Chapter 163 Encounter with Tong Yao

It was still the middle of the night, but occasionally the sound of jars being smashed could be heard next door.

Tian Lin stayed in this courtyard last night and has become accustomed to the noise coming from next door.

He thought for a moment and asked Yu'er, "Master Long Dan next door, do you know him?"

Yu'er said hurriedly, "Master Long likes to stay in the alchemy room, and often does not go out for a month or two. All matters in the courtyard are handled by his maid Zhong'er."

"Take my business card tomorrow and see when Master Long Dan is free so I can come visit you."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Tian Lin went to Chenxiantang again and went fishing with the Sanhe Gang.

When he came back empty-handed in the afternoon, Yu'er said to Tian Lin, "Zhong'er from his family said that Master Long Dan is in seclusion these days and may not come out until the end of the month."

Tian Lin nodded. The Buddha Demon Pill he brought back yesterday had not been touched yet.

Yu'er suggested that Tian Lin buy the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique from Master Long Dan, as it might be cheaper this way.

But Tian Lin knew in his heart that a set of magical powers, even if it was not a secret.

If I want to get it, it will probably cost a lot of spirit stones, and what I lack most now is spirit stones.

In the evening, Tian Lin did not go out for a stroll, but took the "Record of Fish Demons in Chenxiantang" obtained from the Sanhe Gang and started reading it.

Yu'er made a cup of tea for Tian Lin. After taking a sip, Tian Lin frowned and asked, "Where did this tea come from?"

When he drank tea, he clearly felt the spiritual energy contained in the tea.

According to the hint, this tea is indeed not ordinary tea.

Yu Er heard this and immediately said:
"This is the peacock tea I bought during the day. It has a good health-preserving effect. In addition to being given to you on weekdays, this tea is also mainly used to entertain guests."

“This tea is not cheap.”

Ting Yu'er said, "One low-grade spirit stone can buy one or two ounces of this tea."

Tian Lin said: "I don't usually drink tea, so just use ordinary tea leaves when you make tea for me in the future."

Yu'er looked worried when she heard that. She had a new understanding of Tian Lin's stinginess.

But she didn't say much, and helped Tian Lin light the lamp until midnight.

Early the next morning, Tian Lin left the county town and went directly to Chenxiantang.

However, this time he did not go to look for the people from the Sanhe Gang. Instead, he took out a thousand-year-old wooden boat from his storage bag, took a homemade harpoon, and rowed directly towards the open sea.

Tian Linchuan's advantage is that although the people from the Sanhe Gang arrived earlier than him, they did not set off as quickly as he did.

With the help of the sea breeze, he sailed into the sea fog in a flash.

The sea breeze blew, and the boat under Tian Lin swayed. The deeper they went into the sea, the more violently the boat shook, and it seemed that it might capsize at any time.

"To others, the water in the Shenxian Pond is not only poisonous, but once you enter the water, your Qi will not be able to circulate.

But for me, this sea water is just a gold spirit foundation pool. Not only can it not suppress my true energy, but it can also allow me to absorb gold spirit energy at any time. "

After a morning of boating in Tianlin, we were already quite far away from the coast.

Finally, the sound of sea fish swimming was heard ahead. Tian Lin took off his clothes on the boat and threw his storage bag on the boat. He took only a wooden sword and harpoon and jumped into the water with a "plop".

The wooden swords and harpoons are made of thousand-year-old wood, so there is no need to worry about them sinking into the sea.

Tian Lin held a wooden sword in his left hand and a harpoon in his right hand, and dived into the sea.

He kicked his feet hard in the water, and his body appeared in front of a two-headed fish like an arrow.

The two-headed fish does not have two heads, but there is a white pattern shaped like a human head on both sides of its black tail, so it is called the two-headed fish.

The two-headed fish that Tian Lin was facing was obviously an adult, and its size was not much smaller than Tian Lin's boat.

The wooden sword and harpoon struggled to break off the fish scales and pierced three inches into the fish's body.

The two-headed fish felt pain, and swung its tail directly to sweep Tian Lin, then rolled in the sea again.

Fortunately, Tian Lin had thick skin and strong flesh, and he was able to withstand the heavy blow from the fish's tail.

In order to prevent the two-headed fish from breaking free, he clamped the fish's body with his legs, held the hilt of the sword and the harpoon tightly with both hands, and followed the two-headed fish as it sank and rose in the sea.

He had mastered the breath-holding technique and was not worried about breathing at all.

The two-headed fish is very tenacious and even a small injury is not enough to kill it.

Tian Lin had no choice but to hold the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand and smash the two-headed fish with the other.

Although Chen Xiantang was unable to suppress Tian Lin's circulation of true Qi, when Tian Lin's true Qi came out of his body, the sea water would dissolve the true Qi leaving his body without leaving a trace.

So although Tian Lin's fist was powerful, when it actually hit the two-headed fish, its power was weakened by 80% to 90%.

The man and the fish fought in the water for more than an hour. Finally, the two-headed fish ran out of strength and its belly turned white in the water.

Tian Lin stepped on the two-headed fish and floated to the surface. Looking at the busy sea, he could no longer see his wooden boat.

On the wooden boat were not only his clothes, but also his storage bag.

Logically, the storage bag would sink even if it entered the water. As long as Tian Lin held on tightly, he didn't have to worry about the storage bag being "eaten" by the Shenxiantang.

But Tian Lin jumped into the water to fight for his life, so in order to avoid losing the storage bag during the fight, he naturally did not dare to carry it with him.

So the storage bag had to be left on the boat, and now they had to look for the missing boat.

"This place should not be far from where I entered the water. I am afraid that the sea breeze will blow the boat into the fog, and it will be difficult to find it then."

Tian Lin emerged from the water and flew up.

With his foundation-building skills and the wind-walking technique, walking on the waves is not a difficult task for him.

As the sea level rises and falls, the fields and forests standing on the sea surface also rise and fall.

He glanced around and finally sensed the location of the flying sword.

As his mind moved, the flying sword made a soft sound that came from far away and got closer.

When Tian Lin entered the sea, he had tied the hilt of his flying sword to the hull of the boat. When the flying sword flew towards him, it drove the small boat through the waves and flew towards Tian Lin.

Fortunately, he is in the foundation-building stage. The range of his spiritual consciousness is much wider than that in the Qi Refining stage, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness is also much stronger than that in the Qi Refining stage.

But even so, it was easy for him to control the flying sword with his spiritual sense, but using the flying sword to drive the boat against the wind seemed a bit difficult.

As soon as the boat approached, Tian Lin turned over and dived into the sea, pulling up the two-headed fish that was sinking three feet underwater.

The two-headed fish is a fish monster unique to this layer of sea, and its corpse will not sink to the bottom.

But even so, Tian Lin had no idea where to put his strength when trying to lift the two-headed fish in the water.

He flipped out of the sea again, stood on the bow and exerted force hard.

The handle of the harpoon broke instantly, and Tian Lin took out three or four harpoons from the storage bag and stabbed them into the fish's body.

While others were on the boat, their true Qi could be released.

Tian Lin exerted force with his feet, the boat sank slightly, and the two-headed fish in the sea was instantly picked up and flew up.

Without waiting for the two-headed fish to fall on the bow of the boat, Tian Lin waited for the two-headed fish to leave the sea surface, directly controlled his spiritual consciousness, and put the body of the two-headed fish directly into the storage bag.

Although the clouds on the sea had not completely dissipated at this time, the sunlight had already shone on Tian Lin's smooth body.

Tian Lin frowned and looked at a flying boat in the distance.

On the flying boat, a little girl spat and cursed: "You are old, aren't you ashamed?"

The little girl was wearing a white jacket and skirt with cloud patterns woven with gold thread and buttons inlaid with beads on the sleeves, all of which indicated that this ten-year-old girl had already reached the initial stage of foundation building.

Tian Lin's eyes swept over the middle-aged woman next to the little girl, and he was even more surprised. He quickly put on his clothes and greeted the middle-aged woman sitting cross-legged at the bow next to the little girl, saying, "Junior Tian He greets Senior Tong."

The woman looked at Tian Lin after he put on his clothes and asked in a cold voice, "Do you recognize me?"

Tian Lin hurriedly said: "I am the Tong family's worshiper, so I know Patriarch Tong."

This middle-aged woman was Tong Yao, whom Tian Lin had seen in a dream.

At that time, she was just a young girl, but now she has become a tall and beautiful woman.

But Tian Lin recognized Tong Yao, but Tong Yao did not recognize Tian Lin. Moreover, Tian Lin was still in disguise.

"No wonder you are fishing here - but this is no longer near the sea. Even if you have the foundation-building ability, it is still very dangerous. It is better to go back as soon as possible."

Tong Yao spoke, without looking at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin politely said yes and waited on the boat until Tong Yao's flying boat went far away before he stood up.

Just now Tong Yao advised him not to go deep into the open sea, but she herself went into the open sea.

Tian Lin didn't know whether the other party was here to investigate the lack of fish in Shenxian Pond or to investigate Jiu Ming Zhenren -

These things had nothing to do with him. He was only worried that Tong Yao might see him going into the sea to fish.

You know, if a normal person, even a Jindan cultivator, falls into Chenxian Pond, he will sink to the bottom.

If someone knew that he could enter the Chenxian Pond without drowning, would he be able to resist arresting and torturing himself?

"I tried to stay as far away from the coast as possible, but I still ran into the Tong family's ancestor. But she probably didn't see me enter the water, otherwise she wouldn't be so indifferent."

Tian Lin looked at the sky. It was still afternoon, but he was afraid that Tong Yao would run into him again when she returned, so he simply returned to the coast.

Near the coast, the Sanhe Gang's large boats were still fishing.

But where are the fish in the coastal area? Even if there are fish, the fish monsters hiding several feet under the sea are not so easy to stab.

Zhang Xiaoke, who was wearing a scarf on the bow of the boat, also saw Tian Lin. He put away the harpoon, bowed to Tian Lin, and then asked Tian Lin:

"I wonder if you have any fish today, Senior?"

Tian Lin smiled and did not hesitate to release the two heads from the storage bag.

The two-headed fish was huge, and with Tian Lin standing on the boat, the boat could barely hold the entire fish.

The boat began to sink and was about to capsize.

Before the boat capsized, Tian Lin placed his feet on the side of the boat to keep it balanced.

The fishermen on the big ship and the small boats beside it could not help but exclaim:

"This fish is worth at least 20 or 30 low-grade spirit stones, right?"

Immediately, a boatman asked Tian Lin, "Where did you catch this fish, sir?"

How could Tian Lin hide something that was bound to be exposed?
He said frankly: "I caught it in the far sea, and it took a lot of effort."

It's more than just a lot of strength.

If a fish this big were on the shore, even a Qi Refiner would not be afraid of it.

Or in ordinary sea areas, even a Qi Refiner can capture it easily.

However, in the Chenxian Pond, even a foundation-building cultivator would find it difficult to salvage it from the Chenxian Pond.

"Senior's cultivation is unfathomable. I admire you."

After Zhang Xiaoke finished speaking, Tian Lin had already put the two-headed fish on the boat back into the storage bag.

He didn't stay here for long, and took the boat back to the shore under the envious gazes of a group of people.

There is the Tong family’s riverside shop on the coast, which is a railing-style building different from other shops.

This river bank was built hundreds of years ago. Although it is still tall, the wooden pillars and door thresholds have long been pitted.

Heboso was built next to a brothel. The brothel seemed extremely lively, but the entrance of Heboso was deserted.

Tian Lin entered the Hebo Station and only smelled a faint fishy smell, but did not see the water officer of the Hebo Station.

Fortunately, someone saw from Tian Lin's clothes that Tian Lin was a powerful foundation-building cultivator, so they took the initiative to help Tian Lin go to the brothel to call for help.

Not long after, the fat and white Shuiguan ran down from the brothel next door while tying his belt.

He bowed in front of Tian Lin and asked Tian Lin, "What do you want, senior?"

Tian Lin didn't waste any words. He first took off the Tong family's offering plate and showed it to the water official, then took out the two-headed fish from the storage bag.

"Weigh it and see how much it is worth in spirit stones."

The two-headed fish was so huge that it smashed the thick stone table at the door.

The water official couldn't help but take a breath, and the onlookers around him subconsciously came over to look at the two-headed fish as big as the boat.

"If this is a Five Elements Dragon, then we will make a lot of money."

Someone said so.

After all, the two-headed fish only has five internal organs and fish scales to use, but how heavy can the internal organs be? And how many kilograms can the fish scales weigh?

The Five Elements Dragon is different. The Five Elements Dragon has five poisons all over its body. Whether it is fish scales or internal organs, fish meat or fish bones, they can all be exchanged for money.

"Wait a moment, senior. I will cut the fish for you right away!"

The water official wiped his hands. The strange thing was that he had not touched the fish just now, but his hands seemed to smell like fish.

Tian Lin frowned, stopped his hand from reaching for the knife, and summoned the flying sword to cut open the fish's belly.

He waved his right hand, and all the internal organs in the fish fell into the iron basin beside him.

Without the help of the water official, Tian Lin shaved off the fish gills and scales and threw them into the basin.

The water officer then took the fish and weighed it, and finally said, "Senior, do you want the fish meat? If not, you can sell it to us for two taels of spirit stones."

Tian Lin took a look at the corpse of the two-headed fish. The prompt indicated that although this thing was not a good thing, it could improve eyesight and replenish water energy.

This is much stronger than the spiritual energy others get from eating spiritual rice.

"If I remember correctly, the meat of the two-headed fish is inedible, right? What do you want to do with it?"

Upon hearing this, the water officer immediately explained:
"Although the meat of the two-headed fish is poisonous, the toxicity is not incurable. You only need to spend money to buy some medicine to remove most of the poison. The rest is nothing more than diarrhea and you'll be fine."

He said: "Strong men like you and the children of noble families naturally don't need to eat two-headed fish to replenish their spiritual energy. But for those untouchables, two-headed fish is the only spiritual meat they can afford."

Tian Lin suddenly realized, and said: "I can sell you the organs, but I want to take the meat of the two-headed fish back to eat myself."

The water officer thought he had heard it wrong and did not move for a while.

Tian Lin directly put the body of the two-headed fish back into the storage bag and asked the water official: "After you weigh the fish scales and internal organs, how many spirit stones do you plan to give me?"

If it were an ordinary fisherman, the water official would naturally lower the price.

But Tian Lin was a foundation-building cultivator, and also a donor to the Tong family, so he naturally did not dare to embezzle the spirit stones.

The ten or so pounds of internal organs and more than eight pounds of fish scales were converted into a total of twenty-six low-grade spirit stones.

Being able to obtain twenty-six low-grade spirit stones by fishing, I have to say, this result is already very good.

But Tian Lin was not satisfied with this, and he decided to go deeper into the sea tomorrow.
