"Brother, you are out of seclusion!"
Seeing Gao Xuan coming out, Yuanbao came up to him excitedly, but she soon discovered that Gao Xuan was a little different.
But she couldn't tell what was different. She just felt like Gao Xuan was covered in a thin layer of gauze, and it was hazy and hard to see clearly.
Not only is it a bit more mysterious, it's also a bit more strange.
Yuanbao was only sixteen years old and had no experience in cultivation. But she was too familiar with Gao Xuan and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Gao Xuan.
"Brother, you seem to have become a different person?" Yuan Bao was a little worried and a little surprised, "You seem to be more handsome!"
Gao Xuan touched Yuan Bao's cute little head and said, "What has changed? Brother has made great progress in his magical skills. Moreover, he has specially adjusted his facial features in order to avoid his enemies."
The golden elixir condensed from the three elements of earth, water and fire not only cleansed Gao Xuan's soul, but also reshaped his body with the power of the golden elixir.
The internal organs, tendons and bones were strengthened and all the impurities in the body were removed, making Gao Xuan's body tougher and stronger, and his entire body appeared clearer.
Especially the adjustments to the details of the facial features made Gao Xuan a completely different person.
Yuanbao, who was extremely familiar with Gao Xuan, still recognized Gao Xuan, but just thought that Gao Xuan had become particularly handsome.
It was also because Gao Xuan was only seventeen years old when he possessed this body, and his facial features had not yet taken shape.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to form the golden elixir, Gao Xuan consciously reshaped his facial features, making this body's appearance 70% similar to his original body.
Now that he is meeting Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan will definitely not recognize him.
Now Gao Xuan's facial features and figure have changed, his temperament has also completely changed.
The originally simple and clean temperament becomes pure and clear like water. The two temperaments seem similar, but in fact they are completely different.
Simple and clean like unpolished jade, pure and clear like spring water, flowing continuously and full of spirituality.
Beneath the pure and clear spring water are actually towering and massive mountains and the calm and unmovable earth that supports the mountains, rivers, and all living things.
Gao Xuan's change was so amazing that Yuanbao, who knew nothing, easily accepted Gao Xuan's words.
He thought for a moment and handed the Yunguangsha to Yuanbao: "Take this magic weapon and use it."
Gao Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he said this. He was a poor man after all. Apart from a few of the most important magical weapons, he had no other magical weapons.
Yuan Bao didn't despise it. She happily took the Yunguangsha and said politely, "Oh, this is not the magic weapon that Sister Jiang Lan gave you. How can I take it?"
Having said that, she held Yun Guangsha tightly in her arms with her little claws.
Gao Xuan rubbed Yuan Bao's head with some amusement: "If you want to say that, I can take it back."
"As a senior brother, I have to keep my word. How can I take it back after giving it to me?"
Yuanbao was so frightened that she stepped back hastily. The cloud-like gauze draped over her body shone with a clear light and made her look like an ethereal being. She had been coveting it for a long time.
Gao Xuan felt a little sorry for Yuanbao. Following his poor senior brother, he had never seen the world.
He went over, took Yuan Bao's hand and said, "I'll give you this. Your cultivation is not good enough now, so I'll give you some pointers."
Gao Xuan has mastered the essence of Thick Earth, Heavenly Water and Fiery Fire, and his level of cultivation has far surpassed that of a Jindan like Zhou Huang.
Looking back at Yuan Bao, he immediately saw where the key problem in her practice lay.
In fact, Yuanbao has already practiced Qi to the tenth level and is only one step away from building a foundation.
Without a panacea or a master's guidance, it would take her at least ten to twenty years of hard work to achieve the foundation.
Now, things are simple.
Gao Xuan led Yuanbao to the depths of the cave and activated the Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi to help Yuanbao sort out his vitality.
Gao Xuan not only has a high level of cultivation, but he also has a deep understanding of the cultivator's body, which allows him to control the most subtle level of vital energy and help Yuanbao in the most natural state.
More importantly, he can guide Yuanbao to concentrate his efforts to overcome difficulties.
Yuanbao's understanding of cultivation was too superficial. He could only practice step by step, and he had no idea which direction to put his effort in.
While helping Yuanbao to channel and gather her vital energy, Gao Xuan explained to her the essence of it, allowing her to have a comprehensive and profound understanding of foundation building.
In just one day, Yuan Bao completed the foundation building with the help of Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan also taught Yuan Bao the "Tian Yi Zhen Jing".
The foundation can be built quickly, that is when Yuanbao has reached the right stage of cultivation, he only needs to give a push at the key point. The golden elixir cannot be built quickly, it still requires Yuanbao to cultivate step by step.
The tiger monster was easy to deal with, so Gao Xuan threw a few beastly pills at it and used thick earth true qi to help the tiger monster complete its foundation building.
This method is a bit rough, but fortunately the tiger demon has thick skin and flesh and can withstand the torment.
After the tiger demon established his foundation, his combat power skyrocketed. He was much stronger than Old Huang.
Gao Xuan wanted to go out and fish in troubled waters, so naturally he couldn't take Yuanbao and the tiger demon with him.
The tiger monster is too conspicuous, and Yuanbao is too weak. Let Yuanbao and the tiger monster stay here for a while.
If the other party wants to track him, they will only track him and will not cause trouble for Yuanbao.
Gao Xuan left a few more talismans for Yuan Bao, two of which were earth escape techniques. If he encountered a strong enemy, he would use earth escape. There was also a concentric talisman that allowed Yuan Bao to communicate with him over a long distance.
This is actually a secret method recorded in the Tianyi Sutra, and its actual name is "Thousands of rivers have one water and all seas have one source." Wherever there is water, even if it is billions of miles away, it can be connected instantly.
Gao Xuan’s magic power is not that high yet, but with this talisman, he can sense it as long as Yuanbao is in danger.
Of course, the most important killer is to stay on the tiger monster. As long as he is sure that Yuanbao is in trouble, he can temporarily control the tiger monster from a distance.
By condensing the golden elixir and integrating the three secret methods of thick earth, heavenly water and raging fire, Gao Xuan naturally mastered some mysterious techniques.
After arranging the ingots properly, Gao Xuan left the valley alone.
The Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi was a bit eye-catching, so Gao Xuan turned the black gold robe into pure jade white, took out a whisk and a jade hair crown from his sleeve, and hung a three-inch jade sword around his waist.
The Jade Sword Sect, a super large sect in Fangzhang State in the East China Sea, is said to have millions of outer disciples, most of whom are descendants of princes and nobles in Fangzhang State.
It is precisely because the Jade Sword Sect has many disciples, and they are all rich people. These people have money and free time, so they like to run around everywhere.
Gao Xuan's jade crown and jade sword were all things left in the Vermillion Bird Ring. They were also foundation-building level instruments. They were not very useful, but they were more than enough to impersonate the Jade Sword Sect.
With this outfit and the plastic surgery Gao Xuan had on his face, he really looks like a handsome young man with a graceful figure.
Gao Xuan activated the three-inch jade sword, and a ball of jade sword light wrapped around him and soared into the sky, leaving a long jade rainbow in the sky.
The speed of flying with a sword is very fast. Gao Xuan set out in the morning and arrived at Hukou Ghost Market at noon.
Hukou Ghost Market is the largest ghost market in Penglai Prefecture. What makes it different from other ghost markets is that it is open day and night and never closes.
Gao Xuan entered the Hukou Ghost Market from the entrance under a big locust tree, and the scene suddenly became lively.
The crisscrossing streets and various buildings form a continuous area, making it look like a bustling market town.
At the doorsteps of shops on both sides of the street, there were shop assistants shouting their wares. Cultivators were coming and going in groups, shoulder to shoulder. The bustling scene was like arriving at a popular tourist attraction.
Compared to the ghost market Gao Xuan had visited before, this place is more than ten times larger.
Gao Xuan glanced around and naturally saw the Wanbao Pavilion in the middle of the market. No matter which ghost market it was, the Wanbao Pavilion would definitely occupy the best location and have the most imposing storefront.
Wanbao Pavilion claims that wherever there are monks, there is a branch of Wanbao Pavilion. Branches are spread all over the world.
Gao Xuan has no way to verify this statement, but it is said that there are Wanbao Pavilions everywhere in the Ten States of the East China Sea.
If you want to get information, Wanbao Pavilion is naturally the best place.
Gao Xuan stood at the door of Wanbao Pavilion, and without him saying anything, a waiter came over to greet him warmly.
If nothing else, Gao Xuan's gentle and jade-like appearance was worthy of greeting. Judging from his dress and manner, he was at least a foundation-building expert.
"Master, please come in. Today is a great day for an auction. We have all kinds of rare treasures, secret magic tools, and everything else..."
Gao Xuan nodded and followed the waiter into Wanbao Pavilion.
The interior space of this Wanbao Pavilion is spacious. After passing through the first hall, there is a larger hall in the second hall. It is divided into two floors and is filled with seats.
There are already more than a hundred people sitting in the room, and it looks lively.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, the waiter bowed to Gao Xuan and grinned, "Master, in order to prevent random bidding, you must first pay 500 low-grade spirit stones to participate in the auction. If you don't buy anything, 50 spirit stones will be deducted..."
The guy didn't say it before because he was afraid that Gao Xuan would be scared away. Now that he's here, the monks always have to keep their face. Could it be that he was despised by a little guy
If Gao Xuan hadn't gone in to listen to some news, he wouldn't have been tricked by the boy.
He casually took out a medium-grade spirit stone and gave it to the waiter. One medium-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one thousand low-grade spirit stones. Gao Xuan inherited the property of Liehuo and Tianshui families, which also had more than five thousand medium-grade spirit stones. It can be said that he was very wealthy.
You have to know that this is the wealth accumulated by Liehuo and Tianshui for hundreds of years. As for Houtu Sect, there are only a few thousand low-grade spirit stones in total. It can be seen how miserable they are.
After receiving the middle-grade spirit stone, the waiter's eyes lit up again. This guy is really a rich man.
The waiter led Gao Xuan to a private seat in the back row. From this position, Gao Xuan could see others, and others had to turn their heads to look at him. There were screens on both sides, so it was a good place.
As soon as Gao Xuan sat down, someone served him tea and water, put out a fruit plate, and presented him with the auction list.
The list is also engraved on a piece of white jade. When stimulated by spiritual consciousness, the list recorded in the white jade can appear as a phantom.
The operation is a bit like a projector, but the threshold is a bit high. Only cultivators can activate it with their spiritual consciousness.
Gao Xuan took a casual look and found that the finale of the auction item was actually a spiritual weapon: a white jade gourd.
The white jade gourd can transform water into top-grade wine, and another thing is that it can hold almost unlimited amounts of water or other liquids such as wine.
If you say it is useless, the white jade gourd is still somewhat useful. If you say it is useful, such a spiritual tool is almost a plaything. The price is directly a thousand medium-grade spiritual stones.
Gao Xuan shook his head. With so many spirit stones, there were so many things to buy. Who would buy a toy? In Penglai Province, there were probably not many people who could be so extravagant.
But somehow, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: this gourd seems to be quite interesting... and it also matches his current outfit.
Gao Xuan quickly suppressed this thought. It seemed a bit unfair to Zhou Huang and the others to spend money recklessly.
The auction hasn't started yet, and the cultivators gathered from all over the place couldn't help but communicate with each other.
Gao Xuan sat here mainly to hear news from all sides.
Most of the cultivators sitting here were independent cultivators from various places. Regardless of their cultivation level, they were all very experienced and knowledgeable. When they talked about various anecdotes, Gao Xuan listened with great interest.
As this group of cultivators talked, the topic naturally turned to the battle between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Tianji Sect.
After all, these two sects are the bosses of Penglai Province. The conflict between the two bosses has a huge impact. Many cultivators have been greatly affected.
"The Xuanzhen Sect has been really aggressive recently. I heard that two Jindans from the Tianji Sect have died..."
"Not only that, I heard that the Five Elements Sect was destroyed by the Xuanzhen Sect. A group of disciples were forced to join the Xuanzhen Sect. Those who refused were killed on the spot. The Fiery Master Zhou Huang was killed on the spot. It was too tragic!"
“How miserable…”
A group of people shook their heads and sighed. After all, the Five Elements Sect was one of the three sects and six schools, and its inheritance had been around for thousands of years. How could it be destroyed just like that
Many cultivators sighed when they talked about it. A large sect like the Five Elements Sect could be destroyed at any time, so a group of small sect cultivators like them didn't know how to protect themselves in such a storm.
There is no way, a group of people ran to Hukou Ghost Market, actually they also wanted to avoid the limelight.
“I heard that Li Buyi of Xuanzhen Sect has become a Nascent Soul True Person, and a fifth-order Nascent Soul. He also somehow found the Xuanyang Sword left by the founder of Xuanzhen Sect, and is now known as the number one swordsman in Penglai.”
"This is something the Xuanzhen Sect boasted about themselves. They claim to be the number one swordsman in Penglai, so where does that put the Wanjian Sect?"
"Don't tell me, the Wanjian Sect really didn't say anything."
"Will the Tianji Sect, such a large sect, really be destroyed?"
"Who knows?"
“There’s always a feeling of being in a precarious situation…”
"The two major sects should decide the winner quickly, and stop making trouble!"
A group of practitioners were discussing in groups of three or five, one after another.
Gao Xuan listened for a while and had already understood the general situation.
However, I don't know how many times this news has been passed on, so I just heard about it.
As everyone was talking excitedly, a group of people walked in from the gate. A young man at the head suddenly shouted, "Stop making noise! You have no right to comment on the actions of our Xuanzhen Sect!"
Everyone was startled and turned to look. They saw the young man in the lead wearing a black Taoist robe, with a handsome face and a black mark like an eye painted on his forehead.
The way he is dressed and the mark on his forehead make him look like a true disciple of the Xuanzhen sect.
Xuanzhen Sect has always been arrogant and overbearing in Penglai Prefecture. Many independent cultivators have dealt with Xuanzhen Sect. When they saw this person, no one said anything.
The leading young Taoist sneered, "I might as well tell you straight, my master Xuan Yang Zhen Jun will compete with Tian Ji Sect's head master Wang Haichan at Four Seasons Lake on the fifteenth of next month."
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
Wang Haichan is a famous Yuanying Zhenjun who has achieved enlightenment for more than 600 years. Xuanyang Zhenjun Li Buyi only achieved Yuanying this year.
Li Buyi actually has the courage to challenge Wang Haichan
Needless to say, the two sides are going to fight to see who is better. This is also convenient.
Everyone looked at the young Taoist priest again, their eyes were also filled with awe. This was the disciple of the newly rising True Lord Li Buyi, who was now at the peak of his power and no one could stand up to him.
The young Taoist was very proud and sat in the front row with a group of people.
The guests around hurriedly made way, but no one dared to offend him.
Gao Xuan also became interested. This guy came at the right time. He couldn't beat Li Buyi. This guy was just a foundation-building person, yet he dared to show off in the market. He would make a fool of himself and open a business!
