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

"Take it if you like it."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and six crimson flying swords instantly landed in Jiang Ning's arms. Jiang Ning instinctively hugged the six flying swords, her heart filled with joy, but then she nervously turned back to look at her father and mother.

Jiang Ming and Yao Xue's expressions were extremely complicated. The moment Chen Xuan uttered those words, they knew he was serious this time.

If that's the case, what excuse do they have for not accepting it?

"In that case, my wife and I will express our gratitude to Brother Chen Xuan on behalf of Ning'er for his gift."

Seeing that the couple was about to bow to him, Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward to stop them. The two men were true friends; how could he allow his trusted friends to perform such a grand ceremony?

"Ning'er, this set of flying swords will be useful for a long time after you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. Why don't we give this set of flying swords a name now?"

Under the watchful eyes of his elders, Jiang Ning nodded solemnly, and then a name came to mind. Looking at his father, Chen Xuan, and mother, Jiang Ning said solemnly, "The Northern Darkness Sword."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was taken aback, while Jiang Ming and Yao Xue laughed.

“From now on, Uncle Chen Xuan will be Ning’er’s goal in cultivating immortality. Bei Ming is also Uncle Chen Xuan’s Daoist name. I named this set of flying swords Bei Ming so that Uncle will always remind me.”

"Hahaha……"

"Little guy, that's an interesting idea."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and Jiang Ming both burst into laughter.

It was late at night, and the moon was bright while the stars were few.

Above a massive mountain range to the east of Jiangshan City, a black ship was rapidly moving away from the land. At the bow, Bai Li was casually drinking from a wine jar.

The cool moonlight bathed her, illuminating her exquisite beauty. A gentle breeze stirred, causing her hair to sway softly, making her appear like a fairy descended from heaven. Chen Xuan sat quietly cross-legged inside the boat, his eyes slightly closed, his expression focused, as if immersed in a mysterious world of Taoist magic. The surrounding spiritual energy flowed gently, encircling him, seemingly responding to his insights.

"Master, it's a million miles to reach Qingtian County. This small magical boat is so slow, why should we take it?"

The black flying boat was merely a low-grade human-level magic weapon. Not only was its grade low, but its internal structure was also not very comfortable, and it flew very slowly.

Bai Li was used to being quick and efficient, and couldn't understand why her master would choose such a magical artifact as a means of transportation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan said calmly, "Brother Jiang Ming and I have calculated that the major sects, religions, and tribes in the Princes' City will be openly recruiting disciples on the 18th day of the first month of next year, which is only October now."

"Huh? Next year?" Bai Li did the math and couldn't help but look miserable. "Doesn't that mean we'll be sitting on this shabby little boat for a full three months?"

Hearing Bai Li's complaint, Chen Xuan also said irritably, "Do you think this is still the previous life? According to Brother Jiang Ming, we have to cross several dangerous areas along the way. If we don't encounter any unexpected factors, we can still reach Qingtian County by the end of the year. But if we are besieged by rogue cultivators or powerful demons, then it's hard to say."

Chen Xuan looked at Bai Li and continued, "The reason we chose this small boat is because with your strength as a Great Demon of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, you can continuously replenish yourself by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while controlling it to fly and travel. In this way, even if we travel for a long time, we can maintain our peak strength."

Otherwise, while flying at full speed would increase our travel speed, if we were ambushed along the way, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage from the start?

After Chen Xuan rattled off a list, Bai Li shrank back, "Well, so there are so many taboos and considerations involved in traveling."

"These are all Brother Jiang Ming's insights from years of experience traveling around. Many of his experiences were learned from mistakes he made. Otherwise, how would you and I know how to avoid them?"

Chen Xuan looked at Bai Li, who had a carefree expression, and with a wave of his hand, threw the last set of cyan flying sword magic weapons over to her.
