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

"Peerless, Yin and Yang, the Three Powers, the Four Symbols—only the Four Symbols are missing a tiny bit to achieve perfect balance and unleash its full potential," Chen Xuan murmured to himself, feeling quite pleased at the moment.

In less than a month, his strength has undergone a tremendous transformation compared to a month ago, a metamorphosis that is truly astonishing.

Chen Xuan pondered to himself that if he were to spar with Wang Kaixuan again at this moment, he was full of confidence. He believed that as long as he used the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, he would be able to easily break Wang Kaixuan's Black Dragon Fist.

This leap in strength filled him with confidence for his upcoming discourse at the Hall of Proof of the Dao.

Chen Xuan slowly stepped down from the jade platform and stretched his body slightly. His bones immediately made crackling sounds like popping beans, as if they were cheering and celebrating his advancement in cultivation.

"It's about time I came out of seclusion. I suppose many of my fellow disciples from other sects should have returned by now," Chen Xuan thought to himself.

In Xuanqing Palace, it is normal to occasionally not be able to recruit any disciples, but it is extremely rare to be able to recruit two disciples in a year.

The date of the disciple-acceptance ceremony is fixed, and the time for new disciples to take turns serving in the Hall of Enlightenment and for older disciples to take turns is also almost fixed.

As the month draws near, the senior brothers and sisters who went out to train or participate in the capture of the evil cultivators of the God-Slaying Guard will all rush back to the sect during this period.

As Chen Xuan had expected, the Xuanqing Palace's senior disciples were bustling with activity. Many renowned senior brothers and sisters who had been away on training missions gathered at Xuanqing Palace at this time, as if by unspoken agreement.

On a secluded mountain peak covered with starflowers, instead of the grand mansions of Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan, a mysterious cave dwelling sits atop the mountain.

"Senior Sister Piaoxue, I never expected that my Xuanqing Palace would receive two junior brothers at once." Inside the cave, a woman dressed in a blue dress, with an unparalleled beauty and extraordinary temperament, was none other than the well-known Qinglian Fairy of the sect.

She was looking at a girl in a long black dress across from her with a curious expression.

The girl in the black dress had a faint starlight mark between her eyebrows, as if it were a natural mark of intelligence.

Judging from her appearance, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her long, jet-black hair was tied back with a ribbon and hung down naturally. However, even with such a simple outfit, her temperament and appearance were in no way inferior to Qinglian, and even surpassed her, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly charm.

In fact, this girl in the black dress was extremely famous in Xuanqing Palace, and even among the outstanding figures of the major sects in Qingtian City, she was well-known.

Because she is not only one of the top-ranked second-generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace, but also a legendary reincarnated immortal.

When Senior Sister Piaoxue saw that her junior sister came straight to her as soon as she returned, she felt warm inside. She gently waved her jade hand, and the wine pot seemed to have a spirit, automatically filling a cup of immortal wine for her. Her movements were elegant and natural.

"You came back in such a hurry, and now you're here?" Senior Sister Piaoxue smiled at Junior Sister Qinglian and asked softly, "Did you join the God-Slaying Guard during your training trip down the mountain?"

Qinglian picked up her wine cup, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Then she smacked her red lips, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Hehe, although the test to join the God-Slaying Guard was extremely difficult, I still succeeded." Her smile carried a hint of pride and playfulness.

Piaoxue nodded slightly, a hint of approval in her eyes: "In that case, congratulations, Senior Sister."

Upon hearing this, Qinglian waved her hand lightly, showing no hint of boasting on her face, and then asked, "I heard that my Xuanqing Palace has accepted two junior brothers this time during its open recruitment of disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Piaoxue nodded slightly with a sigh: "One is named Wang Kaixuan, and the other is named Chen Xuan. It is rumored that both of them are rogue cultivators."
