Chapter 659: Sky-high Price
Lifespan: 380/5000 years
Cultivation: Nascent Soul Level 10
Positive and Negative Five Elements Hunyuan Sutra: Grandmaster Realm Five Qi Wheel: Master Realm…
Gao Xian was also very emotional when he looked at the data on Fengyue Baojian. He was almost 400 years old without realizing it!
This life span is equivalent to four lifetimes of a long-lived mortal. For him, he has only completed one-third of his life. According to the proportion, he is still a child!
The Five Qi Wheel was upgraded to the master level, which increased his lifespan by another thousand years. This number was quite impressive, and Gao Xian was very satisfied with it.
If he had only reached the threshold of the Spiritual Transformation before, at this point, he had truly reached the Spiritual Transformation realm with the help of the body refining technique.
Generally speaking, the strong body cultivators follow the path of unity of body and spirit, and are obviously inferior to the cultivators of the same level in terms of spiritual awareness. Therefore, the strength of the strong body cultivators lies in their strong physical bodies, but they are far behind in terms of spell transformation.
However, he was able to continuously strengthen his spiritual consciousness through the Taishi God Puppet, and with Sister Lan in charge, he could be seen as two powerful gods superimposed on each other in terms of spiritual consciousness. In this way, he could make up for his shortcomings in body refining.
It has been more than ten years since it came out, and all the black lotus seeds have been used up, leaving only one black lotus spirit crystal.
This spiritual crystal contained powerful and pure five-element spiritual energy, and there was also a pure and extremely spiritual consciousness in it. Gao Xian tried many times in the Taishi Temple, but all kinds of magic power could not bring out the spiritual energy in the spiritual crystal.
He felt that his cultivation was not enough, or the guidance method was wrong.
Calculating the time, there are only twenty years left until the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly. He needs to go back to the sect to make some preparations, as his main body is not suitable to stay here any longer.
It can be said that this place is indeed suitable for practicing the Five Elements Kung Fu, but the Five Elements' essence and Qi are too strong, which in turn will continuously assimilate the body and spirit. For practitioners, it is not a good thing to stay here for too long.
The Wuqi Cave Heaven has strict restrictions, and opening the restrictions will cause a huge commotion. In order to facilitate entry and exit, Gao Xian decided to let Taixuan Shenxiang temporarily stay in Wuqi Cave Heaven.
Wuqi Cave Heaven is actually very dangerous, but fortunately the area has been cleaned up. It will take at least hundreds or thousands of years to nurture powerful evil creatures again.
The Xuehe Tianzun Huayuan Book practiced by Taixuan Shenxiang is not compatible with the Five Elements Essence. However, through this powerful artifact, he can easily transform the Five Elements Essence for his own use.
On the other hand, there were many fifth-level monsters and evil creatures here. Killing more monsters and evil creatures to absorb their blood would be of great benefit to Xuehe Tianzun's Yuanshu.
Gao Xian and Taixuan Shen exchanged positions, and he came to the top of Xuandu Mountain, while Taixuan Shen entered the Wuqi Cave Heaven.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Gao Xian looked at Qingyun City from afar. It was still so chaotic, dirty, and disgusting.
The Five Qi Wheel had reached the master level, making his six senses extremely sharp.
Although the Flower-Appraising Mirror has not been upgraded, his powerful sixth sense can obtain more information from it, which in disguise improves the Flower-Appraising Mirror.
With the Flower-Appraising Mirror turned on, he could see everything within a radius of 4,000 miles with him as the center, no matter how big or small. His terrifying perception ability allowed him to easily kill cultivators from a distance.
Within two thousand miles, the mana he released was enough to kill a foundation-building cultivator. Within a thousand miles, it was no problem for him to kill an ordinary golden elixir cultivator.
Gao Xian felt that he was very strong now, terrifyingly strong! Well, at the Nascent Soul level!
If he were to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he should be able to compete with Lu Xuanji and Yuan Tianyi. However, he still had a huge gap in experience and knowledge compared to the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
These powerful gods have lived for at least three to four thousand years, which is more than ten times his lifespan. These thousands of years were not in vain, but accumulated a deep foundation.
With the same level of power, these Taoist masters have a deeper and more thorough grasp of it, and their combat strategies are more sophisticated and subtle.
Just like Lian'er, even if the two Daojuns didn't join forces, they could easily take care of her. If it were him, he would have to fight Lian'er head-on. This was the real gap between him and Daojun.
If Gao Xian wanted to kill a powerful spirit-transforming expert of the same level, he felt that he would need at least an overwhelming advantage to do so.
Although he had the power of the Spiritualization level, it was not enough to fight against the Spiritualization. When he came back from the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, got the Yuanling Earth Embryo Stone, and condensed the second Yuanshen, it would not be too late to study these.
Gao Xian quietly left Xuandu Mountain and flew tens of thousands of miles before activating the Great Qiankun Shifting Talisman to return to Xuanming Sect.
In Yaoguang Palace, Gao Xian saw Qiniang working in the office.
After not seeing her for more than ten years, Qi Niang's complexion has become better and better. Her physical condition has become younger and younger, but her eyes are calm and composed. She truly has the power of a high-level Yuanying Zhenjun.
Managing such a large Yaoguang Palace also made Qi Niang more confident. In addition, her Nascent Soul foundation was already stable, so her condition was getting better and better.
Qi Niang also felt that Gao Xian had changed a lot, not in appearance, but in his youth. Gao Xian was almost four hundred years old, but he looked as sharp as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but without the immaturity and clumsiness of a boy.
The sound is solemn and clear, and it makes people happy no matter how they look at it.
"Ah Xian..." Qinnan knew that Gao Xian must have made great progress in his cultivation. She was very happy for Gao Xian and a hint of joy could not help but appear between her eyebrows.
"Qiniang." Gao Xian was also very happy to see Qiniang again. He went over, hugged Qiniang and kissed her.
Holding the tall and slender Qi Niang, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel a little interested. When Qi Niang saw Gao Xian's fiery eyes, she hurriedly said, "Don't be here."
This is Yaoguang Palace, and there are countless people coming here every day to do business. This is not a place for fooling around.
Gao Xian thought so too. After all, Qi Niang was the deacon elder, taking over the Yaoguang Palace on his behalf. If he acted too recklessly, it would greatly affect Qi Niang's image and her authority.
"I'll wait for you in the evening."
Gao Xian spoke a few words to Qiniang and then returned to Jingxing Palace alone.
When he was away, Qingqing helped him manage Jingxing Palace. Qingqing was also very excited and happy to see Gao Xian come back. She pulled Gao Xian's sleeve and begged, "Dad, take me with you when you go out. I'm already a Yuanying, and I can always help..."
Qingqing didn't like staying in Yaoguang Palace to handle official business, which made her feel very confused. She preferred to draw her sword and fight directly, and didn't like these tedious and complicated affairs.
"Has anyone come over while I've been away?" Gao Xian ignored Qingqing's acting coquettish. What he was doing now was very dangerous, and bringing Qingqing along wouldn't be of much help, but would be a burden instead.
"Taichu came three times, Taining came twice. The Palace Master also sent someone to ask once." Qingqing counted on her fingers and suddenly said, "Dad, I think Taichu is better."
"Um?"
Gao Xian didn't understand why Qingqing suddenly mentioned this.
Qingqing felt a little guilty when Gao Xian looked at her. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Taining, Uncle Master is a little too shrewd. Taichu has a simple and pure personality, good swordsmanship, and is even more beautiful..."
"Children should stay out of the adult business."
Gao Xian knocked Qingqing on the forehead. Why did this kid not practice sword skills properly but think about palace fighting? He practiced with these women and each got what he needed. There was no question of who was better.
He also didn't want to choose a Taoist partner.
If you choose, there will only be one Taoist partner. If you don't choose, any beauty in the world can be your Taoist partner! Taichuren is simple, but he is a sword fanatic. It's not bad to sit and talk about swords, but it's a bit boring to be friends. The only advantage is that he is good-looking, but the longer you get along, the advantage of high appearance will gradually disappear.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
People have a very strong ability to adapt. No matter how good-looking someone is, after seeing them for decades, we will get used to them and won’t feel anything special about them.
It's like most people can see the tip of their nose, but they have long learned to ignore it. This is the power of habit.
Qingqing was scolded, her face looked bitter and she felt aggrieved. She was doing it for her father's good, but who would have thought that her father would not appreciate it.
"Let me see how your sword skills are going. You still have time to think about it every day..."
Gao Xian led Qingqing's Nascent Soul consciousness into the Taishi Palace and personally exchanged a few moves with Qingqing.
With his current strength and swordsmanship, he could really kill Qingqing instantly. After all, she was his own child, so he couldn't bear to teach Qingqing a lesson like this. Moreover, sword cultivators valued sharpness the most, and too great a setback would also affect Qingqing's state of mind.
After practicing for more than a dozen moves, Gao Xian found that Qingqing had made a lot of progress. When she used the sword technique, she had become somewhat ethereal and graceful. Her cultivation was also becoming more and more refined.
But the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger.
The Five Qi Wheel has reached the master level, and he has truly reached the level of transformation in terms of mana control. From his perspective, Qingqing's swordsmanship has too many flaws.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with Qingqing’s training; the root cause is that her strength is too weak.
Gao Xian patiently pointed out some problems in Qingqing's swordsmanship. Qingqing was a strong-willed person, and when she discovered that there were so many problems in her swordsmanship, she felt ashamed and sad.
He didn't want to talk to Gao Xian anymore and went into seclusion to practice swordplay with tears in his eyes.
At night, Qi Niang quietly came to Jingxing Palace. Gao Xian had not been close to women for more than ten years, and Qi Niang was a body cultivator, so a fierce battle was inevitable, and the diamond-like Qi Niang was beaten to a pulp with weak bones and muscles...
Gao Xian rested in Jingxing Palace for more than a month, and his body and mind were completely relaxed, sweeping away the fatigue and tension accumulated over more than ten years.
After adjusting his state, Gao Xiancai went to Yumei Peak under the bright moonlight.
Under the moonlight, Yumei Peak is covered with white plum trees as white as snow, with a faint fragrance. Several small buildings are half hidden and half visible in the plum forest. A small stream runs through the forest, carrying moonlight, white plum blossoms and small buildings to flow down.
Gao Xian walked slowly in the forest and felt that everything here was elegant and leisurely, like a fairyland. In comparison, the filthy Qingyun City was like hell.
Tai Ning's cultivation was very pure, and Gao Xian did not try to restrain his aura. When he arrived in front of the small building, Tai Ning was already waiting barefoot at the door.
Under the moonlight, Gao Xian's temperament is clearer than the bright moon in the sky, and his white clothes are brighter than snow-white plum blossoms. There is a casual smile between his eyebrows, and his elegance is more elegant than the mountain breeze and flowing water in the forest.
Tai Ning couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she called softly: "Senior Brother."
"Junior sister, I haven't seen you for ten years. You have become more beautiful and brighter..."
Gao Xian went over, took Tai Ning's hand, and led Tai Ning into the bedroom skillfully.
They were all old friends, very familiar with each other in every aspect, and everything was so harmonious. The joy of double cultivation was like that of a god...
It was not until noon the next day that the two of them lazily got up.
Gao Xian put his arm around Tai Ning's shoulders and said, "Junior sister, the Taixu Huanmeng Daoyi is still in Wanbao Tower, right?"
Tai Ning looked sideways at Gao Xian with some surprise: "Brother, do you want to buy this artifact?"
"Yes, I am now short of a protective robe. The Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly will be held in twenty years. I boasted to the Taoist Master that I would win the title of Dousheng Zhenjun, so I have to make some preparations."
"We really need to be more prepared. There are so many geniuses in Jiuzhou, so we can't be careless..."
Tai Ning agreed with this. Although Gao Xian was extremely powerful in Xuanming Sect, he was actually nothing compared to Jiuzhou.
She said, "I don't know about Wanbao Tower. I'll go ask Fan Qingyuan."
Tai Ning went to find Fan Qingyuan that day. When she came back in the evening, she found Gao Xian. She said with a complicated look, "Fan Qingyuan said he wanted 100,000 top-grade spirit stones..."
