Chapter 1855: Surrender, unexpected news

At this moment, a familiar figure was being besieged by several Mahayana cultivators.

It was Hyacinth Huangling who had once taken Chen Xuan to buy things.

Over the years, Chen Xuan has been in Qingyoufang Market.

But he had never seen Huangling.

Seeing Huang Ling in such a mess again, Chen Xuan had no intention of taking action.

He stood quietly in the distance, watching silently.

"Huang Ling, if you dare to owe me immortal stones again, I will either grind you to dust or take your last name!"

"You bastard, you promised to return the 500 low-grade immortal stones to us in just three months. But it's been half a year now, and you still haven't returned the immortal stones. You're really asking for trouble!"

"Huang Ling, are you going to give me the immortal stone or not?"

All kinds of angry curses suddenly sounded from not far away.

Huang Ling, who was being beaten, was beaten black and blue.

Even one of his arms was chopped off.

"My fellow Taoists, please listen to my explanation. I have indeed been having some troubles lately. Otherwise, I would have returned the immortal stones I owe you long ago."

"Give me another six months, and I will definitely pay you back all the immortal stones I owe you!"

Those vicious cultivators would naturally not let it go after hearing this.

After a severe beating, everyone left.

Huang Ling, in a disheveled state, got up from the ground.

He showed a fierce look towards the departing cultivators.

"I, Huang Ling, will remember this vengeance. When I reach a higher level of cultivation, I will definitely avenge it!"

Huang Ling cursed inwardly and was about to leave Qingyoufang Market in a hurry when a figure blocked his way.

It’s Chen Xuan!

"Fellow Daoist Huang!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were calm.

Huang Ling suddenly looked up, and the moment he saw Chen Xuan, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Soon, he said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior. However, if you ask me to lead the way right now, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not looking for you to lead the way this time."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

With a casual throw, he threw a lower-grade heavenly healing pill directly to Huang Ling.

This made Huang Ling feel flattered.

"Is this... a lower-grade Heavenly Grade Healing Pill?"

Huang Ling was extremely surprised.

It is extremely rare for a Mahayana cultivator like him to have a tenth-grade elixir in his hand.

Now, Chen Xuan directly gave Huang Ling a low-grade heavenly pill.

This surprised Huang Ling greatly.

"Haha, it's just a healing pill. Take it quickly. I will protect you!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Huang Ling smiled gratefully and quickly sat on the ground to make a healing pill.

After a while, Huang Ling's injuries were completely healed.

Even the broken arm grew back.

However, Huang Ling himself also lost hundreds of years of cultivation.

Naturally, the color on his face was not as full as before.

"Thank you very much, Senior. This time, if you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have survived for long!"

Huang Ling looked at Chen Xuan with a look of gratitude.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Huang, there's no need to be like this. The last time we met was also in Qingyou Market."

"However, I am curious, who were those people just now? Why did they attack you?"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling immediately recounted his experience in detail.

Huangling!

He is just a casual cultivator making a living in Qingyou Market.

Over the years, Huang Ling, who is a hyacinth, has gathered some cultivation resources in order to further advance his realm.

Ask someone to make pills.

As a result, his alchemy materials were destroyed by an unreliable alchemist.

Not only did the elixir fail to be refined, but even the materials for refining the elixir were destroyed.

Because of this, Huang Ling's cultivation not only failed to improve, but he also owed others a large amount of immortal stones and had no way to repay it.

It was precisely because of this that Huang Ling was brutally beaten.

"So it's about this matter! I wonder how many fairy stones you owe those people?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, senior. Actually, I only owe them five hundred low-grade immortal stones." Huang Ling smiled awkwardly.

Five hundred low-grade immortal stones!

For a cultivator like Chen Xuan who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it is not a large number.

What's more, Chen Xuan has been staying in Qingyou Market for these years, although he has not done anything.

But every year, he would receive 10,000 low-grade immortal stones from the Changsheng Immortal Sect as activity funds.

In addition, he himself was worth a lot of money, so Chen Xuan didn't take these 500 low-grade immortal stones seriously at all.

"Just five hundred low-grade immortal stones? That's not a huge amount!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He glanced at Huang Ling and then said, "Friend Huang, do you have any other plans recently?"

"Reporting to the senior, my cultivation is low. I can only be a hyacinth in Qingyou Market. I have no other plans recently!"

"Haha, it seems that fellow Daoist is not planning to earn more immortal stones!"

"This... please give me some guidance, senior!"

"I'm in need of an errand runner lately. If you're willing, I can pay you 500 low-grade immortal stones per month. Are you willing?"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Five hundred low-grade immortal stones.

For Huang Ling, this is not a small amount.

It is enough for him to practice peacefully now.

What's more, he can receive 500 low-grade immortal stones from Chen Xuan every month.

This is simply pie in the sky.

However, Huang Ling was also very clear that since Chen Xuan was so generous, what he needed him to do was definitely not as simple as running errands.

But thinking about his current situation, Huang Ling did not hesitate.

"Senior, I am willing to serve you!"

"Very good. For safety reasons, I need to place restrictions on you. To ensure that you won't betray me. After all, you're doing things for me, and I don't want anyone else to know!"

"This……"

Huang Ling looked embarrassed.

If Chen Xuan placed a restriction on him, then his life would belong to Chen Xuan from then on.

It is not worth it to risk your life for five hundred low-grade immortal stones.

Chen Xuan naturally also saw Huang Ling's thoughts.

He smiled slightly and continued, "I can swear on my inner demon that the restriction I've placed on you will only last for two hundred years. After two hundred years, whether you want to continue to follow me is entirely up to you. How do you do that?"

Two hundred years is nothing to a Mahayana cultivator like Huang Ling.

Hearing this, Huang Ling suddenly looked ecstatic.

"Senior, if that's the case, I have no problem here!"

"very good!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He pointed his finger in the air and placed a restriction directly on Huang Ling's body.

From then on, as long as Chen Xuan had a thought, Huang Ling would explode and die in an instant.

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Xuan can completely trust Huang Ling.

Let him do things for himself.

"You can take these immortal stones and pills. I will naturally look for you when I need you!" Chen Xuan said.

"Thank you, senior!"

Huang Ling agreed, and when he saw that Chen Xuan gave him five pills to improve his cultivation and a thousand low-grade immortal stones, he was immediately excited.

Chen Xuan did not stay for long, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After returning to his cave, Chen Xuan carefully recalled his every move today.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with his words and actions, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Over the years, I have secretly investigated many people!"

"It's to prepare for the establishment of an intelligence network."

"Of course, the intelligence network I'm building must not only be able to gather intelligence, but also be able to collect natural treasures for me. It will aid me in my cultivation!"

"Right now, I can completely trust Huang Ling. As for Fairy Ziyun and Zifeng, we need to investigate further!"

"However, in addition to these three people, I also need to recruit more people to work for me. This way, I can collect more valuable intelligence!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he immediately returned to the Fairy Beast Tower and began to make the most of his time to refine pills for others.

After some busy work, Chen Xuan also entered the state of cultivation.

Over the years, Chen Xuan's cultivation has remained at the half-step true immortal realm.

But he clearly found that his understanding of kendo had become more profound over the years.

Especially in his comprehension of the Jiuxiao Sword Technique, he has made great progress.

Chen Xuan can now understand some of the content that he couldn't understand before.

However, Chen Xuan knew that if he wanted to fully master the Nine Heavens Sword Art of the early stage of Earthly Immortal, he had to wait until his cultivation reached the early stage of Earthly Immortal.

"Right now, there's still a year and a half left until the three-year deadline that Uncle Qinghua and I agreed upon!"

"After a year and a half, the intelligence network I set up must be activated as soon as possible."

"By then, I'm afraid I'll have very little time to practice."

"I hope I can successfully elevate my cultivation to the Earthly Immortal realm within this year and a half!"

Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of urgency made Chen Xuan feel suddenly more stressed.

But Chen Xuan did not disrupt his cultivation plan because of his current emotional fluctuations.

Still practicing according to your own plan, step by step.

Just one day later, Chen Xuan, who was meditating, was suddenly awakened.

Soon, he left the Fairy Beast Tower in a flash.

When he appeared again, he was already in his own cave.

At this moment, a huge fireball was quietly floating in his cave.

Chen Xuan pointed in the air out of curiosity.

The fireball in the void exploded with a bang.

Soon, a sound transmission note quietly floated in front of Chen Xuan.

Soon, Zifeng's excited voice rang out from the sound transmission note.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we have already found out what you asked us to find."

"What you need will be at the sweet potato auction in three days!"

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Haha, Fairy Zifeng and Fairy Ziyun are really efficient."

"In that case, I have to prepare well!"

"After all, the Sword Extracting Seven-Star Grass and March Spirit Spring that I need are not ordinary things. Now that I have news about them, I must prepare them well myself."

"What's more, there might be other good things appearing at this auction!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

After packing up his things, he immediately changed his appearance and aura and left the cave directly.

An hour later, Chen Xuan appeared in a shop that specialized in selling all kinds of rare treasures.

"Welcome to our Jingyun Store, Senior. How can I be of service to you?"

Before Chen Xuan entered the shop, a beautiful female cultivator with a charming figure came up to greet him with a smile.

Chen Xuan glanced at the female cultivator calmly.

Then he said, "Fairy, does your Jingyun Shop buy all kinds of natural treasures?"

When the female cultivator heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

His attitude towards Chen Xuan was also more attentive.

"Reporting to you, Senior, our Jingyun Shop naturally purchases rare and precious materials. If you have anything to sell, I will take you to our Jingyun Shop appraiser for an appraisal. How do you think?"
