She said so much just to win Gao Xian's sympathy and hope that he could help her. She nodded hurriedly: "Please lend a hand, fellow Taoist."

Just these words will do. Gao Xian flicked his finger, and a beam of green light fell on Wei Cheng's chest. As the green light continued to penetrate, black air emanated from the wound...

In less than ten breaths, Wei Cheng suddenly coughed and opened his eyes abruptly. He spat out a large amount of black blood with a "wow" sound. He looked very weak and listless, but his eyes were clear.

"Husband, husband, how are you?"

"I can still hold on." Wei Cheng said in a low voice, and he turned to look at Gao Xian in front of him with some surprise.

Wei Shuangshuang saw that Wei Cheng was conscious and even his breathing had stabilized. She couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thanks to Brother Gao for casting a spell to help."

She turned and hurriedly said to Gao Xian: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, thank you, fellow Taoist..."

As she spoke, the woman began to cry.

If Wei Cheng hadn’t met Gao Xian, he wouldn’t have survived the night.

Wei Cheng also struggled to stand up to express his gratitude, but Gao Xian gently waved his hand and said, "We are all neighbors. It's just a small favor. There's no need to do this."

He just saved the person out of convenience, there's nothing much to say.

Gao Xian used the rejuvenation technique on Wei Cheng again, and when he saw that his condition had completely stabilized, he controlled the Yin-Yang Wheel to cross the wall and enter Anshanfang. As he entered, layers of magic arrays as thick as a wall flashed with spiritual light, but they did not cause any obstruction to him.

Wei Shuangshuang, Wei Cheng, and Tong Yan all saw this scene, and all three of them showed envy in their eyes. With the true teachings of Shenxiao, he could easily walk sideways in Qingyun City.

If they had this identity, they wouldn't have to take the risk of going to the South District.

Watching Gao Xian disappear, Tong Yan sighed, "I didn't expect that he is also proficient in the magic of removing poison and healing injuries. I think he is better than the doctors in Wan'an Hall."

Wei Shuangshuang also nodded: "It is indeed amazing. I don't know what kind of wood magic he used, but he actually forcibly eliminated the power of the five poisons. It is said that he is an expert in both magic and swordsmanship. It turns out that his healing magic is also so amazing! I don't know how people practice..."

She said to Wei Cheng with a look of relief: "Luckily I met Brother Gao, otherwise you would be dead!"

Wei Cheng was silent for a moment and then said, "This is a life-saving favor. Tomorrow we will go to visit Daoist Gao to express our gratitude in person and give Daoist Gao the piece of Earth Fire Gold Essence..."

Wei Shuangshuang was a little reluctant, but she nodded vigorously, "Earth, Fire, Gold Essence is precious, but it cannot be compared with your life. It's my duty."

Wei Cheng looked at Tong Yan and said, "Brother Tong, you have a share of the Earth Fire Gold Essence. I will make up for the difference."

Tong Yan hesitated and shook his head: "As long as I can get in touch with this person, the Earth, Fire and Gold Essence is nothing..."

He was cunning and sly, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to establish a relationship with Gao Xian. With this give and take, their relationship naturally became close.

With Gao Xian's support, they will have a chance to get revenge for the loss they suffered today!
