Chapter 64: A Good Master

Mo Shulin went to Biqing Peak, handed in the previous task, and received a new task.

After Yu Haofan inspected the quality of the items, he admired: “It’s Junior Brother Mo’s good craftsmanship ah. I’m afraid I can’t pick a better quality than Junior Brother Mo in this same period.”

Mo Shulin smiled and thanked him, but attributed all the credit to Bai Yuming, saying that Bai Yuming teaches him well.

There’s so many novice craftsmanship in Liangji sect, and only the master has the possibility to teach this.

“Junior Brother Mo found a good master.” Yu Haofan was really envious.

Apprenticeship is similar to entering a profession, a master can influence a disciple’s life.

With Mo Shulin’s injured spirit roots, this person’s life can be said to be over. The best fate for such disciple is to leave Liangji sect in adulthood, got married, have two children, and hope that the children can fulfill their father’s long-cherished wish.

However, after Mo Shulin met a good master like Bai Yuming, his life was more comfortable than many inner disciples.

Yu Haofan naturally had better spirit roots than Mo Shulin and higher cultivation base than Mo Shulin, but his luck wasn’t as good as Mo Shulin.

What Yu Haofan didn’t know was that Mo Shulin’s spirit root were far worse than he thought. A disciple whose spirit root are entangled by demonic energy wants to go down the mountain and have one’s own biological child, must first go to the law enforcement hall to completely abolish the spirit roots.

Liangji sect hasn’t abolished Mo Shulin’s spirit root, merely to give Mo Shulin a little bit of hope. In order to survive in Liangji sect, Mo Shulin will continue to take out magic weapons in his storage bag in exchange for resources to survive.

Fortunately, Mo Shulin’s luck in this life is really good. Not only he doesn’t need to empty his storage bags, but he also has such a good master, earning a middle-grade spirit stone every month.

“My master is naturally the best.” Mo Shulin acknowledged with no misgiving, not forgetting to cater him, “Elder Shangguan is the youngest main peak elder since the creation of the sect. Brother Yu also worshiped a good master.”

“It’s also true. Junior Brother Mo is keen and has reminded me.” Yu Haofan realized that he was confused just now.

After seeing Bai Yuming’s patient teaching to Mo Shulin, he forgot that Shangguan Zhuqing had a brighter future than Bai Yuming.

Yu Haofan is ambitious, so naturally he doesn’t want to follow that poor and honest Bai Yuming who never touched vulgar things.

After counting the new materials and spirit stones, Mo Shulin was about to say goodbye.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a man in his thirties running in a hurry.

The man has already cultivated in the middle and late stages of foundation building period. Among those in Liangji sect, when someone is only in the middle and late stages of foundation building period in their thirties, it’s definitely the bottom group of disciples.

But looking at the man’s sallow complexion, deep wrinkles on the corner of his eyes, rough hands, and serious wear and tear on the clothes, Mo Shulin initially judged that this man worked all the year round, didn’t spend much time on cultivation, and was often tortured in the sect.

Mo Shulin had a hard time at the outer sect in his previous life.

This is how the world is, where strength is respected.

If you want to live a good life, you have to possess a special ability that others can’t do. Mo Shulin’s capability to receive the five thunder talismans task is his special ability.

The man ran next to Yu Haofan, before he can catch his breath, he said, “Brother Yu, I’m really sorry.”

“Junior Brother Ba, don’t worry. But are the materials a bit worse? It’s also okay if it’s in poor quality, I have more to come out. Junior Brother Mo is very powerful ah, with a hundred percent success rate.” Although Yu Haofan had said it like this, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Liangji sect tasks allows a certain amount of loss, the lower the loss rate, the more he can earn. But Ba Shurong is an honest and capable man, and Yu Haofan doesn’t want to have any contradictions between them. He has to rely on Ba Shurong to make money for him.

When Ba Shurong saw Mo Shulin standing by, he was shocked in his heart. It’s just that he’s quick to converge his emotions, wrinkled his face, and awkwardly took out the five thunder talismans materials.

The task back then is still the same as what it is now. It haven’t moved at all.

“Junior Brother Ba, this is?” Yu Haofan’s face suddenly became cold.

He took the task and didn’t work on it, wasting his time. This isn’t very appropriate.

Ba Shurong took out seven low-grade spirit stones with a face full of apology, “I’m so sorry. Brother Yu, this is my courtesy, I only have this bit now. Please forgive me, Brother Yu. This is my fault. I’m really sorry.”

Yu Haofan’s complexion improved a bit when he saw those spirit stones.

Yu Haofan knew how poor Ba Shurong was. Ba Shurong also took out seven low-grade spirit stones to apologize, which shows that Ba Shurong is apologizing sincerely.

“I’ll write down this apology. But Junior Brother Ba just take this spirit stones back. I just want to know, Junior Brother Ba has been doing well and always punctual when completing tasks. Why does this happen all of a sudden? Is there something unspeakable?” Yu Haofan returned the spirit stones and accepted the materials.

Facing Yu Haofan’s understanding, Ba Shurong was immediately moved.

Looking at this scene, Mo Shulin felt a little bit calculation in his heart.

It’s not difficult for him to guess Yu Haofan’s actions. Yu Haofan and Ba Shurong have some friendships, and whether this spirit stone can be collected or not, it all depends on the mood. But in order to show the appearance of a good employer in front of Mo Shulin, the scales in Yu Haofan’s heart is more inclined to not accept one. Using seven low-grade spirit stones to buy a disciple’s true heart who has a Mahayana master, this transaction is very cost-effective.

In addition, there’s a vague and illusory valuable item in this world that may be worth a thousand catties of gold——information.

Yu Haofan’s seemingly random question was actually inquiring about Ba Shurong’s living area.

Shangguan Zhuqing accepted so many disciples, and his network of connections spreads from across the upper, middle and lower statuses. The news that every disciple knows is intertwined, covering at least 70% of Liangji sect.

One can imagine how well Shangguan Zhuqing’s information is.

“It’s not too unspeakable, it’s the secret realm.” Ba Shurong scratched his head and sighed.

“Oh yes ah. Junior Brother Ba heart should be at ease, practice hard, and try to strive for the 21 places.” Yu Haofan was so mad that he almost wanted to leave.

If Ba Shurong wants to compete, he shouldn’t have taken his task and waste his time.

He’s just a young man in his early twenties, and he dared to take risks such as picking up tasks and goes missing, it’s somewhat young and frivolous.

“I’ve been confused about it.” Ba Shurong didn’t see Yu Haofan’s rage at all, sighed, “I’m going to participate in the competition.”

“Oh?” Yu Haofan pressed down his anger a little.

Ba Shurong was also uncomfortable, he unconsciously complained a little bit in his tone, “If it’s not because of the seniors in Jindan period, they gave us all the work in order to have more time to train their martial arts.”

Because of his poverty, Ba Shurong originally arranged his schedule to be full. All the time was spent doing work on the peak, so naturally there’s no time to do Yu Haofan’s task.

“I wanted to tell Brother Yu two days earlier, but I really can’t go. It happened that today, the master just walked to my place, and the kind Junior Brother suddenly took over my class, so I had time to come over and talk to Brother Yu.” Ba Shurong said a few more times to apologize, then hurried to trot away.

When Ba Shurong disappeared, Yu Haofan sighed.

Both he and Mo Shulin understood the other meanings in Ba Shurong’s words. What sudden kindness from the Junior Brother in Ba Shurong’s mouth, was just honestly bullying Ba Shurong and took away Ba Shurong’s chance to behave in front of the master.

Not to mention that Ba Shurong is like that, on Biqing Peak, it’s just a superficial apperance of brother and sisters, while the dark tide is raging behind the scenes.

After a while, Yu Haofan sighed again, “Junior Brother Mo, you have a good master.”

“Naturally. My master treats me the best. Shangguan Peak Master is also an excellent master, and Brother Yu also has a good master.” Mo Shulin wasn’t at all vague, he admitted very frankly that Bai Yuming was kind to him.

Yuexue Peak is indeed not as prosperous as Biqing Peak, and the poor and honest Bai Yuming is indeed not as rich as Shangguan Zhuqing.

But Bai Yuming treats him well and sincerely gets along with him, which is more precious than anything in the world.

As for the latter sentence, Mo Shulin just didn’t let Yu Haofan felt uncomfortable after flattering him.

“Speaking of it, it has been a while since Elder Bai reached the Mahayana period.” Yu Haofan thought of something and couldn’t help but to inquire.

Mo Shulin smiled, “Indeed.”

Without waiting for Yu Haofan to continue, Mo Shulin said in a convenient way: “Brother Yu, Brother Ba returned the materials just now, should Brother Yu do it himself or do you need to find someone to pick it up?”

Yu Haofan was interrupted by what he wanted to say, he stares at Mo Shulin with a little suspicion.

But Mo Shulin’s immature face was full of magnanimousness, and his dark eyes were full of sincerity, as if he doesn’t seem to know what he wanted to inquire.

Yu Haofan can only push the question in his heart down, first solve the matter in front of him, “Naturally I have to find someone to do it. Junior Brother Mo can also see Junior Brother Ba’s situation. I’m also too busy here. Does Junior Brother Mo want to receive this material?”

“Yes.” Mo Shulin said, “As long as the work received today is postponed for a while, these five thunder talismans will be no problem.”

Yu Haofan calculated the time and think that it’s really okay. Right now, the bottom disciples in the whole sect are busy participating in the competition, and doesn’t have the mind to help him.

After thinking about it, he realizes that it’s the best choice for Mo Shulin to take this order.

Yu Haofan didn’t hesitate, and immediately decided to hand it over to Mo Shulin.

After Mo Shulin got the materials, Yu Haofan didn’t have much free time, so he could only rest his original thoughts and hurried to change shifts.

Mo Shulin bought food for Bai Yuming before slowly walking back to Yuexue Peak.

The setting sun was still on the horizon, and the snow is dyed with orange tint. There are no passerby on this road, only the elongated diagonal shadow is moving foward with him.

The picture is lonely and bleak, but Mo Shulin’s heart is filled with hope for life.

Mo Shulin compiled the information he received from Biqing Peak today.

What happened to Ba Shurong isn’t surprising. The disciples in the inner sect squeeze each other, whenever there’s a slight possibility of contention, the disciples in the sect will swarm like a crowd of ants.

Mo Shulin, a disciple who couldn’t fight, also benefited from this. He’s at the outer sect at the time, it’s important to look after things, and whoever has the job has to do it, unlike Ba Shurong who’s being oppressed. Because he didn’t participate in the competition, he had become Liangji sect’s weapon pawnshop instead, picking up a lot of opportunities, and catching up with a master tasker like Yu Haofan.

In this life, because of Bai Yuming, Mo Shulin’s days are extremely comfortable.

Thinking of Yu Haofan’s inquiry about Bai Yuming, Mo Shulin’s eyes darkened.

Bai Yuming has indeed completed Mahayana period for some time.

This is no secret.

Liangji sect has a rule to encourage disciples to be promoted. Once the cultivation base reached the Fit period, they can become an elder in Liangji sect. And whoever cultivation base reaches tribulation period is the Supreme Elder.

Although Supreme Elder has no real power, it’s status is the existence above the head.

How many powers who’s in tribulation period are there in the entire cultivator continent?

Even if Liangji sect is one of the three large sects, Mo Shulin only knew that there are two cultivators who crossed the tribulation period.

If Bai Yuming isn’t lucky, it’s possible to get stuck in Mahayana period for hundreds of thousands of years. But once Bai Yuming had a breakthrough during Mo Shulin’s lifetime, he’ll become the Supreme Elder. At the same time, Mo Shulin’s identity as an inner disciple, couldn’t be talked about in a same way.

He did have incomparable luck in this life to meet a good master like Bai Yuming.

Therefore, how could he bear the heart to let himself become Bai Yuming’s inner demon catastrophe.

Mo Shulin had always known that Bai Yuming has a lot of psychological pressure being his master. Bai Yuming always hides his worries, afraid that he’ll teach a murderous Demon Lord and didn’t dare to get too close with him.

Now that he knows he’ll live for a lifetime, he has his own concept of right and wrong, taken the initiative to break away from the master-disciple relationship. And Feiyun Valley that got destroyed again, is also to inform Bai Yuming that his future had long been doomed by the heaven and has nothing to do with Bai Yuming’s teachings.

When he encountered an inner demon in the future, Bai Yuming will be able to raise his head and told the inner demon that Mo Shulin has entered the demonic path, so he won’t be ashamed of his own conscience.

Bai Yuming has treated him so well, how could he let Bai Yuming tread into the whirlpool of guilt step by step.

Before the last setting sun afterglow sets, Mo Shulin managed to climb back to the yellow muddy cave.

The fragrance from the cave refreshed Mo Shulin, and his fatigue disappeared.

Pushing open the wooden door with the New Year picture of a rabbit, he saw a chubby rabbit floating on the air, using a spell to control the long spoon to stir the red soup.

Seeing Mo Shulin’s return, the fat rabbit suddenly raised a smile, “Little Shushu is back, let’s have hot pot tonight, can you eat spicy food?”

Mo Shulin’s heart warmed, “Eat.”

“Okay.” The fat rabbit sprinkled a bunch of chili peppers in while he’s talking. After sprinkling, he came back to his senses, “That’s not right. You’re still a kid, what kind of spicy food you can eat. What if you have a diarrhea after eating.”

Mo Shulin also remembered the shame in Lifeng City, and felt really helpless.

“I’ll get you a small pot of clear soup.” The fat rabbit pulled out another pot from the storage bag and added the soup ingredients.

Mo Shulin remembered everything he had encountered today, and couldn’t help but to seriously said: “Thank you, Master.”

The fat rabbit saw the spicy duck head, pickled radish, and braised chicken feet that Mo Shulin took out, and said with a sincere tone: “Ai, good disciple.”

His family Bai Yuming is the best in the world.

His family Mo Shulin is the best in the world.

The author has something to say: Regarding the question about master and disciple relationship. Ang, I know that some little angels want to see the plot that breaks taboos, regardless of everything, even if the other party has any identity, they must be together in life and death. Looking at the background data, you know that there have been many little angels who are silently reading the book recently.

But this is a sweet pet essay, not a sadomasochistic relationship.

I wanted to wait until entering the secret realm to mention inner demons, but I still added the reason into this chapter first. The tribulation period was set up privately, so I won’t mention more for the time being.

There’ll be ups and downs, but it’ll be about experiencing the wind and waves of the outside world together, not the internal conflict between the two quarreling. If the wind and rain of life are all brought by the spouse, this kind of man should be kicked down.

Some master and disciple plots will also be written, only the kind that couples play around, not really sadomasochistic.

The text will be set daily, relaxing, sweet text, letting the little angel see that the end is my biggest pursuit. Rather than an exciting full text, when it got revised, there’ll be plot abuse being found everywhere, with no way to speak.

I’m sorry I can’t write a book that every little angel likes to read. Each book has it’s own setting. Adding spiciness when eating sweet is another taste.

Thank you very much for every little angel who stayed.

I also wish the little angels who left can find the book they want to read.

Oh~~~

Love you~~
