Chapter 173: Corpse Recoverer
Chapter 173: Corpse Recoverer
Seeing that Tian Lin had no intention of competing for the position of outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, Cui'er and Yu'er felt disappointed.
It is often said in the secular world that "when one person achieves enlightenment, all the people around him will benefit from it", and this is also true in the world of cultivation.
Aren't the fates of these sword-wielding maids tied to their masters?
At night, Tian Lin continued to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique, and the two sisters naturally went back to their room to rest.
Cui'er picked up the pen, quickly wrote a line of words on the table, and handed it to Yu'er.
Seeing Cui'er's indignant look, Yu'er felt helpless.
She wrote back:
"The mansion sent us to the master, and they didn't intend to let us go back. Besides, we fought for the master's place, so how could there be any room for the two of us to sit in the Tong Mansion?"
The two of them have now learned to communicate using writing, so as to avoid being eavesdropped by outsiders or even Tian Lin.
"Then we will follow this old man fishing for the rest of our lives? He himself doesn't even have the money to buy the Water God Pill, so how can he help us build our foundation?"
Cui'er finished replying on the paper, but Yu'er did not take the pen. Instead, she said, "Maybe this is our fate."
After saying this, she urged the energy in her palm, and the paper in her hand instantly turned into ashes.
Cui'er's expression was just like the ashes burned by the flames, full of despair.
Life?
Should you accept a bad fate?
-
The next morning, when Tian Lin went out, he saw Gao He and Cai Shu had changed their clothes.
Although the two were still wearing their usual clothes, they had two more saddle bags.
When Tian Lin went out, Gao He was still playing with something like a Si Nan in his hand.
When Tian Lin appeared, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, from now on we will also become the 'fishermen' of Chenxiantang."
Tian Lin's eyes were more focused on the 'Si Nan' in his hand, and he asked him, "What kind of magic weapon is that in your hand, fellow Taoist?"
"This is the Soul Finger Needle. I borrowed it from a soul cultivator friend. It can sense resentful souls within a mile without using spiritual awareness."
Tian Lin was shocked and couldn't help but take another look at the soul-fingering needle.
He ate the True Eye Fruit and could see the resentful spirits without any spiritual sense.
But those who have not eaten the True Eye Fruit, unless they are Jindan cultivators, can only rely on their spiritual consciousness to detect the resentful souls.
However, spiritual consciousness will be hindered in the fog and it is easy to be attacked when looking outside, so most foundation-building cultivators will not easily use their spiritual consciousness to look outside.
"Fellow Daoist Gao really has friends all over the world. I admire him."
Tian Lin was complimenting him, and Gao He accepted it calmly, saying, "Money, friends, Dharma, and land are all indispensable. Fellow Daoist Tian, you should make more friends."
At this time, Cai Shu urged Gao He, "Hurry up and leave. If you go too late, the resentful souls will be taken away."
The two of them walked very quickly, leaving Tian Lin behind and following slowly behind.
When Tian Lin arrived at Chenxiantang, he had already seen more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators.
These foundation-building monks may not all be the Tong family's followers, but they all hold soul-gathering beads in their hands.
In addition to these foundation-building cultivators, there were also many people with Qi-refining cultivation who had received the Soul-Gathering Pearls and were discussing about going out to sea together.
Looking at the densely packed group of cultivators, Tian Lin knew that this was the Shuiyun Sect taking action.
Only if Shuiyun Sect had spread the word would so many cultivators run to Chenxiantang to take risks for the sake of profit.
Tian Lin guessed that many people would die in Shenxiantang.
But he also firmly believed that for a long time to come, more and more monks would gather in Chenxiantang.
Looking at the grand occasion of "thousands of people going out to sea", Tian Lin was not in a hurry to join in.
He arrived at the teahouse and looked at Zhang Xiaoke who was greeting him and said, "Are you not going to fish anymore?"
Zhang Xiaoke smiled bitterly and said, "Why go fishing? People like us can't even afford talisman paper, so how can we dare to go out to sea?"
Tian Lin smiled and said, "Selling things here may not make less money than fishing. In my opinion, more and more people will gather here in the future, and there will be many opportunities to earn spiritual stones on the shore."
As he spoke, he squatted in front of Zhang Xiaoke's stall, which consisted of a felt mat placed on the ground, on which were placed various medicine bottles and some talisman papers that had been found from nowhere.
"Is there anything you want, Senior? You can take any one of your own."
After Zhang Xiaoke finished his polite words, Tian Linzhen picked up a small jade bottle.
He wiped the dust off the cork with his fingers, then opened the small jade bottle and put it to his nose to sniff.
The young man next to Zhang Xiaoke had an unpleasant expression on his face, because the medicine in the bottle that Tian Lin took was not cheap.
But Zhang Xiaoke had just made such a big statement. If Tian Lin was really shameless and refused to pay, what could they say and what could they dare to say?
"What is this? Why haven't I seen it in the alchemy shop in Pingyang City?"
Tian Lin asked, and Zhang Xiaoke explained:
"These are all brought by the monks who recently entered Pingyang City. They are called the Soul-Restoring Pills. You can use these pills to restore your soul after being attacked by evil spirits.
Although you are a foundation-building cultivator, you can actually carry a few with you. After all, there might be wandering gods in this thick fog. "
According to the classification of resentful souls by soul cultivators, the most common one is the wandering soul, followed by the night wandering god and then the day wandering god.
Generally, cultivators would equate wandering souls with Qi-refining practitioners, but in fact, Qi-refining practitioners who have never practiced the method of exorcising evil spirits can easily get hurt when encountering wandering souls.
The Night Wandering God is a more powerful being than the Wandering Soul, and corresponds to the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"You have a point. In this thick fog, there's no guarantee that we'll run into night-wandering gods or day-wandering gods."
Tian Lin thought of the pleasure boat he saw that day, and the Sect Master Xun on the boat. According to Tian Lin's guess, Sect Master Xun has now become a night wandering god.
"There are only these two pills?"
Tian Lin put the stopper back in place and asked Zhang Xiaoke, "I don't know how much this elixir costs?"
Zhang Xiaoke waved his hand and said, "Since Xiaoke said that it was a gift to you, Senior, how can I accept your spirit stones?"
Tian Lin said: "Since you call me senior, how can I take advantage of you? Besides, you are in need of spirit stones right now."
What Tian Lin said was referring to Zhang Xiaoke's attempt to earn spirit stones to redeem his snail shell.
"I received this elixir from a soul cultivator. Senior, just give me three spirit stones."
After Zhang Xiaoke finished speaking, Tian Lin did not hesitate and directly took out three spirit stones from his storage bag and gave them to Zhang Xiaoke.
He certainly didn't buy this elixir to repair his soul after being attacked.
It is because the entry shows that this is the auxiliary elixir 'Tian Yi Sheng Shui Dan' for practicing Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue.
What kind of magical power is "Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue"?
Tian Lin had looked up the method of practicing the Five Elements Golden Elixir Technique and knew that in addition to the Water God Technique, there was also the "Tian Yi Sheng Shui Technique" that could be used to cultivate the Five Elements Dharmakaya.
Tian Lin couldn't find the ingredients that could produce the [Water God Pill], so he hadn't practiced the Water God Technique.
But now that he has obtained the 'Tian Yi Sheng Shui Dan', he wants to practice the Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue to achieve the water-walking Dharmakaya.
"It's just that this Tianyisheng Water Art is the magical power of Shuiyun Sect. Shuiyun Sect is not short of money, so how could it be possible to sell this magical power to outsiders?"
Tian Lin took out the soul-gathering bead from his storage bag.
He had no interest in becoming an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, but was very interested in Shuiyun Sect's "Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue".
I just don't know if Shuiyun Sect would be willing to do it if the opportunity to become an outer disciple is exchanged for the "Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue"?
“In fact, the Daoist Sect also has a magical power similar to the “Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue”, but it’s a pity that it’s useless without the auxiliary elixir that I can take.
Although this Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue is a magical spell, it is not the secret method of Shui Yun Sect. I may be able to make some plans."
Tian Lin made up his mind and finally released the flying boat and sailed towards the west.
He had no intention of fishing today, nor did he come here just to catch resentful spirits.
He just wanted to see what the current situation in Shenxiantang was like.
Along the way, the coastal area was not crowded with ships, but there were also hundreds of boats competing for the current.
Many foundation-building monks were full of confidence and headed straight for the distant sea in the south.
Looking at the Qi-refining practitioners who occasionally passed by him, Tian Lin's eyes turned and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
When he went fishing in the past, he never brought his storage bag with him because he was afraid that he would lose it while fighting with the fish monster.
This does not mean that you cannot go into the sea with a storage bag.
Tian Lin wanted to take the storage bag with him, not to go into the sea to fight the fish monster, but because he thought of the uncommon profession of "corpse retriever".
"Even if these cultivators don't have any magic weapons, they still have one or two pieces of talisman paper. And these talisman papers can also be sold for a lot of spirit stones.
They fell into the water, and others did not dare to salvage them in Chenxiantang. But since I am not afraid of the water in Chenxiantang, why don’t I pick up the bodies in the sea? "
Now that Tian Lin had an idea in his mind, he took a boat to a distant place.
He simply put his boat back into the storage bag, and sank into the sea along with the storage bag.
In Chenxiantang, in the western sea area, there are more fish monsters than before.
Tian Lin looked at the fish monsters vigilantly, fearing that they would attack him.
These fish monsters are like steel knives from their tail fin to their dorsal fin, and can easily cut through people's clothes and skin.
Tian Lin only had one piece of precious clothing on him, but he had two storage bags.
But whether it was clothes or storage bags being torn by the fish monster, it would be a huge loss.
"Next time I have a chance, I can actually apply some medicine on my body!"
When Tian Lin went out to sea, he applied medicine on the thousand-year-old tree. This medicine made fish monsters feel disgusted and stay away from it. Applying it on the thousand-year-old tree can prevent the tree from being attacked.
However, no one has ever applied it on themselves, because it is poisonous after all.
Tian Lin was not afraid of the poison. Instead, he was worried that the poison would not stay on his skin for long and would be completely absorbed by his body.
This time, he quietly went to the sea.
However, fish monsters such as the two-headed fish never go near the sea.
Finally, Tian Lin had not been swimming under the sea for long when he heard a splash.
He vaguely saw a figure falling directly into the lake from a wooden boat not far away.
Tian Lin swam towards the figure without any hesitation.
On the sea, there was a middle-aged man with a pale face, as if he was possessed by evil spirits.
His body continued to sink, and an iron sword fell to the bottom of the sea with him.
Next to this middle-aged man, there was a 'soul-finding needle' and a small medicine bottle that kept falling down.
Tian Lin was unable to release his spiritual consciousness in the sea, let alone rely on it to control the storage bag.
Fortunately, the things the man dropped were not many and not big, so Tian Lin just reached out and grabbed the iron sword that fell with the man, along with the soul-finding needle and the small medicine bottle.
After getting the things, Tian Lin kicked his feet and climbed directly onto the thousand-year-old wooden boat that the middle-aged man had "left behind".
