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 went home and fell asleep immediately. The next day, he slept until he naturally woke up before picking up his phone to call Situ Pojun. He really didn't act like a sect leader at all.
Situ Pojun's schedule was basically the opposite of Shang Lin's, but when Master Yuanyin came to see him today, he wasn't bothered at all and asked in a good-natured manner, "Why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?"
Shang Lin recounted the events of the previous night to Situ Pojun, and then added, "The situation is still unclear, and we can't just ignore it, so I have no choice but to tell you about this local official."
Situ Pojun's lips twitched as he listened, and he said directly, "Little brat, you have no manners."
Shang Lin was taken aback. He thought about his age in his previous life, and then about Situ Pojun's age. Well, he didn't know the other person's age, but in this life, the person wasn't wrong.
So Shang Lin chimed in childishly, "Director Situ is right, little brat, you have to go do your homework, bye-bye."
After saying that, Shang Lin hung up the phone immediately, not giving Situ Pojun a chance to speak at all. As for the matter in the basement of the Youth Palace, he asked not to bother him.
However, Shang Lin's excuse about doing homework was just that—an excuse. He took the time to tidy himself up and make thorough preparations before heading into the Dragon Spirit Tower to refine pills. This was a lucrative order, and he was determined to succeed in one fell swoop and become an instant success.
Because he was worried about being disturbed, Shang Lin turned off his phone while refining pills, and thus missed his classmates' invitations. Although Shang Lin admired the vitality of young people, he was not very willing to spend time with them. The reason was simple: the generation gap was too deep.
This time, when the pill was formed, not only was there a fragrance of pills, but it also attracted pill clouds. Even though Shang Lin set up layers of isolation arrays, he was unable to block them all. Of course, it was not without effect; only a tiny part was leaked out. Unless one was particularly knowledgeable, one would not be able to see any clues.
Moreover, this time it didn't attract any aliens. Perhaps the aliens in this city all perished in the previous incident, and those who managed to escape were seriously injured. It's good enough that they can just stay there peacefully.
However, the people inside the Dragon Spirit Tower were not so quiet. At least Green Yao and Ah Chou were surrounding Shang Lin, looking like they were begging to be fed.
Shang Lin laughed and said, "That won't do. This is a customer's order. The first transaction must be completed perfectly."
Ah Chou was a later arrival and was somewhat reserved, so he listened to Shang Lin's words very much. However, Lü Yao had been with him for a long time and was a demon plant with low intelligence, so she clung to him.
Shang Lin had no choice but to prick his finger and feed Lü Yao. Ah Chou's eyes seemed glued to his finger. Sigh, another brat who needs to be fed.
So Shang Lin cut another finger and stretched it out at A Chou. As a result, Lü Yao, like a dog guarding its food, snorted fiercely at A Chou. Yes, he snorted, because he did not let go of Shang Lin's finger.
Shang Lin chuckled, "Don't try to have your cake and eat it too. Ah Chou is also my servant, how can you treat him differently?"
Green One, "..."
It took him a while to put away his fierce look, and soon he was "drunk" and lying down among the herbs again. Shang Lin was both amused and exasperated. Only then did A Chou dare to step forward and weakly say, "I, I'll just drink a little bit."
Shang Lin patted A Chou's head. "When I first met you, you were fierce. Why do you turn into a mouse seeing a cat as soon as you meet Lü Yao?"
Ah Chou blushed as she explained, "It reshaped my body, so it's like my second parent, which is why there's a bit of bloodline suppression."
Shang Lin suddenly thought of how Lü Yao had shattered A Chou's pen with a rain of flying knives and then rebuilt it, and found it quite reasonable. However, he comforted her, saying, "Apart from her blood-protection of me, Lü Yao is very easy to get along with in other aspects."
Ah Chou nodded, admitting that he had only drunk a little blood and was in a similar state of drunkenness as Lü Yao, only not as severely. Shang Lin ignored him and went out of the tower to call Master Yuan Yin.
But the moment the phone was turned on, several messages came in: invitations from classmates, pictures of cars sent by Xing Tian, and math problems from my deskmate...
Wow, that's something else! How come you didn't realize how busy you were when your phone was on? Oh, because it's the weekend, everyone has time.
Shang Lin replied to each of them one by one before replying to Xing Tian.
Sect Leader: If you like it, that's fine. I don't understand it anyway.
Shang Lin's words are definitely more true than pearls. If teleportation talismans weren't so expensive, he wouldn't have bought a car.
But Xing Tian called and said, "That won't do. At the very least, the Sect Master of Colors has to like it."
Shang Lin laughed, "Could you possibly buy one in a special color? Besides, I'm not even eighteen yet, and I can't get a driver's license. I'm just a passenger, so I really don't have any requirements."
"Okay, then I'll choose white."
Xing Tian knew that their sect leader was usually very indifferent, and sure enough, this time was no exception. But is there any man who doesn't love cars?
"Okay." Shang Lin hung up Xing Tian's call and then called Master Yuanyin to ask when he would come to pick up the pills, or he could deliver them to him.
Master Yuanyin was stunned and subconsciously asked, "It's done so quickly?"
Shang Lin chuckled sheepishly, “School starts tomorrow, and the next break will be half a month from now. I’m afraid of taking up Master’s time.”
Besides, in another two weeks, the final exams will be just around the corner, and I still need to study to avoid losing first place again, which would be terrible.
Master Yuanyin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have some matters to attend to with Benefactor Situ. Could you please escort us, Benefactor Shang?"
For the sake of money, he went to ask, "Is the master in Director Situ's nursing home?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, I'll go there now."
Shang Lin was opening a ride-hailing app, ready to call a car, when She Jinxing returned. Without saying a word, he immediately pulled She Jinxing out with him.
She Jinxing was very puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, what's wrong? Has something urgent happened?"
"Delivering goods." After answering Shang Lin, he asked, "Did you find out?"
As they spoke, the two had already reached the bottom of the stairs. She Jinxing then transmitted his voice to Shang Lin, "I found out. In today's terms, Cheng Qiao is a rich young master. He's rich and handsome, but his academic performance is just average, which is why he chose to pursue a special skill. However, we can't blame him for that, since he spends all his time practicing martial arts."
Shang Lin found it a bit strange, "In this day and age, are there still people who value martial arts over academics?" Shouldn't martial arts be a hobby or a special skill, while academics should be the priority?
"That is true for ordinary people, but it is a different story for extraordinary humans. There are some hidden families in the human world who also know some cultivation methods. Although they are different from immortal cultivation, they can still live to be a hundred years old and do not show signs of aging."
Shang Lin: "That's impressive."
