Chapter 643: Windfall Taichu

had long wanted to find Gao Xian, but Gao Xian took over as the master of Yaoguang Palace, and she knew there were countless tedious matters involved.

After waiting for more than a month, Taichu came to visit him after hearing that Gao Xian had become a hands-off boss and went to Jingxing Palace.

"Please take a seat, fellow Taoist."

Gao Xian asked Taichu to sit down and poured a cup of tea for this cool beauty. "It's a nice autumn day. Let's have some tea first."

Taichu could tell that this was a top-grade spiritual tea. It was soaked just right, and the spiritual energy was stimulated. The tea fragrance was subtle and long-lasting, but not too strong to overpower the nose and tongue.

She nodded slightly but did not drink the tea. This was a habit she had developed since childhood, never touching other people's things. No matter what kind of elixir, spiritual object, or magic weapon, it was of no benefit to her, but it would easily bring her trouble.

"By the way, congratulations to fellow Daoist on his promotion to the Lord of Yaoguang Palace." Taichu didn't like boring courtesies, but that didn't mean he didn't know etiquette.

When someone comes to seek advice from a great master, I should always say a few words of congratulations.

"I am ashamed to say that I am not talented in handling affairs. But since the Dao Master has issued an order, I can only do my best."

Gao Xian is not being modest at all. He has no interest in the position of Master of Yaoguang Palace.

There are more than ten Yuanying Zhenjuns in Yaoguang Palace, and they are in charge of hundreds of thousands of cultivators. They are mainly responsible for external patrols. So if there is a problem in Cangjian Cave, they will be sent there. This is actually the responsibility of Yaoguang Palace.

This is similar to the Yaoguang Hall in Wanfeng County. To be precise, the organizational structure of Wanfeng Sect is learned from Xuanming Sect.

Yaoguang Palace is mainly responsible for combat functions, and the affairs are numerous and dangerous. Of course, the treatment is relatively more generous. As the Palace Master, he can earn five top-grade spirit stones every month just by lying down. With some bonuses at the end of the year, he can earn about 100 top-grade spirit stones a year. He also holds great power and can make money in all aspects. If he wants, it is no problem for him to make two or three hundred top-grade spirit stones a year.

For Yuanying Zhenjun, this is already extremely generous. Not to mention that as a palace master, there are various hidden benefits, such as the redistribution of various resources.

Shui Mingxia and Qingqing both gained huge benefits from it. It is no exaggeration to say that Yonghe and Yongzhen all rose to fame by following him.

Gao Xian, however, thought it was meaningless. He still had more than 200,000 top-grade spirit stones, various top-grade spiritual objects and artifacts, etc., which would make him a wealthy man at the level of a Taoist master.

Being the palace master, he had great power, but also great responsibility. For him, it was better to be idle and comfortable.

Don’t talk about deep things with people you just met.

Since Gao Xian wasn't that familiar with Taichu, he naturally didn't say much. After a few polite words, he got to the point: Kendo.

"The sword is controlled by the mind, and the sword is controlled by the spirit. All the laws and changes of the sword are within the mind..."

Taichu said a few words about her experience in flying the sword. She looked at Gao Xian with her cold and pure eyes and said, "I saw that you didn't fly the sword like this, didn't you?"

“I am practicing.”

Gao Xian shook his head slightly: "My sword training is very orderly and methodical. My mind is mysterious and hard to predict. It cannot be used as the foundation for sword training."

He did not emphasize sudden enlightenment when practicing swordsmanship, nor did he have any mysterious requirements such as character. Of course, understanding is necessary, and a flash of inspiration is also needed, but these are not the fundamentals.

Starting with the Qingfeng Sword Technique, he practiced sword skills step by step.

Thanks to the blessing of Fengyue Baojian, he practiced sword very smoothly in the beginning, from Qingfeng Sword Technique to Fengyun Sword Sutra, and then to Wuji Tianxiang Sword.

It was not until the last step that he encountered difficulties. He learned many sword techniques through the Order of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, and relied on his accumulated sword techniques to perfect the Wuji Tianxiang Sword Sutra.

Taichu's way of practicing swordsmanship is obviously based on the mind and nature, which is completely different from his own.

"Swordsmanship can be improved step by step. The way of swordsmanship is so profound and mysterious that it cannot be described."

At the beginning of Taichu cultivation, one must also practice, but when one reaches the Sword Lord realm, in addition to daily practice, the most important thing is the mind's understanding of the way of the sword.

"If I can't explain it clearly, I still can't fully grasp it."

Gao Xian doesn't like the mysterious mind flow, and he still thinks it's safer to practice it. If you can't comprehend this kind of mind flow, you won't be able to make progress in your lifetime, that's too ridiculous...

Taichu was naturally not convinced by this and argued with Gao Xian for a long time. She had a solid foundation, and had been taught swordsmanship by a powerful master since she was a child. In terms of her profound knowledge, she was actually better than Gao Xian.

Gao Xian did learn a lot about swordsmanship and sword techniques. However, Taichu's biggest problem was that he couldn't beat Gao Xian.

No matter how brilliant the sword theory and sword art are, they are just empty talk on paper. Gao Xian has mastered the various sword techniques inherited from the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Order, and his sword techniques can be said to be extensive.

When communicating with Taichu, he can also hold his own with his broad knowledge.

Although Taichu disagreed with Gao Xian, she was willing to have in-depth discussions with him. In the art of swordsmanship, it all comes down to whose sword is stronger. Gao Xian was better than her, so that was worth learning from.

The sun rises and sets; clouds gather and disperse.

Under the purple osmanthus tree, Gao Xian and Tai Chu sat and discussed swordplay. Although they had different approaches, they complemented each other.

After discussing swordplay for several days, Taichu developed a deeper respect for Gao Xian.

The reason she was defeated by Gao Xian's sword was that her cultivation was not good enough. However, during the sword fight, it could be seen that Gao Xian was extremely wise, knowledgeable, and had his own unique and profound understanding of the way of the sword.

With such a foundation, Gao Xian has a bright future...

Taichu has lived for five hundred years, with the sword in her heart. She has no friends or relatives, and only respects and loves her teacher. For the first time, she feels that someone is like her.

However, she did not have any romantic feelings for Gao Xian, she just thought that Gao Xian was a man of great insight and she could talk to him. This was the first time in five hundred years that she had talked so much with a person.

Even before she left, Taichu still felt that she was not satisfied, but she understood one thing: no matter whether she was doing things or using a sword, she must not use up all her strength.

After seeing Taichu off, Gao Xian fell into deep thought.

He admired Taichu's beauty and pure character. Taichu's coldness was actually his purity towards the sword, so he seemed indifferent and cold to other people and things.

In this respect, Taichu and Yun Qingxuan are very similar.

The difference is that Yun Qingxuan's mind is deeper, while Taichu's is purer. It is also this difference that makes Yun Qingxuan able to take charge, while Taichu can only be a pure sword cultivator.

The sword fight with Taichu was also quite rewarding. She was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and her personality was actually very pure, very easy to get along with, and she didn't have any calculations.

On the other hand, Taichu has a very deep foundation in the sect. He should be highly valued by Daozun. Having such a friend will be of great benefit to him in gaining a foothold in Xuanming Sect.

Taining is actually not bad, but it is obviously inferior to Taichu.

Just as Gao Xian was thinking about it, he saw Tai Ning walking in from outside. Tai Ning walked around him twice and looked Gao Xian up and down.

"You and Taichu are getting along very well?!" Taining felt a little jealous and a little aggrieved. She had been watching Gaoxian and Taichu talking to each other outside for a whole day. They seemed very close and casual, which made her feel jealous.

"Taichu is here just to discuss swordplay. No matter how speculative you are, it can't compare to our close relationship..."

Gao Xian put his arm around Tai Ning's shoulders and led her to the bedroom. Tai Ning was still a little reluctant. She muttered, "You just want to practice dual cultivation with me!"

"We are the best in the world. How can other women compare to you? Be good..."

Gao Xian knew that Tai Ning was willing, but was just a little too proud to do it, so it was enough for him to just give the other party a small way out.

As expected, Tai Ning's anger turned into joy. She grabbed Gao Xian's hand and asked seriously, "Are we really the best in the world?"

"How can I lie to you..." Gao Xian hugged Tai Ning and rolled over together, and there was no need to say anything else...

Taining stayed at Gaoxian's place for more than half a month for the demonstration. When Taichu came again, she saw Taining coming out with Gaoxian, but she didn't care.

The name of Master Gao Xian Feng Yue had long been known, and the sect's top leaders also knew that he had a close relationship with Tai Ning.

Taichu knew all this, but she didn't care. This had nothing to do with swordsmanship. She said something polite to Taining, and then went to ask Gaoxian for advice on swordsmanship.

Seeing Taichu not caring at all, Taining breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little angry. Was this woman pretending to be stupid? She sat next to him and refused to leave, staying with him for two days.

She was actually very accomplished in swordsmanship, but she could hardly understand what Gao Xian and Taichu were discussing. Fortunately, Taichu seemed to be a sword fanatic, and there was no relationship between him and Gao Xian.

This also made Tai Ning feel relieved. On the other hand, she unconsciously treated Gao Xian better and cooperated more in various aspects.

Gao Xian actually enjoyed this, and it satisfied both his mind and body, and he was happier than a god...

On the other hand, Taixuan Divine Prime also came to Wuyou City.

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

The so-called Worry-Free City is actually a main city under the jurisdiction of the Little Leiyin Temple. The scale of Worry-Free City is naturally far smaller than Xuanming City, but it is larger than Wanfeng City, and there are more cultivators gathered there.

Wuyou City has a good name, but the city management is a bit chaotic, and most places are very messy. Only the central area is dedicated to business and has a few long streets, which are relatively clean.

Taixuan Shenxiang rented a small courtyard here and lived there for almost two months. He basically understood the situation of Wuyou City.

Xiao Leiyin Temple is on Longshu Mountain a hundred miles away. Gao Xian has been there twice. With the Tai Chi Xuanguan Wuxiang Divine Robe, he can enter and exit the Xiao Leiyin Temple freely.

Gao Xian did not see the dragon seal, but he could faintly sense that the aura of the dragon seal was hidden deep in Longshu Mountain, and not in the Xiao Leiyin Temple.

He didn't want to provoke Long Yin, he just wanted to check the situation in advance to prevent the old man from suddenly coming over to cause trouble for him.

A place like Wuyou City is definitely a big pit for outsiders. Only those cultivators with status and organization can get enough respect. No one will care about a casual cultivator.

Even if he revealed his identity as a True Lord of the Nascent Soul, others might not be afraid. Instead, it might arouse their greed.

This is not only true for Wuyou City, but for most big cities as well.

Gao Xian put on the black Xuanming Yinlong robe again that day, simply changed his appearance and came to Lingbao Tower.

Lingbao Building is just like Wanbao Building, both of which are shops opened by Wuliang Sect, the main sect of Yuanzhou. Gao Xian went to ask about the Yuanling Earth Embryo some time ago, and the shopkeeper asked him to wait a few days before coming back.

When the waiter at Lingbaolou saw Gao Xian coming in, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him: "Master Dao, please come upstairs. My boss said that when you come, you can go directly to the fourth floor..."

Gao Xian said nothing and followed the waiter who was leading the way diligently to a quiet room on the fourth floor.

The quiet room is decorated simply and cleanly. In the corner of the wall stands a three-legged incense burner with a beast head, from which wafts of incense.

The aroma is like the fresh breath of grass and trees, which makes people relax naturally, and even the noise outside the window becomes ethereal and distant...

Such high-grade incense made Gao Xian a little disgusted. This kind of fragrance not only stained his clothes, but even infected his magic power and consciousness.

It's not poisonous, but it leaves a scent mark, which is very convenient for tracking enemies.

It was the same last time in Yunzhou. It was very difficult for a casual cultivator to buy or sell valuable items.

"Fellow Daoist has come, but I was unable to greet you from afar. Please forgive me for my sin..."

The shopkeeper walked in gracefully, and she greeted him with a sweet smile: "Daoyou, please take a seat."

The shopkeeper was wearing a plump figure, with her hair in a bun and a golden hairpin inserted diagonally. Her purple-red robe was very fitted, outlining her figure. She swayed with every step she took, which was very charming.

Every time Gao Xian saw the shopkeeper Quan, he felt as if he had arrived at a brothel.

He nodded and said, "Manager Quan, how is the matter I asked you to do going?"

Shopkeeper Quan's narrow and bright eyes turned, full of rich and charming charm. She smiled and said, "Of course I will do my best for Daoyou's affairs."

She paused and said, "The Yuanling Earth Embryo Stone is actually a fifth-grade top-grade divine object. This is the first time I've heard of it..."

That day, the Taoist in black said he wanted to buy the Yuanling Earth Tail. She didn't know what it was, so she went to look it up, only to find out how precious it was.

This also made her a little greedy. The black-clothed Taoist wanted to buy the Yuanling Earth Embryo Stone, so he must be wealthy. Judging from his appearance, he should be a casual cultivator.

If he really came from a big sect, there would be no reason for him to go to someone else's territory to buy such a precious artifact. Even if there was a special reason, such a person going to Wuyou City would cause a stir.

Quan Huizhen smiled even more charmingly when she thought of this: "Daoyou, for such a valuable divine object, you must pay half of the deposit first."

"You really have the Yuanling Earth Embryo Stone?"

Gao Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "How can I give half of the deposit without seeing the goods? That doesn't make sense."

"That can't be helped."

Quan Huizhen sighed and said, "If you don't have the deposit, you will have to go to Wuliang City by yourself."

"How much is the Yuanling Earth Tail Stone worth?" Gao Xian asked.

"If you sincerely want it, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones."

Jeon Hye-jin said, "This is already the lowest price, no bargaining."

“It’s too expensive.”

Gao Xian shook his head: "I can't afford this."

He came here just to inquire about the situation. If Wuliang City really had the Yuanling Earth Stone, it would be worth the trip. However, what this woman said might not be true. He couldn't see what Quan Huizhen was thinking, but he could sense that something was wrong with her mood changes.

"If you have any other needs, just tell us. We have everything in Lingbao Tower..." Quan Huizhen started selling with all her might.

Gao Xian didn't waste any time talking to her. He bowed and left Lingbao Tower.

After Gao Xian left, Quan Huizhen took out a magic talisman from her sleeve and sent it out. How could she let him get away with this windfall that was delivered to her doorstep...

In a secret room deep in Longshu Mountain, the old monk Long Yin suddenly opened his eyes, and the dark secret room was illuminated by the golden light shining in his eyes.

In the golden light, there seemed to be dragons flying and elephants dancing, and the scene was extraordinary...
