[Invincible Disciple Recruiting System: The host receives double the disciple's cultivation and insights!]

Lu Xuan was thrilled!

In other words, the disciple's cultivation equals his own, and the disciple's insights equal his own!

And double!

Lu Xuan had realized it.

Let the disciple practice hard, and he can just sit back and do it.

Fuyao, I'm sorry...

Lu Xuan thought, and Ji Fuyao's information appeared on the screen.

[Eldest Disciple: Ji Fuyao!

Realm: Mid-stage Great Profound King!

Constitution: Burning Heaven Sacred Body (Minor Success)!

Insight: The Way of Spiritual Fire (Minor Success)!

Other: Damaged Dao Foundation, Damaged Soul!

]

The system's voice rang out, "From now on, you will receive double Ji Fuyao's cultivation and insights!"

Instantly, Lu Xuan froze in place, stunned by the drastic changes taking place within him.

An immensely pure spiritual energy surged through Lu Xuan's body, crashing against his dantian like a tidal wave. Lu Xuan's cultivation continued to surge.

Qi Refining Realm!

Xuanshi Realm!

…

Late Great Xuan King Realm!

Late Great Xuan King Realm, Great Perfection!

Finally, Lu Xuan's cultivation stabilized at the early stage of the Xuanhuang Realm. The spiritual energy within him surged like a river, like a vast ocean. His black hair danced wildly, and the Emperor's aura was as deep and sealike as the ocean, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to check his body, a sudden realization of the Dao of Spiritual Fire dawned upon his mind.

The Dao of Spiritual Fire, instantly achieved!

He slowly spread his right hand, and a terrifying spiritual fire raged, constantly shifting in shape and form, moving in sync with Lu Xuan's thoughts, incredibly blazing and full of overwhelming momentum!

Lu Xuan retracted the spiritual fire, his face alight with excitement.

He doubled Ji Fuyao's cultivation, thus entering the early stages of the Xuanhuang Realm!

Similarly, he doubled Ji Fuyao's understanding of the Dao of Spiritual Fire!

Lu Xuan exclaimed that the system was incredible.

This was just the beginning; whenever Ji Fuyao achieved a breakthrough in her cultivation and gained some insights, he would gain double!

He only had Ji Fuyao as his disciple now. If he could accept tens of thousands of disciples in the future, wouldn't he be able to soar to fame?

The thought of it was exciting!

After a while, Lu Xuan gathered his thoughts and looked at his system dashboard.

"Host Name: Lu Xuan!

Realm: Early Stage of the Xuanhuang Realm! (No one can reveal the host's realm unless the host actively displays it.)

Disciple: Empress Fuyao!

Comprehension: Dao of Spiritual Fire (Great Accomplishment)!"

Lu Xuan nodded.

Excellent!

As long as others couldn't reveal his realm, he could continue to rest easy in the Dao Sect...

Just then, the system's voice rang out again.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the disciple-recruiting mission and receiving a gift package! Do you want to open it?"

Lu Xuan excitedly exclaimed, "Open it!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a One-Star Emperor Three-Hour Trial Card!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving half a dragon's flesh!"

Then the voice fell!

In the system space, these rewards instantly appeared.

Lu Xuan's mind moved, and an ancient jade slip appeared in his hand.

With a simple spiritual energy boost, he would enter the One-Star Emperor realm, lasting for three hours!

"Great stuff."

Lu Xuan put the ancient jade slip away; it would serve as his trump card!

Then, Lu Xuan took out the Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill and examined it.

Nine halos swirled around the Dao Foundation Pill, glittering like stars. An incomparably mysterious aura permeated the surroundings, the power contained within as vast as the ocean. Lu Xuan simply inhaled the lingering energy, and felt his heart clear and refreshed.

The system prompted, "This is a Heavenly-grade Dao Foundation Pill with nine halos! After consuming it, it will instantly heal any damage to your Dao Foundation."

Lu Xuan said, "Not bad."

As he spoke, Lu Xuan looked at the dragon meat in the system space. "What are the benefits of this dragon meat?"

The system replied, "This is Xuanzun-grade Fire Dragon Meat. It contains immense spiritual fire power. It's a great tonic for fire cultivators, and can enhance their cultivation!"

Lu Xuan nodded. He understood how to use these rewards.

After some research, Lu Xuan felt a little hungry. He checked the time and muttered.

"It's time for dinner, get ready. Since I don't know what to eat today, I'll try the dragon meat I got as a reward from the system."

With that, Lu Xuan walked towards the thatched cottage.

This was his kitchen.

Lu Xuan took out a piece of dragon meat and immediately had an idea: "I haven't had braised pork in ages. Let me make some."

With his broadsword in hand, Lu Xuan chopped the dragon meat into mahjong-like pieces. He started a fire and heated the oil while preparing the seasonings.

…

Dao Da Hall.

The Sect Master concealed himself and quietly entered, standing before an old man in a gray robe.

"Elder Mu, when Fuyao arrives to complete the sect initiation procedures, I'll withhold your entrance examination reward."

The gray-robed elder's eyes were cloudy, and he nodded calmly, "Okay, I understand."

The Sect Master sighed softly, "In the inner sect competition a month from now, not only will Ji Fuyao not be able to take first place, she'll be squeezed out of the top ten!"

The gray-robed elder said, "Today, Ji Fuyao easily overpowered a group of outer sect elders. It seems she retained her strength in the entrance examination! I think we need to give the other true disciples special training!"

The Sect Master nodded, "We must! A talent like Ji Fuyao must not be buried in Lu Xuan's hands!"

The gray-robed elder said, "Sect Master, when you have time, have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Xuan. If he's willing to let her go, that would be great."

The Sect Master said, "Okay."

With that, the Sect Master vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, Ji Fuyao had already stepped onto the steps of the Avenue Hall, preparing to complete the sect initiation procedures and claim her entrance examination reward.

Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red dress, ascended the steps with her slender legs. The gentle breeze caressed her perfect figure, revealing an alluring silhouette. Her eyes sparkled, and her delicate, beautiful face seemed to have stepped from a painting.

Seeing Ji Fuyao's appearance, the disciples rejoiced, their gazes dazzled, and they all made way for her.

Ji Fuyao walked deeper into the hall, where an elderly, gray-robed elder sat at an ancient stone table. His figure was hunched, and his gray robe hung loosely around him. Upon catching sight of Ji Fuyao, his cloudy eyes instantly cleared, and he smiled.

"Fuyao, the Sect Master has already instructed me. Here are your things."

With this, the gray-robed elder pushed a jade token towards her, a smile on his face.

"This is an identity token. You can drip a drop of blood into it to claim it as your master. This token will record your contribution points and also serve as your identity."

"Congratulations, Fuyao, you have become an official disciple of my Dao Sect!"

Ji Fuyao extended her delicate hand, picked up the jade token, and bowed respectfully to the gray-robed elder. "Elder, where is my entrance exam reward?"

The first prize for this entrance exam is a drop of dragon blood!

Her constitution is the Burning Heaven Sacred Body, and she cultivates fire-based techniques. A drop of dragon blood will greatly enhance her abilities!

The gray-robed elder smiled. "The Sect Master has specifically instructed that, because of Master Lu Feng's bet, this drop of dragon blood will be given to you in a month!"

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao was stunned.

The Sect Master must have done this on purpose.

Damn it!

This is all Lu Xuan's fault!

If Lu Xuan hadn't agreed to the bet, this wouldn't have been so troublesome.

At this point, Ji Fuyao had no choice but to accept the identity token, bow respectfully to the gray-robed elder, and head out of the hall.

She thought to herself, now that the dragon blood reward had been withheld, she would have to use other fire-attributed substitutes.

But no matter what, she had to win first place in the inner sect competition!

At this moment, at the hall entrance, a man in brocade robes, holding a floating fan, appeared with grace. His eyes flickered over Ji Fuyao, and he said with a smile.

"Miss Fuyao, what a coincidence! I am Lin Feng, the heir of the Lin family. I don't think you need to worry about this bet. With your talent..."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes furrowed, a flicker of displeasure on her face. "Get out!"

Lin Feng, however, did not retreat, but advanced, gently waving the floating fan and forcing a smile. "Fuyao, this month, we can have in-depth discussions and exchanges..."

Before she could finish, Ji Fuyao extended her delicate hand, and a terrifying surge of power erupted.

BOOM!

Lin Feng was flung back over ten feet, slamming heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Fuyao said coldly, "From today on, I don't want you to appear in my sight."

Everyone was a little shocked.

Ji Fuyao was too domineering, attacking at the slightest disagreement!

Lin Feng's face was bitter, and he vowed never to provoke Ji Fuyao again.

Ji Fuyao simply ignored Lin Feng, soaring into the air and flying towards Qingxuan Peak.

She was furious!

Because of Lu Xuan's bet, she had not only lost a month's worth of training resources, but even her dragon blood had been withheld!

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red dress, landed on Qingxuan Peak with unparalleled grace.

At that moment, Lu Xuan was busy working in the thatched cottage, smoke rising from the chimney.

Ji Fuyao looked towards the cottage, her beautiful eyes slightly frowning.

Lu Xuan was actually cooking?

Cultivators should practice fasting, how could they eat like ordinary people?

Confused, she hurried to the entrance of the thatched cottage.

In a large pot, oil began to bubble.

On a wooden board nearby, chopped spirit beast meat and some seasonings were already prepared.

Ji Fuyao's eyes flickered. The spirit beast meat, imbued with a powerful spiritual fire power and tinged with a lingering blood aura, immediately recognized it. "This is dragon meat. Where did you get it?"

Lu Xuan was trying to figure out how to explain it.

Ji Fuyao replied, "I know where it came from."

Lu Xuan was stunned.

???

I haven't even told you yet, how do you know?

Ji Fuyao smiled faintly. The dragon meat's spiritual fire power was extremely rich; it was probably of the Xuanzun level. It must have been left behind by the previous peak master.

Before entering the Dao Sect, she had already researched Qingxuan Peak.

The previous peak master, Sage Qingxuan, had only one disciple, Lu Xuan. When he passed away, he left behind a wealth of cultivation resources.

This was another reason why she joined Qingxuan Peak: she would have exclusive access to these resources!

Off to the side, Lu Xuan was completely unaware of Ji Fuyao's imagination. Seeing the oil temperature was just right, he poured the spirit beast meat from the wooden plank into the wok and began stir-frying!

"Sizzle!"

Ji Fuyao's brows furrowed slightly as she watched Lu Xuan prepare the dragon meat. The power contained in it was rapidly being lost!

This was a sheer waste of natural resources!

Ji Fuyao tilted her neck slightly and shook her head. "Let me do it."

Lu Xuan was stunned and questioned, "Can you cook?"

Ji Fuyao replied, "No."

Lu Xuan: "..."
