More than thirty sealing stones floated above the Tomb of the Living Dead, bathing in divine multicolored light as they accepted the baptism.
Below, Ling Xian's expression was serious and he didn't dare to be reckless.
Even though the Stone Mending Technique was a supreme profound technique, he'd only attained a higher level in it, so it was undoubtedly extremely difficult for him to repair these 30 plus sealing stones.
Therefore, Ling Xian calmed himself down and concentrated.
As time passed, his face became paler and his forehead was covered in sweat.
It couldn't be helped. The consumption of the Stone Replenishing Technique was too great. Not only did it consume a lot of magic power, but it also consumed a lot of mental energy.
Even a ninth realm cultivator would not be able to hold on for long.
"Sure enough, it's unrealistic to repair more than thirty sealing stones at once."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The Stone Replenishing Technique consumed far too much spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was secondary, the most important thing was the amount of energy it consumed.
Even though his soul was far stronger than others of the same level, he couldn't hold on for long.
"Looks like I can only repair them one by one."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Even though this process was time-consuming, it was safe and stable.
At that moment, he only left one sealing stone to bathe in the Heavenly Light. The rest of the stones returned to the coffin.
Immediately, the Stone Mending Technique came into play.
Previously, the power of the Stone Mending Technique was too scattered, so it was impossible for it to take effect in a short period of time. Now that he only needed to repair one strange stone, it was naturally effective.
He saw that there were fewer cracks on the strange stone. Although it was less than one-tenth of its original size, it was still a ray of hope.
At the very least, it proved that the stone replenishing method was feasible.
Therefore, the leader of the Ji Clan revealed a smile and found it hard to conceal his excitement.
Ji Huang was the same.
The sealing stone was too important to the Ji Family. Now that they saw the hope of restoring it, how could they not be excited?
"Don't celebrate too early. It might not be completely repaired."
Ling Xian's expression was heavy. Even the titans were helpless. It wasn't hard to imagine how difficult it was to repair the sealing stone.
Even if he had the Stone Replenishing Technique, he wasn't completely confident.
"I believe you." Ji Family Master smiled.
"I hope so." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. His hand seal did not change and the heavenly light never faded.
Even though he was only repairing a Wondrous Sealing Stone, it was bound to be a long process, and it was undoubtedly a huge burden to him.
Luckily, Ling Xian was on the path of the undying soul and the path of the unending technique.
Time passed bit by bit. Two months later, the cracks on the strange sealing stone had almost disappeared.
This meant Ling Xian succeeded and saved the life of an ancestor of the Ji Clan.
"Haha, good!" The leader of the Ji Clan laughed out loud as tears appeared in his eyes.
Ji Huang was about the same. One could imagine how happy the two were.
"It's not easy …"
Looking at the sealed stone that was as good as new, Ling Xian exhaled deeply. He was relaxed and shocked.
Wondrous stones were extremely difficult to repair, especially sealing wondrous stones that were on the verge of shattering. This was sufficient proof of how miraculous the Stone Mending Method was.
Of course, this was also related to Ling Xian.
The Stone Mending Technique consumed a lot of energy. Not everyone could persist for two months, and not everyone could rely on this technique to repair a sealed stone that was on the verge of shattering.
Ji Clan Master and Ji Huang were also amazed.
They knew very well how difficult it was to repair the sealed stone. Even the titans were helpless, yet Ling Xian had done it. How could they not be shocked?
"Impressive. It is no wonder the titans all praise you so much." The leader of the Ji Clan complimented.
"You are flattering me. I was merely lucky." Ling Xian smiled softly and was at ease.
"That's not an exaggeration at all. This is something that even the most influential figures in the world couldn't do.
Seeing how calm Ling Xian was, the leader of the Ji Clan complimented him even more, "If this gets out, the entire Mysterious Stone World will be shocked."
"Then please don't tell anyone." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't want to stand in the eye of the storm.
"Everyone wants to be famous. Things that can shock people, they all want to know about it."
The Ji Clan Leader exclaimed, "You sure are good. You did something so shocking and you don't want anyone to know about it."
"Such a small matter. There is no need to make a big deal out of it."
Ling Xian smiled, "Okay, it is time for me to continue my repair."
Then, a purple stone levitated into the air. Though there was no light, it was emitting shocking energy.
It was obvious that the Ji Clan's ancestor inside was extraordinary. At the very least, he was of the ninth level.
Heavenly light swirled around and a strange force emerged. Ling Xian formed a hand seal and focused on repairing the purple stone.
After his first successful experience, this time was even smoother. Though the time didn't decrease by much, it made him more familiar with the process.
Therefore, it only took him a month to repair the third strange stone.
The fourth one only took 20 days.
Without a doubt, this was a number to be proud of. Even if the titans learned the Stone Mending Technique, they couldn't do it. They couldn't even successfully repair it.
After all, the Stone Mending Technique uses up a lot of energy and is extremely difficult to activate. Not everyone can do it.
However, after Ling Xian shortened the time to half a month, he could no longer improve.
Half a month seemed to be his limit. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shorten the time by even a little.
This meant to repair all 30 odd stones, it would take at least a year.
To cultivators, a year's time is very short. One round of isolation can take a few years. However, Ling Xian didn't want to waste time on repairing the stones.
Therefore, he calmed himself down and continued to repair the stones while enlightening himself on the Stone Mending Technique.
Slowly, Ling Xian improved. It wasn't that his enlightenment abilities increased, it was that under the circumstances of repairing the stones, he was able to understand the nature of the Stone Mending Technique.
Therefore, he went from being a beginner to being a beginner.
The time needed to repair the stones was also decreasing.
By the time he reached the 20th stone, Ling Xian could now completely repair it in eight days.
"This is a pleasant surprise."
Ling Xian softly grinned. His Stone Mending Technique was now a beginner and was heading towards perfection. This naturally made him happy.
The leader of the Ji Clan and Ji Huang were ecstatic as well.
Ling Xian had already repaired 20 stones. Without exception, all of them were completely repaired.
This meant, as long as no accidents happen, he can repair all the stones and solve the Ji Clan's crisis!
Therefore, the leader of the Ji Clan was ecstatic and whispered to Ji Huang, "The Ji Clan's crisis is finally over. How do you think we should thank him?"
"He didn't come for the gift." Ji Huang frowned.
"I know. But his kindness is far too heavy. I can't just not thank him."
The leader of the Ji Clan teased, "Why don't I marry you to him?"
"Father …" Ji Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He doesn't like your daughter."
"Before, when we talked about this, you didn't like him. Why are you saying he doesn't like you?"
The leader of the Ji Clan was suspicious, "You can't have fallen in love with him, can you?"
"Father, don't talk nonsense." Ji Huang frowned, a little unhappy.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." The leader of the Ji Clan smiled and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian. There was admiration and anticipation.
