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...
Although the human realm and the cultivation realm are not the same, there are many beings in the cultivation realm who ascended from the human realm. Especially since the end of the Dharma in the human realm, different species have been ascending continuously, so the divine system is basically the same.
The God-King naturally knew about the Night Wanderer, but it was precisely because he knew that he was so shocked to hear about it now. Of course, this shock stemmed from the irrationality of its existence.
After all, this is the Dharma-ending Age in the human realm. There are no powerful demons or beings left, let alone gods. Are you kidding me?
Shang Lin remained unmoved, just like before. He calmly said to the God Lord's shock, "If there are such anomalies as us, what else is impossible? Moreover, there are probably more anomalies in this city than we have encountered before. I just don't know if what I did in the dream can come true in reality. If it can, I can consider myself to have rid the people of a scourge."
Whether this can come true or not, even the deity can't say for sure. After all, this is the first time he has ever heard of someone exorcising demons in a dream. However, "haven't you used up all your talismans and oil?"
"Yes, so I hope it's true." Shang Lin then added with obvious pain, "But this is such an expensive expense, and the new department head won't reimburse me!!!"
The thought of burning money made Shang Lin want to roar to the sky. When Situ Pojun was making money by exorcising demons, he could make a fortune, taking hundreds of millions of dollars as he pleased. How come he was losing money instead?
"Alright, alright, stop worrying about it." The deity rarely advised, "How much money is more important than your life? Wait a little over a year, and you'll be eighteen years old. You'll be able to make money much faster then."
Okay, he'll put up with it.
As they were talking, She Jinxing arrived and also called Xing Tian, who was resting, over. The reason was simple: the sect leader needed to buy things, and Xing Tian needed the funds.
Xing Tian was still unaware of what was happening. He yawned as he followed She Jinxing up to the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower. If he remembered correctly, this was his first time here.
However, the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower is where the sect leader refines pills and draws talismans, and none of them would come up unless absolutely necessary.
But when Xing Tian saw Shang Lin on the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower, his drowsiness vanished, and he immediately became energetic. "Sect Master, do you want me to tutor you here?"
Just as Shang Lin finished writing down the raw materials he needed, he handed them to She Jinxing while answering Xing Tian, "No, I need you to allocate funds."
Xing Tian was taken aback. Weren't they on the same wavelength? He subconsciously asked, "How many?"
"Ask the little snake, I need to draw a talisman."
Xing Tian looked at She Jinxing, puzzled, and then asked Shang Lin, "So, are we still having tutoring today?"
"I'll fix it after I finish drawing the talisman."
"Alright then." Xing Tian followed She Jinxing downstairs, asking as they walked, "Did something happen? Why does the sect leader suddenly want to buy raw materials? Didn't the sect leader stockpile a lot of things when completing Situ Pojun's order?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. No matter how much you hoard, it will eventually be used up."
"All right."
Since Xing Tian started renting a place on his own, he has spent very little time with Shang Lin, so he is unaware of many things happening around Shang Lin.
Hearing what She Jinxing said, they had no choice but to go shopping with him, but their shopping methods were different, one online and the other offline.
The God Lord followed them downstairs, while Ah Chou went upstairs. As soon as Xiao Bai saw She Jinxing, he came to pester him, but the God Lord grabbed him and said, "He has something to do. You play with me."
Xiao Bai was unhappy. No one's scales were as good as She Jinxing's. Although the Heart-Protecting Scale was good, there was only one Heart-Protecting Scale, which could not be used to entangle.
Looking at the pitiful expression in Xiaobai's light blue eyes, She Jinxing suddenly chuckled and patted its head. "Good boy, the Divine Lord isn't someone you can just coax. You're the only one in our sect who can do that."
Xiao Bai seemed to understand and subconsciously glanced at the God, but the God glared at She Jinxing and said, "Go do what you're supposed to do and don't waste Shang Lin's time."
She Jinxing smiled and replied in perfect unison, "Yes, Master."
As soon as She Jinxing and Xing Tianyi left, the Divine Lord immediately led Xiaobai to the riverbank. Shang Lin needed to concentrate on drawing talismans and couldn't be disturbed in the slightest. Young cubs were really troublesome.
Although the deity found the cub troublesome, he still dutifully looked after Little White. The little guy was quite lively now, but his internal injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
This was the first time Shang Lin had drawn a talisman since he had been promoted three times. His brushstrokes were truly fluid and powerful, and he was able to draw even more difficult talismans in one go.
However, with the increased difficulty, the number of talismans that can be drawn decreases. Shang Lin felt that he still needed to calculate carefully to avoid exhausting his spiritual power and ending up with only a few talismans. That would be terrible. Who knows when or who might drag him into a dangerous dream?
Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, Shang Lin went directly to Lü Yao to ask for "blood ginseng." This thing was particularly effective in restoring spiritual energy. He just didn't know if Lü Yao had cultivated the "blood ginseng" properly, or if there was any real blood ginseng.
However, finding the tiny Green Jade in such a vast and lush herb garden was practically impossible, so Shang Lin, having exhausted his spiritual energy, could only prick his fingertip again at the edge of the herb garden.
The moment the blood flowed out, Green Yao appeared in front of Shang Lin and immediately laughed, "You're really amazing. You're clearly a demonic plant, so how come your nose is more sensitive than a dog's? Do you also have the bloodline of a demonic dog? Perhaps you've even used demonic dogs as fertilizer before?"
Green Jade didn't seem to understand what Shang Lin was talking about. With delicious food in front of it, how could it care about anything else?
Unfortunately, Shang Lin didn't immediately reach for Lü Yao. Instead, he hurriedly said, "Give me two of your red ginseng roots first. Otherwise, you'll be like a drunkard after you finish drinking. Where am I supposed to find ginseng?"
Green Jade, which had already pounced on Shang Lin's hands, looked at him and then reluctantly darted away. A moment later, two ginseng roots, still covered in leaves and soil, were presented to Shang Lin.
Shang Lin took it with one hand and stretched out the bleeding fingertip with the other. Lü Yao immediately hugged him, not wasting a single second. Soon after, A Chou also floated weakly to Shang Lin's side.
Upon seeing this, Shang Lin cut another fingertip. Fortunately, both servants knew their master's current physical condition, and once the wound on their fingertip healed, they both stepped back.
Then Green Yao "drunk" and lay down in the herb garden, and Ah Chou also went to meditate. Only then did Shang Lin leave the Dragon Spirit Tower, wash the ginseng clean, and eat it like a radish.
