Chapter 177 The Seventh Young Master is Dead
In the afternoon, Tian Lin gave the soul-gathering bead that Jiang had offered to the Great Elder in exchange for forty mid-grade spirit stones.
Whether this set of soul beads would be shelved by the Great Elder or given to a member of the Tong family in private was no longer something Tian Lin could control.
He did not reveal the two soul-gathering beads in the fifth young master's hand, and the two soul-gathering beads in the hand of another foundation-building cultivator.
Tian Lin planned to keep these three soul-gathering beads for himself and see if he could use them to exchange for the Tian Yi Sheng Water Art in the future.
Coming out from the Great Elder's place, Yu'er couldn't help but said with some worry:
"Master, you have offended the Seventh Young Master, and he is a very niggardly person. What should we do?"
Tian Lin said: "My safety is fine, but you and Cui'er should be careful.
This Seventh Young Master may not openly cause trouble for me, but he may very well order his men to bully you with swords in hand."
Tian Lin’s words came true, and Yu’er was injured the next morning.
Cui Er complained angrily, “That Shi Jian deliberately made trouble, saying that the pills we sold her were fake.
Not only did they smash our stall, but they also injured my sister."
Tian Lin thought for a moment and said to Cui'er, "You and your sister don't need to set up the stall these two days. Just rest in the house first."
Cui'er, who used to be unwilling to work as a peddler, was now reluctant and unwilling to leave.
She and her sister sold things for Tian Lin, and Tian Lin was quite generous in rewarding them.
At the end of the night, she and her sister could earn more than ten low-grade spirit stones.
However, Cui'er also knew that this was not the time to lose her temper.
She could only sulk in her heart, listened to Tian Lin, and took Yu'er back to Pingyang City obediently.
This went on for two or three days, but Tian Lin didn't get any relics of the foundation-building cultivators, nor did he let Yu'er and Cui'er come to Chenxiantang to sell things.
The maid named Shijian, unable to find any trouble with Yu'er and Cui'er, had no choice but to go boating on the sea with the Seventh Young Master to catch wandering souls.
She and her servant did not dare to go near the open sea for several days, so the harvest was inevitably less.
Finally one day, the master and servant could not wait any longer, so they set sail on their boat towards the distant sea.
There are few people in the distant sea, and no other cultivators can be seen within a mile.
After the master and servant killed a wandering soul, they finally felt a little tired. They heard the Seventh Young Master say to Shi Jian, "Hold the Soul-Finding Needle. I will sit down and rest for a while."
Shi Jian stood at the bow holding a lantern, looking around vigilantly with the soul-finding needle in his hand.
Not long after, both the master and the servant heard a series of knocking sounds coming from the bottom of the boat.
The Seventh Young Master frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "If I remember correctly, our boat is smeared with medicine, right?"
Shi Jian's face turned pale, and she said to the Seventh Young Master, "I remember clearly that this boat was smeared with medicine, and all the sea fish will not attack our boat.
Besides, there are very few marine fish in this southern area."
Another knocking sound was heard, and the faces of both the master and the servant changed.
"Even the Sun God would not dare to touch this Shenxian Pond. Could there be a water monster under this boat that is more powerful than the Sun God?"
The Seventh Young Master ordered Shi Jian urgently, "Quick, start the boat!"
Shi Jian hurriedly hung up the lantern, then picked up the oars and started rowing.
But as soon as the boat moved, the sound of flowing water could be heard in the cabin.
Shi Jian's face changed, she lifted her skirt to take a look, and said in a crying voice: "Master, our boat is leaking."
“How could it have leaked?”
As the Seventh Young Master spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his storage bag.
As he chanted the incantation, a bolt of lightning fell through the hole in the plank.
There was a loud 'boom' and the lightning stirred up a wave of water, which also shook the thousand-year-old wooden boat.
"Master, the boat is leaking even more!"
"Let's change boats!"
After the Seventh Young Master finished speaking, he took out a small boat from his storage bag.
This light boat is smaller than his original thousand-year-old wooden boat and is obviously a spare vessel.
The master and servant had no time to pack up the things on the boat, so they simply changed to a small boat and rowed away.
'dong dong'
The boat had only moved half a mile when knocking sounds were heard again from under the boat.
The Seventh Young Master finally lost the arrogance he had shown in front of Tian Lin a few days ago, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Shi Jian was not a particularly timid person, but being isolated and helpless in the vast ocean, coupled with the wandering souls floating around in the darkness, inevitably increased her fear.
She cried, "It seems like there is a water ghost under the boat, constantly piercing our boat."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Young Master immediately said decisively: "Impossible, what kind of ghost can do evil in Shenxiantang?"
His face turned ruthless, and he suddenly looked at Shi Jian and said, "Shi Jian, go down and take a look."
Shi Jian was startled, and looked at the Seventh Young Master and said, "Young Master, once this Shenxiantang falls into the water, it will never come out again."
The Seventh Young Master said: "You are my sword, so you should obey my will just like my sword, right?
The Tong family trained you, isn't it just to die for me?"
Shi Jian wiped away his tears and could only say, "Master, after I die, will you find a new sword holder?"
The Seventh Young Master was a very honest person. He thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "A noble family like us cannot live without a sword-bearing servant. Don't worry, I will remember your name after you die."
Shi Jian had nothing to say and could only kowtow to the Seventh Young Master at the bow of the boat.
She was still afraid at this time. Looking at the dark sea, her face had already lost all color.
She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth, and dived into the sea.
Under the sea, Tian Lin, who was using an iron spike made of thousand-year-old wood to drill a boat, was stunned.
He threw away the iron spike inlaid with thousand-year-old wood in his hand and looked at Shi Jian who was rushing towards him.
Unfortunately, although Shi Jian was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he couldn't use any strength at all in Chenxian Pond.
He lost control of the flying sword in his hand, and his spiritual consciousness was unable to control the flying sword to stab Tian Lin.
All she could do was stare with her eyes wide open, bubbles gurgling out of her eyes, and she continued to sink.
Upon seeing this, Tian Lin collected Shi Jian's flying sword and swam to Shi Jian to undress her.
He only found a soul-gathering bead and a brocade handkerchief on Shi Jian's body, nothing else.
Tian Lin had no choice but to abandon Shi Jian and swim back to the escaping ship.
He thought Shi Jian had given up struggling, but unexpectedly Shi Jian grabbed his legs tightly and prevented him from chasing the Seventh Young Master.
Tian Lin frowned, turned around, cut off Shi Jian's arm with his flying sword, and continued to swim towards the Seventh Young Master with Shi Jian's severed hand.
The Seventh Young Master paddled fast, and Tian Lin was chasing him just as fast.
Not long after, Tian Lin appeared again at the bottom of the Seventh Young Master's boat and used his flying sword to directly pierce the hole that had been dug earlier.
On the sea, the boat that the Seventh Young Master was rowing began to sink instantly.
Tian Lin only heard the Seventh Young Master shouting angrily on the boat: "What kind of water ghost is this? Do you dare to come out and fight?"
Tian Lin allowed the Seventh Young Master to become furious and helpless on the boat while he himself moved away from the boat, waiting for the boat and the Seventh Young Master on board to fall into the water.
In Chenxiantang, there is not much difference between foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators.
The Seventh Young Master's true energy can only circulate within his body but cannot pass through it.
He finally saw Tian Lin in the sea.
His eyes widened, flying sword in his hand, and he opened his mouth to yell something.
But every time he opened his mouth, a large amount of sea water would pour in.
However, the sea water in Chenxiantang is poisonous.
Tian Lin guessed that in addition to scolding him, the Seventh Young Master must also want to ask him why he was not afraid of the water in Chenxiantang?
And why would he want to take the life of the Seventh Young Master just because of a small quarrel?
Tian Lin just hugged his chest and watched the Seventh Young Master's body sink deeper and deeper.
It was not until the Seventh Young Master lost the strength to yell and began to lose consciousness that Tian Lin swam forward and took off the storage bag from the Seventh Young Master.
I haven’t checked the Seventh Young Master’s storage bag during this trip.
But just with the two flying swords in hand, Tian Lin’s harvest was quite considerable.
He released the thousand-year-old wood near the sea, returned to the boat and opened the Seventh Young Master's storage bag.
The two top-grade spirit stones and a dozen mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag were particularly conspicuous. In addition, there were some elixirs that Tian Lin did not recognize.
Tian Lin searched again, but apart from a few soul-gathering beads, he did not find the Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue technique. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
“After all, the Tianyisheng Water Art is the magical power of the Shuiyun Sect. Perhaps Tong Yao is the only one in the entire Tong family who has practiced it.
Besides, even if a disciple has practiced the Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue, he may not carry it with him. "
Tian Lin suppressed his disappointment and took out another peach wood sword from his storage bag.
This peach wood sword is not a flying sword, but it can be driven by spiritual consciousness.
The most important thing is that this peach wood sword cannot kill people, but it is quite effective in dealing with evil creatures such as wandering spirits.
Tian Lin stuffed the peach wood sword into his storage bag, and also put everything in the Seventh Young Master's storage bag into his own storage bag.
Over the past few days, together with the relics of the Fifth Young Master and others, he has obtained a total of about eight high-quality spirit stones.
With this calculation, I'm afraid that in less than half a year, I will be able to save enough spirit stones for the teleportation array.
"Unfortunately, the storage bags of the Fifth and Seventh Young Masters both have their logos on them, so it's not easy for Yu'er to sell them."
Tian Lin thought about it and took out Shi Jian's handkerchief.
Shi Jian's brocade handkerchief is also a space-type magic weapon, similar to the handkerchief that Liu Yunjiu gave to Tian Lin in Yulong Continent.
The storage space of the brocade handkerchief is not large, and inside it are some ordinary pills and a few medium-grade spirit stones, which I guess are Shi Jian's assets.
“This handkerchief won’t sell for many spirit stones, so you can give it to Cui’er.
This flying sword, the flying swords of the fifth and seventh young masters are not easy to sell, but the flying sword of Shi Jian has no inscription mark. "
Tian Lin counted the harvest, but was not in a hurry to go ashore. Instead, he put on the clothes of the Seventh Young Master, disguised himself as the Seventh Young Master, and rowed west in full view of everyone.
He took off the Seventh Young Master's clothes in the west, changed back to his original old man's appearance, dived into the sea and swam back to the south, then rowed back to Pingyang City from the south.
The next morning, the news that the Seventh Young Master had not returned home all night spread throughout Pingyang City, and immediately someone from the Tong family came to find Tian Lin.
