Is this really just a matter of willingness?!
Bai Chengyun felt he understood Shang Lin less and less, and this didn't seem like how he treated his disciples; it was more like he was spoiling a child! So, his daughter had been living in this kind of environment all this time? No wonder she was raised to be fair-skinned, chubby, and spoiled.
She Jinxing didn't react much, but silently channeled spiritual energy into Shang Lin. Regardless of whether there were leaves from the Tree of Life or not, the sect leader urgently needed spiritual energy, so he gave it to him first.
Red Scorpion saw this and hurriedly followed. In his heart, he had no hope whatsoever for Green One, that extremely stingy demonic plant. Besides, no one knew better than him how precious the Tree of Life was.
Shang Lin did not refuse the spiritual power of She Jinxing and Chi Xie. After all, if his body did not recover quickly, would he still be able to continue his studies once the holiday ended? The scientific knowledge of the human world was still very worthwhile to learn and draw upon.
However, Shang Lin then said to Bai Chengyun, "Although I successfully took you away from the sea, you still can't leave the Dragon Spirit Tower. Otherwise, you would definitely be cleaved into ashes by the Heavenly Dao. The human realm is now in the Dharma-ending Age, and it will absolutely not allow great demons to exist in the world, especially since you were previously imprisoned in the sea. You understand, right?"
Bai Chengyun nodded reluctantly. "I know that if I appear in the sea, there is still a glimmer of hope, but if I appear anywhere outside the sea, there is only one outcome—annihilation."
Shang Lin sighed softly, "It's good that you understand, I don't need to say anything more. But if you're ever impulsive in the future, you must think more about Xiao Bai. It has already lost its mother, and it can't lose its father too. No matter how good everyone in the Yuntai Sect is to it, they can't replace its closest relatives."
“Yes.” Bai Chengyun said very solemnly, “From now on, I will stay in the Dragon Spirit Tower to teach my daughter, unless Sect Master Shang allows me to leave.”
Before Bai Chengyun could finish speaking, a small figure swiftly moved in front of Shang Lin, carrying with it a vibrant life force.
For a moment at first, Shang Lin thought he was hallucinating because of his body. It wasn't until Lü Yao's figure stopped in front of him that he came back to his senses and looked at the leaf that Lü Yao handed him, which was full of vitality!
For a moment, Shang Lin's mind went blank, and she instinctively asked, "You actually! Really!! plucked a leaf from the Tree of Life!!!"
Green Jade looked at Shang Lin with a blank expression, as if to say, "This is not what you wanted." She carefully placed the leaf in his hand and then disappeared into the herb garden without a trace.
Apart from the newcomer Bai Chengyun, everyone else reacted similarly to Shang Lin. Even Xiao Bai knew that Lü Yao was not someone to be trifled with, so they shouldn't mess with him.
However, Shang Lin, who had obtained the leaves of the Tree of Life, was the first to come to his senses. He hurriedly went to the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower to refine pills, moving at lightning speed, as if he had not been injured at all.
The deity immediately said, "Alright, everyone disperse. Shang Lin needs to refine pills, so no one should disturb him."
She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Sect Master's spiritual power is insufficient right now, I'll go and help."
Bai Chengyun glanced at the Divine Lord subconsciously. "Sect Master Shang can also refine pills?" As far as he knew, humans who could draw talismans, make magic robes, and set up formations were already considered peerless geniuses. How could they also refine pills?!
