CH 258

The sun, the moon and the stars were spinning fast. Between heaven and earth, light and darkness alternated.

Bai Lixin rotated the Ethereal Wood and Water Technique before exhaling and collecting his Qi, slowly opening his eyes.

“Congratulations, you have reached the maximum level for the Golden Elixir stage after ten years.” Feng Baixiao stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at Bai Lixin with a soft smile.

The sun shone on Feng Baixiao’s back, making his body glow with a hazy, ambiguous golden light. The originally angular cold face was softened by the light. Bai Lixin’s heart trembled inexplicably and he felt a sense of familiarity.

“This is as far as I can go. I’m finding it very difficult to advance further after reaching the Golden Elixir stage and my cultivation is stagnant.” Bai Lixin smiled gently and suppressed that strange stirring in his heart. He stood up and walked outside.

“You just need experience.” Feng Baixiao pondered for a moment and whispered to himself.

Feng Baixiao had brought Bai Lixin to this cave after arriving at the Upper Element Immortal world ten years ago.

There was a spiritual spring deep in this cave that was so full of spiritual energy that the cave was like a small spiritual circle. With the abundance of spiritual energy, Bai Lixin felt a sense of advancement and went into seclusion for ten years.

Within just ten years, he had advanced from the fifth level of the Golden Elixir to the Grand Circle of the Golden Elixir cultivation stage.

Feng Baixiao looked at Bai Lixin’s increasingly beautiful appearance and sighed, “If you have time, you should improve your alchemy skills. Your appearance is becoming more and more stunning, and there are no shortage of people in this world who take yin and supplement yang to help their cultivation. It would be inconveniencing if we were to go out like this.”

Bai Lixin froze. He looked down in thought and then pointed at himself and asked, “Are you saying I look like a woman now?

Feng Baixiao curled one side of his lips, but did not saying anything.

Bai Lixin’s cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Even if he wanted to make pills now, he did not have the necessary herbs to do so. So they had to go to the market.

When it came to going to the market, Bai Lixin realized that although he had been in this world for more than 20 years, he had become a real home squatter. His life trajectory was just a journey from one cave to another. A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead at this thought.

My God, no wonder I couldn’t find Dijia. Can Dijia fall from the sky onto my face?

“Pah!” There was a loud bang and something fell from the sky! A cloud of dust rose in front of Bai Lixin’s face, blocking their sight.

Bai Lixin was dumbfounded: “……” What the hell? It looks like something fell from the sky?

In the midst of the dust, a strange figure with a huge figure was seen flailing with its claws outstretched.

Bai Lixin couldn’t help but blurt out, “Who is this demon? Report your name as soon as possible!!”

Feng Baixiao almost stumbled and looked at Bai Lixin with a narrow gaze.

Bai Lixin held his forehead. He really wanted to curse so much that he accidentally said it.

The figure in the dust wavered for a few moments, and the flailing claws went on for a short time before it fell back to the ground. As the dust faded away, the two men took a step forward and saw the creature clearly.

It was not a monster, but a handsome young man. Bai Lixin had mistaken the two huge white feathered wings on his back for claws and teeth.

The young man looked no different in from a human being aside from the two huge feathers on his back. However, he was very large, more than twice the size of a normal person.

“Is he from the Sky feather clan?” Bai Lixin groped his chin, sizing up the fainted man and guessing.

Feng Baixiao nodded, “He should be.”

“Er…” Bai Lixin asked after a moment’s hesitation, “are all of the Heavenly Feather clan this ……ah…slender?”

“Probably. I’ve only seen a few of them, and most of them are of that size.”

“Well, then, the girl who met my master is also …… a member of the Heavenly Feather tribe.”

Bai Lixin unconsciously imagined a tall girl holding Daoist Yaxiao in her arms. It was very funny.

“Don’t you want to enter the Heavenly Feather Clan? What a way to get a pillow when you want to sleep. With this young man to guide you, are you still worried that you won’t be able to enter the Heavenly Feather Clan?” Feng Baixiao glanced at Bai Lixin.

“Yes, but why did this young man from the Heavenly Feather Clan suddenly fall from the sky? It’s as if he was struck down by someone.”

Feng Baixiao looked up at the sky, sneered and stood forward to shield Bai Lixin behind him, “It’s not “as if,” it is! Take this young man into the cave and don’t come out, someone is coming after him!”

Bai Lixin’s eyes flashed cold, and his divine sense swept the sky. He noticed two extremely fast cultivators rushing towards him. He didn’t dare to hesitate. He flipped his fingers and a bunch of vines grew out of the ground. The vines wrapped the young man and carried yhem to the cave and then covered the entrance, completely isolating it from the outside so outsiders could not see what was inside the cave, but Bai Lixin could feel what was happening outside through the vines.

In a short while, two people fell infront of Feng Baixiao and of them said in a loud voice, “Fellow Daoist, have you seen anything strange flying by?”

Bai Lixin could not help but glance at the young man. Anything strange ……?

Feng Baixiao said, “Yes, I saw it. It went that way.”

“Thank you, fellow Daoist, farewell.” The two cultivators seemed to turn around and leave, but just as Bai Lixin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the two suddenly revealed a killing intent and turned back to stab Feng Baixiao with their swords.

Feng Baixiao laughed loudly, bent to the ground, and countless vines rose up to protect him, “What are you two doing?”

“We saw the feathered man flying towards you, and you lied to us that he flew elsewhere. It’s obviously a ploy.”

“Haha, I thought you believed it.” Feng Baixiao laughed and pulled out his divine weapon, the three-bladed halberd, from his chest. He swept it at the two cultivators, sending them flying miles away.

How powerful!!!

This thought came to the minds of the two cultivators as they were hit on the ground.

How could this young cultivator, whose cultivation level was only at the Yuanying stage, be more powerful than then at the Exodus stage?

The two cultivators spat out a mouthful of blood, but Feng Baixiao looked calm and relaxed, not afraid of them at all. Not only that, he was played with the three-bladed halberd in his hand. In addition, he did not even seem to have used his full strength.

A powerful pressure was suddenly released from the three-bladed halberd, and the two cultivators who had just risen to their feet went to their knees by the pressure.

They were so shocked that they dared not continue to fight.

“I’ve offended you today, I’ll take my leave with an apology!” Seeing that things were not going well, one of the cultivators dared not stay any longer and gritted his teeth, giving up the feathered man he was about to get.

He grabbed his companion who had not yet regained consciousness by the arm, and fled.

The two fled a long way away and only after seeing no one behind them did the cultivator who had fainted spit: “Damn it, I was about to get my hands on a feathered man, but got blocked out of nowhere.”

“It’s a pity to give it up, but it would have been better if we caught a feathered man. We would have got a lot of spirit stones if we took him to the auction.”

“But we could have gotten even more stones! If we sold two feathered people; one man and woman at the same time, those rich and powerful people would buy and use them to breed them. Or we could breed them ourselves, and then sell as many as we wanted.”

“Don’t think too much, no one has seen a feathered man in their lifetime, we were lucky to have caught one.”

“Well, that’s all we can think about. Come on, let’s go to the auction house and see how much this feathered woman can fetch.”

The two cultivators meditated for a while to heal their wounds and then got up to head for the auction house.

They had just taken two steps when a powerful pressure suddenly fell from the sky. Without warning, the two men fell to their knees with a splash of blood.

In front of them, a cultivator in dark clothes floated in mid-air with a wine gourd floating up and down beside him.

“Venerable Xuanyuan? The two cultivator’s faces changed dramatically and they were horrified.

How could they be so unlucky today? They had thought that if they caught the feathered man too, they would be able to climb up the ladder of prosperity, but someone else had taken advantage of the feathered man they had just caught. They were about to sell the female, but then the great and powerful Xuanyuan descended from the sky!

There was unconcealed killing intent in his eyes. It was clear he intended to kill them both!

Venerable Xuanyuan had silver hair, and a long beard. He looked down on them like ants, “Give me the two Sky Feather children.”

The two men dared not disobey him. They immediately gave up the idea of selling the feathered woman. Spirit stones were valuable, but lives were more important.

They stumbled to release the Sky Feather maiden from the storage space, and the two cultivators begged, “Venerable Xuanyuan, if we had known of your interest in the Sky Feather clan, we would have offered this maiden to you a long time ago. How could we let you ask for her in person?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. There is only one of the Skyfeather clan here, where is the other one?”

“Venerable Xuanyuan, the feathered man is not with us, he has been snatched away by a brat. You must believe me, everything we say is true! We swear by the thunder of heaven that we have not lied in our words!” Afraid that Venerable Xuanyuan would not believe them, the two cultivators hurriedly made a Heavenly Thunder Oath.

Venerable Xuanyuan looked down at them and asked after a moment’s hesitation, “Where is the man who took the Sky Feather child?”

“Venerable, he is in that direction. A few hundred miles ahead is a hidden cave where he is hiding.”

Venerable Xuanyuan nodded, “ I will let you keep your cheap life today. Why don’t you get lost?”

The two cultivators were relieved to see that their lives were spared. They dared not hesitate and fled with their tails between their legs.

Seeing that the two had gone, Xuanyuan held up the wine gourd, sucked the still unconscious Sky Feather maiden into the gourd. He looked in the direction the two cultivators had pointed and flew towards that place with a flash of cold light in his eyes.
