Chapter 291 White Lotus Blooms

In late October, the autumn colors dyed the mountains brilliant.

This is also the most active season for monsters. They need to hunt enough prey to survive the long winter.

The closer you get to the East Desert, the colder the winter gets. For both humans and monsters, the cold winter is extremely difficult to endure.

Dong Yong and his companions have been hunting monsters in the mountains for many years and are very experienced.

Gao Xian doesn't even need to take action when encountering monsters, they can cooperate tacitly and kill them easily.

Even some second-level monsters can be killed by them through magic tools and poisons, but the process is more thrilling.

Gao Xian just watched from the side without offering any help.

This group of people can handle it, so there is no need for him to take action. Taking the initiative will only attract disgust.

Dong Yong and the others probably didn't want to share the prey with him.

The group of people wandered in the mountains for seven or eight days. Dong Yong and his team gained a lot, but Gao Xian didn't even see the shadow of any evil spirit.

That night, Dong Yong and his friends had already slept around the campfire.

Gao Xian was a little impatient. Turning around like this was just a matter of luck. He still needed to use some proactive strategies to deal with evil spirits.

There are many kinds of evil spirits. According to Dong Yong and others, this evil spirit with ox horns likes to devour flesh and blood.

Since you can't find it, try using bait.

Gao Xian flicked his finger and a drop of blood flew from his fingertips into the air.

The crystal clear blood exudes a strong spiritual energy.

He has mastered the Vajra, and his body has been tempered day and night by secret methods. The power of his essence and blood is far superior to that of ordinary golden elixirs.

This drop of blood essence exuded a rich aura that quickly spread outwards.

Cultivators have a weak sense of blood, but wild beasts' noses can easily smell blood from miles away.

Gao Xian stimulated this drop of blood, which was as pure as gold without any bloody smell. However, the aura of the blood essence itself was like a flame in the dark, which should be very attractive to evil spirits.

After a while, a giant snake came running over following the scent.

The giant black snake crawled silently underground. It did not move very fast. The smell of blood was very attractive to it, but it could also vaguely sense a dangerous aura.

The black giant snake is already at the second level. It has some intelligence and is keenly sensitive to danger.

A cold light came through the air with a sharp roar. The giant black snake sensed something was wrong and suddenly twisted its body to retreat, but the cold light had already penetrated deeply into the snake's head.

The snake's thick body twitched and soon it died.

With the black ice arrows fired by Gao Xian, killing these second-level monsters is a piece of cake.

The sharp whistle of the black ice arrow also woke up Dong Yong and others.

"It's okay, it's just a monster."

Gao Xian said softly: "Just take a rest."

That being said, Dong Yong and his friends couldn't sleep.

After a few days, they all felt that Gao Xian had a good temper, was polite to others, and never gave orders in a condescending manner.

This made them all feel that Gao Xian was a good person, and they gradually became less respectful and more intimate with him.

Gao Xian never takes action, which inevitably makes them feel doubtful. Is this man who is an expert in both magic and swordsmanship real?

However, a shot of black ice arrow tonight shocked Dong Yong and the others.

They didn't see the black ice arrow, but the sharp whistling sound was so fierce that they felt like they were pierced through just by listening to it.

Dong Yong and others exchanged glances, and no one dared to ask more questions or speak.

After a while, they saw the cold light flashing through the air and the sharp whistling sound echoing in the mountains.

This went on for most of the night. Dong Yong and the others couldn't sleep at all. They all huddled together and breathed carefully, fearing that their loud breathing would disturb Gao Xian.

As the sky in the east began to turn white, it was the time when ghosts bared their teeth, and the mountains and fields became darker and deeper.

Gao Xian, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a long white and gold streamer in the darkness.

Dong Yong and the others knew something was wrong, and they all stood up in a hurry. One of them asked, "Boss, do you want to go up?"

Before the man finished speaking, a ball of blazing lightning suddenly exploded in the depths of the woods in the distance, followed by an earth-shaking roar.

Dong Yong and others only felt that the ground seemed to be shaking and the surrounding mountains seemed to be shaking.

Such a terrifying sound made Dong Yong and others change color with horror, and some of them couldn't control their whole bodies trembling.

It's not that they are timid, but the sound of the mountains collapsing and the earth splitting is too terrifying, and they seem to be in danger of death at any time.

Just when Dong Yong and the others were feeling anxious, a green shadow flashed and Gao Xian had returned.

"Master Gao!" Dong Yong was overjoyed. Gao Xian's appearance made him feel particularly safe.

Gao Xian responded softly, seeming not to be very interested.

Dong Yong looked at Gao Xian carefully and found that he was spotless from head to toe, without even a stray hair. His breathing was long and even, and his expression was calm, as if he had just gone out for a walk.

He thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Master Gao, is it an evil spirit?"

"This guy is cunning, let it run away."

Gao Xian was also a little depressed. He knew that the opponent could use earth and wood escape techniques, so he used the golden whip to subdue demons right from the start.

With one strike, the opponent was still able to escape underground.

Gao Xian had a magic mirror that could detect flowers and had a strong spiritual sense, so he thought he could lock onto the other party's aura.

After all, it was an evil spirit, how could its evil aura escape his eyes? As a result, the evil spirit disappeared as soon as it entered the ground, and all its aura disappeared.

This was the first time Gao Xian encountered such a situation, and he was a little confused.

When Yin Jiushi was escaping, he tried his best to conceal his breath, but he still couldn't escape his tracking.

The evil spirit can hide its aura without revealing it at all, which is much more powerful than Yin Jiushi.

This battle made Gao Xian realize the seriousness of the problem. As long as he couldn't kill the evil spirit with one blow, he would have no way to keep it away.

No wonder Fan Ling is so confident and looks like she is the only one who can do it.

After Gao Xian confirmed this, he no longer wanted to run around with Dong Yong and the others.

"I'm leaving first. These monsters will be considered as your reward." He gave some instructions and turned into a platinum rainbow that flew away into the sky.

Dong Yong blinked his eyes and was about to speak, but he could no longer see Gao Xian. He could only see the rainbow of light left by the other party in the sky.

"this……"

"Mr. Gao flies really fast!"

A stout woman couldn't help but ask, "He said he would give us 500 spirit stones, but I don't know if it's enough."

Dong Yong glared at the woman, "Don't talk nonsense."

He actually had some concerns in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He couldn't afford the consequences if Gao Xian heard it.

It was already dawn, and Dong Yong and his team searched around and found that there were dozens of monsters around, including two second-level monsters.

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

All the monsters had their heads pierced by magic and were killed in one blow.

They saw again the battlefield where Gao Xian had fought. A huge deep pit with a diameter of several feet was left on the ground. With the deep pit as the center, thousands of cracks appeared on the ground and spread far away.

All the trees within a radius of several hundred feet were carbonized and shattered.

Such terrifying power shocked Dong Yong and others, as they had all witnessed the power of foundation-building cultivators.

At this moment, everyone was suspicious. Was Gao Xian really not a Jindan? ! Gao Xian had already returned to the inn and entered Fan Lingzhen's room.

He didn't want to waste time, and since so many people gave him money, he had enough money and didn't care about a few thousand spirit stones, so he was so generous.

"Fellow Daoist Fan, tell me, how can we cooperate?" Gao Xian was very direct. Fan Ling was really a smart person, and there was no point in beating around the bush with her.

Fan Lingzhen seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment. The corners of her mouth curled up in a very beautiful arc, "Daoyou, I will help you kill the evil spirit. After you succeed, the magic weapon on the evil spirit will belong to me."

"Does the evil spirit have any magical tools on him?"

Gao Xian thought of the silver ring on the evil spirit's neck. He had always felt that there was a hint of magical power flowing through this thing, but he never expected it to be a magical weapon.

The evil spirit that could control magical instruments really broadened his horizons.

He asked, "Do you know this evil spirit?"

Fan Lingzhen nodded: "Strictly speaking, she is my uncle, named Bai Jie. She died because of her visualization of the Black Sun Tathagata. As a result, she turned into an evil spirit..."

Gao Xian was silent for a moment and then said, "The secret method of your White Lotus Sect is truly miraculous."

"It's normal to go astray while practicing the secret method."

Fan Lingzhen said disapprovingly: "Even if the thirty-six volumes of Qingyun were passed down from the orthodox Xuanmen, there would still be practitioners who would go astray and become possessed."

When it comes to such a major matter as sect practice, although Fan Lingzhen doesn't want to offend Gao Xian, he has to argue a few words.

"What magic weapon does Bai Jie have?" Gao Xian asked.

Fan Lingzhen had already considered this, and knew that Gao Xian would definitely ask. She said openly, "This is my sect's White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring. This ring can lock the heart and calm the mind, preventing it from being attacked by external demons.

"Master Bai Jie has this item in his hand, but he has also become evil. It's really strange."

Gao Xian immediately understood. No wonder the evil aura was so secretive. The White Lotus Heart-Locking Ring must have the magical effect of blocking the aura.

Fan Lingzhen said that she could find the evil spirits, it must be because she had a secret technique that could sense the White Lotus Heart Locking Ring.

She didn't go herself because she couldn't defeat the evil spirit.

Gao Xian felt a little puzzled. Fan Lingzhen didn't know his true ability, so why did he insist on cooperating with him?

He asked, "How do you know I can definitely kill the evil spirit?"

Fan Lingzhen looked at Gao Xian with a strange expression, "Because you have the Tianshu Thunder Demon-Subduing Golden Whip in your hand. This third-grade top-grade magic weapon is specially designed to defeat evil spirits and demons."

"Hmm?" Gao Xian was a little confused. After all, this thing was the most precious treasure of Xuanzhen Sect. He had never shown it off in public after getting it. How did Fan Lingzhen know about it?

Fan Lingzhen's expression became even weirder. "This news has spread everywhere."

She added, "I heard that Xuan Zhen Sect intends to ask you to take this treasure back, so we should hurry up."

Gao Xian suddenly understood that the news must have been spread by Shui Yuying.

This woman hated him and spread the news, attracting the Xuan Zhen Sect.

He was a little embarrassed, because this thing was indeed from Xuanzhen Sect, but it was snatched away by Yin Jiushi, so the thing had changed its owner.

The world of cultivators is like this. It’s useless to talk about family heirlooms.

The truth is that it is yours only if you have the ability to hold it. If you can't hold it, it is not yours.

The Demon-Subduing Golden Whip is really useful. Its power increases several times when combined with the Thunder and Lightning Technique.

Besides, he just likes being a handsome boy with a golden whip!

Without the golden whip, the beautiful boy is no longer interesting.

Gao Xian simply didn't think about it and would deal with it later. Anyway, he was useful now and he definitely couldn't pay it back.

He looked at Fan Lingzhen and said, "Fellow Daoist, brothers should settle accounts clearly. You were only responsible for finding the evil spirit, but you took the White Lotus Heart Locking Ring. Don't you think this is a bit unfair?"

Fan Lingzhen glanced at Gao Xian with a half-smile, her eyes were somewhat teasing and somewhat seductive.

She whispered, "It's indeed a bit unfair. How about this, I will practice dual cultivation with you for a few days as a small compensation."

Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Fan Lingzhen said meaningfully: "The method of my sect's white lotus blossoming can allow people to reach the fairyland directly. I will never let you down..."

Gao Xian bowed his hands solemnly and said: "There is such a wonderful method, please teach me!"

(It’s the last day of August, brothers, don’t hold on to your monthly tickets, go for it~)
