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

After calming himself down a bit, Chen Xuan forced a smile and said, "I've been a member of the God-Slaying Guard for half a year now, but I haven't had a chance to properly explore this place yet. I wonder what kind of cultivation resources I can get with these merit points."

Although Chen Xuan didn't say it explicitly, Zhan Xin and Bai Li understood perfectly well that the result was bound to be unsatisfactory. Zhan Xin was filled with regret and wanted to comfort Chen Xuan, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Bai Li's eyes reddened slightly. She knew all too well that the search for her clansmen and disciples was like a heavy boulder weighing on her master's heart. She also knew how much hardship her master had endured for this matter.

Watching her master Chen Xuan walk silently forward, Bai Li's figure flashed, transforming into a small black snake, which lightly coiled around Chen Xuan's wrist, as if giving him warmth and strength in this way.

Zhan Xin quickly walked to Chen Xuan's side and quietly stayed with him, without saying anything more, just expressing his silent support through his companionship.

As he passed the Hall of Immortal Slaying, Chen Xuan paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. But soon, he resolutely stepped inside.

"Chen Xuan, are you going to take on another capture mission?" Zhan Xin asked through telepathy after following Chen Xuan into the Zhanxian Hall.

Chen Xuan simply nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face, before looking up at the enormous scroll in the hall. Within the scroll, information about the capture of wanted criminals flickered like dancing flames.

Before long, relying on his experience and judgment, Chen Xuan selected a special target from the numerous wanted individuals. As he slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the Level 2 Merit Card, the information about that mission was clearly displayed on his identity card.

Everyone had witnessed Chen Xuan being taken away by Zhou Ming. Now that Chen Xuan had returned looking dejected, the other God-Slaying Guards who were familiar with him all tried to inquire about the situation through telepathy.

Chen Xuan simply smiled and responded to each question, skillfully deflecting their questions. Everyone understood that even though Chen Xuan had met the most respected figure in the God-Slaying Guard's Immortal-Slaying Hall, he ultimately failed to achieve his wish, which explained his frustration.

After accepting the special mission, Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin left the area of ​​the Zhanxian Palace.

In the eyes of many of the God-Slaying Guards, this mission was undoubtedly a false message deliberately released by Chen Xuan to mislead everyone.

The target location for this operation to apprehend the wanted criminal happened to be in Qushan, a million miles away. As members of the God-Slaying Guard, it was perfectly normal and reasonable for them to choose to stop and rest for a while during their long journey.

The fact that Chen Xuan informed the other God-Slaying Guards of this news was actually a prelude to his brief return to the tribe.

After leaving the area of ​​the Immortal Slaying Hall, Chen Xuan headed straight for the place where the God-Slaying Guards often gathered.

It was a narrow street, yet the shops on both sides exuded an air of authority and mystery. Each shop had its own guards, and some even had one or two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Xuan, now a Level Two God-Slaying Guard, held a much higher status than the other inner guards who had cultivated their way up from the Innate Realm. As he and Zhan Xin entered the street, a woman in green, with a warm smile on her face, quickly came to greet them.

She first bowed respectfully, her movements elegant and proper, and then asked in a soft voice, "Lord Tushenwei, do you wish to exchange for magical treasures or divine weapons?"

Led by the woman in green, Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin entered a seemingly inconspicuous divine weapon shop.

As soon as they stepped into the shop, a familiar divine sense swept over their bodies like a gentle thread, confirming their identities.

Immediately afterwards, in the display cases in the spacious area of ​​the shop, one after another exquisite divine weapons and magical treasures came into view.

These magical artifacts are not crudely made, mass-produced items. Each one has been meticulously crafted, inscribed with various mysterious Daoist runes and radiating an alluring light, clearly indicating their superior quality.

Chen Xuan slowly walked to the display case, looked down and carefully examined the various divine weapons that had been shrunk to the size of a palm, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"With my current status, if I were to exchange for a large number of Earth-rank flying swords, I wonder what kind of preferential treatment I could enjoy?" As he spoke, Chen Xuan took out the yellow card that represented his status as a Level Two God-Slaying Guard. The card shimmered faintly under the candlelight.

After confirming Chen Xuan's identity, the woman in green smiled even more brightly. She nodded slightly and patiently explained, "My lord, you may not know this, but all the divine weapons here are the masterpieces of my God-Slaying Guard's weapon-forging team. Some of the materials used to forge many of these divine weapons were even specially transferred from the capital."

The woman spoke eloquently, continuing, "Magic treasures ranging from the Human Rank to the Heaven Rank can all be exchanged here. As for Immortal Rank magic treasures, they are naturally available, but only those at least a Level 4 or even a Level 5 God-Slaying Guardian are qualified to acquire them."

The woman in blue was clearly very familiar with her work and had encountered similar situations many times before, so she explained things clearly and calmly.

“Take this top-grade human-rank magic weapon, the Flying Dragon Slash, for example. If a first-level Godslayer Guard wants to exchange for it, it will cost 1,000 merit points. But for a second-level Godslayer Guard like yourself, it will only cost 800 points. For a third-level Godslayer Guard, it will only cost 600 points. If a fourth-level Godslayer Guard comes in person, it will only cost 500 merit points to exchange for it.”

At this point, the woman in green smiled gently, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "As for the fifth-level God-Slaying Guard commanders, they are quite formidable. They can even directly utilize the divine weapons and magical treasures here to form a thousand-strong team of cultivators without paying any price."

When Chen Xuan heard that the Level 5 God-Slaying Guards possessed such great power and were able to form their own army of cultivators, he couldn't help but gasp inwardly, his eyes revealing a hint of shock and longing.
