Beast Taming Tower

"Botu Shop? Haha, this name is quite interesting!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, he asked Huang Ling to wait outside and went in directly.

A moment later, a beautiful female cultivator walked towards Chen Xuan with a smile.

"Hello, fellow Daoist. I wonder what brings you to our Botu shop?"

"Our Botu shop specializes in selling various classics."

"I'm Bingsan, the shopping guide at Botu Store. If you need any help, just let me know!"

The female cultivator called herself "Bing San". This name surprised Chen Xuan secretly.

His eyes quickly swept over the female cultivator.

When Chen Xuan saw the words "Bing San" written on the nameplate on the female cultivator's chest, he instantly realized that this was not the female cultivator's name, but her number in the Botu shop.

"I came to Botu Shop to buy some classics." Chen Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Bingsan giggled and swept a charming glance over Chen Xuan.

Her voice rang out again.

"If that's the case, fellow Daoist, how about you follow me to the secret room to discuss it in detail? The secret room in our Botu shop has a powerful anti-spying formation. Our inner communication is so powerful that even a powerful person in the celestial realm cannot peek in."

"As for us shopping guides... please rest assured, fellow Daoist, we can swear on our inner demons. We won't reveal a single word of what you communicated with us!"

Bingsan’s words immediately made Chen Xuan’s eyes light up.

"I never thought Botu Shop would be so thoughtful. No wonder Botu Shop has such an excellent reputation!"

"If that's the case, I'll naturally follow Bing San into the secret room for a good chat!"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself and nodded at Bingsan.

Soon, Bingsan smiled and led Chen Xuan in front.

Along the way, Chen Xuan saw many cultivators communicating with the shopping guides in the Botu store.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of these immortal cultivators, Chen Xuan also understood that the services of these shopping guides should make these immortal cultivators very satisfied.

A moment later, the two came to an empty secret room.

After Chen Xuan sat down, Bing San waved his hand and directly activated the anti-peeping formation of the Botu shop.

Out of curiosity, Chen Xuan secretly activated his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eyes to take a look.

He suddenly discovered that even with the power of his magical eyes, he could not see through the anti-peeping restrictions in the secret room.

This made Chen Xuan even more curious about the Botu shop.

"What's the origin of this Botu shop? Their generosity is rare in the entire Tianmeng Mountains, right?"

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "Haha, actually, what I'm most concerned about is still my own cultivation."

After a moment, without waiting for Bing San to ask, Chen Xuan explained his situation in detail.

Bingsan did not give Chen Xuan a direct answer.

Instead, after pondering it carefully for a while, he smiled and said, "I understand what you're saying, Daoist friend. Over the years, although you've transformed the spiritual energy in your body into immortal energy, you've never been able to find the opportunity to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even when you were comprehending the techniques of the Earthly Immortal Realm, you couldn't grasp the key points, right?"

Seeing Chen Xuan nod, Bing San said again: "In fact, Daoist friend's situation is also a common phenomenon in our True Immortal Realm."

"The reason why Daoist friend is in this situation is entirely because he misled himself during his cultivation!"

When Chen Xuan heard this, he was immediately surprised.

This was the first time he had heard of such a situation.

This made Chen Xuan even more curious.

"Fairy, I'm a little confused by what you said. Ever since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I've been practicing very smoothly. I've never had any confusion about cultivation."

"Besides, I believe my heart to follow the Tao is also very firm. How could I have misled myself?"

Chen Xuan looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Bing San burst into a sweet laugh and said, "Daoist friend, you've truly misunderstood me. When I said you'd misled yourself, I didn't mean your resolve to the Dao wasn't firm. Rather, I meant that during the course of your cultivation, your state of mind had changed, and you were completely unaware of it!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Daoist friend, this situation hasn't happened before when you were cultivating. This kind of bottleneck only occurs when you reach the great perfection of the late stage of the tribulation, right?"

When Chen Xuan heard this, he was immediately surprised.

"What the fairy said is very true!"

"Fellow Daoist, this is why I say you've misled yourself. Think about it, your cultivation was going very smoothly before. But after reaching the Great Perfection stage of the late stage of Crossing the Tribulation, your cultivation speed suddenly slowed down. Furthermore, you had to completely transform your spiritual energy into immortal energy. It's this long wait that makes you feel like your cultivation speed is slowing down, or even that you've hit a bottleneck. But that's not the case."

When Bingsan said this, he paused slightly.

Seeing Chen Xuan's curious expression, she explained again, "Actually, Daoist friend, you said your cultivation speed is getting slower and slower, but that's only relative to before. When you reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage like you and me, the difficulty of cultivation becomes increasingly greater. And in today's True Immortal Realm, the competition is also becoming increasingly fierce."

"Plus, we still need to spend a long time preparing to transform the spiritual energy in our bodies into immortal energy!"

"This will make many cultivators like you feel that their cultivation speed has slowed down a lot!"

"Therefore, many fellow Taoists will feel confused at this stage!"

Chen Xuan thought seriously for a while.

Think carefully about every word that Bingsan just said.

After confirming that what Bingsan said was exactly the same as what he encountered, he nodded seriously.

"What the fairy said is very true. Since the fairy knows my situation in such detail, you should also know how to solve it, right?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Bingsan nodded.

She flipped her hand and took out a jade slip.

"Fellow Daoist, what I just said is not my own opinion. It's just that the situation described in this Lingfei Heart Sutra is very similar to your situation. That's why I dared to say what I just said."

"If you really want to solve the problem you're facing, I recommend you buy this Lingfei Heart Sutra."

"It can help fellow Daoist avoid many detours when advancing to the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

There was still a smile on Bingsan's face.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at Bing San with admiration.

"Bingsan is only at the initial stage of the Tribulation Crossing stage. However, her knowledge of various classics far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level."

"It seems that these shopping guides in this Botu store are really capable!"

Chen Xuan secretly admired.

Soon, he asked again: "Fairy, how much is this Lingfei Heart Sutra?"

"A thousand pieces of low-grade immortal stone!" Bingsan said.

Chen Xuan frowned.

He knew very well that the Lingfei Heart Sutra was just a book to solve his current problem.

He actually wants to sell one thousand low-grade immortal stones.

This price is indeed a bit expensive.

Just as he was about to bargain, Bing San smiled and explained, "Fellow Daoist, please don't think the Lingfei Heart Sutra sold in our Botu shop is a bit expensive. In fact, the Lingfei Heart Sutra itself is only worth a little over one hundred low-grade immortal stones. However, I need to find the corresponding classics based on your situation, and I will charge a service fee. This service fee will cost nine hundred low-grade immortal stones!"

"Of course, if you feel you've been at a disadvantage, I can answer one question for you for free. What do you think?"

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Bingsan’s cultivation level is not very high, but she knows everything about cultivators.

Chen Xuan wouldn't feel at a disadvantage if he could have Bingsan answer a question for him for free.

"Since the fairy said so, I will buy this Lingfei Heart Sutra. However, the fairy said that you can answer one of my questions for free. Does that mean any question?"

"Of course!"

"If that's the case, I'd like to ask you, Fairy. Do you know anything about tower-type immortal artifacts? Of course, I'd like to ask those tower-type immortal artifacts that have special functions and are very famous!"

"This... of course there is!"

Bingsan nodded.

Soon, she told the story.

"In the entire True Immortal Realm, there are countless tower-type immortal artifacts!"

"There's the Five Elements True Thunder Tower, which can be used to release five-star true thunder. There's also the Soul Locking Tower, which can bind enemies. However, these towers are all imitations of the famous Ten Thousand Dao Tower."

"As for the relevant information about the Wandao Tower, we don't have it in our Botu shop. If you want to know more details, you can only ask elsewhere."

"Of course, the other place I'm talking about is the True Immortal Realm outside the Tianmeng Mountains."

Bingsan’s words instantly extinguished Chen Xuan’s hope, which had just been ignited.

He originally thought that he could ask Bingsan some questions about the Fairy Beast Tower.

But although Bingsan gave her some information, it was not very comprehensive.

In particular, Chen Xuan felt that the Fairy Beast Tower in his hand was very likely related to the famous Wandao Tower.

Unfortunately, there are no books on this subject in the Botu shop.

He could only keep all this in mind silently.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan inquired about some other things indirectly, and then readily took out a thousand low-grade immortal stones and gave them directly to Bingsan.

"Thank you, fairy, for clarifying my doubts."

Bingsan smiled slightly and handed the Lingfei Heart Sutra in his hand to Chen Xuan.

After carefully examining the immortal stone handed over by Chen Xuan and confirming that it was correct, he smiled and said, "If you need to buy classics in the future, just come to me."

"Haha, if there really is a need in this regard, I will definitely not refuse!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then turned and left.

A moment later, when he left Botu's shop, he saw Huang Ling still waiting for him outside.

"Senior, did you find what you needed in the Botu shop?" Huang Ling asked expectantly.

"I guess I've gained something. Next, I need to buy some kendo-related things. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Reporting to you, Senior, I do know of a shop like this. If you're willing, I can take you there to have a look!"

Huang Ling looked very happy.

Although he is a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, Chen Xuan's cultivation is far above his.

If he could gain Chen Xuan's appreciation this time, he would have found a great backer.

Even if he could not gain Chen Xuan's appreciation, as long as he could do a good job for Chen Xuan, he could still gain a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, Huang Ling dared not to be negligent.

Taking Chen Xuan with him, he hurried to the next shop.

After the two had walked for half an hour, Huang Ling finally stopped.

"Senior, although the location of this shop is a bit remote, it has a great background."

"Also, everything sold in this shop is related to sword cultivation. You can go in and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan showed a look of surprise.
