Inside the magic circle, ten cultivators who entered Zhuling Cave Heaven stood quietly, and no one spoke.

Everyone practices alone. Even the most talkative person will become silent and taciturn after twenty years of secluded practice.

If it were a mortal, they would lose their language ability if they didn't communicate with anyone for twenty years. A cultivator has a strong spiritual consciousness and a strong mind, so it takes some time for them to adjust.

For a normal cultivator, three to five years of seclusion is almost the limit. Even Yuanying Zhenjun rarely secludes himself for decades.

Gao Xian had Qingqing to chat with him every day, so he naturally had no such worries. He glanced at Yue Shenxiu, whom he hadn't seen for twenty years. Yue Shenxiu's aura was clear and calm, and it was obvious that his cultivation had made great progress.

Yue Shenxiu was also in good condition, with a calm and relaxed look, without the deep depression of twenty years of seclusion. This was also because she and Gao Xian often communicated over long distances, which helped her regulate her emotions and kept her emotional state very well.

Yue Shenxiu and Gao Xian looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

The others all had gloomy faces, and even their eyes were devoid of emotion. Jin Zhongjun, who was covered in golden armor, was already cold and gloomy, and now even his life force was restrained, and he seemed to have turned into a lifeless puppet.

Jin Yang Zhenjun who was outside the magic circle saw it clearly. These people had made great progress in their cultivation, but their conditions were not very good and they all needed to recuperate for a period of time.

Jin Yang Zhen Jun said: "Zhu Ling Cave Heaven has been closed, everyone go back and rest for a while, don't practice hard in the near future... Okay, let's disperse."

Jin Yang Zhen Jun called Gao Xian alone, "Gao Xian, stay here first, I have something to do."

The others dispersed, and Yue Shenxiu stayed with Gao Xian.

"Gao Xian, congratulations on your great progress in cultivation and advancement to the middle stage of the Golden Core."

True Lord Jinyang was so experienced that he knew Gao Xian had advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core just by looking at the change in his aura.

The three stages of Jindan are very different and easy to distinguish. On the other hand, Gao Xian doesn't want to hide his own progress.

There is no harm in letting others see that he has made great progress in his cultivation. His real trump card is the Daluo Transformation Body Clone Method, the four peerless swords, Sister Lan and the Thunder Lightning Method.

As long as he doesn't actively reveal these powers, no one can see them. Well, at least the Divine Transformation Dao Lord can't see them.

Gao Xian greeted him, "I am so lucky. It was all thanks to the care of the Grandmaster that I was given the opportunity to practice in Zhuling Cave Heaven. Thank you, Grandmaster, thank you, Master..."

Jin Yang Zhenjun knew that Gao Xian's words were just polite, but Gao Xian's polite and respectful attitude made him feel comfortable.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although this kid was ruthless, he was not a bad person. Who knows what the ancestor would do if he was made the chief of Yaoguang Hall! "I should call you Chief Gao now..."

Jin Yang Zhen Jun smiled and said, "There are many things going on in Yaoguang Palace, and Master Gao needs to go there to take over as soon as possible..."

"Master, I have been in seclusion for twenty years, so I need to adjust myself."

Gao Xian had no interest in the position of the head of Yaoguang Palace, but Yue Wanfeng personally appointed him, so he could not refuse. Naturally, he would delay this task for as long as possible.

"Retreat from the world takes its toll on the body and mind, and it really requires some adjustment."

Jin Yang Zhen Jun thought for a moment and said, "It is now the middle of July. How about I take you to Yao Guang Palace to take up your post on the first day of September?"

"Okay, thank you, sir." Gao Xian bowed to express his gratitude.

If he didn't fight for it, he would have to work as a laborer in Yaoguang Temple tomorrow. It was always good to have a month and a half to rest and adjust.

Back at Qingyun Cottage, Gao Xian and Yue Shenxiu had a thrilling battle to test each other's practice results.

After more than ten days of this, the two gradually calmed down.

I have to say that the love between lovers is indeed intoxicating, especially when the two people are of similar level and are well matched in all aspects. The joy in it is really moving.

Only at this time did Gao Xian feel that life was full of fun, and that life should be so simple and beautiful.

Unfortunately, even Jindan Zhenren can't stick together every day. In order to live longer and better, you have to do things.

"The Master of Yaoguang Palace, Mingyang Zhenjun, is a sword cultivator. To be more precise, he should be called Mingyang Jianjun. He is also the only Yuanying Jianjun in our sect. However, he is different from other sword cultivators. He has a kind and generous personality.

"Mingyang Sword Lord won't deliberately make things difficult for you, but the twelve divine generals of Yaoguang Palace will definitely make things difficult for you..."

"God General?"

"Yaoguang Hall is responsible for combat and has tens of thousands of Taoist soldiers. They select powerful Jindan Zhenren to grant them the Divine General Talisman to command the Taoist soldiers to conquer the four directions. According to custom, Yaoguang Hall is divided into twelve Divine Generals according to the Earthly Branches. The Divine General Talisman can be regarded as a powerful spiritual weapon, which is extremely wonderful..."

Yue Shenxiu didn’t know much about Yaoguang Palace. After all, she was still young and had been concentrating on cultivation.

Yaoguang Palace mainly engaged in external conquests and rarely interacted with the sect's internal practitioners. Yue Shenxiu was of a very high status, so naturally no one dared to provoke her.

For Gao Xian's sake, Yue Shenxiu specifically inquired about the situation in Yaoguang Palace.

As one of the seven halls of Beidou, Yaoguang Hall has great power and its factions are very complicated. The master of Yaoguang Hall, Mingyang Zhenjun, does not take charge of the affairs, which makes the twelve generals fight fiercely.

The first seat of Yaoguang Hall has been vacant for decades, and there has been no new first seat. Even the twelve generals are unwilling to submit to each other. Mingyang Zhenjun also likes this kind of balance.

Yue Wanfeng forced Gao Xian into the Yaoguang Palace and directly gave him the first seat, which was like throwing a ball of fire into a boiling oil pan.

Yue Shenxiu also knew that the situation was very complicated. She couldn't figure it out, let alone Gao Xian, an outsider who had just arrived.

"In short, you'd better be careful and don't force it." Yue Shenxiu sighed softly. She had an extraordinary status in the sect, but she couldn't intimidate everyone.

The power struggle in Yaoguang Palace was fierce. If you wanted others to give in, it was useless to just rely on face. You had to at least give out corresponding benefits. She felt a headache when she thought about it.

Gao Xian didn't care much, "I'm the chief, they all have to listen to me. Just follow the rules. Don't blame me for being cruel if you don't obey..."

He didn't want to offend anyone, but he couldn't be a nice guy if he sat in this position. Being a nice guy would not reduce troubles, but would bring countless troubles.

If he really gets into trouble, there's nothing to be afraid of.

After twenty years of cultivation in Zhuling Cave Heaven, he had mastered the Great Five Elements Kung Fu and the Tianji Eight-Character Mantra to the master level.

The improvement of the Great Five Elements Merit has a huge impact on all spells. The secret art of the Heavenly Eight Characters Mantra can further enhance the power of spells.

With his powerful spiritual awareness, as well as the Xuanming Divine Light, Qinghua Divine Light and Xuanhuang Divine Light, he will not be at a disadvantage against an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Wuji Tianxiang Sword Technique was even practiced to the perfect level of a grandmaster.

Zhuling Cave Heaven was full of inspiration, and his sword practice progress could be said to be rapid. With the help of Tianyuan Dan, which enhanced his physical and spiritual abilities, he was able to practice the Wuji Tianxiang Sword Technique to perfection.

At this point, his first-grade sword pill was upgraded to the middle stage of the golden pill, and he even vaguely touched the realm of the unity of body and sword.

The upgrade of the first-grade sword pill is actually more important than the Great Five Elements Golden Pill. This is because the first-grade sword pill is closely related to the White Emperor Qiankun Transformation Sword. The upgrade of the first-grade sword pill can further release the power of the White Emperor Qiankun Transformation Sword.

The blessing of the Pure Yang Jade Purity Flower's Pure Yang Light allowed him to unleash a bit of the power of the god within his sword.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not impossible for him to kill an early Nascent Soul cultivator with the Baidi Qiankun Transformation Sword!

Besides, if Yue Wanfeng used him as a gun, would other Yuanying dare to attack him? Gao Xian was very confident that as long as several Yuanyings did not join forces to besiege him, he could escape without using the Daluo Huashen Clone Technique.

What about the Twelve Gods? They have a great reputation, but they are only at the Jindan level after all. They can't do anything in his hands. He just needs to be careful, after all, he can't really kill them all at once.

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

Gao Xian felt that the most important thing at the moment was to find the Red Emperor's Lihuo Jiuyang Sword and use the White Emperor's Qiankun Transformation Sword to fuse the other four swords. At that time, not to mention how powerful the Great Five Elements Divine Light was, just how powerful would the White Emperor's Qiankun Transformation Sword be when the five swords were combined into one! During this period of time, he concentrated on practicing hard in Zhuling Cave Heaven, and Taixuan Shenxiang found a place to live in seclusion.

Gao Xian actually thought about leaving a clone in Zhuling Cave Heaven, as it was a perfect place for cultivation. But he didn't dare to take the risk.

Yue Wanfeng could open Zhuling Cave Heaven at will, and normally he could let Yue Shenxiu practice in it for one or two hundred years. But he didn't do that, which proved that Zhuling Cave Heaven was not suitable for long stay.

The power of Huashen Daojun is unfathomable, and Gao Xian is not willing to take risks for a small gain.

It would be better for Taixuan Shenxiang to concentrate on his journey.

According to the current progress, it will take at least next year to enter Yunzhou. Yunzhou is said to be larger than Mingzhou. If you want to find the Red Emperor Lihuo Jiuyang Sword in Yunzhou, it is unknown how long it will take.

In addition, you also need to help Qingqing find a natal sword.

Qingqing and he depend on each other for life and death, and she is very important to him. Of course, Qingqing can't help him now, but when Qingqing refines the sword pill, she can help him share some of the work.

With Qingqing's aptitude and the blessing of the pure Yang treasure light, it is not difficult to cultivate to the Sword Lord. The Sword Lord is not like an ordinary Nascent Soul. How majestic it would be to carry a Sword Lord with you! Gao Xian is still looking forward to it. He decided to take time to go back to Qingyun Sect and ask Yun Zaitian in person. Or he could ask Yun Qiushui.

The Taiwei Feixian Sword Scripture was inherited by the Qingyun Sect, so they would naturally prepare the corresponding training resources. Even if he spent some money, Yun Zaitian would not refuse.

In addition, he had to buy the Nine-turn Dragon Elephant Pill. As long as he had the Dragon Elephant Pill, he could quickly upgrade the Dragon Elephant Vajra Pestle. This was actually the fastest way to gain Nascent Soul power.

Wanbao Tower in Wanfeng County does not have this special elixir.

The Dragon Elephant Palace is in Haizhou, next to Yunzhou. After getting the Red Emperor's Lihuo Jiuyang Sword, he should go to Haizhou to take a look...

Gao Xian actually had a lot of things to do, and the affairs of Yaoguang Palace seemed insignificant to him. It was just that these trivial matters were not easy to handle, and there was no profit.

No matter how close he and Yue Shenxiu were, it was difficult to talk about these calculations.

Yue Shenxiu was worried, for she was afraid that Gao Xian would start a massacre and really anger Yuanying Zhenjun, and then things would be very difficult to predict.

No matter what kind of personalities those strong people who can achieve Nascent Soul are, they have stepped on countless people to reach this position, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Gao Xian comforted Yue Shenxiu and said, "You don't have to worry too much. It's not easy to do things, but it's not difficult to get by..."

Yue Shenxiu couldn't help but laugh. She nodded vigorously, thinking that it's good to live a carefree life!

In mid-August, Yue Shenxiu returned to the sect to practice, and Gao Xian also released Qingqing.

Qingqing had slept for more than a month and was just released. She couldn't help pouting. She knew her father was having a secret meeting with Yue Shenxiu and thought she was in the way, so he threw her into the Soul Condensation Ring and left her alone.

After all, little girls are easy to coax, and Gao Xian is very good at it, and he quickly made Qingqing smile.

After lying in Qingyun Cottage for half a month, Gao Xiancai went to Wanfeng Sect on the first day of September.

True Lord Jinyang had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw Gao Xian coming, he took Gao Xian directly to the Tianquan Palace.

Gao Xian had been here once before, and he was a little surprised: "True Lord, why are you here at Tianquan Palace?"

"The Grandmaster wants to see you."

"Uh, something?"

This time, Master Jinyang kept his mouth shut tightly. Gao Xian didn't know whether he didn't want to answer or was not clear about the situation.

The Tianquan Palace was still as deep and solemn as ever. Yue Wanfeng sat upright on the throne with a calm and indifferent expression, but the majesty of Huashen Daojun was permeating everywhere.

When Gao Xian was glanced at by the Taoist master, he felt cold all over, as if all his secrets were seen through.

This undisguised snooping made Gao Xian feel a little uneasy. But his face remained calm, his eyes were calm, and he bowed and greeted the Taoist master in a proper manner.

"Your method of body refining is very advanced..."

Yue Wanfeng said slowly, "I happen to have a bottle of dragon marrow from a ten-thousand-year-old iron dragon, which is a divine spiritual item for body refining. If you make some achievements in Yaoguang Palace, this bottle of dragon marrow will be given to you as a reward."

Gao Xian's eyes lit up immediately, "Grandmaster, what does it mean to achieve something? Is there any particular way to explain it?"

Yue Wanfeng's lips curled up slightly to reveal a smile. No wonder others say Gao Xian is greedy and lustful. It's absolutely true...
