The moment Shang Lin held the scale in his hand, he suddenly had the idea of refining a weapon. However, he had never refined a weapon with dragon scales before, and he was not capable of doing so under his current conditions.
I could only test the sharpness of the scales with a slight regret. After testing them, I asked the deity, "Are any of these scales your Heart-Protecting Scales?" Those are the hardest scales on a dragon's body.
The deity hurriedly replied, "No."
Oh ho, that's a tone that only makes things worse. But Shang Lin didn't press the matter, especially since the Divine Lord pointed out the claw hook to him again. "Why don't you take another look at the claw hook? Back in the day, I could flatten a mountain with one swipe of my claw."
However, Shang Lin resolutely refused. With his current small frame, he couldn't lift something so heavy. He turned the scale in his hand over; it was a bit too big and not easy to handle.
Shang Lin and the tower spirit talked as if no one else was around, which infuriated the "monkey". Moreover, the wound on Shang Lin's fingertip had not yet healed, and the smell of blood made it even more irritable, its eyes turning as red as if it were a demon crawling out of hell.
Shang Lin's eardrums trembled from hearing this, and he threw the scales in his hand at the "monkey," saying, "Noisy."
The scales grazed the "ape's" neck, leaving a bloody mark, before returning to Shang Lin's hand. He said with some disdain, "It's a pity that the scales are dirty."
The previously raging "ape" fell silent for a moment, then began to struggle desperately, shouting, "Who are you? How dare you try to kill me? I am a god, and you dare..."
Shang Lin leaped into the air and pounced on the "monkey," shouting, "What am I afraid of? I don't care what you are. If you want to eat me, why would I keep you alive for the New Year?"
Seeing that Shang Lin was serious, the bound "monkey" tried every means to avoid him, even rolling around on the ground without any regard for his image, destroying a lot of the medicinal herbs that Lü Yao had carefully cultivated.
Green Yao, who was having a sweet dream, was immediately awakened. In a daze, she saw her treasures lying on the ground, some injured and some destroyed. Then she saw the culprit still rolling around and immediately became angry.
As for Shang Lin, the accomplice, he was completely ignored by Lü Yao. With a roar, its small bamboo-like body instantly grew larger, and countless bamboo leaves flew towards the "monkey" like sharp blades.
Upon hearing Green Demon roar, Shang Lin retreated as quickly as possible, not forgetting to say, "Don't destroy its inner core."
Green Yao, in a fit of rage, didn't care about anything else. Anyone who dared to destroy his treasure would be destroyed in return, to be used as nourishment for his precious monkey. Finger-length "blades" flew towards the "monkey" like raindrops.
Seeing that his beloved inner core was about to be destroyed by Lü Yao, Shang Lin hurriedly shouted, "If you break its inner core, I will never let you drink its blood again."
The sturdy "bamboo" finally deigned to glance at Shang Lin, then slowed its attack. At this moment, the "monkey" had turned into a hedgehog, though it wasn't quite dead yet.
Sensing something was wrong with Shang Lin, Hu Tangdi rushed into the tower, only to be stunned by what he saw: it was... Green One?!
I remember when I brought Green Yao back last year, the sect leader said, "Don't underestimate it, and don't provoke it, otherwise we won't be able to handle it when it goes crazy."
Looking at it now, there's really nothing we can do. How can we dodge those rain-like blades? Unless we have a powerful shield or can erect a strong barrier, and even then, it's unclear how long that barrier can hold.
Green Yao suddenly shrank to the height of a person and actually spoke to Shang Lin, "I want it to be fertilizer."
Shang Lin was surprised that Lü Yao could speak and express herself clearly, after all, the cultivation path of a demon plant is even more difficult than that of a demon cultivator.
However, Shang Lin discussed with Lü Yao, "Isn't it a bit wasteful to use it as fertilizer?"
“No.” Green One showed no mercy whatsoever. “Inner core, you, it, me.”
"Alright, alright." Shang Lin had no choice but to compromise. Lü Yao was unstable right now, and he didn't dare to take any risks. "Then you can change back, right?"
Green Yao looked down at herself, as if she were shy, and in a flash she shrank to a tiny size. Then she darted into the pile of herbs and began to fiddle with them, trying to minimize the damage.
Shang Lin silently breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had his own blood as a bargaining chip. Otherwise, the mindless Lü Yao could have turned that "monkey" into fertilizer and scattered it on the ground. The scene was too "beautiful" to imagine.
Hu Tangdi asked Shang Lin softly, "Sect Master, what's going on? What happened to Green One...?"
Shang Lin didn't know why Lü Yao suddenly became furious, but seeing how carefully he was trying to save the medicinal herbs, he suddenly realized, "I damaged the medicinal herbs when I was fighting with that 'monkey.' It was attacking indiscriminately. Luckily, I dodged quickly, otherwise I would have been seriously injured if not killed."
Hu Tangdi suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped a disaster. If anything had happened to the sect leader, they would have been implicated. Fortunately, thankfully, "So, medicinal herbs are Green Yao's Achilles' heel?"
Shang Lin nodded, "At least one of them."
After saying that, Shang Lin walked to the corpse of the "ape" and took out its demon core with very neat movements. The demon core was not big and its color was not very good. He frowned when he saw it. "It is indeed not a proper demon cultivator. It seems that I can only make use of it."
The tower spirit retracted the Immortal-Binding Rope, looking at Shang Lin with a somewhat complicated expression, as if it really wanted to say, "I wonder how long you can keep your 'Tang Monk's flesh' secret?"
However, Shang Lin understood what the Divine Lord meant, and could only reply in his heart, "I don't know either, I can only do my best."
Hu Tangdi searched the "monkey's" corpse again and said with great disgust, "It doesn't even have a storage space, yet it dares to call itself a god."
Shang Lin smiled, "Perhaps it was once, but times have changed, and it's good enough to just be alive, let alone a god?"
"Yes!" Hu Tangdi remarked with rare emotion, "In the human realm, where is there any future for the demon race?"
Shang Lin looked at Hu Tangdi with some confusion, "Your awareness is quite high, worrying about the future of the demon race? The demon race is doing very well in the cultivation world, especially the sea demons, even the dragon race is not ranked. Moreover, it is easier for demons to ascend than for humans. As for the human world, it is not the territory of the demon race, so you really don't need to sigh."
"Really?" Hu Tangdi looked at Shang Lin with some surprise. "Then can we go to the cultivation world?"
Shang Lin pointed to his face, "Look at me, I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining. Do you think I can lead everyone across realms?"
Even with Shang Lin's words, Hu Tangdi remained unconvinced, "How high a cultivation level does the sect leader need to cross realms to carry us across?"
Shang Lin replied with three words that were utterly disheartening: "I don't know."
But then the deity added insult to injury, "Little Hu, you're not the type to overthink things, are you? Have you finished making the clothes? Have you received the final payment?"
Hu Tangdi, “…”
It turns out that the God-King is the most cunning one.
