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

The master and servant each had a dragonfish, and they began to devour them.

"Master, Bai Li respectfully greets you." Bai Li looked at Chen Xuan with heartfelt gratitude, tears glistening in her eyes. According to the inherited memories of their ancestor, when their ancestor and his friends joined forces, they only managed to catch three dragonfish. Among so many fellow cultivators, their ancestor had only managed to eat a third of a dragonfish.

Now, after countless years, Bai Li is able to obtain a whole dragonfish directly because of her master. How could she not be excited?

Chen Xuan devoured the dragonfish meat, its texture springy and chewy, exuding a unique and indescribable flavor. For a cultivator like Chen Xuan, whose physical body was comparable to that of a young god or demon, a single dragonfish only left him about 80% full.

At first, Chen Xuan did not notice any unusual reaction after eating the dragonfish. However, as he consumed a jar of spiritual wine, the dragonfish's unique characteristics gradually began to appear.

Chen Xuan felt as if the divine and demonic essence blood within his body was being burned by raging fire, and a scalding heat instantly spread throughout his body.

This sudden change caused his robes to turn to ashes in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan's exposed skin turned as red as if it had been scorched by lava, and layers of black, dry, powdery grime continuously peeled off his skin.

From a distance, an uninformed person might mistake Chen Xuan for some kind of great snake demon undergoing a molting transformation.

"Master's physical body is the Crimson Bright Divine Body. The first time he took the dragon fish, it had such an amazing effect. What would it be like if someone with low divine or demonic aptitude took it?" Bai Li had the memories of ancient ancestors and was aware of her master Chen Xuan's current condition, so she was not worried at all.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, no more grime fell off Chen Xuan's body, and his skin, which had been as red as if scorched by lava, gradually returned to its normal color.

"Master, you're so fair-skinned, even fairer than Bai Li." As Chen Xuan finished tempering with the blood of gods and demons, Bai Li looked at the completely transformed Chen Xuan with envy in her eyes and couldn't help but blurt out.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a black robe instantly appeared around him. He stood up and stretched his limbs slightly.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! — The series of crisp sounds, as dense as firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, were the sounds of his body being tempered and his bones being re-honed.

Chen Xuan briefly checked his cultivation level and was surprised to find that his original late-stage Divine Demon Body Refinement Foundation Establishment Realm had actually dropped to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. A drop in cultivation level is no small matter for a cultivator, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Bai Li in astonishment and asked, "How could my late-stage Divine Demon Body Refinement Foundation Establishment Realm have fallen to the mid-stage?"

Seeing this, Bai Li showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, she said excitedly, "Hehe, congratulations, Master! You have completely established your extraordinary divine and demonic body-refining aptitude with the help of the dragon fish. It's not that your realm has dropped, but rather that your divine and demonic essence blood has been thoroughly tempered. In other words, your current divine and demonic body-refining aptitude is already twice what it was before."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was taken aback at first, then a delighted smile appeared on his face. However, he quickly seemed to remember something, looked at Bai Li, and asked with concern, "Why didn't you react at all?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Li shrugged with a wry smile and said helplessly, "Bai Li has no talent in the Divine Demon Body Refinement Path and has not yet forged a Divine Demon Body. Naturally, I cannot immediately absorb and utilize this Dragon Fish Essence, so I can only temporarily seal it within my body."

Seeing that Bai Li was a little down, Chen Xuan stepped forward, gently patted her head, and said with a smile, "With that Divine Demon True Blood Fruit, will you be able to cultivate the Divine Demon Body Refinement?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Li was taken aback at first, then looked at Chen Xuan and nodded heavily, saying, "According to the ancestor's memories, that is indeed the case. It's just a pity that, not to mention how difficult it is to find the treasure tree nurtured by the true blood of gods and demons, even if it were found, such a treasure would inevitably attract countless geniuses to compete for it once it appears in the world."

Chen Xuan gently stroked Bai Li's upturned nose and comforted her, "As long as there is hope, that's enough. Don't worry, Bai Li, your chances of becoming a Celestial Immortal through Qi Refining are slim, but this Divine Demon Body Refining is one of your few options. I will definitely try to get you a True Blood Fruit."

"Waaah, Master, you're so good to Bai Li." Bai Li was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. As she inherited many memories from her ancestors, she understood more and more deeply how precious and rare Chen Xuan's kindness to her was.

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with your master?" Chen Xuan said, rubbing Bai Li's head. "You've been by my side all this way, always busy helping me. Of course, your master won't forget you when I get something good."

"Waaah, Bai Li understands, Master." Bai Li choked back tears and nodded forcefully.
