Chapter 94 Legendary Abilities
Fearing that the murderous cultivator would return, Ajiu didn't even dare to collect the bodies of her family members. After stepping over the pool of blood, she hurriedly fled the house with her younger sister.

"I wanted to seek justice from the Immortal Alliance, but I didn't dare to appeal to the government office in Feng County, so I ran all the way to Chang'an City."

"Why is the Feng County government office not good enough?"

“Because my master always says that although they are nominally part of the Immortal Alliance, they are actually in cahoots with the local sects. I’m afraid these cultivators are involved with them…”

This guy harbors quite a bit of resentment towards the sect and the Immortal Alliance... No wonder he'd rather be a rogue cultivator, Chen Xuan thought to himself.

But would the Immortal Alliance headquarters handle such matters? Their main responsibility is to resolve disputes between sects; administrative issues in each prefecture city are still to be resolved by the local sects themselves.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the brother and sister never reached that point.

They had no money and couldn't enter Chang'an City. They could only wander outside the city, hoping to encounter a kind person who would take them in. However, after only two days, they found people carrying their portraits and asking around. Although the person wasn't a cultivator, but more like an ordinary villager, what villager could possibly have a portrait of the siblings at this time?
Terrified, Ah Jiu immediately ran south from the west gate area, trying to get as far away from the city as possible. The two had no food on their escape, and when thirsty, they would lick puddles from the roadside. Halfway there, his younger sister caught a fever from being caught in the rain, and her extreme weakness caused her to fall into a coma. Overwhelmed by worry and fear, he panicked and wandered aimlessly, accidentally stumbling into this suburban manor.

"Immortal Master... I want revenge! I want to know who exactly attacked our family!"

Ah Jiu was already sobbing uncontrollably as she spoke.

It sounded like a common conflict between immortals and mortals, but Chen Xuan felt that things were probably not that simple. While the two were still asleep, he had used a barcode scanner to check their abilities, and the results proved that his master was not just talking nonsense.

Ah Jiu has ten abilities in total, eight of which are white-level martial arts abilities, which he probably learned from his master.

The other two are rather eye-catching.

He then took out a barcode scanner from his pocket, pointed it at A-Jiu who was still sobbing, and pressed the button, just to confirm it one more time.

Those two abilities immediately appeared at the top of the small screen.

"Gemini" LV1, color.

"The two sides are connected in consciousness, flesh and blood, achievements, and destiny; they share both glory and loss. In layman's terms: gains are doubled, losses are discounted."

"Non-tradeable and non-transferable."

"Cultivation Genius" LV1, Gold.

"You are a one-in-a-million immortal being. Whether it's magic, divination, alchemy, artifact crafting, array formation, or divination, you can master and use them with ease. Others see immortal techniques as calculus, but you see them as one plus two."

I have to say, the description on the app is truly mind-blowing.

This was the first time he had ever seen a legendary ability other than that of the "???th Store Manager".

To be precise, there should be two.

Because Ahua also has a completely identical "twin".

In addition, the girl has another golden ability.

"Spiritual Body" LV1.

—"His affinity for and absorption of spiritual energy far surpasses that of ordinary people, and his conversion efficiency of spiritual energy is also extraordinary. Warning: Excessive conversion of spiritual energy will cause the physical body to disintegrate. The higher the proportion, the faster the disintegration. This ability often leads to a short life."

Even disregarding the legendary twin abilities, these two golden abilities alone are quite astonishing.

The faster a cultivator absorbs spiritual energy, the stronger the spells they can cast.

A cultivation genius can also ensure that the owner learns a spell in a short period of time.

Moreover, they are all passive abilities, meaning they will be fully effective no matter which cultivator they are traded to. Anyone who possesses even one of them is a prodigy of their sect.

But that's not the most outrageous thing.

Judging from the description of "Twins," it allows one person to gain benefits while the other gains the same amount, effectively doubling the benefits. In other words, Ah-Hua can also master the spells that Ah-Jiu learns, and Ah-Jiu can share in the spiritual energy that Ah-Hua absorbs.

This is equivalent to stepping on the back of your right foot with the back of your left foot and ascending to heaven.

The white spells detected on Ahua also confirm this—they are consistent with Ajiu's in both rarity and level.

That said, while the two were undoubtedly geniuses, the fact that the rogue cultivator sensed their future potential as soon as they began to cultivate Qi suggests that his master was no ordinary person either. Furthermore, the cultivator who killed them to silence them was rather strange.

Ah Jiu said that the five people arrived very suddenly, and they did not wear masks or straw hats to conceal their appearance. After entering the courtyard, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle with their master.

Their lack of secrecy suggests they never intended to leave any survivors, but they seemed unaware of the family's size. After killing and setting the fire, they left without a trace, completely oblivious to the two children hiding in the well.

Chen Xuan vaguely felt that those cultivators were probably after rogue cultivators, and that slaughtering Ajiu's family was just a convenient side effect.

“I can help you achieve this wish,” he said after a moment’s thought.

"Really?" Ajiu's expression changed, and she asked impatiently.

“That’s right. Whether you’re looking for the real culprit or seeking revenge, you need to strengthen yourself first, otherwise it’ll be like throwing an egg against a rock.” Chen Xuan replied calmly. “The Heavenly Realm is fully capable of doing that… Whether it’s the immortal techniques or power you want, it has everything you need. However, if you want to obtain them, the Heavenly Realm also has certain requirements for you.”

"Please speak, Immortal Master! As long as it's within my power..."

"Brother... what's wrong with me?" Just then, Ahua also slowly got up, clutching his forehead. "Where are we now...?"

"Are you feeling alright anywhere?" Ajiu quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't move, the immortal master is healing us." He then pressed his head against the girl's forehead, and she quickly calmed down.

"So it was this immortal master who saved our lives..." Just like Ajiu, she moved her weak body and kowtowed deeply to Chen Xuan.

Was consciousness shared just a moment ago?
Chen Xuan looked at the destined twins with great interest. "Since she has also woken up, that's perfect... I'll tell you all at once. First, you must join my sect so that you can receive the true teachings of the immortal master."

"Eh..." While Ahua was still hesitating, Ajiu had already pressed his sister's head down and knelt down again, "We are willing!"

“I know what you two are thinking… You promised your master that you would create a sect together with him. But the situation is very different now. This sect is destined to fail. Joining a sect in the Heavenly Realm will be beneficial to you in every way.” Chen Xuan said slowly. “In addition, I will neither make you treat me with the respect due to a master, nor will I give you the title of cultivator, because the Immortal Alliance has no jurisdiction over this place.”

“Of course, to make it easier for the immortal masters to distinguish you, you will be given a special student number,” he pointed to Ajiu, “You are number 9 in Class 1, Grade 1.” Then he pointed to Ahua, “You are number 10 in Class 1, Grade 1.”

"Student...number?" The two were somewhat bewildered.

Ahua was the first to react, "You mean... this is equivalent to us joining a celestial sect?"

“Yes.” Chen Xuan nodded in affirmation. “By the way, let me introduce the sect. Its name is the Heaven and Earth Supreme Sect. Remember it well.”

For a fleeting moment, a blank expression crossed Gemini's face.

"In addition, I will charge you two abilities as the price for the Heavenly Realm's intervention." Chen Xuan held up two fingers.

Since the twins cannot be traded, what he was interested in were naturally the two rare, gold-level abilities.

"Excuse me... what is this ability?" Ajiu asked, confused.

“What you acquire in this life…whether innate or acquired, can all be considered abilities.” Chen Xuan raised the barcode scanner and pressed the transaction button for Ajiu. “For example…you have the talent of a cultivation genius.”

Ajiu's eyes widened suddenly.

He was astonished to find that a very mysterious box had appeared in front of him.

Chen Xuan couldn't obtain a customer's abilities through deception or extortion; the transaction had to be based on mutual agreement. Although the annotations he saw might differ slightly from those seen by the customer, the customer generally understood the value of their abilities.

As expected, Ah Jiu was extremely shocked when she discovered that she actually possessed such a talent. One of her hands froze in the air, and she hesitated to use her ability.

"I bet you're thinking, since revenge requires power, why should I give this ability to the sect?" Chen Xuan didn't rush him. "You can do whatever you want and use this talent to avenge your master. But in that case, we won't get involved."

Snapped.

A-Jiu used her abilities to boost her power.

He didn't just choose "Cultivation Genius," he also chose three white abilities, until the trading box was completely full.

Chen Xuan had expected the other party to hesitate for a long time, but his decisiveness was somewhat unexpected.
