Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is it just the two of us eating?"

Shang Lin paused as he served Lin Yu the soup. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Lin Yu pointed to the dishes on the table, "Can the two of us finish this?"

Shang Lin immediately laughed and said, "The plates are big, but the portions are small, so it just looks like a lot. I was worried there wouldn't be enough to eat."

Lin Yu, "..."

Is it that your eyesight is bad, or is it that mine is bad?

However, Lin Yu didn't say anything. He took the soup that Shang Lin handed him, took a sip slowly, and then began to eat seriously.

Shang Lin didn't say anything, just ate in silence, but he was a little curious. Where did this person put the Purple Flame Spirit Ginseng and other spiritual herbs? Or did he not bring them at all?

As for storage bags and the like, Shang Lin felt that with the resources available to cultivators in the human realm, they probably wouldn't have them! No, they probably wouldn't have the kind that could hold spiritual herbs.

After all, plants are delicate, especially spiritual herbs and medicines. Some of them must be used immediately after leaving the soil, otherwise they will wither and die, becoming worthless.

However, Shang Lin wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, Lin Yu was here. Even if he didn't bring any precious herbs, he could bring others. Ah Chou's herb garden was always lacking in new products.

Lin Yu ate for a while, then put down his chopsticks and took out a small box from his suitcase and handed it to Shang Lin. "This is the thank-you gift I promised to Sect Master Shang."

Shang Lin looked at the small box; its surface shimmered with light, and it even had a magic array that combined defense and offense—truly rare. As he took it, he asked, "Can I open it here?"

Lin Yu nodded, "Sure, this box is enhanced with illusion magic. Not only can ordinary people not see what's inside, but it also protects the contents very well."

Shang Lin raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's rare to find such a good thing in the human world these days."

Lin Yu smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Of course not now. These are things left behind by the seniors of my sect, but now... there aren't many left."

Shang Lin examined the box carefully, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Brother Lin gave me the medicinal herbs, are you giving me this box too?"

Lin Yu shook his head slightly, "No, but we can lend it to Sect Master Shang first and take the herbs back with him."

Shang Lin tapped lightly on the lid of the box with his fingers, then suddenly sent a telepathic message to Lin Yu, "Brother Lin, were you threatened by someone before coming here?"

Lin Yu was startled and subconsciously looked around before his gaze finally settled on Shang Lin's face. He asked with a puzzled look, "Sect Master Shang, did you just speak?"

Shang Lin smiled slightly and continued to transmit his voice, "Brother Lin, you don't even know about telepathy, do you? This way, the confidentiality is much higher."

Lin Yu stared at Shang Lin in shock, "You, you, you can do this too?!"

Shang Lin nodded slightly.

Lin Yu's face showed even greater shock, and even his voice trembled slightly, "What else... what else is there that you... can't do?"

Shang Lin immediately laughed and said, "There are many, I don't have time to count them all."

After saying that, Shang Lin started transmitting his voice again, "So now can you answer my question from earlier?"

Lin Yu lowered his head and remained silent for a while before replying in a low voice, "It can't really be called a threat, can it? It's just that my sect leader is seriously injured, and we couldn't bring out much with us that night of the Blood Moon. His idea is that since Sect Master Shang is so capable, if he can retrieve everything from the box himself, he'll give it all to you; if he can't..."

Lin Yu looked up and hurriedly explained, "I know it's a bit unfair of us to do this, but if Sect Master Shang isn't capable enough, he'll quickly lose the gift we give him, and it might even bring him danger, so... that's why I didn't say anything just now."

Shang Lin nodded slightly, "How is your Divine Medicine Sect doing now?"

Lin Yu was a little slow to follow Shang Lin's train of thought, but still answered truthfully: "The disciples who have now basically recovered from their injuries are still tending to the herb garden. In the future, they may become raw material suppliers for an official pharmaceutical company. They will also build roads, provide water, electricity, and internet for us."

Shang Lin looked at Lin Yu with some surprise, "Does your Divine Medicine Sect live a life of isolation without water, electricity, or internet?"

"No, no, it's about having running water, electricity, and internet access. After all, our Divine Medicine Sect occupies a relatively large area." Lin Yu quickly steered the conversation back on track. "So, Sect Master Shang, do you accept this gift of gratitude, or not?"

Shang Lin, "..."

The large area it occupies is something that makes people quite envious, right?

However, Shang Lin tapped the box again with his fingers. "Of course I want it, but it's not appropriate to open it here. I need to find a secluded place. I'll return the box to you before you leave, Brother Lin."

"May I go with Sect Leader Shang?" Lin Yu smiled a little awkwardly. "Actually, only the successive sect leaders can open this box, so I'd like to see how Sect Leader Shang opens it?"

Shang Lin nodded slightly, "Okay, then we'll go open the box after we finish eating."

Because Lin Yu was preoccupied with unpacking the box, he didn't notice how much they ate. After finishing, he packed up his things and hurriedly followed Shang Lin away.

Shang Lin no longer eats food containing spiritual energy, yet his appetite is truly enormous, so he excels at finishing his plate. At the same time, he felt a deep pang of sympathy once again for the disciples who initially followed him.

At that time, if Huang Li hadn't come to my house to steal chickens, I probably wouldn't have realized that lowly demons in the human world need to eat. Even great demons like She Jinxing and Chi Xie need to eat when their spiritual energy is insufficient.

Sigh, I really don't know anything since I just arrived in the human world!

Shang Lin did not take Lin Yu home, much less to the Dragon Spirit Tower. Instead, he found a hotel nearby, since Lin Yu would also need to stay in a hotel anyway, so it was a win-win situation.

However, upon arriving at the guest room, Shang Lin did not immediately open the box. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to the Divine Lord, instructing him to use the Dragon Spirit Tower to cover the guest room, but to be careful not to be discovered by Lin Yu.

The God-King's recent main task has been taking care of the children. When he saw Shang Lin's message, he was momentarily stunned and subconsciously asked: What's going on?

After the message was sent, the Divine Lord realized that Shang Lin was up to something dangerous that wouldn't damage the environment, so without waiting for a reply, he immediately used the Dragon Spirit Tower to cover the guest room.

The Dragon Spirit Tower of today can cover more than just a few dozen square meters, so it can easily accommodate a hotel room, and it offers even greater privacy than before.

However, Shang Lin still explained to the Divine Lord what he was going to do, so that they wouldn't just wander over into the tower at will, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lin Yu.

after all……
