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

Chen Xuan's intimate gesture made Bai Li panic for a moment. She looked at Chen Xuan with confusion and worry, and said anxiously, "What do you mean it's done, Master? Please don't do this. It's just that I didn't become an apprentice of the immortal."

Bai Li thought Chen Xuan was overwhelmed by the blow and was somewhat dazed, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"No, Bai Li, today Master not only became a disciple of an immortal, but also obtained the immortal-level Qi refining method he had been dreaming of!" Chen Xuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but pinch Bai Li's cheek, gently put her down, and then flipped his palm, and a jade slip appeared in front of Bai Li.

The jade slip is engraved with three ancient pictographic characters – the "Star Classic".

Coming to her senses, Bai Li realized that her master was teasing her. She immediately raised her little fist and gently punched Chen Xuan's shoulder as "punishment."

"Here you go." Chen Xuan didn't waste any time and handed the jade slip in his hand to Bai Li.

Bai Li was no naive or ignorant girl. Although spirit beasts couldn't roam freely within the sect, Beiming Peak had its puppet steward, Xiao Bei.

In her spare time, she often asked Xiao Bei about the various rules of the sect, and naturally she also knew that before formally becoming a disciple, one had to make a blood oath to the ancestral tablets.

Although the specifics of the blood oath are unclear, just thinking about it makes it clear that the constraints must be extremely strict.

Seeing Chen Xuan so casually produce the sect's top-tier technique, Bai Li was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes, not daring to look at the jade slip. She said nervously, "Master, how can you reveal the sect's top-tier inheritance? You will be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao!"

Seeing her reaction, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded. He and Wang Kaixuan only learned about these things when they arrived at the sect leader's hall, but Bai Li already knew them, which showed how much this girl cared about his affairs.

Ignoring everything else, Chen Xuan reached out and pulled Bai Li over, placing the "Star Scripture" directly in her palm.

The moment Bai Li touched the jade slip, her small hand trembled violently, and she instinctively tried to pull it back, but Chen Xuan firmly held it down.

"This immortal-level Qi refining method was specially exchanged for you by your master. If you don't learn it, then my 10,000 merit points will have been wasted."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li opened her eyes in shock and looked at Chen Xuan: "Ten thousand merit points? A Celestial-level Qi Refining Method?" She pointed to herself and asked, "For me?"

"Otherwise what?" Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, and even reached out to rub Bai Li's head. "So, you'll have to work even harder on your cultivation from now on."

Once she realized her master wasn't joking, Bai Li's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Master... Master, sob sob, Master, Bai Li is just a spirit beast, how can she bear such a burden..." Before she could finish speaking, Bai Li burst into tears and threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms.

Bai Li was well aware of the sect's many rules. In the native understanding of this world, spirit beasts were nothing more than tools used to take the place of their masters, run errands, or cover their retreat.

It was precisely because Bai Li understood this that she grew closer to Chen Xuan and treated him well in every way possible, simply because she personally felt that Chen Xuan had never treated her as a tool.

Chen Xuan gently embraced the petite Bai Li and patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Others are overjoyed to receive a Celestial-level Qi Refining Method, why are you crying?"

Bai Li remained silent, only tightly hugging Chen Xuan's waist, sobbing.

"Alright, silly girl, I chose a celestial-level Qi refining method for you because I hope you can go further on the path of cultivation and become a Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Immortal in the future. With endless lifespan, you can travel with me and see all the beautiful scenery in this world."

"Yes, Master, Bai Li understands." Bai Li raised her head with red eyes, her eyes brimming with tears, like the pitiful autumn waters.

"Master, Bai Li will be loyal to you alone in this life, for all eternity, and will never change her mind."

Chen Xuan smiled and replied, "Alright, Master knows."

"By the way, you must destroy this jade slip immediately after you finish reading it. If even a single detail is leaked, both of us will be instantly annihilated." The rules for disciples practicing the sect's top-tier inheritance are already strict, and the rules for spirit beasts and servants are even stricter, as they are subject to joint punishment.

Chen Xuan's expression turned serious, and Bai Li didn't hesitate either, immediately making a Heavenly Oath to the Immortal-Rank Qi Refining Method alone.

In this way, even if a powerful being forcibly searches the soul, due to the binding oath of the Heavenly Dao, even if Bai Li encounters misfortune, the information of the method will never be leaked, and Chen Xuan will not be implicated and eliminated by the Heavenly Dao.

"Alright, hurry up and serve the food, the master is starving."

Bai Li stopped crying and smiled, nodded in agreement, and turned to run out of the main hall, but Chen Xuan grabbed her arm.

Bai Li looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression.

"Bring your immortal-level inheritance method with you. This was specially chosen for you, and even I can't look at it."

"Hehe, thank you, Master. Then Bai Li won't be polite!" Bai Li picked up the jade slip and skipped out of the living room.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, teasingly saying, "What a handsome and capable little rascal."

As the sun gradually disappeared and the bright moon slowly rose, after enjoying the delicious food carefully prepared by Bai Li, the brilliant stars lit up the boundless night sky.

On the first floor of the main hall, candlelight flickered gently as Bai Li cleared away the dishes. Chen Xuan looked at her and instructed, "Having obtained the cultivation method today, Master will now be in seclusion to focus on cultivation for the foreseeable future."

Bai Li, now dressed as a girl in white, sat obediently beside Chen Xuan and nodded in response, "Master, rest assured, you can focus on your cultivation. I will take care of all the affairs of Beiming Peak."

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: "No, Master said three days from now, not today." With that, he got up and walked out of the first floor of the main hall, with Bai Li following closely behind.

Looking up at the vast starry sky, Chen Xuan said, "The master really showed off during that sparring session at the Hall of Proof of the Dao. Now that he has become a disciple, his master's status in the sect is extremely prestigious. Tomorrow, the senior brothers and sisters of the third and second generations in the sect will probably come to visit in groups."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li immediately understood Chen Xuan's meaning, and a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

"Bai Li, many senior brothers and sisters will probably come to Beiming Peak to pay their respects tomorrow morning. We must prepare spiritual fruits, spiritual tea, and spiritual wine. We must not neglect our fellow disciples."

With Bai Li as his capable assistant, Chen Xuan never had to worry about these kinds of miscellaneous matters.

Bai Li has always been in charge of the production and material exchange of the hundred-mile spiritual field on Beiming Peak; Chen Xuan only needs to give an order.

Bai Li straightened her back and nodded solemnly: "Master, rest assured, Bai Li will definitely handle this matter properly and will not let you down."

Chen Xuan rubbed Bai Li's head and said with a smile, "You've worked hard. Once this matter is settled, we, master and servant, can focus on our cultivation."

After giving some instructions, Chen Xuan turned around and strolled back to the main hall, then went straight into the secluded meditation room.

Chen Xuan could so casually wash his hands of the matter and not care about the consequences, but Bai Li, as the head steward of Beiming Peak, dared not stop for even a moment.

Upon learning that many third-generation and second-generation disciples would be visiting the next day, Bai Li immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Baili Spirit Field area below.

Immediately afterwards, several creatures of different shapes, carrying bulging bundles on their backs, headed towards the various peaks within the sect.
