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

Although the surface is not decorated with many fancy patterns, the overall shape is smooth and natural, which has a unique artistic conception, as if the jade pendant was born naturally by the creation of heaven and earth.

During the refining process, Chen Xuan pulled out a strand of his long hair. Enveloped in spiritual energy, the hair entered the yang part of the yin-yang fish. Under Chen Xuan's control, the hair formed a traditional Chinese character, 玄, inside the yang fish.

"Here, give me a strand of your hair."

Lu Xueqi was still in a daze and hadn't yet realized what Chen Xuan's actions meant.

She instinctively went along with Chen Xuan's words, pulling out a strand of her own hair and handing it over.

Chen Xuan took Lu Xueqi's black hair and, enveloped in spiritual energy, entered the yin part of the yin-yang symbol.

Then, this strand of green silk formed a character inside the Yin Fish: Immortal.

With the character "仙" (immortal) finalized, the entire jade pendant was successfully crafted. During the crafting process, Chen Xuan also inscribed a small magic array within the jade pendant.

Due to this magic array, if one of the two jade pendants shatters, the other will also shatter.

"Why is it the character '仙' (immortal)?" Lu Xueqi asked, looking at the completed jade pendant with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xuan smiled and split the jade pendant in two. He kept the half with the character "Xuan" (玄) on it, which was the yang fish pendant, while he handed the other half with the character "Xian" (仙) on it to Lu Xueqi.

Holding half of the Immortal-character Yin Fish Jade Pendant, Lu Xueqi felt something was off. Instinctively, she wanted to take the Xuan-character Yang Fish from Chen Xuan's hand.

Chen Xuan noticed that the naive Lu Xueqi still didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "Want to switch?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi subconsciously handed the jade pendant in her hand to Chen Xuan, and then took the Yang Fish jade pendant from Chen Xuan's hand.

"Why is it the character '仙' (immortal) instead of '雪' (snow)..."

Chen Xuan looked down at the jade pendant with the character "仙" (immortal) in his hand, and then looked at Lu Xueqi.

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"It's because, in my opinion, in every aspect of you—your aptitude, temperament, character, and even appearance—you don't belong to the category of a true immortal."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi understood that this was tantamount to exchanging tokens.

The Taoist priest found out and still agreed?

Lu Xueqi's infatuation with Chen Xuan was nothing new. She hadn't held out any hope, believing herself to be inferior to Chen Xuan in every way, and even considering the help and guidance he provided as a disciple.

Unexpectedly, after he saw through her feelings, he didn't despise her, but instead...

"Taoist Master."

Lu Xueqi could no longer remain calm. She stepped forward and hugged Chen Xuan tightly, burying her ethereal face in his chest.

Chen Xuan is like that; he always follows his heart's choices.

The love affairs of cultivators are so ordinary, unlike the passionate romances of ordinary young people.

If he had deduced from the content of that love letter that he felt disgusted and unable to accept it, then he would have rejected it without hesitation.

However, after spending many days together, Lu Xueqi left a very good impression on him. She was sensible, well-behaved, and intelligent in front of him, and decisive and capable of handling things on her own when she was away from home.

Having made up his mind, Chen Xuan gently embraced Lu Xueqi, giving her a response.

At this moment, Chen Xuan felt at peace.

Since he began to deal with the great calamity and the nationwide migration, he had not had such a moment of inner peace in a long time.

Lu Xueqi had a faint, unique fragrance, which Chen Xuan gently inhaled.

"Daoist Master, you smell so good! Is this the scent of natural fragrance?"

"Don't call me Taoist Master anymore, just call me Chen Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi's delicate body visibly trembled. She didn't dare to look up and could only murmur softly, "Brother Chen Xuan."

"The path of humanity is insignificant, the path of immortality is boundless..."

The two nestled together quietly. Chen Xuan held Lu Xueqi in his arms, feeling the warmth of her curvaceous body, and said, "You and I will surely embark on the true path of cultivation in the future. Our journey is still long. This temporary separation is only for a better reunion in the future. A hundred years in the mortal world is but a drop in the ocean for us."

"I know that I am already satisfied that you know my feelings on the eve of our parting. I will not be a burden to you now, nor will I be your weakness in the future."

At this moment, Xueqi looked up, and their faces were very close, so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Chen Xuan looked at Lu Xueqi and his heart trembled. In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had been so close to a woman. He really didn't know what to do in this atmosphere.

However, just as Chen Xuan was feeling a bit uneasy, Xue Qi looked at him and instinctively closed her beautiful eyes.

Chen Xuan felt a light tap on the back of his head, followed by a gentle kiss on Lu Xueqi's rosy lips.
