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

Secondly, he is single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and currently has no plans to find a Daoist partner. The future is uncertain, which is why he didn't directly refuse.

[Thirdly, he already has someone he likes, and the young princess is a strong possibility, but not certain. Chen Xuan's feelings for Qing Tian Yu'er are more at the level of friendship, but that's hard to say. The real possibility is that Chen Xuan already has someone he likes, or perhaps they've already secretly pledged their lives to each other, which would make things very difficult.]

Zi Mo carefully read Tian Xing's summary before finally looking at the end.

[Zi Mo, today I tested Chen Xuan and was poisoned by the Crimson Phoenix Poison, which is nearing its tribulation. You know how to cure this kind of poison. However, what I expected didn't happen. Chen Xuan risked his life to suck out the poison from my body, which allowed me to remain virgin.]

Upon seeing this, Zi Mo's heart sank, and he felt a pang of unease. "Hmph, I knew things weren't that simple."

[Zi Mo, our friendship has lasted for nearly a century. I don't want to ruin it because of a man, so I didn't intend to hide this from you. To be honest, I used to be completely indifferent to men, always believing that there was no man in this world who met my requirements. But what happened today has left me conflicted; his image is now haunting me.]

[From the time we met Chen Xuan until now, based on our resources, we can deduce that Chen Xuan could easily join the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, the God-Slaying Guard, and the Heaven and Earth Supreme Purity Palace. These three forces are all top-tier in Qingtian County, and there are many even more monstrous and outstanding female cultivators within them. Compared to them, we have absolutely no advantage.]

[Zi Mo, you're absolutely right. We haven't confessed yet, and we can still be friends with Chen Xuan. Perhaps an opportunity will arise in the future, but it's a low-probability event. Don't become obsessed with him and let it affect your cultivation. If you don't become a Celestial Immortal, you'll perish sooner or later. If we can transcend tribulations and become immortals, then there might be a much better chance.]

"Hmph, you're even trying to comfort me now." After reading the letter, Zi Mo let out a long sigh, her mind immediately clearing. Looking at the scroll on the table and Chen Xuan's portrait, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. "In every era, out of billions of outstanding young talents, how many become Void Immortals? To transcend tribulations and become an immortal, to live a carefree and immortal life... how easy is that?"

"Only by becoming an immortal can I have even the slightest chance to be with you?" Zi Mo smiled bitterly. Although his words were full of helplessness, his heart was even more determined to become a celestial immortal.

"I, Zi Mo, have always maintained a pure heart. I have just met someone I admire, and I am about to give up before I have even spoken to them?" Zi Mo's eyes suddenly became firm. "No, absolutely not."

Zi Mo held the painting scroll and slowly walked to the window, gazing at the silvery snowflakes falling from the sky outside. "Even if I fail in the end, there will always be a thought in my heart, a beautiful expectation."

Time flies by, and before we know it, it's New Year's Day.

The New Year in this world is much more lively than before I transmigrated in my previous life. It seems that both mortals and cultivators love the festive atmosphere.

Moreover, the existence of the art of weapon crafting in this world directly elevates the upper limit of the fireworks' exquisite beauty. Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Chen Xuan and Bai Li, who had transformed into human form, stood on the top floor of the Jade Pavilion, gazing at the breathtaking fireworks bursting forth one after another in the vast city outside the Marquis's residence.

"Master, the fireworks in this world are so beautiful." Bai Li stood beside Chen Xuan, intimately holding his hand, and whispered.

Cultivators are naturally not afraid of changes in the natural climate, and the two of them were still dressed in thin clothes.

Chen Xuan gazed into the distance at the fireworks soaring into the sky, his thoughts drifting to his disciples, friends scattered across the world, and the girl with whom he had established a relationship.

"Another year has passed. I wonder how they are doing?" Chen Xuan took out the jade pendant with the character "仙" (immortal) that he and Lu Xueqi had exchanged before, and examined it carefully.

As Chen Xuan's personal spirit beast, Bai Li could easily sense her master's emotional changes. She hugged Chen Xuan's waist tightly and rubbed her face against his chest.

"Master, don't worry, they will be safe and sound."

Snowflakes fluttered down, gently landing on him. Hearing Bai Li's words, Chen Xuan's longing and worry dissipated somewhat. He reached out and gently rubbed Bai Li's head. "Yes, I firmly believe they will be safe."

In this strange world, facing unfamiliar cities and people who are not close to them, the master and servant can only lean on each other and comfort each other's hearts.

Bang bang bang! !

After an unknown amount of time, as firecrackers were set off throughout Qingtian City, Bai Li was overjoyed. She loosened her arms, looked up at Chen Xuan with a smile, and said, "Master, Happy New Year! Master, give me lucky money."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan temporarily put aside his worries. With a flick of his wrist, a semi-transparent wine pot appeared in his hand, which he handed to Bai Li with a smile: "Here, the Earth-grade Immortal Wine I left behind last time, I've saved it for you."

The currency for cultivators is no longer RMB, but treasures such as spirit stones, spirit liquid, and source liquid.

As for the Earth-Rank Immortal Wine, a pot of it is worth a thousand gold coins. This New Year's red envelope money is really too precious for Bai Li, a spirit beast.

"Hehe, thank you, Master." Bai Li accepted the Earth-grade Immortal Wine and said happily.

"They're here." Chen Xuan said, looking at the Jade Path in front of Qiongyu Tower. Bai Li also looked over and saw Qingtian Xiaolou and Qingtian Yu'er surrounded by a row of guards.

"They must be inviting you to the New Year's banquet, Master," Bai Li said to Chen Xuan. "Master, why don't you go and celebrate the New Year with them? I want to go into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion to see my offspring."

Chen Xuan nodded and smiled, "They've worked hard all these years managing the spirit fields. Let's give them some spirit grains and other cultivation resources for the New Year as a New Year's bonus."

Hearing such thoughtful words, Bai Li smiled sweetly and said, "I thank you on their behalf, Master."

Chen Xuan nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion appeared in his palm. Then, as its power enveloped Bai Li, it easily took her into its embrace.

"Young master, the young princess and the heir have come to visit." The maid in purple robes arrived at the top floor of Qiongyu Tower and reported softly.

"Ah."

Chen Xuan then went downstairs to meet Qing Tian Yu'er and Qing Tian Xiao Lou.

Of course, a round of congratulations was in order, and then, at the invitation of the Qing Tian Xiao Lou siblings, Chen Xuan also went to the Qing Tian Hall in the heart of the Marquis's mansion to attend this family banquet.

Fortunately, there weren't many strangers around, so Chen Xuan was able to handle it easily.

The banquet had a very warm atmosphere, completely unlike the usual somber, business-like atmosphere.

The Marquis of Qingtian and his wife naturally sat in the highest positions in the main hall.

Below them, in order, are Qing Tian Xiao Lou, Qing Tian Yu Er, and Chen Xuan.

During this time, Qing Tianchen also chatted with Chen Xuan many times and learned that Chen Xuan was interested in the Nine Heavens Xuanqing Palace. He even took the initiative to tell Chen Xuan about the secrets of the Xuanqing Palace.

“The Xuanqing Palace is naturally the most suitable place for you to walk the path of the Sword Immortal.” Qing Tianchen nodded at Chen Xuan and said, “The founding ancestor of the Xuanqing Palace, the Nine Heavens Immortal, once obtained a strange treasure, which was a sword painting scroll. It was a rare immortal artifact, and its inner world could record traces of the sword path. It was called the Nine Heavens Sword Realm Map.”
