Chapter 37: Seeking the Elixir

  "I said it was Zhou Tao, the young master, who instructed me to do so. Before he left, he told me that if nothing happened, I should come and harass you all. He also said that when he returns, he will personally come looking for you. I am also helpless, please let me go, Master Shi!" Jia Ren knelt down and begged for mercy.

  "Are you helpless? I think you've received benefits!" Shi said coldly: "Take out the compensation, and get out! Don't let me see you again in the future!"

  "Ah, ah, ah!" Jia Ren hastily nodded in gratitude and immediately flipped up his sleeve to reveal a money bag containing about five or six taels of silver, which was snatched away by Bai Ming.

  "Hmm, great Master Jia, you're only taking out this little bit of silver? It seems like you're not taking our boss very seriously?" said Bai Ming with a smile.

  Jian Ren's eyes twitched, and he patted his chest, pulling out a 10-tael silver note. In fact, even if you added up all the damaged things at Lin Wan'er's house, it wouldn't be worth more than one or two taels of silver. But now that they were under someone else's roof, they had no choice but to lower their heads.

  "Get out!" Shi Sheng didn't even give him a glance.

  Smiling, he pulled Lin Wan'er back into the house. Bai Ming then picked up the silver and, plucking up his courage, kicked Jia Ren out of the yard with one foot, but was clever enough not to disturb Shi Sheng's private world by entering the house.

  In the room, Lin Wan'er saw Shi Sheng's unusual happiness, but when Shi Sheng saw the half bowl of rice porridge, he frowned and felt a pang in his heart.

  "Wan'er, I've told you before that there's no need to be frugal at home. Why don't you eat some plain rice? Even if it's just a mantou, or make some small dishes yourself. Why are you still drinking thin porridge?" Shi Sheng said with some discontent.

  Lin Wan'er smiled and said carelessly: "Sister Wan is used to it, and she's too lazy to make those dishes, so drinking porridge is more convenient."

  Shi Sheng sighed and said, "How could I not know that Lin Wan'er is trying to save money? She's from a poor family and has been used to living a hard life since she was young. She has developed the habit of being frugal and thrifty. It's clear that Lin Wan'er can't bear to spend money."

  "Wan'er, what's wrong? Is there something else on your mind these days?" Shi Sheng felt that Lin Wan'er seemed to have some worries, and as long as it didn't involve cultivators, he should generally be able to handle it.

  "Asheng, you, did you go to someone else's house on the way?" Lin Wan'er asked a strange question.

  Shi Sheng rubbed his head: "I rushed back all the way to see Wan'er, where did I have time to go to someone else's house?"

  "Then who helped you change your clothes? They're still so clean?" Lin Wan'er was a woman after all, and she paid attention to details that some men didn't notice.

  "Huh? This is... " Shi Sheng suddenly discovered that his clothes were spotless, without even a footprint from Jia Ren.

  "Can this robe still have dust-repelling effects?" Shi Sheng said, wiping his sleeve on the table in the room, and the dust on the table was wiped clean. Looking at Shi Sheng's sleeve, it was spotless!

  "What...what kind of clothes are these?" Lin Wan'er stared with wide eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

  "Haha, the clothes sent by the sect are probably different from ordinary people's clothes. Don't think too much, Sister Wan'er, I'll come back to find you as soon as possible!" Shi Sheng didn't mention what happened on the road, so as not to worry Lin Wan'er.

  "I believe Ah Sheng's words, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook now!" Lin Wan'er said as she turned around and left. Before long, Bai Ming rushed in with the silver and placed it on the table.

  Shi Sheng glanced at Bai Ming, smiled and said: "It seems that you have helped Wan'er sister a lot during this period. Leave the 10 taels of silver ticket behind, take the remaining 5 or 6 taels of silver with you."

  "Thanks a lot, boss! I'll take off then!" White Ming didn't stand on ceremony either, and with a hearty laugh, he put away the money bag, which made Shi Sheng slightly stunned.

  "Stay and have a meal together, it won't be long before maybe I and Wan'er will leave this place!" Shi Sheng said with a serious face.

  "Is Lao Da leaving?" Bai Ming asked somewhat puzzled, Shi Sheng explained the general situation, and although Bai Ming was reluctant to part with him, he still wished him well.

  After the three of them finished eating, Bai Ming left, and Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er started chatting casually.

  "Wan'er, I'm leaving you outside, to be honest, I'm a bit worried. So this time, I'll take you back to the sect!" Shi Sheng had long been prepared for this and had decided to break through the Hua Hai realm outside. After returning to the sect, he would naturally arrange a separate residence, and could also recruit two ordinary disciples to manage the place.

  The only thing that's a bit difficult is that Lin Wan'er must also cultivate to the Wu Ling realm. The difficulty lies not only in whether Lin Wan'er has the qualifications for cultivation, but also requires the use of Kai Nian Dan. Shi Sheng had once tried asking Xiao Lao, but Xiao Lao said that the Ka Men Pai would not casually distribute it.

  "Can a sect allow ordinary people to enter and exit at will?" Lin Wan'er was somewhat puzzled.

  "Advancing to the Jue Ling realm is possible. Wanyu sister, I have a method for cultivating intent here. For these few days, don't do anything else and focus on cultivation."

  Once you can sense the spiritual energy, I will find a way to get you an Enlightenment Pill, and after you advance to the Spiritual Realm, I will also break through to the Sea of Consciousness Realm. At that time, I can take you back to the sect! Shi Sheng said with a faint smile.

  "This..." Lin Wan'er seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, as she had been tested and found to lack comprehension. However, looking at Shi Sheng's expectant gaze, Lin Wan'er still nodded firmly.

  "Alright, I will definitely work hard to cultivate!" Lin Wan'er said with a serious expression.

  "Alright, here's the meditation method, Sister Wan. You can try practicing it when you get back. I'll head to Wang Bo's place later, there are some things that need his help!" Shi Sheng handed Lin Wan a booklet, which was the meditation method distributed by their sect.

  "Alright, I'll go now!" Lin Wan'er also knew that there was no time to delay, so she took the booklet and left the room. Shi Sheng thought for a moment before leaving home to find Wang Bo.

  ……

  Wang Bo was at home with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. Suddenly, he heard a noise at the door and opened his eyes to see Shi Sheng standing there. A flash of insight appeared in his eyes, but he immediately smiled as if nothing had happened.

  "Has Shisheng returned? How was it? Is everything still going smoothly?" Wang Bo picked up his teacup and took a sip.

  Shi Sheng sat down opposite Wang Bo, nodding and saying: "It's all right, I've finally become a formal disciple after a smooth entry. I must thank you for taking care of me during this period, but I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Master Wang!"

  "Haha, you kid, speak directly and don't beat around the bush!" Wang Bo slowly put down his teacup and said with a smile.

  "All right, since Master Wang has said so, I will speak straightforwardly. I earnestly request that Master Wang lend a hand and help me refine an Enlightenment Pill!" Shi Sheng said with a serious expression.

  Wang Bo's eyes narrowed: "Kai Nian Dan? Do you think I would refine that kind of elixir?"

  Shi Sheng's mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile: "I believe that a master who can refine the 'Jade Bone Pill' must also be able to refine the Open Mind Pill. What do you think, Wang Bo?" As soon as Shi Sheng finished speaking, Wang Bo's pupils suddenly constricted! (End of this chapter, next chapter is even more exciting!)
