Chapter 619: Failure, Back to Border Town

"Master, rest assured. Leave the protection of the law to Fox!"

Fox agreed seriously.

Chen Xuan nodded.

He thought that if he could really succeed in reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it would probably cause a huge commotion.

After realizing that it was difficult for Fox to ensure his safety alone, Chen Xuan simply had an idea and released all the monsters.

The Red-tailed Scorpion King, the Ice and Fire Dragon, the Purple Lightning Golden Roc, the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow, the Purple-winged Spirit Bat, and the Ten-patterned Spirit Python have all advanced to the late stage of Jindan.

The only thing was the Phantom Flame Moth that Chen Xuan had been feeding. Even though it had been handed over to Fox to be carefully fed by Chen Xuan during this period, its realm improvement was still slow.

As for the four-eyed demon spider that was still hatching in the cold pool, there was still no sign of hatching.

Chen Xuan couldn't rely on them to protect the law.

"Next, I may succeed in reaching the Nascent Soul stage, or I may fail."

"But no matter what the outcome, you must ensure the safety of the area around my cave. No one is allowed to approach."

"If you find anyone suspicious, kill them immediately!"

Chen Xuan gave an order and waved his hand immediately.

Soon, all the monsters flew away in an orderly manner.

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction, and with a thought he directly entered the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

After finding a place to sit down, Chen Xuanxian completely relaxed.

I carefully recalled my cultivation experience.

After his mind was completely free, he took out all the elixirs for refining the Infant-Nourishing Pill.

In addition, Chen Xuan also placed in front of his hands rare treasures such as Snow Plum Pills that could help increase the probability of condensing a Nascent Soul.

"It is much more difficult to reach the Nascent Soul stage than to reach the Core Forming stage. Any inattention to any subtle detail will lead to failure."

"Right now, my biggest reliance is the Peiying Pill. If that's the case, I'll refine the Peiying Pill first."

Chen Xuan muttered softly, urged the Cangling Cauldron to hurry up and refine the elixir.

About a few days later, Chen Xuan successfully refined two bottles of top-grade infant-nourishing pills.

At this point, Chen Xuan no longer had any hesitation.

With a thought, he activated the Soul Control Technique and threw a baby-nourishing pill directly into his mouth.

Wow!

The extremely pure medicinal power in Chen Xuan's body was also constantly being refined by Chen Xuan.

There was no obvious change in Chen Xuan's cultivation.

However, the spiritual power in Dantian is gathering more and more.

Chen Xuan didn't care about these at the moment.

Still seize the time to refine the infant-cultivating pill.

……

Half a year later, a terrifying calamity cloud suddenly appeared above the cave where Chen Xuan was in seclusion.

The terrifying aura was overwhelming.

All the immortal cultivators nearby were shocked and rushed out of the cave.

"Look, what is going on? Why would such a terrifying thunderbolt suddenly appear? Could it be that there are powerful monsters undergoing thunderbolts around our cave?"

"What powerful demon beast is going through a tribulation? This is clearly a thunder tribulation caused by someone reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

"What? There are seniors who are trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? However, judging from the situation, the success rate of the seniors in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage should not be high. There are only thunder tribulations, but no surge of spiritual energy. I think there is an 80% chance that they will fail."

Countless immortal cultivators were closely watching the changes in the calamity clouds in the sky.

After just a meal's time, the dark clouds of disaster suddenly dispersed.

Even the pitiful amount of spiritual energy that was attracted was completely dissipated in the Quyun Mountains.

Seeing this, countless immortal cultivators looked regretful.

……

In Quyun Mountains, in the cave where Chen Xuan lives.

Feeling the calamity clouds above his head rapidly dissipating, Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.

“Although I didn’t succeed in my attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage this time, I did gain something.”

"Especially this time, the experience of inducing thunder tribulation also has many points worth summarizing."

"Unfortunately, this breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage has caused quite a stir. It seems I can't stay in Quyun Mountains any longer."

"In that case, I should go back to the sect."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly and stood up immediately.

At this moment, his aura still remained at the great perfection stage of the late Jindan stage.

But the spiritual power in his body was obviously much stronger than before.

Even among the powerful people in the late stage of Jindan, Chen Xuan would be among the best just based on the strength of his spiritual power.

"Fox! Go call Miaoyu, we are about to set off." Chen Xuan said.

Soon, Hu'er brought Miaoyu to Chen Xuan's cave.

After knowing that Chen Xuan had failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Miaoyu became extremely cautious in her every move.

When Chen Xuan saw this, he smiled instantly.

"Don't be so nervous. It's normal to fail in the Nascent Soul stage. Since we failed this time, we should learn from our experience and try again next time!"

"However, after my failure in my attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can no longer stay in the Quyun Mountains. I plan to return to the sect."

"Miaoyu, do you plan to follow me back to the sect, or stay in Zhongzhou's cultivation world?"

Chen Xuan looked indifferent.

In the past, Chen Xuan decided to bring Fairy Miaoyu back to Yuling Sect because Fairy Miaoyu was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Being alone in Zhongzhou is really weak and pitiful.

Now, Miaoyu has advanced to the Jindan stage and is also a good alchemist.

With her status, even if she becomes a casual cultivator, she can still live a comfortable life.

Chen Xuan had no intention of restricting Miaoyu's freedom just because he was Miaoyu's master.

"Reporting to Master, I am still willing to follow you to the Yuling Sect. Although the immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou is good, it does not seem to be suitable for me." Miaoyu thought seriously for a while and answered cautiously.

Chen Xuan nodded: "In that case, go and pack up. We will leave Quyun Mountains in two hours."

"Yes, Master!"

……

Two streams of light shot out from the Quyun Mountains.

Soon it disappeared at the end of the sky.

It was Chen Xuan and Fairy Miaoyu.

Over the years, Chen Xuan has been staying in Zhongzhou, and his cultivation has improved a lot compared to before.

But his longing for the Yuling Sect and Wu Zhaomei became stronger and stronger.

"I haven't seen Mei'er and my fellow disciples from the Yuling Sect for so many years. I don't know how they are doing."

Chen Xuan sighed secretly, wishing he could appear in the Yuling Sect right now.

However, since Chen Xuan planned to leave Zhongzhou, there were some things he had to deal with.

Three months later, Chen Xuan and Fairy Miaoyu successfully arrived at Linbian City.

This is the border between Hulan Grassland and Zhongzhou.

Although it nominally belongs to the Zhongzhou immortal cultivation world, it is closer to the Hulan Grassland.

Fairy Miaoyu had never been here before. As a new arrival, she was very curious about everything.

However, Chen Xuan brought Fairy Miaoyu to the shops everywhere with ease.

As soon as Chen Xuan entered the door, he saw Tie Xiong, who was guarding the shops around him, walking out happily.

"Haha, Tiexiong has seen it..."

"Cough cough!"

Without waiting for Tie Xiong to finish his words, Chen Xuan coughed and said, "Daoyou Tie Xiong, I haven't seen you for such a long time. Your cultivation has improved quite fast. Now it seems that you are not far from the late stage of Jindan."

Before, Tiexiong was just a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.

But among the immortal cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan, they are also considered to be somewhat famous.

Since becoming Chen Xuan's slave, Tiexiong has been staying in Linbian City, managing the shops for Chen Xuan.

Because of this, his cultivation resources are much richer than before.

Tiexiong's cultivation has also improved a lot compared to before.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, isn't this all your credit? Come in quickly!"

Tiexiong greeted Chen Xuan happily and quickly invited Chen Xuan to the secret room in the Sifang shop.

hum!

After the formation light curtain opened, Tie Xiong quickly knelt in front of Chen Xuan.

"Tie Xiong greets the master! Congratulations to the master for successfully advancing to the late stage of Jindan and the great perfection realm."

Tiexiong congratulated Chen Xuan, but his mood was extremely complicated.

After all, Chen Xuan and he were both in the late Jindan stage before.

It has only been a short time since they last met, but Chen Xuan has already advanced to the great perfection realm of the late Jindan stage, while he is still in the middle Jindan stage.

"If you practice hard, you will have the opportunity to reach the late stage of Jindan and even the Yuanying stage in the future."

"To make a long story short, I came here to see how the shop is doing."

"How have the businesses in Sifang been doing while I've been away?"

Chen Xuan looked at Tiexiong with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Tiexiong hurriedly handed a jade slip to Chen Xuan.

"Master, this is the income and expenditure of the shop. According to your original instructions, although I don't interfere with the operation of the shop, I can see that the shop has developed very well in recent years."

"Especially the large amount of top-grade elixirs you left behind before you left, which has helped our Sifang Shop gain a great reputation."

"Many cultivators from nearby cities also came here because of its reputation."

Tiexiong excitedly talked about the business performance of Sifang shops over the years.

While listening, Chen Xuan checked the accounts of the shops in all directions.

After he finished looking, he was overjoyed to see that although the Sifang Shop was not run by him personally, it still made a lot of profit from spirit stones, spiritual medicines, and magic pills.

"In recent years, our Sifang shops have developed quite well. If I'm not mistaken, the City Lord's Mansion of Linbian City should have given a lot of support to our shops, right?" Chen Xuan said.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion of Linbian City also has shares in the shops around.

The good development of the shops in all directions will also be of great benefit to the City Lord's Mansion in the border town.

"Reporting to the master, the City Lord's Mansion has taken good care of our shops over the years. By the way, Madam Cui Ping of the Cui family has also taken good care of our shops." Tie Xiong said.

"Well, you need to continue to manage these relationships. These days, I will stay in seclusion in the Sifang Shop for a while and refine some pills for the shop."

"I will still give you the pills I made and sell them in batches. As for the low-level pills, I have also found an alchemist who will make some for our Sifang Pavilion."

Chen Xuan explained.

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "I will be going on a long journey in a while. However, I will also send a strong man to take over the Sifang Shop. At that time, you will still be responsible for protecting the safety of the Sifang Shop, and you don't need to interfere in the business affairs."

"Yes, Master!"

Tiexiong agreed and quickly said goodbye and left.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't say much.

He went to the warehouse of Sifang Shop in person, took out a large number of elixirs and magic pills, and asked Fairy Miaoyu to help make the pills.

Only a month later, Chen Xuan left a large number of elixirs to shops everywhere, and then he took Fairy Miaoyu and headed straight for Cangwu grassland.
