Beast Taming Tower

Chapter 2522 Reunion of Old Friends, Request

The old man's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, then he chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, are you mistaken? I am merely a small vendor in Qulin Market who specializes in selling immortal talismans. My cultivation is not high, and what I know is only trivial matters within Qulin Market. I'm afraid you will be disappointed if you inquire about information from me, senior!"

The old man's words indicated that he was politely declining.

But Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you all asked me what I wanted to ask you, so why are you so quick to refuse?"

"This... Senior is too kind. My cultivation is low, so I naturally cannot be too arrogant. When facing a strong person like you, I must be even more cautious in order to have any chance of survival!"

The old man explained with neither arrogance nor servility.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan glanced at the old man again.

Seeing that the aura emanating from the old man was indeed that of an early-stage Celestial Immortal, he immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, what I'm inquiring about actually has some benefits for you as well. You might as well listen before making a decision!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he pointed his finger in the air.

Wow!

A huge soundproof light shield completely enveloped Chen Xuan and the old man.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I won't make things difficult for you, nor will I let you do anything dangerous. I'm just quite interested in the talisman master behind you who is skilled in talisman crafting!"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, if you could make the connection, it would be wonderful if we could meet!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he flipped his hand, and a bottle of pills that could enhance cultivation immediately appeared in his hand.

"If you agree, this bottle of pills is yours!"

The old man appeared to be only at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

But their taste is quite good.

When he saw the elixir that Chen Xuan took out emanating an incomparably pure and rich medicinal fragrance, his cloudy eyes immediately lit up.

"Senior, is this... alright?"

"Hehe, as long as you're willing to act as a go-between, of course there's no problem!"

Chen Xuan laughed.

"Thank you, senior. However, I can only guarantee to pass on a message to that talisman master. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do!"

"Fellow Daoist, that's all you need to do. As for that Immortal Talisman Master, whether she's willing to meet me or not, let her decide for herself!"

"Yes, senior!"

The old man agreed.

He happily put the elixir away.

Little did they know, just as the old man was putting away the medicine bottle, an inconspicuous insect appeared.

It sprang out from underground and hid directly on the old man.

And they completely disappeared.

After finishing his task, Chen Xuan chatted with the old man for a few more minutes before leaving with Xue Hong.

After Xue Hong led Chen Xuan through the Qulin Market, Chen Xuan paid ten high-grade immortal stones before sending Xue Hong away.

Next, Chen Xuan wandered around Qulin Market by himself for a while.

Once he was sure there were no tails following him, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, Chen Xuan, disguised, had already changed his appearance and aura using the Heavenly Demon Mask.

He transformed into a burly, scarred-faced man.

"I wonder where that girl, Daiyu, is hiding. But as long as that old man is willing to see Daiyu, I'm sure I can find her soon!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.

……

Xingyuan Island, on an inconspicuous street.

The old man, who had just returned from setting up a stall in Qulinfang Market, walked straight into a dilapidated courtyard.

He was the same old man who had met Chen Xuan not long ago.

However, the old man did not go to find the talisman master who had provided him with the talisman, but instead stayed quietly in the courtyard for a full day and night.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual outside his courtyard.

The old man then left under the cover of night on the third night.

A moment later, the old man appeared on a bustling street.

This is not a market town, but the location of the most expensive cave dwelling on Xingyuan Island.

When the old man arrived at the central cave dwelling, he flipped his hand, took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then activated it.

However, the communication talisman seemed to have vanished into thin air, and there was no response for a long time.

Unbeknownst to them, two young female cultivators were gathered in the cave, closely watching the old man's every move through a huge array of light screens.

One of these two young female cultivators was none other than Fairy Yu Luo, who had brought Chen Xuan to Star Origin Island not long ago!

"Fairy Zhu, you must be extremely careful during this time. Not only is that bastard Wei Tianhong trying to cause you trouble and steal the immortal talisman inheritance from you, but there are others who are also eyeing you."

"Not long ago, I went to the Boundless Sea, but was besieged by the powerful warriors sent by that bastard Wei Tianhong."

"If it weren't for a fellow Daoist's intervention, I probably wouldn't have made it back."

"However, the guy who saved me seems to be quite interested in you, Fairy Zhu."

"If you don't have anything to do during this time, please don't go out."

Fairy Yu Luo explained with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the young female cultivator smiled slightly.

"That's interesting. I'm such a low-key person, yet I still managed to be targeted. But what's meant to be will be.

"Wei Tianhong has contacted me privately many times because of the Immortal Talisman Master inheritance I possess!"

"He's exhausted every means at the moment."

"Not long ago, they even sent someone to deliver a challenge to me!"

"Hehe, if I continue to hide on Xingyuan Island, he will find me sooner or later."

"In that case, I might as well go out and meet him!"

As the female cultivator finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The next instant, her gaze swiftly locked onto the old man on the light screen.

“Zhou Changlong has been loyal to me all these years. However, the timing of his visit to me this time is rather strange. Could it be…”

The female cultivator frowned slightly as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yu Luo looked at the old man's figure and smiled coldly.

"Rest assured, Fairy Zhu, if that Zhou fellow dares to betray you, I will be the first to punish him!"

"However, Zhou Changlong has already sent you a communication talisman. If you don't want to see him, I can send him away."

Fairy Yu Luo said coldly.

"No need, let him in first. I also want to see what Zhou Changlong is up to today."

The female cultivator smiled slightly and immediately pointed her finger in the air.

Soon, the protective array in the cave quickly opened a passage.

The fairy Yu Luo, who was standing next to the female cultivator, suddenly disappeared in a flash.

A moment later, Zhou Changlong arrived at the female cultivator's cave with practiced ease.

He bowed to the female practitioner with utmost respect.

"Greetings, Senior Zhu."

"Hmm. It's not time to retrieve the Immortal Talisman yet, why have you come to see me so early? Do you need my help with something?"

The female cultivator asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changlong's expression changed drastically.

He quickly explained with a look of fear, "Fairy Zhu, please calm down. It's not that I'm breaking my promise. It's just that some things have happened in Qulin Market these past few days!"

"Not long ago, someone actually tried to meet the fairy through me."

"However, that fellow Daoist doesn't seem to be one of Wei Tianhong's people."

"Therefore, even I am not sure whether the fairy wishes to see him!"

At this point, Zhou Changlong seemed to remember something, and immediately flipped his hand, taking out a jade bottle and handing it to the female cultivator.

"Fairy Zhu, this is the reward that man gave me. It's actually a bottle of extraordinary quality pills!"

"He's very generous. Much better than Wei Tianhong's despicable henchmen!"

"I'm just worried that people's hearts are unpredictable. Although that person is generous, he might secretly try to kill you, Fairy Zhu!"

"Therefore, the reason I have come here in person is to ask you, my fairy, to make a final decision!"

As Zhou Changlong spoke, he handed the jade bottle in his hand to the female cultivator.

The female cultivator's beautiful eyes swept over the jade bottle.

He immediately looked surprised.

Soon, a deep look of joy appeared on her face.

"No way? It's that heartless man? He... he's actually on Star Origin Island too?"

The female cultivator was overjoyed.

The next moment, she looked at Zhou Changlong with delight and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where is the person who gave you this bottle of pills right now?"

"This... Senior, please calm down. I was afraid that person intended to harm you, Fairy. So, I deliberately hid for several days before coming to inform you. Therefore..."

"Is there... any way to contact him?"

"If the fairy truly wishes to see him, this junior can wait for him in the market. I believe he will come looking for me again!"

"Alright!"

The female cultivator nodded.

Her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

The next instant, she tossed the bottle that Chen Xuan had given to Zhou Changlong to him with a flick of her wrist.

"Keep this bottle of pills safe. It was a gift from an old friend of mine," the female cultivator explained with a smile.

However, before Zhou Changlong could even say thank you...

A bug about a foot in size suddenly scurried out of his body.

Soon, Chen Xuan's voice also rang out from among the insects.

"Little Fairy Zhu, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

"Senior, let's go!"

Zhou Changlong's expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to unleash his immortal power to attack the Gold-Eating Insects, he was stopped by the female cultivator.

"Nonsense! Get out of here!"

"Yes, senior!"

After Zhou Changlong agreed, he awkwardly retreated behind the female cultivator.

At that moment, the female cultivator's excited voice rang out again.

Where are you?

"I'm right outside your cave!"

"Well... then I'll come out and meet you!"

The female cultivator was overjoyed.

The next instant, she appeared outside the cave.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was standing quietly outside the cave.

Upon seeing the female cultivator rush out of the cave, they were filled with joy.

He immediately laughed and said, "Little Fairy Zhu, I never expected that we would meet here."

Before me stood a female cultivator skilled in crafting immortal talismans, none other than Zhu Xun'er.

The moment Zhu Xun'er saw Chen Xuan, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.

"Hehe, I didn't expect we'd meet here either. But then again, the coincidence between us is quite something!"

Zhu Xun'er looked at Chen Xuan with delight, although she seemed much more composed than before.

But the innocence between her brows has never faded.

This was especially true when he saw Chen Xuan.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to my cave first!" Zhu Qianxi said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan did not refuse and entered Zhu Qianxi's cave with her.

However, the two had just sat down.

Chen Xuan's calm voice immediately rang out.

"Fairy, will you come out yourself, or should I invite you out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xun'er's beautiful eyes flashed with undisguised surprise.

The next moment, she quickly explained, "Brother Chen, don't misunderstand. Fairy Yu Luo and I are very close friends!"

Chen Xuan looked astonished.

When he arrived at the cave, he had already sensed the presence of Fairy Yu Luo.

However, he couldn't figure out why Fairy Yu Luo was hiding here.

That's why he directly revealed Fairy Yu Luo's whereabouts.

Soon, Fairy Yu Luo walked out looking embarrassed.

"It's quite a surprise to meet Fellow Daoist Chen here with Fairy Zhu!"

Chen Xuan looked at Fairy Yu Luo with a half-smile: "Fairy, you probably already guessed that I came to Star Origin Island with you to find Fairy Little Zhu, right?"

"I must say, you are indeed very cautious."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yu Luo's pretty face immediately turned bright red.

Seeing this, Zhu Xun'er smiled and pulled Fairy Yu Luo to her side.

Mei glared at Chen Xuan, feigning anger, and said, "You really are something. Fairy Yu Luo did this for my safety. However, now that you're here, I have a favor to ask of you. You wouldn't refuse, would you?"
