This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The little spirit of the spring suddenly froze, its body inexplicably stiffening on the spot.

In that instant, it clearly saw the fleeting, majestic, and mysterious glint in Li Daoxuan's eyes, giving it the feeling that its very soul was being watched.

A sudden panic gripped my heart, and I was so frightened that I dared not move.

After regaining his senses, he immediately plunged into the spiritual spring and dared not show his face again.

Li Daoxuan chuckled upon seeing this, thinking to himself that this little thing had a perception far beyond that of ordinary people, and was able to sense that he was different from others.

Shopkeeper Fang couldn't help but find the little sprite's appearance rather strange.

"This little thing is unusually well-behaved today..."

After muttering something to himself, Manager Fang quickly smiled at Li Daoxuan and said:

"You flatter me, esteemed guest."

He then took Li Daoxuan to the top-tier courtyard.

Right next to the spring, there are three separate courtyards surrounding the spring, with the spring water being drawn from underground into the courtyards, like a well.

The well continuously emits incredibly pure spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy is far purer than that inside the spirit crystal coin, with almost no impurities mixed in.

No wonder the price is so high.

Li Daoxuan stood at the entrance of the courtyard, glanced at another courtyard not far away directly opposite, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Manager Fang, are the people staying in that courtyard also your guests?"

Manager Fang followed his hand and shook his head, saying:

"That's our boss; he rarely shows his face."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

No wonder such a blessed place could be located in Qingyun City, where there are many experts; it turns out that there is a master from the Ninth Heaven in charge.

After settling Li Daoxuan in, Manager Fang took his leave.

After touring the courtyard, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim:

"It was worth the price..."

Looking at the small spiritual spring in the courtyard, Li Daoxuan waved his hand and conjured a table and chairs out of thin air, then leisurely sat down to drink tea.

Searching through the Thirty-Six Heavenly Methods in his mind, he finally focused on one of them, "Taihua Yixing".

This is a method of transformation. Mastering this method allows one to transform into any other living being at will. At a high level of cultivation, one can even transform into all things in the world.

The key point is that this change is not a trick, but a fundamental change in the primordial embryo, even altering the characteristics of the primordial spirit.

Unless one is an immortal with extremely high cultivation, it is impossible to tell.

After retrieving the transformation technique, Li Daoxuan began to study it carefully. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Three months, plus the help of merit points, is enough to master the basics."

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to enter a meditative state, a small head suddenly emerged from the spiritual spring beside him.

Li Daoxuan did not open his eyes, but his divine sense clearly perceived it.

The little thing must have sneaked here along the waterway of the spirit spring.

At this moment, he was secretly peeking out with half his head, his big eyes darting around furtively, sizing up Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan simply pretended not to know, wanting to see what this thing was trying to do.

Inside the spiritual spring, the little creature observed for a long time. Seeing that Li Daoxuan seemed to be asleep, it mustered its courage and floated out of the spring.

Her body was like a gentle breeze, light and agile, floating in mid-air. Sometimes she would sneak into Li Daoxuan's house to look around, and sometimes she would land on the table next to Li Daoxuan to secretly drink a sip of his tea.

That was tea conjured by Li Daoxuan through "manipulating creation," naturally the finest tea in the world.

Even with such a rare item, the little thing still spat it out with a look of disgust after taking a sip.

Seemingly having grown tired of playing, the little creature slowly floated in front of Li Daoxuan, hovering there, tilting its head and curiously watching him close his eyes and enter meditation.

Her small, cute nose twitched from time to time, as if she were smelling Li Daoxuan's scent.

I don't know what it smelled, but the little thing's eyes lit up instantly, its face full of surprise.

I found myself somewhat captivated without even realizing it.

Then it slowly floated down and lay directly in Li Daoxuan's arms, closed its eyes, and fell asleep...

Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and looked at the little thing sleeping soundly in his arms, feeling both amused and exasperated.

I never expected that this thing would actually cling to me.

"As expected of a spirit born of nature, such powerful spiritual instincts."

Li Daoxuan sighed inwardly.

He knew perfectly well why the little thing was lying in his arms for no apparent reason.

This is because he is a unique Taoist immortal in the world. Not only has his physical body been nourished and transformed by immortal energy, becoming pure and immaculate, but he also possesses a blessed aura that allows him to create a new path.

This elf was innocent and naive by nature, but it instinctively sensed that Li Daoxuan would not harm it and would be of great help to it.

That's why it snuggled in Li Daoxuan's arms to sleep.

"Alright, with you here, the spiritual energy in my courtyard will be even stronger..."

Li Daoxuan ignored it and let the little thing sleep in his arms while he slowly entered a meditative state to comprehend the supernatural power of transformation and rebirth.

In the courtyard opposite the Spirit Spring, a beautiful woman in her forties looked curiously at the courtyard where Li Daoxuan was, her eyes clearly showing some surprise.

"How did this little thing get off there?"

The beautiful woman beckoned to a maidservant not far away and gave the order:

"Go and call Manager Fang over."

The maid obeyed and left, returning shortly afterward with Manager Fang.

"Boss, you called me?"

The beautiful woman pointed to the courtyard across the street and asked:

"What is the origin of those who live there?"

Manager Fang glanced at it and replied honestly:

"A man from out of town, who was very generous, and whose travel permit indicated that he came from Tianshui Town in the southwest."

"The Southwest? When did such a person emerge from the Southwest?"

The beautiful woman was somewhat puzzled; she couldn't discern the true extent of Li Daoxuan's abilities.

Although Manager Fang also possessed cultivation, it was only at the third level, so he naturally couldn't see through the clues.

The beautiful woman waved for Manager Fang to leave, hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the doorway, smiled, and gently waved his hand, opening the courtyard gate.

Then he shook the little one in his arms awake and laughed:

"Little sprite, your owner is here to see you, wake up!"

The little creature groggily opened its eyes, paused upon recognizing Li Daoxuan, and seemed startled. It immediately took to the air, flew into the air, and looked at Li Daoxuan with a lack of confidence, saying:

"Um...I...I didn't mean to, it's just..."

The little sprite hurriedly tried to explain, but didn't know how.

Just then, the beautiful woman arrived at the door and gracefully bowed to Li Daoxuan, saying:

"Greetings, sir. I am the owner of this inn. I have just met you, esteemed guest."

When the little spirit saw the beautiful woman approaching, it quickly flashed and flew onto her body, sitting on her shoulder, its big eyes occasionally stealing glances at Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan rose and returned the greeting, saying:

"Oh, it's the boss. Thank you for your courtesy."
