Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 140: Seven Wonders of Star Shift
"Rootless water?"
After hearing the conversation between the three people, Qiao Yanran also showed a hint of surprise.
"You also know this thing?" Gu Xiaoxing communicated with Qiao Yanran through his spiritual consciousness.
Qiao Yanran nodded, and said with a little excitement: "This rootless water is an innate holy object. It is said that it can turn decay into magic and make people transcend the ordinary and become immortal. Young master, aren't you unable to condense the sea of qi in your Dantian?"
"If you can find this rootless water and drink it, there is a high chance that you can rebuild your wisdom, condense your energy into a sea, and build the third foundation of the Tao in your body!"
Gu Xiaoxing understood what Qiao Yanran said, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. The positive dantian, that is, his lower dantian which is now empty, if the rootless water is really as magical as the rumors say, maybe it can really allow him to build the third Taoist foundation!
"But... they said that half of the rootless water was taken away by the Monster King Meng Huai. Ahem... I ate the Monster King, so I didn't find any rootless water!"
Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself that it was not just the Menghuai Demon King, but all the demon pigs in the Menghuai Mountains had been eaten by him.
Qiao Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Although the Rootless Water is an innate holy object, the Demon King Meng Huai has already reached the Jindan stage, so it won't have much effect if he takes it. According to what the young master said, the Demon King should not have taken the half of the Rootless Water..."
Gu Xiaoxing was so smart that he immediately understood what Qiao Yanran said and said, "You mean... this demon king might have a cub, and he gave the rootless water to the cub. We just need to find their nest, and maybe we can find half of the rootless water!"
"Not bad!" Qiao Yanran looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a smile.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned by her glowing eyes and quickly looked away.
Qiao Yanran secretly laughed, but her beautiful eyes became even brighter. She looked at Gu Xiaoxing unconcealedly. The more she got to know this little master, the more fortunate she was that the person who saved her was him.
For Qiao Yanran, the flame left by Yang Tian was extinguished, but another seed was buried deep in her heart.
Gu Xiaoxing thought it was abominable that someone had "seduced" him so blatantly. He was thinking about how to retaliate against him, but he found that the three people in front of him suddenly left at a very fast speed. He hurriedly took Qiao Yanran's hand and chased after them.
Qiao Yanran was a little surprised at Gu Xiaoxing's speed. He was obviously only in the early stage of Jindan, but he could often lead her to travel a hundred miles in one step, and silently, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. Even she, who had reached the great perfection of Jindan, could not do that!
Thinking of this, the sense of wonder in Qiao Yanran's heart became even stronger. She recalled that when they were at the Foundation Establishment Mountain, he was just an inconspicuous disciple in the Soul-Devouring Sect, but now, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Especially every time Qiao Yanran recalled the nonchalant look that Gu Xiaoxing pretended to have when facing the Nascent Soul cultivator, she found it funny.
Unconsciously, the newly planted seed in Qiao Yanran's heart is taking root and sprouting...!
At this moment, Qiao Song and the other two were standing on a fan bone, which was whistling for dozens or hundreds of miles at an extremely fast speed.
"Senior Brother Qiao, are you really going back like this?" Although Ran Xiang said those angry words and didn't care about anything, if she really had to go back to receive punishment, she was not afraid, but she was still somewhat reluctant.
"Yes, Senior Brother Qiao, let's look for it again!" Another woman also echoed her sister, "The Sect Master is still waiting for us to go back and collect the complete rootless water!"
Qiao Song pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't look for it anymore. The monsters in the entire Menghuai Mountain Range will not disappear for no reason. It is very likely that the two people just now got the news from somewhere. Perhaps the other half of the rootless water is with them!"
Ran Xiang immediately understood what Qiao Song meant and said, "Brother Qiao wants to go back to the sect to get reinforcements and ask the sect master to take action personally? But if they leave, wouldn't our efforts be in vain? How about I stay and follow their movements?"
Ran Xiang volunteered, mainly because she hated Gu Xiaoxing and the other two, especially Qiao Yanran, and the jealousy in her heart was still there!
However, Qiao Song shook his head and said, "I always feel that those two are not that simple. Maybe even if the sect master takes action, he may not be able to capture them. Let's not take risks. Let's go back and let the sect master make the decision. The worst that can happen is that we will be scolded. That's no big deal!"
"Hmph...! Qiao Song, when did you become so fussy? What do you mean by 'the worst that can happen is I'll just get scolded'? You are shameless. I am a grown woman and I don't want to be scolded in public. Okay, it's decided!"
Ran Xiang refused to give in. She simply couldn't swallow that humiliation. Seeing that there was a chance for revenge, how could she let the two men go? So she flew out of the fan bone, turned back, leaving only a stubborn voice.
"You guys go quickly and come back soon. I'll follow them secretly to prevent them from running away!"
Qiao Song glanced at Ran Xiang's departing back and couldn't help but sigh. He had no choice but to give up and walked away in an instant with the fan bone.
Although Ran Xiang was thinking about revenge, after being reminded by Qiao Song, she became more cautious and did not return the same way, but took a detour.
But when Ran Xiang appeared near the valley cautiously and breathlessly, he was stunned for a moment and did not see anyone.
"Could it be that they discovered our intentions before and fled in advance?"
While Ran Xiang was confused, he was about to release his spiritual sense with all his strength to feel the energy they left along the way.
"Are you looking for us?"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind Ran Xiang. She was startled and trembled all over. She turned around suddenly, only to see two figures standing there at some point, with a half-smile on their faces.
Originally, Ran Xiang was somewhat skeptical about Qiao Song's words, but at this moment, she believed it completely.
Let me ask, if they are really only at the initial stage of Jindan and foundation building, how could they appear behind me so quietly?
As a Jindan cultivator, Ran Xiang reacted quickly. In an instant he had mobilized all his skills and paced forward to escape.
But Gu Xiaoxing reacted faster. He pointed his finger and lightning spurted out from his fingertips. Ran Xiang had just flown off the ground when the lightning had already passed through his shoulder at an astonishing speed.
Ran Xiang screamed miserably and her body immediately froze in mid-air. She felt as if countless thunders were surging in her body and was in extreme pain. But she was a Jindan cultivator after all. Seven spots of light suddenly appeared on her body and they connected into a line in an instant. With a flash, she was taken away and appeared a hundred miles away in an instant as if she had teleported.
Gu Xiaoxing showed a hint of surprise and took a step forward.
Ran Xiang was gasping for breath, still in shock. She had never expected that the young man with the same cultivation level as her would be so terrifying. If she hadn't relied on the Qiqiao Sect's famous skill, Qiqiao Star Shift, she would have been in danger!
It seems that what Senior Brother Qiao said was right. This person must have hidden his true cultivation level, and it is definitely not as simple as the initial stage of Jindan!
Surprised and suspicious, Ran Xiang looked back, and her face changed again immediately. Her Qiqiao Xingyi was not a fast-moving technique, but a flashing and teleporting technique that happened almost instantly.
The moment she turned around, Ran Xiang could imagine that Gu Xiaoxing was chasing after her, and might even be approaching her at a very fast speed, but she could never have imagined that at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was standing behind her, looking at her quietly.
There was no time to think about it. Ran Xiang appeared again a hundred miles away in a flash, and then immediately turned back, as if he had seen a ghost.
Gu Xiaoxing was still standing behind her, as if... he had always been standing there.
This feeling frightened Ran Xiang, and she used the Seven-Point Star Shift again without hesitation. This time, she flashed five times in a row and appeared five hundred miles away almost instantly.
The method of teleportation is supposed to be a magical power that only the Nascent Soul can perform, but the Seven-Point Star Shift can allow the Jindan to do this, and it allows the Jindan to perform seven consecutive teleportations in a short period of time, which can be said to be an extremely superior method of teleportation.
When Ran Xiang finished the remaining five moves in one breath, she felt deeply exhausted, but a sense of confidence also emerged in her heart. She didn't believe that the other party could still keep up with her. She turned back suddenly, and sure enough, she didn't see the other party this time. She thought that she had left him far behind.
Ran Xiang's heart relaxed a little, and she thought about getting away from this place first. She no longer dared to think of following such a person. It was too dangerous!
But when Ran Xiang turned her gaze back to the front, she was stunned, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes, because that person was just standing in front of her, still looking at her quietly, as if he had always been there!
"Your method of moving is interesting, but it is still inferior to my Fang Cun magical power. However, if you are willing to hand over this method, I can spare your life."
Gu Xiaoxing stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.
At this time, Qiao Yanran also arrived. She wanted to laugh when she saw Gu Xiaoxing pretending to be a master, but she felt that she couldn't ruin her young master's show, so she held back her laughter and stood silently behind him.
Qiao Yanran didn't have Gu Xiaoxing's magical power, nor did she have Ran Xiang's method of moving, so she could only fly over obediently, so her speed seemed to be slower.
But this scene still shocked Ran Xiang. She immediately realized that not only the man had hidden his cultivation, but this vixen was the same. What kind of perfect foundation building and being able to cross hundreds of miles in a few breaths? Even if she was in the late stage of Jindan, it might not be possible, right?
Thinking of this, Ran Xiang's heart immediately sank to the bottom. Knowing that she could not escape the cliff today, she made another plan. She would surrender first and then hold on until the sect leader came to rescue her.
“Please forgive me, sir. The Qiqiao Star Shift is the Qiqiao Sect’s unique skill and cannot be passed on to outsiders.” Ran Xiang was a man who knew the times. Seeing that he could not resist, his tone immediately changed 180 degrees from before. He even added a sentence for fear that the other party would misunderstand him.
"If you want to learn this method, you can only visualize the Seven Star Stone Wall in the sect to inherit it!"
"So, you don't intend to save your own life?"
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes. He raised his hand again and pointed.
