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...
Although Xing Tian's words were only natural, they were short of manpower at the moment. At this moment, Shang Lin suddenly understood Situ Pojun's feelings when he saw someone useful and wanted to bring them into the office.
All I could say was, "Then you'll just have to wait and see how things are handled with Fan Mingyu..."
Xing Tian hurriedly interrupted Shang Lin, "Sect Master, I was just saying. I know what the situation is like in our sect right now. As long as my mother and sister are well, I'm relieved."
Not to mention that he has been dead for more than a year now, even when he was alive, he could not often be by his parents' side, especially since he started graduate school, his only contact with his family was by mobile phone.
Even though Xing Tian said that, Shang Lin still felt a little guilty, but he didn't say anything more. After all, if you can't do it, there's no point in saying it, and it might even make people feel disgusted.
So Shang Lin simply said, "I'll go prepare a medicinal bath. You can soak in it in a bit; it'll make you feel better."
Xing Tian suddenly sat up straight and asked with a curious look, "I wonder how General Ji's work with Situ Pojun is going? What if he's not happy and comes back?"
Shang Lin laughed immediately upon hearing this, "Do you think Ji Xiaoyao is the kind of person who runs away when faced with difficulties?"
Xing Tian thought for a moment, "No, but what if he does well and then doesn't want to come back? Didn't Situ Pojun offer him very generous terms?"
Shang Lin smiled confidently, "You must trust Ji Xiaoyao, and you must also trust me, the sect leader."
"I believe you," Xing Tian said sincerely. "But Sect Master, when you were a sect master in the cultivation world, didn't you ever encounter any disciples who betrayed the sect?"
Shang Lin frankly admitted, "Of course I've encountered them, but those were all from the Yuntai Sect, before it became the number one sect in the cultivation world. After all, everyone wants to climb higher. But later, no one thought about leaving the Yuntai Sect. The cultivation world is not like the human world; the survival of the fittest is very direct. Especially when traveling outside, having a large sect behind you makes things much smoother. As for those rogue cultivators and people from small sects, the situation is much worse, so there are very few people like that in the cultivation world."
“It’s just like people from different countries abroad. When a country is strong, its people are valued abroad. When a country is weak, the lives of its people may not be guaranteed.” After saying this, Xing Tian said with longing, “But what is the cultivation world like? I’m quite curious. I wonder if I’ll be able to go there and see it in my lifetime?”
Hu Tangdi suddenly retorted to Xing Tian, "You're already dead, what are you talking about in your lifetime?"
Xing Tian looked at Shang Lin with a wronged expression, "Sect Master, Junior Sister is criticizing me."
"Ugh!" Hu Tangdi said with utter disgust, "Aren't you disgusting? Even the almanac isn't as pretentious as you." Especially considering you have the face of an old man. But since Old Man Chai is the sect leader's godfather, she could only say it to herself.
Shang Lin looked at them with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Alright, go ahead and do what you need to do. I'm going to check on the medicinal herbs in the tower and deliver them to the processing plant tomorrow."
Originally, it was She Jinxing who was in charge of delivering the medicinal herbs, but he was out, so Shang Lin had to do it, since he was the most free person right now.
This was Shang Lin's first time entering the Dragon Spirit Tower since its second upgrade. The tower was lush and vibrant, and even the little Green Demon was nowhere to be seen inside.
However, this little thing likes Shang Lin's blood. As soon as it senses his presence, it rushes up, looking like it's begging to be fed. Shang Lin good-naturedly pricks his fingertip, and Green Yao clings to him like a drunkard.
The next second, Shang Lin heard an anxious roar from a beast, followed by a greedy voice, "It smells so good, so good, I want to eat it, I want to eat it."
Shang Lin then remembered that there was still a "monkey" locked up in the tower. He wondered how the Divine Lord and Hu Tangdi took turns guarding it. But in that instant, he suddenly realized what the fragrance he smelled was: blood.
Looking down at Lü Yao's entranced expression, Shang Lin became even more certain that the original owner of this body was indeed a magical being, but unfortunately, the original owner was difficult to investigate!
After drinking its fill, Lü Yao slid from Shang Lin's fingers to the ground, rolled around in the herbs, and fell asleep happily, looking quite content.
Meanwhile, the "monkey" kept yelling and didn't stop for a second. Shang Lin called the Divine Lord in and asked, "Where is that 'monkey' locked up? I need to get rid of this trouble."
Shang Lin has lived for so many years, and there have been many people who coveted him, even those who wanted his life. But none of them coveted his blood. Although this blood was the original owner's blood, he is now one with the original owner, so isn't he also coveting his blood?
At this moment, Shang Lin was somewhat angry. Moreover, once this information was spread, he would have no chance of living in the human realm and would have to flee for his life.
Although the human realm is currently in the Dharma-ending Age, there are still many extraordinary beings. Moreover, due to the scarcity of cultivation resources, they are capable of anything simply to survive.
Even ants can kill an elephant if they have enough of them, so what is a mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator? Therefore, it is imperative to resolve this trouble. Shang Lin has never considered him a good person, and he will show no mercy if his own life is in danger.
The Divine Lord is now a tower spirit, and his relationship with Shang Lin is practically that of a servant. So he easily sensed that the man's aura had changed; he was about to cause trouble!
The deity hurriedly took Shang Lin to see the "monkey." Whether it was because the monkey had been absorbing spiritual energy in the Dragon Spirit Tower or because it truly claimed to be a god, it was much stronger than when they first met.
If it weren't for the Immortal Binding Rope of the Divine Lord, escaping the Dragon Spirit Tower would have been a piece of cake. Shang Lin frowned slightly; this was a bit troublesome. He immediately looked at the tower spirit, "Does the Divine Lord have any other weapons?"
The deity thought for a moment, "I have very few weapons. I even distributed some to the younger generation of my clan before I died. But I still have a few dragon scales and a few claw hooks. Do you want them?"
Shang Lin suddenly remembered that when he saw the remains of the divine dragon, there were indeed some scales and claws scattered around it. But at that time, the last remnant soul of the Divine Lord said, "These are proof that I once existed. Leave them behind when you are refining the weapon."
At that time, Shang Lin had almost everything he wanted, so he didn't care about a few scales and claws. After the Dragon Spirit Tower finished refining them, he put them directly into the tower.
Unexpectedly, the God-King later became a tower spirit and put them all away, which can be considered as returning them to their rightful owner. However, Shang Lin didn't care about these things before, so now it can be considered a pleasant surprise.
So Shang Lin immediately reached out to the deity, "Let me see it."
The deity was a white dragon in his previous life, with dazzlingly white scales. Even after so many years, they still shimmered and were quite beautiful. Moreover, the scales were as large as large fan surfaces, which shows how enormous his original form was.
