Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 82 Green Snake Evil

The Gao family took root in Cuizhu Mountain, ten miles away from the county seat of Qingyuan County.

This mountain is hundreds of feet high, with a gentle slope. There is a spiritual cave there, which is nourished by spiritual energy all year round. Mangosteens grow everywhere, stretching like a sea. Even if it rains continuously, its beautiful scenery is not affected at all.

"Zixuan, don't you think the weather has been getting weird lately?"

Looking out from a high place and watching the continuous rain, Gao Siyuan, the head of the Gao family, spoke. He was dressed in green, thin, with completely white hair bound with a white jade hair crown, loose skin, sunken eyes, and looked like a dying wood.

However, few people in this huge Qingyuan County dare to look down on him. He has made an indelible contribution to the Gao family's current success.

Before Gao Siyuan's rise, although the Gao family was already a Qi-training family, the strongest person in the family had only achieved a small level of Qi training. It was Gao Siyuan who brought the Gao family step by step to its current position, making it one of the top three families in Qingyuan County, and qualified to be compared with the two old families, the Lu family and the Wen family.

You must know that the Lu family is the real tyrant in Qingyuan County. The Lu family contributed a lot to the development of Qingyuan County. The Wen family moved here from the royal capital and has an equally good foundation. It is not easy for the Gao family to get to where they are today.

When the young man standing next to Gao Siyuan heard what he said, he glanced at the sky and showed a little annoyance on his face. His face was pale, like white paper, without a trace of blood. His face was long, his long hair was naturally slightly curly, and his eyes were narrow and long, with a faint green hue in them, which was quite strange.

He is Gao Zixuan, the cultivation seed of this generation of the Gao family. He is of the same generation as Lu Xuanping, but his cultivation is even higher than Lu Xuanping. At the age of 24, he has already achieved perfect inspiration and is only one step away from practicing Qi.

"Uncle, are we just going to let the Dangjiang bandits go? Iron Man Butcher is still a dog of our Gao family. The Lu family's actions are completely a slap in the face of our Gao family. And that Taiping Sect, it's obvious that they are deliberately supporting it..."

Feeling angry, Gao Zixuan expressed his dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Gao Siyuan slowly turned around.

"Then what do you think is the appropriate thing to do?"

His eyes fell on Gao Zixuan, and Gao Siyuan's expression was extremely calm, with no sign of joy or anger.

Their eyes met, and Gao Zixuan felt the calmness in Gao Siyuan's gaze. The fear that was almost engraved in his bones resurfaced. The words that were on the tip of Gao Zixuan's tongue could not be uttered, and in the end he could only lower his head silently.

The moment Gao Zixuan lowered his head, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gao Siyuan's eyes. He wished Gao Zixuan could argue with him.

"Don't go looking for your Third Uncle if you have nothing to do. He's never tamed the dog Tie Ren Tu. He deserves to be caught and killed this time. My Gao family has only been rising for a short time. What we need to do now is not to compete with the Lu family, but to consolidate our own strength."

"As for the Taiping Sect, it's just a dilapidated sect founded by a wandering cultivator in the early stages of Qi training with the support of the Lu family. They call themselves an immortal sect, but they don't even have enough cultivators to count on their fingers. How can they possibly achieve anything?"

"You are the cultivation seed of my Gao family. All you need to do now is to concentrate on your cultivation. When you have achieved perfection in Qi training, or even established a foundation for the Dao, then you can do whatever you want, and no one can say a word against it."

Gao Siyuan gave another serious reminder.

Hearing this, Gao Zixuan responded sullenly with a "yes".

"Uncle, I'm going to practice."

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Gao Zixuan fled.

Watching Gao Zixuan leave, Gao Siyuan couldn't help but sigh. "Am I doting on him too much? If I fall, who will support the Gao family?"

Looking at the future of the Gao family through Gao Zixuan's figure, Gao Siyuan's vision suddenly became a little blurred. It must be said that Gao Zixuan did have some talent for cultivation. If he could calm down, not to mention practicing Qi, even practicing Qi to perfection would be possible. However, his character was a little lacking.

"Zixuan's personality makes him unsuitable as the head of the Gao family. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is still the most important thing. As long as he has enough strength, all of this will not be a problem. All I have to do is hold on as long as possible and protect him from the wind and rain."

A layer of blue appeared on his face, but Gao Siyuan suppressed the pain by trying hard.

When everything returned to calm, a drop of sweat slid down Gao Siyuan's temple. At this moment, his body seemed to be hunched a little more.

"The weather has been really weird lately. If it continues like this, the Qingyuan River might flood. But I don't need to worry about this. The real headache should be for the County Magistrate's Office. I just don't know what the reason is."

"It's the Five Immortals Mountain that's more worthy of my attention. It seems a spiritual object that can be used to forge a foundation for the Dao was born there. I just don't know who it ended up in the hands of. Could it be her?"

"If it's really her..."

Looking at Wuxian Mountain and thinking of a possibility, Gao Siyuan's mood fluctuated violently. Anger, hatred, entanglement and other emotions flashed across his loose face one by one, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Everyone always compares my Gao family to the Lu and Wen families. Even some fools in my family think so. But how many people know that the Gao family today is fundamentally different from the Lu and Wen families? The reason why the Gao family has reached its current status is only because the county governor's office or the imperial court needs it."

"The royal family and the immortal cultivation families co-rule the world. They are both unified and conflicting. The dynasty's attitude towards the local areas has always been to divide and balance. The Wen family originally moved from the capital to Qingyuan County for this very reason. However, as time passed, the relationship between the Wen and Lu families became more harmonious, which is something the court did not want to see."

"It is precisely because of this that our Gao family has achieved its current status. However, this high-rise was built too quickly, leaving hidden dangers. If we are not careful, the building will be destroyed and people will die. Although the incident of the Dangjiang bandits this time is minor, isn't it also a sign that the Lu family is unwilling to tolerate it any longer?"

As thoughts collided, Gao Siyuan felt a stronger sense of crisis. Others only saw the glory of the Gao family, but only he saw the crisis beneath the glory. Until today, every step he took was like walking on thin ice.

"We need to address the Dangjiang bandits, otherwise the County Magistrate will probably not be satisfied. However, we also need to be careful not to overreact from the Lu family. Although the County Magistrate's words are nice, we can't really rely on them, otherwise my Gao family will be wiped out without knowing why."

"Just reaching the Great Success stage of Qi training is still not enough."

Gao Siyuan suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind, regained his composure, looked at the sky again, turned around and walked into the place where he practiced. This place was hidden in the belly of the mountain. Countless bamboo roots were intertwined here, giving rise to a thin layer of green evil spirit, which was the Green Snake Evil.

The Gao family occupied a spiritual cave, and the representative spiritual object was the green-scaled bamboo or green snake bamboo. This kind of spiritual bamboo had good texture and could communicate with spirits. If the fire was high enough, it would be a good material for refining magic tools, and this was just its obvious function.

This green snake evil spirit was also derived from the green snake bamboo forest after being watered with secret methods, and it is itself a spiritual creature.

Coming to this secret place in the mountain, Gao Siyuan sat cross-legged on a cushion and began his own practice.

As time passed, wisps of green snake evil began to gather towards him, and every time a wisp of evil entered his body, Gao Siyuan's face turned paler. This green snake evil was a spiritual creature but also a poisonous creature. When it entered the body, it would cause heart-wrenching pain. If the person could not endure it, the evil would really enter his heart and he would die suddenly. It could be said that every time of cultivation was a gamble with his life.

Even if one endures it, it will still shorten one's lifespan over time. However, correspondingly, it will also weaken the barriers of the acupoints to a certain extent, making it easier for cultivators to open up acupoints and improve their cultivation. The Green Snake Evil has made an indelible contribution to Gao Siyuan's successful rise. He has never been the kind of genius in the eyes of ordinary people.
