Chapter 125: Chapter 124, Borrowing Merit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Bai Jin had just opened the scripture, without even glancing at a single word, when an overwhelming drowsiness suddenly struck and he drifted into sleep, dreaming a beautiful dream.

Dong~

Dong~

Dong~

...

A series of knocks echoed from outside.

A crisp voice called out: "Senior Brother~"

Inside the swimming pool, Bai Jin abruptly woke up, wiping his mouth and looking down at the Great Dream Heart Scripture. This scripture was too bizarre; after waking up, he couldn’t even remember the specifics of the dream. Keep in mind, he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal; how could he not remember a dream?! Now he could only vaguely recall fragments, as if in the dream he was punching Ran Deng, his senior uncle, and stepping on Senior Brother Duobao while thousands of junior sisters surrounded him, admiring and cheering him on.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother~ I know you’re home! Senior Brother, open the door quickly!" The calling persisted from outside.

Bai Jin floated up, and the Daoist robe beside the pool flew onto him as he replied, "Don’t rush, I’m coming!"

The Tao Palace’s prohibition was lifted, and two figures walked in from outside. One was Shi Ji, dressed in a black robe adorned with skulls, exuding a bizarre beauty.

The other was Gu Liang, with little buns tied atop her head, bouncing around, her cheeks plump and wearing a red dress.

Bai Jin’s eyes brightened; only after changing into this set of tight black robes did he realize how great Junior Sister Shi Ji’s figure was - those long legs were simply incredible! No wonder she was my designated secretary.

Shi Ji’s face flushed red, faintly embarrassed she said, "Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"

Without changing his expression, Bai Jin seriously said, "In my opinion, your attire looks quite extraordinary."

So Senior Brother was looking at the clothes! Here I was thinking Senior Brother wouldn’t be that kind of lewd person.

Shi Ji chuckled and said, "Senior Brother has good taste. This was a reward from Master, named Bone Spirit Robe, a defensive Spiritual Treasure."

Gu Liang said with a smug look, "Master also rewarded me with a small mushroom called something like Cloud Burst Mushroom; feels pretty similar to my King Oyster Mushroom, haven’t tried it yet."

Bai Jin wondered, "Strange, why would Master reward you with Magic Treasures out of the blue?"

Shi Ji said somewhat unnaturally, "Senior Brother, during your absence, Master has recruited over ten thousand disciples. I’ve been handling their ID cards."

Gu Liang immediately added, "And Yun Xiao and I have been helping from the sidelines."

Bai Jin was speechless, Master had recruited ten thousand disciples and then also rewarded his close ones. Is this to comfort me?

Shi Ji hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, I tried to advise Master, but it was no use."

Bai Jin exhaled and said, "Let it be! Let Master do as he pleases! As for these newly initiated disciples, Shi Ji, keep a close watch. If there are any with Fortune and Virtue, bring them to see me."

Shi Ji immediately nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Gu Liang curiously asked, "Senior Brother, where have you been all this time?"

"I’ve been to the Primordial World for some business."

Gu Liang asked curiously, "Senior Brother, do you know about Houtu’s Reincarnation?"

Bai Jin said leisurely, "I was right there at the time. The goddess is quite nice; she even shared a layer of Merit with me."

Both Shi Ji and Gu Liang were dumbstruck, again, Merit? They were extremely envious in their hearts, Senior Brother has gotten quite a bit wealthier.

Stepping forward, Shi Ji reached out her delicate hand, grasping Bai Jin’s arm, her face full of smiles, "Senior Brother, you must have had a tough journey, come, sit down and rest a bit."

Bai Jin, somewhat bewildered, was led by Shi Ji to a lounge chair and pressed to sit down.

Gu Liang scurried behind Bai Jin and started massaging his shoulders, whispering softly, "Senior Brother, is this pressure alright?"

Squatting down beside Bai Jin, Shi Ji massaged and pushed his legs, gently saying, "Senior Brother, going to the Primordial World must have been fraught with danger; I’m truly worried for you."

"Yes! Yes!" Gu Liang also nodded repeatedly.

Lying in the lounge chair, Bai Jin squinted, enjoying himself; it was actually quite comfortable, but the technique still needed improvement - the pressure was uneven, not grasping the right touches, far from my own level.

After a while, Bai Jin squinted his eyes and drawled, "If you have something to say, say it. If you don’t, I’m leaving!"

Gu Liang and Shi Ji exchanged a glance.

Gu Liang blinked her innocent and cute large eyes, "You’re the senior sister, you say it!"

Shi Ji shot back a glare, "You’re the junior sister, the senior sister commands you to speak."

"Senior sister, senior brother has always been nicest to you."

"Junior sister, senior brother has always doted on you the most."

"What’s with all the meaningful looks between you two?!"

Gu Liang immediately shut her eyes, pretending to be asleep, "I can’t see, I can’t see, I’m asleep~"

Shi Ji awkwardly said, "Senior brother, I’d like to borrow some money from you."

Gu Liang nodded vigorously, adding, "Me too!"

Bai Jin opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Back when we were in Kunlun, I offered you Merit Coins but you always put it off. Why do you suddenly want to borrow now?"

Shi Ji stood up and bowed, saying, "Senior brother, I intend to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm and I’m afraid of external demonic invasions, so I request you to lend me some Merit Coins for protection. I will certainly repay them in the future."

Gu Liang continued nodding, "Me too! Me too!"

Only then did Bai Jin notice that upon his return, both junior sisters had reached the peak of the Profound Immortal and were just one step away from becoming Golden Immortal Great Powers.

Bai Jin sat up, his speech filled with a hardly hidden mirth, "That’s wonderful news. How much do you need?"

Shi Ji raised one palm, somewhat sheepishly saying, "Fifty thousand!"

She hurriedly added, "I will definitely repay you."

Gu Liang kept nodding, "Me too! Me too!"

Bai Jin chuckled, "No need to repay. You two junior sisters have helped me manage the Jie Sect and contributed much. Consider these fifty thousand as your compensation." With a wave of his hand, a shower of gold coins fell, dividing into two piles. Fifty thousand Merit Coins rained down~

Shi Ji voiced her gratitude excitedly, "Thank you, senior brother! Once I have Merit, I will be sure to repay you."

Gu Liang continued nodding while exclaiming excitedly, "Me too, me too!"

Both disciples waved their hands to collect the Merit Coins and immediately scampered off.

After Shi Ji and Gu Liang had gone some distance, Bai Jin stood up from the lounger and talked to himself, "Since Master has already accepted those disciples, it’s time to meet them." He leaped up from the lounger and walked outside.

Bai Jin stood in front of the Bird’s Nest and loudly called out, "Jie Sect Outer Disciples, gather at the Three Lights Immortal Island."

Moments later, various clouds sparsely arrived, and around four to five hundred Jie Sect disciples stood before the Three Lights Immortal Island. Among them were some familiar faces like the Yun Xiao Three Sisters, Zhao Gongming, and some disciples well-known from Kunlun Mountain, all exchanging puzzled looks.

Bai Jin’s expression instantly darkened. Why were there so few? Shouldn’t there be ten thousand immortals coming to court?

A streak of light swept across the sky, descending in front of Bai Jin and transforming into the figure of Long-Eared Light-fixing Immortal, who bowed with a beaming smile, "Long-Eared Light-fixing Immortal greets the senior brother?"

Bai Jin frowned and asked, "Where are the other disciples?"

Long-Eared Light-fixing Immortal replied with a smile, "Senior Brother Duobao sent me to inform you that the rest of the disciples are listening to Tao at Duobao Island and are unable to come for the time being."

After contemplating for a moment, Bai Jin looked up and cheerily said, "It really is troublesome for the senior brother as the first disciple of the Inner Sect to worry about Outer Disciples affairs. Never mind, if they can’t come, so be it."

"Thank you for your generosity, senior brother!" Long-Eared Light-fixing Immortal turned and flew off into the distance.

Bai Jin made a bow and said, "I’ve met many junior brothers and sisters."

"Greetings, senior brother!"

Bai Jin smiled and said, "I only summoned the junior brothers and sisters to get to know you. Now that we’ve met, all the junior brothers and sisters may disperse! Go back and cultivate well~"

"Yes! Thank you for your instruction, senior brother."

The hundreds of disciples all bowed in return and then turned to leave.
