Chapter 1865: Multi-pronged approach, back to Jingyun Shop

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Tianmang, we have known each other for some time. I naturally trust your character! But, if I were to exchange my healing pills for just a word of loyalty from you, wouldn't that be a loss for me?"

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently. He was not in a hurry at all at this moment.

Tianmang Zhenren's injuries were very serious.

To an alchemist like him, it was nothing.

What's more, Chen Xuan still has a lot of mid-grade earth-level healing pills in his hands.

If Master Tianmang takes it, his injuries will heal very quickly.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

Tianmang Zhenren understood what Chen Xuan meant and asked quickly.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tianmang, I don't ask you to be loyal to me for your whole life. I only hope that you can work for me for 500 years. During these 500 years, I will provide some cultivation resources. However, I will place a restriction in your body. Only in this way can I fully trust you."

"This... Junior is willing to agree to Senior's conditions!"

"Very good. If that's the case, I will certainly not break my promise."

Chen Xuan nodded.

After a brief pause, Chen Xuan continued, "Every month, I will give you 500 low-grade immortal stones and a bottle of elixir to improve your cultivation or heal injuries. If you have the opportunity to advance to the Half-Step True Immortal, I will also provide you with some natural treasures to help you reach the Earthly Immortal realm!"

"But, within these five hundred years, you must conscientiously complete the tasks I assign to you. Do you understand?"

Chen Xuan's conditions made Tianmang Zhenren's heart beat fast.

He knew very well that it was impossible for him to obtain so many cultivation resources with his identity as a casual cultivator.

It is definitely a rare thing that Chen Xuan can provide him with so many cultivation resources.

It was enough to make him pledge his allegiance until death.

"Senior, I am willing!"

Tianmang Zhenren agreed without hesitation.

"very good!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

After placing a restriction on Tianmang Zhenren's body, he said, "Let's go to your courtyard and have a chat!"

"Yes, senior!"

Master Tianmang agreed and took Chen Xuan into the courtyard where he lived.

Everything in the courtyard was extremely simple.

Apart from a few secret rooms, there was nothing else.

There wasn't even a place to sit.

Chen Xuan glanced around and frowned slightly.

Upon seeing this, Tianmang Zhenren quickly explained with a smile, "Senior Chen, this old man's courtyard is indeed a little shabby. I hope you will bear with me!"

"It doesn't matter!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he pointed his finger in the air and directly created an anti-peeping barrier that covered himself and Tianmang Zhenren.

At this moment, Chen Xuan did not tell Tianmang Zhenren what to do.

Instead, he took out a bottle of healing pills and handed it to Master Tianmang.

"This is a healing pill, hurry up and refine it!"

"Yes!"

Tianmang Zhenren agreed and began to refine in front of Chen Xuan.

Not long after, after the first healing pill was refined, the injuries in Tianmang Zhenren's body had healed by more than half.

This made Tianmang Zhenren look very happy, and when he looked at Chen Xuan, his expression became extremely respectful.

"Senior Chen, your healing pill is extremely effective. If I can refine one or two more, the injuries in my body will be completely healed!" Tianmang Zhenren said excitedly.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly: "The quality of the elixir I give you is definitely extraordinary. However, the matter I entrust to you is not simple either!"

"Senior, you say!"

"I want you to quickly gather all the major events that have occurred in Luoxian City recently. Report to me in half a day!"

"This……"

"You can't do it?"

"It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it's too simple!"

"I don't care what method you use, I want to see results in half a day!"

"Yes, senior!"

"I'll contact you in half a day!"

After leaving a communication jade talisman, Chen Xuan left immediately.

Not long after he left, Tianmang Zhenren also took action and went to gather information for Chen Xuan.

Now, most of the injuries in Tianmang Zhenren's body have recovered.

He was operating in Luoxian City, so his safety was naturally not a problem.

The reason why Chen Xuan made this request was that he wanted to see how efficient Tianmang Zhenren was.

However, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to return to his cave at the moment.

After wandering around for a while, he rented an inconspicuous small courtyard as his temporary base.

Three cunning rabbit holes!

This is a must-have for any cultivator who collects intelligence.

After dealing with the matter, Chen Xuan took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and activated it on the spot.

Not long after, Huang Ling cautiously appeared outside the courtyard that Chen Xuan had just rented.

"come in!"

Huang Ling's expression lit up with joy, and he quickly walked into the courtyard: "Greetings, Senior!"

Chen Xuan's eyes swept over Huang Ling.

Seeing that Huang Ling's cultivation had improved a bit during this period and that she was not far from the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he smiled slightly.

"Your cultivation has improved quite rapidly recently. Could it be that you have encountered a new opportunity during this period?"

"Reporting to you, Senior, I have made such progress in my cultivation over this period of time thanks to the cultivation resources you provided me."

"Oh?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

But he didn't ask in detail.

Everyone has his own opportunity.

If Chen Xuan asked too much, it would only make others more disgusted.

Besides, Chen Xuan might not necessarily be interested in the rare treasures in the hands of a cultivator like Huang Ling.

"Did you gather any information when you came to me this time?" Chen Xuan asked directly.

Huang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Senior, this is the information jade slip I compiled, please take a look!"

Huang Ling agreed and quickly handed the three jade slips to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan didn't hesitate and checked it carefully.

He was surprised to find that the information Huang Ling provided him in the jade slip was very detailed.

He even recorded in detail the news about Luoxian City and the entire Tianmeng Mountains.

As for the truth of this news, Chen Xuan had no way to tell.

But he was in no hurry.

"Friend Huang, you did a great job this time. Just continue gathering information!"

"However, in my opinion, it would be difficult for you to collect a lot of useful information by yourself!"

"You can also hire some people to work for you. However, these people you hire must be people you trust. If there are any suitable candidates among them, you can recommend them to me!"

"If you hire someone, I'll pay you a few more low-grade immortal stones. How about three hundred low-grade immortal stones?"

Chen Xuan looked indifferent.

When Huang Ling heard this, his eyes lit up.

Thirty-eight low-grade immortal stones!

This is not a small number for many Mahayana cultivators.

What's more, these immortal stones were not distributed directly by Chen Xuan, but given to Huang Ling himself.

This also means that Huang Ling also has a certain amount of room for operation.

"Thank you, senior. I have no objection. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter!"

"Very good, then let's continue collecting intelligence!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He also paid Huang Ling half a year's salary before sending him away.

After dealing with the matter, Chen Xuan did not rush to leave.

Instead, he waited in the courtyard for an entire afternoon.

It was only when it was almost dark that Master Tianmang rushed back.

At this moment, he had an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Senior Chen, I've already gotten the information you requested. However, I feel that if I were to gather information for you alone, my methods would be somewhat limited. The authenticity of the information would be difficult to discern, and the amount would be rather small."

"So, I'm going to take the liberty of recruiting some subordinates to help me gather intelligence. What do you think, Senior?"

Tianmang Zhenren is different from Huang Ling. He is a genuine powerful person who has reached the late stage of tribulation and great perfection.

As long as you enter the Immortal Transformation Pool and transform the spiritual power in your body into immortal power, you can become a half-step true immortal.

By then, Tianmang Zhenren will also have the opportunity to advance to the Earthly Immortal realm.

It is precisely because of this that he is more aware of how important it is to be able to hold on to Chen Xuan's strong thigh.

Therefore, Tianmang Zhenren naturally works harder.

"Your idea is quite good."

Chen Xuan nodded and continued, "You can recruit people on your own to work for you. Of course, I will also cover some of the expenses. How about paying these people you recruit 500 low-grade immortal stones per month?"

True Man Tianmang was overjoyed.

"Thank you, senior. With your words, I feel more confident in doing things."

"Alright, go back and do your work for now. Send me a copy of the intelligence you have every three days. If there's any important news, feel free to contact me!"

"Yes, senior!"

Tianmang Zhenren quickly agreed.

Chen Xuan was not stingy either.

After giving Tianmang Zhenren three thousand low-grade immortal stones, he let him leave.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan did not rush to leave the courtyard.

Instead, he released his spiritual thoughts and activated his Tianhuan Yaomu to examine it carefully.

Make sure there is nothing unusual near the courtyard.

Only then did he change his appearance and aura and leave.

However, Chen Xuan did not return to the cave directly.

Instead, he came to Jingyun Shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a burst of crisp laughter.

"Hehe, Master Chen, it's been such a long time since we last met. You've actually advanced to the Earthly Immortal realm? From now on, I have to call you Senior Chen!"

The person who spoke was the Purple Flower Fairy from Jingyun Shop.

During this period, all the pills that Chen Xuan left in Jingyun Shop have been sold out.

Because the pills refined by Chen Xuan were of excellent quality, the reputation of Jingyun Shop also spread more widely among low-level cultivators during this period.

As a result, Jingyun Shop’s business is much better than before.

This time, when she saw Chen Xuan coming in, the Purple Flower Fairy hurriedly came up to greet him with a smile.

"Haha, fairy, you're too polite. It's better for us to be friends as peers!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

After chatting with the Purple Flower Fairy for a while, Chen Xuan and the Purple Flower Fairy came to a secret room.

After a while, when the two of them sat down, Chen Xuan flipped his palm, took out a storage bag and handed it to the Purple Flower Fairy.

What is contained in it is the elixir he refined.

The Purple Flower Fairy glanced at the storage bag and suddenly looked ecstatic.

"Master Chen, I will ask Master Qingyun to appraise the price. After that, will I pay you directly with immortal stones?"

"Haha, fairy, you don't have to pay me directly with fairy stones this time. I came here to buy some things."

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Seeing the Purple Flower Fairy's curious expression.

Chen Xuan continued, "I have just advanced to the Earthly Immortal realm and don't have any suitable elixirs to improve my cultivation. Therefore, I would like to ask the Fairy to help me purchase some elixir recipes. In addition, I have another matter that I need your help with."
