Chapter 174 Let the Maids Set Up Stalls
Chapter 174 Let the Maids Set Up Stalls
The thousand-year-old wooden boat swayed slightly on the sea. Tian Lin sat down firmly, put the soul-finding needle aside, and shook off the water stains on the medicine bottle.
He opened the bottle stopper and found that the porcelain bottle contained a pill that he did not recognize.
The hint of this pill is that it is an auxiliary pill for the "Kai Yang Zeng Shou Shu".
Tian Lin now possesses the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill, and what he really needs is the ability to cultivate the Five Elements Dharmakaya.
He was really not interested in this technique of increasing longevity through Kaiyang.
He counted the three pills in the medicine bottle and put them into his storage bag to sell.
Just as he picked up the Soul-Pointing Needle, the spoon handle on the needle suddenly twisted to the southwest, making a "clang clang" sound.
Tian Lin frowned. He saw that this soul-fingering needle was slightly different from the one in Gao He's hand.
But what should be certain is that, although this Soul-Pointing Needle is not as good as the one in Gao He's hand, it definitely has the effect of 'pointing the soul'.
Sure enough, in the fog three meters away, a wandering soul was floating towards him three inches above the river surface.
Tian Lin was stunned, looking at the wandering soul, feeling a sense of ridiculousness of being caught.
He had just stolen the middle-aged corpse's belongings, and the middle-aged man turned into a wandering ghost and came to his door.
Looking at the wandering soul approaching him, Tian Lin calmly took the middle-aged man's soul-gathering bead in his palm and pointed his finger to drive the flying sword towards the middle-aged man.
The flying sword instantly penetrated the wandering soul, but it only made the soul's body dim a little.
Tian Lin frowned slightly, and while controlling the wooden boat under his feet to move towards the sea, he controlled the flying sword to smash the wandering soul into pieces.
Finally, when the wandering soul's body completely disintegrated, Tian Lin took out the soul-gathering bead and collected the remaining soul into the soul-gathering bead.
The soul-gathering bead now had an extra layer of white mist than at the beginning.
The mist in the beads rolls and expands like clouds, which is quite interesting at first glance.
Tian Lin put the soul-gathering bead back into the storage bag, but turned his gaze towards the people on the two boats ahead.
Although it was said that there were two boats of people, in fact one boat was larger and carried three Qi Refiners.
The other boat was slightly smaller and carried a Qi Refiner.
The two boats were facing each other. The young man, who was alone, brightened his eyes when he saw Tian Lin. He clasped his fists and said to Tian Lin:
"Senior, these three soul cultivators are really abominable. They don't dare to deal with the wandering souls themselves, so they attack their own kind, wanting to kill people and steal treasures - please save me, senior."
The young man was very respectful and obviously regarded Tian Lin as his life-saving straw.
The three soul cultivators over there were also quite wary of Tian Lin. The young man in the lead stepped forward and also bowed to Tian Lin at the bow:
"A disciple of Xiaoxu Temple greets you, Senior. May I ask for your honorific title?"
Tian Lin said frankly:
"I am a worshiper of the Tong family, and I don't know which mountain your Xiaoxu Temple is from. But your people from Xiaoxu Temple came to my Tong family's territory and blatantly killed people. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
He really didn't want to get involved in other people's disputes, but at this moment he saw the figure of the Great Elder appearing on the boat, so he had to say such a polite remark.
The three soul cultivators were about to speak when the great elder who came over by boat said coldly:
"The Tong family sent you soul cultivators to Chenxiantang not to cause trouble;
If you bring up the name of your Xiaoxu Temple again to scare my Tong family's worshiper, I will personally go to Xiaoxu Temple to visit your Qinghe Patriarch without my Tong family's ancestor taking action."
The Great Elder's voice was deafening and could actually break one's soul.
Not only did Tian Lin's face turn pale, but the three soul cultivators on the boat over there lost their balance and fell onto the boat.
The three soul cultivators managed to steady themselves with great difficulty and did not let themselves fall into the Shenxian Pond.
They didn't dare to mention Xiaoxu Temple anymore. They bowed to the Great Elder and Tian Lin and rowed away.
The young man who had asked Tian Lin for help earlier also thanked Tian Lin and the great elder, then rowed away from the sea area.
"Mr. Tian has a foundation-building skill, why doesn't he go to the south?"
After the great elder invited Tian Lin to board the boat, he asked a question.
There was more than one person standing on his boat. In addition to two sword-holding men at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, there was also an old man sitting in the cabin.
Tian Lin took a look at the old man and found that although he was dressed as a servant, his clothes, which were not gorgeous, were decorated with cloud patterns and gold bead buttons.
Tian Lin bowed to the servant who was in the early stage of foundation building, and then said to the great elder:
"I have just entered the foundation-building stage. I am good at dealing with Qi-refining practitioners, but I am not strong enough to deal with these wandering souls. So I decided not to go to the south to join in the fun."
After hearing Tian Lin's words, the elder thought for a moment and nodded:
"Since you have no intention of going to the south to deal with wandering souls, you might as well help me deal with those wandering cultivators on Chenxiantang. In order to resist wandering souls at sea, our Tong family has let a lot of people into Chenxiantang -
When there are too many of these people, it is inevitable that they will be a mixed bag and difficult to manage.”
After he finished speaking, he promised Tian Lin: "I don't need you to stay here for twelve hours. I just need you to patrol the sea a few times every day. I can give you ten medium-grade spirit stones every month." This was an easy thing to do, so Tian Lin agreed immediately.
The Great Elder still had to patrol the distant sea, but Tian Lin had already planned to go ashore.
As they were about to part, Tian Lin thought for a moment and asked the Great Elder:
"My cultivation is too low, I am afraid I can't get a place as an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect. I wonder what else Shuiyun Sect can get in exchange for the residual soul in the Soul Gathering Pearl besides the place of outer disciples?"
The Great Elder said: "As long as your Soul Gathering Pearl has collected enough residual souls, why should you worry about Shuiyun Sect being stingy with your rewards?"
Tian Lin stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "I want the Shuiyun Sect's Tianyisheng Water Art. Will the Shuiyun Sect give it to me?"
The great elder laughed loudly and said:
"The Tianyisheng Water Art is not a Taoist technique, so how could the Shuiyun Sect be stingy? But if you want the Tianyisheng Water Art, my Tong family may be able to help you get it.
But the Shuiyun Sect will never give you the formula for the auxiliary pill of Tianyisheng Water Art."
He seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help looking at Tian Lin and said, "Do you have the formula for Tian Yi Sheng Shui Dan?"
Tian Lin shook his head and denied it: "That's not the case. How can I, a Huahualang, get the formula for the auxiliary pill of Tianyi Sheng Shui Jue? The elder is joking."
The Great Elder did not comment, but just said: “Although Tian Yisheng Water Art is a top-grade magical art, compared to Water God Art, Water God Art is more suitable for Hua Hualang to practice.
Unless you, Tian Gongsheng, can eat the Tianyisheng Water Pill as candy, it will be difficult to cultivate a water-walking Dharmakaya even if you have the pill formula."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
The formula of Tianyi Sheng Shui Dan is not unique to Shuiyun Sect, but why is it that only disciples of Shuiyun Sect can practice this technique?
This is because the medicinal materials needed for the recipe of this medicine are basically controlled by the Shuiyun Sect.
The Shuiyun Sect does not engage in the business of selling medicinal materials. Even if someone has the recipe and barely collects all the required medicinal materials, how many Tianyishenshui pills can be refined at one time?
"What the Great Elder said is right. I have nothing now and cannot even afford the Water God Pill. The Tian Yi Sheng Water Art is indeed too far away for me."
Tian Lin bowed to the great elder, took out the wooden boat from the storage bag again and rowed ashore.
At this time, the shore near the sea was extremely lively, with thousands of stalls of all sizes extending from east to west.
Looking at the people coming and going, picking out pills, talismans and magic tools between the stalls, Tian Lin returned to his house in Pingyang City without saying a word.
When he returned to the house, he saw Zhong'er and Cui'er talking next door.
When Zhong'er saw Tian Lin coming back, he quickly greeted Tian Lin and left.
After Zhong'er left, Tian Lin asked Yu'er who had come into the room, "What was your sister talking about with her?"
Yu'er did not hide anything and said, "Zhong'er said that her master was not ambitious and only knew how to make pills all day long. This great opportunity to enter the Shuiyun Sect was given up by her grandfather."
Tian Lin couldn't help but say, "Master Long is an alchemist, and usually earns a lot of spirit stones. Master Long dotes on her so much, isn't she satisfied?"
Yu'er said: "As a sword bearer, there is no such thing as satisfaction. I always hope that the master I follow can become stronger, so that I can not only surpass other sword bearers, but also my own immortal path will be smoother."
The saying that birds fly high when they follow the phoenix is absolutely true.
Tian Lin washed his hands in the house, and Cui'er also came in from outside.
Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "I am not as good as Master Long Dan at earning spirit stones. I'm sure you are also scolding me behind my back."
Yu'er said hurriedly: "The maids dare not."
"I don't dare, so it's not impossible?"
Tian Lin didn't wait for Yu'er to explain and simply said:
"You said you wanted to go with me to Shenxiantang to kill wandering souls, but that's too dangerous, and I don't have the heart to fight for the quota of Shuiyun Sect's outer disciples;
Therefore, there is no need to mention the killing of wandering souls in Chenxiantang, but you can sell things on the coast of Chenxiantang."
Yu'er heard this and said, "Master, are you saying that we should open a shop to sell talisman paper, magic tools or elixirs?"
"It costs too much to open a shop, and I can't get much supply. So, you just need to take a blanket and sell some inconspicuous things on the shore every day to earn some spirit stones."
Cui Er was shocked when she heard this and couldn't help asking, "Isn't that a peddler?"
Tian Lin glanced at Cui'er and thought to himself, how could Bao Jian's status be more noble than that of a peddler?
He just didn't have enough time, otherwise he would have come forward to sell the stolen goods himself.
"What do you think?"
Tian Lin glanced at Yu'er and Cui'er. Yu'er thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know much about the market situation. If you are not in a hurry, please let me go to Chenxiantang first to see how the vendors sell their goods."
Tian Lin said: "I won't let you work for nothing. Anyway, if you earn some spirit stones, I will remember your kindness."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent the two sisters away.
“What the Great Elder said is correct. Since you are at the foundation-building stage, you should go south.
There are more foundation-building cultivators in the south, and the relics salvaged by then will be stronger than those left by Qi-refining cultivators."
