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

"Hahaha..." Seeing that Chen Xuan did not immediately kneel down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, Immortal Longxi immediately understood his concerns and explained with a hearty laugh, "You lad, you really have a lot of patience. This one—" Immortal Longxi smiled and pointed to Immortal Qiandao, "This one is the fourth Sword Immortal in the more than 100,000 years since our Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace was founded!"

There are very few in the entire Qingtian County who can be called sword immortals.

The sword represents the understanding of the great way of the sword and the astonishing achievements made in this way.

Immortal; represents the strength level of the Void Immortal, and must be a Void Immortal who has broken through with the sword path to be called a Sword Immortal.

Seeing Chen Xuan's composure and his reluctance to hastily become his disciple, the Thousand Immortals were not annoyed but rather even more pleased. Becoming a disciple is a major life event, and if the paths of master and disciple clash, the assistance to cultivation will be limited, so hesitation is perfectly normal.

As the Dragon Breath Immortal finished speaking, the disciples belatedly realized that Chen Xuan had not been frightened, but was instead considering the path cultivated by the Immortal Ancestor.

Upon learning that the black-robed man before him was actually the fourth sword immortal in the history of Xuanqing Palace, Chen Xuan could not hide his joy. He immediately knelt down on both knees with utmost solemnity and respectfully kowtowed nine times.

Chen Xuantai understood perfectly what it meant to become a disciple.

A master often expends a great deal of effort in teaching his disciples, and treats his direct disciples as his own children, giving selflessly most of the time.

Just like Jiang Linglong and Shi Hao, who were taken under his wing by Long Xiatang Wushan in his previous life, Chen Xuan had always taken good care of them and never thought of asking for anything in return.

Having personally experienced the difficulties of being a master, he cherishes this master-disciple relationship all the more and will naturally take the matter of becoming a disciple very seriously.

"Disciple Chen Xuan greets Master!"

Nine kowtows echoed throughout the main hall, accompanied by the words of greeting. Immortal Qiandao laughed loudly, "Very good, very good. In this way, I, Qiandao, can be considered to have a formal successor."

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on acquiring a satisfactory disciple today." Upon seeing this, Immortal Dragon Breath quickly offered his congratulations.

Chen Xuan publicly became a disciple of Master Qian Dao, and even the Nascent Soul Daoists in the audience cast envious glances at him, not to mention the second and third generation disciples.

"As expected of Junior Brother Beiming, I never imagined he could become the immortal's personal disciple!" Qinglian's beautiful eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan, who shone like a dazzling star, filled with anticipation and joy. Initially, when Fengyue made the suggestion, she was somewhat resistant; who could have predicted that Chen Xuan would be so extraordinary?

Senior Sister Fengyue felt the same way at this moment. After all, which female cultivator wouldn't admire and respect such a prodigy?

"From this day forward, a dazzling star will slowly rise from my Xuanqing Palace, illuminating the disciples of the same generation in the Pifu and Wanxiang realms of all the major sects and schools within the entire Qingtian County." Piaoxue murmured softly, looking at Chen Xuan with a smile on his face, her emotions complex and hard to discern.

"How is that possible? How could he have become a disciple of an immortal ancestor?"

If anyone is suffering the most, it has to be Senior Brother Haoyue. He had seen the way Senior Sisters Qinglian and Fengyue looked at Chen Xuan just now, and the bitterness and hatred in his heart were impossible to suppress.

"This item is called the Merit Card." Immortal Qiandao looked at Chen Xuan with satisfaction, raised his hand and waved it gently. A purple card with a strange texture flew towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan raised his hand and caught it steadily, respectfully replying, "Yes." He looked at Wang Kaixuan, and seeing his appearance, he guessed that the Dragon Breath Immortal had already given him this item as well.

"This card was personally crafted by my founding ancestor, and it is quite wondrous. You only need to infuse it with the Dao you have comprehended at each realm, or even your divine sense, or any aura that can demonstrate your status, position, or strength. This merit card will then reward you with the corresponding merit points according to the rules," the Thousand Dao Immortal explained calmly.

“That’s right. My Xuanqing Palace has accumulated over 100,000 years of Taoist scriptures, Qi refining, and body refining methods, as well as all kinds of supernatural powers and secret techniques. But not just anyone can acquire them at will.” Immortal Longxi chimed in, “In the early stages of entry, if a disciple does not meet the merit reward requirements, the master can allocate his own merit points to help the disciple go to the Taoist Scripture Hall to select a method of inheritance that suits his needs.”

"As for various supernatural abilities, secret techniques, and grand formations, disciples must earn merit points through their own efforts to obtain them."

After the Dragon Breath Immortal finished speaking, the Thousand Paths Immortal nodded slightly, looked at Chen Xuan and continued, "In this card, your master has allocated 10,000 merit points for you separately, which is enough for you to choose a celestial-level Qi cultivation method, plus a matching secret technique."

The initial 10,000 merit points were publicly revealed by Immortal Qiandao, shocking the disciples below the stage once again.

Just by looking at his expression, you can tell that it's truly rare for someone to receive so many merit points from their master so early in their career.
