Beast Taming Tower

To the border town!

This is a city at the junction of Zhongzhou and Cangwu grassland.

Although it is small in scale, its geographical location is very advantageous.

That is why people and caravans enter and leave Linbian Town every day.

On this day, a streak of light suddenly shot towards Linbian City from the direction of Cangwu grassland.

Soon, the speed of the light stream slowed down significantly.

A young man who seemed to be in his early twenties, but exuded the cultivation of an early Jindan stage, appeared outside Linbian City.

"It took me five full years to get from Yuling Sect to Linbian City. If we go further, it will be the real Zhongzhou, right?"

The young man was filled with emotion.

It was five years ago that he set out from Yuling Sect, intending to go to Zhongzhou to find Chen Xuan, who had solved the problem of the evil spirit in his body.

Zhongzhou and Linhezhou are blocked by Cangwu grassland.

Chen Xuan, as an elder of the Yuling Sect in the Jindan stage, went to Zhongzhou alone.

When walking on the Cangwu grassland, one must naturally be very careful.

Even so, his whereabouts were discovered by a group of Hulan magicians.

Over the past five years, Chen Xuan has been hunted down by this group of Hulan magicians.

Fortunately, he had strong fighting ability and was able to break through the encirclement and escape successfully in every battle.

Even so, the continuous attacks over the past five years have made the evil spirit in Chen Xuan's body become more and more active.

Chen Xuan clearly felt that the evil spirit in his body had seriously affected his cultivation.

Even the speed at which the spiritual energy in his meridians circulated slowed down drastically at this moment.

The combat effectiveness is also not as good as before.

Fortunately, there are many powerful monsters guarding Chen Xuan.

Especially Fox, a demon beast in the late Jindan stage, helped Chen Xuan a lot.

Along the way, Chen Xuan encountered danger several times, and Hu'er personally took action to resolve them.

"Master, we have indeed reached Linbian City. Going further ahead, we will reach the real Zhongzhou. Then, Master can look for a method to remove the evil spirit of the Heavenly Evil."

Fox's voice came from beside Chen Xuan.

For safety reasons, Chen Xuan brought Hu'er with him and told Hu'er to be ready to take action at any time.

In addition, over the past five years, Hu'er has been responsible for gathering information.

The relationship between the two naturally became much closer than before.

"Indeed. However, the demonic energy in my body is having a greater and greater impact on me. If I don't hurry up and get rid of the demonic energy in my body, I'm afraid it will really affect the foundation of the Great Dao."

"In addition, during this period of time, I still cannot go all out. Otherwise, once the Heavenly Evil Qi breaks out, I will not be able to suppress it."

When Chen Xuan said this, he suddenly felt a lingering fear.

When he was on the Cangwu grassland, he was chased by a wizard named Hulan in the early Nascent Soul stage.

In order to fight this man, Chen Xuan used all his methods.

The evil spirit in the body was also completely aroused.

After that battle, although Chen Xuan successfully got rid of the Hulan Master, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage, with the help of Hu'er, the evil spirit in Chen Xuan's body became even more severe.

Chen Xuan clearly felt that now, as long as he activated his spiritual power, the evil spirit would spread throughout his body.

If this continues, it won’t be long before the evil spirit in Chen Xuan’s body breaks out again.

At that time, at best the foundation of the Tao will be destroyed, at worst the body will die and the Tao will be gone.

"Master, in my opinion, we should first enter Linbian City and hurry up to find a method to dissolve the evil spirit. Only by finding the method can we completely resolve the crisis in the master's body." Fox said.

Chen Xuan nodded, and with a thought, he put the fox into the Beast Taming Tower, and walked towards Linbian City alone.

As a cultivator in the Jindan stage, he would attract considerable attention wherever he went.

At this moment, the immortal cultivators who were preparing to enter Linbian City had already lined up in a long queue outside the city gate.

Especially those caravans that planned to enter Linbian City and then go to Zhongzhou, the queues stretched for dozens of miles.

Chen Xuan, however, walked slowly and came directly to the gate of Linbian City.

Before he could get over there, he saw two Foundation Establishment cultivators who were responsible for checking identities walking towards Chen Xuan at a rapid speed.

"Hello, senior. Where are you from? What are you doing in our Linbian Town?" said an old man in the late foundation building stage.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, and then said: "I am a casual cultivator. This time I came to the border town to find some spiritual medicines to improve my cultivation."

Before the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could speak, a Jindan Stage divine thought quickly fell on Chen Xuan.

Soon, an old man in the early stage of Jindan, wearing a green robe and holding a whisk, suddenly appeared beside Chen Xuan.

"Haha, I'm Old Taoist Tianyun, nice to meet you, Taoist friend!"

Taoist Tianyun's eyes swept over Chen Xuan.

For some reason, he revealed a strange smile.

Although Chen Xuan looked normal, his vigilance was instantly raised to the extreme.

"My name is Xuan Chen, nice to meet Taoist Tianyun!" Chen Xuan also said.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen. I have heard of your great name for a long time. As a Jindan-stage cultivator stationed in Linbian City, I am a little curious to see you queuing up at the city gate. If I am not mistaken, this is your first time to come to our Linbian City, right?"

Taoist Tianyun asked with a smile.

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that, Taoist Priest?"

"Haha, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you don't know. Not long ago, the Lord of our Linbian City invited fellow Daoists in the Jindan stage to come to Linbian City and participate in the Linbian Dharma Assembly. This is a grand gathering for the immortal cultivators near Linbian City."

“By then, not only will the immortal cultivators from our Linbian City come, but also many fellow Taoists from the three mountains and five peaks of Zhongzhou will come.”

"For a Jindan-stage expert like you, we can open the gates of Linbian City to welcome you. How can we let a cultivator of your status line up at the city gate?"

Listening to Taoist Tianyun's explanation, Chen Xuan suddenly smiled awkwardly.

During this period, he was hunted down by Master Hulan on the Cangwu grassland.

There is simply no energy to collect this information.

After hearing what Taoist Tianyun said, Chen Xuan became more interested.

"I misunderstood the Taoist priest just now. However, I saw that he is very elegant and graceful. He should be a cultivator from a big sect, right?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha, you are mistaken. My ancestors were from the Fahua Temple, one of the Three Pure Ones. Since the old ancestor passed away, we, the younger generation, have been worse than the previous generation. Although we have not lost contact with the Fahua Temple, we can no longer receive the attention and training from the Fahua Temple as before. Helplessly, I can only go out and come to Linbian Town to be a guest elder and get some cultivation resources."

Taoist Tianyun said this very calmly.

It seemed that for them, it was not difficult to accept that a powerful Jindan stage warrior like him became a Keqin elder in a big city.

In fact, these Jindan stage cultivators can completely put aside their identities as Jindan stage cultivators and do anything.

This made Chen Xuan feel deeply moved.

"If a cultivator like Taoist Tianyun were placed in the Linhezhou cultivation world, would he still want to be a Keqin elder in a small city? He would probably have already branched out and become the ancestor of a large family."

"However, this also shows from another perspective that the competition pressure on the cultivators in Zhongzhou is really great."

"Otherwise, a strong man like Taoist Tianyun would not have wronged himself to be a guest elder of Linbian City."

At this moment, Taoist Tianyun's voice sounded again.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, I just heard you say that you came to the border town to look for elixirs to improve your realm. Could it be that you are an alchemist?"

Taoist Tianyun looked curious.

This time, Chen Xuan had no intention of hiding anything.

He smiled faintly and said generously: "Daoist Tianyun has a keen eye and can tell at a glance that I am an alchemist."

"Oh?"

Taoist Tianyun's eyes lit up, and when he looked at Chen Xuan, there was obviously a hint of respect in his eyes.

No matter when, alchemist is the most sought-after profession among countless immortal cultivators.

Chen Xuan came to Zhongzhou this time, wanting to find an identity that could eliminate the evil spirit in his body. The identity of an alchemist is the best cover and social identity.

"Haha, I heard that Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen is already at the initial stage of Jindan at such a young age. It turns out that Fellow Daoist is actually an alchemist. If that's the case, I will definitely invite you to participate in our Linbian Dharma Assembly in Linbian City."

When Taoist Tianyun said this, he flipped his hand and took out a jade token.

The jade plaque is made of extremely rare Changbai Tianshan cold jade.

Holding it in the hand, a faint chill is constantly released.

On the front, there are four words "Linbian Fahui".

On the back is the logo of Linbian City.

"I don't have anything urgent to do right now. If I can attend the Linbian Dharma Assembly in Linbian City, it's not impossible."

"Since you have extended such a gracious invitation, Taoist Tianyun, I will respectfully obey your order."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly and took the jade token.

Chen Xuan carefully checked the jade token with his divine sense and put it away after confirming that there was no problem with it.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, since you are willing to participate in the Linbian Dharma Assembly, you are naturally the honored guest of our city lord. Come on, I will personally arrange a place for you to stay."

"To be honest, we have gathered quite a few fellow practitioners at the Jindan stage in Linbian City recently. It would be great if we could exchange our cultivation experiences together."

Taoist Tianyun enthusiastically took Chen Xuan directly into Linbian City.

Although Linbian City is not large in scale, its prosperity far exceeds any city Chen Xuan has ever seen.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of cultivation resources.

Moreover, the quality is very good.

The price is also much cheaper than the Xiuxian world in Linhe Province.

However, these things are extremely attractive to low-level cultivators, but Chen Xuan has no interest in them at all.

Following Taoist Tianyun, Chen Xuan quickly walked into the City Lord's Mansion which was specially prepared for these Jindan stage powerhouses who were participating in the Linbian Dharma Assembly.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, these small single-family buildings in front are where we have prepared accommodation for you in Linbian City."

"Every cultivator in the Jindan stage can have a small building to live in. Please come in, fellow Taoist!"

Taoist Tianyun smiled slightly.

Signaled Chen Xuan to go first.

Chen Xuan didn't hesitate and randomly picked an empty building and walked over.

However, when he just entered the small building, he was stunned by the scene before him.

"This... Taoist Tianyun, have you taken the wrong route? Are you sure this is the place for me to stay?"
