Chapter 150: Encountering Strange People (Third update, please vote for me!)
“The so-called Dajiangfang is because it is surrounded by Mingjiang River…”
A cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks laughed along with him and explained the origin of Dajiangfang to Gao Xian with a humble look on his face.
Gao Xian looked at the bustling city ahead. The buildings here were all rough and solid. Well, they were in the same style as Pegasus, but they looked a bit rougher and much larger in scale.
According to the information he read, Dajiangfang is adjacent to the Black Snake Mountain, which contains countless exotic black snakes. The skin, bones, and gallbladder of the snakes are extremely valuable.
There are many kinds of elixirs in Black Snake Mountain, as well as many strange spiritual objects and spiritual stones.
Its rich resources attracted a large number of casual cultivators.
According to calculations, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 practitioners living here in Dajiangfang. For a city, this scale is already very large.
Pegasus also had ancient sect ruins, which attracted a large number of casual cultivators.
There should be many casual cultivators from Dajiangfang among them.
Hence, many houses on the outskirts of Dajiangfang are empty, and only the central area still maintains a lively atmosphere.
Gao Xian casually asked the thin cultivator, "Don't you know what to call me?"
“Li Rui.”
The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked cultivator hurriedly reported his name, "I have been in Dajiangfang for almost ten years. To be honest, there is nothing in Dajiangfang that I don't know."
Gao Xian didn't like Li Rui who took the initiative to get close to him.
In this world, the hospitality of strangers is suspect. What's more, he still has several enemies in the sect.
However, it's okay to chat.
Gao Xian asked: "I heard that there is a powerful evil spirit running rampant in Dajiangfang. I wonder what is going on?"
Li Rui laughed dryly: "I know this very well, but..."
Gao Xian understood from Li Rui's look that this guy wanted money.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's find a place to rest and talk in detail."
Li Rui looked happy: "Okay, fellow Taoist, the Hongyun Inn in front is very clean and safe, and the boss is kind."
"good."
Gao Xian came to Dajiangfang for the first time, so he had nothing to criticize. He could just follow Li Rui.
Li Ruipidian led the way to an open area by the river.
Hongyun Inn is located on the open river embankment. There is a large awning at the door with many tables and chairs inside.
Some practitioners were drinking in the awning. It was broad daylight, and all of them were red in the face.
They gathered together and talked very loudly and made a lot of noise.
Li Rui led Gao Xian to sit down in the corner. The view here was wide, and when he raised his head, he could see the raging river in front of him.
Gao Xian sat here and realized that the river water under the sun was bright and transparent. From a distance, it looked silvery and shining, which was very spectacular.
“The water of this big river is bright and transparent, as bright as silver under the sun, and as blue as the sky under the moonlight, so it is called Mingjiang River.”
Li Rui is very discerning. When he saw Gao Xian looking at the river, he hurriedly introduced it, "This Mingjiang River is quite famous, and some practitioners from famous families will come to visit and watch..."
Speaking of these, Li Rui talked endlessly, obviously very familiar with the situation here.
Gao Xian was not very interested in these, he said: "Talk about evil spirits."
Li Rui nodded and smiled: "Fellow Taoist, I risked my life to get this news..."
"How many?"
“Two spiritual stones.”
Li Rui patted his chest and said, "No one in Dajiangfang knows more about evil spirits than me."
He spent the whole day soliciting customers at the landing area of the spaceship, and his eyes were very poisonous. Seeing Gao Xian wearing a magical robe, he knew that this man was wealthy, so he clung to Gao Xian shamelessly.
Since Gao Xian is interested in evil spirits, this is a good opportunity to make money, how could he miss it.
“A spiritual stone.”
Gao Xian is not short of money, but there is no need to waste it. Moreover, being too generous in a place like this will attract greedy people.
Li Rui was overjoyed: "I think Taoist friends are in love with each other, just one spiritual stone."
Gao Xian threw a spiritual stone to Li Rui and said, "Tell me."
Li Rui smiled and took the spirit stone, looked at it carefully before putting it in his sleeve.
He said: "That evil spirit has been around for a few months. It appears and disappears. No one knows what the evil spirit looks like. Anyone who has seen the evil spirit has died..."
According to what Li Rui said, evil spirits come out and wander around late at night and have killed three to four hundred cultivators in the past few months.
You must know that there are only more than 40,000 cultivators in Dajiangfang, and the number of three to four hundred cultivators is quite a lot.
With the death of so many cultivators, the order of Dajiangfang has been greatly damaged, and the cultivators are all panic-stricken. A large number of practitioners chose to leave Dajiangfang.
Gao Xian glanced at the few cultivators who were drinking. Judging from their drunken appearance, they seemed not to care much about evil spirits.
He asked: "So many people have died, does the Lianyun Sect not care about it?"
Li Rui shook his head repeatedly: "Deacon Huang Dapeng is a great monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment. He led people to search several times, but the evil spirit seemed to have disappeared and never showed up again."
"oh?"
Gao Xian asked: "So the evil spirit ran away?"
Li Rui shook his head: "It's hard to say this. It's just that Dajiangfang is so big, Xie Sui can kill a few cultivators, and no one will know about it for a while.
“Anyway, everything seems to be fine in Dajiangfang, so these guys started to indulge again.”
As he spoke, Li Rui glanced at the group of monks drinking wine, with a hint of disdain on his face.
Once a practitioner indulges in alcoholism, he or she has given up on his future. Living is nothing more than eating and waiting to die.
Such a person is worthless even if he is highly skilled in cultivation.
Gao Xian's eyes were deep. This information could be said to be of little value. This old boy dared to accept a spiritual stone from him. He really thought he was a fat sheep!
He said: "That's it?"
Li Rui could hear Gao Xian's dissatisfaction. His face changed slightly and he said hastily: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, I have more important news."
He lowered his voice as he spoke: "Although the evil spirits killed many people, they were all male cultivators.
“Some people speculate that Xie Sui was a female cultivator during her lifetime and was full of resentment towards men, so she specifically selected male cultivators to do this.”
Gao Xian glanced at Li Rui coldly. This news was barely useful.
Li Rui smiled apologetically, "Fellow Taoist, the evil spirit is so mysterious that even the great foundation-building monks can't find it. I've told you everything I know..."
“Okay, let's go.”
Gao Xian didn't want to waste time with this slick guy, so he waved his hand to signal Li Rui to get out of here.
Li Rui was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain. A blade-like light shone out from the depths of Gao Xian's dark eyes, piercing Li Rui's heart like an invisible sword.
Li Rui felt like he was split into two pieces by an invisible sword, and for a moment he was in a trance and didn't know where he was.
He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly woke up, and instinctively took two steps back in panic.
This young cultivator has such powerful spiritual power. Moreover, he fell out whenever he wanted to, and his tough and cold demeanor frightened him greatly.
Li Rui didn't dare to stay any longer. He stood up in a hurry, saluted, and hurried away in a somewhat embarrassed manner. The other cultivators in the greenhouse were eating, drinking and chatting by themselves, and no one paid attention to Li Rui's embarrassment.
Gao Xian dismissed Li Rui and wanted to leave, but he felt that this inn near the river had a broad view.
The river ahead is magnificent and majestic, the green mountains in the distance are clear and ghostly, the mountains and rivers complement each other, and there is something interesting about the movement and stillness.
Anyway, we have more than two months, so there is no rush. It would be nice for him to stay here for a few days and enjoy the scenery.
Zhu Qiniang said before coming here that even if the evil spirit cannot be killed, it doesn't matter. The worst thing to do is to think of other ways to get the foundation building method.
Although the Great Five Elements Kung Fu is superb, it is not a unique secret.
The founder of Lianyun Sect is said to be from Qingyun Sect. Maybe Qingyun Sect has a complete inheritance of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
It's just that the inheritance of these skills is the foundation of the sect, and even if you go to Qingyun Sect, you may not be able to get it easily.
Zhu Qiniang's point is, if you can kill evil spirits, it's good, but if you can't, don't worry too much.
Gao Xian fully agreed with this. This was the path drawn by Zhang Chunjiang, and there was no need to completely follow the opponent's rhythm.
At least you must distinguish the priorities and don't risk everything just to kill evil spirits.
Gao Xian opened a single room in Hongyun Inn. The room was very simple, but fortunately the walls were thick and it was relatively quiet.
After doing his usual homework, he lay down and took a nap.
With nothing to do, Gao Xian took out the Feng Yue Baojian again.
During this period, his consciousness and cultivation have greatly increased, and he needs time to stabilize his condition.
On the other hand, he also needs to be familiar with the Qingyuan Ruyi Robe and the Six-Yang Demon-Propelling Golden Shuttle.
Including many powerful spells, they all require time to study and ponder.
Arrived at Dajiangfang, sitting on the bed and listening to the sound of the roaring river not far away, Gao Xian entered a state of relaxation mentally and physically.
He finally had the energy to study the remaining spells.
On the back of Fengyue Treasure Mirror, there are still shadowless robes and the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. Two spells can add points.
Other small spells such as the scent-smelling technique and the yin-yang wheel have long been added to his master's perfection.
Even if these small spells reach Grandmaster perfection, they will have very limited benefits for him.
The Shadowless Magic Cloak and the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire are very powerful spells.
Gao Xian now has time, so of course he must give priority to filling up the two spells.
Sixty thousand points of humane spiritual light were invested, and the shadowless robe rose to the state of master perfection.
The Fengyue Baojian also contains annotations on the Shadowless Dharma Clothes.
Shadowless Dharma Clothes: The magic power is condensed into a garment that covers the whole body, making it shadowless and invisible. It connects Yin and Yang, avoids the five elements, protects the form, and changes as desired. (40000/40000 Grandmaster Perfection)
The annotation of the master's perfect shadowless robe has been greatly changed.
Gao Xian's consciousness entered the Heart Aspect Temple and experienced various changes in the shadowless robes of the master's perfect level.
At this point, the protective ability of the Shadowless Vestment has more than doubled. Its protective ability even exceeds that of Golden Light Technique.
Golden Light Technique is a second-level mid-level spell, which is enough to withstand a strike from a foundation-building monk.
The red iron robe is valuable because it is a first-level robe blessed with second-level golden light.
Because of this, Xu Shengye's golden light technique was a little slow when he activated it.
Gao Xian also bought ten golden light magic talismans this time, just to keep them for self-defense.
The protective effect of the Shadowless Vestment actually exceeds that of the Golden Light Spell, which is a bit outrageous.
However, the Shadowless Magic Clothes has undergone a mutation. According to Gao Xian's estimation, it can still be regarded as a second-level spell.
With the blessing of Fengyue Baojian and the consumption of so many human spiritual lights, it is quite reasonable to have such a protective ability.
At the level of Grand Master perfection, the Shadowless Dharma Clothes can be activated continuously and instantly, that is, even if it is broken, it can be activated again instantly.
Connecting Yin and Yang and avoiding the Five Elements means that the Shadowless Dharma Clothes can strengthen Gao Xian's induction of the spiritual energy and magic power of heaven and earth, and can penetrate the changes in the Five Elements at the same level.
At this point, he can even penetrate metal barriers and maintain invisibility in water.
The transformed intangible state is more stable and lasts until ten breaths, which greatly enhances his life-saving ability.
I have to say, it's great to use humane aura to upgrade. There is no need to practice at all, the spell is instantly upgraded to the full level. Its powerful power is the envy of even great foundation-building monks!
Gao Xian is very satisfied with the upgrade results. Compared with spells such as the Zhengyang Spear, the Shadowless Vestment has a wider application range and has better effects.
With the Shadowless Vestment, you can take the initiative on the battlefield. Whether it was a sneak attack or retreat, no one could stop him.
Gao Xian stayed in his room and took a second-level Jin Yuan Dan at night.
Jin Yuan Dan strengthens the soul internally, strengthens the muscles, bones, Qi and blood externally, strengthens the foundation and nourishes the vitality. It is a Qi-training elixir that is taken daily by foundation-building monks.
One Jin Yuan Dan can be transformed into mellow spiritual energy to nourish the body, mind and soul. It can also meet the daily needs of the body, and there is no need to eat for three to five days.
This Jin Yuan Dan is worth ten spiritual stones.
Gao Xian was also away from home, and the aura of Dajiangfang was far inferior to that of Lianyuncheng, so he used Jin Yuandan extravagantly.
After finishing my homework, it was already dark outside.
Gao Xian got down from the bed, issued the shadowless robe, walked through the wall and left the room.
He first walked around the inside and outside of Hongyun Inn, mainly observing the environment of the inn, and then looking at the situation of the boss, waiters, and guests.
This is for security reasons, not because he likes to pry into other people's privacy.
Fortunately, there are not many guests in the inn, and the boss and waiters seem to be normal.
When Gao Xian passed by a courtyard, he realized that something was wrong.
Through the flower appreciating mirror, he was actually unable to see the situation inside the Kuaiyuan because there was a magic circle set up outside the main room of the Kuaiyuan.
Gao Xian didn't understand the magic circle, but he could see that this magic circle was very sophisticated. The magic circle constructed a series of invisible light curtains that criss-crossed the main room, protecting the main room layer by layer. Even the flower appreciating mirror could not see inside the magic circle. Case.
This magic circle is much more sophisticated than the magic circle at Qiniang's home. Even his full-level Shadowless Magic Cloak cannot penetrate the protection of this magic circle.
Gao Xian was greatly surprised. How could such a person come from a small place like Dajiangfang?
The magic circle is different from the magic weapon. The magic weapon only needs to be controlled by the spiritual consciousness to activate the magic weapon. However, the magic circle must conform to the aura of heaven and earth, the orientation of the five elements, and the surrounding environment.
To arrange the magic circle, you need to be proficient in the five elements of yin and yang, the changes in runes, and the method of formation. Only then can you adapt to the situation and arrange the magic circle in different environments.
Simply put, using a magic weapon is like driving a vehicle, but setting up a magic circle is like assembling a vehicle. The two look a bit similar, but in fact the technical difficulty is completely different.
There are seventy or eighty great foundation-building monks in the Lianyun Sect, but only a handful of them are truly proficient in formations.
This shows how difficult and complicated the formation method is.
The opponent arranged the magic circle in the inn so exquisitely, which shows how powerful the opponent is. On the other hand, the other party also showed strong financial resources.
The magic circle must be driven by spiritual stones. To maintain such a small magic circle, it would cost at least ten to eight spiritual stones in a day.
Gao Xian was very curious about the people in the circle. He wondered where he came from and what he was doing here.
He remembered what Li Rui had said during the day that Mingjiang was quite famous and many disciples from famous sects often came here to play in the past.
Is it possible that this person inside is a disciple of a certain major sect?
(As my book friend said, please call me San Geng Zhenren! A perfect ten thousand words, not a bit empty! It's not too much to ask for a monthly ticket~)
