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...
Since the deity has seen and heard so much, it must be possible, right? So Shang Lin said, "Alright, I'll draw another one."
The Divine Lord then released Shang Lin's wrist and took the painting from his hand, placing it on the third floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower.
Shang Lin was shocked. "Another level of the Dragon Spirit Tower has opened?"
"That's impossible, but displaying a painting is still possible."
Shang Lin, "..."
He had indeed overthought things. However, he still needed to buy raw materials to paint, and since his cultivation level had improved this time, the quality of his raw materials also needed to be increased. Sigh, the money hadn't even warmed his pocket before he had to spend it again.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Shang Lin could only take out his phone, send a message to She Jinxing, and list a bunch of raw materials.
When She Jinxing received the message, he was still out shopping. Some things could be bought online, while others could only be bought offline. However, this was a message from the sect leader…
She Jinxing called, "Sect Leader, are you going to paint?"
"Yes, we need these urgently, so you can buy this first."
"good."
Although she didn't know why the sect leader was in such a hurry, She Jinxing basically obeyed Shang Lin's every word.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Lin continued refining pills. Xiao Bai woke up briefly before falling into a deep sleep. However, before refining pills today, Shang Lin fed Lü Yao first, otherwise it would have jumped up and been watching longingly...
Anyway, Shang Lin couldn't bear it. Besides, he didn't need to bleed anyone today when refining pills, so feeding Green One was fine. No, there was also Ugly One, who would also watch longingly, just a bit reserved.
However, when Shang Lin was feeding Lü Yao and A Chou, the Divine Lord said with some disapproval, "From now on, you will have to refine pills and draw talismans every day. It's too exhausting for your body, and you even bleed them to feed them?"
Shang Lin smiled, "It's nothing, just a little bit."
The deity looked at Shang Lin with utter helplessness, "You! You look like a parent who spoils their child. A doting mother spoils her child, but a doting father is even worse."
"Hehe..." Shang Lin reached out and caught the "drunk" Lü Yao, laughing out loud, "With such a childish face, how could the God Lord use the term 'benevolent father'?"
Then he pointed at Ah Chou and continued, "But cubs are really cubs, and it's only right that cubs receive more care. Isn't there a saying in the human world that a warm childhood can heal a lifetime? We..."
"Stop, stop, stop." The Divine Lord reached out and took the Green Jade from Shang Lin's hand, then looked at him with disdain and said, "You're a perfectly good sect leader, how come you have a mouth? Besides, which of them are cubs? They're all thousand-year-old demons, okay? The real cub is Little White."
Ah Chou was a little intimidated by the deity's imposing aura and cautiously dared not step forward, but muttered to himself, "I really, really only drank a little bit, that's enough."
Shang Lin really wanted to ask the God, "What's wrong with my mouth?" Compared to the God, my mouth really can't compare.
However, Shang Lin found it somewhat amusing to see the little A Chou hesitant to step forward. It was somewhat suppressed by the bloodline in front of Lü Yao, and then suppressed by the aura of the Divine Lord. It was truly pitiful.
Shang Lin patiently pulled Ah Chou over, feeding him while saying to the deity, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Bai, deity. I don't know how to face such a cub."
The deity glanced at Shang Lin and A Chou, then ignored them completely and flew away with Lü Yao. A Chou cautiously looked at Shang Lin again, then retreated after a short while.
Shang Lin reached out and patted A Chou's head. "Rest well these two days. We'll have to start drawing talismans in a couple of days."
Ah Chou nodded very seriously, "Yes, Sect Master."
In fact, Ah Chou usually works very hard in his cultivation. There's no other reason than that the disciples of Yuntai Sect are all very powerful, and he feels that if he doesn't work hard, he might be replaced by the sect leader.
Although there aren't many cinnabar pens like his, his cultivation level isn't high either. What would be the point of his existence if a higher-level pen appeared one day?
The sect doesn't have resources that are ridiculously abundant, so it doesn't matter if they support a few useless demon cultivators. Didn't you see that everyone in the sect is trying to make money? So, Ah Chou obediently went back to cultivating.
Shang Lin spent another day working in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and then took a medicinal bath to cultivate. But he had to return to school the next day, so after taking the medicinal bath, he only tidied up the things that She Jinxing had bought before resting.
As he drifted off to sleep, Shang Lin suddenly remembered a question: when he went to Situ Pojun's place yesterday, why did he forget to ask Lan Xuan how the investigation of those four people was going?
Sigh, it seems I need to use a notebook too, otherwise I won't be able to remember anything besides what I need to do each day, or even just things I need to learn about!
When Shang Lin woke up the next day, he suddenly saw a group of people gathered around his bed. He immediately sat up and asked instinctively, "What are you all doing gathered around my bed? Don't you know that scaring people can be deadly? Goodness, I thought you were visiting a corpse first thing in the morning!"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Huang Ying hurriedly said, "Children's words are innocent and will be blown away by the wind. Sect Master, please don't talk nonsense. We just want to see what's going on with the Sect Master's seemingly glowing appearance."
"Glowing?" Shang Lin subconsciously looked down at himself. "Where is it glowing?"
She Jinxing hurriedly said, "I saw it. I came to wake the sect leader up for breakfast, and I saw a flash of golden light on the sect leader's body, and then it disappeared. I thought I was seeing things, so I called Xing Tian in to take a look, and he saw it too. After that, everyone who was at home came, but they never appeared again."
Shang Lin thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe the Dragon Spirit Tower has been upgraded again? After all, I'll be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining soon."
Everyone was overjoyed and almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Really?"
"Really." Shang Lin threw off the covers and got out of bed. "Alright, alright, I have to go to school today. It's quite a distance from here."
Everyone dispersed very cooperatively. After breakfast, Shang Lin went to school alone. There was no other way; She Jinxing still had to continue shopping. As for Xing Tian and the others, they were helping with online shopping while also filming short videos.
In Xing Tian's words, "Short videos can no longer satisfy Hu Tangdi and the others' acting skills. When we have more funds in the future, we will shoot short dramas."
Shang Lin completely ignored this, because he was a complete novice in this field. Moreover, as a novice, he didn't even have time to observe; he could only offer support if he had the means, and try to support them if he didn't.
Making money without connections is really difficult. I wonder if the new director will be easy to get along with after Situ Pojun is transferred? If he is, will they have to stay in City C and live a miserable life?
