Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 255

Chapter 255
The Sun had just rose . Since the creation of the perfect Foundational Dan, half a month had passed .



Because the abode Ling Xian was staying at was completely demolished, he temporarily moved to the mountain peak where Yun Yan stayed .

Currently, he sat inside a newly built room, enlightening himself with the inheritance from the Immortal of Arrays .

To him, the most important matter on hand was waiting for the opening of the Palace of Fortune and stealing the Yellow Fruit of Mystery . Then, he needed to break the Immortal Trap in order to reach the completion level right away .

To achieve all his goals, he needed to work hard and thoroughly understand Feng Qing Ming’s inheritance .

Currently, he was completely focused on the matters at hand . He was completely unaware of how much chaos the 36 islands were in because of him .

He had no idea that a powerful alliance was on their way to challenge him .

However, even if he knew, the most reaction he'll have would be a little surprised . Then, he would laugh at all this silliness and carry on with his business .

After three years of solitude and training, Ling Xian has grown even more collected and his undefeatable mentality was even more polished . Why would he feel troubled by those who wanted to provoke him?

He didn’t care much for them . The stronger the opponent, the better for him . He would never quiver in fear because of an enemy’s capabilities .

"Master, master . "

A clear and crisp voice suddenly rung, awakening Ling Xian .

He slowly lifted his head and gaped at the pretty young woman with a smile . "Ah, look at you . Ever since I moved here with you guys, you have called me Master hundreds of times . You really don’t let me quietly train do you?"



"Master, I am bothering you because I have something to discuss with you!" Yun Meng stuck out her tongue . Her movements were energetic and cute .

Ling Xian shook his head helplessly and asked, "What is it?"

"What else? Someone else is here with gifts . " Yun Meng giggled, her eyes flashed with proudness .

Though those people weren’t here to visit her, in her mind, since Ling Xian was her Master, anyone visiting him made her feel proud .
"Not again…"

Ling Xian bitterly chuckled, getting a headache .

Ever since he brewed a perfect Foundational Dan, everyone came to visit him . Whether it was morning or night, there was always a long line before his door .

Though this was anticipated, when it actually happened, he was still deeply troubled .

He had the intention to say no, but he could not handle everyone’s thick skin .

Remember that those people were of the powerful or of the wealthy!

They were all people with reputation and status .

To see Ling Xian, they ditched their prestigious positions and had done every shameless thing possible . How could Ling Xian simply reject?

In the end, Ling Xian had to greet them all .

Once he started, he couldn’t stop . Without a reason to decline those who came after, he sustained a headache out of annoyance .



If Ling Xian’s actual thoughts were spread around, a countless number of cultivators would curse him for being unappreciative .

To be visited by powerful figures with expensive gifts was a scenario every cultivator imagines and fights for!

If this event actually happens in their lives, they would wake up in the middle of the night laughing .

But what about Ling Xian?

He has what everyone wants, but he was annoyed by it . How could others not be jealous?

Luckily, others will never be able to read his mind . If they could, many cultivators’ hearts would be broken out of jealousy .

"Hehe, Master, you are getting annoyed, aren’t you?"

Looking at Ling Xian’s as-if-in-pain face, Yun Meng smirked, "What are you getting annoyed about? Just let those people come in, get the gifts, then shoo them away . "

"You think I am greedy like you?" Ling Xian glared at her, "They are all trading their gifts for favors . Do you know what that means? You take their gifts today, you need to work for them tomorrow . "

"So what, you have to . Setting up arrays or making Dans are easy for you," Yun Meng smirked again, she didn’t think any of this was a big deal .
"Though that is the case, where would I find the time?" Ling Xian shook his head helplessly, "You think everyone’s like you? Who plays around daily and doesn’t work hard at all?"

"Psh . . . "

Yun Meng rolled her eyes and said, "Training is so boring . You are training day after day, are you not tired of it? playing around every day is free and fun . "

"You… talking to you is wasteful . " Ling Xian sighed and shifted his gaze to Yun Yan, "What good ideas do you have?"

"Hmm…" Yun Yan paused . Hesitantly, she suggested, "If you do not want to see those people, I can get them to go away . "

"Do you have a way to solve the problem at the root?" Ling Xian asked .

"You can claim that you are now in seclusion for cultivation purposes and do not want to see anyone," Yun Yan thought about it .

Ling Xian was silent for a while . Based on the situation, this was the best idea right now . It would decline those people nicely and allow him some peace .

"Okay, then it’s settled . Let’s do it that way," Ling Xian nodded softly, "Go tell everyone I am currently training for a new technique and I refuse to see anybody . Tell them to leave . "

"Yes, I will do that now . "

Yun Yan nodded and walked out of the house .

Seeing this, disappointment appeared on Yun Meng’s face . She said in a low voice, "Master, is this really ok? Everyone came with expensive gifts . "

Perhaps she wanted to emphasize the important part of this matter, she enunciated the "expensive" part of her statement .

Obviously, she wanted those gifts .

Ling Xian understood and laughed, "Girl, you really are stingy . "

"Stingy? I am economical . Master, I am thinking on your behalf . These are all gifts of great value, of great great value . " Yun Meng pouted and drew a big circle with her arms to indicate how expensive those gifts were .

"No matter how valuable they are, I do not need them . I can generate that wealth by selling a few Dans . There is no need to accept their gifts and owe them favors," Ling Xian faintly smiled, didn’t care much for those gifts .

With his abilities today, what he was saying was no exaggeration . Putting aside his ancient array knowledge, his ability to easily brew seventh ranked Dan was enough to make him rich .

It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to make the claim that his wealth was like a stream that never runs dry . He could have as much supply of spiritual stones as he wanted . Why would he care about these people’s offerings?

This was the difference in social status and capabilities .

If this was anyone else, they would smile so much their lips couldn’t close if there were people lining up with gifts . They would want as much gift as possible .

But Ling Xian thought of it as a headache and even annoyance .

This was all because, with his status and capabilities, he doesn’t care about those things .

One has to admit that Ling Xian’s transformation was far too aggressive .

Within five years, he metamorphosed from a handicap who didn’t even have change in his pockets, to today, a peerless Heaven’s Favorite who’s accomplishments were glorious and prominent .

Such graceful transformation was definitely heaven-defying .

Just like that, Ling Xian decided to live in seclusion in order to truly grasp Feng Ming Qing’s inheritance .

Time passed little by little .

Half a month later, an event occurred that rattled the entire 36 islands . Only then, did he pause his studies and burst out his front door .
