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 148 How arrogant!

Situ Pojun has been attracted!

Although he was an oddball, he was somewhat difficult to deal with, which was quite troublesome.

The strange beings attracted by Dan Yun included ghosts and demon cultivators, but no matter what they were, they all showed greedy expressions. However, most of the ghosts were scared away as soon as they saw Situ Pojun.

Those who managed to stay behind dared not approach, and could only hide in the shadows to observe the situation. But the demon cultivators didn't care about such things; they fought when they should fight and robbed when they should rob, getting what they wanted was the only important thing.

Shang Lin naturally couldn't fight and kill in the residential area, but if this problem wasn't solved, it would be even more troublesome. Moreover, with so many aliens, he couldn't make Hu Tangdi overlap the space. He could only put Xing Tian into the Dragon Spirit Tower while saying to Hu Tangdi, "Take me to a secluded place on the outskirts of the city."

As soon as Shang Lin finished speaking, Situ Pojun rushed in first, but said to him, "I can help you, but you have to..."

Before Situ Pojun could finish speaking, Hu Tangdi had already disappeared with Shang Lin. He paused for a moment, then immediately gave chase. In the twilight, several streaks of clouds seemed to drift across the sky.

As soon as Hu Tangdi and Shang Lin landed, several figures followed suit. By this time, it was already dark, and the demon cultivators' eyes became particularly eerie.

These demon cultivators could transform into human form, half-human and half-demon form, or their original forms, but no matter what form they took, they were all formidable to Shang Lin and his companions.

However, Shang Lin suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many demon cultivators in big cities! It seems that if you want to develop, you have to come to a big place. Let me introduce myself. I am Shang Lin, the sect leader of Yuntai Sect. If any of you want to join my sect, I will do my best to help you cultivate. There is only one condition: become my servant and obey my orders."

Situ Pojun was originally standing on the outermost edge of the encirclement. He wanted to see how Shang Lin would deal with these oddballs, but upon hearing his words, he frowned slightly. This young man is so arrogant!

However, the arrogance didn't end there. Shang Lin continued, "If you don't want to join my sect but still want to steal my things, I won't hold back either, after all, my Green One is short of fertilizer."

As soon as Shang Lin finished speaking, some impatient and brainless demons pounced on him. Hu Tangdi took the lead in blocking him, and her slender hands suddenly grew sharp claws longer than fingers, drawing blood with the slightest touch.

Shang Lin knew this was both a robbery and a test. They had to intimidate everyone from the start, otherwise it would be a fierce battle, and he couldn't match the demon's stamina.

With a flick of his wrist, dragon scales appeared in his hand. Shang Lin's attacks were even more ruthless than Hu Tangdi's. He basically aimed straight for vital points. If he could hit the target in one strike, there would be no second strike. Moreover, the demon disappeared immediately after it fell, having been stored in the Dragon Spirit Tower by him, truly becoming fertilizer for Green Yao.

Even in the darkness, the dragon scales in Shang Lin's hand shimmered with iridescent light, resembling a bright moon fallen to earth. However, this moon quickly turned into a blood moon, dangerous and eerie.

Even though Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi were ruthless, some fearless demons still rushed up in the face of the great temptation. Hu Tangdi was fine, but Shang Lin was a little exhausted.

Just as Shang Lin was thinking about whether to release Green One and let it collect fertilizer on its own, a huge black shadow suddenly darted out from the darkness.

Beneath the jet-black scales was a robust dragon's body. She Jinxing had returned. His enormous body quickly coiled up, protecting Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi in the center. Then, with a gaping maw, he swallowed the monster whole.

The weaker party instantly became the stronger party. Shang Lin looked up at She Jinxing's original form and saw that it was indeed a dragon that could transform into a dragon. However, as he said, it was a very small dragon.

Bloodthirsty She Jinxing finally turned to Situ Pojun, who had been watching the battle, but Shang Lin hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and turn back into human form." Why did he feel that the little snake seemed a bit out of his mind once it turned into its original form?

Fortunately, She Jinxing cooperated by transforming into human form and landing in front of Shang Lin. Although he didn't move, he was full of wariness towards Situ Pojun, as if he would rush up and devour him as soon as Shang Lin said a word.

Shang Lin gently patted She Jinxing's shoulder, "Hurry up and spit out the garbage, it's bad for your health."

Situ Pojun's lips twitched as he listened. Demon cultivators were actually trash in Shang Lin's eyes. But at this moment, his heart was in turmoil, but he asked with a relatively calm expression, "Are you an alchemist?"

Shang Lin nodded slightly, "I guess so. You just said, 'But what do you want?'"

"Alchemy."

At this moment, Situ Pojun dared not tell the truth. Giving him pills and asking him to refine pills would have completely different effects. He was not like those brainless, stupid demons who only wanted to solve problems with brute force.

It seems I'll have to take a good look at Shang Lin's information when I get back. But how come he has so many powerful beings around him? Those are dragons, how did they cultivate to that level? This is the Dharma-ending Age, even the Underworld has just been reorganized.

Shang Lin seemed unfazed by the recent chaos, speaking to Situ Pojun as if nothing was amiss, "Sure, as long as you can provide the raw materials and the corresponding compensation."

“Of course.” Situ Pojun pointed to the mess on the ground. “And what about here?”

"We'll clean up; nothing will be noticed," Shang Lin said politely, urging them to leave. "Mr. Situ has my phone number; we can contact him by phone."

“…Alright.” Situ Pojun wisely left.

As soon as Situ Pojun left, Shang Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he cared more about the demon cultivators than about the demon cultivators. No matter how many demon cultivators there were or how powerful they were, they were nothing more than a rabble and a disorganized mob.

But Situ Pojun is different. Behind him stands the entire Underworld and the corresponding departments in the human world. He also needs to survive in the human world, and he doesn't want to offend them unless absolutely necessary.

Besides, Situ Pojun didn't make a move; he was just watching. As for what he didn't finish saying, it was about alchemy, so there's no need to investigate whether it's true or not. In the end, the other side is maintaining peace, even if it's just superficial peace, it's still a stance.

Although Shang Lin's legs were weak and he really wanted to collapse and rest, he still sent a message to Ji Xiaoyao, telling him not to completely trust Situ Pojun and to put his own interests first in everything.

Ji Xiaoyao called immediately and asked, "What happened?"

Shang Lin gave a brief explanation, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I need to be more careful when refining pills in the future, no, I need to set up a barrier, otherwise I'll be in for a lot of trouble."

Ji Xiaoyao couldn't help but silently sigh, "The sect leader has a truly magnanimous heart."

But when he spoke, he said, "The sect leader set my phone number as an emergency contact so that I wouldn't be unaware of things like today."

Because Shang Lin had previously stated that he couldn't sign a servitude contract with ghost cultivators, Ji Xiaoyao could only come up with this solution.
