The two of them hugged each other for a long time before they finally let go of each other reluctantly. Morning Dew then said, "Tonight, come find me after I've finished competing with that woman, Ouyang Yuqing."

At that moment, the two of them stood up and left. As Morning Dew was in the process, she did not even turn her head back three times, looking at Shi Ling's departing back blankly. Her expression was clearly a little dejected.

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

Hearing this, Shi Ling helplessly shook his head and said, "The distance between her and I is already very far, and her growth speed is not any slower than mine. I am thinking that day, will she think that I am no longer worthy of her, and then abandon her?"

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

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

When Shi Ling heard this, he looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "With your help, my cultivation speed has indeed increased, but what if one day you're no longer around? Then wouldn't I be finished?"

Bai Xiaosheng lightly shook his head, and said, "There are a lot of things that need to be learned to vary from person to person. If one day I disappear, you won't stop walking because of it.

However, Shi Ling did not comment on these words. It was as Bai Xiaosheng had said. Ever since Bai Xiaosheng began training with Shi Ling, Bai Xiaosheng had ignored most of the unexpected incidents and left Shi Ling alone to deal with them.

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "In this world, there are four types of people. The first type is unambitious and incapable, so they are destined to be unable to accomplish anything in their entire lives. The second type is ambitious and incapable, with a heart full of ambition but ultimately unable to accomplish anything. The third type is unambitious and powerful, but is destined to spend their entire lives toiling away at others. The fourth type …"

As Bai Xiaosheng spoke up to this point, he paused for a moment and looked at Shi Ling. Shi Ling lowered his head but did not speak, and Bai Xiaosheng continued, "Ambitious and powerful, they will not be willing to be restricted by anyone, regardless of what they do. They will constantly think of ways to break free from the shackles on their bodies, and continuously advance towards the goal they have set! "Even if the road ahead is bumpy, I still won't stop walking."

When Shi Ling heard this, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Bai Xiaosheng. He locked gazes with Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "If you were the first person, then I would not be by your side. If you were the second person, then I would not be of any help to you. If you were the third type, then I would not teach you too much, because teaching you would be useless."

"Are you saying that I belong to the fourth type of person?"

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, "Are you trying your best to cultivate and become stronger, all for the sake of being loyal to others?"

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

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, "Alright, you already understand. There's no need for me to say anymore."

As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng took the lead and flew out. In response, Shi Ling furrowed his brows. The words that Bai Xiaosheng had said to him a moment ago made him somewhat confused.

However, he still walked with Bai Xiaosheng.

"..."

The two of them then went to the Plethora Gem Pavilion. According to the Hundred Daybreaks' request, Shi Ling had bought a beast bag, as well as some Flame Crystals, and because the current Shi Ling's waist bag was still considered a share, he bought more than a hundred of them at once. Although they were the lowest grade of Flame Crystals, it was enough for the egg.

After buying all the necessary things, Shi Ling would of course supplement his own cultivation resources. With the Spiritual Beads and the like, he would definitely have to buy more. Also, he would also have to buy more Star Origin Fruits.

However, with this expenditure, Shi Ling's waist pouch had shrunk from the initial 7900 gold coins to just 4400 gold coins. Shi Ling, who had spent so much, felt a pain in his heart, but as long as he could raise his strength a little, all of this would be worth it.

Very quickly, Shi Ling returned to his room. Immediately, he took out the egg from his storage ring and placed it on the table. Then, he took out several scarlet thumb-sized, prismatic crystals.

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

Bai Xiaosheng said, "Cast the spell and lift that 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. "If that's the case, will this egg be cooked?"

Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and said, "If this egg's cooked, can you also burn me?"

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

After that, he looked at the egg, picked it up with both hands, and released some mana from his palms. Then, he slowly lifted the egg and floated it in the air.

The next moment, the scarlet crystal turned into a ball of flame the moment it came into contact with the egg, instantly wrapping it up. In that moment, the temperature in Shi Ling's room suddenly rose, and Shi Ling's head shifted backwards, increasing the output of his mana, and controlled the egg's suspended height, keeping it as far away from him as possible. This thing's temperature was really not low, if someone was touched by it, they would be instantly burnt to death.

The 'All Knowing Scholar' watched as the flames burned fiercely, causing the beast imprint that lingered around it to gradually appear. It appeared as if it was carved on a piece of paper, giving it a vivid appearance. Shi Ling's gaze also looked over at the figure drawn on it, and he was certain that it was a 'maggot'.

He immediately heard Bai Xiaosheng say, "In the following month, at this time every day, we will burn them with fire crystals for at least two hours a day. For the first ten days, we will burn them with the lowest grade fire crystals, for the middle ten days, we will burn the higher grade fire crystals, and for the last ten days, we will burn the blue fire crystals. Remember, you can't break even one day!"

He looked at the egg, and although it was said that one fire crystal was very resistant to heat, it would at most be enough to burn for a quarter of an hour. In an hour, Shi Ling had to consume at least eight fire crystals per day.

Ten gold coins per piece of Scarlet Flame Crystal would only cost 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. In addition, ten days worth of Blue Flame Crystals cost 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!

Immediately, Shi Ling looked as if someone owed him millions. Bai Xiaosheng could see what Shi Ling was thinking and immediately smiled, "I've already warned you before that it would be very troublesome to own a spirit beast mount exclusively for yourself. Furthermore, I've given you the choice …"

Knowing that he was about to start chattering again, Shi Ling raised his hand and said, "Alright, I got it. I chose this path myself. Even if I were to kneel, I have to finish it."

The Bai Xiaosheng knew that Shi Ling understood, so he nodded his head with a smile. He then heard Shi Ling laugh bitterly again, saying, "The Fiery Blaze Crystals are used by others to refine medicine, to refine artifacts, and to refine talismans. I'm the only one who walks the strange route and uses them to refine eggs!"

At this point, Shi Ling didn't even dare to imagine what other people would think of him once they found out about his actions. They might think he had no place to spend his money.

At this time, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Young people don't despair, because this is only the beginning. In the future, there will be a lot of places where money can be burned. You should prepare yourself."

After he finished speaking, he flew out of his room to bask in the sunlight, leaving behind a painful expression on Shi Ling's face.

"..."

In the pavilion, in a secluded 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 Qiu Zhiyun, that idiot? "

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 personally release Shi Ling in front of that idiot Qiu Zhiyun. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Shi Ling?"

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

Lin Yue didn't know what to say, but Xu Qing squinted, staring straight at Lin Yue and smiled: "There's one more thing that makes me feel weird?" "Why are you suddenly so concerned about him?"

As she said that, Xu Qing revealed a meaningful smile. Lin Yue's face instantly turned as red as a small apple as she shyly and angrily said: "Aiya, what are you saying? "Who would like that silly brat, Shi Ling!"

However, Xu Qing blinked her beautiful large eyes and said in surprise: "I didn't say who it was, nor did I say that you like him."

Lin Yue's face turned even redder, but she heard Xu Qing sneer, "Are you admitting it now?"

Lin Yue was instantly angered, she punched Xu Qing randomly: "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to speak nonsense! Otherwise, I'll ignore you from now on! "

Xu Qing quickly waved her hand, "Alright, alright, alright. I won't target him like this ever again, okay?"

When Xu Qing saw this little girl, she seemed to be really angry. At once, she hugged her from behind, her two arms wrapped around her waist, her head leaning on Lin Yue's shoulder as she whispered into her ear:

"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 brought the other heaven's pride level experts of the Qiu Family to deal with Shi Ling, it would not be an easy task for the entire Spirit Sword Sect to deal with him! Furthermore, I will help Shi Ling as well. At that time, no matter how much Qiu Zhiyun roils around, he won't be able to create any splashes! "

As she spoke, Xu Qing licked Lin Yue's earlobes, causing Lin Yue's delicate body to tremble, revealing a bashful look. Xu Qing chuckled again and said: "Alright, don't be angry anymore. When we get back, I'll properly make up for it!"

With that, Xu Qing pinched Lin Yue's chin, then turned her delicate little face towards him. Lin Yue seemed a little nervous at the moment, but Xu Qing kissed Lin Yue's little mouth, and at the same time, she patted Lin Yue's body with her hand, saying, "That's enough, don't think about it anymore. Let's go out!"

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

Following which, the two ladies headed outside. As they walked, Lin Yue suddenly asked, "Then, how do you plan to help Shi Ling in the future?"

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

Lin Yue smiled and nodded. She then gave Xu Qing a kiss on her face. Xu Qing also fought back at this moment, and the two women started playing around in the corridor.

"..."

After two hours of burning, the egg's color turned red in Shi Ling's room. However, Shi Ling was surprised to find that there was an excited aura of life coming from within the egg, as if it was very comfortable due to the fire.

As the flames gradually dissipated, Shi Ling turned his head to look at Bai Xiaosheng, "The rest will be up until tomorrow morning, when you can drip my blood on it, right?"

"En!" Bai Xiaosheng agreed. Shi Ling was looking at the egg expectantly, wondering what level of power the cub would reach if it hatched with such a clear egg.

However, Bai Xiaosheng's words interrupted Shi Ling's fantasies. "Have you forgotten what you haven't done?"

Shi Ling raised his head and exclaimed, "What have you failed to do?"

As he said this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he said, "Is there anything else I haven't done?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "Have you forgotten the side effects of practicing the Heavy Buddha Palm?"

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

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