Seeing Chen Xuan's shocked expression, Fuxi said with a smile, "Back then, I played the zither for you for ten years. Among the Spiritual Beasts you attracted, about twenty gained sentience.

Later, only ten remained; the others went into Mount Buzhou to cultivate.

Then, because of your coma, some more left, and in the end, only these four remained.

Perhaps this is their destiny. During the thirty years you were in a coma, they took meticulous care of you.

They also absorbed a trace of the Power of Creation and their cultivation has reached the Heavenly Immortal realm.

If they hadn't been suppressing their cultivation, they would have transformed long ago.

Now you intentionally make things difficult for them, but it has turned into helping them achieve their goals. This time, you probably won't be able to avoid taking them to Kunlun Mountain."

Hearing Fuxi's words, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Thirty years of protection, yet I have to repay it with endless years. This is the so-called cycle of cause and effect."

Chen Xuan returned to Kunlun Mountain, and accompanying him were the four Spiritual Beasts from Kunlun Mountain.

Of course, Chen Xuan still followed the original script and named them Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Jin Guang Xian, and Wu Yun Xian respectively.

Along the way, Chen Xuan still didn't change his nature, which was to collect all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he encountered.

So, the journey took a full thirty years. On this day, Chen Xuan finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Before Chen Xuan could even go up the mountain, he saw a small fatty waiting eagerly at the foot of the mountain. It was none other than Daoist Duobao.

When Daoist Duobao saw Chen Xuan, he rushed over with great excitement.

"Duo Bao pays respects to Senior Brother, I salute Senior Brother." After speaking, he bowed to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan reached out and helped Daoist Duobao up, then asked, "How have you been on the mountain these past few years? Has Master taken in any new disciples?"

Daoist Duobao shook his head, "Senior Brother, you don't know. In the past hundred years, only Duo Bao has been on the mountain. I'm almost bored to death."

Hearing that Tongtian hadn't taken in disciples indiscriminately, the worry in Chen Xuan's heart finally subsided.

Although Chen Xuan didn't intend to stop the Intercepting Sect from having myriad immortals come to court, Chen Xuan had another plan, which was that it wouldn't be so easy to join the Intercepting Sect.

Then Chen Xuan introduced the four, Qiu Shou Xian, to Daoist Duobao, and together they headed towards Kunlun Mountain.

"Oh right, is Senior Uncle satisfied with the Plate-Horned Ox I prepared for him?"

It was fine not mentioning the Plate-Horned Ox, but as soon as it was mentioned, Daoist Duobao's face was filled with bitterness.

"Senior Brother still has the nerve to mention that Plate-Horned Ox. It was clearly a mount prepared for Senior Uncle, why didn't you tell me, your Junior Brother, in advance?

I rode him for nearly a hundred years. Now it's good, this fellow will complain to Senior Uncle whenever he gets a chance. Because of this, I've been punished by Master quite a bit."

Chen Xuan smiled and patted Daoist Duobao's head, "That's because you made a mistake, otherwise even if he wanted to complain, how could he complain?"

Chatting and laughing along the way, in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Three Pure Ones' Daoist palace.

Before Daoist Duobao could even report back, Tongtian's voice came from within Shangqing Palace.

"You finally decided to come back. I thought you had forgotten about Kunlun Mountain long ago."

Chen Xuan smiled and scratched his head, "Master, what are you saying? I can forget anyone, but I can never forget you, Master."

"That's why this disciple specifically chose four attendants for you from Mount Buzhou. Master, please see if you are satisfied?"

With a flash of clear light, Chen Xuan and the other six appeared in Shangqing Palace.

At this moment, Tongtian was seated high on a cloud bed, observing Qiu Shou Xian and the other three.

"Not bad, each of them is a Spiritual Beast from Mount Buzhou, a unique existence in the Great Desolate Land. They are indeed qualified to be my attendants.

Since Chen Xuan has brought you back, you can stay by my side and be Attendant Immortals from now on."

Tongtian did not refuse and directly kept Qiu Shou Xian and the other three by his side.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to say something else to Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun's voice rang out.

"Chen Xuan, three hundred years have passed. It's time to come to my place and learn the Yuqing Artifact Dao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at Tongtian, who shook his head with a helpless expression. "Go, otherwise your Second Martial Uncle will lecture me again."

Seeing Tongtian's helpless look, Chen Xuan could only bid farewell to Tongtian and turn to go to Yuqing Palace.

For the next three hundred years, Chen Xuan stayed in Yuqing Palace and did not come out. He wholeheartedly followed Yuanshi Tianzun to learn the Yuqing Artifact Dao.

However, the things Chen Xuan refined made Yuanshi Tianzun quite helpless.

Although the levels were not low, some even reached the level of Postnatal Spiritual Treasures.

But these Spiritual Treasures had no offensive power. Most of them were vessels for holding liquids, and some were pots and stoves.

"Three hundred years, and you've only learned this in three hundred years?" Yuanshi Tianzun said with a helpless expression, clearly disappointed.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded at Yuanshi Tianzun. "Second Martial Uncle, this is all thanks to your careful guidance. Otherwise, this Universe Iron Pot and Sun Moon Stars Stove, this disciple would never have been able to refine them."

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, wishing he could slap Chen Xuan down with one palm.

At this moment, Chen Xuan somehow produced some leaves.

He lit the Sun Moon Stars Stove and placed the Universe Iron Pot on the stove. He began to carefully stir-fry the leaves.

As the leaves were stir-fried in the Universe Iron Pot, a pleasant fragrance filled the entire Yuqing Palace.

"This is a Dao Questioning Tea Tree that this disciple obtained by chance while traveling the Great Desolate.

This tea tree has six branches, and the tea leaves on each branch are different. They are divided into black tea, green tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, white tea, and dark tea.

Today, what this disciple is stir-frying for Second Martial Uncle is the green tea among them, called Dragon Well Tea."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the Dragon Well Tea was successfully stir-fried by Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a jade jar flew up, collecting all the Dragon Well Tea into it.

Then Chen Xuan held the jade jar in his hand and came before Yuanshi Tianzun.

Immediately after, Chen Xuan waved his hand again, and a tea table, a teapot, six teacups...

All the tea-making supplies were complete. Finally, Chen Xuan took out a few pieces of Dragon Well from the jar and put them into the teapot.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun smelled a fragrance, he didn't know what Chen Xuan was going to do.

At this moment, Chen Xuan took out a pot of Three Lights Divine Water and said with a smile to Yuanshi Tianzun, "Second Martial Uncle, please taste the flavor of this Dragon Well Tea."

After speaking, he tossed the Three Lights Divine Water into the air, and when it returned to Chen Xuan's hand, it was already boiling.

As the boiled Three Lights Divine Water was poured into the teapot, the fragrance became even more intense.
