The Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of light that surrounded all living beings.
Deep within the mountain valley, another Sun existed. Though it was infinitely smaller, its shine was intense and did not at all pale next to the undying Sun.
The Sun Stone.
It is one of the highest quality stones. The one before everyone’s eyes was also transforming into a fairy kind.
Originally, this Sun Stone had gotten extremely weak and had no chance of successfully transforming. The reason why it is able to do what it is doing now is of course thanks to Ling Xian.
Without him, the Sun Stone would’ve failed at transforming and turned into junk.

Based on its condition now, it will very likely successfully transform and turn into the extremely rare fairy kind.

Looking at the shiny Sun Stone, Ling Xian smiled. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
Any item that gains spirituality will end up possessing talent and capabilities that are rare to find. The more rare or valuable the item is, the more potential it will have.
The Petal of Enlightenment living inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals for example, has grown to the peak of the completion level the last time Ling Xian entered the painting. It was merely a step away from getting to the original level.
Plus, the ancient records state that there once was an Emerald Rock that transformed into a fairy kind. It merely took a few centuries to become undefeatable.
This proves how capable the fairy kinds are!
This Sun Stone was just as high quality and rare as the Emerald Rock. It wasn’t hard to imagine just how bright its future will be after it transforms.
In other words, this stone will be a future powerhouse with an endlessly bright future!
Therefore, why wouldn’t Ling Xian be hopeful?

I have added enough spirituality. Next, I will wait patiently.
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile.
All the materials and weapons have been burned by him and there should be enough spirituality. As to whether or not the Sun Stone can succeed, it will depend on luck.
Ling Xian cannot do more.
What he did however, helped out the Sun Stone tremendously. Without him, the stone would be dust now.

Based on the speed it’s going at, within a month, it will transform.

Ling Xian smiled. Then, he sat down in a lotus position and closed his eyes.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
The Sun Stone was suspending in midair like an undying Sun. The light it emitted was blinding. At the same time, waves of murky air surrounded it, accenting its beauty and magnificence. It was transforming, gaining spirituality, gaining intelligence, and turning into a fairy kind.
This process could be described as an extension of life. From it, one can be enlightened with the true meaning of life.
Currently, Ling Xian may look like he is resting but his soul is actually searching, learning, and using this opportunity to enlighten itself.
This was benefiting him.
Though it’s not obvious to the eyes, but more thoroughly and fundamentally understanding Daos will help him with his breakthroughs.
Just like that, the Sun Stone was slowly transforming while Ling Xian was enlightening.
Just as he predicted, after one month, the Sun Stone was no longer emitting light. Its physical appearance also slowly turned into an eight to nine-year-old boy.
His eyes were large, his skin was pale, he was cute like a doll. His black stone like eyes flashed with innocence.
At the same time, Ling Xian opened his eyes as well. He shifted his focus onto the young boy and smiled,
Not bad. At birth, you already have Qi of the ninth level. You are a fairy kind transformed from a Sun Stone after all.

Hearing this, the boy’s eyes flashed with fear. However, he seemingly wanted to get closer to Ling Xian.
Because he had gained intelligence, he somehow knew that the man before him helped him.
Seeing this, Ling Xian kindly smiled,
Do not fear. I will not harm you. As you know, I helped you.


Yes. I… I can sense that you… you are my savior.

The young boy was very happy and cute. Though his speech speed is slow, it is very firm. He knew Ling Xian had saved him therefore, he felt close to this person before him.

So don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.

Ling Xian brightly smiled and got straight to the point,
I want to admit you as my apprentice. What do you say?


Me? As an apprentice?

The boy was a little stunned. He had just gained thoughts and didn’t fully understand what this meant. However, he felt very comfortable with Ling Xian so he nodded,
I want to.


Very well.

Ling Xian smiled. The boy was transformed from the Sun Stone. His talent without a doubt, is insane. If trained well, he will for sure be a powerhouse in the future.
This was why Ling Xian wanted him as an apprentice.

Hmm, you were originally a Sun Stone. So I will call you little Stone.
Ling Xian paused before naming him.
Hearing this, the boy smiled. His eyes turned into a line, making him look even cuter.

I will first teach you something. Remember it and practice it.
Ling Xian’s tone turned serious.
Then, he pressed between Stone’s brows with his index finger. The Shang Qing Technique appeared inside his brain. After a while, Ling Xian took off his hand. Stone opened his eyes, his chubby cheeks looked happy.
Though he had just gained intelligence, he was a fairy kind after all. He was extremely sensitive and enlightened. Therefore, he knew that this technique is not ordinary.
He originally thought of Ling Xian as a dad or a brother. Now, he felt even closer to him.

You are a fairy kind after all. I am looking forward to your future achievements.

Ling Xian softly smiled and rubbed Stone’s head out of happiness. However, he was troubled by what to do with little Stone next.
The journey he was about to walk is a dangerous one. It wasn’t appropriate to bring a child along. Putting him inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals was also not appropriate. Because it would limit Stone’s freedom.
He was also in Tianzhou, a place he isn’t familiar with. If he was in Yunzhou, he could ask Dao Wu Ji to take care of Stone.
After some time, he thought of a good place.
The Library of Fortune.
After his conversations with Wu Dao Zi, he could sense that he wasn’t a bad guy. The Library of Fortune was also a place where top talents in Tianzhou converge. They have a lot of resources and knowledge. So if little Stone grows up there, then he will have a great environment to grow up in.
It’d be a lot better than accompanying Ling Xian to cross fires or walk through water.
More importantly, Fairy Wu was his friend. He didn’t need to worry.

There it is.

Ling Xian faintly smiled and looked over to Stone,
Your master will have a treacherous road to walk on. I would bring you much inconvenience. I plan on taking you somewhere. Do you want to come?

Hearing this, Stone’s face revealed his unwillingness. There were giant tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ling Xian rubbed his head and gently grinned.
I am not abandoning you. I am simply temporarily leaving you at that place. We are still teacher and student.

At once, Stone’s crying face turned into a smiling one. His eyes squinted into crescents.

What a cute fella.

Ling Xian grinned. Then, he rolled up his sleeve and carried Stone towards the parterre.
Time was almost up after all. It was time to return to the Great Mausoleum and be teleported back to the external world.
