Chapter 328 Cutting Off
After coming out of the Jade Mirror Palace, Gao Xian went straight to the Sutra Discussion Hall.
Well, go ask my good friend Lu Jingxu to help me buy the Nine Revolutions Dingyuan Pill.
Yun Qingxuan had pointed out the way, so he had to follow it. He had gone to great lengths to copy the poem just for this.
That's not right. Sitting and discussing Taoism with Yun Qingxuan is a very elegant thing. It's quite interesting to do it occasionally.
Yun Qingxuan is the true cultivator. He does not care about worldly affairs or worldly feelings. He attains enlightenment by the lake and has his own world in his heart.
Moreover, she can do things. She moves like thunder and strikes the target.
Gao Xian admired this magnanimity and wisdom.
Gao Xian felt that Yun Qingxuan would achieve great success, even higher than Yun Zaitian.
Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, Yun Qingxuan has the full support of the sect and sufficient resources, so she doesn't need to run around for this.
If Yun Qingxuan was a casual cultivator, given her personality, she would have no chance of reaching this point.
As for Yun Qiu Shui, his good brother, he is too willful and indulgent, and lacks the perseverance and tenacity to stick to the sword.
Fortunately, he has the sect's support, and Yun Qiu Shui is a top-third-grade swordsman. With his talent, it is very likely that he will become a Nascent Soul Sword Lord.
If the Qingyun Sect could produce two Nascent Soul True Lords, it would surely greatly enhance its reputation.
Gao Xian was quite looking forward to it. He naturally didn't have too deep feelings for Qingyun Sect, he felt like it was a big company.
The company's welfare benefits are very good, the leaders value him and even gave him some shares, which makes him quite satisfied.
Moreover, he now has the Qingyun mark, so it is impossible for him to change jobs. Of course, he hopes that the company will become bigger and stronger and create more glory.
It was just that the East Wasteland had undergone a huge change, and Gao Xian could already feel the huge pressure coming at him. The constant intrusion of the Jindan Demon Cultivators into the Qingyun Sect was a clear proof of this.
Gao Xian also felt a little uneasy, he didn't know if Qingyun Sect could hold out.
These are not things he can control. All he can do is try his best to improve his own skills and be prepared for contingencies.
When he arrived at the lecture hall, Gao Xian pushed the door open and walked into Lu Jingxu's study without any courtesy. Lu Jingxu was reading a book and was a little surprised to see Gao Xian barging in.
"Senior Brother Lu, you look very good..." Gao Xian greeted with a smile.
Two years later, Lu Jingxu's complexion was rosy and he looked calm and confident. It was obvious that his injuries had healed and he was in very good condition.
Lu Jingxu stood up and looked Gao Xian up and down. He said seriously, "I heard that you killed another Jindan demon cultivator, and he was a Jindan late stage real person!"
Gao Xian smiled reservedly: "It's been two years. It's just a small matter. Don't mention it again."
"You brat!"
Lu Jingxu cursed with a smile, then he said with emotion: "You have only been here for twelve years. At that time, I thought you were a little old. I never thought..."
He witnessed Gao Xian taking the lead in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly with his own eyes. At that time, Yun Changfeng and he both felt that Gao Xian had limited future.
But according to the sect's rules, Gao Xian must be given the status of a true disciple of Shenxiao.
Lu Jingxu secretly accepted Li Feihuang as his apprentice. Of course, he had a competitive mentality at the beginning, hoping that Li Feihuang could defeat Gao Xian.
When Gao Xian killed the Jindan demon cultivator Yin Jiushi in Fengyuan Valley, he knew that there was indeed a big gap between Li Feihuang and Gao Xian.
Since then, Lu Jingxu has also looked at Gao Xian with admiration, and their friendship has grown increasingly deep.
Privately, Lu Jingxu became increasingly strict with Li Feihuang, hoping that she could catch up with Gao Xian.
As a result, news came back two years ago that Gao Xian single-handedly killed a Jindan demon cultivator in the Lihuo Underground Palace.
Lu Jingxu was shocked, but calmed down. A genius like Gao Xian cannot be judged by common sense. Although Li Feihuang is a genius, he cannot be compared with Gao Xian.
As a friend, he was actually very happy for Gao Xian. He was so amazing just after building his foundation, what would it be like when Gao Xian achieved the Golden Elixir?
Lu Jingxu asked casually: "You definitely won't come to my house if you have nothing to do. Tell me what's the matter?"
"Brother, you are so smart. I want to buy the Nine Revolutions Dingyuan Pill. Can you help me find a way?" Lu Jingxu took the initiative to bring up the topic, and Gao Xian certainly wouldn't be polite.
"The Nine Revolutions Dingyuan Pill can only be made by Li Baoding, the head of the Alchemy Institute. He has a good temper, but he loves money. If you don't have money, forget it..."
Lu Jingxu and Gao Xian were good friends, so he said directly, "You need to be prepared."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I still have some spirit stones, which should be enough to buy elixirs. Please ask my senior brother to introduce me to someone."
"Okay, I'll ask him to have a drink at Changle Tower tonight. If he drinks your wine, he'll definitely give you some discount..."
Lu Jingxu had an easygoing personality and was the head of the Lecture Hall, so all the disciples from various schools had to be sent to study under him.
Therefore, he had extensive connections in the sect, and he invited Li Baoding over that night.
Li Baoding is a short and fat middle-aged man, with a faint smell of elixir, wearing an ochre-yellow robe, always smiling, and seems to have a good temper.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Baoding's somewhat blurry eyes began to become unbridled, and he kept clinging to the dancer's thighs and refused to move.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Jingxu helped Gao Xian to ask for the Nine-Transformation Dingyuan Pill.
Gao Xian was also very polite and begged Li Baoding for help. Li Baoding did not pretend and directly offered two top-grade spirit stones for each.
Gao Xian and Lu Jingxu enthusiastically accompanied him with drinks and said a lot of nice things. Only then did Li Baoding slap his thigh proudly and said, "We are all family, so I will give you a top-grade spirit stone for each one."
Li Baoding said to Gao Xian with a sincere face: "Junior brother is also an alchemist, you must understand how difficult it is to make a nine-turn elixir."
"Indeed, the Nine Revolutions Pill can only be made by a master of alchemy like my senior brother."
Gao Xian said with a guilty look on his face: "I don't have much talent in alchemy, but I just made it for fun. I'll need your guidance in the future."
"Hey, we are all from the same school, why do we have to say such polite words..."
Li Baoding said sternly: "Junior brother has a promising future. Alchemy is an unorthodox path after all. There is no need to waste time on it. Cultivation is the true path to immortality!"
He raised his glass: "Let's not talk about this, please."
Gao Xian knew that Li Baoding was trying to change the subject deliberately. How could he teach the alchemy master's skills to him for nothing?
He was not disappointed. Alchemy was indeed profitable, but Li Baoding had invested countless energy and time in it, and he himself had extraordinary talent, so he was able to refine the Nine-Transformation Dingyuan Pill.
This money is what people deserve.
He has formed a golden elixir, so he is not guilty of this. Unless he has no money...
The deal was done, the three of them were very happy, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
After getting about 50% to 60% drunk, the two masters stayed in Changle Tower to relax, while Gao Xian returned to his home in Qingyun City.
Old man Zhou Ye was awakened in the middle of the night. His face was full of fatigue and he could hardly open his eyes.
Gao Xian could see that the old man was really old.
Twenty years ago the old man was almost seventy, and now he is almost ninety.
For a Qigong practitioner, if they take good care of themselves, they can only live to be 110 or 120 years old at most. Zhou Ye is now showing signs of old age, and it is obvious that he will not live that long.
"Mr. Gao is back." Zhou Ye came up to greet him respectfully.
Although he hadn't seen Gao Xian for several years, Zhou Ye could always hear of his reputation. He was becoming more and more awed by this former junior.
Gao Xian waved his hand: "Uncle Zhou, we don't have to be polite."
Gao Xian took Zhou Ye back to the study. He hadn't been back for a few years, so the room was very clean.
The old man did a good job in the details.
"How are Wei Cheng and the others?" Gao Xian asked casually.
"I come here every month to pay. In the past two years, I have paid more than 213,000 spirit stones. I keep track of it."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhou Ye lowered his head slightly. He had made some money from it and felt a little guilty in front of Gao Xian.
Gao Xian had very sharp perceptions and he knew what was going on as soon as he saw the old man's appearance.
He found it somewhat amusing, but of course he would not argue with the old man over such a small matter.
Let alone Zhou Ye, no matter who it was, if no one cared about it, they would definitely try to make money from it. This is human nature.
Well, except for Daniel. But Daniel is not normal.
Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhou, please call Wei Cheng and the others over. I have something to say."
Zhou Ye went there in a hurry, and soon Wei Cheng and his wife arrived.
Wei Cheng had obviously aged a lot, but Wei Shuangshuang was still as beautiful and plump as ever. The couple stood in front of Gao Xian, both of them were very respectful.
Gao Xian used his foundation-building cultivation to defeat a late-stage Jindan immortal, and this incident caused a sensation in Qingyun City.
They have always used Gao Xian as their flagship, and their business has been going smoothly in the past two years. Naturally, they are even more in awe of Gao Xian.
Especially Wei Cheng, who was very upset because he asked Wei Shuangshuang to please Gao Xian last time but it didn't work out.
If this thing didn't work, he didn't know what Gao Xian thought of him. Gao Xian didn't argue with him, but he was a little unsure of Gao Xian's thoughts.
Gao Xian called both of them here today, which made him have some other thoughts.
"This guy wanted him to listen at the door, so he called both of them over... After all, this guy is so good at playing in the book!"
Gao Xian had no idea about the dirty thoughts in Wei Cheng's mind. He suddenly had a feeling in the Yujing Palace today. In order to avoid trouble, he had to make things clear on Wei Cheng's side.
"You two, I will be in seclusion in the sect for the next few years. I don't have time to deal with trivial matters."
Gao Xian said slowly, "When you are in my position, it is inevitable that you will have some enemies. For your safety, you'd better stop doing business."
Wei Cheng was startled, and he bravely looked up at Gao Xian. He could not see any emotion on the other's handsome face.
This made Wei Cheng feel a chill in his heart. Gao Xian was not testing them, nor was he dissatisfied with the profit sharing. Gao Xian just wanted to stop the cooperation.
Wei Cheng didn't know what to say, he couldn't help but look at Wei Shuangshuang. Wei Shuangshuang pursed her red lips, didn't dare to look at Gao Xian, and didn't dare to speak.
Zhou Ye wanted to say something but stopped himself. When Gao Xian glanced at him, he immediately swallowed what he was about to say.
After Wei Cheng and his wife left, Gao Xian said to Zhou Ye, "Uncle Zhou, you should just take care of yourself in your old age and stop running around."
Zhou Ye said with some uneasiness: "Will someone really deal with us?"
Gao Xian smiled and said, "It's okay. I won't do anything to you unless I die."
The old man Zhou Ye is just a housekeeper. There is no point in taking action against him, and it will alarm him instead.
He added: "If you are worried, come back with me to the sect. But the sect is cold and boring, and it is very inconvenient to go in and out."
The old man has not much time left. He can enjoy all kinds of things in Qingyun City. But if he goes to the mountains, he will not have a good life.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ye decided to stay in the old house. He said that he was helping Gao Xian to look after the house.
Gao Xian sent two more letters to Qinnan, asking her to reunite with the Qingyun Sect.
Today, Gao Xian is able to arrange a suitable position for Qinnan.
After waiting for two days, Gao Xian received a reply from the Zhu family, saying that Qiniang was in seclusion and could not reply.
Gao Xian had no choice but to return to Qingyun Sect. His current situation was special, and he would never fight with anyone unless it was absolutely necessary, so it was better for him to stay in the sect for safety.
Autumn goes and spring comes, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Gao Xian stays at Xuandu Peak every day, and hardly ever leaves Xuandu Peak except when he goes to the Lunjing Academy to teach.
I bought the Nine-Transformation Dingyuan Pill from Li Baoding and took one pill every ten days.
The Nine-Turn Dingyuan Pill can completely remove the drug poison, and its subtle medicinal power can penetrate every part of the body, continuously nourishing Gao Xian's physical essence.
This kind of nourishment takes effect slowly, but it can continuously strengthen the essence in a stable and orderly manner.
Gao Xian just did his daily homework, read books on weekdays, and wrote a book when he was interested. His life was plain and leisurely.
Occasionally, he would visit Yun Qingxuan in Yujing Palace to ask him questions about cultivation.
Other than that, he would hang out with Yun Qiushui. Sometimes he would go to Changle Tower for a walk, but he never stayed overnight there.
Such a peaceful and leisurely life also allows Gao Xian to completely relax his mind and body, and he is in a state of lightness, looseness, roundness, emptiness and tranquility.
By May, Rendao Lingguang had finally saved up 19.2 million.
Gao Xian had been waiting for this day for a long time. Without hesitation, he put all his spiritual energy into the Daluo Transformation Avatar Technique.
This secret technique was directly elevated to the Grandmaster's level of perfection.
Deep in Gao Xian's sea of consciousness, the three divine images of Taixuan, Taiyuan and Taiji surrounded Gao Xian's true soul.
The three divine images emitted billions of tiny rays of light, completely penetrating Gao Xian's true soul. Through billions of rays of light, the four of them established a complex and extremely stable connection...
