Chapter 356: Tian Xiang Sword Talisman
"A deal that concerns my life?"
Gao Xian probably understood what Xiao Hongye meant. He smiled and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
Xiao Hongye, who was standing opposite, felt her eyes light up. She didn't know what was shining. Was it Gao Xian's neat white teeth? Or his eyes that were as bright as stars? Or his handsome face? Or maybe it was all of them.
The Tongtian Sword Sect is a huge sect, with many talented people.
However, Xiao Hongye had never seen a man as handsome as Gao Xian. Well, Yun Qiu Shui was more handsome, but looked like a sissy.
For her, the most important thing for a man is that he is strong enough, and what his face looks like is secondary.
Yun Qiu Shui couldn't even beat Han Chengzhen, so no matter how handsome he was, she wouldn't look down on him.
Gao Xian, who was able to kill Gui Wuqi, was so handsome no matter how he looked at her, which made her heart moved.
If Gao Xian was from the same school, she really couldn't help but marry him. What a pity.
As the core disciple of the sect, it is absolutely impossible for her to marry a cultivator from outside the sect, and even having an intimate relationship with him is a taboo.
Xiao Hongye knew this, but she couldn't help but look at Gao Xian a few more times. He was really handsome. Even if one used the Golden Core consciousness to observe, one could only see that Gao Xian was bright and clear inside and out, so charming.
Xiao Hongye was not an ordinary woman after all, and she immediately suppressed the instantaneous impulse in her heart.
Sword cultivators are not without emotions and desires. Practicing the Sword of Cutting Emotions to cut off desires like Gui Wuqi does only proves that Gui Wuqi has no confidence in his ability to control the seven emotions, and thus he has taken an extreme and evil path.
Gui Wuqi is a sword of transcendence, and she is a sword of involvement.
The sword of leaving the world is resolute, but abandoning one's nature is like being possessed by a demon. The sword of entering the world tosses and turns in the world but is not confused, and only then can one see one's true heart and nature.
How can a sword cultivator be heartless? How can a heartless person love the sword? It is through all kinds of love and hate, sorrow and joy, anger and happiness that one can understand one's true heart and be sure that what one loves most is the sword in one's hand and what one yearns for most is the supreme sword path.
Xiao Hongye had such awareness, and she never thought that there was anything wrong with her being attracted to Gao Xian, a man she had only met once.
"Perhaps this person is the best whetstone for my sword, sharpening my swordsmanship. If I can pass this level, I will be able to truly surpass Gui Wuqi!"
This thought that suddenly came to Xiao Hongye's mind was like a flame that ignited her heart, and her whole body seemed to be on fire.
Decades of pure sword skills training were ignited by this spark.
She was not panicked, but rather happy.
This was a natural liking from her heart, without any compulsion. Therefore, the more refined her sword skills became, the more difficult it was for her to suppress this passion.
Gao Xian on the opposite side also noticed something was wrong. Why did Xiao Hongye's eyes suddenly become hot? He was too familiar with this.
Gao Xian was a little confused. "This woman is suddenly so aroused? Does she really want to sleep with him?"
Xiao Hongye suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She had been practicing sword for too long and usually looked down on everyone. Now that she was moved, she could hardly control herself.
Being in love is one thing, but she won't lose her mind like a young girl because of a thought. At least not yet.
She can be more engaged and serious, and she needs to be spontaneous instead of trying hard to show that emotional look.
Xiao Hongye said to Gao Xian in a shy voice, "Your Excellency's grace is so extraordinary that it makes people admire you so much that they can hardly control themselves. Please forgive me for any inappropriate behavior."
Xiao Hongye's words were so direct that Gao Xian didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, he was an expert in the romantic world after all. He smiled and said, "I was also delighted to see you, and I felt as if it was our fate in the previous life. I just didn't dare to be presumptuous..."
Xiao Hongye couldn't help but smile. Gao Xian was really good at talking and very considerate. They liked each other and no one lost face.
She thought for a moment and said, "Master, let's talk business first."
Gao Xian said seriously: "I'm not joking."
Xiao Hongye explained with a little embarrassment: "I made a mistake. I meant to talk about business first."
"Okay." Gao Xian was a little confused about Xiao Hongye's routine. Using beauty to seduce before discussing things to make bargaining easier?
Xiao Hongye adjusted his mood and said, "Master, we will have a sparring match tomorrow at noon. If you can give me three points, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Gao Xian had already guessed what Xiao Hongye was thinking. He nodded and said, "I wonder what the master means by a generous reward?"
You can be vague when talking about feelings, but you have to be clear when talking about business.
His magic and sword skills are now known throughout Qingyun Road. Even many people in Wanling Sect and Yuelun Sect should know his reputation.
Gao Xian is a very realistic person. It doesn't matter if he loses to Xiao Hongye. It's just an empty title. However, it must be of sufficient value.
Xiao Hongye said sternly: "Is it enough to give you a life?"
Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, then of course it's worth it. But how did you get this life? Please tell me clearly, fellow Taoist."
"I told my fellow Taoist the news. If he denies it tomorrow, what should I do?" Xiao Hongye asked.
Gao Xian said slowly: "I won the first prize in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, defeated the Golden Core Demon Cultivator with my foundation building, and defeated the Wuqi Divine Sword at the celebration. I have come this far without losing a single time, and that is how I have accumulated some fame.
"You want me to give up my small reputation with just one sentence, but it's me who is in a difficult position..."
Xiao Hongye knew that Gao Xian was not exaggerating. His reputation as an expert in both magic and swordsmanship was extremely well-known in the Tongtian Sword Sect.
Otherwise, why would she come to make a deal with Gao Xian.
Xiao Hongye dared to come to Gao Xian, so she must have been prepared.
She said, "To show my sincerity, I will tell my fellow Taoists the news first."
Gao Xian was a little surprised. This woman trusted him so much? He nodded and said, "I will never let you suffer any loss."
If this information was really worth his life, he would naturally give back.
Xiao Hongye was also very straightforward. She said directly: "Gui Wuqi will ambush fellow Daoist in Tianxiang Sword Palace."
Gao Xian smiled politely. This was something he had expected. Xiao Hongye was not so naive and felt that this news was very valuable! "They have the Tianxiang Sword Talisman, which can activate the Sword Palace restriction."
Xiao Hongye naturally understood what Gao Xian meant. She pointed out the most important point, "The power of the Sword Palace's restriction has reached the sixth level. Even the Pure Yang Taoist may not be able to break the restriction. All magical powers and secret techniques below the sixth level will be suppressed. This includes magical powers such as teleportation and death substitution..."
Gao Xian was slightly shocked. Is this restriction so overbearing? He has an avatar that can instantly replace death and move, but he is not sure what level this magical power is, and whether it will be suppressed by the Sword Palace restriction.
In fact, the core of these magical powers is Fengyue Baojian. Otherwise, how can the Daluo Transformation Spirit Clone Method alone condense a permanent clone? It is too heaven-defying! Gao Xian feels that Fengyue Baojian should be far above the sixth level, but as for how high it is, he can't tell clearly with his vision.
However, this was only his judgment. Whether he could crack the Tianxiang Sword Talisman was still unclear.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Xiao Hongye's information is still quite valuable.
Gao Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant. Even if it's a restricted space, Gui Wuqi is no match for me."
"The Heavenly Sword Talisman can control the restrictions and limit your mana level to the foundation-building level."
Xiao Hongye said: "This kind of victory is certainly a trick, but it can also break through the mental barriers and greatly improve Gui Wuqi's swordsmanship."
"I see."
Gao Xian said very sincerely: "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist. However, this is still not worth it."
Xiao Hongye was about to speak when she saw the platinum halo behind Gao Xian turning silently, and Gao Xian disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, Gao Xian was back to his original place.
Xiao Hongye's powerful spiritual sense told her that Gao Xian had already circled the woods, coming and going in an instant.
Yet, the escaping technique was so fast and yet it was almost silent, showing Gao Xian's exquisite control over the escaping technique.
No wonder Gui Wuqi suffered a crushing defeat, because Gao Xian was able to come and go freely with this escape technique and take the initiative in the battle.
Xiao Hongye was somewhat puzzled as to what Gao Xian meant by his sudden use of the escape technique. Gao Xian said slowly, "Daoyou, do you think the escape technique I used my foundation-building magic power is worthy of your praise?"
"Hmm? Ah!"
There was obvious surprise and doubt on Xiao Hongye's beautiful face. She was not sure what level of magic power Gao Xian had used just now. She could only see that Gao Xian did not really use any strength.
Xiao Hongye was silent. Gao Xian’s meaning was very simple. He only had the foundation-building level of cultivation, and Gui Wuqi could not even touch him.
This is a denial of his guilt. No wonder Gui Wuqi denounced Gao Xian as being insidious and cunning. It was indeed so!
She was a little annoyed. It was fine that this man had used tricks on Gui Wuqi. They had already reached an agreement, but he turned around and denied it. This was too bad. She still thought Gao Xian was a person worth liking.
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I am a kind person. I cannot let you suffer any loss. Let's split the battle equally tomorrow. How do you think?"
Xiao Hongye looked at Gao Xian deeply, and she calmed down. There was no point in getting angry with Gao Xian.
She was silent for a moment and then said, "If you allow me to make a move, I can share the Tianxiang Sword Talisman with you. With this sword talisman, you can go deep into the Sun and Moon Palaces, the deepest part of the Sword Palace, and have a chance to obtain the supreme inheritance of the Tianxiang Sword Intent..."
"Okay. I'll do as you say."
Gao Xian readily agreed this time. He had a clone that could enter the Sword Palace, but he might not be able to enter the depths of the Sword Palace.
With Xiao Hongye leading the way, we can save countless troubles.
Besides, Xiao Hongye is not as old as him! Tianxiang Sword Palace opens once every sixty years, which means Xiao Hongye has never entered Tianxiang Sword Palace.
For Xiao Hongye, if she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait another sixty years. A person like Xiao Hongye would not waste sixty years just to harm him.
Xiao Hongye and Gao Xian reached a deal. She felt tired. She felt that Gao Xian was not so good-looking anymore, and she did not like him as much...
After returning to the room, Gao Xian thought about it for a long time and decided that there shouldn't be any big problem with the whole thing.
He only paid for a false reputation, but was able to gain the opportunity to enter the Sun and Moon Palaces of the Tianxiang Sword Palace, which was extremely rare.
Of course, Xiao Hongye might also be Gui Wuqi's man, working together to set a trap for him.
In his opinion, this possibility was extremely small. Xiao Hongye was not yet able to deceive his first-grade golden elixir.
The purity, flawlessness, and mysteriousness of the first-grade golden elixir meant that the lower-grade golden elixir could not deceive him...
