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 277 A Life of Toil

Envious and jealous of Situ Pojun's wealth, I hate that I have no comparison. It's true... people can only live by comparing themselves to others, and goods can only be kept by comparing them to others!

After seeing Situ Pojun and Shang Jing off, Shang Lin rushed home. He was tired and wanted to rest. Although his health had improved and his cultivation had increased, he still needed to get some rest.

However, Shang Lin was preparing to refine a batch of fasting pills so that there would be no pills available when needed. He also needed to replenish the equipment that needed to be replenished. In short, it was already very rare for him to rest for a few days, and he had to get busy again.

I wonder if Shang Lin is destined to be a workaholic? He only rested for two days on the 30th and the first day of the Lunar New Year, and by the second day of the Lunar New Year, he felt a bit bored and even went to the Dragon Spirit Tower to feed some of his own blood to Lü Yao and A Chou, and played with Xiao Bai for a while.

Finally, he finished drawing all the teleportation talismans ordered by everyone in the Daoist group. Moreover, with the improvement of his cultivation, the teleportation distance of this talisman could almost double.

Shang Lin immediately felt he had lost out, so he put away the talismans for his own use, and then redrawn them. This time, he achieved the same standard as before. Hmm, he was satisfied.

But Zhu Bi A Chou found it strange and couldn't help but ask Shang Lin, "Sect Master, since you're not up to the task, don't force yourself to draw. It's too tiring."

Shang Lin chuckled, "You don't understand, do you? The teleportation talismans I sold to Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue before could only teleport a maximum of one thousand kilometers, but the teleportation talisman I drew this time can teleport a little over two thousand kilometers. If I sell it to others at the same price, wouldn't I be losing money? And if Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue find out, it will be difficult to explain. So it's better to draw the same distance."

"I see." Ah Chou looked at Shang Lin with admiration. "Sect Master is so thoughtful. Shall we continue drawing?"

"I'm not going to draw anymore. I don't need to exhaust my spiritual energy now, and then take a medicinal bath to cultivate. I just advanced three levels, so I need to consolidate my cultivation."

After saying that, Shang Lin went from the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower to the first floor, and then saw Little White wrapped around She Jinxing's tail, biting and nibbling, and growling softly, as if it were fighting an enemy.

Shang Lin looked at She Jinxing with some surprise, "What's wrong with Xiaobai? Did he fight with you?"

She Jinxing is currently in a half-human, half-human state, teasing Xiaobai with the tip of his tail, making it pounce and bite, while he is still looking at his phone, looking like he can do both without missing a beat.

However, upon hearing Shang Lin's voice, before She Jinxing could even speak, Xiao Bai stood up on its hind legs, its large, water-blue eyes staring straight at him.

Then, Xiao Bai actually let go of She Jinxing's tail, happily darted to Shang Lin's front, and quickly wrapped itself around him, rubbing its big head against his shoulder. If it could turn into human form, it would probably be like Huang Li, wrapping its arms around Shang Lin's neck and acting cute.

Shang Lin patted Xiao Bai's head, finding it both amusing and perplexing. "You're quite fickle these days. You liked the God Lord before, then the little snake, and now you like to cling to me?"

She Jinxing hurriedly stretched out his tail to wrap the little white dog back around, and gently tapped its head with the tip of his tail. "The sect leader is human, and he can't stand you clinging to him like that."

When Xiao Bai was brought back, it became dissatisfied and started biting She Jinxing's tail again, growling louder than before, its water-blue eyes glaring fiercely.

She Jinxing immediately laughed, "Not very old, but with quite a temper."

Shang Lin hurriedly stepped forward, "Little Bai is so fierce! I'm just a weak human, please don't be fierce to me."

Little White seemed to understand, and immediately transformed into an adorable creature, clinging to Shang Lin again. She Jinxing tried to pull it back, but Shang Lin stopped her, saying, "Since we have some time, I'll play with Little White a little longer."

The Divine Lord took out his Heart-Protecting Qilin and threw it far away. Little White darted away in a flash, so fast that Shang Lin almost thought he saw a white lightning bolt. He subconsciously asked, "Little White, have your injuries healed?"

"It's much better." The Divine Lord looked at Shang Lin disapprovingly and said, "When are you going to change this 'doting father' attitude? You can't just spoil and pamper a cub all the time, otherwise what will happen when he grows up?"

Shang Lin wanted to say, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

But the next second his phone rang first, and he had no choice but to take it out to answer. When he saw that it was Meng Zhe, he smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Meng Zhe."

"Shang Lin..." Meng Zhe's voice trembled slightly on the other end of the phone, "Could you come to my house? Something happened at my house, my father..."

Shang Lin immediately put on a serious face, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know either. The house is a mess, and I can't find him."

Shang Lin, "..."

What's going on during the Lunar New Year? Shang Lin paused for a moment and quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm coming right now. Are you safe?"

"I don't know either, I'm in my basement."

"Don't worry. If it's an evil spirit, with your noble destiny, they won't dare to get close to you. Just make sure nothing tangible harms you. I'll be right there."

Shang Lin put down his phone and said to She Jinxing, "I'll go to Meng Zhe's house first. You can drive and pick me up."

She Jinxing immediately refused, "I'll go with the sect leader. Hu Tangdi will drive to pick us up."

"Alright."

Shang Lin instructed the Divine Lord to tell Hu Tangdi to drive and pick them up, while he himself activated a teleportation talisman and disappeared into the Dragon Spirit Tower with She Jinxing.

The deity sighed softly, "Sigh, even during the New Year, there's no peace. Shang Lin really has a life of toil." As he spoke, he resignedly sent a message to Hu Tangdi.

In fact, Shang Lin had two more days of rest, but Xing Tian and Hu Tangdi didn't rest at all. They were still shooting videos, doing live streams, and grabbing traffic. When it came to making money, the Yuntai Sect was united in purpose.

But when Hu Tangdi saw the message from the deity, he hurriedly told Xing Tian and drove straight to the county. So Xing Tian had no choice but to use Old Man Chai as free labor and continue working.

When Shang Lin and She Jinxing arrived at Meng Zhe's house, it was a little after eight o'clock in the evening. It was pitch black all around, and there was no festive atmosphere of the second day of the Lunar New Year. However, there was no evil spirit or other strange atmosphere.

It seemed that it was just dark and the lights in Meng Zhe's house were off, but Shang Lin immediately frowned. Could something have happened to Meng Zhe? He hurriedly went forward to push the door open, but She Jinxing reached out and grabbed him, saying, "I'll do it."

"Okay." Shang Lin didn't refuse, but simply added, "Be careful."

"Um."

The gate to Meng Zhe's house was not locked, and She Jinxing pushed it open easily. The courtyard was dark, but it did not affect their view.

Meng Zhe's family's Shang Lin visited once last year, and it doesn't seem to have changed much now, so he said the house is a mess. Where is it messy?
