This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The little sprite rubbed its eyes, seemingly unable to believe it.

It is a creature born from the spiritual spring. Controlling it is tantamount to controlling a spring that can continuously generate spiritual energy.

Moreover, as a living being, it possesses the potential for continuous growth. When it reaches its full potential, it may even create a celestial-grade spiritual vein, which can not only generate spiritual energy but also continuously produce treasures like spirit crystals.

Whether it's a powerful sect or a rogue cultivator in the mountains, everyone regards this kind of spirit as a priceless treasure.

This is the first time since its birth that it has encountered someone who doesn't want to possess it.

The little spirit didn't speak, but simply nodded silently, and then swallowed its innate spiritual root in one gulp.

A few breaths later, its body began to float up slowly and involuntarily.

Streams of emerald green light shot out from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, swirling and dancing around it.

The spiritual energy in the air began to increase rapidly, and Li Daoxuan could clearly feel it even without using his Dharma Eye.

The flowers, grass, and trees on the ground began to grow wildly, and in just a short while, they were already lush and green.

The little spirit floated in mid-air, its spiritual energy fluctuations growing stronger and stronger. When the spiritual energy within its body was released to its maximum, its physical body seemed to be a rapidly collapsing singularity, and began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy from all directions.

The spiritual energy emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger.

Li Daoxuan stood aside watching this scene and couldn't help but marvel.

The world is truly wondrous; such creatures can be born from the heavens and earth.

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from the distant jungle, followed by more and more noises coming from all directions.

Li Daoxuan scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately understood what had happened.

It turned out that wild animals from all directions had been attracted here.

Among them was even a powerful and powerful beast.

Without a doubt, in the eyes of these wild beasts, the little spirit was just like Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West.

As long as they can eat the little monsters, they can directly complete their transformation, awaken their intelligence, and embark on a completely different extraordinary path.

Li Daoxuan smiled and muttered to himself:

"Alright... I'll play Sun Wukong for once..."

Having said that, a trace of the pressure of an Earth Immortal suddenly dissipated.

In an instant, the roars of all sorts of wild beasts rang out.

Whether they were ordinary beasts or exotic beasts, they all fled in an instant, never daring to approach again.

The little sprite's transformation didn't last long; it woke up in just a few minutes.

After merging with its own innate spiritual root, the little spirit underwent a very noticeable change.

One of the changes was his size; he was originally only about a foot tall, but now he has grown to the size of a two- or three-year-old child.

Secondly, the spiritual energy emanating from it is far more concentrated than before.

With every gesture, one can unconsciously increase the concentration of spiritual energy around them.

The little sprite fell from mid-air, glanced at Li Daoxuan, and immediately knelt down.

"Thank you so much for rescuing me, thank you so much for rescuing me..."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan smiled and said:

"Everything is predestined. You and I are connected by fate. It was merely a small act of kindness on my part. Alright, you may rise now..."

The little sprite shook its head upon hearing this, and said seriously:

"I have another request. I implore my benefactor to take me in and let me stay by your side."

"The outside world is too terrifying. Whether it's humans or other beings, they all want my life. Only my benefactor has never had any evil intentions towards me."

"Please, benefactor, take me in, otherwise this little thing certainly won't survive..."

After saying that, the little spirit kowtowed several times, its voice choked with emotion, sounding so childish that it softened everyone's heart.

What it said made sense. Although this little thing was a unique creature born of nature and possessed the ability to manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was actually very weak.

Even if one gains control over their own innate spiritual root and achieves a certain level of growth, their strength is probably not as great as that of an ordinary fourth-level martial artist.

Li Daoxuan looked troubled and hesitated before saying:

"But I have no fixed abode and wander the world, so it would be quite inconvenient to bring you along..."

The little sprite was taken aback upon hearing this, and its eyes visibly dimmed.

Li Daoxuan felt a pang of pity and sighed, saying:

"Alright, I happen to need to find a spiritually beautiful place as the foundation for my lineage. You can come with me for now."

The little spirit was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.

Looking at its adorable appearance, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel much better.

Reaching out to help him up, he looked him up and down and smiled:

"I possess a supernatural power called the 'Spirit Awakening Spell,' specifically designed to open the path to enlightenment for those of different kinds. Would you be willing to give it a try?"

Although the little sprite didn't understand, it still nodded and said:

"I do..."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, and then began to make hand seals and chant incantations.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, one is hidden away, and all things cut off a thread of life and seize the creation of Heaven and Earth..."

As the little spirit listened to Li Daoxuan's incantation, a sudden sense of enlightenment arose in its heart.

It's like suddenly understanding what you will do in the future, what you will become, and how high you can go.

A soft light began to emanate from its body, carrying an innate spirituality, and then its frail flesh began to transform.

If its previous flesh and blood were merely formed from the condensation of spiritual energy, then it essentially still falls within the realm of spiritual energy.

But now, its flesh and blood clearly have a trace of life force that only normal living beings possess.

When Li Daoxuan finished reciting the incantation, the hand seal was applied to the little spirit's head.

The little sprite felt as if the world before its eyes had changed.

In the past, it viewed all things in the world as if they were clusters of different spiritual energies converging.

Now, it can see all the life, beauty, and color that humans can see.

The little sprite was overjoyed. From this moment on, it truly transformed into a living being with flesh and blood, and not just a wisp of spirit.

Li Daoxuan stopped chanting the incantation and looked at the little spirit with curiosity. He hadn't expected the Spirit Awakening Incantation to have such a great effect on it.

This is absolutely defying fate.

"Not bad, not bad, that's good. At least the spiritual energy on your body is hidden by your physical form, so it won't be so easy for others to see through it."

The little sprite was so excited that it immediately tried to kneel down again.

Li Daoxuan caught it and laughed:

"Alright, don't kneel down so easily in the future."

"By the way, do you have a name?"

The little sprite shook its head.

"Lord...she used to call me Little Thing...or Little Spirit Spring..."

Li Daoxuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said softly:

"Now that you've transformed into a human, it's not good for you to be nameless. How about I give you one?"

The little sprite was overjoyed upon hearing this and clapped and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll like any name chosen by my benefactor..."

Li Daoxuan smiled, patted his head, and said gently:

"You were born from the very essence of heaven and earth, and you possess the ability to control the tides of spiritual energy, so how about we name you Lingxi?"

The little sprite... no, she should be called Lingxi now, her bright eyes filled with indescribable joy.

"Lingxi... Lingxi... I have a name now, I will be called Lingxi from now on... Thank you, benefactor... Thank you, benefactor, for giving me this name..."

Li Daoxuan gently cradled Xiao Lingxi's head and laughed heartily:

"Alright, from now on don't call me benefactor, just call me... Master..."
