Chapter 333: Invitation
Two days later, Lin Qing and Lin Zhiqi returned, but both were having difficulty making a decision.
It wasn't that the Crab Demon was not present, as Lin Zhiqi had said. The Crab Demon did indeed come ashore at a fixed time. However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that when he took a look, the Crab Demon turned out to be a Mid Gold Core level monster, with strength comparable to his own.
He wasn't confident in capturing the Crab Demon. If he were to startle the monster and it didn't come out again in the future, then all their efforts would be in vain.
So Lin Qing and Lin Zhiqi just observed from a distance and then returned.
"Master, if our entire Lin family were to make a move, we should be able to subdue this monster," Lin Zhiqi spoke up.
Lin Qing shook his head. "Perhaps we would have a chance to subdue this monster, but if it has any special means, our Lin family cannot afford to suffer losses. After all, it is a Mid Gold Core level monster, and we cannot imagine it based on common sense."
"In that case, wouldn't we be at a loss?" Lin Zhiqi asked again.
Lin Qing was also pondering. It had been five years since the failed formation setup, and he still needed time to improve his cultivation. If the Crab Demon was willing to stay in one place, then it would be best to wait until he reached the Mid Gold Core level before going. However, this possibility was probably not very high. If the location was changed randomly, it would be difficult to find him.
"Perhaps we can look for that person and see if he can help," Lin Qing muttered.
"Are you referring to that person, Master?"
Lin Zhiqi also thought of this point. That person was the Bag Master.
Since discovering the Bag Master, Lin Qing had informed the younger generation of the Lin family about this news, so Lin Zhiqi was also aware. At first, he was just as surprised as everyone else, but now, after five years, the surprise had faded.
"That's right," Lin Qing nodded. "Perhaps we can seek his assistance. If he is willing, the two of us joining forces at the Gold Core level would greatly increase our chances of success."
"And if he is unwilling," Lin Qing didn't continue.
If the Bag Master was willing, it would naturally be good. After succeeding, they would have monster cores, and Lin Qing would have a much better grasp of setting up formations than last time, so there would be no need to worry in the future. If he was unwilling, it would be a good opportunity to drive him away from the Lin family. Regardless, they would have one less threat.
With this in mind, Lin Qing made up his mind and decided to go find the Bag Master.
In these five years, Lin Qing not only continued his cultivation, but also gained more mastery over his treasures. He was confident that with the Good Water Pearl and the Thousand Shield, he had a much greater chance of winning against the injured Mid Gold Core level Bag Master than before.
Arriving at the Lin family's gathering place, in order to show goodwill, Lin Qing did not release his treasures and simply entered the Bag Master's shop.
Compared to five years ago, it seemed unchanged. The shop had not undergone any changes, still selling those first-grade talismans. However, in certain places, there was a hint of the passage of time.
"Bag Master, how have you been lately?" Lin Qing asked as he entered.
At this moment, the Bag Master seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled when he saw Lin Qing and asked, "Why, Fellow Daoist Lin, are you interested in coming to my shop today? I wonder what brings you here. You're not here to drive me away, are you? I still have twenty-five years left on my lease."
"Hahaha, how could that be? Actually, I have a request for the master," Lin Qing laughed and said, then took a seat without hesitation.
"A request from me?" The Bag Master glanced at Lin Qing and sat down without paying much attention.
"Master, your injuries have mostly recovered over these five years, right?" Lin Qing asked.
"This... Fellow Daoist, there's no need for you to worry." Master Poda seemed unwilling to talk about his injuries.
"Hey, I'm not intentionally prying, but it's related to this journey. Master, how is your recovery going?" Lin Qing asked reluctantly.
Staring at Lin Qing for a few moments, Master Poda reluctantly said, "It's about seventy to eighty percent recovered."
"Good, then I can rest assured." Lin Qing smiled and continued, "Actually, the purpose of this trip is to ask Master to help me deal with a Gold Core demonic beast. After the matter is done, you can make any request, as long as it's something I can do."
"Deal with a Gold Core demonic beast?"
Even Master Poda was surprised, then shook his head and said, "Are you joking? Not to mention that my injuries haven't healed, each Gold Core demonic beast is powerful and not easy to deal with. Moreover, from what I know about the Gold Core demonic beasts in your Yunzhou, there are only a few. Even if we join forces, it would be difficult."
"Master Poda, you misunderstood. It's not in our Yunzhou, but in the Endless Sea," Lin Qing said.
Just as he finished speaking, Master Poda's voice raised a few notches, "That's even more impossible! You have too much courage. The Endless Sea has many demonic beasts, and each Gold Core demonic beast is even more difficult to deal with, not to mention they are in the sea. Don't even think about it. I came to your Yunzhou to avoid them. Let alone Gold Core demonic beasts, I don't even want to encounter a Purple Mansion."
"What if I told you that the demonic beasts from the Endless Sea have come ashore?" Lin Qing said mysteriously.
Master Poda didn't react for a moment, then curiously looked at Lin Qing several times before his tone changed, "Lin Fellow Daoist, what are you thinking? You don't need to say anymore. I won't help you deal with any Gold Core demonic beast. I have my own matters to attend to."
"Hmph!" Lin Qing snorted.
Seeing that Lin Qing was unhappy, Master Poda had to say, "Lin Fellow Daoist, it's not that I don't want to help, but each Gold Core demonic beast has formidable Divine Abilities, much stronger than Purple Mansion demonic beasts. You and I are only at the early stage of Gold Core cultivation, our strength is truly insufficient."
"We can set up traps, and the demonic beast will only appear at a fixed time."
"Oh?" Master Poda was momentarily confused, thinking to himself, there are still such demonic beasts?
"Master Poda, I sincerely invite you. If you are willing to go, I promise to use all the resources of my Lin family to help you recover. Not to mention anything else, we can provide several healing spiritual herbs. It would be of great benefit to your recovery. If you continue to stay in my Lin family like this, it may not be enough even for the fifty-year lease we agreed upon."
Master Poda didn't speak. His injuries were beyond what Lin Qing could imagine. If it weren't for the protection of treasures, he would have died long ago.
Indeed, as Lin Qing said, fifty years might not be enough.
"If your Lin family can really help me recover, I can help once." Master Poda's tone softened.
Seeing this, Lin Qing felt delighted. With Master Poda's help and setting up an ambush in advance, there was a good chance of capturing the Gold Core demonic beast. After obtaining the Gold Core, setting up restrictions would not be a concern.
Seeing Lin Qing's joy, Master Poda said again, "But let's make it clear in advance, I want seventy percent of the materials from that Gold Core demonic beast."
"Okay." In Lin Qing's mind, he only wanted the demonic core, and the other materials were not so important.
"Alright, we'll set off tomorrow. We shouldn't delay this matter any longer." Lin Qing said finally.
Master Poda nodded without saying anything more.
