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

A gentle smile played on Chen Xuan's lips as he raised his hand to lightly brush a strand of hair from Zhan Xin's temple. His eyes were filled with determination: "I bear many responsibilities, and many people are waiting for me. Therefore, I will never die, I absolutely will not."

Just as the two were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, exchanging heartfelt words through telepathy, a woman in green robes gracefully emerged from a side hall. Upon seeing this scene, a meaningful smile played on her lips.

The arrival of an outsider instantly shattered the sweet and intimate atmosphere. Zhan Xin blushed, quickly pulling her hand away from Chen Xuan's grasp. She lowered her head slightly, raising her hand to compose her somewhat chaotic emotions, trying to conceal the blush that rose from her shyness.

"Lord Chen Xuan, these are the refining materials you need, as well as your Level Two Godslayer Guardian Merit Card." The woman stepped forward gracefully, her expression respectful, and handed him a storage magic ring and the yellow card symbolizing Chen Xuan's identity.

"Thank you." Chen Xuan reached out and took the two items. A wisp of his divine sense, like a nimble thread, probed into the storage ring. After carefully scanning it and confirming that everything was correct, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He bowed to the woman and then strode out of the divine weapon exchange area with Zhan Xin and Bai Li.

"Six months of hard work, and I never expected to spend it all in one exchange." Chen Xuan played with the identity card in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, his voice tinged with regret.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xin's lips curled into a gentle smile: "This is how cultivators are; all their struggles and sacrifices are for becoming stronger. You've obtained so many refining materials this time. If you could find a master craftsman to refine them for you, you might be able to acquire dozens of high-grade Earth-rank magic treasures. In that case, your combat power would definitely increase significantly, and you would be better able to find your own opportunities on the ancient Immortal Realm Road."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn: "With the arrival of the Ancient Immortal Road this time, I'm afraid countless cultivators at the Myriad Manifestations Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, eager for an opportunity, are secretly accumulating their strength, preparing to enter and fight among themselves."

Mentioning the ancient Immortal Realm Road, both Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin felt a heavy pressure. After all, the opening of this ancient secret realm was not just for Qingtian County, a single county-level city, but for all three thousand counties of the Xuanxiao Great World.

Within Qingtian County alone, there are thousands of tribes, sects, and clans of all sizes. Which sect doesn't have a genius or prodigy at the seed level? And within the three thousand counties, how many unparalleled geniuses among their contemporaries are hidden in various sects and super tribes? No one knows any of this.

Chen Xuan had already used up all the merit points on his merit card, and even though he was full of curiosity and wanted to know the value of the various supernatural abilities in the Divine Abilities Pavilion, he had lost interest at this moment.

On the other hand, Zhan Xin managed to exchange for two rather good storage magic items when he passed by the Oddities Shop.

The Void Bag is a top-tier Earth-rank storage magic treasure. Its internal space is vast and boundless, and it is extremely sturdy and not easily damaged. Although it is quite expensive, costing a full thousand merit points from the Heart-Slaying Technique, in the eyes of cultivators, such a storage magic treasure is a powerful assistant on the path of cultivation.

Chen Xuan was wondering why Zhan Xin wanted to exchange for two at once, but then he saw Zhan Xin turn around and hand one of the Void Heaven Bags to him.

"This... is for you. I've noticed you use different storage magic items every time you collect miscellaneous items, so I assume they're not high-grade. This one will come in handy for you." This was the first time Zhanxin had given a gift to someone of the opposite sex, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She spoke with a hint of awkwardness, appearing quite uncomfortable.

Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the storage magic item handed to him. Then a sense of shame welled up in his heart. He hadn't even considered storage when he was exchanging for refining materials.
