Chapter 465: The lingering ghost

Wanfeng City, first floor of the corner city, Qingyun House.

There is a courtyard in the shady green bamboo, with bamboo fences as walls. There are many elegant bamboo buildings built inside, and a clear stream runs through the courtyard. It is very elegant and quiet.

Yue Shenxiu, wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, accompanied Gao Xian on a tour of Qingyun Cottage. She said with some pride: "I bought this place a long time ago and asked a magic array master to renovate it for several years. The fourth-level magic array is enough to protect this place. The magic array is condensed into a spiritual eye, which is full of pure spiritual energy and is not inferior to the sect's spiritual land..."

The twenty-eight cities of Wanfeng were all built inside the hollowed-out mountains. Among the twenty-eight cities, Jiaocheng had the purest and most abundant spiritual energy. Most of the high-ranking members of the Wanfeng Sect had fixed residences in Jiaocheng.

Although Jiaocheng is within the mountain, there are still mountain peaks and rivers. Qingyun Cottage is located on the most central Jun Peak. This is also the highest point in Jiaocheng. There are more than ten courtyards on the mountain. Qingyun Cottage is at the highest point of the South Peak. There is no one around, and you can overlook the first floor of Jiaocheng. It can be said to be a golden location.

That is to say, Yue Shenxiu was able to take over this place because he was deeply favored by the sect's founder.

Gao Xian had said a few years ago that he would set up a base in Wanfeng City, but he never found the time. According to his plan, he would come to Wanfeng City at least one or two hundred years later.

This time he was forced to come to Wanfeng County in advance. He had no preparation and could only come to find Yue Shenxiu first.

Given their relationship, living in Yue Shenxiu's house was not a big deal. Gao Xian also thought the small building was nice, quiet and elegant, and interesting. The key point was that it was full of spiritual energy and had a high-level magic array for protection, making it suitable for long-term residence.

For cultivators, the most important thing about a residence is of course safety, followed by spiritual energy. As for the room style and surrounding environment, they are secondary.

Gao Xian looked at Qing Qing: "What do you think of this place?"

Qingqing looked at Yue Shenxiu carefully. She had actually met this woman once. For some reason, she felt that this woman was the most powerful among her father's many wives, followed by Yun Qingxuan.

Although Qi Niang was cold, she was not bad to people. She could never figure out Yue Shenxiu and Yun Qingxuan, and she was a little in awe of them.

She whispered, "It's fine."

Gao Xian couldn't help but smile. Although she was young, she was very good at judging people. She was not confused by Yue Shenxiu's girlish appearance. Perhaps it was her natural ability.

Gao Xian introduced Qingqing: "Her name is Yue Shenxiu, and she is my best friend. You can just call her Uncle Shi."

Qingqing hurriedly bowed her head and saluted: "Qingqing greets Uncle Master."

Yue Shenxiu smiled and nodded: "What a pretty girl."

In the Nine Nether Abyss, Gao Xian released Qingqing to eat the Pure Yang Jade Purity Flower. At that time, Yue Shenxiu had seen this girl.

Qingqing is pretty and cute, but Yue Shenxiu doesn't care. He just has to be polite to Qingqing for Gao Xian's sake.

She took out a female cyan robe from her sleeve and handed it to Qingqing, "The Qingxiao Tianyu robe, I got it by chance before. It suits you perfectly."

The blue robe is exquisitely designed, with a blue glow on its surface that flows like water, and it also feels as light and agile as a feather.

Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she was very pleased with it. But she knew that this robe was unusual, so she didn't dare to take it carelessly. She looked at Gao Xian eagerly.

Gao Xian laughed: "Your uncle is so kind, just accept it."

"Thank you, uncle." Qingqing was a girl after all. After receiving the gift, her face was immediately filled with smiles, and her phoenix eyes were shining. She couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

"Junior sister is thoughtful."

Gao Xian also said politely that a fourth-level robe was very valuable. The key was that Yue Shenxiu had made preparations in advance, which showed that she was quite attentive to this matter.

But this kind of thought is more valuable than a fourth-level robe.

Yue Shenxiu smiled slightly. As long as Gao Xian appreciated it, this gift was worth it.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "We are unfamiliar with this place, so I'll have to ask Junior Sister to take care of us in the future."

"Brother, you are so talented that you will surely soar to the sky in the future."

Yue Shenxiu disagreed, "Why bother about this little thing?"

"I'm just being hypocritical, haha..."

Gao Xian was just being polite. No matter how close he was to Yue Shenxiu, he still had to say the proper polite words. This was not just out of politeness, but also out of mutual respect and setting a boundary for each other.

Without boundaries, people can be more relaxed and intimate. Without boundaries, two people are different individuals, which will lead to confusion and the collapse of the relationship.

Gao Xian deeply agrees with this. No matter who he gets along with, he will always know when to stop.

Even with Qingqing, who is completely subordinate to him, Gao Xian will set the boundaries of their relationship and will not cross them.

Yue Shenxiu naturally wouldn't think so much, but she felt that getting along with Gao Xian was very easy and happy, which was something no one else could compare to.

As for dual cultivation, it is not the most important thing in a relationship.

"I will take you to the Jiuding Palace first. This palace is responsible for alchemy. I will help you register as a guest elder first."

Yue Shenxiu has a close relationship with Xuanying Zhenjun, the master of Jiuding Hall, who is mainly responsible for alchemy. Gao Xian can be a guest official there and have a lot of free time.

Most of the other palaces have complicated affairs, and even the guest officials rarely have free time. If you are not careful, you will be involved in complicated and dangerous power struggles.

Gao Xian is also the true disciple of Shenxiao of Qingyun Sect. With his identity, he cannot join Wanfeng Sect or any other sect.

Fortunately, the Wanfeng Sect is large enough and needs a large number of people to maintain the operation of the sect. The number of high-level cultivators in the sect is limited, so a large number of cultivators must be absorbed from outside to supplement.

Some outside cultivators even become hall masters and enter the power center of the sect.

Gao Xian naturally had no objection to this arrangement. He was not interested in intrigues with the people of Wanfeng Sect at the moment. He just wanted to find a place to live in peace for a few decades.

Although the Jiuding Palace is called a palace, it actually occupies 17 mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles. It is said that there are tens of thousands of furnaces and cauldrons for alchemy.

Looking from afar, you can see smoke rising from the mountains, and the wind blowing in your face has a hint of medicinal smell.

The Nine Cauldrons Hall is located at the top of Jinye Peak. In front of the hall there are nine huge bronze cauldrons several meters high, which looks quite imposing.

Gao Xian followed Yue Shenxiu through the numerous halls and came to an alchemy room at the back.

The fully enclosed alchemy room looks like a purple gourd, more than ten feet high, with a smooth outer layer like jade, and it actually looks like a whole.

"Purple Jade Gourd, a fourth-level artifact, specially used for alchemy."

Yue Shenxiu used his spiritual sense to convey the introduction to Gao Xian, with a hint of pride in his words.

Gao Xian was also somewhat envious. As expected of the Wanfeng Sect, they could even use a magical tool to refine pills. I wonder what level the Deer Horn Powder refined from this thing would be! He hadn't refined pills for decades, mainly because refining pills was too energy-consuming and time-consuming.

In his early years, he worked day and night to make money and earn money from his novels. When he became rich and could make money from his novels, he was no longer willing to make money from his novels.

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

When he saw the alchemy artifact, he was just envious but had no intention of returning to his old job.

The two waited for a while, and then a spiritual light flashed in the purple jade gourd, and a middle-aged woman in an apricot yellow Taoist robe appeared in front of them.

The middle-aged woman had an ordinary appearance, but her eyes were clear and bright, and her magical aura was as deep and broad as the sea. She was actually a Yuanying Zhenjun.

Yue Shenxiu led Gao Xian forward to pay his respects, and introduced the other party's identity to Gao Xian: Xuanying Zhenjun, the master of Jiuding Palace.

Zhenjun Xuanying looked at Gao Xian curiously. She had naturally heard of Gao Xian. Although the Tianyinglu itself was nonsense, Gao Xian was able to suppress the geniuses of various sects and was so close to Yue Shenxiu, which showed how capable this man was.

After seeing Gao Xian in person, she had to admit that he was a good-looking man, from head to toe, inside and out. His temperament was elegant and calm, and he was very charming. No wonder Yue Shenxiu liked him.

Although the Wanfeng Sect is large, its appearance, demeanor and talents are top-notch and no one can compare to them.

More importantly, Gao Xian's body and spirit were perfect, and his aura was so profound and mysterious that she couldn't even see through his true cultivation. Compared to Yue Shenxiu, his aura was obviously superior.

Xuanying Zhenjun was quite optimistic about Yue Shenxiu, and the two were relatives, so he felt that he should help Yue Shenxiu to pass the test.

After reading it, she couldn't help but nod secretly. Yue Shenxiu had a good eye. She liked the man he picked. As for Gao Xian's personality and character, there was no way to judge.

Even the Taoist Master Chunyang cannot see through people's hearts.

Xuanying Zhenjun thought Gao Xian was very good, so he immediately gave him a guest bronze medal and said some encouraging words.

Gao Xian also sighed that Master Xuanying was quite good. Although he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he did not put on airs and his words were rather polite and gentle.

After getting the bronze medal, Yue Shenxiu took Gao Xian to Jiuding Hall to register with the people there. Finally, he went to Tianshu Hall to register again.

At this point, Gao Xian's name was truly included in the Wanfeng Sect's list and he officially became a member of the Wanfeng Sect.

Even with Yue Shenxiu leading the way, there were no obstacles along the way and it still took almost a day to finish the task.

Back at Qingyun Cottage, Yue Shenxiu and Gao Xian both breathed a sigh of relief.

The cumbersome rules and procedures are part of the sect's rules. It is precisely because of their complexity that such identities are formal and legal, and have a strong effect.

Just like Yuan Bin, a Yuanying Zhenjun, no matter how suspicious he is of Gao Xian, as long as he is not crazy, he will never dare to question Gao Xian publicly.

There is no other reason. Gao Xian is a formal member of Wanfeng Sect, so it is not the turn of outsiders to make decisions. Even if Lu Xuanji came, he could not attack Gao Xian at will.

Gao Xian was also very satisfied with this. He came here to eat Yue Shenxiu's clothes just to have a stable life.

Teacher Xuanhua was right. It was impossible for the enemy to improve, but he was growing rapidly. The longer it dragged on, the better it would be for him.

If we act now, we will give up our own growth advantage.

Gao Xian had no acquaintances in Wanfeng Sect, but he had several enemies. After solving the identity problem, he took Qingqing and stayed at home.

Well, Yue Shenxiu was afraid that he would be shy about arriving here, so he stayed with him temporarily.

Two months later, news came from Qingyun Sect that Wu Pokong accompanied Yuan Bin to the sect.

Gao Xian had a memory of Wu Pokong, and Yuan Bin certainly couldn't escape either.

After that, Gao Xian stayed in Qingyun Cottage and seldom went out. He practiced sword with Qingqing every day. When Yue Shenxiu came, they practiced dual cultivation together. Their life was simple but happy.

At the end of October, when the first snow fell, Gao Xian was taking Qingqing to enjoy the snow when he heard someone knocking at the door outside.

"Is anyone there?!"

The person knocking on the door spoke in a high-pitched voice and in a very unfriendly tone...
