Chapter 84 Great Five Elements Kung Fu
"Nan Pingsong is already two hundred and seventy years old. As a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, his life span is almost coming to an end."
For Gao Xian's sake, Zhu Qinnan inquired about Nan Pingsong's situation in detail and gained some basic understanding of this elder who was passing on his skills.
She said: “Nan Pingsong cannot advance to the Golden Core stage, and in the last stage of his life, he must pave the way for his descendants.
"As far as I know, Nan Pingsong has been amassing a lot of money in recent years, and his behavior is not very good. With Zhou Ye as the middleman, we can try to buy the Great Five Elements Kung Fu with spirit stones."
Gao Xian was a little confused: "Isn't the inheritance of secret techniques the foundation of the sect? Would he dare?"
He was not worried about Nan Pingsong, but was afraid that he would be implicated. He didn't want to spend a lot of spirit stones and end up getting killed because of it.
"I don't know, but I have to try."
Zhu Qiniang certainly knew the risks involved. She said, "As far as I know, the chances of a true disciple successfully building a foundation are 20% to 30%. The chances of an ordinary casual cultivator building a foundation are only 1 in a hundred.
"This is the difference between having a secret inheritance and not having a secret inheritance."
She said sternly: "Ah Xian, you have an extraordinary talent in magic. However, the Great Five Elements Skill is a secret method that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Lianyun Sect. It is extremely subtle and profound, and cannot be compared with those low-level spells.
"If you practice a spell incorrectly, at most the power will be weak. If you practice a secret technique incorrectly, it will damage your body. In this regard, don't take any chances..."
Zhu Qinnan knew that Gao Xian was very talented and was afraid that he would become complacent and think that he could practice the Five Elements Kung Fu to an extremely high level.
The secret inheritance of the sect is so profound, gathering the wisdom of countless masters. If it is so easy for outsiders to comprehend it, then there is no qualification to establish a sect with it.
Gao Xian nodded vigorously, he agreed with this very much.
His magic is so powerful, all because he relies on Fengyue Baojian to add points to his magic. It's not that he is so smart! After more than a year of practice, his progress in secret methods and magic that can't add points is not fast.
People's states of mind always fluctuate, and even if a practitioner practices diligently every day, he may not always make progress.
It is possible that there is no result from practice, and you are just staying where you are or even regressing.
Fengyue Baojian solved this problem, allowing him to make progress every time he practiced.
There is also the Mind Temple where one can practice spells repeatedly, and with such continuous accumulation, he has surpassed countless other practitioners.
Even so, his progress was not very fast.
It can be seen that his talent for cultivation is definitely not that high. Gao Xian has a clear understanding of himself on this point.
"I'll go ask Lao Zhou now."
Gao Xian saw that it was not too late, so he immediately went out to Zhou's house.
It was so late that the Lingfu Hall in front was closed. Gao Xian went directly to the back door of Zhou's house.
If someone else came so late, Zhou Ye would definitely not let them in. But Gao Xian was different. He was an important business partner and he had to give him face.
Zhou Ye personally opened the door and welcomed Gao Xian into the main room. He also asked the maid to prepare tea and snacks, and entertained him warmly.
The old man was a smart man. He knew that Gao Xian must have something wrong when he came here so late at night, but he would never ask proactively. He just pulled Gao Xian aside and chatted with him about this and that.
"I see that you look radiant and full of energy. Have you reached the fourth level of Qi training?"
"Yes, yes, it was a lucky breakthrough." Gao Xian was very humble. He knew that the fourth level of Qi training was not something that Zhou Ye would be interested in.
After all, Zhou Yuling was one year younger than him and had already reached the seventh level of Qi training. He couldn't brag in front of Old Zhou.
Zhou Ye smiled and complimented, "You are already at the fourth level of Qi training at such a young age. You will have a good chance of building a foundation in the future."
As soon as the old man said this, Gao Xian felt happy. His father-in-law was really good at handling things. He was just thinking about how to bring up this matter, but he took the initiative to set up the ladder.
"Uncle Zhou, speaking of building the foundation, I have something to ask you for help." Gao Xian said seriously.
Zhou Ye was slightly surprised. He had known Gao Xian for a year, but this was the first time that he had begged him so formally.
He knew that this kid was cunning and not a good person. He said carefully: "Given our relationship, I will definitely try my best to help if I can."
Gao Xian knew that the old man was slippery and if he followed him and talked nonsense, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.
He said directly: "I heard that Master Zhou Shu is the elder who passed on the skills. Zhou Shu also knows that my master is good at refining pills. The Five Elements Skills he passed on to me were all obtained from the sect.
"Uncle Zhou, I want to learn the sect's Great Five Elements Kung Fu. Please help me contact the elder who teaches the Kung Fu. I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
Zhou Ye's expression became solemn. The Great Five Elements Kung Fu was an extremely important secret inheritance of the sect. Even though his master was the elder who passed on the skills, he could not teach it privately.
This is no joke. If things go wrong, not only will his master and Gao Xian be in trouble, but he might also be implicated.
"I'm afraid this won't work. The Great Five Elements Technique is so important!"
Zhou Ye shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that this matter is of great importance..."
When Gao Xian heard that the old man was going to say something fatal, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhou, please ask for me first, what is he afraid of."
He added: "Uncle Zhou, if this is accomplished, I will reward you handsomely."
Zhou Ye couldn't refuse anymore. After all, he had earned a lot of spirit stones from Gao Xian and had lived an unusually comfortable life in the past year.
It was not difficult to just go and inquire about the situation. As for whether it would work or not, his master would make the decision, and it was not his turn to give advice.
"Okay, I'll ask for you."
Coming out of Zhou's house, Gao Xian sighed softly.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhou Ye is a more realistic person who values interests. Fortunately, he is a little timid and not too treacherous, so he follows the rules when doing things.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant.
Precisely because he is timid and follows the rules, Lao Zhou is hesitant in doing things, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do this thing well.
In this regard, Zhou Ye is actually not as good as Zhou Yuling. Zhou Yuling is smart and quick-witted, and is much more reliable than the old man.
Gao Xian told Zhu Qiniang about this matter. Zhu Qiniang had no good solution and could only wait for news from Zhou Ye.
"If Nanpingsong agrees, how many spirit stones should we give?"
Zhu Qiniang pondered for a moment and said, "Such an important secret inheritance will cost at least 5,000 spirit stones."
Gao Xian casually asked, "Do you want to sell the Red Flame Sword?"
The Red Flame Sword is the flying sword given to him by the Black Snake. Over the past few months, he has been polishing it with his spiritual sense every day, and finally erased the spiritual mark left by the Black Snake and gained control of the flying sword.
The Red Flame Sword is red and transparent all over, no more than seven inches long, half an inch wide, and weighs no more than seven taels, and is as thin as paper.
The sword blade is extremely sharp and has no hilt, with sword tips on both ends, making it difficult for human hands to hold. The best way to use it is to control it with spiritual consciousness.
Gao Xian has the power of the Great Owl Divine Art, and his spiritual power is enough to control the Red Flame Sword. However, the Red Flame Sword consumes a lot of mana.
In the past, he would use up 70% to 80% of his magic power after wielding the Red Flame Sword twice within a ten-foot range.
Now that he has advanced to the fourth level of Qi training, his mana has greatly increased. Even so, controlling the Red Flame Sword still consumes too much mana.
In terms of efficiency, the Red Flame Sword is far inferior to the Ice Arrow and Flame Bomb.
Of course, the power of the flying sword is still far greater than that of ice arrows and flaming bombs.
The Red Flame Sword was extremely fast and extremely sharp. It could break any defensive spells such as the Yimu Shield or the Thick Earth Shield with one strike.
For Qigong practitioners, this amount of power is a bit too much.
However, the threat posed by the Red Flame Sword to foundation-building cultivators is very limited.
Gao Xian felt that the Scarlet Flame Sword was a bit flashy, so instead of that, he would rather exchange it for money to buy the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
Zhu Qiniang said: "Such a valuable flying sword can only be dealt with in Lianyun City. Don't worry, wait until there is news."
She added: "I heard that the Red Snake Gang has been hunting down independent cultivators in the mountains recently, and one or two hundred independent cultivators have gone missing.
"Right now, the independent cultivators are all in a panic, and no one dares to rashly enter the mountain. I heard that a large number of independent cultivators are going to find Li Shuanglin and force him to take the lead in wiping out the Red Snake Gang."
Zhu Qiniang reminded Gao Xian: "I don't know what the Red Snake Gang is up to. The Blue Frost Sword and the Red Flame Sword must not be exposed..."
