The two of them embraced each other for a while, but eventually, they reluctantly let go of each other. Chen Lu then said, "Tonight, come find me after I've finished competing with Ouyang Yuqing."

Shi Ling nodded his head in acknowledgement, indicating that he already knew. At this moment, the two stood up and left, and Chen Lu did not turn around after taking one step back. She stared blankly at Shi Ling's disappearing back, and her expression showed that she was slightly disappointed.

Walking on a quiet path, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly appeared and asked: "What happened between you and that girl? I think she's rather interested in you, but I feel like you're always ignoring her. "

Shi Ling shook his head helplessly and said, "The distance between her and I has already grown a lot. Plus, her rate of growth isn't slower than me, I'm thinking that one day, she might feel that I'm no longer worthy of her and then be abandoned by her."

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "From this, you can tell that you still care about her, but it's because she abandoned you at your lowest moment, causing you to feel a little against her. So, your feelings for her are as clear as day."

Shi Ling didn't comment. He couldn't tell what it was like, but Bai Xiaosheng smiled confidently and said, "With me here, you're still worried that you won't be able to surpass her?"

When Shi Ling heard this, he was stunned. He glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "With your help, my cultivation speed will indeed increase. But, what if you're not around anymore? Then wouldn't I be finished?"

Bai Xiaosheng lightly shook his head and said, "There are a lot of things that have to be learned according to the person. If there comes a day when I'm gone, you won't stop walking because of that, and my appearance is just to let you go faster, in essence, I don't have much of an impact on you.

Shi Ling, however, was noncommittal. Like Bai Xiaosheng had said, Bai Xiaosheng had ignored most of the unexpected incidents since Bai Xiaosheng started training with Shi Ling. He basically left Shi Ling to deal with them alone.

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "In this world, there are four kinds of people. The first kind of people are not ambitious, they don't have the ability, so they are destined to be unable to accomplish anything in their entire lives. The second type of people are ambitious, incapable, and full of ambition, but they end up being unable to accomplish anything in the end; the third type of people, without ambition and strength, are destined to spend their lives toiling for others. The fourth type …"

When Bai Xiaosheng said this, he paused for a moment and looked at Shi Ling, Shi Ling lowered his head in silence, Bai Xiaosheng continued, "No matter what kind of desperate situation they are in, they won't want to be restricted by others. They will constantly think of ways to break free from the shackles on their bodies, and will always advance towards the goal that they have set for themselves! "Even if the road ahead is bumpy, I still won't stop walking."

When Shi Ling heard this, his footsteps stopped. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and met his gaze. "What do you want to say?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "If you were the first person, then I wouldn't be by your side. If you were the second person, then I wouldn't be able to help you in any way. If you were the third type, then I wouldn't teach you too much, because teaching you would be useless."

Shi Ling continued walking and said, "You mean I belong to the fourth kind of people?"

Bai Xiaosheng replied with an irrelevant answer, "Will you be willing to stay at the bottom of the cultivation world for your entire life?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "No."

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "Do you work hard to cultivate and become stronger so that you can be loyal to others?"

Shi Ling clenched his fists and said, "No!"

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, you understand now. I don't need to say anything more."

As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng took the lead and flew out. Shi Ling, however, tightly frowned in response to this. What Bai Xiaosheng said to him just now made him somewhat confused.

However, he still walked with Bai Xiaosheng.

"..."

The two of them then went inside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. According to Bai Xiaosheng's request, Shi Ling bought a beast bag and a few Flame Crystal Stone, because Wu Tie's waist bag could still be considered as stock, they bought over a hundred of it in one go. Although it was the lowest grade of Scarlet Flame Crystals, it was enough for the egg.

After buying all the necessary things, Shi Ling would of course need to replenish his cultivation resources. For Wishing Spirit Bead s, of course he would need to buy more, and Stellar Source Fruit s as well.

However, after spending the money this time, Shi Ling's pocket went flat again. From the initial 7900 gold coins, it shrunk to only 4400 gold coins. The money Shi Ling spent was a pain in the ass, but as long as he could raise his strength a little, all these things were worth it.

Very quickly, Shi Ling returned to his room. He immediately took out the egg from the Heart Ring and placed it on the table. Then, he took out a few prismatic crystals that were the size of a thumb.

Shi Ling tilted his head and looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "How do I use it?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "Cast the spell and lift the egg into the air. Throw the Scarlet Flame Crystal onto the egg and let it directly burn."

Shi Ling's eyes couldn't help but twitch as he said, "If that's the case, will this egg be cooked?"

Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and said, "If the egg is cooked, then burn me as well, okay?"

Shi Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not questioning your words. I'm just a little worried about the egg's endurance."

After that, Shi Ling looked at the egg. He picked it up with both hands and released some mana from his palms, slowly lifting the egg up into the air. Shi Ling then took the Scarlet Flame Crystal from the table and threw it towards the egg.

The next moment, the scarlet crystal turned into a ball of flame the moment it touched the egg shell, instantly wrapping the egg up. At that moment, the temperature in Shi Ling's room suddenly rose, Shi Ling's head shifted backwards, increasing the output of his mana, controlling the egg to float a bit higher, trying to stay as far away from him as possible. This thing's temperature is really not low, if someone gets infected, they would probably be instantly burnt to death.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the burning flame, causing the beast imprint on it to gradually appear, as if it was carved on it, making it appear vivid and lifelike. Shi Ling's gaze also looked over at the figure drawn on it, and he could already be sure that it was a 'maggot'.

He immediately heard Bai Xiaosheng say: "In the following month, at this time every day, burn them with Flame Crystal Stone, for at least two hours every day. The first ten days use the lowest level of Scarlet Flame Crystals, the middle ten days use the higher level of Beast Fire Crystals, and the last ten days use Blue Flame Crystals. Remember, not even one day is broken!"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke very casually, but Shi Ling's eyelids jumped when he heard it, and he looked at the egg. Although a single Flame Crystal Stone was very resistant to burning, it was only enough to burn for a quarter-hour at most, and in two hours, there was a total of eighty-five hours. In other words, Shi Ling had to consume at least eight Flame Crystal Stone per day.

Ten gold coins per piece of Scarlet Flame Crystal would only be equivalent to eighty gold coins per day, but the key point was that ten days worth of Beast Flame Crystals was one hundred gold coins per piece, which was equivalent to the consumption of eight hundred gold coins per day. Furthermore, ten days worth of Blue Flame Crystals was one thousand gold coins per piece, which was equivalent to the consumption of eight thousand gold coins per day!

This was f * cking burning eggs, this was simply burning money!

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng could see what Shi Ling was thinking. He immediately smiled and said, "I've already warned you before that wanting a Spiritual Beast mount is going to be very troublesome. Moreover, I've let you choose …"

Shi Ling knew he was going to start nagging again, so he raised his hand and said, "Alright, I got it. I chose this path myself, I'm going to finish it even if I kneel."

Bai Xiaosheng knew that after Shi Ling understood, he smiled and nodded his head, but he heard Shi Ling laugh bitterly again, saying: "They use Flame Crystal Stone s to refine medicine, to refine equipment, and to refine talismans. Only I use them to refine eggs!"

Shi Ling didn't even dare to imagine what other people would think of him now that they know what he was doing. They might think he had no place to spend his money.

At this time, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Young people don't have to despair, because this is only the beginning. In the future, there will be a lot of places to burn money, so you should prepare yourself."

Saying that, he flew out of the room and went out to bask in the sun, leaving Shi Ling, who was sitting on the spot, with a pained expression.

"..."

Inside the Garden Pavilion, in a remote corridor, Lin Yue pulled Xu Qing to the side and said: "Xu Qing, have you gone mad! Why did you have to kiss Shi Ling in front of that idiot Qiu Zhiyun? "

At this time, Xu Qing said indifferently, "What's wrong? Didn't you tell me to fulfill the bet? Now that I've done it, you're blaming me? "

Lin Yue said with a hint of regret, "But I didn't ask you to kiss Shi Ling in front of Qiu Zhiyun, that idiot. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Shi Ling?"

However, Xu Qing curled her lips and said, "That's a matter between men. What does it have to do with me? Isn't Shi Ling awesome?" Wasn't it possible for him to complete a thousand gold level mission on his own? What? Is there no other way to deal with Qiu Zhiyun now? "

Lin Yue didn't know what to say anymore. However, Xu Qing narrowed her eyes and stared straight at Lin Yue with a smile, "Is there something else that makes me feel weird?" "Why are you suddenly so concerned about him?"

Saying that, Xu Qing let out a meaningful smile. Lin Yue's face immediately turned as red as a small apple, and said embarrassedly and angrily: "Aiya, what are you saying? Who would like that silly kid, Shi Ling! "

However, Xu Qing blinked her beautiful big eyes and said in surprise, "I didn't say who it is, nor do I say you like him."

Lin Yue's face turned even redder as she laughed sinisterly, "Are you admitting it now?"

Lin Yue immediately turned angry from embarrassment, and said to Xu Qing with a flurry of punches, "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to speak carelessly! Otherwise, I'll ignore you from now on! "

Xu Qing quickly waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, alright. I won't go against him in the future, okay?"

Lin Yue immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her head to the side as if saying, "I'm not going to care about you anymore." Xu Qing seemed to be really angry when she saw this little girl, so she immediately hugged her from behind, putting her arms around her waist and leaning her head on Lin Yue's shoulder.

"Idiot, do you think something will happen to that fool? Just with Qiu Zhiyun, that idiot, if he wanted to deal with Shi Ling, he would only be covered in dirt and grime. Unless he called the heaven's pride experts from Qiu Family together to deal with Shi Ling, then with such a huge Spirit Sword Sect, dealing with him would not be an easy matter! Plus, I will also help Shi Ling. At that time, no matter how much Qiu Zhiyun roils around, he won't be able to cause any waves! "

As she said that, Xu Qing licked Lin Yue's earlobes, causing Lin Yue's delicate body to tremble and reveal a bashful expression. Xu Qing chuckled again and said, "Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll make it up to you when we get back!"

Then, Xu Qing pinched Lin Yue's chin with her two hands and turned her delicate little face to Lin Yue. Lin Yue seemed a little nervous at the moment, but Xu Qing kissed Lin Yue's small mouth and patted her on the body with her hand. She said, "That's enough, don't think about it anymore. Let's go out!"

After being hit by her, Lin Yue felt embarrassed and annoyed. She then lightly hit Xu Qing's chest a few times.

Subsequently, the two girls headed outside. As they walked, Lin Yue suddenly asked, "Then how do you plan to help Shi Ling?"

Xu Qing shrugged and said, "We'll see about that later. I didn't think about it too much, but if that idiot Qiu Zhiyun is bullying Shi Ling, I'll stand up and help him."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded. Immediately, she kissed Xu Qing on the cheek. At the same time, Xu Qing also fought back. The two women then started to play in the corridor.

"..."

In Shi Ling's room, after two hours of burning, the egg turned red. However, Shi Ling was surprised to feel an excited life aura coming out from the egg, as if it was very comfortable because of the fire.

Shi Ling watched as the flames gradually disappeared and then landed back on the table. He tilted his head and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "The rest is tomorrow morning when the sun shines. Just drip my blood and it will be fine, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng agreed. Shi Ling looked at the egg expectantly as he wondered how strong the hatched baby beasts could be.

However, Bai Xiaosheng's words interrupted Shi Ling's fantasy. He said, "Have you forgotten what you didn't do?"

Shi Ling raised his head and said, "Ah, what did you miss?"

With that, Shi Ling revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "What else do I have to do?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "Have you forgotten the side effects of cultivating the Buddhist Prison Heavy Mountain Palm?"

When Shi Ling heard this, he smacked his head and said, "Yeah, I forgot."

Immediately, he hurriedly packed everything up and headed out of the house towards the Spirit Yin Mountain!
