Chapter 168 The Dark Wind and Earth Fire
Sister Bai Yurong left behind 120,000 spirit stones, which is a huge sum of money!
Gao Xian earned more than 4,000 spiritual stones from alchemy every month. After accumulating it for several months, Qiniang gave him 10,000 spiritual stones.
The main reason is that he does not pay for the medicinal materials for refining the elixir, nor does he give a commission to Changshengtang. The income from selling the elixir only deducts 50% of the sect's profit, and the remaining profit is given to him.
Looking at Lianyung City, no alchemist can get such a high share.
It takes money to run a medicine hall, and money is needed for medicinal materials. Changshengtang only has sales rights in Lianyuncheng and another city.
If you want to enter other markets, you must cooperate with other medicine halls. At least 30% of the profit must be given away.
Normally speaking, if the alchemist can share 10% of the profit, it is considered high. Only Zhu Qiniang was willing to help him.
In order to maintain the operation of Changsheng Hall, Qiniang cannot withdraw all the spiritual stones she has earned. Some of the spiritual stones were recorded in the account first and were lent to the Changsheng Hall.
This way of making money is so comfortable, Gao Xian has no shortage of spiritual stones now.
The main reason is that the things on Xu Lingyun's body are very hot, so it's best to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Is Qingyun City just that safe?
He didn't know the situation in Qingyun City, but he knew that the surname of the leader of the Qingyun Sect was Yun, and Yun Taihao was said to be from a side branch of the Yun family.
The things they sell are of high quality. If the Qingyun Sect investigates seriously, can Qiniang really be able to hide it?
Gao Xian thought about it, but finally felt that this matter was risky.
He said: "The risk is too great. It's less than half a year. Master Jin Dan should have the patience.
"We are not short of spiritual stones. Selling these things will reveal our flaws. Go to Qingyun City and buy two Foundation Establishment Pills. Don't do anything else."
Zhu Qiniang felt that Gao Xian was a little too cautious. Then she thought about it, it was a matter of family and life, so there was no harm in being cautious.
As Gao Xian said, they are not short of money.
“Okay, then I'll go to Qingyun City to have a look.”
She said: "By the way, I want to meet that deacon Shui Qingyuan."
Zhu Qiniang has known this deacon for several years and has always had a good relationship. At first, I wanted to go to Qingyun City to seek refuge with Shui Qingyuan.
This time when we go to Qingyun City, we can save a lot of trouble by asking Shui Qingyuan, an acquaintance, to lead the way.
Gao Xian said: "Go to Qingyun City to see the situation, and don't fight with others."
He knew Qiniang very well. This woman had a somewhat gloomy temperament, but was very tough. I like to solve problems with my hands.
Qingyun City is not Lianyun City.
Zhu Qiniang snorted softly, which was both an agreement and an expression of her dissatisfaction. She is not a child, how could she attack anyone casually in Qingyun City!
At the end of April, Zhu Qiniang boarded the Xuanjin shuttle in Yunshui Tower.
Gao Xian is not traveling with him. Zhu Qiniang is more experienced and steady than him, and she has Yunshui Tower taking care of her, so nothing will happen to her.
His temperament is actually quite homely. He is fine with going out for a walk occasionally, but he has no interest in traveling far away.
It's so comfortable to stay at home. You can eat when you want, sleep when you want, and play when you want.
Ten days later, Zhu Qiniang returned safely. When she returned home, she looked a little complicated and said to Gao Xian: "When I came back, I met Yun Feiying."
Gao Xian smiled: "It makes sense for Yun Feiying to go to the auction."
Zhu Qiniang nodded, imitating Gao Xian and said: "It's reasonable."
Having said that, she was a little scared. Because she didn't know that Yun Feiying also went to Qingyun City.
Perhaps Yun Feiying just went to attend the auction, or maybe she went to check Xu Lingyun's magical artifacts!
Zhu Qiniang did not dare to say too much, so she instead said: "I bought three foundation-building pills and one eight thousand spiritual stone. I also bought six drops of thousand-year chalcedony, which cost sixty thousand spiritual stones..."
“It's a little expensive.”
Although Gao Xian is not short of money, he still feels that eight thousand foundation-building pills are a bit expensive.
In his current state, it seems that the Foundation Establishment Pill is not needed at all.
He then said: "I won't use chalcedony very well, so you can keep it."
His body refining relied on Fengyue Baojian to add points, and taking chalcedony was also a bit wasteful.
Zhu Qiniang strongly objected, "Your body is very strong, but it lacks tempering and polishing. In July, I will accompany you to the underground Fenghuo Cave to practice for two months."
“Ah, that's not necessary, is it?”
Gao Xian doesn't want to go, but Zhu Qiniang is very persistent and tough on this matter.
Gao Xian agreed out of respect for Qiniang.
In July, the two went to the underground Fenghuo Cave together.
This place is only a few hundred miles away from Jinxia Peak and is a huge natural pit. The pit is deep enough to bottom out, and its four walls are filled with naturally occurring caves, as densely packed as a honeycomb.
In the depths of the Tiankeng is endless earth fire, and there is also the Nine Nether Wind.
The Jiuyou Yin wind is cold and biting, and the Yin energy is strong. The earth fire is blazing and has strong fire poison.
Even those who are foundation builders cannot withstand the tempering of the wind and earth fire.
There was a senior in the Lianyun Sect who discovered that the Yin Wind and Earth Fire could temper the body.
After hundreds of years of research, a set of methods for tempering the body using the Yin wind and earth fire has been sorted out.
Lianyun Sect has so many cultivators who practice the Hunyuan Golden Body, which also benefits from this.
Zhu Qiniang practices the Hunyuan Golden Body, but she is not a true disciple of the sect and has never learned this secret technique of body tempering.
This time I brought Gao Xian here, and she also bought the thousand-year chalcedony. These body-refining spiritual objects are extremely precious and can protect the origin of their bodies.
Gao Xian specially learned the art of flying with the wind for this training.
This second-level spell is the most basic spell for foundation-building monks to fly.
The art of flying with the wind is quite complex, and only powerful spiritual consciousness can guide mana to make such complex changes.
Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness is strong and his magic power is sufficient, so it is not difficult to learn the wind-controlling flying technique.
After he learned how to fly with the wind, he flew through the Heart Aspect Temple countless times.
Fortunately, there is two hundred feet of space above the Temple of Heart. This height allows him to fly around freely.
According to his estimation, the fastest speed of the wind flying technique is thirty feet per breath, which translates to a speed of about two hundred kilometers per hour.
This speed is quite impressive, but it is unlikely to dodge spells or flying swords from enemies of the same level. Moreover, the wind flying technique cannot last long.
In the initial stage of foundation building like this, Zhu Qiniang can only fly at a medium speed for an hour at most. Gao Xian was quite excited after learning to fly. The disadvantages of wind-control flying were not important to him.
He had never skydived in his previous life, nor had he ever done any wingsuit flying.
Flying in the wind is a very special experience, and there is nothing as far as the eye can see. This goes against people's living habits and puts people under a lot of pressure.
Gao Xian was used to using his magic power and spiritual consciousness to fly in the wind. The refreshing feeling of overlooking the earth brought by flying gave him a great sense of satisfaction.
Facing the bottomless sinkhole, Gao Xian felt a little guilty.
This is like a novice who has just learned to swim. He swims casually in the shallow end of the swimming pool, but becomes a little wobbly in the deep end. If you reach a rough river, novices will not dare to go into the water.
“Don't be afraid, you can use the Qingxia Cloak, which is more energy-saving and more stable than the Wind Control Flying Technique.”
Zhu Qiniang understands Gao Xian's feelings very well. She feels instinctively uneasy when facing the bottomless sinkhole.
Gao Xian nodded, and he lightly patted the green jade ring on his collar, which inspired the Qingxia cloak.
This second-level flying magic weapon was left behind by sister Bai Yurong. Although the Qingxia Cloak is expensive, it is a very common flying magic weapon.
Under the stimulation of his spiritual consciousness and magic power, the aura on the jade ring flashed, creating a long blue glow that stretched out behind him.
The Qingxia cloak looks very beautiful, and the glow looks illusory but is very stable. Qingxia Cloak also has very good defense when attacked, and can resist various spells and magic weapons.
Zhu Qiniang urged the Sunda Wind Wheel to lead the way first.
The Xun Wind Wheel is shaped like a fan from later generations. It is fixed behind Qiniang. There are four impellers turned into cyan auras that continuously rotate, pushing people to fly forward.
The Xun Wind Wheel is faster, but does not have the defensive power of the Qingxia Cloak.
As soon as the two of them entered the sinkhole, gusts of cold wind came towards them. The cold wind seemed to penetrate through the robes and penetrate into the bones.
Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang are both physically strong and feel uncomfortable when being blown by the evil wind.
Gao Xian glanced at Zhu Qiniang and sighed in his heart, we are the ones who are cheating a little bit, otherwise, why would this girl have to suffer such a fate.
Even though I'm here, I always have to go in and see what's going on.
After the two of them lowered more than 200 feet, Zhu Qiniang chose a cave and flew into it.
Not long after walking, Gao Xian felt invisible heat suddenly spurting out from the depths of the cave.
It felt like boiling steam from a steam boiler. Gao Xian's whole body was heated both inside and outside, as if he had been steamed in an instant.
When the heat dissipated, Gao Xian's mouth was dry and his hair was a little brown.
Such a terrifying energy of earth and fire made both Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang a little horrified.
Is it really possible to practice cultivation in a place like this?
Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian discussed it and decided to stay for a few days to see.
Both of them put on mica stone clothes that they bought specially. They are clothes made from mica stone. They are very rough, but they can withstand the wind, earth and fire.
The robes they wear cannot withstand the harsh winds and earth fires for a long time.
It is a deep and dark cave, the ground and the rock walls on both sides are extremely smooth and hard.
Gao Xian knew that this was because the rock was constantly polished by the wind and the earth's fire, making it as smooth as a mirror.
With his strength, one punch could only leave a shallow punch mark on the rock wall. It can be seen that the Yin Wind and Earth Fire are powerful!
Zhu Qiniang walked for a while and chose a cave about ten feet deep as her foothold.
The two of them sat cross-legged, silently experiencing the test of the cold wind and earthly fire.
At one time it was a cold and biting wind, at another time it was a blazing and poisonous earth fire, and at another time the two combined and surged forward.
In this environment, Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang lost their thoughts on communication.
After boiling for a long time, Zhu Qiniang took out the thousand-year chalcedony. She and Gao Xian each took a drop.
Chalcedony turns into mellow spiritual energy after entering the mouth, nourishing the whole body from the inside out.
Gao Xian, who was tortured by the earth's fire and wind, felt his energy and blood surge like a tide, and his spirit was lifted.
No wonder Thousand-Year Chalcedony is so expensive, it is really useful.
With the support of chalcedony, Gao Xian was like a small motor full of electricity, buzzing and vibrating impatiently.
At this time, Gao Xian felt that the cold wind had become a cool summer breeze, and the earth fire had become a winter furnace. The overlap of ice and fire made his body feel comfortable both inside and outside.
Gao Xian practiced Iron Dragon Hand once and felt better. He even became interested and wanted to have a special experience with Zhu Qiniang here!
Zhu Qiniang firmly refused. It would be too shameful and dangerous to practice dual cultivation here.
At midnight, the wind becomes strong. Gao Xian and Qiniang must use their full power to resist.
At noon the next day, the fire on the ground became strong. Gao Xian and Qiniang seemed to have fallen into a steel-making furnace, and their bodies seemed to be tempered into **** by the fire.
The thousand-year-old chalcedony they took continuously emitted spiritual energy to nourish the whole body. The harsh environment also allows their bodies to fully absorb the chalcedony spiritual energy.
Although Gao Xian felt that this kind of practice was too hard, with Qiniang accompanying him, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
Besides, the effect of such body training is indeed good. After all, his vajra was a quick success and the foundation was not solid enough.
Tempered by earth fire and yin wind, he can better control his body's strength and discover physical problems.
With Qiniang accompanying me, the darkness in the Dihuo Cave was not so difficult.
One day at the end of August, Daniel was cleaning the alchemy furnace out of boredom.
There was nothing to do in the past two months. He polished the inside and outside of the alchemy furnace until it was shiny and there was no dust at all.
For Daniel, wiping the alchemy furnace is like sharpening a sword. It's not work, it's a relaxing break.
“Daniu.” Gao Xian walked into the yard slowly and saw Daniu busy in the alchemy room, so he greeted him.
When Daniel heard Gao Xian's voice, he hurried out excitedly, "Brother, you are finally back..."
Danniu looked at Gao Xian in front of him. He hadn't seen him for two months. Gao Xian seemed to have lost a little weight, and his eyes no longer had the sharpness of a sword.
He couldn't explain the specific changes in Gao Xian, but he felt that Gao Xian had changed into a different person. Well, he had become more beautiful!
Gao Xian looked at Da Niu with a smile. He hadn't seen him for two months, but he was still kind to this silly boy when he saw him again!
Da Niu was stunned for a while but then he came to his senses. He said a little anxiously: "Brother, you are back. People from the Shanggong Hall have come to see you several times!"
Gao Xian is not smiling anymore, Shanggong Hall will definitely do no good to him! This stupid boy didn't say anything nice even after we just met! I have to say these disturbing things...
