With a clang, a purple lightning came from the sky and suddenly split a small hill in front of it into pieces. The power was fierce and shocking.
It’s so amazing!
It seems that I really figured out the second method, heavenly thunder!
Zhang Ling could not help but marvel inwardly. Unexpectedly, a stone-man emerged from the ground. He had a distressed expression on his face, knelt on the ground, and trembled all over as he cried, "Goddess, spare me! Goddess, spare me!"
The young man in green looked curiously and found that it was a mountain spirit practicing in seclusion here. The divine thunder just now seemed to have cracked its residence apart.
Fortunately, there are many hills here, and the mountain spirit should have hidden somewhere else, so its life was not harmed.
The mountain spirit's lips trembled as he spoke, "I have practiced cultivation till now and have never committed a single sin. I beg the Immortal to have mercy on me. Considering how difficult it was to become a spirit and how arduous my practice was, please spare my life!"
Zhang Ling saw the mountain spirit's sincere attitude and noticed there was no trace of bloodshed in his breath. He calculated with his fingers and found that what the mountain spirit said was true. Sometimes the mountain spirit would even help the mountain people chop wood, look for lost livestock and children, and do good things within his ability.
Then he said, "Don't be alarmed. I was reckless in this matter. It was my fault that nearly led to such a tragedy."
As Zhang Ling spoke, he took out two fist-sized fairy dates from his sleeve. They were lacquered red all over, heavy in the hand, and full of spirit.
"These two immortal dates are my apology to you. One is for destroying your residence, and the other is given to you for your good practice. It is also fate that has brought us together. I hope you will practice well and be as kind as a song!"
The young man in green waved his sleeves, and a breeze spread out, wrapping up the two fairy dates and giving them to the other party.
The mountain spirit was so moved that he burst into tears. His clumsy and stone-hard hands trembled with excitement as he tightly grasped the two immortal dates. He had encountered an unprecedented bottleneck in his cultivation here, and his life span was not much, making it difficult for him to make any progress.
Now that he had these two immortal dates, his fate would change from now on, and he might even become a mountain god.
Although it practices good deeds and stays in the human world, it is ultimately just a mountain spirit, born here in obscurity and scattered a handful of stones and soil here in obscurity.
If he hadn't met Zhang Ling, this would probably have been the mountain spirit's life.
The young man in green turned around with a flick of his sleeves and rode away on the wind, saying "how reckless". But behind him, a monster made of stone and soil was kneeling and kowtowing to him, bidding him farewell devoutly.
