System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Bai Rong's fingers gently picked up the strip of paper taken from the landing tortoise shell and slowly unfolded it.

His gaze swept over the note, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a complex expression. "Lu Xueqi and Zhang Zhiwei resisted the most during the deduction, almost cutting off all the clues. But this Jiang Linglong is quite different; I actually managed to catch some clues."

At this point, Bai Rong shook her head slightly, a self-deprecating bitter smile on her face. "Alas, if I hadn't reacted quickly enough and changed the direction and method of the deduction in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to obtain even this little bit of information."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and emotion. "As for directly calculating their exact location, with my strength, it's simply beyond my capabilities. However, regarding Jiang Linglong, based on the causal connection between you and her, I deduce that there will definitely be news about her by the end of this year. As for other matters, I'm truly powerless to do anything about them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a surge of disappointment, as if the flame of hope that had just been ignited had been extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

But soon, he thought to himself that compared to the previous clueless situation, having such a clue now was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to express his gratitude, Bai Rong waved her hand, interrupting him, "No need for words. Failure is failure. The art of divination is about peering into the unfathomable heavens. Failure is common and nothing to worry about."

With that, Bai Rong casually waved her hand and handed the slip of paper to Chen Xuan. "Since we failed to deduce the complete result, let's just give up on the matter of securing a place for you in the Star Lord Ranking Battle."

“Senior…this divination not only damaged your magic weapon but also injured you. I feel truly guilty. How about I use the merit points on this merit card to express my gratitude, so that you won’t have wasted your time and energy?” Chen Xuan said sincerely, not wanting to owe this favor for no reason.

Although Bai Rong is usually unkempt and has a rather eccentric personality, she exudes a unique arrogance at this moment.

The result of this simulation was far from his expectations, so he naturally didn't want to lose Chen Xuan's 10,000 merit points for such a trivial matter. "No need to say anything more, you may leave now. With your status as a Level Two God-Slaying Guardian, those 10,000 merit points are enough to exchange for a lot of precious cultivation resources."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt even more admiration for the seemingly unruly senior before him. He bowed respectfully and said firmly, "I will remember your kindness, senior. If you ever need my help in the future, please just give the word, and I will do my utmost to repay your kindness. I will never forget your kindness today."

"Hahaha, you're quite an interesting kid. Go on, go on." Bai Rong laughed heartily, then waved his hand, signaling Chen Xuan to leave.

Chen Xuan clutched the slip of paper bearing Jiang Linglong's name as he slowly walked out of the hall. His steps were slightly heavy, and he still found it hard to believe that even a Transcendent Immortal skilled in deduction had failed. How could he possibly find his lost clansmen?

"Chen Xuan, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Master, they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

As soon as Chen Xuan appeared, Zhan Xin and Bai Li, who had been anxiously waiting nearby, rushed over. Their eyes were full of concern and worry, as if they would immediately rush up to demand justice if Chen Xuan had suffered even the slightest injustice.

Seeing the two of them looking so nervous, Chen Xuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he just shook his head with a wry smile. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go."
