I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 276: The Knife Fish

Even from a hundred zhang away, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu were pushed back several zhang by such a formidable force.

"Congratulations, Patriarch, on obtaining the treasure," Lin Yuanwu congratulated Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded and put away the talisman. After testing it, the talisman returned to its dull and lifeless appearance. But in Lin Qing's estimation, this talisman could still be used at least ten times.

For him, this was undoubtedly a powerful means. Even when he advanced to the Gold Core stage in the future, he could leave it for his descendants.

With this in mind, Lin Qing had a thought and looked at Lin Yuanwu. He took out the talisman he had just put away and said to Lin Yuanwu, "Yuanwu, you should give it a try."

"Patriarch, I..." Lin Yuanwu didn't understand Lin Qing's meaning for a moment.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "There may be many dangers in the upcoming Five Nations Conference. You should try using it. If there is an accident and I can't use it, you can go instead. Let's practice in advance."

"Yuanwu understands. Thank you, Patriarch." Lin Yuanwu was extremely happy and took the talisman to start using it.

Just like Lin Qing, he placed the talisman in front of him and began to infuse it with spiritual energy. Lin Qing closely observed, but to the surprise of both Lin Yuanwu and Lin Qing, the talisman remained motionless. No matter how much Lin Yuanwu infused, there was no response at all, as if it were just a piece of scrap paper.

Lin Yuanwu's forehead was already sweating, and he had no idea why it was like this.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, something occurred to Lin Qing. He took a deep breath and interrupted Lin Yuanwu.

"Patriarch, what's going on?" Lin Yuanwu couldn't wait to ask Lin Qing after stopping.

Lin Qing stared at the talisman at this moment, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes. He immediately thought of something and then smiled, saying, "I understand now, Yuanwu, it's not your fault."

Taking the talisman, Lin Qing continued, "This talisman is not only powerful, but it also has certain restrictions on its use. I think it was made by the Shanshui True Immortal back then. It can only be used by those who have cultivated the Shanshui Divine Art. Coincidentally, I am currently cultivating this technique, so I can use it."

"I see. It seems that only the Patriarch can use this thing," Lin Yuanwu nodded.

After putting away the talisman, Lin Qing left with Lin Yuanwu. On the way, he also understood why this talisman had been well-preserved for so many years. After all, even if someone knowledgeable saw it, they wouldn't be able to use it. The Wu family might have been curious about it, but the restrictions prevented them from using it.

Thinking about how the Yan family relentlessly pursued the Wu family just to obtain this thing, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh. Even if the Yan family eventually obtained it, only to find out it was useless, wouldn't that be even more tragic? Fortunately, with him around, the Yan family wouldn't have to experience such great joy and sorrow.

As for why the Wu family had such a treasure, Lin Qing had a rough guess.

Back then, Master Shan Shui's Zhao sect covered a large area, including a significant portion of the Yan Kingdom. It's not hard to imagine that this talisman treasure ended up in the hands of the Wu family in the Yan Kingdom.

Flying over the Bailian Lake at this moment, although it took quite some time, Lin Qing was extremely happy in his heart.

Obtaining this talisman treasure was also a great opportunity for him. Thinking that this was the talisman treasure left behind by the fully accomplished Gold Core stage Master Shan Shui, Lin Qing had more confidence in the Five Nations Conference. After all, the Gold Core stages of the Chu Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom were only in the early stages. With this item, not to mention victory, self-preservation should be guaranteed.

With great excitement, Lin Qing flew very fast and soon arrived at a cultivation market outside the Bailian Lake, landing.

Both Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu, who had concealed their cultivation levels, walked into a cultivation market called Bailian Fang. Needless to say, the name was derived from the Bailian Lake.

Upon entering the market, the first thing that caught their attention was the shops selling spirit coral.

Thinking about the spirit coral they had just obtained, after obtaining Lin Qing's consent, Lin Yuanwu went to a larger shop and had the spirit coral appraised. Unexpectedly, although this spirit coral did not reach the level of the Coral King, it was still very good and worth about one hundred spirit stones.

Appraising this item was just a momentary impulse, and Lin Yuanwu had no intention of selling it. Although the people in that shop wanted to buy it, they didn't dare to say much when they saw Lin Qing by his side.

Apart from the spirit coral shops, there were also many spirit fish shops, and there were a few shops selling talismans and magical tools commonly seen in the cultivation world, but not many.

The market was not big, and Lin Qing quickly finished browsing. Not to mention any opportunities, there wasn't even one that caught his eye. However, Lin Qing was not disappointed. Bailian Fang was just a small market, probably jointly established by the cultivation families in the Bailian Lake. It couldn't be considered a big market.

But Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu didn't rush to leave after finishing their tour. It was already late, and there were several characteristic spirit fish restaurants in this market. Naturally, they wanted to experience the unique taste of the spirit fish in the Bailian Lake.

Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu entered the largest restaurant. Lin Qing's cultivation level at the Foundation Building stage was considered top-notch in this small market, and the service was extremely enthusiastic as soon as they entered.

"Senior, all the spirit fish in our restaurant are freshly killed and sold. We guarantee their freshness, and they have been prepared with our secret recipe. Not only do they taste delicious, but they are also beneficial for cultivation. Of course, it's not a big deal for seniors, but it's a great thing for juniors." The one serving them was a Qi Refining stage cultivator, and just like the several markets Lin Qing had visited before, when it came to the food for cultivators, they would always mention that it could enhance cultivation. This statement was quite common.

Of course, this statement wasn't wrong. Eating these spirit meats and spirit fish could indeed enhance cultivation, but the key point was that they were expensive and not as cost-effective as taking pills. Cultivators who relied on this method to enhance their cultivation were not common.

Lin Qing listened and smiled. Apart from finding it strange that this Qi Refining stage cultivator was acting as a server, he didn't say much. He casually ordered a few dishes of spirit fish, among which the unique Bailian Lake ruler fish was the most expensive, costing a full twelve spirit stones.

After the spirit fish was served, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu exchanged glances and both smiled.

What they didn't expect was that they had seen this ruler fish before. It was the spirit fish that Lin Qing had casually caught and then threw to the fisherman. Now they knew its name, but this ruler fish was far smaller than the one Lin Qing had caught, only half a foot long.

Seeing Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu smiling, the serving cultivator, who didn't understand why, immediately said, "Senior, this fish is extremely precious even in our Bailian Lake. It's rarely seen, and it only grows one inch every three years. For example, this half-foot-long fish has already grown for at least fifteen years. It contains abundant spiritual energy, which is definitely worth the price."
