Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

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...

Chapter 14 Utterly pedantic

Shang Lin suddenly realized a problem: each of the five non-human beings around him addressed him differently, which felt a bit confusing.

The next second, a bold idea suddenly flashed into his mind: he could establish a sect and set up the Yuntai Sect in the human realm. And these five non-human beings were...

Okay, this idea is good, but it's a bit ahead of its time. With my current physical condition, starting a school of thought? Right now, I'm only suited to studying.

Once she came to her senses, Shang Lin immediately looked at Ji Xiaoyao and said, "Since you want to stay, then stay. But my godfather is in poor health and is just an ordinary person, so don't scare him."

If these few were all locked up in the Dragon Spirit Tower, Shang Lin wouldn't be worried about this problem, but they couldn't be locked up in the tower to farm forever, so he still needed to make things clear to them.

No one objected to this, but Huang Ying asked Shang Lin, "Now that there's a tower spirit inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, can we still live there?"

Shang Lin paused for a moment. This was indeed a problem that needed to be discussed with the Divine Lord. He had no choice but to ask the old man for his opinion again.

The deity, who had originally wanted to slack off, looked at Shang Lin with great impatience. "What does it have to do with me that you crafted this Dragon Spirit Tower? I'm not the original body anymore; I'm just a minor tower spirit."

Shang Lin hurriedly explained, "I was just worried about disturbing you. Didn't we wake you up when we took Ji Xiaoyao in? If they were inside, wouldn't they disturb you even more?"

The Divine Lord said nonchalantly, "The Dragon Spirit Tower has more than one floor. Let them do what they want. I can sleep whenever I want, and I can even teach them how to pass the time."

Shang Lin subconsciously glanced at Ji Xiaoyao. The Divine Lord's words were clearly directed at this person, but this person was stubborn and refused to switch allegiance to another, which was extremely pedantic.

However, Shang Lin underestimated Ji Xiaoyao's stubbornness and reiterated his stance, "I have a master."

The deity immediately glared at Ji Xiaoyao, then turned to Huang Ying and asked, "Do you want to cultivate with me?"

Huang Ying nodded immediately, "I'll think about it." She was already looking for an opportunity, and now that it was coming so easily, she would be a fool to refuse.

The deity nodded with great satisfaction and then looked at Qiu Niang, "And you, do you want to cultivate with me?"

Qiu Niang paused for a moment, "Me too?"

The deity pointed at Ji Xiaoyao, "He's just like you. If he can do it, why can't you?"

Qiu Niang immediately bowed to the deity, "Thank you, deity. May I become your disciple?"

The deity waved his hand, "It's all just empty talk, no need for that." Then he looked at Xing Tian.

Xing Tian hurriedly expressed his attitude, "I'm sorry, Divine Lord, I have already become your disciple, but since you don't care about these formalities, could you teach me as well? My master is young and in poor health, and is not suitable for strenuous work."

The deity suddenly felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, unable to come up or go down.

Shang Lin chuckled rather unkindly, then turned to Xing Tian with a serious face and said, "When did I agree to take you as my disciple? And you're going to teach me to read in the future, so who's the master and who's the disciple? Wouldn't that make everything a mess?"

Xing Tian, ​​as expected of a top student, had a very quick mind. He immediately explained, "We each teach our own things without any conflict, and you don't need to call me master, so there's no confusion at all."

"Alright!" Shang Lin conceded. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'm exhausted and need to rest."

With a whoosh, several figures quickly disappeared into the Dragon Spirit Tower, and then the Dragon Spirit Tower also vanished. The indoor temperature immediately rose, and Shang Lin quickly lay down in bed. If it were the hottest time of summer, how cool it would be to have these natural air conditioners by his side.

Shang Lin fell asleep almost instantly. It was truly a struggle for his frail body to stay awake until the early hours of the morning, so much so that he was woken up the next day by an old man named Chai who looked worried. "Tiedan, are you alright? Why are you sleeping so soundly?"

Shang Lin opened his eyes groggily, looking completely bewildered. "What's wrong?"

"I'm asking what's wrong with you?" Old Man Chai reached out and touched Shang Lin's forehead. "You're sleeping so soundly, do you have a fever? I'll go get the thermometer."

"It's nothing." Shang Lin hurriedly called out to Old Man Chai, "I don't have a fever, I just covered myself up in the blanket."

She was quite cold in the middle of the night, so she was covered with many blankets. She was also sleeping so soundly that she didn't feel warm. However, seeing how worried Old Man Chai was, Shang Lin immediately changed the subject, "What's for breakfast? I'm starving."

Old Man Chai was still worried, "Can he get out of bed to eat? Otherwise..."

"Of course I can." Shang Lin quickly put on his clothes, acting as if nothing had happened.

During the meal, Shang Lin told Old Man Chai about his desire to study. The old man did not object, but said, "You still need to take better care of your health. You can't rush things."

Shang Lin laughed and said, "School doesn't start until September 1st, and studying isn't tiring and can still help me stay healthy. It's just that I have to go to the county to study, and I'm a little worried about my godfather being home alone."

If it weren't for the many non-human beings around him and his desire to make money without Chai Laodie's knowledge, Shang Lin wouldn't want to leave him alone at home.

Old Man Chai laughed, "What's there to worry about? My eyesight is better now, and I can take care of myself perfectly well. It's you who makes me worry about being out there alone."

Shang Lin was very puzzled, "What's there to worry about if I live at school?"

"...Okay, I'll contact the school for you tomorrow, but you're at the age of 9th grade. Will you be able to keep up? Or should we start from 9th grade?"

Shang Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart. He thought that he was a genius in the cultivation world with great talent and knowledge, but he had to start from middle school. It was really a rip-off. Moreover, he had no choice but to study in the third year of junior high school. What was going on with the first year of junior high school?

"No need." Shang Lin refused instantly. "I've looked at Hong Jin's junior high school textbooks before, and the difficulty level is not too high."

Old Man Chai was quite easygoing. "Alright then, we don't need to be top scorers anyway, as long as we can keep up. Nothing is more important than your health."

Yes, people with poor health think that good health is the most important thing. Anyway, people in different situations will have different ideas. Basically, they want to get what they don't have. That's reality.

Shang Lin is accepting of everything well, and he has been diligently cultivating and resting. For him right now, his health should indeed be his top priority.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the Divine Lord suddenly came out of the Dragon Spirit Tower and gave Shang Lin some medicinal herbs, saying, "These are ripe, take a look and use them to nourish your body."

Although Shang Lin disliked being disturbed in the middle of the night, there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, he was overjoyed to see the medicinal herbs, which he had previously collected from the mountains and planted in the Dragon Spirit Tower. He hadn't expected that these herbs would actually carry spiritual energy!

So only medicinal herbs from the herb garden have spiritual energy?
