Chapter 12: Moving to a Cave

6 min read1,578 words

The house has collapsed, so naturally they had to find a way to repair it.

The fat rabbit is now a pouting rabbit, he rescued his clothes and storage bags from under the wreckage, during this period, he didn’t forget to mourn over the dirty food that he has stored up.

The black bean syrup is now full of dust, so he can no longer drink it. But the spiritual wheat crisps and spiritual sesame shortbread seemed to be edible after a few bites.

Mo Shulin could only glance at the corner of his eyes and watch his fat rabbit Master placed the dirty food back into the storage bag.

He can fully imagine from Master’s poor lifestyle that the road to building a house will long and difficult.

The fat rabbit digs out the storage bag, and even if he knew on how to flip his rabbit paws, he can’t find any spirit stones, there’s not even a lower grade ones.

It’s really embarrassing.

Because Bai Yuming usually doesn’t work and doesn’t make contributions to the sect, every month he only got his monthly guaranteed spirit stones, which is a little bit more than the disciple of the gate.

As a disciple of Liangji sect. Mo Shulin had a middle-grade spirit stone, and as the elder of the saltiest fish, Bai Yuming could only get the lowest guarantee, ten middle-grade spirit stones.

The number of spirit stones is indeed not much, but this is a guaranteed wage.

If you really want to do some work, the elders could make good fortune even if they only took some mission.

Like those deacons who work almost in the sky, they directly receive high-grade spirit stones. With Bai Yuming’s cultivation base, it’s not too hard to get a hundred spirit stones every month.

But if you have craftsmanship skills, you can start a business just by nesting in the mountains.

Herbs, elixirs, magical weapons, charms, anything that can be sold can be turned into income, and the Liangji sect has a dedicated person responsible for the purchase.

Even if anyone goes to the Liangji sect once a month to teach those outer disciples, or even serve as a support ground, sitting in a shop under the Liangji sect, they won’t be as poor as Bai Yuming.

It can be said that the reason why Bai Yuming is so poor is that he’s lazy, greedy and yet never saves any money.

But everyone has their own ambitions, Bai Yuming doesn’t want to work, and the Liangji sect cannot force Bai Yuming to work.

Raise troops for a thousand days and use it for a while. Bai Yuming is the kind of warfare who’ll be used against Demon Sovereign’s attack before he can make a move, then the rest of his time is leisurely and lazy, even the head won’t care.

Though, many great talents are from practicing in seclusion on the mountain, just to become immortal as soon as possible and gain an unparalleled lifespan. It’s just that those great talents have a family background, and Bai Yuming doesn’t have it either.

“Master, I know that there are a few nice caves on the mountainside, and we don’t necessarily have to build a house.” Mo Shulin saw that Bai Yuming hadn’t found any spirit stones after turning the storage pouch over for a long time, he finally knew his master hadn’t saved any money at all.

After their house fell apart, if they move into a cave, they only need to move their daily necessities. While solving daily life problems, there will be no need to entangle the problem of spirit stones.

“It’s okay to live there temporarily, but long-term staying is not good for you. The air is poor, doesn’t have sufficient aura, and there’s no sunshine. Staying for a long time will be depressing.” The fat rabbit rejected Mo Shulin’s suggestion without thinking.

Mo Shulin didn’t expect Bai Yuming to think about him.

But this is indeed the truth.

Bai Yuming, regardless of whether he reads script during the day or night, has a high level of cultivation to protect his body, it makes no difference where he lives. Even if there’s no house to live in, he can just use the sky as his bed.

The rain won’t make him sick, and the lightning can’t break him. Bai Yuming’s cultivation base allowed him to not needing any vulgar objects at all.

But Mo Shulin is different. He’s still in the Qi refining period, even if he can live by eating Bigu pill now, after that, he has to grow vegetables and find a way to get some medicinal materials to regulate his body. The best location for him in the Yuexue Peak is here, in the thatched house.

The cave is dark and humid, and water can seeps in the rainy season.

Whatever the condition is, Mo Shulin still hopes that Bai Yuming will rebuild a slightly sturdy house instead of competing with snakes, insects, rats and ants for a cave.

The Fat Rabbit sighed, “Let’s hurry find a cave to put things away. Otherwise, this broken roof can’t block the snow any longer. Next, we’ll earn some spirit stones to build a better house later.”

Mo Shulin didn’t think that Bai Yuming would speak such wise words, it made Mo Shulin look at this short and fat rabbit with admiration.

Since there are storage bags, they could collect their things then put them away. This temporary moving residence will be completed in one hour.

Because it is a temporary residence, the cave won’t be expanded, but they simply just search a wider cave.

Separated the cave with a few pieces of cloth, on the left is Mo Shulin’s bedroom, and on the right is Bai Yuming’s rabbit nest. A small section from the center of the cave to the entrance of the cave is the living area. There’s a table and two chairs, there’s also a place to sit down. When you need to cook and make a fire, you would have to get outside the cave. As soon as the fire started, the snow melts and the ground becomes wet, which is extremely inconvenient.

In order to give Mo Shulin room for bed and wardrobe, Bai Yuming’s bedroom could only be small and narrow, making his bedroom smaller than Mo Shulin’s bed. Mo Shulin looked embarrassed and said several times that he would put the wardrobe outside, but Bai Yuming didn’t care about this problem at all.

He’s a rabbit, he doesn’t sleep on a bed. Instead of wasting space, it’s better to give the little disciple the minimum living needs fulfilled.

Bai Yuming turned back into a human form in the bedroom partitioned by thick cloth and put on some clothing. The cave is full of stones and soil, and Bai Yuming has to wear shoes this time.

Mo Shulin didn’t need to look at those bare foot anymore, feeling his body and mind were much better.

Seeing Bai Yuming sitting on the chair thinking, and then looking at the two compartments with obviously different sizes, Mo Shulin was really embarrassed. He was still struggling to contribute his storage bag.

“Master, I still have some valuable things here, and elder Shangguan Zhuqing has also given me a lot of spiritual stones. I am willing to give them all to build a new house.” Mo Shulin placed the storage bag on the table with both hands.

Bai Yuming didn’t expect his little disciple to be so generous, but he still declined: “No. In fact, being a teacher is also valuable. The disciple should understand the teacher’s heart.”

No matter how difficult, he can’t take the little disciple’s things.

Feiyun Valley’s things are commemorative. And the things Shangguan Zhuqing gave would not be too expensive, even if he took it, it was only a drop in the bucket, not enough to build a new house.

Mo Shulin was full of disbelief.

But Mo Shulin couldn’t help but guess that a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Bai Yuming should have some family background since he could become an elder in Liangji Sect.

Bai Yuming didn’t get too entangled with this topic, but said: “Let’s go and see how many spirit stones are needed to build a house.”

With a goal, he knew where to work hard.

In the Liangji Sect, each performs their duties, each settles in their place, each fulfills their responsibility, and each gets what they wanted.

All kinds of magic weapons are placed in the Qiaogong Hall. There are exquisitely carved rocks, kinetic wooden chickens that crow, and iron goldfish with large tails swimming in the air.

Everything imaginable and unexpected can be found in Qiaogong Hall.

Bai Yuming also came to Qiaogong Hall for the first time, looking straight at the lifelike handicrafts.

The little apprentice Mo Shulin who followed Bai Yuming lowers and bowed his head, steady and not rude.

The young disciple who was in charge of leading the way, saw this pair of masters and disciples, became very surprised. This master seemed like a new disciple who has never seen the world, but this disciple is like a calm and knowledgeable master, which is really strange.

But no matter what their external appearance is, the master of Qiaogong Hall still politely saluted Bai Yuming, who “has never seen the world”, “Elder Bai, I’ve express my long admiration to you.”
