I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 278: Ten Taels of Gold (Part 2)

After persistent questioning, he unexpectedly found out that this kid had caught a spiritual fish with his good luck, and it had jumped onto the boat by itself.

Thinking about how he had gained something for nothing, envy welled up in his heart. Later, under his relentless pestering, the Wang family's kid showed him the spiritual fish in the cabin. When he saw it, he was even more amazed. The Wang family's kid didn't understand the value of fishing, but he knew that this was a Chi Dao fish, which was already precious. It was even more impressive if it could grow to a foot long.

An evil thought arose in his mind.

After that, it was simple. Taking advantage of the Wang family's kid's inattention, he used an oar to knock him out, and then both the person and the boat sank into the water.

As for the spiritual fish, he had already put it on his own boat before sinking the other boat.

Thinking about the vast Ba Lian Lake, he wasn't afraid at that time. Ba Lian Lake seemed calm, but sometimes it was turbulent. It wasn't a big deal if a few people died. Who would find out about him? The disappearance of the Wang family's kid was nothing out of the ordinary.

As expected, when he found a spiritual fish purchasing point in the lake with the Chi Dao fish, no one asked too many questions. They just praised his good luck and gave him ten taels of gold.

Now that he had these ten taels of gold, he felt quite carefree.

"Almost there, almost there."

He gasped and said, causing the madam to curse in her heart. It hadn't been that long yet, but she was afraid he would demand a refund later.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise startled him, and he shivered in fear. Just as he was about to curse, two people stood outside the wide-open door, glaring at him. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's here, it's here."

Li, the pockmarked man, pointed to a calm water surface and said. Behind him were Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu.

When Lin Qing heard the mortal catching the spiritual fish with pockmarks on his face mentioned by the Foundation Building cultivator, he was extremely curious. Although the man who gave him the spiritual fish was dark-skinned, he didn't have any pockmarks. Could it be that another mortal happened to catch this Chi Dao fish? But this Chi Dao fish was not common, so Lin Qing asked for more details and confirmed that it was indeed a man with pockmarks.

Then they found this man with pockmarks, who turned out to be a coward. After knowing that Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu were cultivators, he spilled everything.

Now, looking at the spot where the boat sank, Lin Qing felt a trace of coldness.

"Elder, let me go down and take a look," Lin Yuanwu said.

Lin Qing nodded.

Lin Yuanwu activated a water-repelling shield on his body and then dived directly into the water. Before long, he resurfaced with the Wang family's kid who was underwater.

Seeing that it was indeed the dark-skinned man, now lifeless, and thinking about the loud and distant call, Lin Qing felt heavy in his heart. He didn't expect that his casual action would bring such a calamity to him.

If it weren't for him, perhaps this dark-skinned man would still be happily shouting and fishing in Ba Lian Lake.

If he hadn't coincidentally found out about this pockmarked man who killed for fish, he would probably still be living carefree.

Just as Lin Qing was about to avenge the unknown man against this pockmarked Li, Lin Yuanwu said with some surprise, "Elder, it seems like this person isn't dead."

"Oh?"

Lin Qing was shocked. How could so much time have passed?

But upon closer inspection, it was indeed true. His body still had a trace of warmth. Lin Qing quickly took out a precious pill that even cultivators treasured and fed it to him. Before long, he began to regain his breath.

It was fortunate for this young man from the Wang family. He had been knocked unconscious by Li, the pockmarked man, on the boat, but he didn't die. Instead, he fell into a coma. Although he fell into the water afterwards, he still had a spark of life, which allowed Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu to save him.

Not long after, the young man from the Wang family woke up.

Seeing him slowly regain his spirit, and thinking about how he would be the one shouting orders in the future, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if this man had died because of his casual action, he would have felt extremely embarrassed.

The pockmarked man, on the other hand, was unaware of all this. Seeing someone who had clearly died come back to life, he was frightened and fainted.

"Who are you?" the young man from the Wang family asked Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu curiously. Then he saw the pockmarked man and a look of anger appeared on his face. Obviously, he wasn't completely clueless.

Afterwards, Lin Qing explained the whole story to the young man from the Wang family. As he listened, he felt grateful to Lin Qing and couldn't help but wish to tear the pockmarked man apart.

Seeing this, Lin Qing gave the young man some gold and handed the pockmarked man over to him for disposal.

After that, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu left the place.

"Master, what do you think he will do with the pockmarked man?" Lin Yuanwu was curious.

Lin Qing piloted the flying boat forward and didn't care about what would happen to the pockmarked man. He was only thinking about his previous actions. Clearly, he had given someone an opportunity, but it had resulted in such a situation. This made Lin Qing think about many things.

The flying boat once again skimmed over the Balian Lake, with its blue waves rippling. Lin Qing flew at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, a sound of someone falling into the water came from the distant lake, followed by a splash, and then silence.

The Balian Lake remained as beautiful as ever, with its water reflecting the sky.

Next, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu toured several major markets in the Wei Kingdom. There were no opportunities, but they did see many items they had never seen before, broadening their horizons.

A week later, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu left the Wei Kingdom and arrived in the territory of the Chu Kingdom.

Because it was closer to the central region of the Yunzhou, the Chu Kingdom was three times more prosperous than the Wei Kingdom. The spiritual energy was also more abundant, with numerous second-grade spiritual veins and quite a few third-grade ones. There was even one fourth-grade spiritual vein, although it was much inferior to the Dalizhou.

However, even so, the strength of the cultivation world in the Chu Kingdom was terrifying. Not only did they have False Dan cultivators, but there were also more than thirty Purple Mansion cultivators, and over a thousand Foundation Building cultivators. There were at least five larger cultivation sects, and countless cultivation families spread throughout the vast territory of the Chu Kingdom.

There were numerous cultivation markets, whether established by sects or individual cultivators, and their scale was not small.

In some markets, it was not uncommon to see Purple Mansion cultivators, and Foundation Building cultivators were considered ordinary here.

Therefore, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu concealed their cultivation levels as Foundation Building Perfection and Foundation Building Initial Stage respectively. While being respected, they didn't attract too much attention and could avoid unnecessary trouble.

Upon entering the Chu Kingdom, Lin Qing felt the prosperity of the cultivation world here. Cultivators flying on their flying treasures could be seen from time to time. What surprised Lin Qing even more was that in this place, flying was not limited to those in the Foundation Building stage or above. Even those in the Qi Refining stage could fly in the air.

"Master, it's really surprising. In the Chu Kingdom, even Qi Refining cultivators can control flying treasures," Lin Yuanwu exclaimed in astonishment.

Lin Qing nodded. After the initial surprise, he also understood the reason.
