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

"Brother-in-law, so your Taoist name is Beiming?"

The person is as their name suggests, just as the shadow of the tree reflects their form. Two years ago, Jianxin and Piaoxue, the second-generation reincarnation immortals of the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, were actually defeated by the newly recruited disciple Chen Xuan. As soon as this news came out, Chen Xuan's name resounded like thunder among all the clans, sects, and high-ranking members and disciples in Qingtian County.

Cultivators all admire strength, especially since Chen Xuan was merely a novice disciple at the time, with his strength only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. When Zi Yu heard this news, she was utterly shocked. She kept wondering who this Chen Xuan was, that he possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age, and that he had shattered the undefeated myth of the early stage of reincarnated immortals.

Later, during an exchange at the academy, she went to visit Senior Sister Tianxing, and coincidentally, Senior Brother Lingchen from the Fallen God Academy was also there. From their conversation, Ziyu learned that her sister and the others had already met Chen Xuan.

That wasn't all. What shocked her most was that the legendary Chen Xuan seemed to have an intricate and unspeakable relationship with her sister Zi Mo and Senior Sister Tian Xing. At that moment, Zi Yu felt a pang of inexplicable bitterness rise in her heart.

After recalling for a while, Ziyu saw that Chen Xuan was indeed as approachable as the legends said, so she moved closer and sat down next to him, saying curiously, "Hehe, how lucky! I never thought that powerful figure who is famous among the younger generation of the Qingtian County sect would appear before my eyes so miraculously?"

"Hmph, you little brat, your attitude changes pretty quickly." Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but mock.

Although Ziyu was initially surprised by Wang Kaixuan's displayed strength, she was no longer afraid and even playfully stuck out her tongue at him. With her brother-in-law here, who would dare to touch her?

"Your sister... is Zimo. How is she now?" Now that they have recognized each other and confirmed that the other party is indeed his friend's sister, Chen Xuan naturally cannot act as before.

"My sister is doing well. Since returning to the sect two years ago, she has been in seclusion in her cave in the back mountain, preparing for the opening of the ancient Immortal Realm Road a year from now. As her younger sister, I rarely see her. The last time I saw her was when I went to tell her the news that you defeated the reincarnated immortal." Ziyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.

"The Ancient Road to the Immortal Realm?" Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded. "By the way, how did you two end up in such a sorry state?"

Wang Kaixuan chimed in, "Yeah, weren't you guys in a three-person team at the assembly point?"

Upon hearing this, Ziyu and Yueming's expressions instantly turned serious.

Although Ziyu was very curious about Chen Xuan, she did not want to use him to achieve any purpose, so she did not speak immediately.

Yue Ming was straightforward. He immediately clenched his fist and said angrily, "We were tricked and killed by someone we knew. If it weren't for that person, Senior Brother Tianxiao wouldn't have been killed the moment they made their move."

Chen Xuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at Zi Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Upon receiving Chen Xuan's signal, Zi Yu nodded and said with resentment, "It is Qingyuexuan of the Qingtian Sword Sect, as well as Liu Heqing of the Liuhe Clan, Shenyuan of the Shenmu Clan, and six other cultivators."

"Killing and robbing?" Wang Kaixuan curled his lip. "We didn't do such a thing. They're quite open-minded. I guess they think the mine is too difficult to explore, so they specifically ambush other cultivators."

Ziyu shook her head and looked at the two of them, saying, "If it were just a simple ambush to steal treasure, I could understand. But this time it's not like that. The four academies of Qingtian County have always been closely connected. Originally, Yue Ming and I didn't know these people."

“But Qingyuexuan has some connections with Senior Brother Tianxiao, and that’s why they were able to kill Tianxiao so easily and steal the divine ore source stones we worked so hard to obtain.” Ziyu said, her face full of shame.

"They approached us as friends, lowered our guard, and then suddenly attacked us to kill us and steal our treasure. We will never forget this grudge." Yue Ming's eyes were gloomy, and his tone was filled with deep hatred.

After Chen Xuan and his brother learned about the whole incident, they finally understood why Zi Yu was so wary when they approached.

"So what are your plans after this?" Chen Xuan asked Zi Yu. "If you want revenge, I can help you out for Zi Mo and Tian Xing's sake."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan remained silent. He knew his junior brother Chen Xuan's strength well; if he could deal with three strange creatures at the same time and escape unscathed, then dealing with several cultivators at the Myriad Manifestations Realm would be a piece of cake.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, both Zi Yu and Yue Ming were taken aback, clearly not expecting Chen Xuan to be so righteous as to be willing to help them.

“No, brother-in-law, this matter is a feud between our sect and the Sky-Piercing Sword Sect. It’s not convenient for you to get involved.” Ziyu shook her head and refused. “The six of them working together are indeed a force to be reckoned with, but our four great academies are not to be trifled with either.”

"After we recover, we plan to go down into the mine again to collect divine ore source stones. Once we have enough for two hundred source stones, we'll go and take revenge on them!" Yue Ming nodded firmly.

Chen Xuan nodded without saying anything more. With a flick of his wrist, two divine ore swords flew to Zi Yu's front. He said, "Since you are Zi Mo's sister, I'll help you out. Take them."

They found over a dozen stone knives in the ruins of an ancient village in a mining pit. Giving two to their friend's sister wasn't a big deal. It was just a matter of courtesy, and besides, these stone knives weren't exactly rare treasures.

This stone knife is only useful in this small world for slaying demons and strange creatures. Once it leaves this place, its value is so low that it is only comparable to a human-grade magic weapon, so there is nothing to regret about parting with it.

"Brother-in-law, how can we take such a powerful weapon for nothing?" Ziyu was flattered and quickly waved her hand. "If my sister finds out, she'll break my legs!"

“Yes, this is a weapon crafted by ancient cultivators specifically to deal with strange creatures and demons. We really can’t accept it.” Yue Ming also waved his hand, looking at Chen Xuan and the other person with curiosity.

Wang Kaixuan listened quietly without making a comment.

Chen Xuan simply smiled and said, "Take it if I tell you to. We've already gathered enough divine ore source stones, so this stuff is of no use to us."

Seeing Chen Xuan's earnest attitude, Zi Yu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected her brother-in-law, whom she had never met, to be so considerate. Although she and her sister were blood relatives, this was, after all, the first time she had met Chen Xuan, yet he was taking such good care of her.

"By the way, brother-in-law, you came out to find other cultivators to gather the primordial essence needed for your breakthrough, right?"

Ziyu's personality is completely different from Zimo's quiet and elegant nature; instead, it is somewhat similar to Tianxing's.

After Ziyu took the two divine ore knives, she flipped her hand over and a jade bottle appeared in her hand.

“After all, it’s the God-Slaying Guard assessment, such a brutal assessment, so no one will bring too much original liquid with them.” Zi Yu handed the jade bottle to Chen Xuan and said, “I only have less than 500 catties of original liquid here, some of which was left by Senior Brother Tian Xiao.”

"Although I am only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and have just reached the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, I brought a full eight hundred catties of this liquid with me, hoping to find an opportunity to break through." Although Yue Ming felt a little pained, he still took out all the original liquid at Zi Yu's prompting.

Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan looked at Yue Ming in surprise, never expecting this honest and simple guy to be so generous.

Eight hundred catties of source liquid. When the two brothers first planned to sell the stone knives, they thought that it would be good if each knife could sell for two or three hundred catties of source liquid.

Who would have thought that more than a thousand catties of source liquid could be obtained from just the two of them?
