Even though Shang Lin said that the mental health of his disciples was also important, and since he still needed to refine pills in the Dragon Spirit Tower, he decided to personally communicate with the tower spirit.
However, the usually quiet Daoist group was suddenly flooded with messages, almost all asking Shang Lin if he was on winter break.
Shang Lin could tell at a glance that everyone was anxious about the pills, so he replied: "It's the first day of the holiday, I'll go and refine the pills right away."
Mingyue Temple - Yao Mingyue: Sect Master Shang, don't worry. There's an auction on the 9th of this month. We can go and see if we can find any medicinal herbs we need. If we get something good, we can exchange it for pills.
Yuntai Sect - Shang Lin: What auction?
Qingfeng Temple – Yu Qingfeng: It is an auction held by some reclusive sects. They usually have some good items, which they either exchange or sell. It can also be considered a platform for communication.
Yuntai Sect - Shang Lin: This kind of auction isn't open to just anyone, is it?
Mingyue Temple - Yao Mingyue: Smiley face emoji. Sect Master Shang has never heard of this. Does money make the world go round? Even if your Yuntai Sect is not well-known now, as long as you have money, you can still participate.
Yuntai Sect - Shang Lin: Crying face emoji, what should I do if I'm starting to resent the rich?
Qingfeng Temple - Yu Qingfeng: If Sect Master Shang Lin doesn't mind, you can come with me.
Mingyue Temple - Yao Mingyue: Yu Qingfeng, you really know how to behave. Sect Leader Shang, I can take you there too.
Unaware Temple - Yuanyin: Sect Master Shang, please come with me, after all, we are acquaintances.
Mingyue Temple – Yao Mingyue: ...
Qingfeng Temple - Yu Qingfeng: Master, you are very knowledgeable.
The atmosphere in the group changed instantly; everyone wanted to take Shang Lin to the auction, and those who logged on later saw this and hurriedly joined in.
Upon seeing this, Shang Lin quickly changed the subject: "Do you still need the pills you ordered before? If so, I'm going to refine them now."
There was a moment of silence in the group, and then everyone said in unison: We need it.
Shang Lin logged off in a flash. What a guy! Everyone's so good at this. But he's poor and doesn't really want to go to auctions. What if he likes something but can't afford it? It's better not to see it or not know about it.
Since it was about the 9th anyway, Shang Lin didn't want to be distracted by it. After all, the tower spirit had developed "psychological problems," and as the tower master, he had to seriously try to comfort it.
So She Jinxing stayed outside, while Shang Lin went to the Dragon Spirit Tower to refine pills. Of course, what he told Old Man Chai was that he had gone to the city library and would be back later.
After watching all the videos on She Jinxing's account, Shenjun became idle again. When he saw Shang Lin, he looked listless. It took him a while to react before he exclaimed, "How did you get in?"
Shang Lin smiled, "How can I refine pills if I don't come in? I still have four orders to complete."
The deity looked listless again, and said, "Oh."
Shang Lin examined the deity intently, even reaching out to take his pulse, but was refused and questioned, "What do you mean? How could a tower spirit like me get sick?"
Shang Lin, "..."
Here it is, this is the feeling, I knew I had a psychological problem.
The deity immediately became displeased, "What kind of look is that? Is it strange that I'm not sick?"
Shang Lin quickly conceded, "It's not surprising, but has the Divine Lord ever heard of a condition called mental illness?"
The deity glared at him. "What do you mean? Are you saying I have a mental illness?"
"How could that be? I'm just discussing the matter with the Divine Lord." Shang Lin suddenly said in a serious tone, "However, starting tomorrow, there will be more things going on in our sect, so the Divine Lord should take them seriously to avoid any negative impact on our sect."
The deity said with great disdain, "It's just a sect-wide gathering tomorrow, and there's a human kid involved."
"That's just the beginning. I'll be very busy this winter break, and as the tower spirit, you'll probably be even busier than me." Even if you're not busy, I can't let you be idle, because things can easily change if you're idle!
"I'm busier than you?" The deity asked, puzzled. "Busy with what?"
Shang Lin pointed upwards, "First up is the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower. From now on, my alchemy business will increase, and I'll also be taking orders for weapon crafting. How can I survive without work?"
Following Shang Lin's words, the Divine Lord said, "Hmm, that is indeed a problem, but the second level of the Dragon Spirit Tower... wait a minute, you don't mean you want me to open the second level of the Dragon Spirit Tower, do you?"
Shang Lin nodded. "As a tower spirit, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
The Divine Lord immediately jumped up and down, "Shang Lin, what are you thinking? How many levels the Dragon Spirit Tower can open, and to what extent, does it all depend on your cultivation level? I am the tower spirit, that's true, but to increase my cultivation level, I also need to rely on you."
Shang Lin suddenly laughed and said, "What you said is absolutely correct, but haven't you heard the saying, 'The action of force is mutual'? That is to say, I am also dependent on you. If your power increases, I will also benefit. So why don't we work together?"
God, "..."
After a long pause, he finally said, "Shang Lin, are you trying to slack off?"
Shang Lin sighed helplessly, "Don't you know how busy I am? I'd like to slack off, but unfortunately, the circumstances don't allow it. So let's share the burden. After all, I'm a sickly person. How long have I been living like a normal person? Besides, I haven't even fully recovered yet, and I could be in danger at any time..."
"Stop." The Divine Lord looked at Shang Lin with a hint of disdain and continued, "Speak, what do you want me to do?"
Shang Lin smiled a little embarrassedly, "Of course I hope that the Divine Lord can help me level up, so that I will have time to do other things, such as making money, making lots and lots of money, so that I can buy all kinds of supplies for our cultivation. It's better than me not daring to even participate in a regular auction right now."
"What auction?"
Shang Lin took out his phone and showed the chat history to Shen Jun. Anyway, this guy was bored out of his mind, so he might as well let him see it himself.
Just as Shang Lin was preparing to set up the formation and refine pills, he suddenly saw the sleeping little turtle and asked, "Can the second floor be used? I want to refine pills."
As the deity returned the phone to Shang Lin, he replied, "If it's just about alchemy, that should be fine."
"Then take me up there to have a look."
The deity gave another look of disdain, "You're even shirking this little thing?"
Shang Lin seemed oblivious to the God's expression and said quite frankly, "I have to finish four orders today, and I don't even know if I can manage. Naturally, I should try not to do anything unnecessary. Didn't we just agree to work together? We haven't even started yet, and the God is already trying to shirk his responsibilities?"
God, "..."
