Chapter 66: Terrible Thoughts

The fake customer had never seen such buyer, and under the stall owner’s hint, he placed the iron piece down and slipped away.

Mo Shulin smiled as he watched the fake customer go, and thought of taking a look at the stall next door.

But the stall owner isn’t willing to let Mo Shulin go. The muddy iron piece was originally a piece of waste, and it has been on the stall for a long time. There’s finally a fool who wants to buy it now, so taking advantage of the fact that there are no other customers in the stall, he needs to say something so Mo Shulin would want to buy it.

“Junior Brother, you can see that he doesn’t want it anymore, I’ll lower the price, how about selling it to you at thirty?” The stall owner wanted to stuff the muddy iron piece into Mo Shulin’s hand after he spoke.

“It’s very not good.” Mo Shulin naturally refused to accept it, avoiding the stall owner’s hand and wanted to leave with Bai Yuming.

“Hey, if you want, twenty is also fine.” The stall owner said in a hurry.

Mo Shulin ignored it, taking Bai Yuming to the stall next door to look at other items.

“Ten low-grade spirit stones?” The stall owner was persevering, leaned his head and still asked, seeing Mo Shulin’s unchanged expression, he lowered the price again, “Five, five. Can’t be reduced anymore. Looking at Junior Brother who’s pleasing to the eyes, I’ll sell you at a loss today.”

For the current Mo Shulin, these five low-grade spirit stones are really nothing.

“Can I buy it?” Mo Shulin asked Bai Yuming.

“You can buy it if you want.” Bai Yuming was puzzled.

“But I don’t know if I should buy it.” There’s something in Mo Shulin’s words, but he didn’t say more.

Bai Yuming felt that Mo Shulin is secretly calculating something in his heart. He didn’t dare to talk too much, so he changed his way of speaking, “If buying this thing makes you happy, then you buy it.”

Mo Shulin was silent for a moment, nodded, and said to the stall owner: “Five, plus that small box, you have to help me put it in.”

Bai Yuming saw the wooden mechanical box specified by Mo Shulin, raised his eyebrows, and didn’t understand why Mo Shulin wanted this thing. This wooden mechanical box needs to be opened with twenty iron locks first, then after adjusting the wooden mechanism on the box a little bit, it can finally be opened.

The stall owner glanced at the small box used by ordinary mortals, but didn’t see any problem with it.

This mechanical box is a small box that mortals will find difficult to open, but very easy for cultivators to open it using force.

The iron piece got picked up, the mechanical box is worthless, but Mo Shulin find it a bit troublesome to put the item in. The stall owner thought about it for a while, and loading items in didn’t affect the sales, it’s also a good deal to make a net profit of five low-grade spirit stones with his hands.

“Sure. Seeing Junior Brother who sincerely wants it, I’ll sell it to you.” As the stall owner speak, he placed the iron piece into the mechanical box that had been opened. Mechanical components are the opportunistic way for outer disciples to survive, so they’re naturally very good at doing the work of these mechanical boxes switchgear.

“Senior brother, wait, put this in too.” Mo Shulin drew out a talisman and handed it to the stall owner.

That’s the talisman that will automatically detonates and destroys the items if the mechanical box is forcibly opened with external force.

Bai Yuming became more and more unable to understand Mo Shulin.

“Add another one. Just to be safe.” Mo Shulin drew another talisman.

This talisman is immune to all low-level spells.

The stall owner has no doubt against him, it doesn’t matter what Mo Shulin puts in it, he can receive the spirit stones anyway.

It took a quarter of an hour for the stall owner to install these things. I’m afraid that it’ll take longer to dismantle. If someone is unfamiliar with the mechanism, it’s worrying because it’ll take longer to disassemble.

Mo Shulin shook the box, his heart is full of elation.

Bai Yuming felt the overflowing joy when he walked by Mo Shulin’s side.

When he walked out of the small bazaar and walked to the frozen lake, Bai Yuming finally couldn’t help but asked, “Why did you buy it?”

“This makes me happy ah.” Mo Shulin smiled.

Then in Bai Yuming’s startled gaze, Mo Shulin used a spell to chip away the ice, and threw the mechanical box that had been bought with a total of five low-grade spirit stones into the lake.

Bai Yuming: “…”

This? Thrown away?

Bai Yuming stares at the sinking mechanical box and couldn’t believe what was happening before him.

“Hm?” Mo Shulin raised his eyebrows, as if waiting for Bai Yuming to continue asking him.

“…It’s good if you’re happy.” Bai Yuming didn’t understand Mo Shulin’s logic at all, but Mo Shulin was indeed in a good mood.

Maybe this is a special way of venting?

“I’m naturally happy. I’ve disguised myself, and no one knew that I had thrown it away.” Mo Shulin seemed to have done a great and enjoyable thing, and he was so happy that his pace was a lot lighter.

Bai Yuming felt that it’s weird from every aspect, until the two of them strolled to the trial tower, Bai Yuming didn’t want to understand it.

The trial tower is a hundred floor high, towering into the clouds, straight into the sky.

This is a high tower specially built for inner and outer disciples. The disciples in Liangji sect will be rewarded every time they pass a floor. It can also be regarded as one of the outer disciple’s source of income.

Looking up from the bottom of the tower, the trial tower is even more majestic.

Bai Yuming views the tower in front of him, but he didn’t expect that he would still have the opportunity to come here. He always thought he had missed his chance with the trial tower.

Mo Shulin pointed to the trial tower first floor and said to Bai Yuming: “I used to be able to go up to the seventh floor. I could only get some talisman materials, but there’s days when I can earn ten low-grade spirit stones in a month.”

What Mo Shulin talked about was his previous life.

Compared to the several low-grade spirit stone profits from a random visitor at a stall, Mo Shulin’s ten low-grade spirit stones a month is already pitiful.

But that’s the life of the bottom disciples.

He’s like this, Ba Shurong is also like this, and every single one of outer disciples are like this. In order to get a little bit of the spirit stone, they need to get up and work in the dark day and night.

Their cultivation speed is inherently slower than others, and it takes a lot of time to earn cultivation resources, so they’re even more unable to keep up, becoming a true bottom cultivator over time.

“I don’t know where I can go in this life.” Mo Shulin is a bit embarrassed, but he can’t help to get excited for a few minutes.

He not only wanted to climb the tower, but also wanted to tell himself that he’s changing his destiny little by little.

Compared with the previous life, his spirit root is preserved better, he has the memory of him fighting in his previous life, and he became stronger. He can reach higher places and achieve greater goals.

“Then let’s try it.” Bai Yuming also wanted to know where he could go. He’s in Mahayana period right now, He can also reach the 90th level, right?

Mo Shulin suddenly became embarrassed, “Elders can’t enter.”

Their appearances can be disguised, but their waist tokens can’t. If someone wants to enter the tower, they have to use their waist token. Bai Yuming is destined to not being able to enter.

“Does this count as discrimination based on cultivation?” Bai Yuming wasn’t convinced, and he thought, “Then can I borrow your waist token to get in?”

Mo Shulin refused without thinking, “Not allowed. You need to hold your waist token to confirm your identity in every ten passes. If you receive a reward inside, you’ll also need to show your waist token.”

The waist token has been injected with the disciple’s spiritual energy from the beginning. If it’s driven by another spiritual energy, the waist token will become unusable.

“Being invincible is really lonely.” Bai Yuming sighed.

Mo Shulin: “…”

He wanted to refute Bai Yuming’s words, but he remembered Bai Yuming’s Great Perfection cultivation in the Mahayana period. He has to admit that Bai Yuming can claim to be invincible.

How could there be a rabbit as strong, narcissistic and fat like Bai Yuming in this world?

“You go in. I’ll be waiting for you here.” Bai Yuming glanced around and found that there’s a sign next to it, with each rewards written from every floors.

There are a hundred floors in the trial tower. But you can only obtain the rewards in the highest floor for each pass. Once someone got the reward, they have to leave. If they don’t, they’ll continue to the next floor until they’re forced to leave the tower. This greatly reduced the number of disciples who relied on the tower to make money and resell the rewards, maintaining the price balance in Liangji sect.

“I’ll come again next time.” How could Mo Shulin let Bai Yuming wait here.

“How long can you be in those seven floors.” Bai Yuming waved his hand and quickly sent Mo Shulin in, walked to the front of the sign.

Seeing Mo Shulin still next to him, Bai Yuming said, “Go, you’ll be out after I read the reward list.”

Mo Shulin: “…”

He feels that he’s being severely despised by Bai Yuming. The severity of this contempt is second only to men who can only last for a quarter of an hour when doing certain things.

“Then I’m going in.” Mo Shulin was a little suffocated.

He sighed and wanted to prove that he could exceed seven floors this time.

After watching Mo Shulin enter the tower, Bai Yuming suddenly remembered the thing about the mechanical box just now.

Isn’t the muddy iron piece is Duanmu Jinyan’s thing?

That iron piece is said to be a good item that can consolidate Yan Yaozi’s soul. In order to make Yan Yaozi’s soul to be more stable, Duanmu Jinyan would definitely search for the iron piece.

Mo Shulin unexpectedly placed talismans on the protagonist’s thing, locked it in a box, and threw it into the lake?

In this big winter, does the protagonist want to go fishing in the lake?

And he still has to solve those trivialities.

The stall owner knew that any skills would have to be shut down for a quarter of an hour, and Duanmu Jinyan can’t use spells on the mechanical box, will he be afraid of being driven crazy by the mechanical box?

Bai Yuming suddenly realized that villains still has the characteristics of a villain.

Mo Shulin is very stingy and will square his accounts in every detail.

He made Mo Shulin angry just now. Will Mo Shulin not retaliate back in the future?

Thinking about it seriously, Bai Yuming felt that he hadn’t mocked Mo Shulin, nor ever said that Mo Shulin’s time is short.

Bai Yuming couldn’t think of anything else, so he just didn’t think.

Looking back on the sign, Bai Yuming saw a bit of the trial tower clearance rewards. The rewards in the front are almost the same as rubbish, but the more they go to the back, the more luxurious the rewards will be. Especially the items that are given in the last few floors.

Sure enough, no matter where it is, strength is the most stable currency.

However, the trial tower design itself is unreasonable, and the difficulty of the last twenty floors has reached the Fit period. One can become Liangji sect elder in the Fit period. Bai Yuming was forbidden to enter because he held the elder’s waist token.

The disciples need to use the cultivation base in Distraction period to fight against the copy of the Fit period. These last twenty levels are clearly embarrassing others.

Bai Yuming has no material desires, and no matter how fancy the sign is written, he has no interest.

There’s a great surge of formation for a while at the gate of the trial tower, and Bai Yuming suddenly looked over.

It wasn’t Mo Shulin, but an outer disciple holding a wounded wolf cub. Although his pet is injured, his face was full of spring breeze. The woman who was standing next to Bai Yuming saw it and hurries to walked over.

“Brother Agang, how about it? What floor?” The woman smiled when she knew that Brother Agang must’ve achieved good results.

“Sister Fang, look, which floor is this.” Brother Agang didn’t announce it directly, but took out a slap-sized blue stone.

“This?” Sister Fang couldn’t believe it when she first saw it.

She stares at the stone in Agang’s hand, then looked at the sign, and was shocked: “My goodness. Agang, you actually reached the thirty-sixth floor. That’s amazing!”

Agang was happily praised, the corners of the mouth almost reached the back of his head.

The two laughed for a while, walked to Bai Yuming’s side, and chatted over the sign.

“Now the wolf cub can reach the thirty-sixth floor when it’s young, and when the wolf cub is a little bigger, it may be able to reach the thirty-eighth floor.” Agang pointed to the sign rewards, looking forward to a bright future.

“Ah, Brother Agang, we can first climb to the twentieth floor from tomorrow and apply spirit water to strengthen the wolf pup. When the wolf pup is raised, we can challenge higher floor.” Sister Fang said with excitement.

“Sister Fang is really smart. We’ll get the spirit water tomorrow.” Brother Agang’s eyes are full of love.

Bai Yuming was very moved when he saw the emotions between little lovers.

Speaking of which, he has never been in a relationship in his previous life. He has been in this life for so long, yet he’s still an otaku. But he’s a rabbit, he can’t always find a female rabbit, right?

Inexplicably, his mind thought of the bed, the black chain around his ankle, and the Demon Lord who leaned over and pressed against him…

Bai Yuming was immediately frightened.

How could he have such terrible thoughts in his head? !
