Knowing that Shang Lin's cultivation was exhausted, the Divine Lord didn't say anything more, but he always felt that Shang Lin's words were not as simple as they sounded.
Ah, the human mind, so full of twists and turns. I wonder what method Shang Lin will use to make that little turtle obediently go into the painting and suffer?
Shang Lin had no idea what the Divine Lord thought of him. He was soaking in a medicinal bath while cultivating and successfully advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Although he knew he was going to advance, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
At this moment, the Divine Lord didn't care whether Old Man Chai would see him leaving the tower. After seeing the changes in the Dragon Spirit Tower, he appeared directly in front of Shang Lin and asked, "You've advanced again?"
Shang Lin was cleaning the bathtub at the moment and asked in return, "The Dragon Spirit Tower has been upgraded too?"
"Hmm." The deity clenched his fist. "My body has also grown larger, and even become more solid."
While wiping his hands, Shang Lin said, "Then the Divine Lord won't need the Soul-Stabilizing Pill anymore. But we agreed to work together, right? Isn't the Divine Lord being a little lazy?"
The Divine Lord glared at Shang Lin somewhat awkwardly, "It was only a few days ago? I still have to take care of Xiaobai, and my efforts also require money, don't they? Our sect is currently facing a tight budget, so we can only rely on you. You should continue to work hard."
Shang Lin, "..."
He really wanted to say, "God, even your laziness is done in such an elegant and refined way? Don't you have any sense of what it means to be an ancient dragon god...?"
Well, if I said that, the God would definitely reply, "What ancient dragon? I'm just a small tower spirit now."
Shang Lin didn't speak, and the Divine Lord looked at him seriously again and asked, "Then have you changed at all? For example, your 'tattoos'..."
"No." Shang Lin put down the towel, walked out of the bathroom and into his small bedroom. "But with my current physical condition, no, I should say the original Shang Lin's physical condition, it would be very difficult to advance to the fifth level. I still need to find a way as soon as possible."
The deity looked at Shang Lin with some confusion, "Hasn't your body basically recovered now? If it weren't for that 'tattoo' causing trouble, you wouldn't even have a cold or fever, so why can't you continue cultivating?"
Shang Lin sighed softly, "That's just a superficial phenomenon. Yuan Shang Lin's body was in terrible shape. How could I possibly repair it completely in just over a year? Especially since this was the price he paid for being born. I'm already defying the heavens. I'm lucky I wasn't struck by lightning. How could I possibly attempt to cultivate? Besides, cultivation is also defying the heavens. I think it's better to stay alive and not continue cultivating. Just stay in the human realm."
God, "..."
Are they taking turns making each other speechless? Besides, just living a life of hiding anywhere isn't the way Sect Master Shang behaves!
However, the deity said, "In that case, do whatever makes you happy. I'm going back."
As soon as the Divine Lord disappeared, Shang Lin collapsed onto the bed. The road ahead was long, so let him be depressed for a while. Unfortunately, after a short while, Sect Master Shang had no choice but to resign himself to taking out his phone and sending a message to Ji Xiaoyao.
He hadn't contacted Ji Xiaoyao about what Situ Pojun had told him before. Now that Ji Xiaoyao was at the annual meeting, if he came back and was transferred, wouldn't the free food be gone? That would be such a pity.
However, Shang Lin didn't call Ji Xiaoyao; instead, she sent him a message, which was quite direct: "Situ Pojun is being transferred. I've left you a lot of food; come back and enjoy it quickly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Oh, and there's also a Soul-Stabilizing Pill; come back and get it too."
Ji Xiaoyao didn't reply to the message, but the phone rang quickly. He immediately asked, "Who will replace me? I don't know if the Xing family is desperate or for some other reason, but someone has already infiltrated this area."
Because of Ji Xiaoyao's presence, and because they were all extremely busy, no one paid attention to Qiu Niang's situation. But since the mother and daughter had gone to live with their maternal relatives and were far away from their husband's relatives, how could they not have peace?
However, Shang Lin said, "I'll send Huang Ying and Huang Li."
"Okay." Ji Xiaoyao paused for a moment before asking, "Sect Master, are you all alright?"
Shang Lin paused, realizing that the Iron-Blooded General was... showing a tender side. He quickly replied, "Good, everyone is doing well, and they've even taken on new disciples. You weren't there when the whole sect gathered before. But you had to watch from afar, which probably wasn't easy for you, was it?"
Ji Xiaoyao replied in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine. As long as I can stay by Qiu Niang's side, I'm content."
Alas, what a romantic! As the sect leader, I was trying to consider the mental health of my disciples, but little did I know that it would be pointless. It's clear that not every disciple is like the Divine Lord.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet."
Good night, Sect Master.
"good evening."
As a straight man with no romantic experience, Shang Lin still finds it unbelievable that people like him are romantics. But then again, people are all different, and it's always better to be affectionate than indifferent, like a weirdo like himself.
But the Sect Master Shang, who had said "goodnight," did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he called Huang Ying again, asking her to take the almanac to "switch shifts" with Ji Xiaoyao and to find out more about the Xing family's situation.
Huang Ying readily agreed to the sect leader's arrangement, but then asked, "Why do we need to know about the Xing family? Have they caused trouble again?!"
"Probably, otherwise Ji Xiaoyao wouldn't have dared to leave for even a moment."
Huang Ying immediately complained, "Wait, what's wrong with those people? Mr. and Mrs. Xing are already separated, why are they still causing trouble? What else do they want? To kill the whole family and take all their assets?"
Shang Lin paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "If possible, I think they would definitely do that. It's just that there's no need for anyone to die, and there's a way to divide the family property. Otherwise, why would they cause such a commotion?"
"My goodness, humans are really..." Huang Ying quickly stopped speaking and said with a forced smile, "Sect Master, don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking about you."
"I'm not stupid, do you think I wouldn't know? Besides, no matter what kind of life form it is, there are good and bad ones, so you can't generalize. Alright, you guys should go over there as soon as possible to avoid wasting time."
Huang Ying hurriedly said, "I'll tell Xing Tian right now and then I'll head over."
Shang Lin hurriedly instructed, "Don't mention his family's affairs. Just tell him that Situ Pojun is looking for Ji Xiaoyao."
"Yes, Sect Master." Although Huang Ying didn't quite understand the Sect Master's intentions, whatever the Sect Master said was law, and they would carry it out.
So Huang Ying hung up the phone and immediately went to find Huang Li, and then took him to find Xing Tian, without wasting a single moment.
Shang Lin, on the other hand, finally closed his eyes to rest after arranging all these things; he was utterly exhausted...
