Beast Taming Tower

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we are all in the same hunting team, and we have contributed no less effort than Xiang Yunfei."

"According to my opinion, giving Brother Xiang two hundred low-grade spirit stones as a reward for purchasing the intelligence is enough."

"The extra portion you took from fellow Taoists should be shared among us, right?"

Niu Changgong looked anxious.

He urgently hoped to pull Chen Xuan to his side to attack Xiang Yunfei together.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan shook his head again with a firm look.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, I know my abilities. I am not dissatisfied with the distribution of spirit stones this time." Chen Xuan said.

Now, Niu Changgong's face turned extremely ugly.

After looking at Xiang Yunfei for a long time with complicated eyes, Niu Changgong sighed lightly.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that!" Niu Changgong said helplessly.

Xiang Yunfei sneered, put away his imposing aura, and distributed the spirit stones belonging to everyone.

Chen Xuan waved his hand and directly collected the 180 low-grade spirit stones.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xiang Yunfei called him.

"Is Fellow Daoist Chen in such a hurry to go back?"

"Xiang Daoyou, do you have something to say?"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly. He looked normal, but there was a hint of vigilance in his heart.

Xiang Yunfei smiled kindly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, our team has been staying in the market town of Qixia for more than two months."

"I guess you are not well off, right? If so, are you willing to follow me and go to Mount Qixia again?"

"This time, we are going to an ancient cultivator's cave. If we succeed, the spiritual stones each person will get should be twice as much as this time."

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to refuse.

He glanced at Xiang Yunfei, Zhang Wenqing, and Niu Changgong, and then asked in confusion: "Are there only four of us in this operation?"

"I also want to find more team members. Unfortunately, ever since our team was attacked last time, I can't trust others. We all know each other well, and we have been through life and death together countless times. I trust you." Xiang Yunfei explained.

Seeing that Chen Xuan still hadn't expressed his opinion, Xiang Yunfei said again: "Of course, I made this decision so that fellow Taoists can share more spiritual stones. Especially fellow Taoist Niu, he also needs to buy cultivation resources for Xiaoshan, how can he do without spiritual stones?"

The two reasons Xiang Yunfei gave are reasonable.

In an instant, Niu Changgong looked overjoyed.

However, Chen Xuan shook his head very calmly.

"I'm sorry, I've reached a critical point in my cultivation recently, and I'm afraid I can't go with you." Chen Xuan said.

Xiang Yunfei seemed to have expected this and smiled slightly at Chen Xuan.

"There is no rush for this matter. I will give Fellow Daoist Chen a month to consider. During this period, if you want to participate in this operation, just inform me at any time."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, Chen Xuan said again: "I swear by my inner demon that I will not leak a single word about this matter, regardless of whether I am involved or not. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan left the courtyard without even looking back.

Niu Changgong looked disappointed.

Soon, he also hurried away.

After Niu Changgong and Chen Xuan left for a long time, Xiang Yunfei suddenly waved his hand, and the protective formation in the courtyard was instantly activated.

At this moment, a cold light appeared in Xiang Yunfei's eyes.

"I thought he and Niu Changgong were planning to put pressure on us, but I didn't expect this guy named Chen to be so cautious."

Zhang Wenqing nodded in agreement.

"Chen Xuan has been keeping a low profile since he joined our hunting team. If he hadn't taken action last time and killed Madam Jia, we would have thought he was just an ordinary fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator."

For some reason, Xiang Yunfei suddenly smiled coldly.

"Although Chen Xuan did not turn against us this time, we still have to continue with our plan."

"Jia Longhu is outside the market, waiting for us to show up. If Chen Xuan really agrees to go to Master Hongyun's cave, you can spread the news that Chen Xuan has come out of seclusion. I think Jia Longhu should be very interested."

Having said that, Zhang Wenqing and Xiang Yunfei looked at each other, and both of them smiled meaningfully at the same time.

"Captain, you are smart. As long as Jia Longhu learns that Chen Xuan has come out of seclusion, he will definitely focus all his attention on Chen Xuan. Then, we can leave Qixia Town safely." Zhang Wenqing said with a smile.

……

The market town of Qixia.

Chen Xuan, who had just left the courtyard, was not busy renting a secret room for practice, but continued to practice in seclusion.

Just as he was strolling around, he saw Niu Changgong walking towards him with an anxious look.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

When Niu Changgong saw Chen Xuan stopped, he quickly sent a message to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan understood what he meant and immediately went to a remote place to wait.

Soon, Niu Changgong appeared in front of him.

"Brother Niu, what do you want from me?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have enough money? Lend me a hundred low-grade spirit stones. I want to buy some small essence pills for Xiaoshan to help him break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining and participate in this year's Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference."

Niu Changgong looked expectant.

Chen Xuan smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, didn't you also get 280 low-grade spirit stones just now? Isn't that enough?"

"Well, to be honest, I have been borrowing spirit stones from everywhere to make a living during this period. The 280 low-grade spirit stones I just got are only enough to pay off my debts. If I want to buy the Small Essence Pill, I have to find another way." Niu Changgong said with difficulty.

Chen Xuan did not agree immediately, and said meaningfully: "Fellow Daoist Niu, although you and I know each other, I cannot lend you my spirit stones casually."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you can lend me a hundred low-grade spirit stones, I will return you a hundred and ten when fellow Daoist Xiang and I come back from the ancient cultivator's cave. How about that?" Niu Changgong said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately looked curious.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Niu, you are so persistent in going to that ancient cultivator's cave, is there something good in there?" Chen Xuan said.

Niu Changgong's expression changed slightly, and he had no intention of explaining it to Chen Xuan in detail.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out a hundred low-grade spirit stones, looking at Niu Changgong with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Niu Changgong hurriedly said, "To be honest, the ancient cultivator's cave that I told you about is actually Master Hongyun's cave."

"Master Hongyun? Are you sure?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Master Hongyun!

One of the three famous independent cultivators.

It is said that before Master Hongyun's avenue was completed, he was active near the market town of Qixia.

To this day, the legend of Master Hongyun can be found in the markets of Qixia Town.

Some even said that Master Hongyun almost died during the Qi Refining Stage due to a lack of resources for cultivation.

Fortunately, he personally refined the Zengyuan Pill, which saved his life.

From then on, Master Hongyun not only successfully established his foundation, but also became one of the three great independent cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

It is possible that Xiang Yunfei and his team could find Master Hongyun's cave.

"If there really is a Zeng Yuan Pill in Master Hongyun's cave, this would be a great opportunity for me."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
