Necromancer: Ahem! I'm really not Lao Liu!

The birth of this idea was like a seed containing infinite vitality. It sprouted and grew rapidly in Zhang Dabing's mind in an instant, and its vigorous momentum was almost unstoppable.

"Following my thoughts shouldn't be a bad idea," Zhang Dabing muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. He no longer hesitated, unleashing his "Weapon Refining - Spirit Awakening" skill on the stone-like spirit...

I saw a faint light flying out from his palm and accurately entering the spirit body.

Spiritual awakening! Utilize everything to its full potential, unleash its inherent power! Inspire it with refining techniques, and awaken the spirit of the object!

This "stubborn stone" had been nurtured for ages deep within the mountains, quietly developing a subtle "spiritual aura" under the nourishment of the source energy. Now, coupled with Zhang Dabing's powerful skill, the effect was immediate, like oil heating up a raging fire, greatly accelerating its growth process. The originally slow pace of the spirit's growth was instantly disrupted, and the energy fluctuations became increasingly intense, as if a tremendous force was about to burst forth.

Seeing such a strong reaction, Zhang Dabing secretly estimated that it wouldn't be long before a significant change occurred. He happened to be free from any pressing matters at the moment, so he wasn't anxious and instead relaxed. He comfortably brewed tea, immersed in a sea of ​​knowledge, while simultaneously observing every change in this little creature.

Time passed quietly, and the wait lasted for three whole days. Suddenly, a strong tremor came, and Zhang Dabing could clearly feel the mountain trembling. The tremor seemed to carry endless joy, as if celebrating the birth of some great existence.

Zhang Dabing immediately sensed the small stubborn stone bred by nature, and sure enough, this thing was born.

Zhang Dabing moved like lightning, arriving in front of the little creature in a flash. He tilted his head slightly, and slowly surveyed it with a slightly curious gaze.

Perhaps due to the abundant jade resources within these mountains, the newly emerged spirit body resembled a piece of exquisite, crystal-clear jade. Its form was extremely small, barely the size of an adult's fist, like a delicate jade pearl. Its surface wasn't perfectly smooth as might be imagined, but rather possessed subtle, naturally formed veins and wrinkles. These lines, as if meticulously inscribed by the great artist of time, spoke of its long journey through the mountains. Its contours were smooth and rounded, without a single sharp edge, as if nature had purposely endowed it with this gentle and approachable appearance, inspiring a sense of pity and endearment.

Deep within the jade's heart, a mysterious, faint light flickers, like a heart, seemingly the dwelling place of its soul. The color of this light shifts constantly, like the joyful dance of a spirit. Sometimes it shines like warm sunlight, a bright orange, exuding a sense of enthusiasm; sometimes it shifts to a deep, tranquil blue, like the deep waters of a lake beneath a tranquil night sky, exuding an aura of peace and tranquility.

A thin, veil-like mist enveloped its body, gently entwining it, making its overall appearance even more hazy and mysterious, as if it were an inseparable part of the mountain environment, blending seamlessly with the natural world, exuding an otherworldly aura. Though newly born, it already exuded a lively spirit and a strong curiosity about the world around it. ...

Don't tell me, it's quite cute.

When the little guy noticed Zhang Dabing's arrival, he didn't show any fear. On the contrary, he was full of joy. Zhang Dabing could clearly feel that pure and sincere joy.
