Chapter 568 Rejection, Undercurrent

Master Xuyun!

This is a famous alchemist who lives near Linbian City.

It is said that when Master Xuyun traveled around Zhongzhou, he settled near Linbian City for a period of time.

This alchemist is different from most alchemists.

Not only was he an expert in alchemy, but he was also kind and generous.

As long as there is a cultivator who asks him for help, he will provide help to the best of his ability.

It is for this reason that Master Xuyun was so famous during his lifetime.

Unfortunately, even a famous alchemist like Master Xuyun could not resist the passage of time.

In the end, when the deadline came, he just passed away.

If Chen Xuan could enter the cave left by Master Xuyun, it would be of great benefit to him.

But Chen Xuan did not say it directly.

After thinking seriously for a long time, he smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for the invitation, fairy. I am not interested in this matter."

"This... is indeed my fault for being so abrupt."

Fairy Qianyun smiled apologetically.

After chatting with Chen Xuan about some other things, he said goodbye and left.

However, a long time after Fairy Qianyun left, Chen Xuan suddenly had an idea and called Hu'er over.

"Master, you're looking for me?"

"Well. Follow Fairy Qianyun. Don't let her find you."

"Yes!"

The fox agreed and left quickly.

Chen Xuan stood there quietly for a long time, and for some reason, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The cave of an alchemy master like Master Xuyun is so precious! Fairy Qianyun was willing to share it with me. This makes me suspicious." Chen Xuan said.

……

Near the border town, outside the shops on all sides.

Fairy Qianyun walked forward slowly.

After a moment, she disappeared into thin air.

When he appeared again, he was already in an inconspicuous shop.

At this moment, a white-haired old man was sitting quietly in the shop.

When he saw Fairy Qianyun coming, he frowned slightly.

"Qianyun, why are you here to see me now? Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?"

"Uncle, I have something I need to discuss with you. That's why I came to you in a hurry."

Fairy Qianyun hurried to explain.

The old man looked at Fairy Qianyun in surprise.

"Qianyun, you are a very capable person in the family. Over the years, the family has given you the right to operate the dark market, and you have run it very successfully."

"What on earth is the matter that makes you so anxious to come to see me?"

Having said that, he waved his hand and a cushion appeared in front of Fairy Qianyun.

Fairy Qianyun thanked him and then sat down on the futon.

"Uncle, you should know that an alchemist has recently appeared in Linbian City, right?"

There was an unprecedented solemnity in Fairy Qianyun's beautiful eyes.

Seeing the old man nodded, she continued, "Uncle, that Taoist Xuan Chen appeared out of nowhere in Linbian City, and helped Linbian City get a good ranking in the top ten in the Hundred Cities Conference. So, Qianyun suspects that this Taoist Xuan Chen is related to Master Xuyun."

"Oh?"

The old man looked surprised.

He looked at Fairy Qianyun for a long time before he smiled and said, "Given your personality, I'm afraid you have already tested this Taoist friend Xuan Chen. I wonder what the result was?"

"Uncle, you have a keen eye. This Daoist Xuan Chen is very cautious. He doesn't even dare to think about going to Master Xuyun's cave. This makes me a little unsure. Uncle, you are knowledgeable. Can you help me check and see if Daoist Xuan Chen is really not interested, or has he become suspicious of us?"

Fairy Qianyun described in detail the interactions between herself and Chen Xuan.

After listening to this, the old man thought for a long time, then smiled and shook his head.

"This Daoist Fellow Xuan Chen is cautious in his actions, which is obvious. But he is also a man who knows his limits. I think that even if he is related to Master Xuyun, would he still attack our family?"

"You should know that all those guys who followed Master Xuyun back then were wiped out by the family. Even if there were some that slipped through the net, they had little to do with Master Xuyun. Qianyun, you are overthinking it."

Fairy Qianyun frowned.

After a long silence, he nodded.

"What Uncle said is absolutely true. However, the origins of this Master Xuan Chen are mysterious, and we have not yet found out his specific identity."

"Uncle, should we take this person..."

Before Fairy Qianyun could finish her words, the old man kept shaking his head.

"It's not easy for the family to get to this point. Let's not create unnecessary trouble. If this Master Xuan Chen poses no threat to the family, then it's fine. If he dares to have other ideas, I will personally take action."

"Yes, uncle!"

Fairy Qianyun agreed, chatted with the old man for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

However, they didn’t know that when Fairy Qianyun left, a shadow also disappeared quickly along with Fairy Qianyun.

……

In the Sifang Shop, in the secret room where Chen Xuan lives.

A dark shadow quickly appeared in the secret room.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Fox, now that you are here, come out!"

"Huh? Master actually noticed Fox? Fox thought that Master couldn't see through my whereabouts."

Fox looked surprised.

Soon, she appeared in front of Chen Xuan with a sweet smile.

Chen Xuan did not respond, but looked at Hu'er.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, Hu'er hurriedly explained.

"Master, there is indeed something wrong with that Fairy Qianyun."

Chen Xuan looked surprised and motioned for Hu'er to continue.

After Fox told Chen Xuan the details of the conversation between Fairy Qianyun and the old man, a solemn look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Sure enough, Fairy Qianyun is not an easy person to deal with. I never thought that Master Xuyun's death was actually related to Fairy Qianyun's family. This is an unexpected discovery."

"However, Master Xuyun has already passed away. As an outsider, I naturally cannot avenge Master Xuyun."

"In the next period of time, we should keep a low profile to avoid getting into trouble."

After the fox nodded in agreement, he quickly went about doing other things.

After Chen Xuan carefully thought about the news that Fox brought back, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Fairy Qianyun? Haha, you'd better not provoke me. Otherwise..."

Half an hour later, after Chen Xuan finished dealing with the matters in the shops around him, he finally had some free time.

He thought for a moment and summoned Tiexiong over.

"I've met the master!"

Tiexiong stood in front of Chen Xuan with a respectful look.

Chen Xuan's eyes swept over Tiexiong.

Seeing that Tiexiong's aura was obviously much stronger than before, and that he was only a piece of paper away from the late stage of Jindan, he smiled with satisfaction.

"During this period, you have been practicing in the dark, and your cultivation has improved very quickly."

"However, from now on, I will have to trouble you to protect the shops in all directions for me."

"If you encounter trouble, don't show up. Go to the City Lord's Mansion and find Zhu Xun'er and his daughter. They have invested in our Sifang Shop, they can't just take the dividends for nothing."

Tiexiong smiled innocently and nodded repeatedly.

"Master, rest assured, I will do what you want."

"Well, in the next period of time, I will hurry up and refine a batch of pills."

"When the time comes, we will sell them all in the shops around us. Don't interfere with the business operations. Just be responsible for safety."

Tiexiong agreed and then left.

After Chen Xuan finished this matter, he returned to a secret room.

hum!

With a thought, the protective formation in the secret room was fully activated.

Chen Xuan did not hesitate and quickly entered the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

call!

All around, vast spiritual energy was rapidly gathering.

Chen Xuan ignored all this.

After finding a place to sit down, he took out the Soul Cauldron and countless spiritual medicines and hurried to make the elixir.

The business opened today and Chen Xuan’s orders have been scheduled for several days later.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xuan must hurry up to refine a large number of pills so that his Sifang shop can continue to operate.

As for the spiritual medicine needed for alchemy, Chen Xuan was not worried at all.

When the business opened today, Mrs. Cuiping from the Cui family came over in person to congratulate.

By the way, he also brought nearly a thousand thousand-year-old elixirs to Chen Xuan.

After Chen Xuan has refined all of this large batch of spiritual medicines into pills, they will be enough to run shops everywhere for a long time.

call!

The essence of Li Fire quickly appeared under the Soul Cauldron, and scorching heat burst out.

In just a moment, the temperature in the Soul Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for refining pills.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan tried many things at once.

While controlling the Soul-Cangding Cauldron, he was selecting spiritual medicines.

In a moment, he threw the spiritual herbs one by one into the Soul Storage Cauldron.

Half an hour later, the first batch of pills was successfully produced.

With Chen Xuan's alchemy level, the elixir he refined would naturally be of top quality.

However, the large-scale sale of top-grade elixirs is not a good thing for Chen Xuan.

It will definitely allow someone with ulterior motives to follow the clues and find him here.

Although Chen Xuan was not afraid, he found it troublesome.

Naturally, I don't want this to happen.

Therefore, Chen Xuan also asked Zhu Xun'er to buy a batch of pills made by others for him and sell them in shops everywhere.

of course!

The main purpose of Chen Xuan setting up the Sifang Shop was not just to earn spirit stones.

Instead, he was paving the way for the Yuling Sect to establish a complete intelligence network in Zhongzhou.

With his current wealth, there are many ways for shops to make money from spirit stones.

However, it is not an easy task to cultivate a group of trusted people in Zhongzhou.

After half a year in the Beast Taming Tower, Chen Xuan finally refined a large amount of spiritual medicine into pills.

At this moment, there were hundreds of bottles of pills placed in front of him.

Among these elixirs, there are elixirs needed by cultivators in the Jindan stage, and there are also elixirs needed by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

But, these pills are all top-grade pills.

"With so many top-grade elixirs, we naturally can't sell them all in a short period of time. We must control the sales volume. We must do it slowly and steadily."

"Also, I have almost finished handling the operation of the Sifang Shop. Next, I should go find the Lord of Linbian City and discuss the Haoran Zhengqi Jue technique with him."

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the pills he had made and left the Beast Taming Tower.

After a while, Chen Xuan handed the pills to Tie Xiong.

He went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
