"Junior understands." Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged as he respectfully replied.
"Very good, someone will give you the guest guest token tomorrow along with your salary for the next three months." Bai Hecheng nodded approvingly and said.
"Patriarch, when can this junior carry out the task?" Shen Luo asked.
"Don't worry, the family will inform you once the arrangements are made." Bai Hecheng waved his hand and said.
After Shen Luo thanked him again, he said goodbye and left.
After he left, a person suddenly walked out of the study room. It was Third Elder Bai Jiangfeng.
"Patriarch, according to the rules, only cultivators who have reached the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage can receive one immortal jade every three months. Shen Luo is lacking in both cultivation and aptitude. Making him a guest is already an exception. Why is he still allowed to receive immortal jade as his salary? "Bai Jiangfeng asked doubtfully.
"It doesn't matter. The Bai Family can still take out this immortal jade. Just treat it as giving this young man a chance. Moreover, this is the only requirement for Xiaotian to go to the Life Transforming Temple. "Bai Hecheng smiled and said.
"Patriarch has good intentions and I agree. I'm just afraid that the family's disciples and other guests will not be convinced and will find trouble with him when the time comes." Bai Jiangfeng shook his head and said.
"If he can't deal with this little trouble, then my Bai Family's immortal jade and Xiaotian's painstaking efforts will really be wasted. When the time comes, there will be a way to make him leave the Bai Family on his own initiative. "Bai Hecheng smiled and said.
The next day, the news that Shen Luo had become a guest of the Bai Family quickly spread throughout the Bai Mansion.
When Shen Luo received the guest token and immortal jade, he also moved out of Bai Xiaotian's small courtyard and lived in a small independent courtyard arranged by the Bai Family.
The small courtyard was located in a dense forest near the lake in the mansion. It was even more remote and further away from the front gate. However, it was much closer to the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake.
However, after Shen Luo became an Honoured Guest, he was stopped by the old woman who was in charge of the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake. She told him that he did not have the right to cultivate there for the time being. As an Honoured Guest, he had to perform meritorious deeds for the Bai Mansion and obtain the approval of the Master of the Bai Mansion.
Although Shen Luo was a little depressed, he couldn't say anything on the surface. After all, it was already a special case that he was able to enter the secret room to cultivate. It was all thanks to Bai Xiaotian. Now that he had accepted a new identity, he naturally had to accept a series of corresponding changes.
Having figured this out, Shen Luo settled down in the small courtyard and continued to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
There was a continuous rain in Jianye City, and the temperature plummeted. The feeling of autumn in the city grew stronger.
On this day, Shen Luo woke up early. However, he did not meditate as usual. Instead, he took out the stone box that he had carefully kept.
After opening the stone box, he took out a gold ingot and a few banknotes and put them aside.
Then, he carefully stretched out two fingers and slowly took out a round jade stone the size of a copper coin. Its color was verdant and glistening, and a strand of pure spirit energy could be seen circulating inside. It was the legendary "Celestial Jade", which was also the first guest's salary he received.
According to the records in the ancient books, the Immortal Jade itself was a kind of rare spiritual material. It was born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and was nurtured by the earth's veins. Therefore, it formed some extremely hidden underground jade veins.
After it was mined by people, it was refined according to the shape set by Keyi, so that the spiritual energy it contained condensed and did not dissipate. It formed the "Immortal Jade" that was widely circulated among Immortal Cultivators.
Shen Luo held the Immortal Jade in his hand and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of love.
Previously, he had used up all the talisman ink to draw the Lightning Talisman on yellow paper, but in the end, he did not succeed. He planned to go to the Treasure Record Hall today and use this Immortal Jade to buy ten Blue Frost Talisman Papers.
After putting away the celestial jades, he was about to close the stone box when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something reflecting a metallic luster in the corner of the box from the corner of his eye. He immediately removed the banknotes, the Nameless Heavenly Book, and other items that were pressed on top of it, revealing a piece of gold foil.
Shen Luo took it out and carefully sized it up for a moment. When he saw the talisman markings inscribed on it, he suddenly recalled that he'd taken it from a metal bag filled with bones when he was fishing for the Nameless Heavenly Scripture from Mountain Pass River.
"I almost forgot that there was such a thing. I never knew what it was. Shopkeeper Ma has handled a lot of spiritual materials, so he must have seen a lot. Maybe he knows what it is?" Shen Luo thought to himself.
Then, he put away the stone box and left the Bai residence, heading straight for the Treasure Record Hall.
When Shen Luo arrived at the Treasure Record Hall, he saw two people standing outside the shop from afar. Their faces were not unfamiliar. They were the two retainers who had followed Bai Xiaoyun last time.
He frowned, faintly aware of something, and hurried over.
But before he reached the door, the two retainers took the initiative to welcome him and reached out to stop him.
The two naturally recognized Shen Luo's face and identity, so they did not dare to be too rash. "Elder Shen, Second Young Master is working inside. Why don't you come back another day?"
"It's okay, I'm just here to buy something." Shen Luo glanced at the door and said.
"Please don't make things difficult for us." One of the retainers glanced at the guest elder token hanging on his waist and said awkwardly.
"Don't worry, I'm really just here to buy something. I won't disturb Second Young Master." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.
The two retainers glanced at each other, still somewhat hesitant.
Shen Luo's face darkened. His figure flashed and passed through the gap between the two. At the same time, he quickly waved his hand.
"You …" The two retainers were shocked. Before they could say anything, their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Shen Luo had just entered the shop when he heard a rough voice from inside. It did not sound like Bai Xiaoyun's.
"Shopkeeper Ma, a wise man submits to circumstances. Second Young Master Bai has the famous Jianye Bai Family behind him. Many people want to climb up the social ladder but can't find a way. Don't fail to appreciate his kindness."
Just as the voice fell, another young voice sounded, "Old Man Ma, I've visited you so many times. Can't you see my sincerity? I really like Miss Xiu Xiu, why do you have to interfere? "
"Young Master Bai, you're from a great family. We can't climb up the social ladder. My daughter is still young. She's not at the age of marriage yet. Please don't force her. If Young Master Bai finds out, won't he punish you again? "Shopkeeper Ma's voice sounded. The pleading in his words was obvious.
"Don't think of using my brother's name to suppress me! He's no longer in Jianye City. Let's see who dares to interfere with this Young Master's family matters this time. "The young voice said again, his tone unconsciously becoming more serious.
"Second Young Master, your brother just left a few days ago and you're already impatiently here. You're really deeply in love!" Shen Luo stepped over the threshold and said as he walked. His voice was neither fast nor slow, as if he was greeting a friend.
He swept his gaze across the room and saw Shopkeeper Ma behind the counter protecting his daughter with a red face. The girl's eyes were filled with tears, looking delicate and pitiful.
