Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...
Shang Lin wasn't just making empty promises; things were indeed getting better year by year, even if the pace of improvement was slow. After all, they had come from nothing, truly lacking everything they could ever want.
Well, that's not entirely true. At least they have the Dragon Spirit Tower and these other beings, but for surviving, making money, and cultivating in the human world, that's still far from enough.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shang Lin realized, "Why didn't I see the little snake?"
The deity replied, "He's practicing his swordsmanship in the Dragon Spirit Tower. We'll be filming his swordsmanship in the next video."
Shang Lin subconsciously looked at Ji Xiaoyao, "You also know swordsmanship?"
"No," Ji Xiaoyao said very honestly. "I know how to use a spear, sword, staff, and bow and arrow."
Shang Lin then looked at the Divine Lord, "Then who did he learn from?"
As for learning from videos online, Shang Lin thought it was unlikely. After all, with Shen Jun, that ruthless and venomous "film critic," there probably wouldn't be many who would meet his standards. She Jinxing was his beloved disciple, so he would have to be even more careful in selecting him.
The deity smiled proudly, "I taught him."
"You can?!" Shang Lin expressed great doubt. Dragons have always been known for their strong physiques and generally do not use weapons. They just fight head-on, especially with the help of magic.
"You doubt me?" The Divine Lord looked at Shang Lin with displeasure. "How long have you known me? How much do you know about me? My life is so long, it would be strange if I didn't know anything."
Shang Lin quickly put on a smiling face, "I'm not doubting the Divine Lord, I just think that most of your moves are probably for actual combat, right? They might not be suitable for filming videos. Filming videos is more for entertainment purposes."
"Yeah, so the little snake is practicing." The God waved his hand impatiently at Shang Lin. "Go do your homework, don't worry about anything else, you don't need to film videos."
Shang Lin looked at the Divine Lord with a bewildered expression, wondering what he meant by the parent's look of urging their child to do homework. However, he readily agreed and said, "Okay."
She Jinxing posts videos every three days. In addition to videos of him using cold weapons, there are also videos of him working out. However, he does not show off his chest muscles, abs, or biceps. Instead, he wears a fitted quick-drying shirt with casual sports pants, looking very casual, yet exuding a unique ascetic charm.
Oh, and that face, full of youthful energy yet exuding a composed air. Because he's a demon cultivator, his skin is flawless, without any blemishes or pits—it's even more like a modeled face than a 3D model.
To Xing Tian's surprise, the martial arts videos filmed by She Jinxing didn't attract as much traffic as He Jinxing himself, but the comments section of his fitness videos was packed with people.
Many comments prompted Hu Tangdi to complain, "People nowadays are so unreserved, even young women are the same, no, some young women are even less reserved than men, the world is going to the dogs!"
Xing Tian retorted, "You old fogey, stop it already! What era are we living in? What's with all this talk about being reserved? Can being reserved put money on the table? Besides, those comments online are just empty talk. Who would take them seriously?"
Hu Tangdi's face immediately darkened. "Who are you calling an old-fashioned relic? Where am I old? Is there any old-fashioned relic as beautiful as me?"
In fact, Xing Tian realized she had misspoke as soon as she said it. For any woman, age is something that should never be mentioned, especially since she had exaggerated it so much, it was like dancing on the edge of life and death.
So Xing Tian hurriedly put on a smiling face and explained, "Junior sister, don't be angry, don't be angry. I just said it casually. Just ignore me and let me go. Besides, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, without a doubt."
Hu Tangdi's mood improved slightly. "What about Qiu Niang? Isn't she as beautiful as me?"
Holy crap, this is a death trap question.
No, Qiu Niang has already been reincarnated, why are you still comparing her to others? Besides, you and Qiu Niang are not even the same species, how can you compare them? But how could Xing Tian dare to say such a thing? He could only say, "Qiu Niang's beauty is different from yours. Her beauty is conventional, while your beauty is unrestrained and flamboyant."
Hu Tangdi immediately smiled, "As expected of a top student, you spoke so well."
Xing Tian continued with a forced smile, "You flatter me, you flatter me." Had he been let off the hook?
However, the next second, Hu Tangdi said, "Since you're so eloquent, then say a few more words."
Xing Tian, "..."
However, She Jinxing doesn't care about any of that. What he wants is traffic. However, while fans of good looks appreciate appearances, there are also experts who appreciate martial arts moves. Therefore, the types of fans are quite diverse.
After leaving Old Man Chai's body, Ji Xiaoyao went straight into the tower to spar with She Jinxing. When he was teaching her marksmanship before, he barely used his hands and only talked. Now he could loosen up his muscles.
Hu Tangdi and Shenjun also ran to watch the excitement, while Xing Tian and Shang Lin were diligently writing their homework, determined to finish all their assignments that very night.
However, by 11 p.m., Shang Lin was already so sleepy that he started yawning incessantly and had to go wash up and go to bed, while Xing Tian continued.
However, Xing Tian forgot that he was now inside Old Man Chai's body, and everything he did was limited by his body, which was still injured internally. So, before long, he also became too sleepy and could only fall asleep immediately.
Before falling asleep, Xing Tian deeply admired Ji Xiaoyao. He had endured Old Man Chai's external and internal injuries for so long. Not only did he have to endure them, but he also had to repair them. The external injuries were alright; he didn't have to do much. He just needed to apply the medicine, change the dressings, and take the medicine on time. But the internal injuries...
This is quite a character, but it's probably related to Old Man Chai's age. If he were a young man, Ji Xiaoyao wouldn't have to work so hard to pass the time, or at least he would have to pass the time much less.
But once Old Man Chai's internal injuries heal and Ji Xiaoyao retires, how will the sect leader explain their current situation to him? It's a bit worrying.
However, Master Shang was a very easygoing person in many things, and he firmly believed that "there is always a way out, things will work themselves out, and when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it."
Therefore, Shang Lin was not worried about what Xing Tian was worried about at all. Besides, he would have to be honest with Old Man Chai one day, otherwise, he would eventually be unable to hide the truth about what he did.
The next day, Shang Lin went out after breakfast. As for Ji Xiaoyao, he was not suitable to walk during the day, so he could only stay in the Dragon Spirit Tower for the time being and be released when they arrived at Situ Pojun's office building.
Having prepared himself mentally, Shang Lin appeared quite calm as he passed through the hall today. However, the situation inside was still chaotic, making him somewhat doubt the competence of Situ Pojun's subordinates. Of course, as the saying goes, perhaps they were greedy, or perhaps they had no choice but to be greedy.
