Chapter 91: With Ease

Gao Xian sheathed his sword gracefully, and the swirling red sword light flew straight into the sword case in his sleeve like a bird returning to its nest.

Throughout the whole process, he kept his eyes level and his body upright, showing a relaxed and unrestrained attitude.

Gao Xian did not dare to be careless during the battle, and after the battle he finally had the mind to show an elegant posture.

Well, it is said that elegance never goes out of style! What does elegance mean? It means to have enough energy and be calm and unhurried.

Looking around again, the twelve cultivators who were killed by the flying swords were staggering and falling to the ground.

Under the big tree, all the bandits were killed and their corpses were scattered all over the ground.

It took only three breaths to kill all twenty-two cultivators. It was just as he had calculated, without a single mistake.

For some reason, Gao Xian suddenly thought of his panic when he killed Lao Wang, his uneasiness when he killed Zhu Changsheng, his helplessness and melancholy when he killed Yao Qingshuang and others, his calmness when he killed the Tielin Demon Tiger, and his determination and bravery when he killed the Black Snake people.

Today, he was calm as water when he raised his sword to kill the enemy. He analyzed and calculated with the most calm and rational mind. He made almost no mistakes in this battle and was able to easily win.

Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes, and Gao Xian saw his own mental journey and his own growth.

Gao Xian felt very relieved about this. In more than a year, he adapted to the new environment and new identity.

Tonight's battle was truly exhilarating!

Thinking of this, Gao Xian felt very happy.

The old ghost squatting on a short tree and keeping watch only now saw Gao Xian's appearance clearly.

However, the strong red halo in the depths of his eyes had not yet dissipated. Gao Xian was covered with two layers of flowing transparent water light, and his face was covered with a mysterious clear light.

Lao Gui couldn't see Gao Xian's appearance clearly, he could only vaguely see that he was a man in black.

The opponent's appearance is not important. What is important is that the opponent's sword is extremely sharp and swift, like thunder and wind, sweeping away many cultivators in an instant.

But this man's sword is fast but not hasty, strong but not violent, and his movements and changes are orderly.

As a bystander, Lao Gui could see that the other party was calm and confident that he was in control of everything.

The unique grace and demeanor of a strong man is truly unforgettable.

"Foundation Building, he must be a great foundation building cultivator, to be able to use the sword so skillfully, to be able to kill so many people like chopping melons and vegetables..."

The old ghost was extremely cunning. He saw how powerful the opponent was, so he slid down from the tree without hesitation and jumped into the bushes nearby like a big rat.

The other cultivator sitting next to him was much more dull. He was still staring blankly at Gao Xian and the corpses lying on the ground under the tree.

It happened so fast and so tragically that the man was completely terrified.

When this man was hesitating and panicking, he saw the man in black raised his hand and pointed, and a cold light was imprinted in his eyes.

"Ah!" Before the man could even scream, the icicle pierced his forehead and he died on the spot. He lost control of his body and fell from the tree.

Gao Xian knew that one person had escaped, but he had just killed so many people and he needed to recover. The two sides were far away from each other, so it would be too late if he took action again.

It's just an insignificant fish, it doesn't matter if it runs away...

Gao Xian didn't care too much about this. The most urgent thing was to pack up the spoils and leave this place as soon as possible.

Of the twenty-three cultivators, the richest one was of course the White Snake. His robes and swords looked valuable. The green footsteps also looked unusual.

Gao Xian searched around and found four storage bags, more than 400 spirit stones, and various low-level magical instruments and talismans. It can be said that most of these cultivators are quite poor.

Gao Xian has two storage bags, one containing three pieces and one containing five pieces, which were given to him by Yao Qingshuang and Heishe.

Among them, three storage bags are placed inside the lining of the green wood armor, mainly used to store spirit stones and some important personal items.

The five-sided storage bag is placed outside, mainly for storing various sundries.

Although the harvest this time was huge, there wasn't actually much when piled together, so Gao Xian put them all into the five-sided storage bag.

After checking that nothing was missed, Gao Xiancai used his scent technique and shadowless clothes to follow the scent left by the old ghost.

After chasing for a while, Gao Xian found that the old ghost had dived into the mountains and it was unknown how far he had run.

After thinking about it, Gao Xian gave up. He was just a sentry, not important. There was no way the other party would recognize his true face.

Gao Xian didn't knock on the door when he got home, but just climbed over the wall.

Daniu's cultivation was too low, so he was unaware of it. But Zhu Qiniang heard the noise and opened the door to welcome him out.

Gao Xian took the Shadowless Clothes and smiled at Qi Niang: "I've made a fortune, haha..."

Zhu Qiniang became nervous instead: "Did you fight with someone?"

"Yeah, I killed a few Red Snake Gang thugs. It was like chopping melons and vegetables."

Gao Xian pulled Zhu Qiniang into the room. He threw all the magical instruments and talismans he had collected onto the table, making it pile up.

"so much?"

Zhu Qiniang was really surprised. This was much more than their last harvest. She asked, "How many did you kill?"

"Twenty-three." Gao Xian gave the exact number.

"You..."

Zhu Qinnan was not excited, but instead had a sullen face and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She was actually quite angry. Gao Xian dared to take action on his own against twenty-three cultivators. He was too confident, even arrogant.

In the past, Gao Xian was very cautious and even a little weak. She had been trying her best to correct Gao Xian's fault, but she didn't expect Gao Xian to go to another extreme! Zhu Qiniang actually wanted to scold Gao Xian, but then she thought it was inappropriate. Although they had a close relationship, she couldn't say that to Gao Xian directly, it would hurt his feelings.

Even if it's for Gao Xian's own good, you can't be so direct.

After Zhu Qinniang's body was transformed, she became more direct in dealing with people, but Gao Xian was different.

She suppressed her anger and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Xian, this is too risky... We only have one life, and it's not against you, you don't have to fight like this!"

"Yes, yes, I was a little impulsive at the time, and Qi Niang was right."

Gao Xian smiled apologetically and nodded. He knew that this time it was a bit risky. Zhu Qinnan reacted so strongly mainly because she was concerned about him and worried that something might happen to him. It was all for his own good.

What else can I say? I can only learn from you.

Zhu Qiniang said softly, "I'm not teaching you a lesson. I'm just afraid that something might happen to you. With your current sword skills and magic, there are very few Qigong practitioners who can match you. But it's still too risky for you to fight against so many alone.

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

"The Red Snake Gang has other sects behind it to support it. What if we encounter a foundation-building cultivator? What should we do then?"

Zhu Qiniang sighed as she spoke: "Foundation-building monsters are different from foundation-building masters. The difference between the two is huge. Ah Xian, no matter how high your magic and swordsmanship are, you can never compare to a foundation-building master.

"If I really encounter a Foundation Establishment Master, I will definitely stay as far away from him as possible..."

Gao Xian really didn't understand the foundation-building cultivators. Seeing Zhu Qiniang speak so seriously, he became more serious. "Qiniang, I'm not arrogant. It's just that things have come to this point, and I have no choice but to take action..."

He explained the whole story, and Zhu Qinnan still felt that there was no need to take such a risk, but she also had to admit that Gao Xian was indeed decisive.

In terms of results, this was an exceptionally good job. It not only saved the Zhou family, but also prevented Pegasus from rioting.

Although a small pawn escaped, Gao Xian's identity was not exposed. That was enough.

Zhu Qiniang didn't want to say these spoiling words anymore. She picked up the white robe from the table and looked at it carefully for a while: "It's a first-level top-grade robe. It contains a sharp golden scale sword. It can be transformed into a sword and shield all over the body, and it can also be transformed into thousands of scale swords to kill the enemy. It's a good thing. It costs at least 1,500 spirit stones."

She picked up the White Snake sword again, and after she pulled out the blade, a cold light flashed out, and Gao Xian, who was watching, felt a chill in his brows.

"Such pure sharp gold power. This sword should be made of platinum, and may also be fused with a little Gengjin essence. It is a first-class top grade, worth more than a thousand spirit stones."

Zhu Qiniang said to Gao Xian: "This sword is one grade higher than the Qingshuang Sword. You can keep it for your own use. This scale sword robe is also very good. Keep it as a backup..."

Swords and robes will continue to wear out, so wealthy practitioners will keep two sets as spares.

Gao Xian nodded. He had no shortage of spirit stones now, so there was no need to rush to cash them out.

The swords and robes left by the White Snake are all top-quality items, and they are hard to buy even if you have money. It's good to keep them as a backup.

However, he did not agree with Qi Niang's evaluation of the Qing Shuang Sword. He felt that the Qing Shuang Sword contained miraculous power that could not be compared with other top-grade swords.

The best of the remaining magic weapons is the Green Lotus Belt. Zhu Qinnan couldn’t tell its origin, but she saw that the magic array of the Green Lotus Belt was quite exquisite, and it also had its own storage space.

Gao Xian felt that the Green Lotus Belt was very similar to his Green Lotus Crown. The lotus patterns were similar, and the aura and charm contained within were also similar.

Unable to figure it out for the moment, he put away the Qinglian belt first.

Finally, Gao Xian forcibly wiped off the spiritual imprints on the four storage bags, and after opening them, he harvested 930 spiritual stones, of which the white snake alone contributed more than 500 spiritual stones.

In addition, there are some magical weapons and elixirs, as well as secret records of magic spells for basic cultivation.

Gao Xian flipped through it and found it was filled with secret words, and it was so confusing that he couldn't tell what was written on it.

Zhu Qiniang reminded: "When individuals carry scrolls of secret techniques, they are usually recorded in special secret language. It is difficult for people who are not from this sect to accurately interpret them.

"This is also a means of preventing theft. Outsiders don't need to speculate."

Gao Xian picked out some useful talismans and a few exquisite-looking magical instruments, and pushed the rest to Zhu Qiniang.

"Qiniang has handled it all for me. I'll give you 20% as a handling fee."

Zhu Qiniang nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of it. She roughly estimated that it could be sold for about 1,500 spirit stones."

"I made a lot of money again, haha..."

Gao Xian calculated the income this time and was very satisfied. He felt that the risk was worth it.

Zhu Qiniang said with some emotion: "The Red Snake Gang deliberately lured Li Shuanglin away. They were going to do something big, but you ruined it. You are really the nemesis of the Red Snake Gang.

She reminded them again: "The Red Snake Gang has the support of the sect behind them. They are numerous and powerful. We can't afford to offend them. We'd better be careful and don't reveal our tracks."

"Qiniang, I heard a secret from the White Snake!"

Gao Xian waved to Qi Niang and said, "Come closer and listen carefully. Don't let anyone else hear."

Zhu Qinnan came over obediently. Gao Xian wanted to talk about business, but when he saw her pink earlobes and her delicate jawline, he couldn't help but get lustful and bit her twice.

Gao Xian became more and more excited, and was about to show off his verbal skills to Qi Niang, but Qi Niang gently sealed his mouth with her hand. She said seriously: "Let's talk about business first!"
