"Shen Luo, to be honest, the fact that you can be honest with me and tell me the truth is enough to make me happy. However, I can't promise you that." Bai Xiao Tian's eyes flashed with gratification as he spoke.
"Why is that?" Shen Luo was a little surprised.
"Ancestor asked for a chance to enter the Life Transforming Temple for me. I received a reply the day before yesterday. I will be leaving Jianye in a few days." Bai Xiaotian looked out the window and said slowly.
"Life Transforming Temple?"
Shen Luo heard this name and felt that it was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered.
Back in the library of Fangcun Mountain, he had seen a record of the Life Transforming Temple. There were some words of approval and praise in the words.
"You've heard of this place?" Bai Xiaotian asked.
"I've heard of it a little. It's a big immortal sect in our Tang Dynasty. With your cultivation talent, if you can enter this sect, you will definitely achieve great things in the future." Shen Luo was sincerely happy.
"Once you enter the Biochemical Temple, you can no longer be considered a descendant of Little Mao Mountain. Therefore, I cannot agree to you inheriting the Pure Yang Treasured Tome and rebuilding the Temple of Spring and Autumn." Bai Xiaotian withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Luo as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Since I am able to enter such a sect, I will definitely be able to practice even more profound techniques. Missing out on a Pure Yang Treasure Tome is nothing. This is also good. You and I can stay together for a few more days. When you leave Jianye City, I will return to Chunhua County with you. "Shen Luo heard this and nodded.
"In my opinion, it may not be a good thing for you to return to Chunhua County now." Bai Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and said.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Luo was stunned.
"Not to mention that the people sent by my family didn't find any traces of the demons, it doesn't mean that the demons have completely retreated. Even if they have really retreated, who can guarantee that they won't come back again? "Bai Xiaotian asked.
"You're saying that once I rashly return to Chunhua County, there is a possibility that the demons will come back?" Shen Luo frowned.
"As the survivors of the Temple of Spring and Autumn, you and I have no choice but to consider this. Jianye City has our Bai Family holding the fort, so they might not dare to take the risk to invade us. However, in Chunhua County, they have no qualms, "Bai Xiaotian said solemnly.
Hearing this, Shen Luo knew that Bai Xiaotian was telling the truth, and his frown deepened.
"I won't hide it from you. In truth, it's not just Jianye. Many places in the Great Tang are also in turmoil. The legend of the Demonic Calamity was getting more and more intense, and the signs of chaos were beginning to appear. The reason why my family is in such a hurry for me to learn profound Daoist techniques and for me to grow up is not necessarily because they did not have the intention to prepare for this. Shen Luo, the most important thing for you now is not to return home, but to cultivate. Only when you truly have the power to protect yourself, then no matter where you are, you won't be afraid of being harassed by demons. "Bai Xiaotian extended his hand and patted Shen Luo's arrowhead as he continued speaking.
"You're right. It's just that you've already left Jianye. I can't possibly stay in your house and not leave, right? " Shen Luo sighed. He knew better than anyone else what the world after the Demonic Calamity would be like.
"You don't have to worry about this. Before you leave, I'll persuade my father to let you temporarily become a guest elder in the family. When the time comes, not only can you continue to cultivate in the Bai Residence, you should also be able to receive immortal jade as remuneration." Bai Xiaotian waved his hand and said.
"I'm afraid that's not appropriate. I'm only in the mid-stage of Qi Refinement. How am I qualified to be a guest elder?" Shen Luo immediately said.
"Well … Most of the guest elders in our Bai Family are in the late stage of Qi Refinement. It's not like we don't have mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, so there's nothing wrong with it." Bai Xiaotian said.
"Bai Xiaotian, actually, I've always been curious. As the number one exorcist family in Jianye, how powerful is your Bai Family? How much stronger are you compared to the Temple of Spring and Autumn?" Shen Luo suddenly asked.
"Compared to the Temple of Spring and Autumn, we're naturally still slightly stronger. Other than my ancestor who's in the Soul Condensation Stage, my father and third grandfather are in the late stage of Inedia and mid-stage of Inedia respectively. In addition, the Fifth Madam whom you met in the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake is also in the mid-stage of Inedia. "Bai Xiaotian said.
"Soul Condensation Stage, Inedia Stage, Inedia Stage. The Bai Family's background is indeed extraordinary." Shen Luo heard and sighed in his heart.
"Among the guest elders, there's also a cultivator in the early stage of Inedia. The other six are all in the Qi Refinement Stage. They're distributed from the sixth to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. If you join them, you'll be the eighth guest elder of our Bai Family. How about it? Do you want to give it a try? "Bai Xiaotian said.
"You're already so considerate of me. If I still don't agree, then I really don't know what's good for me." Shen Luo understood the meaning behind Bai Xiaotian's words and nodded in agreement.
"Reviving the Temple of Spring and Autumn isn't a small matter. It requires more than just money. At the same time, you'll also need a strong ability to rely on. The burden on your shoulders isn't light." Bai Xiaotian saw that he agreed and said with a smile.
"I originally wanted to drag you along. Two monks carrying water to drink. In the end, it's still me who's shouldering everything alone." Shen Luo's expression relaxed and he teased.
"After this farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again! Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink. We won't go home until we're drunk! "Bai Xiaotian waved his hand and pulled Shen Luo out without any explanation.
…
A few days later, Bai Xiaotian left Jianye City under the escort of an elder of the Bai Family.
Shen Luo was immediately invited to the study in the backyard by someone sent by Bai Crane Cheng.
"Greetings, Senior." Shen Luo entered the room and bowed.
"Haha, you and Bai Xiaotian are close friends. You can just call me uncle. Come, sit down and talk." Bai Crane Cheng put down the book in his hand and smiled warmly.
Shen Luo heard this and smiled. He didn't change his greeting immediately and sat down respectfully in front of Bai Crane Cheng.
"I called you here today because there's something I want to discuss with you." Bai Crane Cheng continued.
"Senior, please tell me." Shen Luo said.
"In recent years, the Bai Family has been constantly expanding its strength and has taken in many foreign cultivators to become Guest Elders. I wonder if you're willing to join the Bai Family and become a Guest Elder? "Bai Crane Cheng asked directly.
"It's great to be a Guest Elder of the Bai Family. However, my cultivation level is not high enough. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to do so." Shen Luo immediately answered.
"This is not a problem. The reason why I invited you to become a Guest Elder of the Bai Family is not because of your current cultivation level. I think you have a bright future. Xiaoyun and the Third Elder are quite appreciative of you. I also think you have a good temperament. Therefore, I want to accept you as a Guest Elder. "Bai Crane Cheng said with a smile.
"It's my honor to be praised by Senior. I'm willing to become a Guest Elder of the Bai Family and serve the Bai Family." Shen Luo immediately stood up and cupped his fists.
"Good, good, good. Sit down and talk." Bai Crane Cheng quickly asked Shen Luo to sit down.
"Thank you, Family Head." Shen Luo responded and sat down.
When Bai Crane Cheng heard the change in his title, the smile on his face became more obvious.
"Since you're already a Guest Elder of the Bai Family, I have to tell you something in advance. Your current cultivation level is not high. Therefore, your salary can't be the same as other Guest Elders. You can only receive one Immortal Jade every three months. Correspondingly, the family will arrange some simple exorcism and demon subduing tasks for you. After completing these tasks, you will receive a corresponding reward. "Bai Crane Cheng said.
