"That is how a real man should be."
The guarding disciple sighed deeply and looked at Ling Xian with envy.
A large group of powerful figures rushed up to present gifts. There were even more than 10 Clan Leaders who tried their best to persuade him. They used all sorts of shameless methods just to get Ling Xian to accept their gifts. How great of an honor was this?
To leave a deep impression in Ling Xian's heart, they were willing to fight against others until their faces were red. How unbelievable was this?
How could this guard not feel envious?
Sadly, he was not Ling Xian. He had neither dominating capabilities nor deep knowledge in arrays.
Therefore, he could only be envious of Ling Xian. He dreamed about the day when he could be like Ling Xian and enjoy the gifts given to him by a group of powerful people. Some of them were even willing to fight each other.
At this moment, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and it only left behind a wisp of light red afterglow.
On top of a tall mountain peak, a large group of people were waiting in a long line. They were waiting for their turn to present their carefully prepared gifts.
Ling Xian held onto the spiritual paper with his left hand and wrote on the paper with his right hand. He recorded down everyone's Clan. As for the gifts, he was not in the mood to look at them. He simply wanted to get rid of these people and deal with his business.
Just like that, after a long while, he finally finished registering everyone.
Ling Xian placed the white paper into his storage pouch and looked at everyone who was beaming with joy. He smiled, "Okay, I have accepted your gifts. I have also remembered the Clan you represent. Please go back."
"I will leave now. If Master Ling comes to the City of Yan, you must notify the Wang Clan. We will welcome you with open arms and open arms."
"What's so good about the City of Yan? Master Ling, don't listen to him. If you have time, come visit the Zhao Clan. Heh heh, the beauties of my Zhao Clan are all beautiful enough to put the moon to shame and the flowers to shame. They are as beautiful as fairies. "
"Go somewhere cool and stay there! Captivating fish and birds? Pfft, it's fine if you try to fool others, but you dare to fool Master Ling? Who do you think doesn't know that the girls of your Zhao Clan all look like you? Each and every one of them is tall and sturdy, with big shoulders and round waists. They're so ugly that they can be called tragic. "
"That's right. Come to my place. The scenery here is beautiful and picturesque. It's most suitable for comprehending the Dao and cultivating."
Everyone at the scene chimed in, belittling their opponents and elevating themselves. They all invited Ling Xian to visit them when he was free.
"You guys, how do you look like important people? You're clearly a bunch of scoundrels." Ling Xian scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and leave. If anyone is too slow, I will erase your name from the list."
Everyone was taken aback. They immediately stopped quarreling and began to use their own methods. In the blink of an eye, these people disappeared without a trace. Their speed was so fast that it far exceeded their usual limits.
It was obvious how impactful Ling Xian's statement was.
In the blink of an eye, all the lords who came to present gifts disappeared. There were only two people left on the mountain peak. One was Ling Xian, the other was the guard.
"Young Master Ling, I will take my leave as well."
The guarding disciple's face was full of envy as he paid his respect to Ling Xian. Then, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
He was only a Qi Condensation cultivator, so he couldn't fly away instantly like those Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Wait a minute."
Ling Xian noticed the look of envy on this person's face and stopped him with a smile.
"Young Master Ling, what are your orders?" The guarding disciple was startled, but his face remained humble.
Ling Xian's eyes were full of nostalgia. Thinking back to before he began his cultivation journey, he softly sighed, "What kind of person did you think I was?"
"Of course you were a famous genius," the guarding disciple said matter-of-factly.
"I knew you would say that. But you guessed wrong. I was once a handicap who couldn't cultivate." Ling Xian looked at the shocked young man and grinned, "You can't imagine it, right? The truth is, I can't even imagine that I would have such a glorious day. Even though a large part of it is due to luck, I think, even without external help, I will continue to work hard. "
"So, I want to tell you. Don't give up. Be firm in your Dao Heart. One day, you will become the object of envy, and not the other way around. " Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile. Looking at the young man before him reminded him of himself. This was why he encouraged him.
"Yes, I will try my best!"
The guarding disciple felt his blood boiling. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of respect and even admiration.
Not even in his dreams could he imagine that an important figure on Shi Ao Island would personally encourage him. This filled his heart with warmth. He even had the urge to die for Ling Xian.
"Very good. Even if you don't get the success you want, you will find out that your life is very interesting and different from others."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and turned around to head back to the palace. Only the next sentence that was full of encouragement echoed throughout the palace.
"Remember, success won't come looking for you. Perseverance and hard work are the only paths you can take."
"Thank you for your encouragement. I will work hard and I will not disappoint you!"
The guarding disciple's expression was emotional as he watched Ling Xian walk back into the palace. Other than respect, there was only determination.
He swore to himself that he will succeed and repay Ling Xian in the future!
Sometimes, a word of encouragement or praise from an important figure can make a small figure feel grateful and work even harder.
Without a doubt, the Ling Xian today had the right to do that.
Of course, he wasn't trying to buy people's hearts. It was just that seeing the guarding disciple reminded him of himself.
Once upon a time, he was merely a small figure.
…..
Back inside the cave, Ling Xian didn't have time to care about the gifts from the important figures. He had something important to do.
He didn't forget about the phoenix whose physical body was destroyed but whose soul flew into the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
To him, the Painting of the Nine Immortals was his biggest secret. He couldn't let anyone find out about it, not even the people closest to him.
Yet at that moment, the phoenix's soul suddenly entered the Painting of the Nine Immortals. This was very strange and suspicious. What made him even more curious was that the two immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals didn't make a sound. It was as if they had predicted this.
This made Ling Xian very confused. After waiting for a few hours, he didn't hear anything from the two immortals. Therefore, he decided to enter the Painting of the Nine Immortals and find out what happened.
"Now, let me see what is so strange about this." Ling Xian disappeared from the cave in a flash.
In the next second, he arrived inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals. The moment he appeared, he heard Feng Qing Ming's laughter.
"Ling Xian, you came just in time. I was about to call you in."
