Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 911: Jealousy

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Inside an ancient and royal looking study room.

Ling Xian sat in a mahogany chair and sipped on his tea. He was waiting for the Vice Dean from the Library of Fortune.

Stone wasn’t sitting. He was standing nicely by the side, looking as cute as ever.

After leaving the Great Mausoleum, Ling Xian originally wanted to hand Stone over to Fairy Wu. Sadly, the teleportation system for the Great Mausoleum is random and doesn’t have a set place.

Therefore, he didn’t get to see Fairy Wu. He had to personally visit.

Luckily, the fact that he passed through all rounds of the Heavenly Palace was made known to the entire Library of Fortune and thus, his appearance has been imprinted into everyone’s minds. Therefore, he didn’t face any obstruction and was respectfully invited to wait here.

Currently, Ling Xian was enjoying his tea and waiting patiently.

After some time, a bright laughter arose from outside the door. Then, an elder appeared before Ling Xian.

“Haha, a valuable guest has arrived. You sure are making my Library of Fortune lively.”

Wu Dao Zi was all smiles as he looked at the grinning man. Other than compliments in his eyes, there was only anticipation.

He has heard all about Ling Xian’s achievements in the Great Mausoleum. He had won against the Goddess of Battles, beaten all 10 stone doors, and even killed three pure-blooded noble kinds.

All of these were astonishing.

Therefore, he was really admiring Ling Xian and wanted him to join the Library of Fortune.

“Don’t flatter me Vice Dean, I am no valuable guest.”

Ling Xian brandished his hand. If he was a fifth level omnipotent, then he may truly help glorify the Library of Fortune. But he was merely at the original level so he knows that Dao Wu Zi was flattering him.

However, this meant Wu Dao Zi did not see him lightly. Or else why would a fifth level omnipotent treat him so nicely right now?

“Haha, why wouldn’t you be?”

Dao Wu Zi laughed. “I have heard all about you from Wu Ning Cheng. Even I am surprised at you.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian softly smiled and changed the subject, “Don’t flatter me anymore. Today, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Of course. As long as I can help, I will help.” Wu Dao Zi rolled up his sleeve. He agreed right away.

“Don’t you want to ask me what it is first?”

Ling Xian’s eyes flashed with surprise. He didn’t think Wu Dao Zi would agree so easily. But thinking about it, he understood.

He had proven his capability and his potential. For Dao Wu Zi, using today as a chance to befriend Ling Xian was reasonable.

“As long as it’s within my abilities, then all is good.”

Wu Dao Zi smiled. He knows how shocking Ling Xian’s potential is. As long as he doesn’t die halfway, he will become an influential person.

Therefore, even if Ling Xian is unwilling to join the Library of Fortune, he wanted to befriend him. Because then, perhaps one day, he can gain something from it.

“It’s not a difficult favor. It actually benefits the Library of Fortune.”

Ling Xian smiled and moved his gaze to Stone, “Take a look, Vice Dean Wu.”

“Oh?”

Wu Dao Zi was a little startled. He has been so focused on Ling Xian that he just noticed Stone.

When he looked at Stone, his expression changed immediately.

This was because he sensed spirituality from Stone. The type of energy only the fairy kind gives off.

“This is… a fairy kind?”

Wu Dao Zi’s expression changed. This was surprising, even for him.

What could he do? The fairy kind was far too rare. Once, a powerhouse was greedy and wanted to create one. In the end, after much effort and thousands of years, he still failed.

This made it obvious just how difficult it was to create a fairy kind.

Now, there was a fairy kind standing right before him. Why wouldn’t Dao Wu Zi feel shocked?

“You are of the fifth level after all. You’re right. This is the fairy kind.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. He was very satisfied at how surprised Dao Wu Zi looked. He continued, “He is no ordinary fairy kind. He is a fairy kind transformed from a Sun Stone.”

“What? The Sun Stone?”

Wu Dao Zi shrieked in shock.

What was the Sun Stone? A high-quality heavenly stone!

Remember that the fairy kind is a very special kind. Any object or being, after turning into the fairy kind, is blessed with insane talent. However, the rarer and more valuable the original form is, the better potential post transformation.

A high-quality heavenly stone is without a doubt, the highest level of a treasure!

In other words, Stone’s talent is already astounding and his future is limitless!

Therefore, even for someone like Wu Dao Zi, who is at the fifth level, is surprised by this. Only after a long time, did he regain himself. The way he looked at Stone was heated.

“A Sun Stone. That is unbelievable.”

Wu Dao Zi’s eyes were passionate. It scared Stone, who went to hide behind Ling Xian and only stuck out half of his head.

At this, Wu Dao Zi smiled and soothed, “Child, do not be afraid. I will not harm you.”

Stone remained afraid. His little hand snatched onto Ling Xian’s sleeve for a sense of security.

“Don’t be afraid. He won’t hurt you.”

Ling Xian smiled again and rubbed his head. This made him smile brightly and he settled down.

Dao Wu Zi felt even more awkward now and was a little bitter. He didn’t think all it took was one sentence from Ling Xian to calm little Stone down.

“Vice Dean Wu.”

Ling Xian smiled again, “How is this? What do you think of my apprentice?”

“Is that even a question?”

Vice Dean Wu bitterly smiled. “Normal fairy kinds are already valuable, let alone a fairy kind transformed from a Sun Stone?”

Pausing, he continued, “Based on ancient record, there was an Emerald Rock who turned into a fairy kind. It ended up being undefeatable and soared the sky. The Sun Stone is on the same level as the Emerald Rock. Naturally he will have insane potential.”

“I think he is doing really well as well.”

Ling Xian grinned. He wasn’t showing off, but to Wu Dao Zi, that was naked gloating.

That was a Sun Stone turned fairy kind!

To put it bluntly, Stone’s future is going to be bright and limitless!

To have such an apprentice is a dream of any cultivator. Even for someone at the fifth level, he couldn’t help but feel jealous.

“Aye, I am so jealous.”

Wu Dao Zi sighed softly, “It is amazing to have such a good apprentice.”

“I got lucky. I encountered him while he was transforming and helped him.”

Ling Xian smiled. He thought, [If you know I have another apprentice who awakened the Eyes of the Falling Stars, aren’t you going to be even more jealous?]

“How come I don’t have such good luck?”

Wu Dao Zi was full of jealousy and exclaimed, “Sun Stone… if I was the only who encountered that, that would’ve been great.”

“Sadly, he’s already my apprentice.”

Ling Xian smiled and got straight to the point, “But, the intention of my visit today is to have Stone join the Library of Fortune.”

Hearing this, Dao Wu Zi was a little stunned, “Join my Library of Fortune?”
