"Hey, I don't know where that heroic Taoist friend in front of me came from?"
Gao Xuan called the waiter over to ask about the situation.
The waiter carefully looked ahead and whispered, "This is Taoist Master Li Xingyu, a disciple of Master Xuanyang."
Seeing the waiter's cautious look, Gao Xuan didn't ask any more questions.
As long as they are from the Xuanzhen Sect, it will be fine even if they are killed.
Xuanzhen Sect had more than 100,000 disciples, and most of them just followed the sect's orders. The Five Elements Sect's affairs seemed to have nothing to do with them.
However, things cannot be viewed in this way.
As disciples of Xuanzhen Sect, they enjoy the benefits of Xuanzhen Sect and work for Xuanzhen Sect. They are one with Xuanzhen Sect.
Just like Gao Xuan, as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, is an enemy of the Xuanzhen Sect. Unless he is willing to surrender, the two sides are enemies. There is no human touch here.
Gao Xuan sat quietly in the back watching the fun, and the other cultivators were also silent.
Li Xingyu suddenly appeared, but no one dared to shout around him. As for the gossip, no one dared to talk about it.
The entire auction seemed very depressing. The old man who presided over the auction tried to liven up the atmosphere, but to no avail.
Without the right atmosphere, the auction would be boring.
Li Xingyu bid for two items. As soon as he opened his mouth, no one followed him to make an offer.
There was still silence until the last white jade gourd appeared.
The old man who presided over the auction said weakly: "The spiritual weapon white jade gourd, the starting price is one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones."
There was total silence below. Even wealthy cultivators would not buy such a useless spiritual weapon.
When the auctioneer called out for the third time, Li Xingyu suddenly raised a finger: "I want it."
The old man presiding over the auction was a little surprised. He asked as usual: "Does anyone else want to bid?"
The old auctioneer also felt that no one dared to compete with Li Xingyu in bidding. He raised the gavel and was about to knock it down when Gao Xuan, who was sitting behind him, suddenly said, "One thousand and one hundred middle-grade spirit stones."
Gao Xuan's words also attracted attention from all sides. Everyone wanted to see who was so powerful that he dared to challenge the popular Li Xingyu.
Li Xingyu also stood up and looked at Gao Xuan. Although the private room at the back was dark, he could still see Gao Xuan's appearance clearly.
The other party turned out to be a handsome young man with a graceful figure. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a member of the Jade Sword Sect of Fangzhangzhou.
Li Xingyu was a little surprised. He thought it was someone from the Tianji Sect who was trying to make things difficult for him. But it turned out to be an outsider cultivator.
The Jade Sword Sect is a large sect, but this is Penglai Prefecture. What kind of identity does the other party have to dare to cause trouble to him openly
The price of the white jade gourd was increased by one hundred medium-grade spirit stones each time. Li Xingyu felt a little overwhelmed after just one increase in price.
Li Xingyu bowed to Gao Xuanyi and said, "I don't know what this Taoist friend's name is, but my name is Li Xingyu, and I am a disciple of Xuanyang Zhenjun of Xuanzhen Sect. I bought this white jade gourd to honor my master. Please give me some face."
Gao Xuan sat still, smiling slightly, "The Wanbao Pavilion is auctioning, and the highest bidder wins. If Fellow Daoist Li wants it, just add more money."
This was a very impolite statement, giving no face to Li Xingyu at all, let alone to Xuanzhen Sect and Xuanyang Zhenjun.
Li Xingyu looked at Gao Xuan with a serious expression and said, "You are right, fellow Daoist. It was I who was rash."
He turned around and sat down, ignoring Gao Xuan.
This small conflict made the atmosphere on the scene extremely tense and depressing.
The cultivators didn't even dare to breathe. Fortunately, they had made great progress in their cultivation and could hold on for a short period of time without breathing.
The old man who presided over the auction also looked at Gao Xuan. Of course, he liked people to raise the price. But Gao Xuan was obviously fighting with Li Xingyu, which could easily cause trouble for Wanbao Pavilion.
The old man asked weakly, "One thousand and one hundred spirit stones, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"Twelve thousand." Li Xingyu raised the price with a cold face.
"One thousand five."
Although Gao Xuan was somewhat interested in the white jade gourd, he thought it was too expensive. But since Li Xingyu wanted it, he wanted to play with him.
Li Xingyu did not raise the price again. He stood up and walked out. When he passed in front of Gao Xuan, Li Xingyu stopped and sneered, "Daoyou is so generous. I admire you."
The people who followed Li Xingyu all looked at Gao Xuan with unfriendly expressions. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would really have killed someone.
Li Xingyu waved his sleeves and left with a group of people.
A young man came over and said carefully, "Master, please follow me."
The clerk explained: "The spiritual weapon needs to be handed over to you by the shopkeeper in person."
Gao Xuan nodded and followed the boy out.
As soon as Gao Xuan left, a group of cultivators couldn't help but start talking.
"Is this person courting death?"
"The Xuanzhen Sect was always overbearing and domineering. He provoked them and it didn't end well for him."
"The Xuanzhen sect is now at its peak, how can we swallow this insult!"
"Young and frivolous, young and frivolous..."
"It looks like he is a cultivator from a foreign land. How pitiful! He is a very talented man, but he is about to die in Penglai!"
A group of cultivators were not optimistic about Gao Xuan's fate. They were afraid that the spiritual weapon that they had bought at a huge price would be given to Li Xingyu for nothing.
However, this group of cultivators were intimidated by the power of the Xuanzhen Sect, and no one dared to tip off. Anyway, they were not familiar with Gao Xuan.
This person didn't know how to live or die and offended Li Xingyu. It was all his own fault. He couldn't blame anyone else even if he died.
The world of cultivators is sometimes so cruel and realistic.
At the same time, the shopkeeper who handed over the spiritual weapon to Gao Xuan whispered, "Fellow Daoist, the spiritual weapon is expensive and will cause trouble. I have a passage to leave from the back door of the ghost market. Do you want to see it?"
Gao Xuan thought for a moment and waved his hand: "The ghost market has its own rules. Whoever dares to rob here will have to grow several heads."
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, saying nothing more. He had said what he needed to say, and if the other party was stubborn, it would have nothing to do with him.
Gao Xuan fiddled with the white jade gourd for a while, and after a little practice, he had basically mastered it.
This spiritual weapon is very interesting. Apart from anything else, it is amazing that it can hold almost unlimited amounts of water.
Moreover, no matter how many water hyacinths are filled, they will not become heavier. However, the speed at which the gourd can absorb and release water is limited.
Gao Xuan studied it and felt that this thing was really useful when combined with the Tianshui Sect's secret method.
The white jade gourd is only the size of a palm, and is very delicate and beautiful. Gao Xuan casually hangs it on the silk ribbon around his waist, and it becomes a very beautiful ornament.
Gao Xuan took the white jade gourd and wandered around the ghost market until it was getting dark, then he found an inn to stay in.
The inns in the ghost market were naturally expensive. A day's stay would cost ten low-grade spirit stones.
If Yuanbao were to live here, she would be heartbroken.
Gao Xuan was now wealthy, so he didn't care about this little expense. He stayed comfortably for the night and enjoyed an expensive lunch at noon.
After eating and drinking, Gao Xuan slowly walked out of the main gate of the Ghost Market.
When Gao Xuan came out of the big locust tree, he met two men in black Taoist robes who blocked his way.
Although there were many cultivators coming in and out around them, judging from the postures of the three people, they were all hiding far away.
Gao Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Xuanzhen Sect?"
A man in a black Taoist uniform said, "Our Senior Brother Li invites you to come over and have a chat."
Gao Xuan smiled: "Okay, let's go."
The two men in black uniforms were a little surprised. They didn't expect Gao Xuan to agree so readily. They had originally prepared a long set of excuses.
After all, this is a ghost market. Even though the Xuanzhen sect is domineering, they cannot openly break the rules.
Two men in black Taoist uniforms urge a green wooden boat to board and invite Gao Xuan to board.
The Qingmuzhou and Jianglan were obviously of the same model, both were magical tools made by the Divine Craftsman Sect for traveling. They were very convenient and practical.
The Aoki boat sped for more than half an hour and arrived at a mountain peak.
Li Xingyu was standing there with his hands behind his back, looking down at the mountain scenery. When Gao Xuan got off the Qingmu boat, he turned around and smiled, "This fellow Taoist is really brave. I really admire him."
He asked curiously, "Which sect are you from?"
Gao Xuan did not answer this question. He asked instead: "What do you want to see me about?"
"My master likes to drink, and I want to give him the white jade gourd as a gift."
Li Xingyu smiled and said, "As long as you offer me the white jade gourd, I will let you go."
"After all this talk, it turns out you want to rob the treasure."
Gao Xuan sneered: "The famous Xuanzhen Sect is no more than this."
Li Xingyu said indifferently: "Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. The so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are nothing but human nature. We cultivators are not afraid of even the way of heaven, so how can we be bound by human nature?"
"It does make some sense."
Gao Xuan nodded and said, "And you are also very cautious and have invited two Jindan masters."
Li Xingyu smiled: "When doing bad things, you must always be cautious."
Gao Xuan also laughed: "You're right, we have to be more cautious when doing bad things."
As he spoke, he slapped the white jade gourd at his waist, and suddenly a large net made of black light rose up from all directions, and was about to cover Gao Xuan.
The invisible geomagnetic flame under Gao Xuan's feet turned, and he instantly broke away from the coverage of the black net like a stream of light and came directly in front of Li Xingyu.
The smile on Li Xingyu's face froze. He didn't even have time to think about it, and the Xuanyin Magnetic Lightning Talisman in his hand was about to be activated.
But he moved too slowly and his magic power circulated too slowly.
Gao Xuan is an assassin. After he condensed into a golden elixir, his magic power skyrocketed, and with the Nine Mountains Mysterious Dark Heavenly Clothes and the Vermillion Bird Ring, he could cast most of the three types of spells, earth, water, and fire, at the touch of a finger.
Just when Li Xingyu was about to activate the thunder method, Gao Xuan flicked his sleeves and thousands of cold rays shot out, instantly covering the entire group of people.
When faced with a magical attack, a thick black light like a shield rose from Li Xingyu's black Taoist robe and surrounded Li Xingyu.
Xuanyin Cover, this is also a spell blessed by his master Li Buyi himself. When encountering a strong magic attack, Xuanyin Cover will naturally be activated.
Thousands of cold rays were swallowed by the Xuanyin Cover, but the Xuanyin Cover was also torn into cracks.
The second wave of cold light shot out, instantly leaving dozens of white spots on Li Xingyu's body.
The mysterious icy energy penetrated into Li Xingyu's body, freezing his blood, internal organs, and soul.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xingyu turned into a freezing ice man.
The Mysterious Ice Needle was the most vicious spell in the Tianyi Sutra. Gao Xuan, who was at the Golden Core stage, could not block it.
If it weren’t for the Xuanyin Shield cast by Li Buyi, Li Xingyu would have died from the first wave of Xuanming ice needles.
As for the dozen or so Taoists behind Li Xingyu, they were all pierced by the Xuanming ice needles and turned into ice men on the spot.
"stop!"
Two men and women in black Taoist robes walked out from behind Gao Xuan, but they were a step slower, and everyone from Li Xingyu down was frozen to death.
The two Taoists were a pair of Jindan Taoists with sharp eyes. They could tell at a glance that Li Xingyu and the others were soul-destroyed and there was no hope of saving them.
The leading man's face turned pale: "Xuanming Ice Needle? Are you from Tianshui Sect?"
The man had an ancient face, broad shoulders and long arms, and carried a large sword on his back. He spoke in a deep and powerful voice, with the air of a master.
The woman standing next to the man was beautiful, with a pair of red copper wheels on her waist. She also had a serious look on her face, and her Taoist robe was shining with layers of light, obviously ready to attack at any time.
Gao Xuan had never seen these two, but he had heard of them. After all, there were not many Jindan Dao couples in Penglai Province.
He smiled at the two of them and said, "You two didn't tell me earlier, so I couldn't stop in time. Your cultivation is also a little lacking. You two are magnanimous, so I'm sure you won't blame me, right?"
The faces of the Jindan Taoist couple turned even uglier. Not only did this kid kill people, but he was also so mean! How hateful!
