Chapter 161 Two-Headed Fish
Early the next morning, Tian Lin got up and heard a knock on the door.
He didn't need to look outside to know that the maid named Yu'er was guarding the door.
Sure enough, after Tian Lin responded, the girl opened the door and sat in the room, holding a copper basin in her hand.
"Have you been waiting outside for a long time?"
Tian Lin cleaned his hands and said, "I don't have many rules, so you don't have to waste your time on me."
Yu'er immediately said: "This is what my maid does. If you don't serve the good master, you will be the maid who doesn't understand the rules, and you will be punished when the time comes."
Tian Lin asked her: "How many spiritual stones can you get in a month?"
Yu'er said: "When I was in the house, I got five low-grade spiritual stones a month."
Tian Lin nodded, five low-grade spiritual stones were quite rare in Yulong Continent.
He then frowned: "When I was in the house, I had five low-grade spiritual stones. What do you mean, are you out of the house now?"
Yu'er immediately said: "My servant's current monthly salary can still be received from the house."
Tian Lin understood——
Yu'er and Cui'er arrived in his yard. It was expected that their monthly salary would be distributed to the fields and forests behind them.
However, if Tian Lin is so stingy that he doesn't give them spirit stones, they can go back to Tong's house to ask for them.
If you just do this, others will laugh at Tian Lin for not understanding the rules.
"I forgot that you gave Brother Qiu a spiritual stone yesterday. Did you give that spiritual stone to him for me?"
Yu'er hurriedly said: "This maid made her own decision, please punish me."
Tian Lin picked up the storage bag from the bedside, took five low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over:
"Except for the spirit stones you gave me yesterday, you should keep the remaining four spirit stones with you. If there is any place in the house that needs spirit stones in the future, you can make an account and tell me later."
Yu'er took the spirit stone respectfully and put it carefully in her purse.
Seeing that Tian Lin was going to get the robe from the bedside, she quickly said, "Why didn't you change into the new clothes the elder gave me yesterday?"
Tian Lin heard that she seemed to have something to say, so he picked up the clothes but put them on without haste, and asked: "In addition to keeping away dust and repelling insects, what other uses does that clothes have?"
Yu'er said: "I am now a strong foundation-builder. You must know that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. In terms of clothing, it is better not to be confused with mortals."
Tian Lin unfolded his clothes, which he brought from Yulong Continent.
Although it is not as good as the treasured clothes given by the Tong family, the material is still of high quality.
Yu'er smiled and stepped forward to pick up the robe given by the great elder yesterday from the end of the bed. While putting it on Tian Lin, she said:
“In addition to the different cloud patterns on the clothes, there are also many color differences between the clothing of mortals and monks.
Sir, you are a strong foundation builder, so you must have gold wire borders and jade beads as buckles. ”
She said: "When others see this gold-rimmed jade button, they will know that you are a strong foundation builder. You can go to some places where mortals cannot go.
Some places where strong foundation builders don't need spirit stones, you can come and go freely. ”
Tian Lin glanced at Yu'er's collar and looked at the silver thread moiré pattern on it: "Do Qi Refiners also have different clothes?"
Yu'er said: "There is a difference between immortals and mortals. This is the best way to distinguish between mortals and cultivators; it also prevents some mortals from being reckless and colliding with nobles and killing them."
Listening to what Yu'er said, this clothing is differentiating, but it is a kind of protection for mortals.
While the two of them were talking, Cui'er walked over to the door and said:
"Master, what do you have for breakfast? If you want to eat spiritual rice, you can make some Yunzi porridge."
"What kind of spiritual rice do we have in our house?"
After Tian Lin asked, he heard Cui'er say at the door: "This time I brought one portion of each of the Five Spiritual Rice from my house. It depends on what kind of rice you want to eat."
Tian Lin asked Cui'er again: "Is the spiritual rice in our Pingyang City expensive?"
Although Cui'er was a servant, her job was not purchasing, and she was speechless for a moment.
Yu'er hurriedly said: "We have a spiritual field in our house, where we can grow spiritual rice of all five colors. Master, if you want to buy spiritual rice, depending on your status as a worshipper, you don't need to spend many spiritual stones to buy spiritual rice——< br>
It's just the same, you can only buy this spiritual rice for your own use and cannot sell it. ”
After she finished speaking, she added: "I don't know if the master needs to buy spiritual rice. I will ask the steward of the house when I go down later."
Tian Lin now only has more than eighty low-grade spiritual stones in his pocket, thirty of which were given by Tong's family.
He didn't know how much spiritual stones he would spend next, so he hesitated and said: "Don't rush to buy it now, just eat the spiritual rice sent by Tong Mansion."
He ate spiritual rice for his sword power. If he really wanted to enhance his cultivation, it would be better to drink the 'spiritual liquid' directly.
However, the spiritual liquid has a great effect in the Qi refining stage, but in the foundation building stage, it does not have much effect.
"I heard that there are many magic spells sold on the street, including the Five Elements Golden Pill Jue."
When Tian Lin was drinking porridge, he asked Yu'er next to him.
Yu'er smiled and said: "Because the Five Elements Golden Pill Technique is an orthodox cultivation method, so there are the most people practicing it. And because there are so many people practicing it, this method is no longer a secret.
Master, if you want this technique, there is no need to buy it outside. I will send you a copy after I ask the housekeeper later. ”
Tian Lin put down his spoon and couldn't help but praise: "The Tong family is really wealthy."
His compliment was sincere, and Yu'er couldn't help but say with some pride:
"Our Tong family has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth after two thousand years. All this is due to ancestor Tong Yao."
Rely on Ancestor Tong Yao?
I'm afraid it depends on a small qi-refining family like Zhou Qing's family. Otherwise, where would there be so many spiritual fields to grow spiritual rice?
Tian Lin actually doesn't have much fondness for the Tong family. He probably has interacted with the Zhou family too many times in the fantasy world, and he has some sympathy for Zhou Qing and his wife.
But he would not feel injustice for the Zhou family. As a person from Huahua Lang, what could he do to pity the children of those aristocratic families?
Tian Lin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and said to Yu'er, "I'm going out for a trip. If anyone comes, tell me I won't come back until at night." Tian Lin left immediately and left the house in a few steps.
After he disappeared, Cui'er, who was cleaning up the dishes, couldn't help but curl her lips and said:
"You are old, but you can still eat better than a pig. Of the five bowls of Yunzi porridge, there is not even a bowl left for us."
Her sister Yu'er said funnyly: "How can a servant worry about the master's leftovers?"
Cui'er said angrily: "When we were serving the ladies at home, when was there not a bowl of spiritual rice given to us?
I thought it was a good job to be sent to serve the foundation-building monk, but I didn't expect that this foundation-building monk was old and ugly, and he didn't know anything about cultivating immortals, but he was so stingy.
Let's follow him, not to mention enjoying the blessings, but we are afraid that our life will not be as good as at home. ”
After hearing this, Yu'er also frowned.
It was hard for her to win this job, and she spent a lot of spiritual stones on it.
I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect it to be a fire pit.
Looking at the attitude of 'Master Tian', I'm afraid he won't even be able to support himself in the future, so how can he support his two girls?
——
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Lin didn't think much about the two girls at this time. He just walked around the shops on the street and then left Pingyang City.
What Yu'er said was right. His clothes saved him a lot of trouble.
Not to mention that mortals who saw him on the street would take the initiative to avoid him. Even when entering and leaving the city, the soldiers guarding the city were extremely polite to him, let alone questioning his identity.
He kept in mind the words of the man named "Seventh Master" yesterday. It was best not to fly with a sword inside and outside the city to avoid misunderstanding.
Fortunately, Pingyang City is not far from Shenxian Pond, and it didn't take long for Tian Lin to reach the coast by using his wind technique.
On the coast, the Sanhe Gang's ship was about to set sail.
The leader was the man in the scarf who threw the harpoon at Tian Lin yesterday. The man in the scarf changed his face slightly when he saw Tian Lin. He had already seen Tian Lin's cultivation from Tian Lin's clothes.
"Xiao Ke was careless and bumped into senior, please forgive me."
The man in the scarf did not hide. Instead, he got off the boat and knelt down in front of Tian Lin.
Tian Lin's trip was not to show off his power. He smiled and took out the Tong family's offering card from his storage bag and said: "I am going to sea to fish just like you."
Zhang Xiaoke's expression changed, thinking that Tian Lin was pursuing the matter of not allowing Tian Lin to fish yesterday.
Zhang Xiaoke gritted his teeth, took out the dagger from his waist and held it up with both hands: "What happened yesterday is Xiaoke's fault. If senior wants to hold you accountable, just hold me accountable."
Behind him, some of the fishermen were standing on the boat, and some were already standing on the shore. They looked at Tian Lin with horror in their eyes, while some dared not speak in anger.
"I don't mean to blame you, I just want you to teach me how to fish."
Zhang Xiaoke frowned and looked up to see Tian Lin's serious face. Only then was he convinced that Tian Lin was not speaking sarcastically.
But he still found it incredible. After being helped up by Tian Lin, he bravely said:
“With your senior’s cultivation, why bother fishing to earn spiritual stones?”
Tian Lin said: "I don't know how to cultivate immortality or a hundred arts. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that fishing can only supplement the family income."
Zhang Xiaoke was silent, and after a while he had to say:
"Senior wants to learn how to fish, so Xiao Ke naturally has nothing to say. The only thing is, if you can't catch fish then, please don't anger me and others."
Tian Lin followed Zhang Xiaoke onto the boat. He only watched these people operate the whole process and didn't say much.
After the thousand-year-old wooden boat drifted on the coast for a day, a group of people returned home and there were only two sea fish on the huge deck.
Zhang Xiaoke sighed and said to Tian Lin:
"If the senior had come half a year earlier, he might have earned some spiritual stones. But half a year ago, the unknown powerful man massacred us, and the few sea fish on the coast became even less."
Tian Lin knew that he was talking about the Nine Lives Master.
Speaking of which, Master Jiu Ming appeared in Shenxiantang, half of the reason was because of Tian Lin.
It’s just that Tian Lin himself doesn’t know why Jiu Ming Zhenren suddenly gave up killing himself for no reason and instead ran to Shenxian Pond to ‘become a monster’.
Towards evening, the fishing boat finally docked.
Although they got two two-headed fish, no one in the group was happy.
Zhang Xiaoke said to Tian Lin: "When fishing in Shenxian Pond, you cannot use flying swords, as flying swords will sink when they enter the water.
The fish monsters near the shore are very cunning and often hide in the water a few feet deep from the sea surface. True energy cannot penetrate the water, and spiritual consciousness cannot invade the water and attack sea fish.
Only harpoons made of thousand-year-old wood can hardly break through the scales of sea fish. In short, even if the senior is a foundation-building monk, it may not be easy for him to earn spiritual stones by fishing. ”
From what Zhang Xiaoke said, he wanted to persuade Tian Lin to give up fishing.
But Tian Lin only asked Zhang Xiaoke: "How much can one sell for a two-headed fish like this?"
Zhang Xiaoke thought for a while and said: "The meat of this two-headed fish is poisonous and cannot be sold as spiritual meat. Fortunately, its scales can be sold to weapon refiners, and its organs can be sold to alchemists——
Calculated this way, this two-headed fish can touch approximately seven or eight low-grade spiritual stones. ”
Seven or eight low-grade spiritual stones are actually not too many, but in order to catch this fish, Zhang Xiaoke and others sent out four or five small boats, and the number of people who went there was more than a dozen.
If so many people share seven or eight low-grade spiritual stones, how much can they get?
What's more, half of the seven or eight low-grade spiritual stones have to be handed over to the Tong family.
How much can be left in their hands?
"A Talisman Maker can earn dozens of low-grade spiritual stones in a day. If I can catch ten of these fish monsters in a day, the spiritual stones I will earn will not be less than those of a Talisman Maker."
Tian Lin muttered, smiled and said to Zhang Xiaoke: "I need to trouble you to teach me these days, which fish are valuable and which fish are not valuable."
After Tian Lin left, the fishermen of the Sanhe Gang looked at each other, and finally one person couldn't help but said:
"Is this old man crazy? He is a strong foundation builder. Why is he here to join in the fun? Is the spiritual stone earned by fishing at sea enough for him to buy a water god pill?"
Zhang Xiaoke shook his head, looked back from the direction where Tian Lin disappeared, and said coldly:
"Now that there are no fish in the offshore waters, are you still afraid that he will snatch your catch? Save your energy and think about how to deal with the Tong family."
They had received an order to go to sea, and as the New Year was approaching, they had to pay an extra amount of spiritual stones.
