Shang Lin's joy subsided after less than three seconds. Because there were too few types of medicinal herbs and no tools for alchemy, he had to find another way, such as gradually supplementing with food, or taking medicinal baths and directly absorbing spiritual energy.

However, the conditions at home made a medicinal bath inconvenient, so Shang Lin asked again, "Now that the God-King has become a tower spirit, can you open the entire Dragon Spirit Tower?"

The Divine Lord looked at Shang Lin with some helplessness. "What do you want me to say? I am just a small tower spirit now. The Dragon Spirit Tower is a magic weapon that you crafted. You are its master. In other words, you are also my master. How many parts of the Dragon Spirit Tower can be opened depends on your cultivation level. It has little to do with me."

Shang Lin paused, then suddenly laughed, "Perhaps it's because the God's reputation is too great that I always forget the actual situation."

The deity suddenly sighed, "Those are all in the past. But being a tower spirit is quite nice; it's happy and peaceful."

Shang Lin really wanted to ask, "Is it still peaceful now?"

But she immediately held back, deciding not to cause trouble. What if this person got angry and threw all the inhuman creatures out of there? Especially that stubborn Ji Xiaoyao.

However, it's probably because of the presence of the Divine Lord that everyone in the Dragon Spirit Tower can get along harmoniously. As a tower spirit, one might not be very powerful outside, but within the Dragon Spirit Tower, one must be the leader.

After resting for three days, Shang Lin felt better and went to Li Hongjin's house to call Manager Duan back. No matter what, he still had to earn money.

When I went out, the sky looked a bit overcast, as if it was going to rain. The village was quiet and deserted; even the dogs that used to run around the village were nowhere to be seen.

The Shang family and the Li Hongjin family lived a bit far apart, one at one end of the village and the other at the other. However, the small mountain village was not big, so it didn't take much time.

But as Shang Lin walked, he felt something was wrong. When he was almost at Li Hongjin's house, he suddenly stopped. He finally realized what was wrong: there was a demonic aura in the village, and the demonic aura at Li Hongjin's house was the strongest.

Shang Lin immediately released Huang Ying, saying, "Come inside the house with me and let's take a look."

Huang Ying reacted much faster than Shang Lin, "My lord, there's such a strong demonic aura, I can't handle it alone."

"It's okay, I'll call someone else if I can't handle it."

As Shang Lin spoke, he rushed in, and Huang Ying had no choice but to follow. However, as soon as they entered the room, they saw a girl taking off her clothes, and Li Hongjin seemed to be asleep on the chair in front of her.

Shang Lin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately rushed towards Li Hongjin. Huang Ying, a small girl, blocked the girl's way but shouted, "Sir, quickly release Ji Xiaoyao!"

The next second, Ji Xiaoyao appeared next to Huang Ying. At the same time, the girl in front of her opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and roared, "How dare you ruin my plans!"

Ji Xiaoyao immediately drew his sword to block the girl's sonic attack, and then turned defense into offense. Unlike ordinary ghost cultivators, he had been fighting on ancient battlefields for many years, and his fighting skills were stored in his body's memory. His aura was quite fierce.

However, the girl was not one to be trifled with. Even when facing Ji Xiaoyao, she moved gracefully forward without any intention of dodging. The elaborate, ancient-style clothing that she had previously removed was now back on her body, spreading out as she leaped up, creating a powerful, almost overwhelming effect.

This was clearly no longer Li Hongjin's home, nor was it an illusion created by demons; it was simply an overlapping space. However, the air currents generated by the two demons fighting were truly immense, leaving absolutely no room for anyone else to stand.

Originally, Shang Lin was about to check on Li Hongjin's condition after releasing Ji Xiaoyao, but before he could even touch the other's carotid artery, he was knocked over by the shockwave behind him.

Just as Shang Lin was about to steady himself, he was grabbed by a thin, fair hand. He looked up instinctively but Huang Ying was nowhere to be seen. Instead, it was a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old!

Huang Ying has taken human form?!

However, now is not the time to worry about these things. Shang Lin rushed to Li Hongjin again, saying, "We need to get this person out of here first, otherwise even if he is still alive, he will eventually be implicated and die."

It was only then that Huang Ying realized she had transformed into human form. Although this human form was a little different from what she had imagined, it was still a human! Being by the side of an adult was indeed a stroke of luck.

"hurry up."

Huang Ying snapped out of her daze when Shang Lin's voice came again, and hurriedly stepped forward, "They're fighting so fiercely, how are we going to get them out of here?"

Shang Lin glanced at Ji Xiaoyao's side. The two demons were still locked in a fierce battle. It would be easy to take Li Hongjin out, but what would happen to the people in the village if this space were to be broken?

Shang Lin hurriedly took out the Dragon Spirit Tower and shouted, "Ji Xiaoyao, you guys go fight inside the Dragon Spirit Tower!"

As soon as the Dragon Spirit Tower moved, the surroundings immediately fell silent. Huang Ying hurriedly asked, "My lord, what if Ji Xiaoyao can't defeat her if you take that girl into the tower as well?"

Shang Lin wasn't worried at all. "Isn't there still the Tower Spirit? He might not be powerful enough outside, but he can still call the shots in his own territory. At least he can ensure everyone's safety, just like when I took Ji Xiaoyao in with you guys in the tower before."

Huang Ying was immediately relieved, and then took the initiative to help Shang Lin break through the space. However, it was only after the space was broken that she realized that she was actually caring about others!

It's true what they say, "One is influenced by one's company." I haven't been around the adult for very long, so how come I'm so influenced by him?

As the thick fog disappeared, Li Hongjin's house came into view, exactly the same as the one they had just entered. It was indeed an overlapping space; that "girl" was really something.

But Shang Lin couldn't care less about that. He immediately checked Li Hongjin's condition carefully. There was nothing wrong with his body, but he had been drugged by a demon. He would need a few days to recover after waking up.

Where has this person been these past few days? How did he manage to attract the attention of a demon? I wonder when he'll wake up, and why is no one home?

Shang Lin immediately said to Huang Ying, "Now that you have taken human form, are you going to stay with me or go somewhere else to cultivate?"

Huang Ying answered instantly, "I want to go with the adults."

Huang Ying was well aware of her own limitations. The human realm was now in the Dharma-ending Age, and even if she cultivated into human form, it would not be easy for her to survive in the human realm.

As for cultivating in some remote place, that's even more impossible, because such places are almost always inhabited by powerful demons. In the Dharma-ending Age, all resources are scarce. Do you want to give them food?

But it's different when you're with an adult. It's very safe in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and you have the tower spirit as your master. Although you have less freedom, do you need freedom when you're in seclusion for cultivation?

Shang Lin didn't expect Huang Ying to agree so quickly, but he didn't say anything. He was a man who basically went with the flow, especially now that he was just a sickly fifteen-year-old.

Considering environmental concerns, Shang Lin decided to put Huang Ying inside the Dragon Spirit Tower to avoid startling Li Hongjin if he woke up. However…
