The Sun rose and shone down on the earth.
On top of a mountain in the Ji Clan, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position and absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
He was extraordinary like an immortal. Especially under the light of the Sun, his demeanor was out of this world and out of this world.
After a long time, Ling Xian opened his eyes with some helplessness.
It wasn't because his cultivation level didn't improve, it was because some people came down from the mountain.
It's been a month since he returned to the Ji Clan. During this month, many people came to visit him. Even some of the elders who were in isolation visited personally.
It wasn't that the leader of the Ji Clan spread the news of Ling Xian repairing the stone, it was that he set a rule.
Seeing Ling Xian was like seeing the Clan Leader.
It was just a few words, but it carried a weight as heavy as a mountain and a great honor.
Even descendants who contributed greatly to the Ji Clan didn't receive such an honor, let alone an outsider.
Therefore, after those who didn't know the inside story learned about this, they all protested and begged the Ji Clan's leader to retract his order.
Those who knew the inside story didn't protest. Instead, they visited Ling Xian right away.
They weren't trying to curry favor, they were truly thankful.
Ling Xian had done far too much for the Ji Clan. Without him, even if the Ji Clan wasn't destroyed, it would be greatly weakened.
Therefore, during this month, countless people came to visit and annoyed Ling Xian to no end.
Yet, he couldn't reject them.
Everyone who came was of the upper echelon of the Ji Clan. There were even ninth leveled monsters. Ling Xian couldn't just ignore them.
"They're here again. I hope they don't bring gifts." Ling Xian was helpless. Then, he dispersed the array and allowed them to enter.
"I came uninvited. I hope Young Master Ling will forgive me for disturbing you."
A bright laughter arose. An elder in black landed on top of the mountain. His sleeves were fluttering in the wind.
Behind him were two beautiful girls. The way they looked at Ling Xian was somewhat curious and somewhat admirable.
"Senior, you are exaggerating." Ling Xian stood up. Under these circumstances, normal people would say "your presence brings light to my humble abode". However, he was too lazy to do so.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ji Clan was on the same side as him, he would've closed the door.
"Haha, you sure are talented and extraordinary." The elder in black stroked his beard and did not hide his admiration.
"You flatter me, Senior." Ling Xian faintly grinned. The elder in black was a powerhouse of the ninth level. With his current level of training, he naturally had to call him senior.
"Young Master Ling is being too humble."
The old man in black smiled and shifted his gaze towards the two girls. "Take out your gifts."
Hearing this, the two women waved their sleeves, and many treasures fell down, piling up into a small mountain.
"She really did bring a gift …" Ling Xian sighed, feeling a headache coming on.
As the saying goes, one's mouth is short of a gift, and one's hands are short of a gift. If he accepted the gift, how could he refuse it when he came to ask for it in the future?
It was not worth it to owe a favor for some treasures that were useless to him.
Ling Xian declined, "I appreciate your kindness. But these treasures … I am not worthy of them. Please take them back."
"What is Young Master Ling saying? Ordinary disciples don't know about your Ji Clan's kindness, but do you think I don't know? "
The old man in black stroked his beard and smiled. "Take it. Don't tell me you think the treasure isn't valuable enough?"
"It's not that. It's that there's no need."
"The Ji Clan and I are allies on the same side. Are you treating me like an outsider?" Ling Xian pretended to be unhappy. These were the words he used to reject people who came to visit him. It worked every single time.
"Young Master Ling, you have misunderstood. Why would I treat you like an outsider?"
The old man in black sighed, "Oh well, I will take back these treasures."
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and the mountain of treasures disappeared.
This made Ling Xian smile. He waved his hand and a cup of water appeared and landed in the hands of the old man and the two girls.
Then, the four Petals of Enlightenment landed in his, the old man's, and the two girls' cups.
Immediately, a refreshing aroma filled the air.
"It seems like taking back the treasures was the right decision. Or else I wouldn't be able to drink your tea." The old man in black shook his head and chuckled.
"Senior, you are joking. You are a guest from afar. A cup of tea is necessary."
Ling Xian softly grinned. "Please."
Hearing this, the old man in black sipped his tea. The aroma lingered in his mouth and lingered in his mouth.
He complimented, "Good tea. It is no wonder the Petals of Enlightenment are here."
"As long as you like it." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. This past month, he had tossed out more than 10 Petals of Enlightenment. If he didn't have some in reserve, he wouldn't have been able to handle it.
What could he do? Today was different from the past. When Xiao Zi was here, he could toss away a petal after he made it.
But now that Xiao Zi wasn't here, he couldn't be so extravagant.
"Haha, who doesn't like tea brewed with the Petals of Enlightenment?" The old man in black laughed brightly. Very quickly, he finished the tea in his cup.
Then, he bid farewell and left.
"I hope no one else comes."
After the old man left, Ling Xian mumbled to himself. He really didn't want to entertain him. If the Ji Clan wasn't his ally, he would've closed his door a long time ago.
Just as he was talking to himself, he suddenly felt a wave of energy. He couldn't help but to shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Someone else is here …" Ling Xian was helpless. But in the next second, his bitter smile disappeared.
Because the person who came was someone he knew.
"Ling Xian, after all, I am your creditor. Shouldn't you come out to greet me?"
A soft voice rose and a beautiful silhouette descended. Like a fairy, she was able to charm all living beings.
It was the daughter of the fallen immortal, Ye Yi.
"What kind of creditor are you? I don't owe you spiritual stones." Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"But you owe me a favor."
Ye Yi teased, "What, owing someone a favor doesn't count as owing?"
"I do owe you a favor, but you don't count as a creditor." Ling Xian was speechless.
What kind of logic was this?
Although there was such a thing as a debt of gratitude, no one would consider themselves as a creditor just because they owed him a favor.
"If I say it counts, then it counts. You have a problem with that?" Ye Yi glared at Ling Xian.
"I have no problem with that. If you say it counts, then it counts." Ling Xian felt helpless and too lazy to argue with Ye Yi.
"That's right. Come on, come out and greet me." Ye Yi smiled and landed at the bottom of the mountain.
This shocked Ling Xian. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This was too boring. Just to get him to come out and greet her, she returned to the bottom of the mountain. What a weirdo!
"Hurry up and come out to greet me. Or else I will collect interest." Ye Yi teased.
"You really are a weirdo."
Ling Xian was speechless. He didn't want to argue with Ye Yi over something so boring. In a flash, he appeared before Ye Yi.
"That's enough, Miss Ye."
"No, your attitude is not good enough. Let's do it again." Ye Yi glared at Ling Xian.
"Miss Ye, can't you be more serious? Is this fun? " Ling Xian's face darkened. When he first met Ye Yi, he thought she was a daughter of a wealthy family. Now it seems like he was very wrong.
"Of course it's fun."
Ye Yi smiled, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I am here to ask for a favor."
"Speak, what do you need me to do?" Ling Xian frowned.
