Shang Lin had no idea how the Divine Lord viewed him. He continued with his money-making plan. In addition to mountain products, he also planned to sell some medicinal herbs. Thanks to Lü Yao's efforts, the growth cycle of medicinal herbs was now very close to that of wild mountain vegetables, and their spiritual energy remained undiminished.

As for alchemy or medicine making, one must have enough money to purchase the necessary materials. Alchemy can be done in the Dragon Spirit Tower, since the tower spirit can handle most common pills.

However, selling medicinal herbs is different from selling mountain products. They need to be packaged properly, and you need to find knowledgeable people or people who urgently need them. For this reason, Shang Lin even cast a divination and sent She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi to the southeast.

After arranging the money-making matters for the time being, Shang Lin said to Xing Tian, ​​"You need to teach Huang Ying and Huang Li to read in the Dragon Spirit Tower. They will still need to travel in the human world in the future, so they can't be naive and ignorant. What if they get scammed again?"

Huang Ying hurriedly said, "Sect Master, I'm not stupid."

Huang Li replied, "I'll learn it; I've never even left the mountains."

Qiu Niang hurriedly added, "I want to learn too."

Xing Tian glanced at the assignment given by the sect leader, then at the three new students, and thought that being a ghost wasn't any easier than being a human, except that there was no suffering from illness. However, since the sect leader had already spoken, he could only agree, and so the meeting for the evening came to an end.

As everyone returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower one by one, Qiu Niang, who was left behind, asked Shang Lin, "Sect Master... where is General Ji?"

"Ah, he has some things to take care of, he'll be back soon."

Qiu Niang didn't say anything more and immediately returned to the tower.

Whenever Ji Xiaoyao was mentioned, Shang Lin thought of that painting. It was fine to seal him in the tower for the time being, but the problem still needed to be solved!

However, the problem now is Ji Xiaoyao. It's not good to always have him around. The Dragon Spirit Tower is a better place for him to recuperate. Besides, even Qiu Niang, who is usually indifferent to everyone, has started asking about him, so we can't afford to delay any longer.

So Shang Lin immediately released Ji Xiaoyao, not knowing if his condition had improved.

However, no matter how high Ji Xiaoyao's cultivation level was, it was impossible for him to recover in such a short time after being directly exposed to sunlight as a ghost. It was already a testament to his strength that he hadn't been completely annihilated.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoyao's appearance had not changed at all, Shang Lin could only take out the very simple talisman-drawing tools he had bought before to draw a talisman. Although it was a bit simple, it was just right for him since he didn't have much cultivation at the moment.

I can't draw anything too amazing, but I can help Ji Xiaoyao cover up some of his appearance. This coincides with my initial idea of ​​treating it as practice. I still can't figure out what General Ji is being so awkward about.

Ji Xiaoyao didn't know why Shang Lin had released him, so he could only ask in confusion, "Sect Master, is there something you need me to handle?"

Shang Lin spoke the truth, "I'll help you conceal your appearance so you can recuperate in the Dragon Spirit Tower."

Ji Xiaoyao paused, then subconsciously asked, "How do we cover it up?"

Although Shang Lin knew a lot of things, it would take a lot of time to explain them, so he thought for a moment and chose the simplest explanation: "It's like a sleight of hand."

Ji Xiaoyao was about to ask, "You can?" but then he remembered what Shang Lin had told him before, that he knew a lot of things, so he remained silent.

However, the ghosts all knew that Shang Lin was in poor health, and they would stay away from him as much as possible unless absolutely necessary. So Ji Xiaoyao quickly disappeared into the corner furthest away from him.

Shang Lin drew five talismans in a row. Even though they were very simple, they were very taxing on his spiritual energy. As a result, when he finished drawing, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shang Lin called Ji Xiaoyao over and used five talismans to cover up the more frightening-looking injuries on his body before asking, "Can you go into the tower to recuperate now?"

Ji Xiaoyao took out his glasses and looked at himself from all sides. Apart from his face being a bit disheveled, the arrow wounds and gunshot wounds were completely invisible. He couldn't help but say sincerely, "Sect Master is indeed amazing."

Shang Lin wanted to say, "Instead of flattering me, can you at least consider whether I'm even a human being? Is it really okay to just casually pull out your eyes or something?"

But being with Ji Xiaoyao was much colder than being with Xing Tian, ​​so he said, "Then you can go into the tower."

"good."

As soon as Ji Xiaoyao disappeared, Shang Lin immediately fell asleep. He was so tired, but the more he wanted to rest, the less time he had to properly recuperate. It was a real contradiction.

Shang Lin slept very soundly, but was actually woken up by the sound of Li Hongjin coming to his house to see him the next day and talking to Old Man Chai. Looking at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Goodness, if Li Hongjin hadn't come, I don't know how long I would have slept. It's like my days and nights are completely reversed.

Shang Lin quickly got up and dressed, then went to see Li Hongjin, who had lowered his voice after hearing Old Man Chai say that he was still asleep.

Upon seeing Shang Lin, Li Hongjin asked apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"

Shang Lin made up a lie with a straight face, "No, I just don't have class today and don't want to get up early. Did you need something?"

"Oh, your classmate, Lin Shengqi, just called looking for you. He sounded quite anxious, so I told him to wait a moment and came to find you."

Shang Lin paused, wondering if Xiao Qiqi's visit meant that Lin's father's health had deteriorated again. Hadn't he already recovered and been discharged from the hospital? It had been eight or nine days, hadn't it?

Shang Lin hurriedly said to Old Man Chai, "Godfather, I'll go call my classmate first, and then we'll eat."

"Put on some clothes, it's chilly in the morning," Old Man Chai immediately advised. "You just got up, don't catch a cold."

Well, given the sickly boy's health, this situation could indeed happen. So Shang Lin went back to find a thick coat to wear before going to Li Hongjin's house.

Lin Shengqi was indeed waiting on the other end of the phone, because as soon as the call connected, he asked urgently, "Shang Lin?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Shang Lin's tone was calm, and even though it was only a few words, it calmed Lin Shengqi's panicked heart. "It's my father. Although he has been discharged from the hospital, he is extremely weak. He sweats profusely after doing even a little bit of heavy work, looking like he has been soaked in water. I'm very worried and wanted to ask you what we should do about him?"

What Lin Shengqi really wanted to ask was, "Is my dad still not better?"

Shang Lin hurriedly asked, "Uncle, you're back to work? Haven't you been resting at home these past few days?"

Lin Shengqi's tone immediately became dejected, "No, he went back to work after I returned to school, but he couldn't last more than a few days before he had to go home to recuperate."

Shang Lin, "..."

That was corpse poison. It was only curable because the poisoning was short-lived and she happened to be there. I just didn't expect Mr. Lin to start working again so quickly. I forgot to mention it.
