Chapter 97: Green Lotus Sword (Third update to ask for monthly votes)
Gao Xian woke up from his trance-like state, he let out a long breath, and completed the last step of practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
The Five Elements Kung Fu originated from the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, especially the first three levels of foundation-laying methods are exactly the same.
His transition to practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu was very smooth and there was no difficulty at all.
It was just the expert level of Five Elements Kung Fu, but after being transformed into the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, it became the entry level.
This point is marked very clearly in Fengyue Baojian.
Great Five Elements Kung Fu: Use the power of the five elements as the foundation to temper the body, mind and soul. (115/300 entry level)
With the help of Sister Lan, practicing 108 cycles can improve one's cultivation level a little.
Under normal circumstances, Gao Xian would practice the Great Five Elements Kung Fu for 108 cycles each morning and evening, and his proficiency would increase by two points a day.
By this calculation, the speed of cultivation is not slow.
After switching to practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, Gao Xian clearly felt that his efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy had increased a lot, his magic power became more powerful and pure, and it operated more smoothly and freely.
It is difficult to measure these changes with specific numbers, but they have completely altered his state of cultivation, the state of his mana circulation, and in turn have had significant effects on his body, mind, and soul.
Although the Great Puppet Magic and the Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand are powerful, they are the techniques for operating power.
The Great Five Elements Kung Fu is a method for cultivating strength, so the Great Five Elements Kung Fu is the foundation of everything.
Without the Great Five Elements Power, no matter how powerful other spells are, they will not be able to exert their power.
Gao Xian understood this principle very well, but there was no shortcut to the Great Five Elements Kung Fu. He could only rely on his own hard work, and his progress would not be fast.
Fortunately, Fengyue Baojian allows him to gain something every time he practices, and he can make steady progress. This has already surpassed countless practitioners.
During this period, Gao Xian also made another discovery, which was a green lotus-patterned belt he got from the White Snake.
Qinglian's belt is about as wide as a palm and six feet long. It is as flexible and stiff as cowhide, and the outer layer is as smooth as brocade and as thick as cloth.
The belt has a buckle that can be adjusted in length. There are holes on the green lotus pattern for hanging items. The overall style is simple and generous.
There are three independent storage spaces inside the Qinglian belt, each of which is one square. Dividing into three independent spaces also makes it easier to classify personal belongings.
The belt itself is extremely tough and can even withstand sword strikes.
As a belt, this one is very high-end.
Gao Xian asked Qiniang to take a look at it, but Qiniang also found it difficult to determine the grade of the belt. It was the first time for her to see a belt with such exquisite craftsmanship.
More importantly, Gao Xian discovered that the lotus pattern on the belt was similar to the Green Lotus Hair Crown. After a period of research and experimentation, he found that this was indeed the case.
The Green Lotus Belt and Green Lotus Hair Crown are a set of magical instruments, and there is a subtle resonance between the two.
This subtle resonance allows Gao Xian to absorb spiritual energy and circulate magic power more quickly.
The Great Five Elements Kung Fu circulates 108 times, which takes one hour and two quarters under the guidance of Sister Lan.
With the help of the Green Lotus Crown and the Green Lotus Belt, it only takes half an hour, which greatly improves the efficiency.
The same is true when circulating magic power. With the support of two magic tools, the efficiency is greatly improved.
According to Gao Xian's estimation, the two instruments combined can increase the efficiency by about 70%. This is very impressive.
Gao Xian also discovered that the Qingshuang Sword seemed to be related to these two magical weapons.
The Qingshuang Sword's hilt is in the shape of a lotus flower, and the hilt is also covered with lotus patterns. The so-called Qingshuang Sword should be named by Yao Qingshuang himself.
Gao Xian decided to change the name to Qinglian Sword, which was more in line with the temperament of the sword and also could distance himself from Yao Qingshuang.
In the words of the game, the Green Lotus Crown, Green Lotus Belt and Green Lotus Sword, these three items are likely to be a set of top-quality suits.
However, the Green Lotus Sword was more mysterious, and he had not fully understood it yet, let alone making the Green Lotus Sword resonate with the other two magical weapons.
Gao Xian felt that the main problem was that his cultivation was too weak and he was unable to truly stimulate the hidden changes of the Green Lotus Sword.
At that time, Yao Qingshuang was able to resonate with the sword, and he already had the feeling of becoming one with the sword.
Gao Xian felt that Yao Qingshuang was not a genius in swordsmanship. The reason she was able to do this was just because she had developed some tacit understanding with the sword after using it for a long time.
It has been almost a year since he got the Green Lotus Sword, and he feels that there is already a subtle connection between him and the sword.
I think it won’t take too long to reach the state of unity between man and sword like Yao Qingshuang.
Gao Xian was quite looking forward to this. The extreme speed granted by his Electric Light Dragon Hand required a top-grade sword to fully unleash its power.
According to Qiniang, the leader of the Red Snake Gang, Red Snake, is not dead.
There are other sects behind the Red Snake Gang. I don't know when the Red Snake Gang will make a comeback. It's better to be careful.
Fortunately, he rarely goes out, so it doesn't matter what he wears. Besides, there are so many people in the Red Snake Gang, how many of them can really recognize the Green Lotus Crown, belt, and sword?
In addition to practicing, Gao Xian had to open the furnace to refine elixirs in the hot July.
He had calculated well that the pills he had prepared in advance would be enough for him to rest for four months and spend a leisurely summer.
As a result, Lianyun Sect opened up the ruins of its ancient sect, attracting independent practitioners from all directions.
The number of independent cultivators in Pegasus has increased dramatically. According to Zhu Qinnan, the number of independent cultivators has now reached more than 60,000.
With so many independent cultivators, all kinds of elixirs and magic talismans sold well. Especially Deer Horn Powder and Tiangui Pill became the most popular elixirs.
The four-month supply that Gao Xian had prepared was clearly not enough.
In order to make money and for the sake of humanity, Gao Xian had to start refining elixirs in the scorching heat.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
In order to avoid being smoked by charcoal fire, Gao Xian chose to use spirit stones to make the elixir.
The alchemy furnace has its own magic circle, and the spirit stones can be directly embedded in the grooves on the three legs of the alchemy furnace. The spirit stones can be used to activate the water and fire magic circle to refine pills.
In the past, Gao Xian was too poor to use spirit stones to make elixirs. Now that he has more money, he is not willing to suffer anymore.
Three spiritual stones can be used to refine three furnaces of elixirs. Moreover, there is no smoke or fire, and the water and fire formations confine the mana in the furnace, so it hardly transfers out.
On the other hand, the quality of the elixir made with spirit stones is also higher. After all, charcoal fire is only stable, but the temperature cannot be adjusted at will.
Gao Xian has the magic of Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, and he has mastered the power of water and fire to perfection. He is even more adept at using it to make pills.
After adapting to the water and fire formations of the alchemy furnace, Gao Xian's efficiency in refining pills has greatly improved.
August came in a blink of an eye. The weather became increasingly hot, with only a slight breeze in the evening.
Gao Xian took advantage of the cool weather to go to the backyard of Baibing Hall and asked to open the back door. He often came here, and the old maid saw that it was Gao Xian and hurriedly led him to the main room.
Huang Ying was very happy to see Gao Xian coming, and immediately asked the waiter to go to Lao Li’s wine shop to bring back some dishes.
Gao Xian was both happy and a little worried about Huang Ying's enthusiasm.
Huang Ying is still charming and has a good figure. She is definitely a beauty. There is no man who doesn't like beautiful women, and he can't resist passionate beautiful women.
Gao Xian was just a little worried that Huang Ying would eat him. This woman was as fierce as a wolf in her bones.
The wine and food were brought back quickly, Gao Xian and Huang Ying drank a few glasses of wine, and both of them relaxed.
Gao Xian held Huang Ying's soft hand and comforted himself in his heart: "It's all for the sake of accompanying the client. I do it reluctantly, reluctantly..."
Huang Ying was a generous woman, and she quickly opened her heart and spoke frankly to Gao Xian.
"Brother, my whole body aches recently. Please massage my body after dinner."
"The pain is caused by poor blood circulation. I'll help Sister Ying sort it out later."
"Yes, help me get through..."
The charm in Huang Ying's bright eyes surged like waves, overflowing into Gao Xian's heart.
Gao Xian also felt dry mouth and somehow he thought of a lot of things.
"Brother is so kind, I salute you."
Just as Gao Xian was about to raise his glass to drink with Huang Ying, Huang Ying gently pushed Gao Xian's glass away. She put her arm around Gao Xian's neck and sat on his lap, smiling coquettishly, "Please drink from the leather cup, brother."
As he spoke, Huang Ying picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp but did not swallow it. Instead, he moved closer to Gao Xian.
Looking at the rosy lips that were leaning forward, with a faint gleam of water inside, Gao Xian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "This sister is too good at playing, I can't stop her!"
Gao Xian felt that he should resist, but for some reason, he felt so weak that he was completely powerless to do so.
Before he even finished his drink, Gao Xian felt drunk. He shouted excitedly in his heart, "It's over. I'm going to be eaten today..."
At this moment, a sharp scream was heard from outside! (End of this chapter)
