6 min read1,452 words

It was the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

In Liangji sect, most of the disciples are preparing to go home for the New Year.

According to the regulations, all the new disciples in first entry year will have a long holiday, from the first lunar month to the 31st of lunar month in the following year, it was a full two months, so that the disciples can go home to announce the good news and have a good year.

Wealthy disciples will be picked up by their families, which is very convenient.

Disciples from a well-off family can rent spirit beasts for transportation at Liangji sect, since tamed spirit beasts are docile, obedient, and more majestic.

Poor disciples can report the area where they live, and an elder will send the disciples to the nearest affiliated town. When the agreed time is up, the elders will once again send another disciples in a town near Liangji sect.

This transportation method is not only convenient for the disciples, but also a good way for Liangji sect to elevate itself.

After all, Liangji sect is one of the three major sects in Cultivator Continent, it’s also better than smaller sect in all aspects.

In his previous life, Mo Shulin used the sect rules many times to survive and avoid being bullied by other disciples.

This is one of the reasons why Mo Shulin is willing to re-enter the Liangji sect.

Although Liangji sect doesn’t want disciples to have close contact with their families, but their family can provide resources for their children to practice and speed up their cultivation. They also hopes that their children can quickly improve their cultivation base and become one of Liangji sect’s elder to report back to their families.

While the relatives are still alive, Liangji sect can never prohibit disciples from going home for the New Year. If you enter the sect, you have to disconnect from your family. Whoever wants to send good seedlings to the sect entry, it’s better to remain with the whole family.

Mo Shulin had nothing to expect for the New Year, Feiyun Valley has reduced to ruins, and he’s already rootless duckweed.

Bai Yuming didn’t know if he had a home to go back to. He doesn’t have the memory of the original owner, he only knows the original story about rabbit fur scarf. He can’t ask Shangguan Zhuqing if he has any rabbit relatives.

However, he’s now in the Mahayana period, and even if there is any rabbit relatives, their blood relationship should be extremely weak. With his status, he shouldn’t visit the junior, but they should be the one who bring a gift under the Yuexue Peak and worship him. Therefore, Bai Yuming was also very relieved to stay on Yuexue Peak and continue to write heart-cleansing talismans.

The battle for the secret realm provided by Yan Qianqian was suppressed until New Year’s Day, which was scheduled for February 1st to 10th.

Liangji sect is not bad, so they used some money to buy two bottles of wound medicine, but it can’t allow the disciple going home after a painful beating. Once the list comes out, the disciple’s life will be in danger once he returns home.

This time they’re going to enter the secret realm for inheritance. Not to mention that the juniors are anticipating, even many elders are planning on how to put their own disciples into the list.

Such an enviable secret realm, if the list comes out first, it’s equivalent to place these outstanding disciples on the death penalty platform.

If they leave the sect, they could suffer a beating.

This is a good thing for the sect, but for Mo Shulin, even though he wouldn’t be in the list, but it still bothered him making him scratch his head.

The sect’s disciples are decreasing, but Mo Shulin has to find ways to dig out the list of disciples who’ll most likely win a place in for the secret realm.

Mo Shulin couldn’t fly with sword, so Bai Yuming had to carry him around. Bai Yuming was also afraid that his ten-year-old disciple would be bullied and abducted by kidnappers, so he could only follow his disciple to do market research without leaving any step.

Mo Shulin knew that Bai Yuming wanted to go back writing to make money, but they didn’t have much time left.

People who are in a hurry to cultivate, or those who’ll travel far, will leave home after the fifteenth day of the first month. Counting the journey back to the Liangji sect, at the end of January, these disciple would already returned to the sect.

February will be the peak of the small bazaar.

The secret realm will open in early March. The Liangji sect disciples in his previous life will depart on February 25th.

Fifteen days before the departure, the disciples who entered the list will definitely search for good things and buy life-saving items at a huge price.

Mo Shulin from his previous life knew that he had no hope of entering the secret realm, he also knew very little about this place. Now he needs to collect information related to the secret realm, then make some weapons that can be used inside the secret realm.

Bai Yuming is not as stubborn as other elders, he’s willing to make those high-level items for Jindan period cultivators to use.

Anything that sticks to life will become extremely expensive.

At that time, it’ll be rendered through auction, and there’s no need to worry about the price.

He can only blame himself for not paying attention to Yan Qianqian’s secret realm in his previous life, otherwise he doesn’t need to search for news everywhere.

The way to find out who might be on the list is very simple. Just go to some gambling shops, ask about the odds, and combine the memories of several more famous disciples in his previous life, then he can roughly select a group of disciples.

The rich are a minority after all.

According to the list of these rich and likely disciples, he can further inquire about their cultivation base, spiritual roots, preferred artifacts, etc, so as to know their preferred weapon types, then when he could make it, he’ll sell them in a targeted manner.

Coupled with the pressure of life and death in the secret realm, there’s no need to worry about things not being sold.

Although Bai Yuming followed Mo Shulin, the content of Mo Shulin’s questions was too subtle, so he didn’t even know that Mo Shulin was busy with such things.

Until the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Yuming clearly heard the news that Mo Shulin had specifically inquired a few special people.

Yan Qianqian, Gongsun Hanhan, Duanmu Jinyan, Yue Zhihan, Qiu Quanxiang, Jiao Jing…

Yan Qianqian is a genius with single fire roots, rich in appearance, background and strength.

Gongsun Hanhan is Yan Qianqian’s best friend, slightly worse than Yan Qianqian, but also a white, rich and beautiful girl.

Duanmu Jinyan is the protagonist who’ll cause trouble everywhere.

Yue Zhihan and the protagonist entered Liangji sect together, she’s an indispensable childhood sweetheart for the protagonist.

Qiu Quanxiang is the direct disciple of the Qiu family and the protagonist’s loyal brother.

Jiao Jing is the direct disciple of the Jiao family, a small villain used to be a stumbling block for the protagonist.

No matter what, these six people are big trouble.

Bai Yuming knew they couldn’t avoid fate, but why would Mo Shulin want to ask about them?

It’s not that Bai Yuming never thought of having a good relationship with the protagonist, but the protagonist’s father’s family were also destroyed by the demons. He hated the demon realm and had sworn to eliminate the demons in this world.

If Mo Shulin doesn’t enter the demonic path, then he can only live until a hundred years old during the Qi refining period. If he entered the demonic path, he can at least live longer and avenge the murder of his family.

There’s already a big gap, so there’s no choice.

On the night when Mo Shulin was inquiring about these big troubles, Bai Yuming dragged Mo Shulin to sit on the only broken chair in the cave, wanting to have a deep heart-to-heart talk with Mo Shulin.

“Little Shushu ah. I’ve observed the sky at night and found that Duanmu Jinyan is your natural enemy. He’ll bring you bad luck within one mile, so you have to stay away from him.” Bai Yuming persuaded bitterly.

Mo Shulin: “…”

If he hadn’t fought against Duanmu Jinyan in his previous life, he would almost believe Bai Yuming’s nonsense.
