Chapter 186 The Inexplicable Child 3
Chapter 186 The Inexplicable Tong Shisan
The rumor about the magical sword has been circulating throughout Pingyang City for ten thousand years.
And the various sects’ understanding of Chenxiantang is no less than what Jian Jue discovered.
Tian Lin immediately thought of the Immortal Binding Rope. It is said that with the Immortal Binding Rope he can find the Immortal Sword.
So what would be the probability of finding the immortal sword without the immortal rope?
And if the immortal sword is found, can the foundation-building cultivator or the golden elixir cultivator really control the immortal sword?
"Everyone, if the Immortal Sword was so easy to obtain, the various Immortal Sects would have sent people to get it long ago. So instead of thinking about the Immortal Sword, why not think about how to kill more evil spirits?"
Tong Shisan suddenly spoke, which woke up many foundation-building cultivators present.
"Young Master Thirteen is right. Even if the immortal sword comes out, it is not something you and I can get hold of. I'd better sail south to kill the evil spirits."
After the foundation-building monk finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and ordered his sword slave to row the boat south.
Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refiners around "disbanded" and left.
Seeing this, Tong Shisan said to those who were leaving, "There are many gods wandering the sea at night. For your own safety, fellow Taoists, it is best not to travel alone."
When faced with a competitor, most people would just hope that the other party would commit suicide.
But Tong Shisan is different. Not only does he not trip up his competitors, he also cares about their safety.
This made those who were jealous of Tong Shisan's family background secretly admire his character.
Tian Lin did not stay here for long at this time, but headed towards the distant sea in the west.
Today, the south side of Chenxiantang is no longer a place where ordinary foundation-building cultivators dare to stay.
Even though Tian Lin wanted to capture the wandering soul, for safety reasons he did not dare to rush into the south.
As we got closer to the open sea, there were fewer and fewer wooden boats on the sea, but more and more wandering souls gathered.
When Tian Lin was near the sea, he often saw wandering souls chasing monks into the sea, and then the monks' corpses floating on the sea.
Therefore, there are more corpse retrievers in the coastal areas, but now this profession has been monopolized by the Tong family.
The Tong family can make a fortune by recovering corpses.
When reaching the far sea, there were so many wandering souls that Qi-refining monks no longer dared to set foot here. Therefore, there were no corpse-recoverers, and no foundation-building monks came here just to retrieve corpses.
When Tian Lin arrived here by boat, he only saw a few foundation-building monks who were taking out talisman papers and wooden swords from time to time in the fog to reap wandering souls.
Seeing two or three wandering souls rushing towards him, Tian Lin did not dare to be careless.
He practiced the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique, and a faint golden light emanated from his entire body.
The Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique is a top-grade magical technique that allows people to switch freely between the "demon path" and the "Buddha path".
Tian Lin is now converting to Buddhism. At this moment, he is like a Buddhist practitioner, radiating Buddha's light all over his body.
Three wandering souls rushed over, and when they encountered the Buddha's light emitted by Tian Lin, they were instantly turned into residual souls.
This move of his attracted the attention of the monk who was fighting with the wandering spirit in the distance.
But everyone was busy exorcising the evil spirits at that time, so no one came forward to talk.
Tian Lin stood on the wooden boat, just waiting for the wandering souls to rush out from the fog. He would then eliminate the wandering souls and use the soul-gathering beads to collect all the remaining souls.
After being so busy for an entire afternoon, he finally had to withdraw from the open sea due to lack of energy.
The Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique consumes a lot of true energy and spiritual consciousness. If Tian Lin's spiritual consciousness was not extraordinary now, he would not be able to hold on until nightfall.
When he returned to the shore of Chenxian Pond, many monks also went back to the shore to rest.
The group of people all looked tired, but their expressions were very excited.
Tian Lin soon spotted Gao He and Cai Shu, and saw Gao He and Tian Lin waving and shouting in front of the teahouse:
"Second brother, come here and rest for a while. At night, it will be the best time to collect residual souls."
Gao He shouted very loudly, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that Tian Lin was his "second brother".
In fact, many people present had already noticed Tian Lin, because Tian Lin was so young.
"Brother, sister-in-law, how did you harvest today?"
Tian Lin stepped forward and bowed to Gao He and Cai Shu, and was invited by Gao He to sit down.
Cai Shu smiled and stood up to pour a cup of tea for Tian Lin. She took out a food box from her storage bag and took out the spiritual meat and spiritual rice that she had not finished eating yesterday.
"Haha, there are more and more wandering souls now. As long as someone can come back alive from the distant sea, the harvest will be great.
However, the number of wandering souls that appear during the day is far less than that at night, so if you really want to gain something, you still have to wait until night."
While Gao He was talking, Tian Lin was looking at Cai Shu beside him.
Cai Shu took out a tripod and a small jar, and scooped a bowl of magical rice into the jar with her bare hands.
Tian Lin saw with his own eyes that Cai Shu took out a talisman paper. After the talisman paper burned, the rice in the jar began to heat up at an incredibly fast speed.
"Brother, you are not a talisman maker, and you rarely sleep outdoors, so you have never used this kind of 'small cooking talisman', right?" Cai Shu smiled and said, "This talisman paper is easy to draw. If you like it, I can draw some for you to keep by your side."
At this moment, a fat man suddenly squeezed into an empty stool.
Tian Lin recognized the fat man. He was the weapon refiner Rong Gongfeng.
However, when Tian Lin first met Rong Gongfeng, he met him as "Tian Shuang".
So at this moment, Tian Lin recognized Rong Gongfeng, but Rong Gongfeng did not recognize Tian Lin.
As soon as Rong Gongfeng appeared, Gao He's face turned a little ugly, but Cai Shu's face was calm.
Fortunately, Rong Gongsheng was not here to collect debts from Gao He. He bowed to Tian Lin and urged Gao He, "This Taoist friend looks unfamiliar. Why don't you introduce him to me?"
Gao He was reluctant in his heart, but he showed it on his face. He said to Tian Lin: "This is the priest of the Tong family, who is good at refining weapons. If you need anything in the future, you can ask this priest Rong for help."
When Tian Lin clasped his fists to Rong Gongfeng, Rong Gongfeng also hurriedly returned the greeting.
Tian Lin did not need Gao He's introduction, so he took the initiative to say: "Tian is a Huahualang, and I don't have any special skills. I hope Rong Gongsheng will give me more guidance in the future."
Rong Gongsheng didn't believe what Tian Lin said, because Tian Lin was too young, and even building the foundation alone seemed a little unbelievable.
After returning the greeting, he asked Tian Lin, "Fellow Daoist Tian is so young, I wonder which of the five elements you are practicing?"
Gao He stroked his beard and answered for Tian Lin with a reserved look: "My second brother is a five-element foundation-building person, and his talent is no worse than that of the immortal sect disciples."
This is more than just no worse than the disciples of the immortal sect?
The outer disciples of the immortal sects have about the same cultivation speed, right?
Because Gao He spoke a little loudly just now, many people looked over here.
At this time, Tong Shisan, who had just come ashore, walked towards this side.
Everyone in the teahouse knew that Tong Shisan was looking for Tian Lin, but they all stood up following Tian Lin.
When Tian Lin bowed to Tong Shisan, Tong Shisan also bowed to Tian Lin and said:
"I have experienced the elegance of Daoist Fellow Tian in the daytime. Unfortunately, I had a lot of things to do at that time, so it was not convenient for me to meet Daoist Fellow alone. I am so sorry for my disrespect."
"Master Thirteen, you are too polite. I am just a foundation-building cultivator. How can I compare with you, Master Thirteen?"
Tong Shisan was obviously stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Tong understands, then I won't bother Fellow Daoist Tian anymore."
After he finished speaking, he bowed again and turned to leave.
A group of people watched Tong Shisan leave and felt that he was a little puzzled.
Many people nodded secretly, having already realized Tian Lin's identity from Tong Shisan's performance.
Only Tian Lin himself didn't know what Tong Shisan understood, nor did he know why the people around him suddenly realized something.
He sat down in a daze and asked Gao He, "What did this Thirteenth Young Master understand?"
Gao He didn't know what Tong Shisan understood, but he could guess from Tong Shisan's attitude towards Tian Lin that Tian Lin was of noble origin.
Originally, he only believed 40% of what Tian Lin said about having an elder of the Dao Sect as his master. The other 60% was simply because he thought Tian Lin had a good talent for cultivation and a promising future.
Now that he knew Tong Shisan's attitude, Gao He no longer doubted Tian Lin's origins.
His face was flushed at this time, and he urged Cai Shu, "The spiritual rice is fine, but isn't this vegetable a little shabby?"
Before Cai Shu could say anything, Rong Gongfeng waved and called his sword-bearing servant over, and asked the servants to buy the spirit meat.
Tian Lin felt that these people seemed to have some misunderstanding about him, so he waved his hand and said, "Since we have to go out to sea soon, we just need to fill our stomachs and don't waste any more money."
Gao He also felt that Rong Gongfeng had stolen his limelight, so he pulled Rong Gongfeng aside and said, "Since my second brother has spoken, it is best to listen to him. Besides, the food on the table is not too little."
There were indeed three or four plates of spiritual meat on the table, although with the ability of a foundation-building cultivator to earn spiritual stones, it was impossible for him not to be able to afford it.
However, the foundation-building cultivators who came from Huahualang wanted to squeeze a spirit stone into two petals in order to save money to buy the Five Elements Divine Pill.
Who would waste money to buy these spiritual meats that can only replenish spiritual energy?
Rong Gongsheng glanced at Gao He and Cai Shu, and said with a smile: "No wonder you two came to me yesterday to ask for spiritual stones, it turns out you wanted to treat Fellow Daoist Tian to a meal."
Rong Gongsheng knew Gao He's character very well and knew that the reason why he liked to make friends was simply because it was easier to take advantage of friends.
Therefore, Gao He was willing to borrow money to buy spiritual meat to entertain Tian Lin, making him certain that Tian Lin must have some great benefits that Gao He could take advantage of.
His guess was not wrong, but he misunderstood Gao He's intention of borrowing the spirit stone.
Gao He borrowed the spiritual stones not to entertain Tian Lin, but because he had consumed too many elixirs needed to exorcise evil spirits.
He just saved the spirit stones that were originally intended for buying elixirs and used them on Tian Lin.
But Gao He didn't explain at this time. He wanted Tian Lin to know how hard he, as an elder brother, had tried to entertain him.
"Brother Gao, I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future!"
Tian Lin didn't need the money for a meal, he just wanted to see to what extent Gao He could sacrifice in order to curry his favor.
