New and dark light years

Chapter 227 Jade Bowl
With Li Shitong under his wing, Li Lin's intelligence-gathering capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

Of course... Li Lin did not place all his hopes on Li Shitong. He would still have others, as well as his soldiers and yamen runners, keep an eye out for intelligence and information related to cultivation.

Li Shitong took the ten taels of silver and limped away from the county government office.

He only had a superficial injury, and after taking Shengxi Pills, his symptoms were relieved. He just needs to rest for two more days and he will be fine.

After Li Shitong left, Li Lin went home to continue his spiritual practice.

They had just reached the moon archway in the backyard when they saw a figure fly out backwards.

It was obvious without even thinking that it was Li Yanjing.

After Li Lin went inside, he indeed saw the Tree Fairy floating in mid-air, her long blue snake tail still swaying slightly.

Upon seeing Li Lin, she snorted and then disappeared.

He was clearly a little angry.

Then Huang Qing walked over, covered her mouth and chuckled, "My lord, it seems you have angered the Empress."

Li Lin sighed: "There's nothing I can do, I understand. Are you angry?"

Huang Qing shook her head: "If it were Rong Niangzi, I would be angry. But I think it's fine with Yan Jing."

Hongluan, who was standing next to Huang Qing, nodded in agreement.

Li Lin glanced at the sky; it was still early before lunchtime. He put his arm around one woman on each side and said, "Come on, ladies, help me with my cultivation."

Huang Qing and Hong Luan both blushed immediately.

Because the 'pleasure threshold' is reset during dual cultivation, both of them, as well as Li Lin, always view 'yin and yang harmony' with the beautiful filter of their first taste of love.

You'll never get tired of it, and you don't need to do anything extravagant to satisfy yourself.

They always felt that such things were beautiful.

Rather than mere pleasure.

It is a fusion of spiritual essence.

Li Yanjing floated back from outside the moon archway, watching the three of them enter the 'Lin Yuan' minor spiritual vein with great envy.

After waiting for more than an hour, Li Lin came out first.

Then it floated up and said, "Patriarch, I just chatted with Xu Rong for a while. There's something you should decide on sooner rather than later."

"whats the matter?"

"The Wang family intends to give Xu Rong to you," Li Yanjing said with a smile. "But you don't seem interested in her."

Li Lin nodded.

He truly had no feelings for Xu Rong.

He had absolutely no interest in other people's concubines.

If he wanted a woman, he had plenty of unmarried women to choose from; why would he need to snatch someone else's?

"Then you should return her to her and not hold her back."

Li Lin thought for a moment and nodded: "The Wang family is in Tianjin, which is quite far from here. We'll send her back in half a month. It will also be my wife's younger sister's coming-of-age ceremony at that time, so we can take Qing'er there to participate."

"It's good that you have your own opinions." Li Yanjing smiled.

Three more days passed quickly.

Li Yanjing was slapped away several more times by the Tree Fairy Goddess, but it was clear that the Tree Fairy Goddess's 'hitting' force was getting weaker and weaker.

It's estimated that if Li Yanjing waits a few more days, the Tree Fairy Goddess will accept her.

And the way she looked at Li Lin became increasingly alluring.

They even dared to speak to Li Lin openly.

Huang Qing pretended not to see it.

On the fourth day, the soldiers who had gone out returned.

Li Lin met with Xiao Chunzhu at the military camp outside Yulin City.

In the past few days, he led five hundred soldiers to surround Kongji Temple and successfully carried out a siege and search.

More than forty monks were escorted back.

They also brought back a large amount of gold and silver.

And, a strange object.

"Commander, this was found in a secret underground cellar at Kongji Temple."

It was a jade bowl. When placed in a bright place, it would gather the surrounding light and then radiate it out, making it look brighter than other things.

Li Lin took a look and immediately sensed that this thing was different from others.

It was ice-cold to the touch, almost too cold.

Most importantly, he noticed some peculiar patterns on the bottom of the jade bowl.

The patterns formed the shape of an 'ocean'.

And this ocean gave Li Lin a very familiar feeling.

After a few moments of thought, he matched this thing with the 'illusion'.

"Did any monk explain the purpose of this thing?" Li Lin asked.

Xiao Chunzhu shook her head: "I have already interrogated them, especially the abbot and elders of Kongji Temple. They don't know anything about it. They only know that this thing was passed down from hundreds of years ago and is related to immortals. But they don't know its specific function."

Li Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "Is there anything else?"

“We also brought back the account books of Kongji Temple from the past ten years or so!” Xiao Chunzhu said with a sneer. “Those bald monks keep talking about saving all living beings, but they do disgusting things.”

"What's going on?"

"Buying and selling women and children!"

Li Lin frowned, then said, "Give all the evidence to the county magistrate; he'll be very pleased."

"Yes!"

"As for those monks, they will be imprisoned first, and the county magistrate will determine their sentences later."

"Yes!"

"Anything else?"

At this moment, Xiao Chunzhu came closer and whispered, "We found a lot of money in that secret cellar. The monks at Kongji Temple are very rich."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Give half to the county magistrate, and he will find a way to handle it. The rest will stay with the prefectural army. I will send someone to count it in a few days, and then everyone will get a share."

"Yes!"

Soon, dozens of monks were transferred to the prison.

Li Lin then took the jade bowl back home.

He felt this was no ordinary item, so he asked Li Yanjing to take a look first.

Li Yanjing glanced at it twice but still couldn't tell what it was.

Li Lin looked at the 'ocean' pattern on the bottom of the jade bowl and then took it into the small spiritual vein.

as predicted.

After entering the minor spiritual vein, the jade bowl became even brighter.

Especially the 'ocean' pattern at the bottom, which even started to glow faintly, is quite beautiful.

Before long, a little white liquid condensed at the bottom.

Li Lin glanced at it and found that this thing was very similar to his current blood energy.

His blood is now white and teardrop-shaped.

Could it be?

He picked up the droplet-shaped liquid with his fingers and then went outside.

At that moment, Li Yanjing suddenly floated over.

"It smells so good!" She looked at the water droplets on Li Lin's fingers, licked her lips, and asked, "Is this your blood? It doesn't quite smell like it. The scent is a bit different. It lacks a human touch and has a chill."

"It was condensed in the jade bowl." Li Lin looked at the small spiritual vein: "Now the spiritual energy inside has decreased significantly."

Li Yanjing clapped her hands suddenly: "Could this thing... be used to collect spiritual energy?"

"That's possible!" Li Lin thought for a moment, then held the liquid on his finger forward. "Want to try some?"

"it is good!"

Li Yanjing immediately put Li Lin's finger in her mouth.

Then her eyes brightened slightly, and she gently scratched Li Lin's fingers twice with the tip of her tongue before covering her mouth and stepping back.

"The taste is alright, but it's quite different from your blood and energy."
