6 min read1,483 words

Mo Shulin didn’t plan to do errands and sweeping tasks, his cultivation base was low, and going out could led him to be bullied.

Those physical tasks that anyone can do don’t make much money. The disciples from the outer sect were vying to do physical work, only because they just wanted to get close to the tower, hoping one day they could be in the eyes of the elders, and finding a master as a backer.

He now has Bai Yuming as a backer, so naturally he avoids those jobs as much as possible.

The most common task is to go out and find materials. Although it takes a long time to travel, but in the mountains and plains, there are free materials everywhere. After returning to the sect, they could get spirit stones. Unfortunately, his cultivation base is too low.

Fortunately, he learned a lot of crafts in his last life, and he can earn a little by finding some tasks for drawing symbols and talismans.

After Mo Shulin selected a few task, he used the inner disciple token to contact the formation and record the missions he received. Then he entered his spiritual energy into the formation method to confirm that it was the task he accepted, to avoid loss.

As the number of inner and outer disciple in Liangji sect is high as more than a thousand people come to the mission hall every day to find errands. Therefore, you only need to register with the disciple token to accept the task. Only when you hand over the task, you need to check the task to confirm the quality of the completion, so as to prevent someone from stealing and slipping.

After Mo Shulin received the task, he saw Bai Yuming, who didn’t know what he was thinking, wondered: “Master, won’t you take the task?”

“I, I will take it.” Bai Yuming returned to his senses, pretending to be serious. But his big black eyes kept glancing towards Mo Shulin.

“Master, you don’t need divine knowledge to get into the formation, how do you usually check the mission?” Mo Shulin frowned. Does this guy want to sell his hair again?

Bai Yuming smiled awkwardly, and asked, “What task did Little Shushu take?”

“Draw 50 low-grade blasting talismans, draw 80 low-grade defensive talismans, replace 100 damaged parts of the pathfinder rat…”Mo Shulin told the truth.

He is now an inner disciple and can receive ten tasks at the same time. Mo Shulin decided to take five in one breath.

“Wow. Why are you picking up so much? Won’t you be busy?” Bai Yuming was stunned.

“If I do all of these every day, it’ll be done in one month.” Mo Shulin naturally calculated the time when he took the task. He didn’t forget to praise Bai Yuming, “Master treats me well, so I can have a good life today. The disciple will be busy because I want to put more effort into the new house.”

Bai Yuming became more embarrassed because his disciple was so filial.

In fact, it’s not that Bai Yuming didn’t want to take any task, but it’s because he didn’t have the ability to take it. He didn’t have the memory of the original Bai Yuming, so naturally he didn’t have the same ability. He has the shell of a Mahayana cultivator, but he didn’t even dare to kill a chicken.

Seeing Bai Yuming’s expression, Mo Shulin’s suspicion deepened.

He tentatively asked: “Master, you used to focus on fighting, are you not very good at other things?”

“Yes, yes.” Bai Yuming nodded quickly, relieved his disciple gave him such a good reason, “I, I only know how to fight, and kill. I really can’t figure out other things. I don’t know what I can do.”

Mo Shulin pretended to be innocent: “Then I will find a few tasks that Master can do. How about that?”

“Great. You should help me choose Little Shushu!” Bai Yuming immediately agreed. Sure enough, the young disciple is clever as a master with a knowledge that’s deep as a valley.

Mo Shulin’s spiritual energy entered the formation, but his heart was flustered.

Today’s Bai Yuming is really not the previous Bai Yuming.

Many people only think that Bai Yuming can only fight and kill. But in fact it’s not like that. Since the former head’s wife favors Bai Yuming, he’s actually the worst at fighting.

The reason is simple, Bai Yuming is a rabbit demon.

Rabbit demon are gentle and kind-hearted herbivorous demons that would usually be bullied by carnivorous demons. They are best at healing spells and plant growth-promoting spells and have no ambition and no pursuit.

The former head’s wife is an extremely strong woman, often get wounded all over her body, so she deliberately contracted a docile rabbit demon as a battle pet. So that Bai Yuming can heal the injured owner. Even if the owner got killed one day, the rabbit demon won’t betray her, can help the owner pass peacefully.

In the past, Bai Yuming was completely forced to go to the battlefield and made a little bit of exploits. Later, Bai Yuming’s cultivation was advanced, allowing him to crush many low-level cultivators with his cultivation, gaining his current reputation. Also because Bai Yuming got influenced too much by the domineering personality of the previous head’s wife, that’s why Bai Yuming gained the reputation he has now.

To talk about Bai Yuming’s true skill, he could cultivate spirit grass and make medicated food.

If it weren’t for Bai Yuming’s assistance, the wounded body of the former head wife wouldn’t have survived until Mahayana period. Mo Shulin also aimed at Bai Yuming’s talent, that’s why he got to Bai Yuming’s peak.

Bai Yuming’s ability to make grass-based meals is a god-given treasure, and it’s also instinctive like drinking water or eating food.

Nowadays, Bai Yuming says that he knows nothing. In addition to the time when the two lived, Mo Shulin felt that Bai Yuming had problems.

Suddenly, Mo Shulin was puzzled.

If the Bai Yuming in front of him is a fake one, then is the Bai Yuming he saw hiding in his last life was real or false?

In other words, the former owner in charge didn’t terminate the master-servant contract at all. The real Bai Yuming had died with his master. Then Bai Yuming in front of him and the Bai Yuming he had known in his previous life were both fake. Maybe Bai Yuming is really a spy sent by the Demon Smiling Whitehead.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thought became, Mo Shulin simply stopped thinking.

From the corner of his eyes, Bai Yuming read with relish a script titled “The Demon Concubine Runs with the Ball”, the corner of Mo Shulin’s eyes twitched uncontrollably.

How could this rabbit demon’s IQ could afford the task of disrupting the Three Realms.

No need to care. His goal is to earn more spirit stones and find a way to find out the news of the Demon Smiling Whitehead. If he can get revenge, he’ll do it. With spirit stones, there is always a way to get informations of the demon, so to avoid being unable to do anything.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to steal the Demon Smiling Whitehead soul-catching artifact, even if he couldn’t send his parents and friends into reincarnation, at least he would no longer need to see his relatives a harmful tool for the demon.

Mo Shulin found a few tasks that Bai Yuming would be able to accomplish, fetch some materials, and the two returned to Yuexue Peak together.

However, Mo Shulin didn’t expect that Bai Yuming couldn’t even write, showing his strokes with the brush were all wrong.

“Master, didn’t you read scripts daily?” Mo Shulin saw the crooked and incomplete characters on the paper, his brows were so frowning that they could pinch several mosquitoes.

This task is very simple, it’s to instill spiritual power into the words when copying the heart-cleansing talismans. Using the heart-cleansing talismans can prevent disciples from being deceived by unknown spells. The higher cultivation of the person who copied heart-cleansing talismans, the stronger the effect.

Bai Yuming coughed uncomfortably, “I, this is a personal calligraphy.”

Mo Shulin: “…”

Mo Shulin looked down at the words that were the same but yet completely different, and looked up at his brazen master, “Master’s calligraphy is really wonderful.”

“Well, can it be copied like this?” Bai Yuming asked in embarrassment.

The cost of materials is counted in the task reward, if he can’t pay a certain amount, he will have to lose money.

“Yes.” This is why Mo Shulin is furious.

With such a hideous word, yet this heart-cleansing talisman is still effective. He just don’t know what kind of mood the disciple who uses this talisman will feel.
