Chapter 275: Grand Gift

In the huge Liuxiangyuan Hall, there is only one table of guests today.

Yun Taihao sat in the main seat, Gao Xian sat at the top, Wang Chuan sat beside him, and Zhu Qinnan sat below Gao Xian.

On the high platform, a group of beautiful women in light clothing danced to the music. Their postures were graceful and elegant, each with her own style.

Liu Xiangyun, the owner of Liuxiangyuan, was pouring wine with two beauties. Liu Xiangyun was usually very eloquent and could joke with anyone, but she really didn't dare to say anything around Yun Taihao.

Yun Taihao never came to Liuxiangyuan. He had a gloomy and cold temperament, and no one in Lianyun City was not afraid of him.

Liu Xiangyun has been in Lianyun City for almost twenty years, and this is the first time she has met the sect leader Yun Taihao.

She actually wanted to get on good terms with Yun Taihao. If she could get on good terms with him, no one in Lianyun City would dare to mess around in Liuxiangyuan anymore.

Unfortunately, Yun Taihao was too powerful, and she really didn't dare to talk to him. Wang Chuan also warned her beforehand, asking her to serve him honestly and not to do anything fancy.

Liu Xiangyun was actually very surprised about the distinguished guest that Yun Taihao had solemnly invited, because she knew this person, Gao Xian, a very young foundation-building cultivator who used to come to Liuxiangyuan often to play.

She has been doing this for decades and has seen countless people coming and going. But there is only one person as handsome and elegant as Gao Xian.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Gao Xian sat there, the other foundation-building cultivators were made to look like pigs and dogs, without any semblance of human form.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the upper hand.

After Gao Xian left, the girls in the yard talked about it for a long time.

Later, when she heard that Gao Xian had become the leader of the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, Liu Xiangyun was shocked but happy for him. This was how such a handsome man should be.

When Liu Xiangyun heard the news that Gao Xian had killed the Jindan demon cultivator, she was extremely skeptical.

As a foundation-building cultivator, she knew how terrifying a Jindan Zhenren was. How could a foundation-building cultivator defeat a Jindan Zhenren? How was it possible?

Because this matter was too outrageous, it caused a sensation among the lower classes. However, when the foundation-building cultivators talked about it, they were full of doubts.

When I saw Gao Xian again today, he was already a distinguished guest of Lianyun Sect, and Sect Master Yun Taihao had to condescend to go to Liuxiangyuan to entertain him.

Liu Xiangyun saw that the two of them were still calling each other "senior brother" and "junior brother" in a friendly manner, and Yun Taihao was chatting and laughing with Gao Xian, and they were getting along very well. His cold face, which looked like a dead man, was smiling all night.

Seeing Yun Taihao's attitude, Liu Xiangyun began to believe that Gao Xian had defeated Jindan.

If not, how could Yun Taihao be so polite and enthusiastic.

In fact, the one who was more shocked was Wang Chuan. He had followed Yun Taihao for more than two hundred years, but this man had never even given him a smile.

To be precise, he had never seen Yun Taihao smile. He didn't expect Yun Taihao to smile, and his smile was quite friendly.

Wang Chuan savored the taste of it and felt very complicated.

Zhu Qinnan was very happy. The more Yun Taihao was like this, the more important Gao Xian was.

When she lived with Gao Xian, countless people secretly laughed at her for keeping a gigolo.

Today, Yun Taihao is going to toast Gao Xian, what else can those people say! Yun Taihao can naturally detect the subtle changes in everyone's emotions, and he doesn't care about it.

What do a bunch of little foundation-building cultivators know! On the contrary, Gao Xian made him more and more surprised as he got along with him. This man became a true disciple of Shenxiao and defeated Jindan. He is now in the limelight.

When he returned to Lianyun City and met his old friends, he was definitely full of energy. Gao Xian had a vigorous and positive spirit, but he was not arrogant.

The balance between these two is very well grasped.

In the face of him, the former sect leader, she neither showed off nor was too low-key. It was as if the two of them were really good friends. She was very relaxed and generous.

Yun Taihao sighed inwardly, this man was really secretive. If he had shown such magnanimity earlier, he would have definitely been nicer to Gao Xian.

What a pity, he actually misjudged and missed the opportunity. If he wanted to win over Gao Xian again, the cost would be much higher.

The banquet ended with both the guests and the hosts enjoying themselves.

After coming out of Liuxiangyuan, Yun Taihao held Gao Xian's hand enthusiastically, showing an extremely intimate attitude.

Wang Chuan and Zhu Qinnan both tactfully stepped aside to give the two space to talk.

"Junior brother came to Lianyun City, and since I am his senior brother, I must show some appreciation."

Yun Taihao took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Gao Xian's pocket. "Yin dragon scales, purple gold wood heart, red fire snake fangs, third-level black gold spirit crystals, and white obsidian essence are high-level spiritual objects that can be used to condense the Great Five Elements Sword Qi. They are just right for you, Junior Brother..."

Gao Xian was a little surprised. Yun Taihao was really thoughtful. Each of these five spiritual objects cost more than 100,000 spiritual stones, and their value would be even higher when put together.

Qingyun Sect actually had a few spiritual objects, but not so complete. He was busy practicing various secret techniques, and the Great Five Elements Sword Gang required slow and hard training, so he didn't have the energy to take care of it.

Yun Taihao's gift was so thoughtful that he couldn't refuse it. Besides, it would be too rude to refuse someone's gift.

Gao Xian did not pretend to refuse. He generously accepted the storage bag and said, "Brother, you are so thoughtful. This is exactly the spiritual item that I urgently need. I will not be polite."

Yun Taihao laughed. He preferred Gao Xian’s directness. He took the things directly and accepted the favors directly.

This is much more comfortable than pushing and giving in.

After returning home, Gao Xian couldn't wait to open the storage bag and take out the five spiritual objects inside.

Most spiritual creatures are naturally born, and there is no strict quality control, so their quality naturally varies.

After checking, Gao Xian found that the five spiritual objects given by Yun Taihao were of extremely high quality.

According to the market price, these five high-quality spiritual objects cost about 700,000 to 800,000 spiritual stones.

Such a high price is actually unaffordable for ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

For Jindan, these spiritual objects are not cheap. Yun Taihao is bleeding heavily this time! Gao Xian asked Qi Niang a little worriedly: "Is this person really asking me for help?"

Qi Niang shook her head: "Yun Taihao can't ask you for help personally, and as for the sect's affairs, you can't do it either."

"That's the truth."

Gao Xian chuckled. His status was too low now and it was not his turn to interfere in Qingyun Sect’s decision-making.

I guess this is Yun Taihao's way of winning over others, but his move is really big.

Gao Xian praised: "As expected of the sect leader, he is generous in his actions. Lao Yun is actually a person who can be trusted..."

After getting the benefits, Gao Xian felt that his impression of Yun Taihao had greatly changed, and he felt that this person was not bad.

At least he is generous in giving gifts, which is a good advantage.

Zhu Qinnan knew that Gao Xian was just talking. He was a man with deep thoughts, and it was not easy to make close friends with him.

She asked softly, "How long will you stay this time?"

"It's so hard to come back, why don't you leave after the New Year?"

Gao Xian said: "I have already talked to the sect, it's fine to stay for a year or two."

Zhu Qinnan couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and she took the initiative to hug Gao Xian.

"Want to come?"

Gao Xian laughed, and Zhu Qinnan was about to explain when she was dragged to the battlefield.

After several rounds of making love, Gao Xian hugged the soft and limp Qinniang, feeling satisfied and proud.

"Qiniang, you are getting weaker and weaker. You are simply vulnerable..."

Qi Niang glanced at Gao Xian and said nothing. She really couldn't say anything harsh. After not seeing him for two years, Gao Xian had become very scary and completely overwhelmed her physically.

Gao Xian patted Qi Niang on the shoulder and said, "Don't slack off in your cultivation."

Qi Niang was speechless. She was extremely diligent in her cultivation and often used spiritual objects to assist her, but she still hadn't been able to break through to the third level of foundation building.

Her cultivation speed was already very fast in the foundation building stage. Gao Xian reached the fourth level from the first level in five years, which was abnormal.

"If you can scream nicely, I can help you." Gao Xian teased.

Qi Niang was a little shy, as she felt Gao Xian was just flirting with her.

"Then act like a spoiled child..."

"If you can't do that, you can just imitate the meow of a cat or a dog..."

"Hey hey hey... Don't be so impatient when we're just joking, don't bite me..."

"I give in."

Gao Xian quickly admitted defeat and begged for mercy. He took out the third-level green gold fruit and the ten-thousand-year jadeite, and said, "You are such a heartless woman. Look, this is prepared for you."

Qi Niang recognized the green lazuli fruit. She took it and studied it for a while as if it were a thousand-year-old chalcedony, and recognized its origin.

She was very surprised and touched, "Is this for me?"

"Yes, you have always been the most important in my heart." Gao Xian took the opportunity to say sweet words. Things have been done, so don't leave out words.

"Ah Xian..." Qinnan was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. She just hugged Gao Xian tightly, and her tears couldn't help but drip onto Gao Xian.

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

Gao Xian never returned, and they only exchanged letters twice.

Qiniang was actually very uneasy, afraid that Gao Xian would leave her, but she also knew that she had no control over such things.

Even if she stayed by Gao Xian's side, she couldn't stop Gao Xian from interacting with other female practitioners.

Therefore, she would rather stay in Lianyun City, where she has her career and position. Here she can also get more resources and does not need to rely on Gao Xian.

Today, Gao Xian gave her a big surprise. Not to mention the third-level lapis lazuli fruit, just the ten-thousand-year-old chalcedony was enough to show how much Gao Xian cared about her.

Being cared for and loved by others like this, she really couldn't control her emotions...

"You're really acting like a spoiled brat."

Gao Xian lovingly helped Qi Niang wipe her tears. He said softly, "While I'm here, I can help you practice."

Lapis Lazuli and Thousand Year Jade are both very powerful spiritual objects, but their levels are a bit too high for Qiniang.

It just so happens that he is here, and can help Qinniang transform her spiritual power through dual cultivation. This will be of great benefit to Qinniang, and it will also be of some benefit to him.

Qinnan was extremely serious about her cultivation, and she and Gao Xian immediately entered the secret cultivation room.

Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness is powerful, and after he has refined the Great Vajra, his control over his magical powers has become even more precise.

He was also proficient in pharmacology and specialized in the study of lapis lazuli and chalcedony.

With his guidance and help, Qinnan successfully transformed and absorbed the two spiritual creatures.

The power of the spiritual objects was too strong. Even with the help of Gao Xian, it took Qinnan more than a month to initially absorb the power of the two spiritual objects.

During this period, Qinnan's cultivation base increased explosively from the fourth level of foundation building to the middle level of foundation building.

This is only one third of the spiritual power.

Gao Xian estimated that the ten thousand year old chalcedony plus the lapis lazuli fruit would be enough for Qinnan to reach the late stage of foundation building within a few years.

These two important spiritual objects also laid an extremely solid foundation for Qi Niang. Given time, they would have the opportunity to form a golden elixir.

Of course, it’s a bit early to say this now.

When the two came out of the secret room, it was almost the end of the year.

Gao Xian took Qiniang to visit Yun Taihao again and chose two exquisite magic weapons from the storage bag as gifts. He couldn't go empty-handed.

Yun Taihao understood Gao Xian's meaning very well. It was just a small matter of New Year's greetings, and bringing Qi Niang with him meant that he should take care of her.

They are all smart people, so it is easy to communicate with them.

As the year draws to a close, Changsheng Hall has a lot of things to deal with that need to be handled by Qiniang.

Gao Xian just lies on the bed and enjoys a leisurely life every day. Well, if he has nothing to do, he will tease Xiao Bai.

Nan Pingsong's youngest son is already over six years old, with big, lively eyes and a talkative little mouth. He is also very cute because of his chubby white face. Even Qi Niang likes him very much.

Xiaobai no longer remembers Gaoxian, but he knows that Gaoxian holds an important position, so he looks for opportunities to get close to Gaoxian every day.

Gao Xian also thought this kid was good. He was just too young, and it was fun to tease him, but he didn't want to raise a real child.

On New Year's Eve, Gao Xian and Qin Niang took Xiao Bai to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

After the New Year's Eve, Gao Xian and Qiniang stayed together until the early morning. Before dawn, he quietly left Lianyun City and rode the Yin-Yang Wheel straight to Qingxia Peak.

After refining the Great Vajra, Gao Xian now has powerful magic power and a strong body.

Controlling the Yin-Yang Wheel seemed extremely easy, and the speed was increased by about 20%.

He could fly steadily at a speed of 400 feet per breath, although the consumption of mana was still very high. But he could sustain it for several hours without any problem.

In just over an hour, Gao Xian arrived at Qingxia Peak.

Gao Xian activated the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Invisible Heavenly Clothes, hid his body in the sky and observed until the sun rose in the east. Then he found a cave on another mountain and rested for a while.

This is a matter of life and death, so although Gao Xian is confident, he still has to act with caution.

After two days of observation, Gao Xian determined the general situation. That night, he used the Floating Cloud Flag to cover the cave and took out the Mirror of Wind and Moon.

After accumulating for two months, there are already one million spiritual lights. Gao Xian thought about it and upgraded to the thirty-sixth level of ice and fire.

There are a large number of cultivators in the underground ruins. Facing a large number of low-level cultivators, Fiery Sun Bombs and Mysterious Ice Arrows are more useful.

With the spiritual light of six hundred and forty thousand people invested, the Thirty-Sixth Heaven of Ice and Fire rose to the Grandmaster realm.

The levels of Fiery Sun Bomb and Mysterious Ice Arrow both rose to the master level.

Gao Xian tested it in the Temple of Heart and was very satisfied with the upgrade results.

At this level, Gao Xian can control the Fiery Sun Bomb and the Mysterious Ice Arrow at will and do whatever he wants.

Everything was ready. Gao Xian looked at the sky outside. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

The cold in the mountains was brutal, and the midday sun could not provide any warmth, but only reflected the snow on the mountains, making everything look particularly bright and dazzling.

Deep inside the entrance to the ruins, there were several tents where a group of cultivators were drinking.

A second-level magic circle was set up in front of the tent, completely blocking the entrance to the ruins.

Gao Xian activated the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Invisible Heavenly Clothes, which silently penetrated the formation and reached the numerous cultivators.

The Taiji Xuanguang Invisible Heavenly Robe is more magical than the Shadowless Robe. There was also a foundation-building cultivator among the group of cultivators, and he was unaware of the Gaoxian who was so close.

Gao Xian watched from the side for a while. This group of people posed no threat and killing them would only cause trouble. He quietly walked past the crowd and headed deeper into the cave.

Having been here several times, Gao Xian is already very familiar with the ruins.

This time he wanted to explore the Qinghua Small Cave Heaven, so there was no need and he didn't want the cultivators here to take action.

The Seven Evils Sect and the Yin Demon Sect were not pushovers either. If they really attracted a master, he would have no choice but to flee.

Gao Xian came to the location of Qinghua Small Cave Heaven with familiarity, but found that there were more than ten cultivators gathered here.

A group of people gathered at the entrance of Qinghua Small Cave Heaven. This was definitely not a coincidence. Gao Xian felt something was wrong...
