Chapter 164: Soul-Replenishing Powder in the Deep Sea

Chapter 164: Soul-Replenishing Powder in the Deep Sea

When Tian Lin returned to the house, the small wounds on his body caused by the scratches of the two-headed fish's scales had almost healed.

At this time, Yu'er came up and asked Tian Lin, "Master, how are you today?"

Tian Lin said: "I hunted a two-headed fish, which is not a small profit."

As he spoke, he went to the kitchen first and threw the body of the two-headed fish into a large barrel.

Looking at the two-headed fish stuffed in the big wooden barrel, Yu'er couldn't help but exclaim, and even Cui'er ran into the kitchen.

Several maids pointed at the fish. Yu'er, who was standing next to Tian Lin, couldn't help but asked in disbelief, "Did you catch this fish today, Master?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "I am lucky to have caught one."

"The organs and scales of this two-headed fish can be sold for more than twenty spirit stones, right?
Although it is only one-third of what a talisman maker earns in a day, it is still a lot."

After Yu'er finished speaking, several maids in the kitchen, including Cui'er, all looked at Tian Lin with a new respect.

They came from the Tong family and have always been arrogant.

But Tian Lin's performance in the past two days has disappointed them to some extent. They think that this old man is stingy and has no ability. Following Tian Lin, there is really no future for them.

But now Tian Lin has given them a surprise. As long as Tian Lin can earn spirit stones, their lives and face will be much better in the future.

"That water official probably wouldn't dare to embezzle my spirit stones, so I got 26 low-grade spirit stones this time."

Tian Lin did not hide anything. Yu'er nodded and said with a smile, "Master, you are tired. Take a bath and wash off the dust first. The maids will cook for you right away."

Tian Lin said, "Today's meal is still Shuiling rice. As for the vegetable - from now on, make me this two-headed fish meat."

Yu'er's smile froze, and she followed Tian Lin out of the house. She said behind Tian Lin, "Master, you don't know that two-headed fish are poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Tian Lin said without even turning his head: "I asked the water officer, and he said there is an antidote for this two-headed fish. As long as you take the antidote, the worst you'll get is diarrhea."

After watching Tian Lin go back into the house, Yu'er turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The two maids really didn't know what to say, so they could only stamp their feet and complain: "Miss Yu'er, tell me, how do we cook such a big fish?"

Cui Er also said, "He can't bear to eat the spirit meat, so he doesn't need to eat the two-headed fish, right? I heard that these are eaten by fishermen who don't have money to buy spirit meat and spirit rice.

Even if you are not from a noble family or a good family, you will not be reluctant to spend spirit stones to buy this kind of fish meat. "

Yu'er knew that the foundation-building cultivators were powerful, and was afraid that Cui'er's words would be heard by Tian Lin and would anger Tian Lin again.

She glared at her sister and said, "You just do whatever the master tells you to do. When is it the servants' turn to make decisions for the master?"

She was the head maid assigned to Tian Lin. Apart from Tian Lin, she was the one who made the decisions in the house.

Now that she has spoken, who dares to object?

In the evening, steamed fish was served, and Tian Lin found it particularly delicious.

Yu'er, who was picking fish bones for Tian Lin, saw that Tian Lin was distracted, but did not say anything.

"By the way, does the Tong family's ancestor often go back to Pingyang City?"

Tian Lin was still thinking about Tong Yao during the day. He knew that Tong Yao had no intention of killing him, but when he faced Tong Yao today, the feeling of wanting to kneel down involuntarily made him feel resistant and insecure.

"The old ancestor has only stayed in the countryside of Pingyang City this year. In the past, he has been in seclusion in the county town of Tianbei County or Shuiyun Sect."

At this point, Yu'er couldn't help but ask Tian Lin, "Master, what do you want to say when you ask about the news of our ancestors?"

Tian Lin shook his head.

He thought that today Tong Yao was the only one who brought a little girl out to sea, and there was no one to serve her.

Moreover, Tong Yao returned to Pingyang City, but did not live in the city. Instead, she lived in seclusion in a remote and deserted countryside.

I guess she doesn't like being disturbed and doesn't want people to know her whereabouts.

"If you want to see the old ancestor, maybe you can wait until the end of the year when the old ancestor celebrates his birthday and see if there is a chance to meet him."

She said: "With the guidance of the ancestor, the master's Water God Technique will definitely improve. As long as another 100 or 200 years pass, it is not impossible to reach the middle stage of foundation building."

Tian Lin felt like he was being cursed by her, so he smiled and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I didn't have much money in the past two days, but now I can finally earn some spiritual stones by fishing. So you don't have to eat ordinary rice anymore, just eat the spiritual rice in the courtyard, and buy more when it's not enough."

Tian Lin has been eating the spiritual rice given by the Tong family. The water spiritual rice can help him increase his sword power, but the fire spiritual rice and gold spiritual rice have no special effects.

He now only eats water-rich rice, and the remaining rice is not easy to sell.

Besides, how much money can he save by tightening his belt?

There is no way to save up dozens of high-quality spirit stones by tightening one's belt and tightening one's belt.

Upon hearing this, Yu'er hurriedly thanked him. She did not dare to be reserved in front of Tian Lin, fearing that Tian Lin would take advantage of the situation and really save the food they had.

The next morning, Tian Lin went out early again and ran into Gao He and a young woman at the entrance of the alley.

Although the young woman Tian Lin was a stranger, it was not difficult to guess her identity.

Tian Lin and Gao He bowed and said, "Are you two neighbors going out?"

Gao He first introduced Tian Lin's identity to his wife, and then he said:

"It's almost the end of the month. My husband and I are going to sell the talisman papers we drew this month to Duobao Pavilion to exchange for spirit stones so that we can buy the magic pills we need for next month."

After he finished speaking, he asked Tian Lin, "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​are you going out to sea to fish?"

Seeing Tian Lin nod, he asked again, "I heard that there are not many fish monsters in Chenxian Pond. I wonder if Brother Tian Daoist has caught any fish?"

"We had a small harvest yesterday, but it's still not as good as the virtuous couple. I'm afraid you two must have earned a lot of spirit stones this month, right?"

Gao He seemed to have found an itch. He stroked his beard and said complacently, "This month is better than last month. I should be able to exchange for dozens of medium-grade spirit stones. Then, I can go to Zuixianju for a good meal again."

His wife seemed to have a rather aloof personality, or she simply didn't want to waste time chatting with old man Tian Lin.

She tugged at Gao He's sleeve, and Gao He immediately bowed to Tian Lin and said, "Then I wish that Fellow Daoist Tian has a full ship and full cargo space on this trip."

Tian Lin bowed and thanked them, and after the couple left, he also left the city.

When he arrived at Chenxiantang, the fishermen had gotten up earlier than him and had already hoisted the sails high.

Tian Lin saw Zhang Xiaoke standing on the shore, walked over and said, "The fog seems to be thicker today."

Zhang Xiaoke couldn't help but feel puzzled: "In previous years, such fog could only be seen in the open sea, but in the past six months, this kind of fog has often appeared in the coastal waters. And this fog always feels a little wrong."

Tian Lin couldn't see anything wrong with the fog at this time.

He summoned a small boat, hoisted the sail and went out to sea first.

This time he avoided the fog in the west. Firstly, he was a little afraid of the fog that came from unknown sources. Secondly, in order to avoid meeting Tong Yao again, he simply chose another sea area that he had not visited yesterday.

He had made full preparations for this trip, vowing to earn more spirit stones than yesterday.

Therefore, whenever he encountered small fish, he would let them go easily.

After more than an hour, he finally saw a two-headed fish that was smaller than the one he saw yesterday.

Tian Lin jumped down naked without hesitation, and stabbed the harpoon and wooden sword into the eyes of the two-headed fish.

The two-headed fish struggled hard and dived into the deep sea.

Tian Lin bulged his eyes, held on to the hilt of the sword and the fork tightly, and sank into the deep sea along with the two-headed fish.

In the deep sea, more and more two-headed fish appeared, and even some sea fish that could not be seen on the sea surface occasionally swam past Tian Lin.

Tian Lin was already feeling anxious, as he could only use less than 10% of his abilities in this sea.

If he fails to get rid of the two-headed fish quickly and is besieged by other sea fish, he won't be able to use the wind-walking technique to escape in the sea.

He made up his mind and grabbed the dorsal fin of the two-headed fish with his hands as claws.

This dorsal fin, which was as sharp as a knife, was unable to defend against Tian Lin's great strength under his claws.

Suddenly, blood appeared in the sea, and no one knew whether it was from the two-headed fish or Tian Lin.

As the dorsal fin of the two-headed fish was pulled off by Tian Lin, the two-headed fish instantly lost its balance and its body flipped sideways in the sea.

Tian Lin was delighted and grabbed the harpoon to pull the pectoral fin of the two-headed fish again.

This time he failed to pull off the pectoral fin. Instead, he turned the two-headed fish's swimming direction as if he was controlling a draft horse, and swam diagonally upwards.

The fish rushed left and right, and it took a quarter of an hour before it died completely.

Tian Lin gathered his true energy so that it would not be released, and he could also use his feet to push out with great force.

He held the fish's body and swam upwards.

But soon he frowned again, and while floating his body, Tian Lin lowered his head and looked down.

He didn't notice it at first, but now he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the entry.

It was originally the [Golden Spirit Foundation Building Pool], but now in his eyes it has become the [Golden Spirit Foundation Building Pool] [Soul Replenishing Powder, a magic pill that can enhance spiritual consciousness, edible].

Although there were two entries, Tian Lin did not see where [Soul-Replenishing Powder] was.

Besides, Tian Lin knew too well how precious the Soul-Replenishing Powder was.

Because this thing is a kind of elixir that can only be purchased in the middle stage of foundation building, its value is much more expensive than the top-grade elixir Water God Pill, and not everyone can afford it.

"There is something that cannot be dissolved by the seawater in Chenxiantang. What is it?"

Tian Lin didn't dare to think too much at this time.

He didn't know whether this [Soul-Replenishing Powder] also existed in the deep sea of ​​Chenxiantang a thousand years ago.

The only thing Tian Lin was sure of was that there was no [Soul-Replenishing Powder] in the water on the sea surface.

So, this thing must have emerged from the bottom of the sea.

Tian Lin swam on the seabed for almost half an hour, and finally surfaced exhausted.

He called a small boat, climbed onto it, and salvaged the body of the two-headed fish into the storage bag.

"First, Nine-Life Immortal went to the sea to make trouble, and then Tong Yao went out to sea. I'm afraid that Shenxiantang will not be peaceful in the future."

Tian Lin thought of the [Soul-Replenishing Powder] in the deep sea again, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

Although he has not yet reached the time when he needs to practice Dharma, he is not in a hurry to take the [Soul-Replenishing Powder].

But how great is the temptation of being able to enhance spiritual awareness?

It’s a pity that although he saw the entry in the deep sea, he didn’t see what [Soul-Replenishing Powder] was.

It seems that the only way to absorb [Soul-Replenishing Powder] is to drink a lot of sea water in the deep sea.

But if you drink sea water this way, how much [Soul-Replenishing Powder] can you consume in one meal?
Tian Lin felt that this method was not very reliable. The most important thing was that the deep sea was too dangerous compared to the sea surface.

In the afternoon, Tian Lin still didn't dare to go into the deep sea.

Fortunately, there is always light in the west. Although he was unable to use the [Soul-Replenishing Powder] for a while, he caught two more two-headed fish.
