Qin Bai followed Shan Tao's instructions and quickly found a shop selling dragon seedlings, but the location was already on the outskirts of Longmen Town.
The place looked filthy and the residents looked malnourished, almost skin and bones.
Qin Bai was surprised. He thought that under the protection of the Evergreen Sect, he would not be starved of food, but it seemed that the opposite was true.
Zhou Guang's small hand grasped the corner of Qin Bai's clothes, his expression was filled with fear.
When he saw the thin child beggar lying on the street, he probably thought of his own experience and took out a few taels of silver from his arms.
Qin Bai did not stop Zhou Guang and allowed him to put the money into the beggar's broken bowl.
It was the first time that the beggar saw so much money. He took a deep breath uneasily and turned around and left without even saying thank you.
Qin Bai felt that there were suddenly more eyes focused on him, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Aguang, let's go."
He flicked the Huang Qiong Sword on his waist. Under the shock of the flying sword, no Xiaoxiao dared to approach.
Immediately, Qin Bai led Zhou Guang into a dilapidated shop. There was no plaque hanging on the door, and it still smelled of mold and decay.
However, the business inside is good, but the cultivation level of the customers coming and going is far less than that of the previous Qingfeng Pavilion.
The shopkeeper is a thin old man, estimated to be only around Qin Bai's waist.
He squinted his eyes, looking like he was proficient in calculation, and looked at Qin and Bai who came in.
When he saw Huang Qiongjian on Qin Bai's waist, he couldn't help but his heart beat wildly, and the tea set he was wiping in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He is a big customer, so he can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune!
Qin Bai was also surprised in his heart. This shopkeeper was not good-looking, but his cultivation had reached the level of Refining God and Returning to the Void, and he had restrained his aura to the extreme.
If he hadn't already set foot in the ghost fairy world, he might not have been able to detect it.
"Sir, are you here to sell something?"
Qin Bai nodded and pointed to the back room of the shop. The shopkeeper immediately understood and led the two of them inside.
During this period, the shopkeeper kept glancing at Huang Qiongjian.
The three of them arrived at a slightly empty room, and the shopkeeper diligently made tea for Qin Bai.
But when I smell the tea, I know it's just old tea.
Zhou Guang was left aside, standing awkwardly in the corner at a loss.
"Why is this neighborhood so poor?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and explained: "My guest doesn't know that the dragon seedlings are all fished from Longmen Lake."
"When mortals enter Longmen Lake, they will inevitably suffer casualties, so most of the people in this neighborhood are orphans whose parents have died."
Qin Bai frowned. Although he only glanced at Longmen Lake from a distance, he didn't notice anything strange at that time: "What danger is there in Longmen Lake?"
"Maybe it's a big man-eating fish. Even monks won't get involved easily. I don't know the details."
The shopkeeper had some reservations in his words. He obviously did not tell Qin Bai the real situation.
Qin Bai didn't ask any further questions, but directly changed the subject and said, "Do you have any dragon seedlings here?"
The shopkeeper laughed a few times, then took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, you want to buy dragon seedlings. I do have them here, but the quantity is not much."
"Let me take a look."
"Wait a moment."
The shopkeeper immediately walked out of the house and came back carrying a bamboo basket.
There were indeed a few carp swimming in the bamboo basket, but their appearance was far inferior to Shan Tao's scarlet carp, and they were swimming at a speed that seemed to have been slightly injured.
Qin Bai shook his head in disappointment and decided to just pick a few.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper said: "If you are not satisfied, come with me. There are some dragon seedlings in the backyard."
Qin Bai said to Zhou Guang: "Aguang, please return to the inn by yourself."
"Okay, senior."
Qin Bai followed the shopkeeper through the long, dark corridor, and finally came to the backyard of the store, where there was a pond.
Many people had gathered in the open space. When they saw the sudden arrival, they turned around with dissatisfied eyes.
Qin Bai guessed that he was used as a spearman by the shopkeeper, maybe it was purely a test, because the Taoist robes worn by the people in the yard were clearly in the style of the Maoshan sect.
A man who looked to be in his thirties came out.
He looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper Tu, isn't the pool already owned by us? How can we still bring people here?"
Shopkeeper Tu smiled sarcastically and said, "Taoist Master Fuling, there are at least thirty tails in the pond, and you guys alone can't pick them all."
Fu Ling sneered and said: "The quality of these koi vary greatly, and they are far from as good as you said."
Shopkeeper Tu chuckled and said, "The Taoist priests came too late. By now, Long Miao has already been selected."
Fuling glanced coldly, and the zhenqi in his body surged.
Shopkeeper Tu was not angry either, his expression was still smiling.
Qin Bai feels that people like him are more or less seriously ill in their brains. How can a normal person not retaliate when scolded? Besides, you are also a monk who has refining the spirit and returning to the void.
The Maoshan disciples stopped checking Long Miao and hurried over.
Kong Kong's incompatible reaction was half a beat too slow. The moment he raised his head and saw Qin Bai, his heart stopped for a few breaths and his face turned red.
Fuling is Maoshan's eldest brother, and his strength has reached the half-step golden elixir level.
Kong Kong didn't pay attention just now, he just thought that Fuling's aura was aimed at Qin Bai.
His back was instantly soaked with sweat, and Qin Bai's expressionless face seemed to be filled with anger, ready to kill to vent his anger at any time.
Qin Bai did not intend to have more contact with the Maoshan disciples, and he had no habit of being used as a spearman. He was about to leave the shop, so he said: "Otherwise..."
Kong Kong took a deep breath and stood up. He couldn't help but said: "Everyone, listen to me and try not to do anything."
Fuling looked at the void, and the meaning in his eyes was clearly that you are the onion.
Shopkeeper Tu took a few steps back without leaving a trace, letting Qin Bai stand in front of him, and looked at the two groups of people meaningfully.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and the other Maoshan disciples did not dare to speak. They did not even understand the situation.
Qin Bai turned to shopkeeper Tu and asked, "Dragon seedlings are all obtained from Longmen Lake?"
"Yes."
After getting the exact answer, Qin Bai left the backyard directly.
Fuling snorted coldly and returned to the pond. Shopkeeper Tu looked at Qin Bai's back with a strange look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only Kong Kong hesitated for a moment, exchanged a few words with Fuling and then chased after him.
Fuling took out a gourd from his arms, and then the water in the pool was sucked into the magic weapon like a tornado, and he also led the Maoshan disciples outside.
Shopkeeper Tu murmured to himself: "How many forces have come to Longmen Town today? I'm afraid this person is not simple."
When Kong Kong came to the street, he found that Qin Bai was not in a hurry to leave, and the other party was standing on the street.
Then Qin Bai blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Kong Kong walked around the streets but couldn't find any trace of Qin Bai, so he had to turn into a remote corner.
As a result, just after staying there for a moment, Qin Bai suddenly took the initiative to find him.
Qin Bai lowered his voice and said, "Kong Kong, it seems you have broken through the bottleneck."
Kong sighed and said: "Thanks to your skills, Senior Qin, after refining the natal magic weapon, I can practice all the time."
"It has nothing to do with me, it's mainly up to you."
He handed his experience to Qin Bai, and also showed his natal magical weapon, which was a dozen flying swords in wooden boxes.
Kong Kong was about to retort, but he heard Qin Bai say: "Do you know why all the sects gathered in Longmen Town? What does opportunity mean?"
Kong Kong thought about it and replied: "It is said that it involves the Water Goddess position, so it attracted monks who stopped refining gods and transforming into voids. The elder we led is about to live a long life."
Qin Bai reacted immediately. It seemed that
Many monks who have refining the gods and returned to the void are approaching their longevity, and they plan to obtain the water god status to become immortals.
Kong Kong didn't know much information. Although he understood Elder Maoshan's purpose, he didn't have the slightest idea of how to implement it.
Moreover, the Maoshan sect encountered a demon on the road, which caused a slight delay in arriving at Longmen Town, causing all the dragon seedlings to be sold.
Qin Bai didn't know the methods of the elders of each sect, but Yu Leap to the Dragon Gate was approaching, and he didn't have so much time to investigate.
He talked with Kong Kong for a few more words, and after finding out the location of the inn where the other party was staying, he turned and left.
Qin Bai went straight to Longmen Lake. He could see many people gathered on the shore, mostly monks.
There are a large number of carps swimming in the lake, of various colors, but they are easily frightened and will swim away immediately when they hear the slightest movement.
Some of the monks on the shore were using magic to estimate the time it would take for the fish to leap over the dragon's gate. Some of them covered their bodies with charms and jumped into the lake with magic weapons in hand.
Qin Bai didn't notice the danger that Shopkeeper Tu said, but since the monks were so cautious, I'm afraid things were not simple in Longmen Lake.
And according to his observation, even if the monks have formed a golden elixir, they only dare to stay within a few meters of the shore.
In addition, there are many fishermen who refine Qi and become gods sitting on the shore. You should know that usually a carp in Longmen Lake can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
Other methods may not be effective against the unpredictable Longmen Lake.
But if you want to catch koi through fishing, you need a lot of patience and skills. Many people stay by the lake for days and nights.
Even if they occasionally take the bait, if the koi is not in good condition, they will put it back into the water.
Qin Bai thought about it and took out the rice fishing rod.
He has not studied this meritorious instrument in detail, but it must not be a big problem to use it to catch some carp.
Qin Bai casually found a position, and then prepared skillfully, making a nest, making bait, and lowering the rod...
A series of confident operations immediately attracted the attention of the angler on the lake shore.
But before they could take a few more glances, they saw Qin Bai's figure suddenly disappear, as if blending into the world.
This is the role of the rice fishing rod as a merit weapon. It has been used to avoid the pursuit of demons many times in the underworld.
Qin Bai felt as stable as an old dog in his heart. Even though he had never caught a living creature so far, with the skills he had honed, this was definitely a sure thing.
He closed his eyes and calmed down, and his mind extended along the fishing rod to the hook.
The hours passed by, the blazing sun overhead dipped into the horizon, and soon it was late at night.
There was silence on Longmen Lake, except for a few figures sitting cross-legged on the shore. Suddenly the fisherman heard someone whispering curses.
They couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. They looked around but didn't notice the source of the sound. Even if they scanned it with their spiritual thoughts, they found nothing.
Encountering such strange things, they didn't dare to stay long, so they packed up their things and left Longmen Lake.
Only then did Qin Bai reveal his figure, and his expression looked a little ugly.
It's not that he has lost his patience. Although it is indeed difficult to take the bait of the koi in Longmen Lake, he has been mentally prepared for it.
Mainly because Qin Bai suddenly realized the most critical point.
The rice fishing rod can restrain the breath and disappear, which also means that the koi in the lake cannot see the fishhook.
In this case, wouldn't it be self-indulgent...
Qin Bai just played with the air all day long, almost breaking his own record of not taking the bait for a long time.
He also gave up the idea of continuing fishing and jumped into the water maintaining his fishing posture.
He soon realized why the monks were so careful. The lake actually isolated his spiritual thoughts. In addition, the water was turbid and the visibility was low, making him feel like he was blind.
Even Qin Bai would not be able to see clearly without exposing the ghost immortal's cultivation.
Moreover, his true energy was still faintly suppressed. You should know that even his true energy could be affected, let alone other monks.
But he didn't plan to go deep into Longmen Lake. He just wanted to catch a few koi. Shallow water would do just fine.
Qin Bai relied on his rice fishing rod to blend in with the lake water. He sprinkled the bait around and waited quietly.
The nearby koi began to arrive one after another. The largest one was two feet long and already had dragon whiskers.
Qin Bai grabbed a few good-quality ones at a very fast speed and swallowed them, and then prepared to return to the shore.
At this moment, because his hands left the rice fishing rod, his figure was exposed in the water, and a black shadow of dozens of meters pressed over him.
Qin Bai raised his eyebrows. He threw out the fishhook to catch the black shadow, and then put it into the aquarium with force.
But there were more and more black shadows in the water, densely spread all around.
A monk on the lake shore had already noticed the movement. Qin Bai used his energy to turn over and jump out of Longmen Lake, and his figure entered the night.
Several Taoist priests from the Evergreen Sect saw a large number of black shadows swimming in the shallow water on the shore. They just thought that someone accidentally fell into the water, so they didn't pay too much attention.
After Qin Bai returned to the inn, he immediately started to check the aquarium.
The koi were all safe and sound, but the black shadow turned out to be a ferocious-looking monster fish that was being surrounded by Tool Crocodile and his little brother.
The strange fish is more than three meters long, somewhat similar to a giant moray eel.
Qin Bai discovered that the strange fish was not naturally formed at all, but rather seemed to be spawned using elixirs, and the soul in its body had long since dispersed.
Judging from the number of black shadows in the water, there are at least thousands of them in Longmen Lake.
Could it be that they were raised artificially?
Qin Bai always feels that the strange fish and the sect are closely related to the opportunity to jump over the dragon gate.
As for those koi fish, they must plan carefully, and they can use the dragon clones to promote their bloodline.
Wait, after breaking through the ghosts and immortals, the screenwriter's supernatural powers seem to have changed, as if pseudo-souls are no longer limited to humans.
Has the fish god caused trouble?
