The Sun hung high in the sky, blinding and blinding.
However, to everyone else, the light from the Sun was nowhere near as bright as Ling Xian.
Therefore, the moment he left the competition area, he was surrounded by people he knew.
"Congratulations, Brother Ling, for becoming the fourth most influential person in the Mysterious Stone World."
"I bet before tomorrow, Brother Ling's name will be heard throughout the Northern Star Continent. Everyone will know about you."
"Yeah, he's the youngest person in history. He's destined to go down in history."
Mei Yan Rou and others who knew Ling Xian walked up. Other than congratulations, they exclaimed.
Chi Liao Yuan, in particular, was exclaiming.
He had predicted that Ling Xian would become famous at the stone evaluation gathering. But not even in his dreams did he think Ling Xian would shine so brightly.
The youngest Mount Tai and Big Dipper in history. This was a great honor!
"You are all flattering me." Ling Xian grinned. His calm demeanor made everyone feel ashamed.
If they were in his shoes, no matter how calm they were, they would still be overjoyed if they were in his shoes. Ling Xian, on the other hand, was calm and collected. Naturally, they felt a little ashamed.
"Brother Ling, I thought I had overestimated you. I cannot believe I still underestimated you."
Chi Liao Yuan exclaimed, feeling defeated.
Mei Yan Rou, Mo Qing Si, and others felt the same.
They were from the same generation as Ling Xian. Yet he had surpassed everyone else in both arrays and rare stones. This naturally made them feel bitter.
"I underestimated you as well."
Mei Yan Rou softly sighed, "In the entire world, even in the entire history, Brother Ling has a place in this world."
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and smiled, "Stop complimenting me. If you continue, I won't be able to find north."
"Haha, Brother Ling is calm and collected. He does not get carried away." Chi Liao Yuan laughed brightly.
"Not again."
Ling Xian shook his head, "Alright, I have business to attend to. I will leave first."
Hearing this, everyone didn't say anything else. They all stepped back and cleared a path.
"Goodbye." Ling Xian paid his respect to everyone and walked towards the Mo Clan's shop.
The dignified lady did the same.
Her face was full of joy and excitement.
What could they do? Ling Xian was far too capable. Whether it was arrays or rare stones, they were all top notch. For such a talented person to be pulled into the Mo Family's camp by her, one could imagine how great her contribution was and how generous her rewards would be.
Therefore, the dignified woman found it hard to hide her excitement. The way she looked at Ling Xian was full of respect and passion.
If not for the fact that she was already married, she would probably have to devote her body to him.
It couldn't be helped. A capable man could easily stir up a woman's heart.
…
At the Mo Clan's shop, Ling Xian calmed himself down and healed his wounds.
This injury was caused by him forcefully using the Heaven Peeking Eye. Although it wasn't a big deal, if he didn't recover, he wouldn't be able to use the Heaven Peeking Eye again.
Ten days later was the day to see the Stone King. Without the Heaven's Peeking Eye, even if he saw the Stone King, he wouldn't be able to see its secrets.
Therefore, Ling Xian seized the time to heal himself and tried to recover within 10 days.
Time passed bit by bit.
During this period of time, various major forces had sent people to pay a visit. All of them had a respectful attitude and brought generous gifts.
What could they do? Ling Xian was far too capable. Whether it was arrays or rare stones, he was worthy of being recruited by any force.
However, Ling Xian rejected all of them.
For one, he was healing himself, and for two, he didn't want to socialize.
He had experienced this twice. Both times, it was all flattery and meaningless.
Therefore, his rejection was straightforward and disappointed all the forces that came.
Then, Ling Xian calmed down.
He focused on healing himself and waited for the Mei Clan's letter.
Ten days later, a purple Heavenly Eye appeared between Ling Xian's brows. It was mysterious and unpredictable.
This meant that he had recovered to his original state.
"With this eye, seeing the Stone King will be meaningful."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He then closed his brows and stood up.
A day ago, he received a letter from the Mei Clan asking him to visit the Mei Clan's shop at the Strange Stones Workshop.
Therefore, Ling Xian pushed open the door and left the Mo Clan's shop.
After some time, he arrived at the Mei Clan's shop and saw Mei Yan Rou waiting for him.
"The Mei Clan sure is giving me face. They sent you, the pearl of the Mei Clan, to personally welcome me."
Ling Xian teased. He didn't think that Mei Yan Rou would respond in a serious tone, "It's not that the Mei Clan is giving you face. It's that you already have a lot of face."
"Do I have a lot of face?" Ling Xian rubbed his nose.
"Very much."
Mei Yan Rou's expression was serious as she said in a low voice, "The you right now, even if you go to Mount Meru, you would need a monk to welcome you."
"You are exaggerating."
Ling Xian chuckled. He was merely joking. He didn't think Mei Yan Rou would be so serious.
"I am not exaggerating at all. Even if you are merely a prominent figure in the Strange Stone World, it is enough for the top forces to send out elders to welcome you. Plus, you are an array grandmaster."
Mei Yan Rou's expression was serious. It was obvious that she wasn't joking.
This made Ling Xian exclaim.
Back then, he was merely a small character. Even a cultivator of the meditational level could bully him.
Yet now, he had become an important figure that even the top forces had to treat with respect. This transformation was truly unbelievable.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Take me in." Ling Xian grinned.
"Follow me."
Mei Yan Rou nodded and led Ling Xian to a secret room.
Inside the secret room sat seven people. Ling Xian recognized six of them. They were the leaders of the Mei, Qiu, and Mo Clan, as well as the other three.
As for the remaining person, he was unfamiliar. He had never seen him before.
However, this person's face looked similar to the leader of the Wen Clan. It was obvious that he was from the Wen Clan.
"Friend Ling, you are here."
The leader of the Mei Clan stood up. Everyone else stood up as well.
Though in terms of age, Ling Xian was their junior, his status was now equal to theirs.
Therefore, none of them dared to be arrogant and they all stood up.
"You are being too polite."
Ling Xian softly grinned and shifted his gaze to the man from the Wen Clan, "And you are?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Mei Clan hesitated, unsure of how to introduce him.
"I am the newly appointed leader of the Wen Clan."
The handsome man smiled. His expression was natural. There was no awkwardness nor hatred.
"He's been crippled …"
Ling Xian muttered to himself. He wasn't surprised.
He had predicted that the leader of the Wen Clan would be stripped of his position. After all, no political force would allow their leader to lose face.
"Before I came, the Supreme Elder wanted me to tell you something."
The handsome man's smile did not diminish, "He hopes that the hatred between you and the Wen Clan will be erased."
"As long as the Wen Clan doesn't provoke me again, the hatred will end."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "All in all, it depends on the Wen Clan's attitude."
"Master Ling, do not worry. Of course the Wen Clan wants to resolve the hatred." The handsome man smiled.
"I hope so."
Ling Xian looked at him deeply and shifted his gaze to the leader of the Mei Clan, "Everyone is here. It's time to invite the King of Stone."
Hearing this, the leader of the Mei Clan nodded and formed a mysterious hand seal.
The leaders of the Qiu Clan, Mo Clan, and Wen Clan did the same.
Instantly, the space twisted and turned into a golden door that appeared before Ling Xian.
