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

Gu Yingying shook her head and said, "Every time a Great Dao artifact embryo appears in the world, all the geniuses from all sides will engage in fierce competition, which is the norm. As long as Master holds the token of divine and demonic forging, which is the bronze fragment in the hands of the Mistress..." At this point, Gu Yingying looked at Chen Xuan with reverence and continued, "It's just a pity that I injured Master's Daoist partner before, causing damage to the Mistress's immortal foundation. Gu Yingying is truly ashamed before the Mistress."

Gu Yingying felt deeply guilty, especially since she had hurt the mistress so badly, yet she was still able to become her master's servant. This filled her with gratitude towards Chen Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then waved his hand, and a small, ancient, black immortal abode appeared in his hand.

A portable immortal abode is worth millions or even tens of millions of kilograms of Origin Liquid. Sure enough, when Gu Yingying carefully examined the Northern Netherworld Immortal Abode floating in Chen Xuan's palm, even with her high standards, she couldn't help but be greatly shocked. This immortal abode had an ancient and simple design, its surface covered with profound Daoist runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Such a high-grade portable immortal abode, I'm afraid only those holy sons and daughters of holy lands could easily produce it, right?" Gu Yingying swallowed and said.

Chen Xuan chuckled softly. With a thought, a beam of light descended from below the immortal palace, and a peerless, aloof, and stunningly beautiful fairy in white robes gradually materialized, appearing beside Chen Xuan. This was none other than Zhan Xin, who had been forced by Gu Yingying to activate a forbidden technique and attempt self-destruction, resulting in the complete destruction of her immortal foundation.

"This... how is this possible?" Gu Yingying was extremely shocked to see Zhan Xin completely unharmed, and even his aura had stabilized at the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. "Mistress, Gu Yingying greets Mistress."

After realizing what was happening, Gu Yingying immediately knelt down and bowed to Zhan Xin in the void.

Chen Xuan's second primordial spirit resides within the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, and Chen Xuan has informed Zhan Xin of everything that has happened in the outside world.

As for the matter of Zhanxin using forbidden techniques, being poisoned by Gu, and having his immortal foundation destroyed, Chen Xuan possesses innate spiritual liquids of two different attributes.

Such treasures are meant to be used to refine magical artifacts of the Immortal Rank or higher, let alone to save people or restore damaged foundations of the Immortal Path.

"Hmph." Zhan Xin didn't have a good look on Gu Yingying, but out of respect for Chen Xuan, he just snorted coldly.

"Alright, I know you're angry. But he's someone who will reap a huge amount of merit in the future. As his master, and moreover, the key point this time was that I gave him a chance to live. When it comes time to distribute the merit, you and I will both get a lot."

In the journey of cultivators, fighting for treasures is commonplace. Although Gu Yingying's sneak attack resulted in the deaths of three disciples of Taiqing Palace, it's difficult to judge right and wrong in such matters. Killing Gu Yingying directly would certainly be satisfying, but the three fallen disciples cannot be brought back to life; it would be better to maximize the benefits.

"Mistress, here is all that I have gained from this experience. I hope it can make up for your losses." Gu Yingying, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, immediately offered up all her possessions in front of Chen Xuan.

Although Zhan Xin was still somewhat unhappy, she understood the principle of the survival of the fittest. She wasn't actually familiar with the three deceased fellow disciples; they were merely from the same sect.

As the senior student leading the team, she still had to shoulder some responsibilities.

"No need for compensation." Zhan Xin stood beside Chen Xuan, gently pinching the soft flesh of Chen Xuan's waist with one hand, and said coldly, "Since you have become his servant, then serve him loyally. I hope you can play your part."

"Thank you, Mistress." Gu Yingying was extremely grateful, knowing that she had passed this hurdle.

Chen Xuan winked at Zhan Xin, then suddenly grabbed Zhan Xin's soft, smooth little hand.

Seeing this in front of outsiders, Zhan Xin's heart pounded. He tried to pull his hand back several times but failed. In the end, he could only glare at Chen Xuan and pretend to be angry.

"Let's go to the Land of Gods and Demons to search for treasures," Chen Xuan said, linking arms with Zhan Xin.

"Ah."

“I will guide my master and mistress.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yingying accelerated her flight, widening the distance between them and leaving her master and mistress some space to be alone.
