After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Xu Ze accepted the offer.

After all, he also had some selfish motives.

I wonder if having the title of city lord will allow me to recruit some disciples for the Xuanling Sect?

I don't know.

His current prestige is far greater than he imagined.

Xu Ze, along with Bai Yuxi, purchased a mansion in the city at an extremely low price.

No one wanted to take his money, but Xu Ze was very principled.

Ultimately, the deal was closed at cost price.

"Xu Zhenxian, we'll be neighbors from now on. This is just a small token of my appreciation..."

"Lord City Lord, would you like to eat our steamed buns again? If so, I'll send them to you every morning when the first batch comes out of the steamer..."

"Fairy, please take a look at our fabrics! We're sure to give you the best!"

……

In the days that followed, Xu Ze experienced the extreme enthusiasm of the people of the entire city.

As a result, Bai Yuxi is also considered by everyone to be Xu Ze's Daoist partner.

As for the Ninth Princess, Mu Qinghe.

She's almost completely withdrawn.

Because, ever since Bai Yuxi came.

The two practiced together every day.

Bai Yuxi passed on the secret techniques of the fox clan to Xu Ze through some peculiar "connection" method.

This method is somewhat similar to "data cable transmission".

Plug and play, incredibly flexible.

Xu Ze's cultivation level also broke through rapidly, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the [Supreme Yang Body] is an unparalleled dual-person cultivation physique, a perfect match for Bai Yuxi's Nine-Tailed Fox Body.

As for the specific details of the double row.

The little girl had secretly watched and secretly listened to it.

She felt truly desperate.

I feel lost and dejected every day.

"There is still a month and a half until the eighth day of the ninth month. In such a short time, I need to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Xu Zeming had just broken through to the Core Formation and formed the Nascent Soul stage.

The far north where the Ding family is located is the region with the highest cultivation level among cultivators in Beiju Luzhou.

Even if you have [Enma] as a trump card, you should still try your best to improve yourself.

If one could reach the Nascent Soul realm, walking would be much easier.

Therefore, Xu Ze needs to focus on breaking through to a higher realm in the time ahead.

With the final part of the "Mysterious Spirit Dividing God Technique" trilogy, breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage would be a piece of cake for him.

"Once the Divine Distraction Technique is mastered, the three parts will be practiced together. I wonder what will happen then."

Xu Ze remembered that the system had given him a warning before.

If he can master all three techniques together, unexpected changes will occur.

During these days of his 'day and night' and 'day after day' practice.

The news of the Xuanling Sect's reappearance and recruitment of disciples spread throughout the entire Northern Continent, even surpassing the popularity of the Ding family's wedding.

Because Xu Ze is the sect leader here.

The scene of him single-handedly stopping the horde of zombies that day has been passed down by word of mouth and has become a complete myth.

In Donghua City alone, tens of thousands of cultivators wanted to sign up.

Not to mention that there are cultivators from other places, even outside the Northern Continent, who come here because of its reputation.

Most of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, a few at the Golden Core stage, and a few at the Nascent Soul stage wanted to serve as stewards or elders.

Xu Ze underestimated his influence.

The requirement of having one hundred disciples was met long ago.

"I wonder what exactly is inside this 'Hall of Inheritance'?"

He looked at the 24-hour countdown.

In just one day, the Xuanling Sect's 'Inheritance Hall' will be unlocked.

To Xu Ze's surprise, this was not a day in the game.

It's actually a day in the real world!

Now, the sky in the real world is just beginning to brighten.

……

"Master, master~"

Since arriving in Donghua City and meeting Xu Ze, Bai Yuxi hasn't even left the mansion these past few days.

After achieving the Core Formation, she used the secret techniques of the fox clan and combined them with her unique physique, and her cultivation level also improved rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Mu Qinghe was overtaken by her.

Of course, this refers to being surpassed in cultivation level.

One day in late summer, an autumn rain quietly arrived.

The rain was as fine as cow's hair, and it fell continuously for three days.

The sycamore leaves in the courtyard rustled as they were struck, ripples spread across the pond, and the entire city of Donghua was shrouded in a misty rain.

The air was fresh and moist on a clear morning after the rain.

Xu Ze practiced his sword in the courtyard. With the old sword in hand, his sword intent was restrained. Every move was simple and unadorned, yet it contained the Daoist charm of returning to simplicity.

The rain soaked his robes, outlining his tall and straight figure.

"Practicing the sixth form of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique seems to have touched the threshold of mastering sword intent..."

The scene of Teacher Ding Wan slaying ten Void Refinement stage cultivators with a single sword strike that day is still vivid in my mind.

Xu Ze felt that his Burning Heaven Sword Intent was about to experience a long-awaited breakthrough after leaving the Nameless Peak.

Not far away.

Bai Yuxi was sitting on the veranda, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.

She changed into a light, pale yellow dress, her long hair loosely tied up, revealing a section of her snow-white neck.

Her peach blossom eyes stared unblinkingly at Xu Ze, filled with undisguised admiration.

"Master's swordsmanship has improved again," she said softly, her voice gentle and sweet.

Xu Ze sheathed his sword and walked to the corridor.

Bai Yuxi immediately got up, picked up the handkerchief she had prepared, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the rain off his face.

The movements were natural and affectionate.

Xu Ze looked down at her.

The girl looked up, her expression focused, with tiny water droplets clinging to her long eyelashes.

The two were very close, close enough to feel each other's breath.

"I can do it myself." Xu Ze took the handkerchief.

Bai Yuxi refused to let go, instead leaning forward, almost pressing herself into his arms: "Master, after the rain stops, shall we... continue our cultivation?"

As she said this, her ears turned slightly red, but her eyes were bold and passionate.

Xu Ze did not refuse and nodded.

The two entered the quiet room, as always.

Behind the pillars, a small figure peeked out.

Mu Qinghe bit her lip.

She watched as the door to the quiet room slowly closed, listening to the faint sounds coming from inside.

The little girl's face was as red as a ripe apple.

Even when he used magical treasures, his mother didn't come to arrest him.

But she herself was starting to want to go back.

That vixen is bullying us!

It's been like this for days!

And she even had to call Xu Ze away when she was secretly watching!

……

Exactly one month after Bai Yuxi arrived.

It was midday again, after the rain.

Mu Qinghe finally broke down.

With red eyes, she rushed into Xu Ze's room, her voice trembling with tears, "Brother! I want to cultivate too!"

Xu Ze was studying the pill formula when he heard this and was taken aback: "What?"

"I said, I want to cultivate too!" Mu Qinghe stomped her foot and pointed to the quiet room next door. "Since that fox can cultivate with you, so can I!!"
