I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 199 - 163: Running into Tong Yao_2

As the sea surface swelled, so did Tian Lin who stood upon it.

He scanned his surroundings and finally sensed the location of his flying sword.

Following a thought, the flying sword emitted a soft cry and flew toward him from afar.

Tian Lin had tied the hilt of the flying sword to the boat before entering the sea, so when the flying sword flew towards him, it pulled the small boat through the waves towards Tian Lin.

It was a good thing he was at the Foundation Establishment level, for his Spiritual Sense extended much further than during the Qi Refinement Realm, and its strength was also much greater than before.

Even so, controlling the flying sword with his Spiritual Sense was easy enough, but using it to pull the boat against the wind proved to be somewhat strenuous.

Once the small boat came close, Tian Lin dived into the sea and pulled up the sinking Two-headed Fish that lay three feet below the surface.

The Two-headed Fish was a sea monster unique to this layer of the sea, and its body did not sink to the bottom.

Still, lifting the fish within the water proved to be somewhat challenging for Tian Lin, as if he had nowhere to leverage his strength.

He resurfaced and, standing on the bow, he exerted his force suddenly.

The handle of the fish spear broke instantly, and Tian Lin took out three or four more fish spears from his storage bag and fiercely thrust them into the body of the fish.

On the boat, he could now release his True Qi externally.

Tian Lin pressed down with his feet, and the small boat slightly dipped, causing the two-headed fish to be catapulted out of the sea in an instant.

Without waiting for the two-headed fish to land on the bow, as soon as it left the surface of the water, Tian Lin directly used his Spiritual Sense to store the body of the fish into his storage bag.

At this time, although the mist above the sea had not completely dissipated, the sunlight was already shining on Tian Lin's clean body.

Tian Lin frowned and looked towards a flying boat in the distance.

He saw a little girl on the flying boat spit out and curse, "Shame on you, an old man behaving like this."

The little girl was wearing a white jacket and skirt, with golden threads weaving cloud patterns on the sleeves and pearl-studded buttons, all indicating that this girl in her early teens had already reached Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Tian Lin's gaze then swept over the middle-aged woman beside the little girl, and he was even more startled.

He quickly dressed and, seeing the middle-aged woman sitting cross-legged at the bow beside the little girl, he promptly performed the courtesy, "Junior Tian He pays respects to Elder Tong."

The woman only looked towards Tian Lin after he dressed and said coolly, "You recognize me?"

Tian Lin hurriedly replied, "Junior serves as a Tribute for the Tong Family, thus I am familiar with Elder Tong Yao."

This middle-aged woman was indeed Tong Yao, whom Tian Lin had seen in the illusion.

Back then she was a youthful girl, but now she had become a tall, beautiful woman.

But although Tian Lin recognized Tong Yao, she did not recognize him. Moreover, Tian Lin was currently in disguise.

"No wonder you are fishing here—but this place is no longer near the shore. Even with your Foundation Establishment level, it's quite dangerous. You should head back soon," Tong Yao said without looking at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin acknowledged politely and waited on the boat until Tong Yao's Flying Boat was far away before he stood up straight.

Just now Tong Yao had advised him not to venture into the deep sea, yet she herself was heading further into it.

Tian Lin didn't know if the other party was investigating the scarcity of fish in Immortal Sinking Pond or looking into matters regarding Nine-Life True Man—

These issues were of no concern to him; he was only worried that Tong Yao had seen him fishing in the sea.

After all, even a Golden Core cultivator who falls into Immortal Sinking Pond would sink straight to the bottom.

If someone knew that he could enter Immortal Sinking Pond without drowning, who would resist capturing him to interrogate thoroughly?

"I clearly kept a good distance from the coast, yet I still had the misfortune of encountering this Elder from the Tong Family. However, she probably didn't see me enter the water; otherwise, she wouldn't be so indifferent,"

Seeing that it was still afternoon, Tian Lin, fearing to encounter Tong Yao again on her return journey, decided to head straight back to shore.

As he approached the coast, the large boat belonging to the Three Rivers Gang was still fishing.

But what fish could there be near the shore? Even if there were fish, the sea demons lurking a few feet under the surface were not so easily wounded.

There, Zhang Xiaoke, who wore a square scarf on the bow, also saw Tian Lin, reeled in his fish spear, performed a courtesy, and then asked Tian Lin:

"May I ask if the Elder has caught any fish today?"

Tian Lin smiled and, without any reservations, released the Two-headed Fish from his storage bag.

The fish was enormous, and coupled with Tian Lin standing on the boat, the small boat could hardly accommodate the Two-headed Fish.

The boat dipped down, showing signs of capsizing.

Before the boat flipped, Tian Lin stepped on the gunwale to stabilize the boat's balance.

On the large boat and the small boats beside it, the fishermen couldn't help but exclaim:

"This one fish, it's worth at least twenty to thirty Low Grade Spirit Stones, right?"

A boatman immediately asked Tian Lin: "Senior, where did you catch this fish?"

Which inevitable revelation could Tian Lin hide?

He frankly said: "I caught it in the deep sea, and indeed, it took quite some effort."

Was it just 'quite some effort'?

Such a large fish. If it were on land, even a Qi Refiner would not fear it.

Or in an ordinary sea area, even a Qi Refiner could easily catch it.

But in the Immortal Sinking Pond, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would find it very difficult to fish it out of the pond.

"Senior's cultivation is profound and unfathomable; I admire you greatly."

After Zhang Xiaoke finished speaking, Tian Lin had already put the two-headed fish back into his Storage Bag.

He didn't linger here and took the boat back to the coast amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

The coast had the Tong Family's river port, which was a barrier-style building different from other shops.

This river port had been built for hundreds of years; although still towering, its wooden pillars and thresholds were already pitted.

The river port was established next to a brothel, which seemed very lively, while the entrance to the river port was deserted.

Tian Lin entered the river port, only to smell a faint fishy odor, but the Water Official of the river port was nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, someone recognized from Tian Lin's clothing that he was a Foundation Establishment powerhouse, and took the initiative to go to the brothel next door to call someone.

It wasn't long before the plump and pale Water Official came running down from the neighboring brothel, tying his belt.

He clasped his hands in front of Tian Lin and asked: "Senior, what would you like?"

Tian Lin, not one for idle chatter, first showed the Water Official the Tribute Plate from the Tong Family, then took the two-headed fish out of his Storage Bag.

"You weigh it and see how much it is worth in Spirit Stones."

The two-headed fish was huge, thumping the sturdy stone counter heavily as it landed on it.

The Water Official couldn't help but draw in a breath, and the onlookers also subconsciously gathered around to look at the boat-sized two-headed fish.

"If it were a Five Elements Jiao, that would be a big profit."

Someone made such a comment.

After all, the two-headed fish only had usable internal organs and scales, but how heavy could the organs be? And how many pounds could the scales weigh?

The Five Elements Jiao was different. Its body filled with five poisons, whether it was scales or organs, flesh or bones, all could be converted into money.

"Senior, please wait a moment, I will butcher the fish for you!"

The Water Official wiped his hands, oddly enough, he hadn't touched the fish, but there seemed to be a fishy smell on his hands.

Tian Lin frowned and stopped him from reaching for the knife, instead summoning his flying sword to slice open the fish belly first.

With a wave of his right hand, the fish's innards all fell into the iron basin beside him.

Without needing the Water Official to intervene, Tian Lin also shaved off the fish gills and scales and threw them into the basin.

Only then did the Water Official step forward to weigh them, and finally said: "Senior, would you like this fish meat? If not, you can also sell it to us for two Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Tian Lin glanced at the two-headed fish's carcass, the prompt indicating that although it's nothing remarkable, it has the effects of improving vision and replenishing Water Spiritual Energy.

This was much stronger than the Spiritual Energy others gained from eating Spirit Rice.

"If I remember correctly, the meat of the two-headed fish shouldn't be edible, right? What are you going to use it for?"

The Water Official immediately explained:

"Although the meat of the two-headed fish is poisonous, the poison is not incurable. You just need to spend some Silver to buy some medicine to neutralize most of the poison. The rest is nothing but a stomach upset."

He said: "For powerful ones like Senior and sons and daughters of prominent families, of course, there is no need to eat the meat of the two-headed fish to replenish Spiritual Energy. But for the lowly people, the two-headed fish is the only spirit flesh they can afford."

Tian Lin came to a realization and said: "You can buy the innards from me, but I'll take the meat of the two-headed fish back for myself."

The Water Official thought he had heard wrong and was momentarily still.

Tian Lin directly put the two-headed fish's body back into the Storage Bag and asked the Water Official: "After weighing the scales and innards, how many Spirit Stones do you plan to give me?"

If it were an ordinary fisherman, the Water Official would naturally drastically underbid.

But Tian Lin was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and moreover, a Tribute of the Tong Family; he dared not covet the Spirit Stones.

The ten-odd pounds of innards and more than eight pounds of scales altogether converted to twenty-six Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Being able to obtain twenty-six Low Grade Spirit Stones by fishing was quite an impressive feat.

But Tian Lin was not satisfied and decided to venture even deeper into the sea tomorrow.
