Second-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In theory, the True Yang Spear should be chosen.
However, even the Grandmaster-level True Yang Spear doesn't have much killing power against Yao Qingshuang.
Even if the True Yang Spear is raised to the Grandmaster level, how effective can it be against a second-tier demonic beast?
The True Yang Spear can only attack the divine soul of the Iron Scale Yao Tiger, its attack method and power have already limited the role of the True Yang Spear.
The Shadowless Garment, on the other hand, conceals the body, allowing for more initiative and dealing with more complex battles.
After weighing his options, Gao Xian chose the Shadowless Garment.
With a thought, he consumed 1917 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light, raising the Shadowless Garment to the Grandmaster level.
Shadowless Garment: Condenses mana into a garment that covers the entire body, transforming into a shadowless state, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities. (2000/2000 Grandmaster)
Lan Jie appeared and demonstrated the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Garment.
Gao Xian immediately understood that the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Garment would be more stable and possess strong protective abilities.
Even if the shadowless state is broken, the Shadowless Garment will exist in a transparent water-like state, providing protection to the body until the mana dissipates or is broken by external force.
The Shadowless Garment is more stable, making it less susceptible to interference or destruction by spells.
It is also less likely to be discovered by external forces.
It is easier to cast, can be instantly activated with a thought, but the mana consumption has significantly increased.
With limited time, Gao Xian couldn't test the protective strength of the Shadowless Garment.
He estimated that it should be similar to the Azure Cloud Hood of the Azure Cloud Robe, or even stronger.
It should be noted that the Azure Cloud Robe is a top-tier first-grade robe, expensive mainly because of its strong inherent protective ability of the Azure Cloud Hood.
The Shadowless Garment is just a very low-level minor spell.
To achieve this level, Gao Xian had to elevate the Shadowless Garment to the Grandmaster level.
In the vast world, there shouldn't be cultivators so bored as to train the Shadowless Garment to this level.
Moreover, his Shadowless Garment had been enhanced by the Fengyue Mirror, making it different from ordinary Shadowless Garments.
Seeing this, the myriad uses of the Grandmaster-level Shadowless Garment were not exaggerated.
Gao Xian once again displayed the Shadowless Garment.
This time, he could clearly feel a sense of toughness in the Shadowless Garment, without any sense of suffocation.
His various perceptions of the outside world, including absorbing spiritual energy and manipulating mana, were not restricted but rather enhanced to a certain extent.
With time running out, Gao Xian didn't have time to study the specific changes in the Shadowless Garment.
Following the scent left by Qiuniang, he quickly caught up.
At this moment, Zhu Qiuniang was hiding behind a pile of firewood, panting and catching her breath.
Using the Wind Riding Technique at full force had taken a toll on her cultivation.
She didn't know where the Iron Scale Yao Tiger was, but she could hear the various loud noises caused by the tiger's rampage, including the screams of some cultivators, all indicating that the Iron Scale Yao Tiger was rapidly approaching her direction.
Zhu Qiuniang quickly checked her body.
She was certain that someone had left a mark on her, otherwise, how could the Iron Scale Yao Tiger keep chasing her?
If not for that, how could the Iron Scale Yao Tiger keep chasing her? Today, the only unusual thing was being bumped into by a seven or eight-year-old child when she left home.
The child even touched her boot.
At that time, there were a few children playing, and she didn't pay much attention.
Now, she could see a small dark red stain on her Cloud-patterned cowhide boots, looking like bloodstains, or some kind of pigment.
However, Zhu Qiuniang did not detect any special aura on the stain.
Zhu Qiuniang took off the boot and threw it far away.
Her Primordial Golden Body was very powerful, with vigorous blood and energy, standing barefoot in the snow, she would not be affected by the cold for a short period.
If the boot could lure the Iron Scale Yao Tiger away, she could find a place to hide quietly.
If not, then it would be troublesome!
Zhu Qiuniang was thinking, when she heard a loud noise in front of her, followed by several cultivators screaming in horror.
She immediately knew it was not good.
The Iron Scale Yao Tiger was still coming straight for her, but it seemed to have broken through a roof and fallen in.
Zhu Qiuniang didn't dare to hesitate.
She once again activated the Wind Riding Talisman to leap over the wall and into another courtyard.
There were many cultivators and houses in the Feima Gathering, making it easier to evade and escape in such a complex environment.
If she escaped from the Feima Gathering into the open mountain forest, she would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Iron Scale Yao Tiger.
As for the life and death of other cultivators, Zhu Qiuniang couldn't care less at the moment.
This was the peripheral area of the Feima Gathering, where most cultivators were low-level independent cultivators.
If she wanted to shake off the Iron Scale Yao Tiger, she would have to go to the center of the Feima Gathering.
There were more cultivators there, and their cultivation levels were higher.
She just needed to be careful not to lead the tiger to Gao Xian's house.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiuniang accelerated her pace.
She didn't walk on the streets but specifically climbed over walls and roofs.
The Iron Scale Yao Tiger usually stayed in the mountains and forests and was very unfamiliar with houses.
It didn't know what could bear weight and what couldn't.
Following Zhu Qiuniang's scent, it left a trail of broken walls and collapsed houses in its wake, often colliding head-on with cultivators hiding in rooms, causing a mess.
However, the Iron Scale Yao Tiger was very clever.
After suffering a few losses, it became more cautious and chose to land on seemingly solid ground when leaping.
This way, the speed of the Iron Scale Yao Tiger increased significantly.
Zhu Qiuniang, who was sprinting ahead, could hear the sound of the Iron Scale Yao Tiger leaping behind her.
Feeling a bit desperate, Zhu Qiuniang threw out two Flame Burst Talismans.
One talisman turned into a fireball that exploded on a pile of firewood, and the other exploded on a wooden warehouse.
The firewood exploded, with many debris burning and shooting into the air like fireworks.
The wooden warehouse was blown to pieces, with various items flying everywhere.
The sudden burst of flames instinctively made the Iron Scale Yao Tiger slow down its speed.
It knew that these flames posed little threat to it, but out of instinct as a demonic beast, it still avoided the flames.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Qiuniang took out a Swift Symbol and slapped it on herself.
The symbol turned into a blue spiritual light that enveloped her whole body, making her feel slightly tightened all over, as if she was tightly wrapped in an invisible force.
This intense wrapping sensation made her muscles tense, her blood and energy flow faster, and the speed of her mana circulation increased significantly.
The Swift Symbol was a top-grade first-tier wood-element symbol.
After using the symbol, the wood-element energy penetrated the cultivator's muscles and organs, allowing the cultivator to unleash their full potential.
Due to its rarity and high price, most cultivators couldn't afford it.
Even Zhu Qiuniang only had two Swift Symbols on her for emergencies.
Using the Swift Symbol would enhance speed in all aspects, but this intense burst would also cause some damage to the body.
In this critical moment, Zhu Qiuniang couldn't care less about these consequences.
She had to shake off the Iron Scale Yao Tiger to survive.
Zhu Qiuniang activated the Swift Symbol to flee far away, creating a sudden burst of speed that put some distance between her and the Iron Scale Yao Tiger.
However, this small distance was far from enough to shake off the Iron Scale Yao Tiger.
Zhu Qiuniang knew it was not good, but at this moment, she had no other choice but to run with all her might.
Just as she climbed over a courtyard wall, she suddenly heard someone calling out to her from the front, "Qiuniang, come here, under this big tree."
"It's Gao Xian!" Zhu Qiuniang immediately recognized Gao Xian's voice, but she couldn't see where he was.
She knew that Gao Xian had the Shadowless Garment, which could conceal his presence, so she didn't find it strange.
Gao Xian actually ran over to help her at the risk of his life, which surprised Zhu Qiuniang greatly.
After the surprise came gratitude, followed by a hint of disdain.
What could a mere Qi Refining Stage Three cultivator do, even if he was fast with his sword? He was just causing chaos!
